Chapter 167: Middle Eastern Tyrants (I)
Xiao Zhao saw that his leader's eyes were staring at the boss because of excitement, and he felt a little proud in his heart, and said: "A foreigner wants to order a thousand pieces of embroidery when he opens his mouth, which is the kind of peony pattern placed next to the telephone." β
"Ah, a thousand, so many?" Lin Xintai was overjoyed, and hurriedly quickened his pace, overtaking the girl and trotting towards the booth. When he arrived at the booth, Lin Xintai was even more surprised, because the black foreign businessman not only had to order 1,000 peony embroideries, but also 1,000 sets of pillows to be placed on rattan chairs.
There was a foreign businessman who wanted to buy the kind of scarf on the coffee table. Two foreigners even asked to order a batch of rattan chairs and coffee tables.
Seeing that foreign businessmen even had to order rattan chairs and coffee tables, Lin Xintai and Wang Xiaomei, who were very excited, were a little dumbfounded: These rattan chairs and coffee tables are just our props, okay? We still rented them from others.
Xiao Zhao, the girl standing next to Jiang Xinwei, wanted to smile bitterly, and even wanted to shout: "What kind of rattan chair and coffee table to order? You should order embroidery, we have an embroidery booth here." β
She didn't know that Su Dingyu in the distance was more depressed than her: "Foreigner, you should order our telephone, our telephone is also going to be sold." β¦β¦ What embroidery, what pillows, what rattan chairs, all serve our telephones, they are all props! Our telephones are the real protagonists of this booth!"
Unfortunately, no one heard the different voices of the two of them, and the merchants still chose their products according to their preferences. Although the rattan chair or something is just a prop, but to be able to export to foreign countries to earn foreign exchange for the country, Jiang Xinwei is still happy in his heart, he saw that the people of the lake embroidery art company are busy, so he took the initiative to run to the booth of the furniture company, and asked their staff to sign the contract.
Rattan chairs, coffee tables, etc. belong to office supplies, and also belong to the category of exhibits in the third phase.
It just so happened that the leader of the rattan chair booth, the director of the furniture factory, was also there. Listening to Jiang Xinwei's words, the factory director looked incredulous, and said while following Jiang Xinwei forward: "How is it possible? How can foreign businessmen order our products at your Huxiu art booth, we have so many here, all kinds of things." You've only borrowed two rattan chairs. β
But after arriving, he saw that the foreign businessman really wanted to order, and he wanted to sign the contract immediately, so the factory director really believed that there was a pie hitting him, and he was happy and hurriedly invited the foreign businessman to his booth politely.
The manufacturers who sell rattan chairs are like this, and the same is true for the manufacturers who sell coffee tables, and Jiang Xinwei came to the booth of Shuangzhou Lake Embroidery Art Company with a suspicious face, and happily signed a large contract with foreign businessmen on the spot.
The director of the rattan chair factory invited foreign businessmen to his booth, thinking that after seeing all kinds of rattan chairs and piles of rattan chairs, he would be pleased to find that there were more and more complete varieties here. And then greatly increase the amount of procurement, who knows that foreign businessmen looked at their booth but shook their heads, not only did not propose to increase the amount of purchases, but even wanted to regret the purchase intention just proposed, and finally under the persuasion of the factory director, under the premise of repeatedly ensuring that the rattan chair here is the rattan chair in the lake embroidery art booth, the other party signed two hundred rattan chairs.
This amount was obviously less than he was willing to order before, and there was no trace of his impatience before.
This puzzled the factory director. I don't understand that there are many samples and styles here, so why foreign businessmen don't want to order. And the foreign businessmen who left were equally puzzled. He muttered: "It's the same rattan chair, why do you look so different?" At that lake embroidery booth, I liked these rattan chairs at a glance, and looking at them here, it seems like garbage thrown out?"
Seeing the disdainful look of the foreign businessman when he left, the cold sweat on the back of the factory leader came out: God. Lao Tzu almost did a bad thing with good intentions just now! No, next time you can't call the foreign businessmen here, just sign the contract at the Huxiu booth. β¦β¦ I was stunned by the rattan chairs made in my own factory. I almost didn't believe it was made in our factory.
Not long after the departure of these foreign businessmen who signed the contract, there were some sporadic merchants who came to sign embroidery or rattan chairs and coffee tables, and what made people laugh and cry was that there were still foreign businessmen who wanted to order batik wall hangings, because Jiang Xinwei hung a piece of batik on the wall they arranged!
The batik with unique ethnic minority characteristics is rendered by colorful lanterns, which makes foreigners like it at once.
β¦β¦
When the exhibition hall closed and ended today's exhibition, Shuangzhou Lake Embroidery Art Company actually signed an embroidery contract of nearly 100,000 US dollars, more than twice the total amount of the contract they signed a few days ago, catching up with and exceeding the total amount of contracts signed by the opposite Provincial Lake Embroidery Art Company at this session of the Canton Fair!
This made Lin Xintai and Wang Xiaomei surprised and delighted, and couldn't believe it: just because the booth layout is different, the effect is so different?
What many people don't believe is that at the booth in TongguΓ², there are four furniture or textile companies that have signed foreign trade contracts of 10,000 US dollars, 15,000 US dollars, 23,000 US dollars, 8,000 US dollars, etc.
Taken together, nearly $160,000 worth of merchandise was signed out at this booth! This number shocked almost all the booths around.
When they returned to the hostel in the evening, Jiang Xinwei and Su Dingyu looked at each other and smiled bitterly: "Dare to love us to come here to help people do good deeds!" They came all the way from Hudong Province and worked hard to decorate the booth extraordinary, but as a result, they were selling other people's products.
People signed one contract after another in this booth, but his own telephone did not sign a contract, only five or six merchants inquired, none of them showed obvious purchase intentions, and they couldn't be happy if they wanted to be happy.
Su Dingyu asked worriedly: "Jiang Xinwei, is it not okay for us to be so confused? After all, this issue is selling clothing, stationery, office supplies, etc. β
Jiang Xinwei thought for a while and said, "I think today's effect is very good." So many manufacturers have got orders from the mixture, which means that we have attracted enough attention from foreign businessmen, and the reason why we have not received orders now, as you said, is because the merchants who came to this issue are here to purchase clothing, stationery, office supplies and so on. There should be no or very few merchants to purchase electronic products, even if they like our telephone, it will take a while to call back to discuss whether to purchase. β
Su Dingyu said: "But how can there be customers who buy coffee tables, isn't this also a bull's head and a horse's mouth?"
Jiang Xinxu said: "Maybe it's a coincidence. If you think about it, there may be clothing stores that sell small stools, but they certainly don't sell refrigerators, aren't you?
Thinking of the refrigerator sold in the clothing store, Su Dingyu smiled and said, "But seeing that only people ask but no one buys, can you not be anxious?"
Jiang Xinwei said: "It's already good if someone asks." β¦β¦ , don't worry, even if no one buys it tomorrow, someone will buy it the day after tomorrow. It's up to me to see if the number can break through my expectations. β
Su Dingyu asked: "Why are you so sure? The day after tomorrow is the last day of the Canton Fair." β¦β¦ , If it can't be sold here, I think we have to rush back immediately to participate in the military inspection of telephones organized by Gu Changfeng, and it is better to win an order for 1,000 units than nothing. β
Jiang Xinwei said disapprerovingly: "You are just doing this, no wonder Gu Changfeng said that you are drooling." β
β¦β¦
The next morning, Jiang Xinwei's telephone sales still did not improve, but their addition made more people begin to pay attention to the booth layout, as if the entire exhibition hall has changed overnight, most of the booths are no longer as before just pile up more goods, just recommend a large number of goods to the merchants who shuttle back and forth, they also learn from Jiang Xinwei and began to pay attention to the taste of the booth, began to carefully arrange the booth.
It is precisely because many booths have begun to change, so that the booth of Shuangzhou Lake Embroidery Art Company is no longer as eye-catching as yesterday, although their grade and taste are still higher than the grade and taste of other manufacturers around, but it is no longer so prominent, and the merchants attracted are naturally not as many as yesterday.
Despite this, Hu embroidery still sold a lot, and Lin Xintai, Wang Xiaomei they signed a contract with the number of merchants and the amount of the contract are more than double the previous session, and the gap with the opposite booth of the provincial lake embroidery handicraft company is getting bigger and bigger.
Seeing that only someone inquired about his own telephone, but no one purchased it, Su Dingyu was not calm again, his eyes swept over Jiang Xinwei from time to time, and he didn't understand whether this guy was pretending to be a bamboo or if he was really sure.
Seeing Lin Xintai and Wang Xiaomei signing a contract from time to time, he glanced at Jiang Xinwei and then slipped away under the pretext of going to the toilet.
Today, Jiang Xinwei is also dressed as a staff member, standing aside to receive customers from time to time. In fact, Jiang Xinwei's heart was far less calm than what Su Dingyu had seen, although he was not anxious, but he was also a little anxious.
He thought silently in his heart: "The merchant who saw the telephone yesterday should have spread the news, right? Why hasn't anyone come to buy it today? It is impossible that no one will take a fancy to such a good telephone." β
At this moment, Yin Jinqiu of the Provincial Lake Embroidery Art Company came over with a smile and said, "You young man, you have a lot of ideas. Look at it, everyone has readjusted the booth because of your trouble, how much manpower and material resources have to be wasted. As a result, there are still not many foreign businessmen who buy it. β¦β¦ By the way, how many of your phones have been sold?"
Everyone knows that the change of booth can not increase the total number of orders, but can be more important when merchants pay more attention to distinctive booths, and in a certain way, orders can be tilted and flow towards these distinctive booths. Now almost all the booths have been beautified, which has raised the overall level and overall taste of the exhibition hall, but the average order volume of each booth has not improved much.
