Zhejiang Investment and Trade Symposium


One of the features of the Investment and Trade Symposium was a ceremony in which companies from the municipality of Huzhou signed agreements with companies from other places. As Mayor Ma and other officials looked on (they are the men standing), dozens of business owners, in groups of 8 or 10, were escorted to a table in the front of the room to sign their name to an agreement.
The men, most dressed in dress shirts with ties, were escorted to the signing stations by young Chinese women dressed in traditional red dresses while the theme from "The Magnificent Seven" blared from speakers around the room. It was quite a spectacle!
