Chapter 221: Suspicious Investors
Li Xiaohe hesitated for a moment and asked, "How to cooperate?" The white basket weaving process and quality you said are average, can you be more specific? ”
"The cooperation method adopts the same way as the processing of insoles, that is, you produce, we buy." The middle-aged man smiled, "As for my evaluation of the white basket, the township chief may have an opinion, so I might as well say it more clearly." From the villages I have visited, the quality of the raw material of the baskets, white wicker, is uneven. Some of the whitening, moth-proof, and mildew-proof processes are well done, and they are still as bright as new. Some of them really didn't dare to compliment, not only the basket was already moldy and moth-eaten, but the whole color was also gray. The shape of the basket is also different in shape, different size, and the overall shape is average, which cannot achieve the beautiful and practical effect. Now people's requirements for baskets are very different from before, and they are not only practical, but more attention is paid to the beauty of the shape......"
When the other party's talk came to an end, Li Xiaohe did not express the doubts in his heart, but responded to the other party's point of view: "This gentleman, you don't know anything. Now the villagers give you products, most of them are prepared before, and the anti-moth, anti-mildew, and whitening processes at that time are indeed not enough, and the storage time is too long, and the storage method is improper, and the appearance has such flaws. To this end, from mid-June to late July, we specially hired professionals to teach, demonstrate, and counsel, and systematically teach each link such as strip picking, material selection, pulling, drying, material selection, priming, weaving, sulfur fumigation, and finished products. In particular, the use of sulfur fumigation process has improved the whitening, moth-proofing and mildew-proof effects of the basket to a great level, and has solved the previous deficiencies.
As for the shape of the basket, it is related to the difference in skill level between individuals, but it is also related to our previous overall requirements. The craft of basket weaving in the whole township has been passed down for hundreds of years, and at that time it was mainly practical, and it was characterized by sturdiness and firmness. At the beginning of the compilation, the township did not make special requirements in terms of modeling, but only emphasized good quality and sturdy, and the villagers still compiled according to the previous understanding. It was also later, based on customer feedback and suggestions from comprehensive professionals, that people learned a lot of new styles. In fact, it is not difficult to make the basket look good technically. As long as there are specific requirements for them, most basket weavers can make it, and some will make it better. It may be that you have not been in contact with Mr., and people don't know about you, so you didn't take out the later products. ”
"Maybe, maybe people are still hiding good things, and they haven't shown them easily." The middle-aged man's tone changed suddenly, "But I have also seen a few baskets that were made later, which avoided some problems, but also reflected the gap in people's craftsmanship." Moreover, even those who do it a little better are not stable in mastering the shape of the basket, which shows that they rarely do such production, and some skills that practice makes perfect have not been cultivated. And I also found that even after that training, a lot of people's skills were not up to the mark. For example, the mastery of sulfur smoking time has a great deviation, resulting in a great reduction in the appearance of the basket and the anti-moth, anti-mildew effect, of course, this is also related to the facilities do not meet the requirements. ”
Listening to the middle-aged man's eloquent conversation, Li Xiaohe had to re-examine the other party. Due to the previous relevant information, as soon as the middle-aged man entered the house, Li Xiaohe labeled the other party: suspected of being a liar. But listening to what the other party said just now, he said that he was in the Tao, and he was very good, and he obviously had a careful understanding. He couldn't help but change his preconceived impressions, but there were still no doubts in his mind, and there were new ones.
Li Xiaohe did not directly delve into the question, but continued to refute the other party's statement euphemistically: "Although there is a saying that 'praise and disapproval are buyers', due to the different positions, the view of the problem may not be comprehensive, accurate, and even inevitably biased. Most of the customers are still very positive about our products, and they are also very willing to cooperate, and of course they have put forward some suggestions. ”
"I'm also a firm believer in the phrase 'praise and criticism are buyers', but I didn't deliberately disparage it, I just told my true opinion. It's the majority of customers you said, who are not really telling the truth, because they don't have a purchase plan. So until now, there hasn't really been a deal for this, which is telling. The middle-aged man looked like a smile.
Hearing what the other party said, Li Xiaohe couldn't help but feel unhappy: this person spoke too straight, and the villagers didn't keep their mouths open, so they even said everything to strangers. But after all, the other party was a guest from afar, Li Xiaohe did not show his dissatisfaction on his face, but changed the topic, and asked a question that had not been answered before: "This gentleman, you have a certain understanding of our products now, can you also introduce you and the company in detail." There must be detailed information, right? ”
"Oh, you mean the information, I really didn't bring it this time, I can provide a copy to the township chief later." The other party replied. Then he added, "The business card happened to be out as well." ”
If you don't have anything and can't name the company, it's clear that you're still a liar, but a liar who has done some professional homework in advance. Li Xiaohe's patience was a little worse when the other party's doubts arose, so he said lightly: "Then please bring the details as soon as possible, we have done some understanding, and then we can decide whether to ......."
"Ding Woo", the phone rang, interrupting Li Xiaohe's words. Looking at the caller ID, Li Xiaohe did not answer it immediately, but raised his head again.
The middle-aged man stood up at the right time: "Township Chief, you answer the phone and don't bother." Can I find out more about the other people? ”
"Yes. Let Township Chief Qin dock with you. Li Xiaohe said, leaning over and signaling.
Qin Mingsheng immediately got up: "Follow me." ”
"Township Chief, I'll go first." Nodding behind the table, the middle-aged man followed Qin Mingsheng and left.
At the moment of closing the door of the house, Qin Mingsheng deliberately cast his eyes at the township chief, and the two made eye contact.
……
More than an hour later, Qin Mingsheng went and returned. Straight to the desk: "The man is gone." ”
Li Xiaohe smiled: "Just left? ”
Qin Mingsheng nodded: "Just left." After going to my place, he asked for some information from our township to read, and asked many questions about those materials. Judging from his question, he seems to understand quite well about investment. ”
Li Xiaohe said "oh": "Let's talk about it specifically." ”
After reading some basic information in our township, he focused on consulting the local customs, humanities and folk customs, natural resources, etc. As for my reply, he also talked about his point of view, which seems to be on point. Then he focused on understanding the investment projects, preferential policies, and inquired about other projects. I was very careful to answer his questions, and only said something that was overtly and not secret. After listening to me, he even gave a further understanding, and many of his views were completely consistent with the actual situation. Qin Mingsheng replied.
"So do you think he's really investing?" Li Xiaohe asked rhetorically.
"If you just look at these conversations, there are many so-called investors who are experts than before." Speaking of this, Qin Mingsheng changed the topic, "It's just puzzling that he hasn't provided company details, not even a business card, and of course he hasn't left a phone number." And since he came to my office, he rarely mentioned the white basket, and when I took the initiative to bring it up, he also responded with 'I know more'. It feels like I'm not looking at the basket with people. ”
Li Xiaohe nodded slowly: "Yes, I came to the township and talked for a long time, but I couldn't provide any information, not even a business card, which is indeed a bit abnormal." ”
"Township head, in addition to asking about the topics just now, he asked me a lot about my personal situation, both work history and work, and I feel like I am engaged in a political trial." Qin Mingsheng said a new situation, "I am somewhat disgusted by his question, but it is inconvenient to show it, so I responded to some content casually. ”
"Ask you about yourself? Does he know you? Li Xiaohe couldn't help but question, "Or does anyone else know you?" ”
Qin Mingsheng shook his head again and again: "I don't know, I must have never seen this person anyway, and listening to his tone doesn't look like he knows me." I also wondered if he had found me through someone else, but after I talked to him several times, he didn't reveal the slightest bit of information, only said that he knew about it casually. After a pause, Qin Mingsheng said again, "By the way, he finally asked about the insole." ”
"What did he say?" Li Xiaohe suddenly became sensitive.
He first asked about the cooperation with Ashishita Caiyun, then asked how much stock was still there, and finally asked what we were going to do with the backlog of inventory. As for the cooperation with the colorful clouds under the foot, I didn't go into details, but I brought it in one sentence. As for the inventory, I said that if the price is right, I will sell it at the right time. Qin Mingsheng said, "He also said that he had seen our insoles, and said that most of the workmanship and patterns were average, and a pair was worth about forty yuan." ”
"Ding Bang Bang", the mobile phone rang.
"Your phone." Li Xiaohe gestured.
took out his mobile phone and looked at it, Qin Mingsheng muttered to himself, "Provincial mobile phone number", and then pressed the answer button: "Ah...... Be...... What the? …… Fifty? …… Five thousand? …… Three days? ”
After asking many questions, Qin Mingsheng replied, "Let's discuss", and hung up the phone. Then he said with a puzzled expression: "It was the phone call from the man just now, and he said that he wanted to buy us 5,000 pairs of good insoles, and a pair of 50 pairs." If we agree, they'll pick it up three days later. ”
"Huh?" Li Xiaohe couldn't help but be surprised, "Why is this?" ”
"He said that we felt that we were suspicious of his investment behavior, so we wanted to prove our sincerity with this action." Qin Mingsheng said, "Is this possible? ”
"Yes, if that's the case, the investor is even more suspicious." Li Xiaohe said slowly.
