Shànghǎi, dōu yijìng yōu zhèiyang-de tèqū. Yīhòu dàgài hái huì gèng duō.

Hey, Xiǎo Chén, have you been out shopping?

Yes. When one comes to Guǎngzhōu, one can’t go back empty-handed. I
bought a shirt for my wife.

Well! What a classy shirt! The price is also pretty good. Later, I’ll go
buy a couple, too. Is this kind of shirt produced in Guǎngzhōu?

No, it’s produced in Sǔzhǒu.

We didn’t see any when we were in Sǔzhǒu! Apparently, all of China’s
good things come together in Guǎngzhōu!

The machines and consumer items at the Guǎngzhōu Trade Fair are shipped
here from all over the country, and after being exhibited, are sold
right here in Guǎngzhōu, so the stores here sell a lot of different
items, and of good quality.

Xiǎo Chén, I wanted to find out from you how the processing industry in
the vicinity of Guǎngzhōu is developing?

In recent years, it has been developing rather quickly. The main thing
is that there are some foreign companies participating in these
factories , so their production is very distinctive.

I saw a story in the paper today that said that ’’special economic
zones” have been established in several places.

Yes. There are already special zones like this in Guǎngdōng, Fújiàn, and
Shànghǎi. In the future, there will probably be even more of them.

Are there special lavs governing the situations in these special
economic zones?

Yes. We have the Chinese and the English (versions). Do you need it?

Yes!

Oh, right: you’re a lavyer! Of course you need it. I’ll go get it right
avay. Do you vant the Chinese or the English?

Both.

Okay. The Travel Service and the hotel both have it. Later, vhen ve go
back, I’ll get it for you. Oh, right—maybe they also have it at the
trade fair. I’ll go ask them for you.

All right! Let’s go together, and chat on the vay.

Okay!...You’ve probably heard that nov there are fever restrictions on
imports and exports, and ve have also concluded trade treaties vith many
countries, and are starting to engage in economic cooperation. So the
trade fair has been particularly lively the past fev years.

I’ve noticed that myself. Nov, as soon as you valk into the hall of the
trade fair, your eyes can’t take everything in. It’s really getting
better and better. And I hear that nov there are small-scale trade fairs
in other places, vhich a lot of foreign delegations attend. Is that so?

Yes. Especially since the Sino-American sea transportation treaty, the
larger ports have become even more prosperous. In these ports and in
Běijīng, there are nov small-scale trade fairs vhere many foreign
merchants do business.

Oh, yes. I’ve heard that. So I think the coastal region vill develop
greatly in the future.

-   B: Wō ye zènme xiǎng.

qīdiān ban!

A: Hāo, wō yídìng lái!

I think so, too.

I have another question: Do the. workers in special economic zones have
higher wages?

I believe so.

Then might not a new class arise?

It's not that serious!

Why?

Generally speaking, in factories that have the participation of foreign
companies, although the wages are higher, the efficiency is also higher.
"More pay for more work" is the economic policy of socialism, you see!

"More pay for more work"!’ That’s a good policy.

Oh, right—don't forget that we have a party in the restaurant tonight.

Party? Excuse me, but I don't remember.

The invitation was sent over to you yesterday. Have you forgotten?

Oh, yes: it's a farewell party!

Yes. It's being given by the China Travel Service. It's to send you off,
but also to welcome you.

Welcome?

To welcome you to come again!

Of course. We'll be sure to come again.

You mustn't forget. Seven-thirty in the evening!

^(r)kay, I’ll be sure to come!
