Chapter 61: Bragging and Not Drafting
Sister Deng is indeed good to Gao Mu.
"Sister Deng, this is all a small business, isn't it okay for you to do this?"
"What is good or bad, I say good is good. ”
"This ......"
"Do you remember that Japanese guest?"
"Well, you mean Qing Shuihao, of course I remember, how did you talk about his list, do you have any hope of winning it?"
Gao Mu nodded, I don't know why the other party suddenly mentioned Qing Shui Hao, a Japanese.
"Well, just yesterday, my factory has signed a contract of intent with him. If nothing else, the first deliveries will begin after the Lunar New Year. Do you know? This is a long-term order, Shimizu said, as long as the quality of the first container meets the requirements, then there will be an order for one container every month. ”
The smiling chrysanthemums on Sister Deng's face bloomed, and she was indeed happy.
She picks up sales in the market, and her husband manages production in the factory, although the business is not bad, but it is the first time that a long-term foreign trade order like Qing Shui Hao has been received.
And the profit of this list is not bad, and it will bring great benefits to their business.
Because of this list, her status in front of her husband has improved a lot, and the aura of the proprietress is much stronger than before.
"Yes. I didn't see it, Qing Shui Hao is still a big boss. One container a month, even if it is a 20-foot standard container, this amount is very good in a year. Gao Mu didn't expect that with a small favor at will, the fox contributed to such a large foreign trade order: "It seems that Mr. Shimizu's company has a high market share in the Japanese market!"
The number of stationery in a standard cabinet is not small, and a container can be imported in a month, which is enough to show the sales capacity of Shimizu Hao Company, and the corresponding market share is naturally.
"You still underestimate him, my husband talked to him, and their company not only does business in Japan, but also has a big business in Southeast Asia. ”
Sister Deng has always been very envious of these people who do international trade, her family's business is basically in the proportion of domestic and foreign business, and the scale of foreign business is not very large.
"What do you mean, he imports from you to Japan, and then changes the packaging and manufacturing site, and exports it to the Southeast Asian market. ”
Gao Mu quickly understood the routine.
At the turn of the century, in Southeast Asia and even in China, things made in Japan were much more popular than things made in China.
Even after a decade or twenty, this distorted concept of consumption will still exist, even if many things are obviously produced domestically, as long as you go around Japan and hang up their brand, the value will often rise a lot.
Obviously the stationery produced in China, I first went to Japan, and then changed to the brand of Shimizu Hao Company, and then made a lot of money in Southeast Asia, where Japanese goods were exported.
This abacus is really good.
However, this is also something that cannot be helped, and now Japan is much more powerful than China in terms of economy, and its reputation in international trade is much greater than that of China.
At this time, domestic products were often labeled as inferior quality, while Japanese products were the opposite, which was a guarantee of superior quality.
Therefore, in the market of Southeast Asia, Chinese products cannot compete in terms of quality reputation, and they cannot compare with Japanese products in terms of price.
Just like Shimizu Hao, the stationery they exported in the past was essentially domestically produced, but because of the Japanese character packaging, it immediately became a high-quality product, and the price also turned upside down.
A good-looking skin can always sell for a better price.
"If you want me to say, they are not afraid of trouble, so why should they go to Japan first, and then go to the market in Southeast Asia. Wouldn't it be better for us to order the package directly and serve him in one stop? At least he can save an extra amount of sea freight and customs duties, right?"
Although Sister Deng has been in business for many years, after all, her own cultural level is low, and there are some things that she can't touch.
"Sister, you're mistaken. It's not that Qing Shui Hao didn't think of this, and it's not that he doesn't want to save this cost of shipping and customs duties. It's this money, he has to come out. Of course, the wool is out of the sheep, and the final extra cost will still be paid by consumers in the market. ”
Gao Mu had a little contact with international trade in his previous life, and he had also dealt with the Japanese, so he knew some of the bends and curves in it.
"Ah, why?"
Sister Deng asked curiously.
"Because he has to take such a step, if he goes directly from China, he can't handle the product as Japanese. In that case, he will make a lot less money. If your goods travel to Japan and change to a new set of packaging locally, they can be sold at a high price as soon as the formalities are gone. And the sea freight and tariffs you talked about, etc., in the face of extra profits, are simply pediatrics. ”
Gao Mu sat on a small stool and muttered with Sister Deng.
Although these are his guesses, eight or nine will not be far from ten.
"So that's the case, you said that these little Japan are really ghostly, and the devils are really not in vain. ”
After listening to Gao Mu's analysis, Sister Deng was a little depressed, feeling that she had made a lot less, and the feeling of making a lot of money before no longer existed.
"People here make reasonable use of loopholes in the rules, no way, who told you that you don't have sales channels in the Southeast Asian market? But even if you have, with the trade environment in the past few years, it is difficult to do. ”
Gao Mu said comfortingly, this is caused by the general environment, and it is an indisputable fact that Japan is the most popular in Asia.
Although a square deal was made by the American godfather a few years ago, it seems to have stagnated in recent years.
But the advantages he had accumulated over Asian countries were too great, and it was difficult to compete with them, even if it was the Four Little Tigers.
This is still on the basic low-end products, in the high-tech, high-quality high-end industry, Japan's advantages are more obvious.
There is still a long way to go if the country wants to catch up.
Moreover, the road is long and difficult.
Gao Mu is very thoughtful in trade, both at home and abroad, but now he is more of a fantasy, and it is difficult for a clever woman to blow without rice.
Of course, he also hopes that his reborn golden finger can help China develop faster in some aspects, and expand the reputation and scale of Chinese products in a shorter period of time in terms of commodity trading and consumption.
But this is not a trivial matter, and it takes a lot of time, money and energy to achieve it.
"Xiao Gao, why did I suddenly find out that you also know a lot about international trade. Aren't you a high school student who hasn't taken the college entrance exam? Where did you learn all these things?"
Sister Deng suddenly reacted and asked in surprise.
With Gao Mu's age and experience, it is impossible to know these things, and the last time she could speak Japanese, she was already surprised, and today she is even involved in international trade.
The young man in front of him was really surprised, and the more he looked at it, the more unfathomable he felt.
"I'm just half a bucket of water, and I know a little bit of fur, it's all from a messy book, so don't take it seriously!"
"What kind of messy books can give you this knowledge, you tell me too, and I'll go buy a few too. ”
glared at Gao Mu, this is too fake.
"Sister Deng, let's not talk about this, it's too far away from us. Let's take care of what is in front of us first, you see these things I want, when will they be prepared for me, I will have other things in a while. ”
The peak period of the market has passed, and the customers who inquired at the stalls are temporarily in a vacuum.
"This is very fast, Xiao Yang, you go and call the big brother in the factory, and ask them to prepare according to the quantity on this list, and send it over neatly. ”
Sister Deng had already marked the item number and quantity of the goods that Gao Mu needed on the sales list, and directly instructed the little girl to arrange it.
"Okay. ”
The girl named Xiaoyang was not very old, nodded in a milky voice, took the list in Sister Deng's hand, walked to the corner and began to call the factory.
"You want a lot of things this time, I don't have this much stock here, so I can only go to the factory to get it. ”
After Sister Deng finished explaining Xiao Yang, she turned around and explained to Gao Mu.
"That's right, the BMX I borrowed from you last time was just ready to be returned to you. It's just that you have to trouble the master in the factory, and you have to help me get to the station when the time comes. ”
Gao Mu smoothly pulled the BMX cart that was pulled away from here last time into the stall and handed it to Sister Deng.
"What's the matter with you, didn't you say I'd give it to you? Why didn't you bring it back without fear of getting tired? ”
Sister Deng glared at Gao Mu reproachfully.
"How much weight can an empty car have, and besides, except for the time spent in the car, the wheels are rolling on the ground, where you may get tired. ”
Gao Mu smiled, and returned the car just easily.
"Hey, I'm too lazy to bother with you. Sister Deng shook her head helplessly: "By the way, just now you said that there is something else, what is it, do you need help?"
"Hey, don't say it, I really need your help. Gao Mu's eyes lit up: "That's the case, in addition to getting the goods from you this time, I'm also going to get some jewelry to go back, try it to see if it's good to sell?"
"Jewelry, what jewelry?"
"It's just what kind of rubber bands girls like, hairpins and other gadgets. ”
This suggestion was given by Gao Lu to Gao Mu, who felt that Gao Mu could sell stationery among the student group, and she could also sell trinkets among female classmates more accurately.
"Oh, are you going to start making women's money?" Sister Deng smiled: "Or are you actually chasing female classmates, and you are going to buy a few things to please others?"
"It's just about making money for women. The corners of Gao Mu's mouth grinned: "I don't have a girlfriend, I can't send it if I want to? ”
"Heh, it's not a small tone. Tell me what you're going to give when you chase girls?"
"Of course, it's to send planes, yachts, brand-name bags, and other things. No matter how bad it is, you have to send a necklace jewelry with real money!"
Gao Mu put on a cool and bombarded style, and boasted unashamedly.
"Hahaha, I think, you don't need to send these things, as long as you have this mouth, with your bragging mouth and not making drafts, no girl can chase it!"
"Be humble, be humble!"
Gao Mu continued.
"Auntie, the phone rang, and the factory said that it would notify us when it was ready. ”
Xiao Yang, who made a call, walked to the two of them and said crisply.
"Well, good. Sister Deng nodded, and then said to Gao Mu: "Don't you want to take the jewelry? ”
