Chapter Ninety-Eight (33) Wine Table

The white young man moved very slowly, his fingers pressed on the button of the hydraulic game machine, and when he pressed it gently, the small wooden circle drifted with the gushing water column. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

A satisfied smile appeared on his face.

He laughed not because of how fun the little toy in front of him was, but because he was too disappointed in this backward country.

He is 24 years old this year, very young, working in a toy distribution company, the company itself is not engaged in production, all the toys sold, all purchased from foreign factories.

When the small boss told him that he was going to send him to Asia to take charge of the purchase of toys in Asia, although he was a little uneasy, he was more excited.

This is the image of Asia in his mind. Tokyo, Japan, an exotic and bustling metropolis.

However, when he got off the plane with his suitcase, he suddenly found that the place where he landed was not Japan, let alone Tokyo. It's China, it's Beijing.

When he was stared at by a group of yellow-skinned, monochromatic clothes with the eyes of onlookers watching the exotic beasts in the Beijing-Beijing Zoo, his heart was broken.

Stay in the Friendship Hotel and contact the country immediately.

The small boss on the other end of the phone said that China is a big country that has just opened up and has a population of 800 million. Whether as a place of production or as a place of future sales. It's a vast market.

As a pathfinder for the company, you should be honored that the company has chosen you. Now, I appoint you as the CEO of the company in China, and you will have access to use 100,000 US dollars.

Nick deeply felt that he had been deceived by the small boss, but when he got to China, he was in China. Judging from what he has seen and heard along the way, although it is poor, backward, and rustic, the law and order are not bad. At the very least, there is no need to worry about life safety.

Many of the ordinary people dressed in old-fashioned monochrome clothes had bright smiles on their faces. It is a country that is poor but vibrant.

The U.S. dollars on his body were forcibly exchanged for foreign exchange coupons, and after eating and staying at the Friendship Hotel for a few days, he found that the food here was quite delicious and the price was not expensive, even if it was a good choice for tourism, at least he felt that it was worth the ticket price.

A few days passed in such a leisurely time, and he finally remembered that he was not here for vacation, but for work.

So, where to find a manufacturer of toys?

As soon as he told him about his needs and the waiter, the waiter didn't take long to tell him that there was a provincial trade fair being held, and asked him if he wanted to go, and if he did, the hotel could handle the train ticket on his behalf.

At 5 p.m. on August 3, Nick left the Friendship Hotel and boarded a train to Shanqi Province at 7 p.m.

The green train is not fast, and in the soft sleeper compartment, there is only him.

Walk through endless farmlands and through one small town after another. In the early morning of August 5, he finally arrived at Qiyang City, the capital of Shanqi Province.

With a letter of introduction from the Friendship Hotel and a note of Chinese address, at noon, he came to the site of the Shanqi Provincial Trade Fair.

The rain was hazy, washing away the heat. Nick, who was wearing short sleeves, entered the Qi meeting venue.

The first thing that catches his eye after entering is silk, which he is not interested in, and then it is Chinese porcelain, and further inside, it is some dried local products. Further inside, there are all kinds of machinery and equipment.

At this moment, Nick sighed in his heart. Backward, rustic, and clichΓ©d, this is how he summed up everything he saw at this trade fair.

It's not that these things are bad, in fact, some of the silk in the center of the venue has been seen in the United States. This can confirm that these things are definitely marketable.

However, the company he works for is a toy dealer, not a silk fabric dealer, and no matter how good these things are, no matter how widely they are sold, they don't mean anything to him.

Let's see if we can find any toys.

With that in mind, Nick walked around the venue. No matter which corner of the booth it is, he has to see it.

The more I looked, the cooler I became, almost all the booths had nothing to do with toys.

Until, when he passed by a corner again, he saw a water-powered game machine on a small booth.

Water, games. He said it silently in his mind.

Nick asked if he could try it out, and after getting permission, he picked up the hydraulic game console and played with the three-no product with no production date, no quality license, and no manufacturer.

Toy!

Toy indeed!

And a new toy he'd never seen before!

Nick's face was filled with excitement, and he began to judge the console he had never seen before, through the eyes of a toy salesperson.

It's easy to get started, and you can play without reading the instructions. This means that it has a wide audience.

It's fun, it can be played for a long time, and it's not the kind of toy that will make people lose interest in a short time.

The gameplay is novel, and similar products have never been on the market, which is easy to attract the attention of consumers. Even if you don't have a complete product line, the sales in the early stage will be good.

The only problem is that the structure of the toy is not too complicated and can be easily imitated. Such a toy would be sold for three to five dollars.

In this case...... What is the price of his trade?

Nick put down the water-powered console in his hand and looked at the nameplate of the sales price.

A dollar!

Nick's smile widened when he saw the one in front of the dollar sign. This is better than a business, my luck is really good, I came to China less than a week ago, I found a new toy with good playability.

Could it be that China is my lucky place?

Nick put down the water console and looked up at the rest of his life, thinking about how to communicate with the teenager.

………………

"Let one go, let one go." The steady Yu Tiecheng shouted a rare voice.

Orders are counted! This is what Yu Tiecheng thinks in his heart at this moment.

The leaflet has a function, more than 300 leaflets, and when more than 50 copies were left, a foreign businessman from Brazil found Yu Tiecheng, pointed to the seeder diagram on the order, and said a lot.

"This is it." Yu Tiecheng didn't care whether the foreign businessman could understand it or not, so he took the seeder off the booth and put it in front of the foreign businessman.

"Dad." Yu Sheng shouted.

"What's wrong? I'm busy here, so you can find a translator quickly. Yu Tiecheng said quickly.

"Dad, I also have a foreign businessman here, and he has a water game machine." Yu Sheng said.

"What?" Yu Tiecheng turned his head with surprise on his face, looked at Nick, and then urged Yu Shengdao, "Then go find two translators, quick!" Don't let foreign businessmen wait in a hurry. ”

"Okay! I'll go! The rest of his life also spoke faster, and he trotted with a step.

Nick looked at the father and son dumbfounded, unsure of what was going on.

"Could it be transferred?" Sun Hongqi touched his oily chin and muttered.

Sun Yuejin, who was beside him, heard his father's words and said, "What kind of luck, these two foreign businessmen are here to tease them." Dad, look at that foreign businessman, he doesn't have much to look at the seeding machine at all, and the other foreign businessman looks so young, has no hair on his mouth, and can't do things well. ”

"That's right." Sun Hongqi touched his chin and responded to his son's words, his eyes narrowed, not knowing what he was thinking.

There are quite a few translators in charge of this film, about 30 of them, and at least one translator from Korean and Japanese to English and Spanish.

For example, English is spoken in a wide range of countries, and there are even more translators.

The rest of my life brought back two English translators.

"I'm in charge of talking about seeders, and you're talking about water-powered game machines." Yu Tiecheng said. In his opinion, the seeder is the king, and the hydraulic game machine that his son made, even if he can get foreign exchange orders, the amount will not be too large.

With the help of a translator, Nick and Yu Sheng struck up a conversation.

Nick was very clear about his willingness to place orders for the rest of his life, but he was hesitant to place many orders now.

What should I do if I order too much and the sales are not good.

What should I do if I order less and the sales are too good.

If it is the former, not only does it cost a lot of money in vain, but it also takes up a lot of manpower and inventory. If it's the latter, it's time for competitors to look for imitations.

How do you decide......

Nick thought in his head, I have the authority of 100,000 yuan, or else take a gamble and invest all this 100,000 dollars in this product?

Nick picked up the hydro console and thought.

"Don't ...... Don't go...... It could be a little cheaper. Yu Tiecheng is like a small vendor setting up a stall, and he said something to save him.

The Brazilian businessman glanced back, shook his head, and walked away.

"Dad, look, I'm right." Sun Yuejin said to his father, "There is still the hairless one on his mouth, and I think he wants to be yellow." ”

Yu Tiecheng put the planter back, picked up the leaflets, and prepared to continue handing out the leaflets.

At this time, Nick spoke, "I placed an order of 100,000 dollars, how long will it take you to deliver it all." ”

"I place an order of $100,000, how long will it take you to deliver it all......"

The level of female translators is very high, almost to the level of simultaneous interpretation. When she subconsciously finished translating this sentence, she felt that something was wrong and hurriedly shut up. Confirmed it again with Nick.

After confirming that it was correct, the female translator repeated the sentence.

"This ...... It's a joke. It must be a joke! Sun Yuejin jumped to his feet.

Sun Hongqi, who was beside him, was in a sluggish state with his mouth slightly open.

Not only Sun Hongqi, but Yu Tiecheng was also stunned by this sudden news.

"Is it FOB or CIF please?" Yu Sheng asked.

Nick thought about it, since the little boss cheated himself and cheated himself to China, he was in charge of himself, and it would be better for him to cheat him again.

"FOB, but the transportation costs need to wait for the arrival of the goods before settlement."

"Well, I'm fine. Is it possible to sign a contract of intent now? Yu Sheng asked.

"Yes." Nick nodded slightly.

The person in charge of the contract came over, took out the template contract, made three copies, and signed it.

Yu Sheng shook Nick's hand and said that the cooperation was pleasant. And both parties called their contact information and contact address.

"Can I take this?" Nick asked, holding up a sample of the hydro game console.

"Absolutely." Yu Sheng replied.

After Nick left, Yu Sheng called Yu Tiecheng, "Dad." ”

"What's wrong?" Yu Tiecheng was a little confused.

"Dad, do you have any money on you?" Yu Sheng asked.

"Yes."

"Take it out."

"Oh." Yu Tiecheng took out a few sheets of unity from his pocket.

I didn't look at it for the rest of my life, grabbed it all, and ran outside. Caught up with the translator and the person in charge of the contract who were walking back.

Responsible for the translator and person in charge of the water power game machine, Yu Sheng gave three big solidarity alone. And the guy who was in charge of negotiating business with the Brazilian businessman just now also stuffed one.

On the way back, he held his head high, and when he passed by platform two, he tilted his head slightly, and muttered to the stone carving, "Impossible, impossible." Sun Hongqi said.

"I'm trash? $100,000 order, can you? ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for him to answer, and walked away with a smile.

At 6 p.m. on August 5, 1983, the first Shanqi Provincial Trade Fair was successfully concluded.

At this fair, a total of 632 contracts of intent were signed, and the transaction amount is expected to exceed 7 million US dollars.

Among them, the largest contribution is silk fabrics, followed by traditional handicrafts and local products.

There are not many orders in the machinery manufacturing industry. Among them, the $100,000 water game machine order of Qingtai Machinery No. 3 Factory is the largest order in terms of transaction volume. He was praised by the leaders of the provincial government.

"Brother Tiecheng, the third factory is doing well in your hands." After the closing ceremony, the deputy director of the first factory walked over and talked to Yu Tiecheng.

"Average." Yu Tiecheng said modestly.

"Average? Your brother Yu's orders for $100,000 are average, what have we done? Everyone said no. The deputy director of the first factory said with a smile.

"yes."

"yes." The entourage around the deputy director of the first factory echoed one after another.

"By the way, Brother Tie Cheng, how did you develop this hydraulic game machine, let's talk about it, we're very curious." The deputy director of the first factory asked.

What he said to Yu Tiecheng in the past few years was not as much as it is today. Seeing Yu Tiecheng in a meeting as usual was like seeing a transparent person, and he swept by. At this moment, today, he and Yu Tiecheng are talking and laughing, and they look like old acquaintances, which is nothing more than Yu Tiecheng's Qingtai No. 3 Factory has been praised by the provincial leaders.

Yu Tiecheng smiled modestly, he didn't take the credit for his son, he pulled the rest of his life behind him over and said, "This hydraulic game machine has nothing to do with me, it was all made by this kid in my family." ”

"Good! Good! The deputy director of the first factory shouted, his fat big hand slapped on the shoulder of Yu Sheng, and said with a smile, "Okay, the tiger father has no dogs, Lao Tzu is a hero, not bad, not bad."

Brother Tie Cheng, I have always thought that you are a good person and very capable, but I didn't expect children to be so powerful. It's worth learning from. Do you have any experience to talk to you about, those of us who are leaders are busy, going out early and returning late all day. If you can manage the employees, you can't take care of the children. Or do you have a way to come out of the army? ”

"I don't have any experience, just let him study hard, nothing else but this. This kid is not angry, he didn't get into college, so he knew that he was playing some crooked things. Brother, you don't know, when he came up with this hydraulic game machine, I gave him a good lecture, and finally, he said that he wanted to let it meet together. I don't agree, he gave a military order. ”

Yu Tiecheng did not add oil and vinegar, and said according to the facts.

"Oh? Military writ? Tell us about it. The deputy director of the first factory said.

Yu Tiecheng was just about to start talking, but the director of the second factory interjected, and he said, "Brother Tiecheng, don't be busy talking about it first, everyone has been busy at the exhibition for a day." I think so, let's find a restaurant and let's sit down and talk while eating. I have a lot to say to you, brother. ”

"Oh, yes! Blame me! The deputy director of the first factory patted his head and said apologetically, "Lao Zhang is right, let's find a restaurant to eat and chat." ”

The directors of these machinery factories in Qingtai Port, together with their followers, left in a swarm.

On the way to the hotel, Sun Yuejin whispered to his father Sun Hongqi, "Dad, it's not okay for the two of us to go, do you want to go." ”

"Shut up! What nonsense. You should take care of it, when will I let you provoke the Yu family boy. Sun Hongqi reprimanded.

When Yu Sheng asked Sun Yuejin who was the waste, Sun Hongqi next to him heard it clearly.

Afterwards, he asked what had happened, and he was angry and angry. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many people in the court, he might have untied his belt and smoked Sun Yuejin, the unlucky child.

He whispered to his son at the time, don't be evil with others. In this world, there are sedan chairs and people carrying people. If you don't treat others well, everything will be fine when you are in power, and when you lose power, you will be pushed by everyone. No matter where the cats and dogs come from, they want to step on you.

Aren't you also mocking his father for the rest of his life, Sun Yuejin asked.

Childish, you know what.

"Brother Yu really lived up to the trust of more than 1,000 employees in the third factory, and he really got a foreign exchange order, which is still a large order of 100,000 US dollars. Congratulations. Come, this cup is for you. Sun Hongqi raised a glass of liquor and said.

As soon as the cup was touched, Yu Tiecheng drank it all.

Yu Sheng sat at the wine table, didn't talk much, he didn't drink, ate quietly, and even yawned slightly.

This is also something that can't be helped, yesterday he and his father drew flyers until nearly the early hours of the morning, and today there is a day, so it's no wonder that he is not sleepy.

Moreover, he is not very interested in this kind of thing at the wine table. He was now thinking about how he could take another step towards video games.

These days, the more he looks at the video game notebook, the more complicated he finds video games. To put it simply, video games are a new art form based on the electronic industry and combined with music, art, literature, film and other cultural content.

According to the video game notebook, video games are the "ninth art" after the eight art forms of painting, sculpture, architecture, music, literature, dance, theater, and film.

Although the early days of video games were not complicated and relatively simple, how could I make a video game console if I didn't even have the most basic knowledge of electricity?

It seems that I have to tell my father about this matter and let him help find a way.

Thinking of this, Yu Sheng raised his head, and just happened to see Sun Hongqi raising his wine glass to himself.

"Big nephew, give your uncle Sun a face, have a drink." Sun Hongqi raised his glass and said.

"Have a drink!"

"Have a drink!" All the heads and brains at the wine table were already happy, and they coaxed regardless of their image.

Although he didn't like Sun Hongqi for the rest of his life, and even said that he hated it, just like he hated stuffing money for translators, there were some things that he didn't like but couldn't help but do.

Yu Sheng raised his head and drank the small amount of liquor in the wine glass.

"Good! Great nephew is good! Sun Hongqi shouted.

He rarely drank alcohol for the rest of his life, and soon he got on his head and his face turned red.

Sun Hongqi looked at it almost, and glanced at his son, Sun Yuejin nodded. Sun Hongqi continued to beckon Yu Tiecheng to drink.

Sun Yuejin took advantage of Yu Tiecheng being pestered to drink and drunk for the rest of his life, pretending to be nothing, walked to Yu Tiecheng's side, quietly took Yu Tiecheng's briefcase on the chair behind him, and walked out of the private room quickly.

Less than two minutes later, Sun Yuejin came back and made a look at Sun Hongqi.

Sun Hongqi nodded with satisfaction and continued to beckon Yu Tiecheng to drink. (To be continued.) )
