On June 24/25, 2017, nearly 300 customers and friends from various regions across the country of An'an International embarked on a ten day "2017 An'an International Wild Journey to the West Coast of the United States" by taking Air China United Airlines flights from their respective departure points, passing through the capital city of Beijing, and flying directly to Los Angeles or San Francisco in two routes.
Los Angeles - City of Angels
On the afternoon of June 24th local time in the United States, Air China successfully arrived in Los Angeles. The customers of An'an International, along with the local tour guide, drove to the small town of Santa Monica Beach on the west coast of the United States north of Los Angeles International Airport for sightseeing.
On the crowded pier, the signpost at the end of North American Highway 66 stands tall, as if telling the story of the past prosperity and hustle and bustle. The vast beach is adorned with people wearing colorful swimsuits, and the sea gently kisses the white sand. The Forrest Gump Shrimp restaurant on the dock, with an old-fashioned suitcase and a pair of dusty white Nike sneakers on the benches in front of the door, seems to make people feel that the protagonist Forrest Gump in the movie Forrest Gump, after running across Highway 66, is sitting there taking a nap. His spirit of self-improvement and struggle has touched countless audiences around the world.
After enjoying a Chinese dinner that night, the members checked into the Hilton Hotel (DoubleTree by Hilton Los Angeles Westside)
On the second day in Los Angeles, a client friend browsed the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame. The sidewalk is dotted with stars, shining brightly. Famous actors' signature hand models and footprints are scattered all over the ground, and each golden "star" represents an eternal commemoration of those who have made outstanding achievements in the film and television entertainment industry. Customers are eager to take photos with the "stars" as a souvenir, shining with starlight and bringing good luck!
In addition to walking on the Avenue of Stars, the client also visited the Chinese Theatre, Dolby Theatre, and Kodak Theatre.
The most enjoyable and regrettable thing is the afternoon attraction - Universal Studios Hollywood Theme Park.
Hollywood deserves to be a human dream making machine. In Universal Studios, the perfect combination of modern science and technology and film art will bring you the ultimate experience you have never had before.
The projects that are particularly fun and exciting include Harry Potter, Revenge of the Mummy, Transformers, Simpsons, Shrek Monster, Jurassic Park, and so on. Unfortunately, I am unable to provide photos of the scene to the audience here. These projects are not allowed to be photographed, but rather allowed to be photographed. In the situation of flying into the sky and shaking the earth, using a camera was just a decoration, It's not something that I can describe and describe with my clumsy tongue. Without personal experience, I can't feel the excitement and surprise at that time. I only played a few very limited projects, and it was only after communicating with customers and friends in the same car that I realized there were still many fun projects that I missed. Due to travel limitations, I believe many customers and friends, like me, have some regrets when leaving Los Angeles for Las Vegas.
Baidu Baike: Los Angeles is located in the southwest of California, USA, and is the second largest city in the United States. It is also the largest metropolis in the western region and the largest seaport in the United States. One of the world's centers for culture, science, technology, international trade, and higher education, as well as world-renowned institutions in various professional and cultural fields. This city is one of the main centers of technology in the United States, with the largest seaport in the western United States and is known as the "City of Technology". Los Angeles has become the financial center in the United States, second only to New York.
On August 2, 1769 (the second day of Catholic Day of Our Lady), a Spanish expedition arrived here in search of a location for the establishment of a church. In 1781, the town was under construction and was referred to as the "Town of Our Lady of Angels", later known as the "City of Angels" (transliterated in Spanish as Los Angeles)
Never Nights Casino - Las Vegas
Although many clients were unable to travel to the United States due to strict visa review, the total number of trips to Hawaii in 2015 and Italy last year was still close to 300. Such a large group not only has to stagger their travel times, but also has different orders of cities and attractions to visit in the United States, with some entering from Los Angeles and others from San Francisco. There are a total of seven buses accompanying us in the United States. We took the internal number 3 bus, which entered from Los Angeles, then departed from Las Vegas to San Francisco and returned home. So, the process of this trip that the author told the audience was based on the itinerary of my group. As the city and established tourist attractions are the same, the author's account can still reflect the overview of this trip. Although the arrival and departure times of each vehicle's personnel are different, as they have to stay in the casino for a total of four days, they are all staying at the Treasure lsland Hotel&Casino next to Las Vegas Boulevard. The intersection of time allows the entire team to meet in Las Vegas.
On June 28th, US time, which was also the last night of our third car in the casino, the company held a grand party at the Gold and Silver Island Hotel where we stayed. Chen Zhigang, Chairman of An'an International Group, Chen Zhihao, Chairman of the Board, Chen Shaochang, General Manager of Mengsha Beauty and Cosmetics Co., Ltd., Deputy General Manager of An'an Beauty and Health Products Co., Ltd., Chen Jialiang, Deputy General Manager, Lu Feng, General Manager of An'an Marketing, Lin Nanyan, Zhang Runkun, Liu Zhaoxiong, as well as the main responsible persons of the company's six major centers, sales managers of various regions, and all traveling customers gathered together to drink and have fun. Chen Zhihao, the Chairman of the Group Company, delivered a speech on behalf of the Group Company, thanking our clients and friends for their support to An'an International and this event. The main leaders of the company, together with core members of the marketing team, toasted the customers and wished for a better tomorrow for the cooperation between manufacturers!
Chen Zhihao, Chairman of An'an International Group, delivered a speech at the evening party
At the party, we also specially customized a birthday cake for our clients and friends on their birthday. Candles were lit, and Miss Jili, who served on-site, sang Happy Birthday to You with everyone! Presented a beautiful blessing in a foreign land, making the birthday stars and elderly women feel warm and friendly. The mechanical wooden ox riding competition selected by various sales regions is full of wit and humor, and the hot dance between all the customers and Miss Jili has pushed the party to its climax
During their four-day stay in the casino, clients also toured the Grand Canyon (West Gorge) Skyway, where they could admire the magnificent and unique landscape of the canyon on the U-shaped transparent glass corridor hanging high in the abyss, marveling at the masterful craftsmanship of its creators. Some customers choose to take a helicopter for a bird's-eye view, fly over the valley floor, and experience a different feeling by drifting with the waves in the river at the bottom of the valley.
Shopping is an essential part of any overseas trip for Chinese people, and our group is not far away. Originally, we arranged for a day of Outlets shopping, but it was not satisfying. At the strong request of our clients and friends, we added another day to continue our shopping. It is not an exaggeration to say that in those two days, in Beiao (where there are two cities in Las Vegas), Chinese faces were everywhere, and various Chinese credit cards were swiping and swiping. Even the writers couldn't resist the herd effect and were desperately transfusion for the GDP of the United States. There's no way! Who says our brand awareness is not as high as others, who says our quality is not as good as others, and who says our imported brands are so expensive? It's not about spending so much money to worry, it's about sending a lot of money to people's wallets to worry! Domestic products should be self reliant! As said, let's roll up our sleeves and work hard! To carry forward the craftsmanship spirit of our ancestors, to make our quality and brand even better than theirs, and to let the wealthy of the world come to us for overseas shopping, that is truly patriotism.
Some viewers have said that you are a gambling city, and everyone knows that Las Vegas is a world-famous gambling city, but you haven't even bet a single "chip". Indeed, especially at night walking slowly on Las Vegas Boulevard, with two rows of super luxury hotels towering along the street, dazzling lights, dazzling lights, and extravagance, each one is a huge casino. The entire first floor of the Treasure Island Hotel where we stayed is displayed with various gambling tools, even when we arrived at the airport upon departure, gambling tools were prominently displayed in the waiting aisle, allowing you to keep the money for the journey at any time.
Here, besides gambling, marijuana and striptease are all legal and can be enjoyed as long as you are over 21 years old. The reason why the author only mentioned it at the end is that our clients all rely on sharp business acumen, treating cosmetics as a career and working hard to become rich in the market year after year. None of them started their careers through gambling. Of course, since we have arrived at the gambling city, there are many people here to try their skills, and the only focus is on one experience. Whether we win or lose is just a matter of laughter. Additionally, the author has another layer of meaning. Although Las Vegas is a gambling city, some call it hell, while others call it heaven. Behind the scenes of pornography, gambling, and drugs, Las Vegas is a world-renowned entertainment capital built by Americans in just ten years on the edge of a desert filled with death. Among them, what kind of business philosophy and model did the Americans use to create this miracle is truly worthy of our serious consideration Drawing on and learning from.
Baidu Baike: Las Vegas was founded in 1905 and is the largest city in Nevada, United States. It is also one of the world's four major gambling cities with high international reputation. It is a world-renowned resort city centered on the gambling industry for tourism, shopping, and vacation. It is known as the "World Entertainment Capital" and "Marriage Capital". From an inconspicuous and dilapidated village to a huge international city, Las Vegas only took ten years.
If you are poor and have only a few dollars left, going to Las Vegas may turn you upside down. If you can't spend all your money, going to Las Vegas may experience the carefree lifestyle of a homeless person. Las Vegas is like this, on one hand it's hell, on the other hand it's heaven.
Tourist destination - San Francisco
On June 30th, US time, a client friend left Las Vegas and took an inland flight to the last city of their journey, San Francisco. The tour guide was Mr. Meng, a Northeastern resident of the United States who had been living there for over a decade. Mr. Meng, the tour guide, has a solid foundation and is very dedicated. As soon as the car moves, he starts telling everyone about the scenery along the way. His explanations are very broad, with strong common sense and knowledge, and he has received widespread praise from customers in the same car.
On that day, a customer friend accompanied Mr. Meng to visit and tour the downtown area of San Francisco. Firstly, they visited the Golden Gate Bridge, which is a masterpiece of the great bridge of 20th century humanity and is a symbol of San Francisco.
In the past, I often saw descriptions of the Golden Gate Bridge in novels, movies, and TV works, which left a deep impression on me. However, when I witnessed the real version of the Golden Gate Bridge, the entire steel structure of the bridge with a red body, and its large span, still left a great shock in my heart. The bridge is truly majestic and imposing. If you can connect it with the scenes from the stories in art works to admire, in the misty rain, the bridge will be draped with a layer of swirling gauze, adding a touch of nostalgia and a touch of historical beauty.
The American Art Palace and Fisherman's Wharf were two other attractions for sightseeing that day. The Fisherman's Wharf is just a dock that doesn't attract me much. Some customers take a cruise ship to sea to see whales, while others enjoy seasonal seafood and sea crabs. The author is not interested in sea crabs, so he and his colleagues take photos around the dock to see the scenery and street performers performing.
The American Art Palace is indeed a scenic spot worth visiting. The United States is an immigrant country with a history of only over 200 years, and it is also a high-tech country. Along the way, the feeling I had was that (it's hard not to overlook the whole picture) when traveling to the United States, one should take a look at the natural landscape and play with high-tech. Historic buildings like the Art Palace are really rare, unlike in European countries where hundreds or even thousands of ancient buildings can be seen everywhere.
The Art Palace was founded in 1915 and was originally the site of the Panama Pacific International Exposition. Everyone has heard of the story of the Chinese liquor Maotai dropping a bottle at an international exhibition, right here. At that time, no one was interested in the exhibition of the national liquor Maotai. The exhibition officials were eager to smash a bottle of Maotai on site, and the aroma of the liquor was overflowing. They immediately conquered the audience and judges at the exhibition and won the gold medal in the exhibition's liquor category. As the saying goes, domestic products should strive for self-improvement, quality is the top priority, and the aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys. Innovation in marketing methods is also an indispensable means of brand building. Back in the day, the official who probably still had a big braid knew that marketing was very creative, with clear demands and a direct focus on the theme. He also had a special cost awareness and knew how to spend small money to accomplish big things. With only one bottle of liquor, he successfully launched an international advertisement for the national liquor Maotai. Compared to today's advertising investment of tens of millions or even billions, it made the industry's elites feel embarrassed. So, good advertising is not about burning money, but about the precision of creativity, in the effort of cleverness.
On the way to check in at the hotel that day, the tourist bus passed through Chinatown in the Chinese community of San Francisco, with two rows of Chinese shops and signs. It felt like returning to China all at once, although it looked a bit messy, it was still very friendly. I really admire these overseas Chinese compatriots. In foreign lands, each of them has a difficult history of struggle behind them. The Chinese nation is hardworking, wise, and constantly growing. No matter where it goes, it can survive, develop, and grow. Wishing overseas compatriots peace and happiness!
The dinner was at a Chinese restaurant, just across the street from the top ranked public university in the United States, the University of California, Berkeley campus. Although the author has limited knowledge, what I respect the most in my life is knowledge, and it is also the first time in my life that I am so close to a world-renowned university. Standing outside the campus wall, I felt like a devout believer visiting a pilgrimage site, and my heart of worship rose with oil. (If any reviewer thinks that I have spoken too much, please read a paragraph from Baidu Baike below before coming to a conclusion). Taking advantage of the time when everyone had not finished their meal, the author ran into the campus alone through a nearby side door, afraid to walk far, and hastily took a few photos before coming out. Although it was just a fleeting glance, I only saw a small corner, and my heart was full. My friend can also be considered to have entered the top three world-renowned schools.
Education is the foundation of a country and the true soft power of a country. If education is strong, the country will be strong, and education will achieve the future!
Check in at the DoubleTree by Hilton Berkeley Marina that night
A corner of the campus of the University of California, Berkeley
Baidu Baike: As of 2016, there were a total of 91 Nobel laureates (ranked fourth in the world), 13 Fields Prize winners (ranked fifth in the world), and 23 Bitmap Spirit Award winners (ranked first in the world) in Berkeley. Mathematician Chen Shengshen established the National Institute of Mathematical Sciences in the United States here; Oppenheimer, the father of atomic bombs, and others led the creation of humanity's first atomic and hydrogen bombs here; Nobel laureate in physics Ernest Lawrence invented the cyclotron here and established the top national laboratory in the United States, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory; Nobel laureates in chemistry, such as Siberg, discovered sixteen chemical elements here, which are far ahead in the world. Among them, the 97th element, "Berklee," is named after "Berkeley."; In the fields of engineering and computer science, Berkeley has trained a large number of talents for Silicon Valley in South Bay, including Intel founder Gordon Moore, Andy Grove, and Apple founder Steve Wozniak. Great writers Jack London and Eileen Chang studied and worked here, and current Federal Reserve Chairman Yellen is also a professor at the school.
On the second day in San Francisco, our client friends toured a picturesque seventeen mile stretch, admiring the quaint pine trees, overlooking the sea, bird island, seals, and getting close to seabirds and cute squirrels on the rocky coast. What particularly moves the author is that here, animals and humans are so harmonious and intimate. The lively and lovely little squirrel dares to actively come to you and stand up on both legs to demand food from your hands. If it weren't for the environmental awareness rooted in the hearts of tourists, in a completely natural ecological environment, not to mention begging for food from you, the little squirrel might have already fled to a foreign land in fear and disappeared without a trace. The attitude towards animals and the environment is the watershed between civilization and barbarism, progress and backwardness.
Walking into the exquisite seaside cultural town of Carmel in Monterey Bay, strolling slowly through the streets and alleys full of Bohemian flavor, admiring the masterpieces of painters and the diverse architectural styles of famous courtyards. With her fresh and elegant makeup and gentle feminine demeanor, Carmel Town has drawn a successful conclusion to An An International's trip to the West Coast of the United States.
On July 2nd, US time, the customer friends completed their entire journey and returned home on Air China.
Baidu Baike: San Francisco, also known as San Francisco or San Francisco, is a port city on the Pacific coast of California, USA. It is a world-renowned tourist destination and the fourth largest city in California in terms of population. San Francisco is located near the world-renowned high-tech industrial area of Silicon Valley, and is the world's most important high-tech research and development base and the most important financial center in the western United States. It is also the birthplace of the United Nations (United Nations Charter of 1945). San Francisco's Chinatown is known as the "largest Chinese residential area" outside of Asia and the "number one Chinatown in Europe and America.".
The ten day trip to the West Coast of the United States has come to an end. Although it was short, the journey was accompanied closely by our clients and friends, leaving unforgettable memories of each other wherever we went. It also made all the accompanying An An colleagues feel the kindness, sincerity, and enthusiasm of our clients and friends. Sincerely thank the customer for their strong support and cooperation in this event. After ten days of relaxed and enjoyable travel, we have all returned to our busy work state. Let's work together to achieve sales performance in the second half of the year! Achieve your dreams and forge brilliance again!
We have a scheduled appointment, and next year, we look forward to traveling the world with you again!
