700 years ago, 17-year-old Marco Polo, arrived China following his father and uncle after 4 years\u2019 long trip.\u00a0The Travel of Marco Polo<\/em>\u00a0unveiled the mysterious oriental world for the whole Europe at that time. Now 700 years later, a man with the same name, Marco, and his business partner visited Shanghai from Naples, after a stopover in London and 14 days of quarantine\u2026what for?<\/p>\n\n\n

The Biggest Opportunity This Year<\/strong> Marco, the exhibitor(\u53c2\u5c55\u5546 c\u0101nzh\u01censh\u0101ng<\/strong>) of China International Import Expo(CIIE \u8fdb\u535a\u4f1a j\u00ecnb\u00f3hu\u00ec<\/strong>) from Italy has been famous on Chinese media these days. He is the fourth-generation successor of one of the oldest shell carving family business in Naples. <\/p>\n\n\n

Whether or not to take part in the third CIIE is not a choice for Marco. Family persuaded him to think twice about the decision, as 28-day quarantine period(\u9694\u79bb\u671fg\u00e9l\u00edq\u012b<\/strong>) was definitely not short, plus other exhibitors started to withdraw. However, Marco has determined to join and prepared for the exhibition early. <\/p>\n\n\n

He left Naples with his business partner on October 20 and flew to Shanghai through London. After three times of nucleic acid tests(\u6838\u9178\u68c0\u6d4b h\u00e9su\u0101n ji\u01cenc\u00e8<\/strong>) and 14-day health quarantine(\u5065\u5eb7\u9694\u79bb ji\u00e0nk\u0101ng g\u00e9l\u00ed<\/strong>), Marco finally arrived CIIE on November 5.<\/p>\n\n\n

Last year, they participated CIIE and various delicate shell carvings drew great attention of many visitors on the spot. After returning home, Marco prepared to do a big business. Unexpectedly, the pandemic caused all business bleak and orders were decreased by more than 90%. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Though another 14-day quarantine is waiting for him upon returning home, Marco thinks everything is worth this oppotunity at CIIE because China becomes the biggest market to him now. 
How hard is it for foreigners to enter China now?<\/strong> As we know, during pandemic China has imposed restrictions on foreigners\u2019 entry. The policy is strict when it comes to the 3rd CIIE. Every foreign participant who enters China for the Expo in Shanghai must observe three stages.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

 Before entry(\u5165\u5883\u524dr\u00f9j\u00ecng qi\u00e1n<\/strong>), 14-day independent health monitoring(\u81ea\u4e3b\u5065\u5eb7\u68c0\u6d4b z\u00eczh\u01d4 ji\u00e0nk\u0101ng ji\u01cenc\u00e8<\/strong>) should be done. During entry(\u5165\u5883\u65f6r\u00f9j\u00ecng sh\u00ed<\/strong>), health declaration(\u5065\u5eb7\u7533\u660eji\u00e0nk\u0101ng sh\u0113nm\u00edng<\/strong>), body temperature test(\u4f53\u6e29\u68c0\u6d4b t\u01d0w\u0113n ji\u01cenc\u00e8<\/strong>) and sampling nucleic acid test must be submitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

 After entry(\u5165\u5883\u540er\u00f9j\u00ecng h\u00f2u<\/strong>), foreign visitors will be sent to designated hotel(\u6307\u5b9a\u9152\u5e97 zh\u01d0d\u00ecng ji\u01d4di\u00e0n<\/strong>) for a 14-day centralized health quarantine observation. Sampling nucleic acid test will be taken on the 5th and 12th day respectively for detection at agency. If all tests show negative(\u9634\u6027 y\u012bnx\u00ecng<\/strong>) and nothing abnormal happens during the period, visitors can go to attend expo on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Pass to CIIE<\/strong> Another exhibitor from New Zealand, Roy, finally got his green code(\u7eff\u7801 l\u01dcm\u01ce<\/strong>) after 14-day quarantine and went to National Exhibition and Convention Center(\u56fd\u5bb6\u4f1a\u5c55\u4e2d\u5fc3 gu\u00f3ji\u0101 hu\u00eczh\u01cen zh\u014dngx\u012bn<\/strong>). More to his delight, orders have come before him. He signed online on behalf of the company and finalized the order of 350 million yuan for next year with a few companies. What a magical journey through southern to northern hemisphere!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

 What Roy has experienced could be called “braving the wind and the waves(\u4e58\u98ce\u7834\u6d6a ch\u00e9ngf\u0113ngp\u00f2l\u00e0ng<\/strong>)” due to the difficulty to come to the exhibition. New Zealand has strict prevention and control standards on pandemic. Not to say twice nucleic acid tests before leaving, the visa application alone is troublesome enough. After the plane arrived in China, another two nucleic acid tests in succession has to be completed, but he felt everything is worth it when he was standing in the exhibition hall. <\/p>\n\n\n

\u00a0During pandemic, Roy\u2019s company established a\u00a0live stream(\u76f4\u64ad\u00a0zh\u00ed b\u014d<\/strong>)\u00a0team in China for online\u00a0marketing, resulting an explosive growth\u00a0of online sale, which turned the\u00a0loss\u00a0during pandemic\u00a0into profit by increase the online sale more\u00a0than 80%. This makes him believe that China is the most important market to\u00a0New Zealand\u2019s dairy product and he must come to CIIE again.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
