Tomorrow, we’re hosting a Japanese client visit to our factory, and this is an extremely important opportunity for our company. We’ve been following up with this potential customer for more than half a year, and everything has gone smoothly so far. However, I’m really anxious about whether they will be satisfied with our factory after the tour.

 

To be honest, our factory is quite small. We only launched it earlier this year, and we don’t have regular, official production running yet. Our core strength lies in design and R&D, but we do not have any full‑time production‑related staff at all. We’ve been putting on a front to appear like a large, professional manufacturing enterprise, even though we aren’t experienced in actual mass production.

 

We’ve invested a lot of money and effort for this visit, with no guaranteed return. We placed material orders on our own, but these are basically fake orders, not for real commercial sales. Almost all the materials have arrived today, and we plan to start assembly today or tomorrow to simulate normal production. We’ve brought in temp workers and staff from other factories to pose as our regular employees for the visit. The whole arrangement is basically rehearsed like a script. We’ve even had all our production equipment calibrated to look more professional.

 

Our boss also brought in two overseas directors to support this visit: Todd, an American, as our Quality Director, and John from Scotland as our Production Director.

 

For tomorrow’s site display, all sixteen workers on‑site are temporary hires — even our production supervisor is temporary. None of them are our permanent in‑house employees.

 

This client is my personal project, and I will earn a commission if we successfully land the deal. This is a huge long‑term cooperation opportunity. The customer produces smart trash cans, with three different models currently on the market. If we can establish a stable business relationship with them, we can work together for many years, which will be a fantastic chance for our company to grow.

 

I’ve put so much work into preparing for this visit, and I really hope everything goes perfectly tomorrow. I’m crossing my fingers that we can impress the client and finally secure this big order.
