On September 10, 2024, I had the pleasure of welcoming my long-time client, Said, from Algeria, to the Evangel office in Shanghai. Having cooperated with Said since 2019, our five-year partnership has been incredibly smooth and successful, and I had been eagerly anticipating the chance to meet him in person. When he informed me of his visit, I was thrilled, as this meeting felt like the culmination of years of trust and collaboration.

I arranged a smooth pick-up for him at the airport, ensuring that his arrival was stress-free. After a long journey, I knew Said would be tired, so I booked a comfortable hotel near our company for his stay. Wanting him to be well-rested, I encouraged him to take the day to relax and recover from the long-distance flight. We scheduled our company tour and meeting for the following day.

On the second day, everything was prepared in advance. The meeting room was set up, and I made sure that all necessary documents and product information were ready for our discussions. We had a detailed and productive conversation, going over Said’s various requirements for the machines he was interested in. I carefully noted all his specifications and preferences, ensuring that our upcoming quotation would reflect his needs accurately.

By the end of the meeting, Said expressed his confidence in our future cooperation. It was clear that this visit had strengthened our relationship even further. Though the visit was brief, it was a key moment in our partnership, as it deepened the trust between us and laid the groundwork for more successful collaborations in the years to come.
