Chapter 425: Sky-high price
Regarding the price, Simon said cautiously: "We have one meter of cloth, about 100 grams, I don't know how many meters you need." ”
Wang Weiwei exclaimed: "It's so light!"
Normally, a relatively light fabric like silk costs 200 grams per meter. But this golden spider silk cloth weighs only 100 grams per meter, which is too light and thin.
Wang Weiwei frowned and thought for a while before she spoke: "A dress needs about four meters of fabric, which is enough." ”
Four meters is four hundred grams, which is big business, Simon is excited.
He rubbed his hands together and said, "The price of our fabric is $20,000 per gram. ”
Even Li Qinghuan was moved.
$20,000 per gram!
One gram of gold is only more than fifty dollars, and one gram of gold spider silk is worth almost a pound of gold!
"It's outrageous! It's much more expensive than gold. Wang Weiwei said in surprise.
"You can't wear gold. Simon replied with a smile.
Li Qinghuan pondered for a while, this price was indeed a bit ridiculously expensive, beyond her psychological expectations.
This thing, 400 grams to buy will cost 8 million dollars!
This is still the cost of fabric, not counting accessories or anything, if you can match the accessories of this fabric, it must be top-notch jewelry.
In the end, I don't know how much the cost of the clothes will be.
"It's too expensive, Mr. Simon, you know, we're here in good faith. However, I don't see the sincerity of your offer. Can you give me an analysis of why the price has reached such an outrageous level?" Li Qinghuan said unhappily.
Simon showed that although he was calm and calm, he also carried it in his heart.
In the past, many customers were scared away by the price he quoted, and so far they have not sold a single gram of fabric.
There are many rich people in the world, but most of the rich people are rational, and it may cost tens of millions of dollars to buy this kind of cloth back to make clothes, and this kind of golden clothes are suitable for too few occasions.
So, no one really wants to spend so much money to buy this flashy fabric back to make clothes.
Simon has also put a lot of effort into maintaining the studio project, and he has invested a lot over the years.
To produce this fabric, you need to breed your own golden spiders, and you need to hire workers to extract the spider silk, which is then processed into cloth.
Moreover, this kind of work of extracting spider silk has a certain degree of danger, and in addition, on the American side, labor is already very expensive.
Just the wages of the workers, Simon was scorched.
In the past few years, not only did he not make a penny on this project, but he also sold all his family funds and sold his house to pay wages to the workers.
However, Simon is a man of great faith and believes that his project will be successful!
First of all, this golden spider silk fabric is indeed unique, it can be regarded as the perfect form in the fabric, and more importantly, this fabric is his original, which has never appeared before.
Simon also understands the truth that scarcity is expensive.
Therefore, no matter how difficult it is, he gritted his teeth and was unwilling to loosen his mouth and reduce the price.
Good things, the price must be firm, otherwise, the forced price will be reduced.
……
Faced with Li Qinghuan's questioning, Simon replied stubbornly: "Mr. Li, please listen to my explanation, this golden spider silk fabric is not easy to come by." Now that I've scaled up my farming, I want to get 400 grams of cloth, which is basically all my output for three years!
In the past three years, I have to raise millions of golden spiders, and I need a worker to extract the spider silk every day, and then weave it delicately to get a little bit of fabric.
Mr. Li, please think about it, dozens of labor, plus a lot of investment, and the fruits of three years of labor, will you need more than eight million US dollars?"
This explanation is okay, if you consider it from this point of view, the cost of these 400 grams of fabric may be as high as two or three million.
In addition, this kind of fabric is unique in the world, and it can't be bought anywhere else, so it is understandable that the premium is a little higher.
Li Qinghuan saw that Simon gritted his teeth and refused to reduce the price, coupled with the understanding before coming, this guy scared away many people who inquired because of the high asking price.
But even if it hasn't been sold, it won't be lowered, and it seems that if you want to bargain, it's more troublesome.
And the time on my side is tight, and the time to prepare for the show is running out, so it is not easy to find a suitable fabric.
Now this kind of golden spider silk cloth is indeed the most suitable one I can find.
She immediately decided, expensive is expensive, this is also an extra gimmick.
In the later stage of publicity, the price of the fabric is also a concept that can be boasted.
"Okay, at this price, is the fabric ready, we're going to take it today." Li Qinghuan said decisively.
She is also this kind of crisp character, since she has decided to buy this thing, and the time is pressing, there is nothing to grind about.
If you bargain with Simon and talk for a few days, you may end up with a little cheaper, but it's not certain.
But that must be a waste of time, at this stage, time is worth more than tens of millions of dollars to yourself!
Simon was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the other party to be so decisive, and he originally thought that there was going to be a tug-of-war.
The two sides bargained, you come and go, this kind of big business of eight million US dollars, if you don't talk about it for a few days, how can you be worthy of such a high amount......
He had already made up his mind, and the other party did seem to be sincere, and he had to stay with this customer.
However, we can't make too many concessions, we talked for two or three days, and finally pretended to be bold, saying that I wanted to make this friend of the other party and give a concession of 500,000 US dollars!
But who knows, his script is ready, but the other party does not cooperate......
Seeing that Simon Leng was silent there, Li Qinghuan reminded him: "Mr. Simon, Mr. Simon!"
Simon woke up and hurriedly replied, "Okay, okay! Of course, there is no problem, the fabric is in the safe in the studio, and it can be inspected at any time." ”
Li Qinghuan wrote him a cash check from Citibank on the spot, and after Simon verified it, he happily took out the fabric he had accumulated over the years from the safe in the inner room.
After Wang Weiwei carefully inspected, she nodded at Li Qinghuan, indicating that there was no problem.
The fabric problem was solved, and the two did not waste time, and returned to Pengcheng by private plane on the same day.
……
In this big show, Li Qinghuan and they are not only preparing such a finale style, but they also carefully prepared a lot of things for the amazing debut of the floating dream.
For example, a whole range of silk styles.
