Chapter 55: A lifesaver

When a company is big, it is inevitable that it will be bloated, and there are many departments in the Walmart headquarters.

What's more, it was the first time to cooperate, reviewing Chen Linzhi himself and his San Francisco United Trading Company, plus signing the contract to go through the process, which dragged on from morning to night, and he didn't return to the hotel with the contract until the evening.

Mr. Dempsey was so angry last night that he didn't let Chen Linzhi pay any more money, and Chen Linzhi was happy and clean, and he no longer took the initiative to express it.

He knew in his heart that for Mr. Dempsey now, it was already a good "expression" to send the rebates on time and on point, and only with money could everything be satisfied.

Lying on the bed, I read the contract from beginning to end again.

According to Walmart's finance department, the deposit would be credited to his company's account within a week, and the liquidated damages would be set at double the down payment, or $148,000.

The total payment for the goods is 740,000 US dollars, and the deposit amount is 74,000 US dollars, if the goods are taken at the price of 14 cents for a pair of stockings, Chen Linzhi only needs to pay 280,000 US dollars for the goods, and the freight, customs duties, corporate income tax, etc. have to be calculated separately, and the extra expenses are rebates.

This will be discussed until the transaction is completed.

The most pressing issue at the moment is to get the first shipment to the U.S. before the one-month delivery date.

Dempsey said that he would use Wal-Mart's transportation channels to pull goods from the dock to the warehouse, which means that Chen Linzhi only needs to bring the two million pairs of stockings to the Los Angeles terminal on time and on schedule, and Wal-Mart has a cargo transit and diversion warehouse in California, located outside Los Angeles.

Chen Linzhi is not very clear about the freight price from Port City to Los Angeles, and it is expected that it should be similar to that of shipping to San Francisco.

An 86-cubic-meter high cube container costs about $500 to $600, and it takes more than 10 days to drive from Port City to Los Angeles by clipper.

Cargo ships can load hundreds or even thousands of containers at a time, and the specific process is probably customs declaration, sailing, arrival, customs clearance, delivery, and signing.

If you want to ask why the goods are shipped from the port city, of course, the inland has not been fully opened, and it cannot be compared with the future, and it is inconvenient in all aspects.

......

The business is negotiated, and it is worth celebrating.

Calling according to the phone number left by Gao Erudite, no one answered, calculating the time difference and finding that it was still night on the other side, Chen Linzhi waited patiently.

Fidgeting, first contact Yin Yu, ask him to help inquire, see where there are veterans in the international trade industry, ready to dig a few people to come over to help deal with trivial business.

Chen Linzhi is still a novice, he doesn't know anything about freight, customs clearance, etc., in addition to accounting, employees and other positions, he can also take it to inquire first, as for the location of the office, Chen Linzhi feels that it is not too late to find a way after returning to San Francisco, anyway, from the loading of the goods to the departure of the port, there is still about half a month to slowly prepare.

Thinking about the whole process of talking about business, it can be said that he has been deceived and cheated, saying nonsense to highly knowledgeable people, and bragging until he blushes.

Bentonville's actions are not very clean.

While fooling Mr. Dempsey, he ate, drank, gambled, and smoked, just a "gamble" word, and carried forward the knowledge of gift-giving in Arkansas, and he was still trying to pull more Wal-Mart purchasing employees into the water.

If there is other possibility to negotiate the business smoothly, how can Chen Linzhi be willing to send money out, and now lying in bed every time he sees the order contract in his hand, he will steal fun.

A few pieces of paper are equivalent to a thick stack of profits, and it is strange to be unhappy.

Pengcheng on the other side.

Gao Boxue woke up early today and was awakened by a nightmare.

He dreamed that he led a team to inspect the factory and found that there was a mistake in the order, so he arrested both the father and son and strictly investigated the loss of assets.

When he got up, he found that his back was already drenched with sweat, and Gao Boxue, who had just returned from the United States, had palpitations, and had no appetite for breakfast, and sighed one after another.

The head is groggy, after all, it is the day when the upper authorities sent someone to investigate and investigate, and it is quite difficult to say whether the lid can continue to be covered down.

As the factory director, it is common for him to build a family building for employees in the factory, how can there be no house.

At all, there is no such thing as real estate transactions, and the circulation of real estate is limited to individuals, and property rights belong to the state and collectives.

Gao polymath lives on the first floor, a separate courtyard, a large yard with vegetables and fruits, his official position is the deputy sales manager of the factory, in charge of marketing, belongs to his Lao Tzu Gao factory director specially vacated fat difference, oil and water is quite abundant.

Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, today facing investigation and research, Gao Erudite is so soulless, how can there be no ghosts in his heart, the accounts in the factory are in a mess, and they can't stand the investigation at all.

Take the purchase of machinery from the hands of the businessman, upgrading and adjusting the business is certainly one thing, on the other hand, it is not that he Lao Tzu can take advantage of it, but recently found that the goods cannot be sold, the signs are wrong, and sneakily return the money to the factory, so as not to be caught in the little tail and sit in prison.

On an empty stomach, Gao Boxue squeezed out a stiff smile, ready to accompany his own Lao Tzu to welcome the arrival of the inspection team.

Walking to the office, I was busy making tea for myself, when I unexpectedly heard the phone ring on the desk.

There was no caller ID, Gao Boxue was annoyed, thinking that the supplier was coming to collect the balance again, strode to the desk and picked up the phone, shouting: "Who!"

The town of Bentonville, USA.

Chen Linzhi looked at the street lamp outside the window, sat by the window and made a phone call, and said with a smile after hearing his voice: "Yo, Boss Gao is going home so soon? It's me, Chen Linzhi from San Francisco, who called you to talk about the goods." ”

As soon as Gao Boxue heard this, his soul began to float.

Hurriedly apologized and asked: "Mr. Chen, you have already contacted the buyer over there, and there are still goods in our factory warehouse, you can tell me how much you want, and promise to help you do it beautifully and give you the lowest price!"

Gao Erudite, who was stunned, was full of surprise in his tone.

After Chen Linzhi found out, he thought carefully, thinking about whether the price could be lower?

After pondering for a few seconds, he said to Gao Erudite on the other end of the phone:

"Well, the buyer is interested in getting the goods, and the quantity is very large, but the price needs to be discussed again, and the price they gave me is low.

You also know that these stockings can be produced anywhere, I trusted a little relationship to win the order, in vain owed the other party a big favor, not to mention, the profit margin is pitiful, if you earn three melons and two dates, this business is better not to do. ”

"The price, it's really put to the end!"

Gao Erudite gritted his teeth, after all, he didn't dare to say that he was too dead, and then he said:

"But since Mr. Chen mentioned it, we pay attention to a long stream of water, make a friend, if you settle in dollars, I will give you at least thirteen cents a pair! But there is a premise, the amount must be large, at least four or five hundred thousand pairs, otherwise it will really force me to death, Mr. Chen, you are too good at bargaining to do business......"
