Chapter 205: Self-design
After the phone rang several times, Chen Dahe breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to grab the microphone.
"Hey, I'm Chen Dahe, who one may I ask?"
On the other side, a series of female voices came in English, "Is it Chen, I'm Oliver, please speak English." ”
Chen Dahe couldn't help but be stunned, Oliver called at this time, could it be that something happened? Or did the above arrange someone to ship in the United States?
Oliver continued on the other end of the line, "Hey, are you still there?"
Chen Dahe came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Yes, Oliver, it's me, is there something wrong with you calling so late?"
"Haha,"
A string of crisp laughter came from the microphone, "No, no, no, it's not late at all, I'm still here in the morning." ”
"Alright, Oliver," Chen Dahe pouted helplessly, "are you taking revenge?"
"Of course, who told you to call every time I was sleeping, so I'm going to call you today when you're sleeping. ”
"Okay, I've disappointed you," Chen Dahe didn't seem eager at all in his heart, and chatted with Oliver in a relaxed tone, "I haven't slept yet, I suggest you can play in the afternoon next time, I must have fallen asleep by then." ”
"Well, I will," Oliver chuckled, "Alright, Chen, I've got something to look for you." ”
"Of course you have something to look for me, otherwise you wouldn't call, you must know that the bill of transoceanic phone calls is not cheap," Chen Dahe smiled, "Okay, please, what's the matter?"
"It's about the art business,"
Hearing this, Chen Dahe was stunned for a moment, but he still held his breath silent.
Oliver continued, "The art we launched has successfully gained a foothold in the New York art market, which is already home to the largest art market in North America, so we have a presence in the American art market, but now we need to control the number of shipments." ”
"Huh?" Chen Dahe wondered if he had misheard, "You mean that you need to control the number of shipments, not increase the number of shipments?"
"Of course," Oliver's voice raised slightly, "haven't you heard that scarcity is expensive, and the same goes for art, if it is of comparable quality, the price of a high-yield artist's work is definitely not as good as that of a low-yield artist's work, this is common sense, so we must control shipments." ”
"There is no problem in controlling shipments," Chen Dahe asked, "but we have signed a contract, so the purchase volume will not decrease." ”
"It doesn't matter, the purchase volume remains the same, the goods can be stored in the warehouse first, and then the water will flow for a long time, and then ship after the price rises in the future, so that you can earn more and be more in line with the long-term interests." ”
"Then it's no problem," Chen Dahe said with a smile while rolling his eyes, "but Oliver, art companies in our country are increasing their production, and if these goods flow to the American market, even if it's not New York, but Los Angeles or Chicago, won't it still affect the price of art and impact us?"
Surprisingly, Oliver didn't seem to care about it," Chen, don't worry about this at all, our products are different from others, every product sold from Jones Art Company will be equipped with a signature certificate issued by a top art appraisal master and Jones Company's credit guarantee, just by virtue of this, even if it is the same work created by the same artist, it is impossible to sell it at the same price as us, not to mention that they cannot easily enter the high-end art market, let alone have an impact on us, and those who have this ability will not easily deal with us for this money, ”
Speaking of this, Oliver said with a hint of differentness, "My shares are not just exchanged for cash. ”
Chen Dahe's heart suddenly understood, and then thought of Ambassador Wood's uninvited arrival, it is obvious that Oliver's family also has a lot of energy in New York, and may even have a certain influence in the entire United States.
"In that case, then there is no problem," Chen Dahe said with a smile, "There is no exclusivity agreement in the original purchase contract, and I am worried that there will be competitors who will take advantage of this to seize the market." ”
"Hmph, let them let the horses come," Oliver laughed, then paused, "Chen, is there already a competitor?"
"That's right, I've received word that there are already people who are trying to reach out to art companies and bring their products to the U.S. market because of the overwhelming response to our products. ”
"That's normal, but then they're just going to destroy the heavens," Oliver snorted and asked, "It won't affect our current share, will it?"
Chen Dahe immediately gave her a reassurance, "This will not be, at least this contract is still guaranteed." ”
"That's fine," Oliver said again, "Chen, this is a mistake on your part, if you continue to purchase in the future, you must sign an exclusivity agreement." ”
"Oliver, this is difficult," Chen Dahe said with a wry smile, "There are too many art companies of the same type, and our existing products alone involve hundreds of production companies, and we can't control all the purchase channels." ”
"Okay, okay, that's really hard to do," Oliver said, a little discouraged.
Chen Dahe suddenly had an inspiration, "Oliver, do you think this will work, we will find our own designer, design the pattern style that Americans prefer, and then hand it over to the art company here for production, American design plus Chinese craftsmanship, so that our products are absolutely unique." ”
"It's a good idea, and it's more in line with the long-term development of the company, maybe we can become a high-end jewelry company." ”
Chen Dahe laughed, "Maybe it will become another Tiffany in the future." ”
"Haha, then my graduation project will be the best business case in the whole school," Oliver's eyes sparkled into fantasy, and Chen Dahe shouted several times before he came to his senses, "Huh? What are you talking about?"
Chen Dahe said amusedly, "I mean, do you have anything else to do? The phone bill is very expensive!"
"Oh, of course," Oliver blushed and hurriedly said, "Chen, I didn't call for this, if you control the shipment, it will inevitably affect the company's short-term income, and the performance income of the theater troupe is far from being comparable to the art business for the time being, you need to find new profit growth points, of course, your idea just now is very good, but it will take time." ”
"Understood," Chen Dahe tapped his fingers on the table, lowered his head and thought about it, "Okay Oliver, I'll find a time to go to Xiangjiang, and we'll meet and talk in detail when the time comes." ”
Oliver paused, and then said, "Why not the United States? Since you can go abroad, I can help you get a visa to the United States." ”
Chen Dahe sold it, "Because the next plan is related to Xiangjiang, you will know when the time comes." ”
"Okay," Oliver chuckled, "I haven't been to Asia yet, so it's a graduation trip. ”
"Of course," Chen Dahe pouted speechlessly, he was also a multimillionaire, should he be so careful.
The two chatted for a few more words, and when they hung up the phone, Chen Dahe sat on the chair and laughed silently, he didn't expect this matter to be solved silently, and he didn't expect that a reporter he met by accident would have a great background, and he really picked up a treasure, think about it, the first reporter sent by the New York Times to China, this is the only place to not let them steal the head inside, if Oss has no background, it will not be his turn.
To be more precise, in the past two years, there are really few Westerners in China who are from ordinary families, just like Thierry, isn't it also a small background, and Lisa, he doesn't believe that this girl's family will be very ordinary, otherwise Thierry's family would not agree in the first place.
Therefore, as long as you can build a relationship with them and bring them practical benefits, you can set up the big net behind them, and you can generally reach cooperation. It may not be until after the 90s, when foreigners who come to China will become mixed, there are all kinds of people, and when dealing with them, you must pay more attention to them, otherwise they will really be sold and still help people for money.
