Chapter 37: Peers get together

"When the company is bigger, it is inevitable that it will pay more attention to the quality of the products, otherwise selling defective products will affect the stock price of Wal-Mart.

Many peers are staring at it and waiting for it to go wrong, so the company's quality control has been very perverted recently. ”

After another tall blonde man finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to Chen Linzhi and asked, "Which company are you a salesman?" ”

When asked about his background, Chen Linzhi didn't hesitate and replied calmly:

"I opened a trading company in San Francisco, just started, you should not have heard of it, mainly from Asian factories to order goods to the United States, if you have any processing and manufacturing orders, you can also hand over to me, even if you count the shipping costs, the cost is cheaper than your company production in the United States. ”

The blonde man saw that he had the idea and hit his group of people, and said happily: "We are just salesmen, it doesn't count, and except for some high-end manufacturing, automobiles, airplanes, etc., other factories are busy moving overseas, I used to work in a TV production factory, and then I lost my job because of what you call this home appliance." ”

Chen Linzhi didn't carry this pot, and explained decisively: "I am Chinese, you should blame yourself." ”

More than once, he has been regarded as himself, because the manufacturing industry has been in the limelight in recent years.

From automobiles, home appliances, and semiconductors to all kinds of daily necessities produced in Southeast Asia's low-cost areas, all walks of life in the United States are full of businessmen, who take advantage of the trade advantages they gained after the war to turn around and use the United States, the owner, as a dumping ground.

For a time, the Americans, who were hit by the manufacturing industry, hated the country and were hostile, feeling that they had caused them to lose their jobs and reduce their incomes.

It was in this context that the prototype of the Plaza Accord was brewed by Washington and has not yet been signed.

Some groups in Washington, D.C., on the east coast, are ready to pull in the old allies, find an opportunity to talk to this "Asian little brother", talk about life and ideals, and show their fists by the way, so that the manufacturer should not go too far.

Relying on the hard fists, it is the norm for the United States to suppress trade opponents, and others may think it is strange, but Chen Linzhi has long been surprised and deeply touched.

The so-called trade freedom and fair trade are words that people only talk about when they are beneficial to the United States, and they are nothing more than the word "interests."

Knowing that Chen Linzhi was not himself, the four people in front of him more or less had a good look at Chen Linzhi.

Especially after Chen Linzhi said that he mainly sells clothing and toy products, there is no direct conflict of interest with them, so this group of people acquiesced to his integration and continued to talk about the topic of supply.

The young man with freckles on his face suddenly asked a digression.

He introduced himself as Matthew Green, pointed to the Jaguar in front of the hotel, and said, "Is this your car? It looks cool, I just bought a Buick, the space is quite large, my wife gave birth last month, the space in the car is very important." ”

Chen Linzhi's expensive new clothes are suitable for accompanying the bosses to talk about business, and getting together with the few people in front of him looks a little eye-catching.

After listening, Chen Linzhi shook his head and smiled: "I have a Mercedes-Benz 500SEL in San Francisco, this Jaguar is a car I rented in Little Rock, sixty-five dollars a day, if anyone wants to go to Little Rock by then, I can take you back together, just exchange skills to talk about business with Wal-Mart, I want to win bigger orders this time, everyone wants to become a trading partner with Wal-Mart, doesn't it?

Speaking of half-truths, the foundation is a little worse, but the confidence cannot be lost.

finally had the opportunity to get in touch with knowledge other than books, Chen Linzhi was busy digging around the bush to find out the news, and it was a matter of whether the business could be done, so he couldn't help but care.

If there is too much pressure on the goods, the speed of payment is too slow, with his strength will undoubtedly be unbearable, then it has to be considered in the long run, and most of the suppliers will not agree to owe the balance all the time.

Fortunately.

Matthew Green, who had freckles on his face, seemed to treat Chen Linzhi as a small boss, and it was not a secret, so he told:

"Generally, after taking the goods, you can pay for the goods within a quarter, and these large companies are almost like this, even if they deposit the money in the bank to earn interest, they are not willing to pay us as soon as possible.

The reason why Wal-Mart has been able to develop so fast is also due to the financial support of our suppliers, which presses the funds to expand first, and at the same time opens new stores and continues to pay the balance payment three months ago, so the cycle continues. ”

The other side.

There was a short and fat man in a suit and glasses, who lifted his pants up without any image, and agreed with his mouth: "That's right, but after all, it's a big company, and its reputation is very secure, Wal-Mart squeezes us a lot of profits, but we can still make money from each other, and the profit of a single piece is less, but it sells more." ”

Chen Linzhi felt that he had learned, and he had the urge to take notes in a small notebook.

In the future, supermarkets will be everywhere, and the main types of products will be varied, and if there is no supermarket in any mall, business will probably not be much better.

However, in this era, supermarkets are mainly concentrated in major cities, and are slowly expanding to smaller cities with larger populations, and have a strong impact on the traditional retail industry, which is still a new thing.

If the payment is only pressed for three months, and the payment is made on time when it is due, there should be no problem in Chen Linzhi's opinion.

Judging from the surplus of labor on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, even if you only pay a deposit and postpone the payment for half a year or even a year, there may be factories rushing to do it.

Think about it from a different angle.

He keenly found that this also gave him room to operate, and he could take the money to expand the scale first, and take advantage of some small advantages in funds like Wal-Mart.

The only premise is that the receiver must pay the balance on time, so that the capital chain can be smoothly transferred, which has the opportunity to expand the business rapidly in the shortest possible time.

I have this idea for now.

If you don't get the order, the idea becomes a pipe dream.

After chatting with Chen Linzhi, the four in front of them felt that he was not bad, and Chen Linzhi took the initiative to say that he had just heard them talking about having dinner in the evening, and if he helped him introduce people from Wal-Mart's purchasing department, he could pay for a treat and find a better restaurant in the local area.

Several white salesmen looked at each other and agreed, they are not direct competitors anyway, it doesn't matter if there is one more person or one less person, it is undoubtedly better to save money and eat and drink for nothing.

Blonde and blue-eyed, the former TV company is named Roger Sampras, who now works for the NestlΓ© Group.

Roger Sampras recommended a restaurant that was more famous in the local area, and Chen Linzhi didn't care, so he readily agreed.

He is called spending a small amount of money to do big things, which is better than running around like a headless fly by himself, and he is more likely to receive orders from Wal-Mart, which is worth it.

The arrangement of the restaurant is solved first, the time is still early, about to play Texas Hold'em in the hotel rest area, take chips as money, small gambling pleasure, win or lose to death but hundreds of dollars, just pass the time.

During this time, Roger suggested where to find the two girls, so that no one would stir up the atmosphere during the meal.

Chen Linzhi thought to himself whether this was the legendary "dinner", and enthusiastically proposed: "I saw a strip club on the way here, wouldn't it be too deliberate to hire someone from it?

"How can it be embarrassing, the more open the better, anyway, it's not about falling in love, happy is the most important thing. ”

Roger Sampras looked like a veteran of flowers, extremely calm.

Skillfully dealing cards, biting a Marlboro in his mouth, swallowing the clouds, adding: "How about finding a woman to share the money equally, say it in advance, whoever can get the order depends on their ability, the opportunity is equal, don't complain about spending money in vain afterwards......"
