Chapter 949: Merchants are all profit-seeking
With Schultz's commitment, Zhao Guoyang has more expectations for the purchase of "Scania" heavy truck engines.
Of course, there are some things that are best left to the point.
Zhao Guoyang only mentioned this matter roughly, and did not continue to entangle.
Schultz was also very surprised by his free and easy, and deep down he was a little more curious about the young boss.
Speaking of which, Schultz has seen a lot of various characters because of his big business.
But it was the first time he had seen someone like Zhao Guoyang who had created a huge foundation at a young age.
However, after just a few hours of contact, Schultz has also sensed that Zhao Guoyang is different.
He is no longer amazed at what he has achieved.
From "Xingtai International" to "Rongguang Co., Ltd." is a short journey.
Zhao Guoyang and Schultz chatted for a long time, and Rolls-Royce had already stopped at the door of the restaurant of "Glory Co., Ltd."
Because Zhao Guoyang had already spoken to Bai Rou on the phone before, when he and Schultz arrived, this Bai Zong was already at the door to greet him.
After getting out of the car, Zhao Guoyang naturally introduced Schultz as soon as possible.
He held Schultz's arm, pointed at Bai Rou and introduced with a smile: "Mr. Schultz, this is Miss Bai Rou, the vice chairman and general manager of our 'Rongguang Co., Ltd.'. ”
Schultz obviously didn't expect that the general manager of "Glory Co., Ltd." was such a beauty, and he was stunned at the moment.
However, he quickly regained his composure and shook hands with Bai Rou with a smile on his face.
"Ah, hello Mr. Bai! Just on the way, your chairman Zhao also told me that his right-hand man is a beautiful lady. Originally, I didn't believe it, but now that I've met your real person, I have to complain about you!"
"Miss Bai Rou, this is not only beautiful, it is simply a national beauty!"
Listening to the other party's flattering words, Bai Rou pursed her lips and smiled, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Schultz, for your compliment! The banquet inside is ready, Mr. Schultz, why don't we go in first and talk while eating?"
Bai Rou's proposal, Schultz naturally readily agreed.
On the other side, Zhao Guoyang showed an appreciative smile to Bai Rou, and walked into the restaurant side by side with Schultz.
After seeing these two enter, Mu Yiyi behind him followed in time.
Bai Rou prepared a banquet for Zhao Guoyang and Schultz that was a combination of Chinese and Western styles.
At the banquet, there are not only Chinese dishes, but also Western-style snacks and steaks.
To everyone's surprise, the steak that Mr. Schultz asked for was only three ripe.
In this regard, Zhao Guoyang was always prepared and did not show too much surprise.
Speaking of which, it was common for people in the Nordic region to eat raw meat in the past.
Although with the gradual development of science and technology, there are many fewer cases of eating raw.
But even in the 90s, people in some places will still "remember the bittersweet and sweet" from time to time and eat raw meat.
Watching Schultz munch on bloodshot steak, whether it was Bai Rou or Mu Yiyi, they were a little sick to their stomachs.
Fortunately, Zhao Guoyang, who is mainly accompanied, has excellent psychological quality, and chatting with Schultz without changing his face on the side.
After taking a sip of red wine, Schultz looked at Zhao Guoyang and said, "Chairman Zhao, after listening to Miss Bai Rou's introduction just now, the main products of your 'Rongguang Co., Ltd.' turned out to be jewelry and luxury goods?"
When Zhao Guoyang heard this, he nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Schultz." It has been two or three years since our 'Rongguang Co., Ltd.) entered the luxury market. ”
"Over the years, our company's 'Fashion beauty' brand has made certain achievements in the North American and European markets, and it can be regarded as a firm foothold......
Zhao Guoyang was not too modest in what he said, he just told the truth.
In fact, he knows that when dealing with a foreigner like Schultz, sometimes being too modest can easily make people despise you.
Just like the "Fashion beauty" brand, although it is certainly not as good as those internationally renowned luxury brands, it already has a little advantage in the third-rate jewelry brands in Europe and the United States.
Of course, this advantage is based on the low cost of "Fashion beauty".
After all, on the Huaxia side, both the design fee of the designer and the wages of the workers are very low.
For example, several well-known jewelry designers under the design department of "Rongguang Co., Ltd." were all invited by Zhao Guoyang from various small workshops in China.
Although these jewelry designers are relatively backward in their design concepts, they are superior in their craftsmanship.
Under Zhao Guoyang's guidance, the role they can play is not much better than that of those well-known jewelry designers in the world.
However, their design fees are only a few tenths or even a hundredth of those of well-known jewelry designers.
It is precisely for this reason that "Fashion beauty" products are invincible in terms of cost in the first place.
To put it bluntly, "Fashion beauty" can occupy a place among the third-rate jewelry brands in Europe and the United States, mainly because of the low cost of light.
Schultz is naturally not clear about these situations of "Rongguang Co., Ltd."
But he now knows Zhao Guoyang very well and knows that he will never speak.
Since Chairman Zhao has already said that the "Fashion beauty" brand of "Rongguang Co., Ltd." has a certain competitiveness in Europe and the United States, it must be a fact.
In view of this, Schultz said with emotion: "Chairman Zhao is really amazing, your business is too wide." Not only is it in the production of heavy equipment, ships, heavy trucks and other mechanical products, but it is also involved in the luxury market, which makes people want to be unconvinced!"
Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang didn't say anything modest, but just said slightly: "Mr. Schultz, I heard you say before, and in terms of luxury goods, I also represent several companies." I wonder if you can talk to us about this?"
"If possible, our 'Rongguang Co., Ltd.' can also cooperate with you!"
After listening to Zhao Guoyang's story, Schultz's eyes lit up.
He was a merchant, and businessmen were profit-seeking.
Compared with the meager profits of construction machinery and equipment, heavy trucks, luxury goods can definitely be regarded as huge profits.
The reason why Schultz did not talk about this luxury matter with Zhao Guoyang in detail before was mainly because he didn't know that his "Rongguang Co., Ltd." actually had such a well-known brand as "Fashion beauty".
Now that I have heard Zhao Guoyang's introduction, this brand has a very good market in Europe and North America, and Schultz naturally wants to get a piece of the pie.
After making up his mind, Schultz nodded with a smile and said: "Chairman Zhao's words are too outward! Since we have signed a contract, we are close partners." ”
"Since this 'Rongguang Co., Ltd.' is Chairman Zhao's industry, all its products are in the list of agents of our 'Clayton Trading Company'. ”
Speaking of this, Schultz showed a sincere smile and said: "Speaking of which, there are many luxury brands in our Nordic region. ”
"For example, COS, G&S and deberg are all well-known brands in our Nordic region. ”
After a haha, Schultz continued: "Of course, these brands in our Nordic region are definitely not as good as GUCCI, Louis Vuitton, Prada and other first-line luxury brands, but they also have their own characteristics and are very popular with some middle classes!"
"If Chairman Zhao and Miss Bai Rou want to enter the Nordic region with 'Fashion Beauty', I think there are still some necessary ...... to absorb the characteristics of our Nordic local brands."
After listening to Schultz's sincere narration, Bai Rou was stunned again and again.
She took a sip of red wine and said a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Schultz, to be honest, I really didn't know about these brands you talked about before...... Can you tell us more about that?"
After Bai Rou said this, Schultz looked up and was happy.
As soon as he nodded, wanting it to happen, he inadvertently saw Zhao Guoyang beside him, who seemed to be confident.
Opened his mouth in surprise, Schultz asked tentatively: "Chairman Zhao, looking at you like this, it seems that you are very familiar with the three Nordic brands I just mentioned?
When Zhao Guoyang heard this, he let out a "hmm" and admitted: "Mr. Schultz is serious! This familiarity is certainly not to be talked about, but it can only be said that there is a certain understanding!"
When Schultz saw Zhao Guoyang admit it, the surprise in his heart was even worse.
He blinked his eyes, made a "please" gesture and said, "Mr. Zhao, then you can tell Miss Bai Rou first." ”
Zhao Guoyang didn't shirk it, he touched his nose immediately, nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll be ugly." If there is anything wrong, please correct it in time with Mr. Schultz!"
After a pause, Zhao Guoyang slowly opened his voice: "First of all, let's talk about this COS brand! It is the high-end secondary line brand COSCOS of H&M Group, the full name is Collection of Style. ”
"Unlike H&M, which takes a pro-people approach within the H&M Group, COS is a bit more expensive and has a more minimalist design. It is usually won by line, cut and shape, emphasizing the design of the four seasons, and the clothing style is more refined, and the product line includes men's wear, women's wear, children's wear, ......"
"As for the G&S brand, it is a fashion brand that draws inspiration from art, the full name is Greer Schafe, a brand owned by the company GREER SCHAFE FASHIONCO. ”
"The brand, which has always been inspired by Scandinavian street art, music and all things contemporary, respects tradition without being constrained, and exudes exquisite luxury in detail under a rugged and rustic style. What he is good at is using contrasting colors to draw on the details of clothing tailoring, constructing a relaxed and modified version of clothing, and at the same time skillfully integrating Nordic art and culture elements, its product line includes men's wear, women's wear, children's wear, shoes and other ......"
