If you want to turn the "westward journey" from Henan to Europe from the 188bet app download freight train into a "thousand-mile road", you must first get the "passing pass certificate" for the access routes of various countries along the way. The hardships of this journey can be described as "9981 difficulties".
The young man from Henan Zhongyu International Port Group Co., Ltd. has become a "broken wall".
Recently, the 2025 "Youth Chapter·Yu You Walk with You" online theme publicity and interactive guidance activity of the 2025 "Youth Chapter·Yu You Walk with You" ideological and political course, guided by the Internet Communication Bureau of the Central Cyberspace Affairs Office and co-organized by the Propaganda Department of the Henan Provincial Party Committee, the Cyberspace Affairs Office of the Henan Provincial Party Committee and other eight departments, was launched in Zhengzhou, Henan. At the launching ceremony, five young backbones of Henan Zhongyu International Port Group Co., Ltd. took the theme of "Youth Building Dreams and Port Connecting the World", telling the story of the 188bet app download Express (Zhengzhou) expanding channels, strengthening hubs, promoting trade and gathering industries.
"You reminded me of Genghis Khan's postman"
On July 18, 2013, the first 188bet app download freight train in Henan set off from Zhengzhou. This day also became an important starting point for Li Mingsheng's career.
In the early stage of the development of the train, it mainly relied on the departure of the Alashankou port. With the rapid development of business, building a diversified port system has become an urgent task. Erlianhot, Inner Mongolia, became the first choice because of its geographical advantages - it is close to Zhengzhou, and once it is activated, it can save two days of transportation time. So, Li Mingsheng volunteered to lead the team to the battle.
In the extremely cold weather at minus 30 degrees Celsius, he ran between Mongolian customs, railway bureaus and freight stations. If the Mongolian language is not accessible, use translation software to overcome it. If the policy is unclear, he will be at the door of relevant departments to wait for answers.
"I remember that day, the snow water in my boots had already frozen and my toes were frozen and unconscious. Standing on the streets of Zamenwude, Mongolia, I realized for the first time what the loneliness of 'being alone in a foreign land' was like a stranger'." Li Mingsheng said that hard work pays off. When the head of the Mongolian Customs looked at his dark circles and said, "Young man, you reminded me of Genghis Khan's postman", he knew that this meant the first step to success.
However, challenges follow. When the first train leaving the country through Erlianhot Port was about to enter Mongolia, the other party suddenly informed: the documents do not meet the customs clearance requirements and will not be released! This made everyone's hearts, including Li Mingsheng, hang up instantly.
"I'll go to the airport right away!" After a brief report, he grabbed his document bag and luggage and went straight to the airport. On the way, the screen of the phone lights up and goes dark, and Li Mingsheng and his colleagues modify every detail. When he arrived at the customs building late at night, he sat on the cold steps to check the data with his mobile phone light. As dawn broke out, he and his colleagues finally completed the modification of the required documents. The train finally passed smoothly.
Li Mingsheng said that the smooth opening of Erlianhot Port is an important milestone for Zhengzhou International Land Port to achieve multi-port layout. It has greatly expanded Zhengzhou's "international circle of friends" and injected a steady stream of new momentum into this thousand-year-old business road! Today, Zhengzhou International Land Port has woven a global logistics network connecting 25 countries and covering eight major ports.
"I did it!"
On this "travel to the west", getting the "passing certificate" is only the first step. How to gain the trust of customers in the vast Asian and European markets, establish a huge "international circle of friends", and ultimately "traveling together on the road" and achieve win-win results is a test of the market's ability to develop. The burden has made Zhao Yifei, an employee of the European Business Department of 188bet app download Express (Zhengzhou), feels under great pressure.
At the beginning, it was extremely difficult to develop foreign markets. She brought her train brochures to visit customers in remote logistics areas every day, but what she gained was distrustful eyes and cold rejection.
"The trust gap makes the pressure of 'zero order' follow suit." After countless walls, the email reply from Italian customer Mario brought a glimmer of hope to Zhao Yifei. She told herself: This time, you must not give up easily!
Faced with customers' concerns about timeliness and costs, Zhao Yifei transformed into a "translator" and communication hub. During countless late nights, she guarded the computer and phone to ensure that she could answer the other party's confusion as soon as possible. After hard work, Mario finally promised to give the test order, which made her very happy! "Although the order is small, it is as heavy as a tremendous amount to us. This is a breakthrough in the business and the germination of trust."
After the train was sent, Zhao Yifei and his colleagues devoted themselves to ensuring the "primary voyage", tracking the entire process, promptly feedback, and prompt troubleshooting. When the goods arrived in Italy safely and Mario's surprise voice came from the phone, she said to herself with tears in her eyes: "I did it!"
"After that, Mario not only kept orders, but also took the initiative to become the 'spokesperson', recommending 188bet app download freight train services to peers, and even becoming our warehouse and transportation agent in Milan!" Zhao Yifei said that the customer has changed from a skeptical attempter to a firm peer of this "steel camel fleet"! "And there are more and more such 'peers'!"
Today, 15,000 188bet app download freight trains departing from Zhengzhou have been launched, accounting for 13.6% of the total number of launches in the country, serving more than 8,000 global customers and business in more than 140 cities in more than 40 countries!
"Human Meat Standard Library"
The railway tracks are stretching and the trains are speeding, but the "surging heartbeat" of the steel wire road originates from the ensemble symphony of the integration of "transport, trade and production"! How to turn "transport capacity" into "trade opportunity", promote "industry", and weave a win-win and win-win Eurasian network?
10 years ago, Zhang Shuang was still a workplace novices who couldn't even distinguish between international trade terms. But today, as a staff member of the commodity procurement department, she dares to proudly reveal the company's report card of the "transportation and trade integration" project - in the past three years alone, a total of 12,500 tons of Belarus whey powder, 2,000 tons of beef, 1,000 tons of chicken feet, and 500 German beer cabinets... They are all visible in the food stalls on the streets and alleys and the dazzling array of hypermarkets.
"But what is more precious than performance is my continuous growth on this steel wire road." Zhang Shuang said that when she contacted a German supplier for the first time, she woke up her colleague at 3 a.m. because of miscalculation of the time difference. Later, her mobile phone lock screen simply turned into three countries clocks - Beijing, Hamburg and Minsk.
In order to win the contract for a high-quality supplier, she once "swept the building" in the snowy countryside of Belarus, where minus 20 degrees Celsius, and also pulled a suitcase full of 22 kilograms of samples to run on the uneven gravel road in Berlin.
When Belarusian milk was returned by the customs due to different standards, Zhang Shuang quickly "chewed" three major Chinese and foreign standards, and compared the inspection report with a magnifying glass: "Slaughtering process: GB 12694-2016!" "Cold chain transportation: ISO 23412!"
"Colleagues laughed and called me a 'human standard library'." Zhang Shuang said that it was this seriousness that made her company the largest 188bet app download freight train platform for imported European liquid milk in the country!
In recent years, Zhang Shuang and his colleagues have actively built an integrated ecosystem of "transportation, trade and production", and have spread the "Henan flavor" through the 188bet app download Express, Xinyang Green Tea, Nanyang Mushrooms, Zhongmu Garlic and other "Henan flavors". At the same time, well-known Henan brands such as Yutong Bus and Zheng Coal Machinery Equipment have also taken the train to go abroad and go to the world!
For more than ten years, these young people have kept in mind the important instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping when he visited Zhengzhou International Land Port and forged ahead. The Henan 188bet app download Express has started from staggering to leading the way, constantly refreshing the special acceleration of the Central Plains connecting the world, and becoming a powerful engine supporting Henan's high-quality development and high-level opening up.
