Chapter 142: Photos are also sold for money
Not only Evans was so excited that he almost fainted, but a few days later, when Evans came to the 23rd branch factory to inform Zhuang Jianye of the news in person, even if he was a human being in two lives, he felt that his blood pressure was soaring.
Fifteen models, 1,000 each, is 15,000 model airplanes, which is $3 million at $200 per factory.
This is still a preliminary confirmed order, and there will be more to follow, you must know that Evans is not an ordinary relationship, the old man Lindemann with a fierce face, crutches, and a rough voice is actually a director of the United States Army Air Corps Association, which is a subsidiary of the National Veterans Association.
As the predecessor of the U.S. Air Force, these veterans of the U.S. Army Air Corps fought bloody battles against the Axis powers in World War II, and retired one after another after the war.
In order to let the young people of the United States remember the history of their bloody battles, the American Veterans Association raised funds to build or renovate more than 600 World War II memorials in the United States.
With its huge influence, only a few simple gatherings were held, and those veterans who had already entered the political and business circles of the United States donated generously, and all kinds of old World War II planes were piled up in the association, and there were even many good guys who could fly into the sky when they sat on them.
What they lack is a teaching aid model that can explain the principles to children, and can let people understand the structure and performance structure of the aircraft, so that more people, especially children, love aviation.
After all, children can see real planes, but it is not realistic to explain to real planes, all kinds of disassembly, all kinds of drilling holes themselves are individual work, in case a child has a problem during the period, it is not good.
For this reason, Lindemann and others approached the manufacturer that made those World War II aircraft back then, hoping that they could customize a batch of such teaching aid models for the association.
Those airports can be done, the problem is not to mention the trouble, and there is not much profit, not to mention the top regular aircraft factories, real planes can't be built, and model machines are made, it's just a joke.
As a result, several major aviation factories took out a few model machines in stock, and sent Lindemann and others out like Hanako in the name of donation.
Just when Lindeman and the others felt that this matter might not be done, and were ready to put it on hold for the time being, and wait for it to be slowly resolved later, Evans knocked on Lindeman's door in a daze, and the whole thing became logical.
Looking at Evans sitting opposite, Zhuang Jianye really didn't know what to say, this product was not as simple as being kissed by an angel sister, it was estimated that it was turned by several angel sisters.
I was so lucky that I couldn't help but explode.
Of course, Zhuang Jianye can only explode in his heart, because he is also very lucky, Ning Xiaodong did not exchange foreign exchange in the Special Administrative Region smoothly, there is no way to 500,000 US dollars, the amount is too big, it is not possible to do it in a moment and a half, the two are watching, Evans is really three million US dollars smashed down, well, he was also wheeled by the angel sister.
"That's the way it is, now I want to know when you'll be able to deliver the goods to me?" Evans is now confident, sunny, full of bright and gentle smiles, he can no longer see the appearance of the homeless man at the beginning, and his speech is more direct and to the point, obviously months of sales have completely honed him.
Zhuang Jianye hesitated: "This is more troublesome, you know, the scale of our production line is not large, and many processes are more complicated, and it is relatively slow to do, so do you think it will take a year and a half?"
"En~~" Evans lowered his chin and groaned: "It's a bit long, but if you explain it well, the Army Aviation Association should be acceptable, but you'd better take photos of these models, eh...... It's the kind of photos that you put in the model to make a catalog, and the old guys love your pictures. ”
"This ......"
"I know your photographers don't have a lot to create, so I pay $1 per photo, how about that?"
Zhuang Jianye is crazy with happiness in his heart, the photos can be sold for money, Ju Tao, this kid can't listen to the beauty of snot bubbles, forehead...... seems to have forgotten, this product has no concept of money, and it is estimated that his father will have a snot bubble.
Seeing Zhuang Jianye frowning and not speaking, Evans thought he was not satisfied with his price, and it was also said that in the United States, which kind of photography is not expensive, 1 dollar is to buy a model photo comparable to aerial photography, that is not burying people, if Evans is in the United States, he will definitely be beaten out, so he thought about it, gritted his teeth, and said generously: "2 dollars, no more!"
When Zhuang Jianye heard that it was $2, he also came back to his senses, he was a chicken thief, and he rose by $1, so he knew that Evans was picking up cheap goods, so he didn't want to say directly: "$6." ”
"It's too expensive!"
"You know, how difficult it is for us to take a set of model photos, lighting, props, photography ......"
"$3, Zhuang, can only come out so much. Evans had a final showdown, and Zhuang Jianye accepted it when he saw it, and then the two talked about the details of the signing, and Evans proposed to meet the photographer.
Zhuang Jianye leaned back in his chair and thought for a while, then called the clerk next door over and asked him to call Ju Tao over.
......
Master Ju has not had a very good time in the past few months, since he promised Zhuang Jianye to come to the 23rd branch factory to bring a few apprentices, Master Ju felt unsure, but one day he suddenly broke into his son's studio, and an old glass heart was completely broken.
I thought that my son was secretly dating the girl inside, but I thought that I was holding a camera to shoot various models of various kinds, and then Master Ju learned that his son's true love was to take pictures, and Master Ju almost collapsed.
chased Ju Tao half of the factory with a stick, and finally if Ju Tao hadn't rushed into Zhuang Jianye's office, he would have broken his son's leg.
So the idea of letting his son go home came up again, especially when the main factory took the 23rd branch as a pilot, and then the 23rd branch was out of stock to the sixth branch, Master Ju's idea was even stronger.
In those days, the martial arts faction of several branch factories was very powerful, right? Grabbing the hair of the factory director and secretary, they dared to beat them, what was the result? Did you have a good fruit to eat?
Which Cheng wanted to talk bitterly for a long time, his son didn't listen, he simply hid in Zhuang Jianye's house with the camera, Master Ju was worried, crazy, scratching his hair, and wanted to pull his son's neck and ask if he was his father or the camera.
There was no way, he could only change his strategy, find Zhuang Jianye, and say that he wanted to get his son back, but Zhuang Jianye was not there a few times, this time I heard that Zhuang Jianye came back from a business trip, Master Ju came to the twenty-third branch factory in advance, and perfunctorily instructed a few stupid apprentices a few words, and waited for Zhuang Jianye.
Finally waiting for the exact news, Master Ju put down his work, came out of the workshop, went straight to the factory director's office, just arrived at the door, still thinking about the wording, he heard a burst of bird language inside, did not understand a word, after a while, Zhuang Jianye's voice came: "Evans said, your photos are very good, he is willing to buy your photos for 3 dollars each." ”
