Chapter 129: People are more popular than dead people
The price of $129 a set is not cheap for Americans, so Gordon thought about it for a long time before asking, "Mr. Li, how much do I need to order to have an additional discount?"
Li Weidong stretched out two fingers and said, "If you order more than 20,000 sets at one time, I can give you a 3% discount." β
Gordon nodded, reached into his pocket, pulled a calculator out of his pocket, and began to calculate.
After a moment, Gordon raised his head and said, "Mr. Li, I can purchase 20,000 sets of wool car cushions, and another 20,000 front seat cushions. β
20,000 sets of wool car cushions, worth 2.58 million US dollars, and 20,000 front seat cushions are 780,000 US dollars, and the two add up to 3.36 million US dollars, including a 3% discount, there are also 3.259 million US dollars.
"That's more than three million dollars?" The exhibitors who sold linen car cushions around looked at Li Weidong with envious, jealous and hateful expressions.
Look at yourself, a set of linen car cushions has not been sold, and then look at others, all of a sudden it is a big order of more than three million US dollars, which is really more popular than people!
Ma Dexing has also quietly come up, at this time he is the most excited person on the scene, this time more than 3 million US dollars, but there is no Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation to intervene, so the amount of foreign exchange earned from exports, will be recorded in Ma Dexing here, this is an extremely bright achievement, maybe Ma Dexing can be promoted by half a level.
"Lao Zhang, Lao Wang, Lao Hu, have you seen it? An order of more than three million US dollars! Haha......" Ma Dexing couldn't help but show off.
"Congratulations......" Lao Zhangpi popped out two words without smiling.
For foreign trade officials in other provinces, their mood is indeed very bad, they thought that they copied a linen car cushion and could come to the Canton Fair to make a lot of foreign exchange, but they didn't expect that foreign businessmen didn't want goods at all.
And the person who was plagiarized by them still made a lot of more than three million dollars, and in such a comparison, they tried their best to plagiarize, but it became a joke.
If this matter gets out in the future, those who don't think it's too big to see the excitement will say, you can't make money by copying other people's, how embarrassing it is!
Li Weidong was not satisfied with the order of more than 3 million US dollars.
"Mr. Gordon, I think you can order a few more of these wool car cushions. Li Weidong said.
Gordon shook his head: "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, this is a new product after all, and the price is not cheap, I can't guarantee that this thing will sell very well in the United States." β
Li Weidong smiled politely, and then said, "Mr. Gordon, have you forgotten the Canadian market?"
Gordon was slightly stunned, and then showed a sudden realization: "Yes, and Canada!"
As far as the retail industry is concerned, the U.S. and Canada can be seen as one market, and what is available in the U.S. retail market, Canada also has it.
Before the linen car cushion, Gordon did not consider the Canadian market, after all, Canada is located in the north, the temperature is relatively low, there is no need for linen car cushions.
Wool car cushions are different, Canadian winters are much colder than those in the United States, and wool car cushions are more marketable.
Although Canada's population is not as large as that of the United States, there are more than 26 million, and Canadians have a high income and can afford woolen car cushions.
An old buyer like Gordon can instantly understand this without Li Weidong explaining more. A market of 26 million people, although far less than the 240 million people in the United States, is 26 million people living in cold regions, and each of them is a potential customer for wool car cushions.
"Mr. Li, I will buy another 5,000 sets of cushions and 5,000 cushions for the front seats. Gordon spoke.
The order rose by a quarter, that is, more than 800,000 US dollars, and the original transaction amount of 3.25 million exceeded 4 million in an instant!
Secretary General Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief, he was still very worried that this high price would scare away foreign businessmen, but he did not expect that foreign businessmen not only did not run, but also ordered more than 800,000 US dollars of goods.
Ma Dexing took out a calculator and pressed it with a snap, and after a while, he raised his head and said excitedly: "It's not a fraction, 4.07 million US dollars!"
Beside him, foreign trade officials from several other provinces heard this, and their expressions twitched.
"What's the situation, wasn't it still more than $3 million just now? Why did it suddenly become more than $4 million?"
"Are Americans all wronged? That sales rep just said a word and bought an extra million dollars of goods?"
"What did that young man say? Could it be that he was chanting some kind of mantra, or bowing his head to a foreign businessman?"
"I seem to be in favor of that sales rep talking about Canada and other things, mentioning Canada to Americans, and selling more?"
"In a word, selling more than a million dollars of goods is more powerful than a thousand dollars!"
Under the watchful eye, Li Weidong and Gordon signed the contract of more than $4 million.
Of course, this so-called attention is more of a sour gaze.
......
After Gordon left, except for Ma Dexing's raised eyebrows, almost everyone looked dejected.
The big customers who finally waited for it, not to mention that a thing was not sold, but to watch the peers next door make a lot of money, so unwilling!
Lao Zhang walked to the front of the booth and personally touched the sample of the wool car cushion with his hand.
"Why is it so soft? you're importing wool, aren't you?" asked Lao Zhang.
"Lao Zhang, don't move, I'm breaking it for us!" Ma Dexing hurriedly stopped, he was afraid that Lao Zhang would come to steal the teacher again.
"It's okay, this is meant to be a sample. Li Weidong smiled disappreliantly, and then said: "This leader, my thing is domestic wool, that is, the sheep of Inner Mongolia. β
"Director Li, my surname is Zhang, and I am from the Department of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation of X Province. Lao Zhang first introduced himself, and then said: "I have also seen the sheep shearing material of the sheep in Inner Mongolia, but it is not so soft, and the wool is not so delicate." β
"That's the case, our factory has some special treatment for sheep shearling. Li Weidong replied.
"What is the treatment?" asked Lao Zhang.
"Don't tell him, or he'll come to copy our products again!" Ma Dexing said immediately.
Lao Zhang suddenly looked embarrassed, after all, it is indeed a fact to plagiarize linen car cushions.
"Director Ma, this is not a secret, about the processing technology of wool materials, you can ask any woolen mill, and we don't need to hide it. β
After Li Weidong finished speaking, he looked at Lao Zhang and said: "The reason why our sheep shearing material is so soft is mainly because of the use of softener. β
"It turns out that a softener was used!" Lao Zhang nodded suddenly, and secretly said in his heart that after he went back, he quickly asked the textile factories in the province to copy it.
At this time, another voice sounded from the side, speaking from Lao Hu, a foreign trade official from a certain province:
"I used to be in charge of textiles, so I know a little bit about this industry, and if you use softener alone, although you can make the cashmere soft, you can't reach this level. It seems that Director Li still left us a hand!"
Hearing this, Ma Dexing breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that Li Weidong still had something to hide, so there was no need to worry about other provinces stealing teachers again.
Li Weidong opened his mouth and said: "This leader, you really misunderstood me, I didn't hide it at all, there are only a few kinds of processing processes for this wool product, they are all things on the surface, and I can't hide it if I want to!"
The reason why our cashmere is softer and the wool is smoother is mainly due to the use of a new type of softener. This softener adopts foreign advanced production technology, so the softening effect is much better than other domestic softeners. Domestic softeners cannot achieve this effect. β
"It turned out to be a softener imported from abroad, no wonder your wool car cushion is so soft!" Lao Hu nodded suddenly, and then looked at Ma Dexing next to him, looking like he wanted to say something.
Lao Hu obviously wanted to ask where to buy this new type of softener, but when he saw that Ma Dexing was still here, he was embarrassed to speak.
On the contrary, it was the cheeky old cheeky skin, Tian shamelessly asked, "Where can I buy this new type of softener?"
"If you want to buy it, find a way to go by yourself!" Ma Dexing grabbed Li Weidong and said, "Director Li, don't pay attention to them, didn't you say you wanted to buy a car last time, it just so happened that people from Dongdao Port Customs also came to the Canton Fair, I will take you to meet him, and it will be convenient to find him to pick up the car directly when the time comes." β
"Hey, don't go, you haven't told me yet, where to buy the softener!" continued the cheeky old Zhang.
"Okay, Lao Zhang, don't call, don't you see? Lao Ma doesn't want you to steal the teacher. Lao Hu said.
"Stingy ghost! Hide everything!" Lao Zhang pouted: "I've earned four million dollars, I can't share my points!"
"Lao Zhang, if the products in your province are copied by others, and they are brought to the Canton Fair to grab orders from you, you will not give people a good look. Lao Hu said indifferently.
Lao Zhang lowered his voice and said: "I think that the market for this wool car cushion is bigger than the previous linen car cushion, and you can bear to give up so much foreign exchange?"
"How can you not have foreign exchange! But if you inquire about the news, you will also score a time, right? Don't you see the old horse staring at you, at this time you go to ask about the new type of softener, people will definitely not tell you!"
Lao Hu paused in his voice, and then said: "Wait a little later, when Lao Ma is not there, let's go and ask that Director Li where to buy a new type of softener." I think that Director Li is quite young, he is a scheming person, let's talk a little clichΓ©, and he still doesn't tell us everything he knows!"
