有幸出席“2026临沂外贸优品（新加坡）经贸对接会 #173
昨晚承蒙学强邀请，我有幸出席“2026临沂外贸优品（新加坡）经贸对接会”，与来自临沂和新加坡的企业家及各界朋友交流。#173
席间最难得的，是与一桌背景各异的新老朋友畅谈——既有在新加坡扎根的第一代华人，也有传承至第四代的新加坡华人，还有正在新加坡工作、并积极探索东盟商机的中国朋友。不同的人生经历与商业视角汇聚在一起，让这个夜晚格外丰富。
跨境合作不只关乎产品与市场。真正决定一段关系能走多远的，往往是信任、物流、安全与信誉。机会可以促成一次会面，但唯有可靠的履约、清晰的责任和长期建立的互信，才能让合作跨越地域与周期。
新加坡与临沂之间的双向联系，可以成为更广阔区域合作的起点：从中国与新加坡出发，延伸至东南亚，并进一步连接美国、欧洲及其他国际市场。重要的并非一开始就定义所有可能，而是先把正确的人、可信的能力与共同的长期视野连接起来。
感谢学强的盛情邀请，也感谢当晚每一位新老朋友的真诚交流。许多有意义的合作，往往始于一张餐桌、一场坦诚的对话，以及彼此愿意长期同行的信任。

Grateful to 学强 for inviting me to last night’s 2026 Linyi High-Quality Export Goods (Singapore) Economic & Trade Matching Conference.
One of the evening’s highlights was sharing a table with people whose connections to Singapore span remarkably different journeys—from first-generation Chinese immigrants to fourth-generation Singaporean Chinese, alongside friends from China who are working here and exploring business relationships across ASEAN.
Cross-border cooperation is about much more than products and markets. Trust, logistics, safety and credibility ultimately determine whether a relationship can endure. An opportunity may open the door, but dependable execution, clear accountability and mutual confidence are what allow partnerships to travel across borders and stand the test of time.
The bilateral relationship between Singapore and Linyi can serve as a starting point for something much broader—extending across Southeast Asia and, over time, towards the United States, Europe and other international markets. We do not need to define every possibility at the outset. What matters first is connecting the right people, credible capabilities and a shared long-term outlook.
Thank you again to 学强 and to everyone at the table for the warm and thoughtful conversations. Many meaningful collaborations begin this way: around a table, through an honest exchange, and with the trust to explore where the journey may lead.
