The fat man really had a thick black taste, and immediately beckoned, "Aiter, the consumption of this gentleman and this young lady is counted in my account." β
"I'm sorry, sir, but the accounts of these two will be settled by Texas Instruments."
The waiter was very faceless, and the fat man's face turned blue in an instant: he couldn't even send a favor if he wanted to? But the next moment, he was stupid, these two Chinese were guests of the famous Texas Instruments?
Years of experience told him that this was absolutely impossible, even if the Chinese had the opportunity to cooperate with Texas Instruments, it could not be two young people who did not talk to each other, but in any case, it was impossible for the waiter to cooperate with them to lie.
"I'm sorry," the fat man's attitude finally became solemn, tugging at his suit, and his expression became very strict, "Beautiful young lady, dear sir, let me introduce myself, I am Orlando from Brazil. Rebelo, I own a 2ooo acre coffee plantation in ParanΓ‘, Brazil, and the coffee on my coffee plantation is exported to Europe and North America, and I'm also a warm-hearted, respected, and enthusiastic philanthropist, and I donate more than $10,000 a year to Brazilian charities, so trust me, I'm not a bad person. β
This guy's background is not small? But what makes Lin Zheng and Tan Na even more curious is what do you care about your coffee walkman for? Doubts are doubts, since this is called Orlando. When the owner of Rebelo's coffee plantation said this, Lin Zheng believed it, "Hello Mr. Orlando, my name is Lin Zheng, and this is my girlfriend and my partner, Miss Tanna. β
"Hello Mr. Lin, hello Miss Tan. You and Texas Instruments...... Have a partnership? Orlando asked tentatively, a little impatient, and this question was also his primary concern.
Well. It is also understandable that foreigners are all in this urgency, and it is their habit to quickly determine whether the other party has the value of cooperation, and don't waste their precious time if there is no value of cooperation.
"We are the largest customer of Texas Instruments' DSP chips and CD machine movements in our country, what do you say?" Tanna asked rhetorically.
"Texas Instruments' largest user of DSP chips and CD machine movements in China?" Orlando was taken aback, he was already surprised to learn that Texas Instruments had covered all of their expenses, but he didn't expect that even more surprising was yet to come. I couldn't help but ask cautiously, "So, your company's products are very famous in your country?" β
"Of course. We have not only gained a firm foothold under the attack of the Japanese Walkman, but also won the lawsuit with Burrbron, Sony, and Panasonic, and you should know that these companies have always done everything to deal with their competitors. β
Belch. The lawsuit with Burrbron has not yet come to fruition. But this did not prevent Tan Na from bragging about this matter at this time, and everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before Lisheng Electronics won the lawsuit with Burrbron.
Of course, Orlando knew, not only did he know, but even he had such an experience, and it was precisely because of this that he was incredulous that these two young people's companies were able to win the lawsuit against the international audio-visual chip giant Burrbron, and win the lawsuit against Sony and Panasonic, "Oh my God." No, did you really win the case against them? β
Winning a lawsuit against such an international giant? To Orlando, this is simply unimaginable.
But Orlando's skeptical attitude suddenly made Tanna a little unhappy. "Of course, Mr. Orlando, if you have friends in our country, you can ask them and I'm sure they'll know about it...... As for Burrbron's malicious breach of contract, we have already sued Burrbron in the United States, and if you pay a little attention, you will definitely know that Burrbron is on the cusp of the storm, and life is very difficult. β
ββ¦β¦ Okay," since Tan Na dared to say this, it meant that they were not afraid to verify it themselves, and he had just believed only thirty percent of Lin Zheng and Tan Na's words, and he suddenly increased the credibility of the two young people's words to sixty percent, and sixty percent of the credibility was enough to lower his posture, "Mr. Lin, Miss Tan, since your company produces Walkmans, can you sell me some." β
"Of course, no problem, how many do you want?" Lin Zheng asked without thinking, but he was still a little curious, "But there should be a distributor for Japanese walkmans in Brazil, why do you ...... Hmmm......"
There is no need to say it too directly, Orlando immediately understood the meaning of Lin Zheng's words, and when he heard that Lin Zheng had the intention of selling to himself, he was immediately overjoyed, and quickly explained, "No, no, no, you misunderstood, I mean that I want to become the general agent of your company in Brazil...... Of course, whether to be the general agent of your company, I need to see your company's products in person, and make a final decision after comprehensively understanding the price, sound quality and quality. β
When it came to money, Mr. Orlando was immediately wary.
"To be the general agent of our Lisheng Electronics?" Lin Zheng's brows suddenly furrowed, he is a coffee plantation owner, I believe that it is unlikely that he will have no experience in the distribution of electronic products, what made him make the decision to act as an agent for the Lisheng Walkman?
Orlando's last sentence seemed more like wanting to cover it up in Lin Zheng's eyes, but why? Brazil's GDP ranking is seventh in the world, one place higher than China's.
"Is Brazil's electronics industry so poor?" Tan Na touched Lin Zheng lightly, and asked Lin Zheng in a low voice in Chinese, "This Orlando looks like he's in a hurry." β
Electronics industry in Brazil...... Tan Na's words were like a bolt of lightning that instantly lit up Lin Zheng's mind, setting off waves in his heart: he was a pig's head, and he forgot about this!
In 1994, Brazil, which had reached the seventh place in the world in terms of GDP, was extremely uneven in the three major industries of agriculture, industry and services. Why did Rebelo want to find a Japanese to buy a Walkman, he didn't want to find a Japanese to buy those high-end Walkmans, but wanted to buy some cheap Walkmans to sell in Brazil.
For example, a mine owner in Brazil, after completing the transaction with a Chinese partner, did not want cash, but entrusted his Chinese partner to help him use the money to purchase a batch of MP3, headphones, U disks, blank discs and other electronic products, all of which were packed in 1o containers.
It is said that after the batch of electronic products was delivered to the port of Brazil, the news was heard that the customers waiting there were snapped up early, and the mine owner made a full double profit as a result.
At that time, Lin Zheng was still joking with a few subordinates, saying that if we can't do it in the future, we can also be well-off by selling MP3, MP4, U disks, headphones and other electronic products to Brazil.
It's just that at that time, I just said that, and the various news I heard in Huaqiangbei every day was so finger-inspiring, who would care about such a trivial matter? If it weren't for Orlando's anxious state of mind at the moment and Tan Na's inadvertent reminder, Lin Zheng would have almost forgotten what he had heard before, but now...... Hehe......
Gently patted Tan Na's hand, signaling her to feel at ease, and then shook her head gently, "Mr. Orlando, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, I roughly guessed your thoughts, but I'm sorry, I'm afraid our products are not affordable for you, Lisheng Electronics' Walkman is not cheap, and our requirements for agents and dealers are also very harsh." β
"What? Lin, are you kidding me? Hearing Lin Zheng's words, Orlando wondered if there was something wrong with his ears: the Chinese in front of him actually said to himself that their Walkman was not cheap? This is simply the funniest joke I have heard today, and who does not know that the Chinese have always been famous for exporting cheap light industrial products?
"No kidding, the products we sell in China are probably different from your impression, we produce the most high-end domestic walkman in China, even if it is the lowest grade product, the retail price is as high as 168 yuan RMB, equivalent to ...... Well, around 19.4 US dollars, the price of our flagship CD Walkman is as high as 888 yuan RMB, which is already 1oo US dollars when converted into US dollars, which is still the price in our country, if it is in Brazil, counting shipping and customs duties, Mr. Orlando, do you think that with the consumption level of ordinary people in Brazil, they can afford to buy products in this price range? β
How so? Orlando. Rebelo was surprised, in his impression, the products of these two Chinese were at most more than 1o dollars, in any case, he did not expect that the price of the highest-grade products would be more than 1oo dollars, God, at least the young man in front of him was not wrong, in Brazil. There are really not many people who can afford a walkman at this price, Brazil is one of the countries with the strictest polarization between rich and poor, and their initial idea was just to buy some cheap electronic products and make a fortune in Brazil, when they are agents in Brazil? Come on! I'm Orlando. Rebelo is a coffee plantation owner.
This price made Orlando hesitate.
At this moment, he completely forgot his original intention at the beginning: if he could find a Japanese who could connect with several major electronic product manufacturers in Japan, purchase a batch of Walkmans, headphones and other things with a price of between 3o US dollars and 2oo US dollars, and ship them to Brazil and then change hands, he could immediately make a lot of money.
Tan Na's mouth opened slightly, she didn't understand for a while, why did it seem that Lin Zheng seemed to be planning to scare this guy away?
