Chapter 114: Unexpected

When he woke up the next day, Charles looked at the last persimmon in the box and felt desperate in his heart.

All fat people, I'm afraid it's a problem.

When you come across a favorite food, you will do everything possible to get tired of eating it.

In this regard, he showed great lack of self-control and was absent-minded throughout the morning.

He liked it so much, and more importantly, it was the first time he had eaten it.

At noon, I ran to Old Bob's restaurant.

"So early today?" asked Old Bob.

"Give me a dessert that is exactly the same as yesterday, no, two. ”

Old Bob's face twitched: "I'm sorry, this dessert is not officially on my menu yet." ”

He understands Charles's gaffe very well, and he is not.

He was amazed to find that with a little whiskey, it went perfectly with persimmons.

And the taste is changeable, a little tender, with more sugar in it, a little dryer, more chewy, suitable for cutting into small cubes, and a little aroma of alcohol, try to add a little pre-mixed wine on it, the taste is even better.

I tried it in the morning, and it tasted great when added to tiramisu.

I still have a lot of ideas that I haven't implemented, and I end up with them gone.

"Why? Didn't your Chinese friends send you a lot?"

“5。 Old Bob gestured with 5 fingers: "There are only 5 boxes, I gave you one box yesterday, Brian also took one box, and I used one box for you to taste, and it was gone." ”

"No, what about your Chinese friend, I want to see him. ”

Old Bob spread his hands: "I don't know." ”

"He didn't leave a business card behind?"

Old Bob shook his head.

At the same time, another Britishman, Brian White, was wandering around several major food wholesale markets in Lianyungang with an on-ie box in his hand.

He is a black tea merchant who owns his own brand of black tea in the UK, and has been active in India and China for the past few years, buying Assam black tea from India, Darjeeling black tea, and it is unbelievable that in modern times, India still retains a large number of working slaves at very low prices.

How low is it? It's almost negligible.

There is also Chinese Keemun black tea.

Britain is also a magical country, he does not produce cotton, but it is the world's largest cotton spinning trading country, he does not produce black tea, but it is also the world's largest black tea exporter, which is indeed remarkable.

He enjoys developing and emerging economies, and is good at spotting business opportunities.

In the summer, some tropical fruits are also sold back.

Just this year, China opened business visas for inland provinces, and he was overjoyed, and soon went deep into Anhui to get a large number of supplies, which made his procurement costs directly reduce in half.

(In the past, foreign businessmen could only operate in the 14 coastal cities that were first to open up.) )

With this on-ie in his hand, he ate the first one, and he had already decided that he must put it on his trade list.

The shelf life written above is three months, and it can be stored for more than a year when kept in the refrigerator.

If it really can be to this extent, it will be perfect.

He was well aware of the virtues of the British and did not have the slightest resistance to good food.

At the same time, Brian also has a clear understanding of food, Britain is a country with a lack of products, even if the introduction of production technology, even if persimmons can be cultivated, it cannot be compared with Chinese products, the cost of British local production, than Chinese production, 10 times higher.

It was a perfect trade object, preferably to find the place of origin, and he wanted to get it back to England first, and even thought about it, and at the expense of money, set up a sales channel, and he could be sure that the product would bring him good profits.

However, the origin is very vague, and it is only produced in China.

I got up early in the morning, went to the market in Lianyungang to wander around, and after shopping for most of the day, I found a lot of persimmons, but when I ate it, it was not the taste at all.

The difference is too great.

This made him extremely annoyed, helpless the language is not comprehensible, he can understand some Chinese, but speaking, it is too difficult.

After expressing it for a long time, the other party didn't know what he said.

Back to Old Bob's restaurant, also the same conversation as Charles.

Charles still had to work, so he had lunch and left.

But he waited in Old Bob's restaurant all day.

And how did Fan Yang know that there would be such a good effect.

I got up early in the morning and the phone rang.

At first glance, it was the area code of Sichuan, and when I picked it up, it turned out that it was Section Chief Li calling.

The landline phone of the leather shoe factory was finally installed, and he called to greet Fan Yang's situation, and asked him if the finished soles had been done.

Fan Yang almost forgot about this.

Went to Jiangsu, the finished sole is not simple, in the morning to run to the Haizhou wholesale market, the cheapest is only 6 cents a pair, Fan Yang purchased 30,000 pairs, with road freight back to Sichuan.

There is no way, there is no relationship with the railway department in Lianyungang, and the wagons cannot be contacted.

And in 92, the logistics company has not yet developed.

There are only a few large state-owned enterprises, postal ES, China Railway Express, and ocean logistics, tens of thousands of pairs of soles, a car is not satisfied, run to the door, and others will not pick you up.

Wait until next year, after SF, Shentong and other logistics are listed, the small order can be delivered quickly.

92 Southern Tour, opening up more than 400 industrial and commercial policies, this is too significant, it can be said to be a watershed in the reform and opening up, many industries were officially opened this year.

More than 2,000 kilometers, I found a van truck to send it back, and the freight cost 4,000 yuan.

Even so, on the whole, it is worth it, 30,000 pairs, spread evenly, only 1 cent 3 more, plus freight, a pair of soles does not exceed 1 yuan.

According to the yards and quantities reported by Section Chief Li, the procurement was handed over to the red soldiers to be responsible.

It took a whole day to get this done.

The next day was also busy.

Because Fan Yang's company was finally registered.

Let Section Chief Li fax the copies of the organization code certificate, tax registration certificate, and business license first.

Liu Dingxin almost dropped his jaw when he saw the registered capital of 30,000 yuan, and he wailed again: "Big brother, my Mr. Fan, your registered capital is only 30,000 yuan?

Fan Yang stretched out his hands again and pressed Liu Dingxin on the chair: "An, I'm not out of money, I'll expand the registered capital to 1 million immediately, I'll do it immediately, ask me, find an agency, how much does it cost to advance 1 million?"

"I'm afraid it will cost 2 to 30,000 yuan. ”

Fan Yang picked his head, he couldn't draw it, it seemed that the schedule to Hong Kong was going to be advanced.

However, the formalities must be completed first.

In this era, company registration is quite complicated and procrastinating.

If Fan Yang arrives in Lianyungang and registers a company again, he may not be able to do it for half a year.

It is much simpler to have a company's foundation, and then find customs, commodity inspection, and the corresponding foreign affairs unit to issue a certificate, expand the registered capital, and obtain the authority of export agency.

Because he is the counterpart of the customs.

The foreign trade company of Lianyungang, when it arrives in Guangzhou, has to repeat the same procedures at the customs in Guangzhou in order to obtain the export right in Guangzhou.

Inland provinces should also open border trade rights one by one.

Find an agency, learn about the relevant things, throw them all, you can do it, even the foreign affairs unit can get a certificate, you only need to pay for it, but the price is a bit high.

If you advance 1 million, you will get 20,000 yuan in handling fees.

The agency company and the issuance of foreign affairs certificates are again 8000.

It takes more than 30,000 yuan to register a company.

If you don't advance money, you will have to spend 10,000.

But this is also urgent, not in a hurry, with a general trading company, it is no problem to engage in agents, the big deal is to pay for customs in other foreign trade companies.

This is also the reason for the proliferation of small foreign trade companies.

Registering a general trade is equivalent to the nature of an intermediary.

As long as you can pull the business, the same is very profitable.

And a large foreign trade company, there are many small trading companies affiliated below.

There is a kind of interdependence between the two sides.

It wasn't until the morning of the third day that Fan Yang took Frost and Liu Dingxin to Old Bob's restaurant again.

As a result, as soon as I walked to the door, I saw old Bob greet me with a warm face: "My friend." He opened his arms and gave Fan Yang and the others a big hug next to each other.

"Oh my God, we've been waiting for you for days, why are you here now?"

Then the people in the restaurant noticed the movement, and someone pushed the door open.

Four or five Englishmen poured out.

As soon as he saw Fan Yang, he surrounded them.

"Is this your Chinese friend?" Charles asked as he stepped forward, his eyes fixed on Fan Yang's empty hands.

Charles?

Exaggerated, right?

"Yes, that's my Chinese friend. ”

Welcome Fan Yang and the others into the restaurant.

As soon as he sat down, an Englishman couldn't wait to come over and stretched out his hand: "Hello, my name is Brian White, from Chloyd, I am a black tea merchant, I like your sweet tomatoes very much, can you introduce me to them?"

Forehead?

What the hell is going on?

Fan Yang subconsciously looked at Old Bob.

Old Bob shrugged his shoulders and gave a playful expression.

Fan Yang's mind was racing, and he didn't know what was going on.

A grateful look at old Bob.

Old Bob must have helped.

He knows that he can't hide it from old Bob, and he is not afraid of being noticed by his deliberate approach, because people are like this, as long as the starting point is correct, no matter which way of paying, there will be a reward.

The results achieved were unexpected.

If you pretend again, it won't be fun.

"Go and bring all the persimmons from the car. ”

This time they brought a full 5 boxes, 20 boxes each.

When the persimmons were moved over, even Charles was not calm, and took the initiative to come over: "This is your product?"

Fan Yang nodded: "Hello, Mr. Charles." ”

"You know me?"

"Hehe, I visited you at the club, but I didn't make an appointment and was stopped by the front desk. ”

Charles smiled heartily: "Then next time you have an appointment, I welcome you on behalf of the club because you have brought us a wonderful gift." ”

After a period of politeness, Fan Yang's back was straight, he maintained full courtesy, and gave a thick pile of 10 boxes of generous gifts to every Englishman present.

Charles couldn't bear it, so he pinched one in front of everyone, threw it into his mouth, and praised it: "It's this taste, I like it very much." ”

Seeing this, Brian White also opened a box and threw it into his mouth, instantly revealing an intoxicated expression.

Old Bob introduced Fan Yang one by one.

Except for Charles and Brian White.

There were also three Britons.

They are Hong Kong British Laurenbuir Company, Andrew Mason, which is an enterprise engaged in jam, olive oil, butter and so on in Hong Kong, which integrates production and marketing.

Berkeley Watch Group, Great Britain, Dave Zoden.

David Smith, D. D. Smith, D. D. Smith, D. A.

Two out of five Britons can have a direct business relationship.

Charles got the persimmons, he was already satisfied, the British don't like to make noise, and handed Fan Yang a business card: "Now you have an appointment." ”

Fan Yang expressed his gratitude.

Charles and several other Britons returned to their seats.

Only Brian, who had no intention of leaving, sat down opposite Fan Yang and asked, "I'm curious, how did you process such a delicious product?"

"It's very simple, it is natural air drying, our product is original, without any additives, it takes 50 days to make it, and it goes through 12 processes before and after, in the process of natural drying, every persimmon needs to be carefully taken care of artificially, and every day the persimmon must be turned over and kneaded in order to process such a unique delicacy. ”

"Is it just air-dried? And what's the matter with all this fructose?"

"Yes, just by air drying, fructose is naturally overflowing, just like Turpan raisins, do you know Turpan raisins?"

"I know, I know, although I haven't been to Xinin, but I have been fascinated by the Silk Road and desert culture for a long time, I am a China expert, do you mean that this product comes from Xinin?"

"No, from Shaanxi, China, a place called Fuping, that place has a history of hundreds of years of production......"

Fan Yang brought out the story of Ling Shuanghou again.

Brian was very surprised to hear this: "The emperor of China, for a tree marquis? is incredible, if the British know about it, they will definitely be very envious, a tree, actually has a noble status, what a noble honor, can you take me to visit?"

"Chance, are you interested in this product?" asked Fan Yang.

Regain the initiative of the discourse.

Brian said unabashedly, "Of course, it really has a shelf life of three months?"

"Yes, plastic packaging could have taken longer. ”

"And plastic packaging?"

Fan Yang nodded, then opened a box beside him, took out a plastic box, and two packages of plastic bags, and put them in front of Brian's eyes.

"It's fantastic, it's totally a highly mature product. Brian was briefly surprised, and then frowned slightly: "Please forgive me for being presumptuous, why are your products branded with American trademarks?"

Fan Yang smiled and shook his head: "No, this is our own brand, let me tell you, this product was developed by me, and my identity is a foreign trade businessman, before, this product was hidden in the mountains, has been uncared for, after I found out, ready to push him to the international market, has signed a contract with a food company in the United States for the purchase and sale of 2,000 tons per year, this year, only a few tons are left, or I deliberately deducted it, planning to push it to the European market, I don't know if you are interested in this project?"

Brian looked at Fan Yang incredulously: "This is something you developed independently?"

"Yes. ”

"Forgive me, being deceived by your appearance, to get to know you formally, my name is Brian White, I am a freelance trader, mainly engaged in the black tea trade, I have my own black tea base in Berkeley, and I also have my own brand, it is a pleasure to meet you. He stood up and stretched out his hand again.

"I'm also glad to meet you, are you interested in this project?"

"I'm interested, but I don't know how we work together?"

"What? You want to invest?"
