In order to rekindle the "urban fireworks", Ningbo has restarted the issuance of consumer coupons from the end of February. In April, the General Office of the Municipal Government issued the "Several Measures to Stabilize the Chain and Help Enterprises in Ningbo". With the implementation of a series of bailout policies in the consumer sector, Ningbo's consumer market rebounded rapidly. Data released by the Municipal Bureau of Statistics shows that from January to May, the city's total retail sales of consumer goods reached 175.25 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 2 places in the province. Among them, the consumption recovery momentum in May was good, and the recovery rate of social zero was better than that of the whole province and the whole country. In terms of industries, industries such as home appliances and catering are gradually recovering, and new consumption fields such as live broadcast e-commerce are in full swing.

As we all know, July and August are the holiday season for Europeans. For many of them, sunshine, blue sea, and sandy beaches will be their favorite holiday destination. It is not only a reward for themselves, but also to refresh themselves for the next step. So, no business!

However, as the epidemic continues, it is urgent for foreign trade companies to stabilize their orders. Despite all the difficulties, Ningbo launched the country's first business round-trip charter flight to expand the market. In this regard, there were some different voices: It's the holiday season now. Foreigners might have gone on vacation, and customers may not be available; since there is no exhibition in Europe, their visit might be in vain; we might as well wait and see.

Despite all these voice, Wei Guowen responded with practical actions.
