Chapter 20 Jincheng Exhibition
After dating Xiaobai Xiaoya, Zhao Hongbing didn't take the next step, he saw that Lu Xiaoya didn't seem to have any special meaning for himself, if he was too anxious, he felt a little hot and cold.
Moreover, he is in a critical period of starting his career, and he does not have much energy and time to be busy with emotional matters.
Two days later, Zhao Hongbing bought a train to Jincheng to attend the Wujiaohua Supply Fair held in Jincheng in September.
For this meeting, Zhao Hongbing did not expect much, on the one hand, although he was a northerner, he had no connections in a big northern city like Jincheng; On the other hand, the dozens of customers he is in contact with have not disclosed their intention to place orders for the time being.
However, Zhao Hongbing still has to make a trip, although Boss Lin's company is full of procurement plans for next month, but he recommended a friend to Zhao Hongbing, and Haicheng Station also has to participate in the Jincheng meeting, although this task is mainly procurement, how much can still come up with a little goods.
As long as there is a glimmer of business hope, Zhao Hongbing does not want to miss it, some big business is generated in inadvertent opportunities, he is still in the initial stage of his career, and he urgently needs funds to snowball, this kind of opportunity can not be let go.
Autumn in Jincheng is full of depression in the north, and the same will be true for this supply meeting. Although after the popularity of the Haicheng Conference, there were a particularly large number of units participating in the Jincheng Conference, but what was unexpected was that the prices of many goods did not rise in the first two days but fell, and some rumors circulated among the merchants, saying that the state had finally taken action to regulate and control the relevant units, strictly ordered the relevant units to control the soaring prices, and at the same time increased the supply of materials to stabilize the relationship between supply and demand.
Falling prices coupled with the invasion of rumors, the daily trading volume of the Jincheng Supply Association is extremely light, and after the week-long meeting, the total amount of the supply and marketing contract signed is less than one-third of the Haicheng meeting.
Many people began to hesitate again, they thought that after the state took action, abnormal prices would be controlled, even if they would not plummet, they would not rise again, and their willingness to buy goods suddenly became low.
Such a situation has increased the difficulty of Zhao Hongbing to find effective customers, he has kept in touch with many customers, including many powerful people, but in the end, most of them have not negotiated cooperation, and in the end only two transactions have been made: one is the friend introduced by Mr. Lin - Boss Liu, who operates mechanical and electrical equipment in Shenzhen; The other is Zhao Hongbing's local development customer in Jincheng, self-employed Yang Laoshi.
Boss Liu, out of trust in Mr. Lin and his appreciation of Zhao Hongbing's ability after contact, ordered 300,000 goods, and he originally planned to order 1 million during the meeting, but the sudden change of situation made him change his mind temporarily.
Yang Laoshi ordered less, only a small contract of 70,000 yuan, not that he was afraid of falling prices, in fact, Yang Laoshi agreed with Zhao Hongbing's opinion - prices will experience at least one round before the end of the year - skyrocketing, not that he doesn't want to order more, but he only has 70,000 yuan, and these money are still scraped together by relatives and friends.
Yang Laoshi's real name is Yang Aijun, he was originally a middle school teacher, his lover is also a teacher, and later saw the neighbors do self-employed stalls and made a fortune, the two of them were red and jealous, and they went to the sea on a temporary basis to think about Mr. Yang, and the initial performance was good, and he made a little money by selling daily necessities on the ground, but his vision was getting wider and wider, and his appetite was getting bigger and bigger, so he was not satisfied with small fights, so he scraped together tens of thousands, and wanted to find the right opportunity to make a big pen, it was at this time that he met Zhao Hongbing, and was successfully fooled by the other party.
There should be a lot of examples like Yang Laoshi in this era, but they are not as lucky as Yang Laoshi, they met Zhao Hongbing, according to Zhao Hongbing's memory, there was indeed a round at the end of 87 - skyrocketing, and the price correction at this time may be to build momentum for the skyrocketing.
Only signed a contract of less than 400,000 yuan, Zhao Hongbing was a little disappointed, before he came, he was worried that the supply was not enough, but he didn't expect Haicheng Station Section Chief Wang to finally squeeze out a quota of 1 million, but the result was not enough customers, and finally he was ruthless, and took out the 400,000 or so own funds that had just arrived and had not yet been hot, and made up a total of 800,000 contracts.
Although there is confidence in the future, such a big gamble is still risky, because there is no guarantee of the price in the next one or two months, Zhao Hongbing and Wang Section Chief discussed, the remaining more than 400,000 goods will be handled according to the futures contract, Zhao Hongbing has a month of the right to pick up the goods, within a month the price is stable or rising, if he can find a suitable customer, the transaction is profitable, otherwise he still needs to find a way to deal with this batch of goods when it expires.
The bottom line is that the current situation is not good.
If you look at it this way, it is actually very risky, so Section Chief Wang persuaded: "Although the contract has been signed, it is still too late to regret it, you think about it, if you regret it, I will operate the procedures." ”
Zhao Hongbing thanked Wang Ke for taking care of him, but insisted on his opinion: "The customer who invested this money has confidence in me, I can't be without confidence, according to the current policy, as well as the analysis of supply and demand, I insist that prices will continue to rise, so this kind of contract with the right to pick up goods within a limited time is more beneficial to me." ”
Section Chief Wang admired the courage and courage of this young man, but he consciously changed his position and would never dare to gamble like this, and sincerely hoped that he could succeed, so he said: "Although it is my own family, I still have to act according to the principle, and you must first send the cash before the contract can take effect." ”
Zhao Hongbing did not waver in the slightest, and said: "There is no problem, 800,000 cash can be called today, except for 370,000, the goods will be picked up immediately, and the other goods will be held for a period of time." ”
Section Chief Wang approved the goods with the Jincheng company, so it was shipped in the Jincheng warehouse, just when the big country has returned, Zhao Hongbing and the big country stared at the warehouse all day long, meticulously helped Boss Liu and Yang honestly to see the goods and inspect the goods, coordinate the loading, and also mixed with some administrators of the Jincheng warehouse.
Among them, Yang Laoshi's goods are some daily necessities, the most trivial, Zhao Hongbing in order to play the first shot into the Jincheng market, almost is to take out the serious and responsible attitude of the retail people, each item of goods are personally inspected, if the product is not qualified and unsatisfied, it will be stalked with the warehouse management, grinding people to replace the goods, sometimes get next to Yang Laoshi are a little embarrassed, Zhao Hongbing is still the same, three days later the 70,000 goods are all out, the warehouse person in charge of Lao Li joked: Your 70,000 goods, It's more troublesome than seven million people, and it's tiring to walk.
Of course, Zhao Hongbing will do things, although it troubled them for a few days, but cigarettes and alcohol are absolutely indispensable, and in the end, one person sealed a red envelope, so that everyone is happy, everyone is happy, and he has accumulated contacts.
Boss Liu appreciated it very much and said frankly to Zhao Hongbing: Your efficiency and serious attitude, next time I am willing to take the goods with you even if the price is a little higher than the market price.
In fact, Zhao Hongbing's reputation has been passed on by Yang Laoshi and his family to their group of self-employed friends, which is the accumulation of goodwill.
After the Jincheng meeting, prices did not plummet as people expected, but the prices on the market showed a rising momentum, and Section Chief Wang, who had returned to Haicheng, made a special call to Zhao Hongbing, congratulating him on his vision, and at the same time persuading him to accept it when he saw it and act early.
Zhao Hongbing was more determined to cover the goods, what does the upward trend mean again, indicating that the country has no intention of taking action to regulate it, in this way, when most people react, the price will definitely skyrocket again.
