Chapter 50: Blowing the Cow into the Sky
The other side of the strait is still in the period of planned economy, and commodity prices cannot be judged by common sense, and the prices of large imported items such as automobiles are ridiculously high.
The prices of all kinds of household appliances are also amazing, which is enough to make the so-called "10,000 yuan households" feel distressed and sigh.
Gao Boxue and Professor Wang have just arrived, and they can't change their old ideas for a while.
It is difficult for them to imagine how low the price of cars is in the United States, so they naturally looked at the young Chen Linzhi invisibly and felt that he was not simple.
The same.
Chen Linzhi didn't find out the bottom of the two of them, and always felt that he had the ability to go abroad and come to San Francisco to do business in these years, and he must be quite powerful.
They think that each other is powerful, so they are extremely polite when shaking hands and talking, whether it is Chen Linzhi or Gao Erudite, they are worried that the etiquette is not enough to snub each other.
Introducing yourself in this case is inevitably exaggerating the facts a little.
Chen Linzhi was afraid of missing the opportunity, so he asked the two of them to get in the car and drive in person, and specially explained:
"This friend of mine doesn't know how to drive, otherwise I should have sent you directly to my company just now, I snubbed you, I'm really sorry to wait so long. I just bought a two-story office building in the downtown pyramid building, the tallest one of more than 200 meters, and it is estimated that it will be about three months before I can move in.
Do you want to find a place to have coffee, or go to my friend's for a cup of tea? Miss Yu Luoqi Yu, the helmsman of the North American White Gang, has you heard of it, her main hall is nearby, if we can negotiate a business, it is estimated that we will have to borrow her freighter fleet to transport it over. β
What does it mean to blow a cow into the sky?
That's it.
Chen Linzhi also wants to be more reliable, but unfortunately his own strength is not enough, and it is difficult to win cooperation opportunities once he is exposed.
He knew that most businessmen were snobbish, so he had no choice but to brag nonsense, slap his swollen face and pretend to be fat.
In just a few sentences, he mentioned a few pieces of information that Chen Linzhi deliberately wanted them to misunderstand.
Low-key is what a rich man should do, he is only afraid of being guessed at the moment that he does not have much money in his hand, and his career has just started, so he does not hesitate to move out of the big Buddha of Yu Luoqi to help support the faΓ§ade, anyway, she doesn't know.
Yin Yu wanted to laugh when he heard this, but he was worried about revealing his stuffing, so he didn't dismantle the stage, but helped to continue to boast:
"Mr. Chen's business is very large, just went to Wal-Mart some time ago to talk about business, to win the share of supply, Wal-Mart has opened hundreds of supermarkets in the United States, the daily turnover is astronomical, and the boss has become the richest man in the world.
If you want to sell goods, it is absolutely right to come to Mr. Chen, it just so happens that you need to leave out the suppliers in Brazil and Mexico, whose product prices are high and the freight is not cheap. β
Sitting in the back seat of a spacious luxury car, Gao Erudite was dizzy.
Secretly looked at the center console, touched the leather seats with his hands, and secretly thought that if he brought this car back to China, it was estimated that it could be sold for about a million.
was sung and harmonized by Chen Linzhi and Yin Yu, who is not only the North American headquarters, but also the richest man in the world, who is highly knowledgeable and does not see much in the world, and is even more dizzy at the moment, thinking that the United States is different, and there are rich people everywhere.
Afraid of being looked down upon, Gao Erudite pretends to be calm.
took out a pack of cigarettes, distributed them to the two people in the front row, and said:
"Our business is not as good as Mr. Chen's, it's just a small factory, and my dad and I work for the country to earn some hard-earned money.
In the second half of last year, the factory just invested millions of dollars to buy a batch of new machines, mainly producing stockings, in addition to garment factories and leather goods factories. β
There is also Chen Linzhi who pretends to be calm.
He drove to the city, planning to find a shop near Union Square for a while, and if the conversation went well, he happened to go to the neighborhood for lunch.
Continuing the:
Some friends in the port city are very concerned about the inland market, and I have always wanted to go, but the company has a lot of things to do, and I can't find an opportunity.
Look at the recent arrival of many businessmen here, the economy has begun to revitalize, so many people, the market is definitely not small, I will go to inspect in the future, and I have to help Boss Gao lead the way. β
"Of course, as long as Mr. Chen goes, I will be on call and set up a table of local specialties for you to taste. β
Gao Erudite was bluffed, and he really treated Chen Linzhi as a big boss.
is a person in his teens, and in the face of Chen Linzhi, he is convinced by Mr. Chen.
After Gao Erudite finished politely, he continued:
"Shekou has developed very well in recent years, and many foreign-funded enterprises have been visited, and companies from all over the country have brought goods to exhibitions, organized overseas businessmen to visit and get goods, and the sales volume is quite considerable.
Our company's stockings are not worried about selling, this time we came to find other sales channels, and strive to continue to expand the output, so that Americans can realize that the quality of our products must be guaranteed, and the price is lower than the international level.
I am familiar with the company in Shekou, and if Mr. Chen needs any goods in the future, just say hello to me, and I will guarantee to help you do it beautifully, and ship it directly to sell. β
Gao Xuexue, who wants to grasp the life-saving straw and is eager to sell the stockings piled up in the warehouse, is anxious between words.
He brought with him many other kinds of goods this time, so that he would not hang himself from a tree, and thought that even if no one asked for stockings, it would be good to find some other way to sell them, and that he could make money to fill the gap in the accounts of the factory.
Chen Linzhi wondered if he was just stockings, how could there be any international level price?
Knowing that their factory mainly produces these, it happened to be able to sell them to Wal-Mart, and asked: "It's the sample stockings I just brought, right, I haven't had time to take a closer look at the quality, how much does a pair cost?"
Gao Boxue decisively told: "Eight cents, converted into US dollars, about 20 cents, I see that the mall sells 70 or 80 cents a pair, the quality is not as good as our products, you take the goods from us, the profit is absolutely great." β
Chen Linzhi didn't know what the specific market was, so he was not in a hurry to bargain.
His career has just started, including how much freight is paid, etc., and he needs to understand it before he can officially take over the job, so as not to waste time and energy in vain.
Chen Linzhi looked ahead, pretended to understand the market, and said:
"The price of shipping is high, and you still need to pay taxes for customs clearance in the United States, and the other side has not joined the WTO, and the tariffs are higher than those imported from other places, so it is difficult for me to make money from your offer."
How is the local market, I sent someone over to ask it clearly, you don't bully me for being a patriotic Chinese, just ask for a price, if the quality of the thing is good, the price is appropriate, and the supply is easy to discuss. β
β...... The quantity is less than a price, and the amount of goods is more than a price, you inquire first, how dare I get you, if you really want to get the goods, I promise to give you the lowest price. β
Compared with earning more and earning less, Gao Erudite just wants to clear the inventory as soon as possible, how can he boldly push away the "big customer", leaving enough room for negotiation between the words.
Don't talk about eight cents, even if it's five cents, he will agree to sell.
It's a pity that Chen Linzhi didn't dare to take orders indiscriminately, changed the topic to explore other things, and didn't mention the price of stockings again.
When he came to the bustling Union Square, Chen Linzhi parked the car and led Gao Boxue and Professor Wang to a cafΓ©, where they each ordered a drink and sat and chatted.
To be honest, Chen Linzhi really wants to return to China for development.
All walks of life in the United States have long been carved up, except for the Internet and IT industries, it is not easy to make quick money, and the number of opportunities is far less than that on the other side of the ocean, which is developing rapidly.
However, after learning from Gao Boxue's mouth, there are many restrictions on starting a business nowadays, and Chen Linzhi retreated, thinking that it might be more appropriate to save more money here, and then go back after the exchange rate control is lifted and the renminbi depreciates.
In addition, he found an important piece of information.
Although labor and raw materials on the other side of the ocean are cheap, due to exchange rate control, the price of goods is higher than expected, which means that the market competitiveness of goods on the other side of the ocean may not be so obvious.
On the contrary, it sells goods from abroad to the other side, and the profits are extremely high, and it is completely a seller's market.
