If you get unimaginable trust, you will also encounter unimaginable obstacles
When Ning Qian asked how many days there were in this exhibition, Cordula replied with a smile: "There are four days in total, today is the first day, and there are three more days to come." ”
"For the next three days, I'll be your translator, free of charge." Aimee volunteered.
"It's wonderful! Then we'll see you here tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning. ”
Cordula, who returned to the hotel, happily told the other German toy companies that she had found a good translator for free, and everyone was amazed, how could such a good thing happen? Cordula also said, "I'm not a random person, and I don't know how to turn to this girl so quickly." In addition to her enthusiasm, she also gave me an inexplicable sense of closeness. She is willing to take the initiative to help me for free, which is really rare and I am really lucky! ”
As soon as Aimee got home, she called a friend in Ernison: "Could you please help me see the market situation in the toy industry?" The more detailed the appointment. My friend agreed. Three hours later, a friend called: "No, the toy industry, there is no information." "Aimee, who has been engaged in FMCG for so many years, is really stunned: is there such a primitive and barren consumer goods category? Even Ernisson's people can't find any market information?
If Aimee only instinctively wanted to help Cordula when she agreed to be a translator, at this moment, she had a new perspective: why not take this opportunity to learn about the toy industry?
The next day, Ning Qian got up early in the morning, cleaned up and dressed up, and was still a little nervous: "Da Baibai, I haven't been to work for a long time, and now I'm going to the exhibition to help Cordula, I don't know if I can handle it." ”
Bai Tian hugged Ning Qian back to the mirror and asked, "Look who is in the mirror?" ”
"Do you want to say: don't look at whose wife this is?" Ning Qian was triumphant.
"What's going on? You're really a roundworm in my stomach, and you'll know whatever I think about it. Bai Tian gently tugged Ning Qian's nose, helpless.
"When the roundworm in your stomach doesn't know everything, it has to live in your heart." Ning Qian turned around and drew a heart on Bai Tian's chest with her fingers.
"Of course, coriander baby, of course you live in my heart." Bai Tian hugged her and hugged her tightly to his chest: "Follow your heart and do whatever you want, you have a husband, you have Bai Day, you have this me who loves you all the time." ”
"Alas, you can't really act in idol dramas like this, husband, although I am very moved, will you be too sensy like this?" Ning Qian couldn't help laughing.
"I like to spoil my wife, I like to confess to my wife all the time, no one can stop me, including my wife." After saying that, both of them laughed.
This is the first time that the two of them went out together in a working state after having a baby, and sent Ning Qian to the door of the exhibition center during the day, and shook her hand tightly: "Coriander, just enjoy it, just be happy!" Don't get too tired. ”
As soon as Ning Qian took up her post, she was immediately energetic and high-spirited, and her state of courage was not diminished. Defeng's small toy booth was quickly crowded. There is an endless stream of people who ask if they can buy samples, how much they cost, and where they can buy them. Cordula was very pleased: all day yesterday, everyone who passed by the booth could only stare at her and had to shake their heads and leave, but today as soon as Aimee came, the guests immediately stayed and gathered. Every time Aimee heard a question, she turned around and asked if Cordula could answer like that? After receiving permission, smile and patiently answer the customer. The questions were all the same, and soon, Aimee didn't have to ask Cordula anymore, and she was able to handle it alone.
Interestingly, it was only the third time someone asked, "Where can I buy it?" Cordula asked Aimee to reply: "In the Chinese market, you can just look for me." Aimee thought to herself, "Isn't it said that it is difficult for Germans to accept someone else all at once?" Cordula, you don't know anything about me but my name. ”
There are a lot of people coming and going in the booth, especially a few toy wholesalers from Wenzhou, who came several times a day, saying that they want to be the agent of Defeng. Aimee asked them about their current business scale, and Xiao Xing, the leader, replied that the annual turnover was more than 500 million, which surprised Aimee: Just these buddies, can they achieve more than 500 million? Is this industry so big? Can't you?
There is also an old Xia who runs his own toy factory, and he came three times in one day, and each time he came to tell Ning Qian to keep the sample for him, and he wanted to buy it. There was a big-eyed, taciturn man standing beside him, and Ning Qian asked him, and he said that he called him Xiaobao. When Lao Xia and Ning Qian were in a god's way, Xiao Bao listened to Ning Qian's reply without blinking, and looked seriously like a first-grade elementary school freshman.
With Aimee's care, after a day of exhibition, the cooperation between Cordula and Aimee has been very tacit. Aimee is very careful, whether it is business reception, or two meals a day, they are properly arranged, which makes other German booth people envious, and from time to time they come to Cordula to borrow Aimee for help, which makes Cordula very proud!
Cordula told Aimee that Raum, Dewind's general manager in charge of production in Germany, planned to visit a factory in Kunshan tomorrow, but there was some problem with contact, and he didn't connect with the factory, but he was going to Shanghai tonight. If it flies, how wasteful and ugly! Aimee quickly inquired about the contact information of the factory, connected with the other party, and confirmed that the factory would send a car to pick up Raum tomorrow morning and send him back to the hotel in Shanghai in the afternoon.
The next day, Raum's visit went smoothly and he even made it to the show in time. He stayed at the booth for a long time. Cordula told Raum that without Aimee's coordination, he wouldn't have been able to go to the factory and would have had to make a trip for nothing. Cordula's admiration for Aimee was already beyond words, which made Aimee very encouraged, she called Ma Jun and told him that she wanted to fight for the general agency of Defeng in China, and she must not operate in her personal capacity, can she use his company name to get it?
Ma Jun was enthusiastic: "Of course you can!" It's not easy for people to come all the way to the Germans, so you invite them to dinner tomorrow, and I'll arrange a car here to pick you up at the end of the exhibition, and you take them to the Bund. Ma Jun also deliberately emphasized that he would put the company's name on the car body to highlight the company's image and strength.
At the end of the exhibition every day, there was a crowd of people, and there was no taxi at all, so Ma Jun could think of sending a car over and letting Ning Qian take the Germans to eat and visit the Bund, which was really intimate!
At the end of the day, Aimee said solemnly to Cordula and Raum, "If you can take up an hour of your time tomorrow, I want to share my thoughts with you." They both said happily, "Of course!" ”
Aimee, who returned home, played with Xiaolun first, and has been away from home for the past two days, seeing the baby, my heart hurts, and I can't kiss enough. It wasn't until Xiao Lun fell asleep that she sat at her desk and began to draw up a business plan for the Chinese market based on her experience and experience in the past two days. Although she likes to be concise and concise, she controlled this document to only one A4 paper, but she carefully wrote it until the early hours of the morning.
The next day, when Aimee told Cordula and Raum what he thought before giving them the summary business plan, they looked at each other. Cordula was excited: "Aimee, you know what? Since 1982, I have been coming to China to participate in various exhibitions, just to find a suitable general agent, but it has been 20 years before I met you. In the past, no matter what the exhibition, there were actually many people who came to see and ask, but at most they came to the booth a few more times and talked to me a few times, and some people didn't ask anything, and they entered a 20-foot cabinet and never heard from me. There is no one like you, from the very beginning, who directly sees himself as one of us, works with us, and makes such a complete and professional business plan. ”
"This plan you made is something we haven't seriously thought about, let alone done. We're sure you can do a good job! ”
"You work with us and give us a chance to see up close how you do things and what kind of person you are." Raum was also impressed.
"I have never done business in the past, let alone opened my own company, and I can't say how much financial strength I have, but I am a mother who has just given birth to a baby, and I make toys for my own children, and I will serve my children with a mother's heart and all my might."
Aimee didn't tell them about her previous work experience in Youjia, and she was worried that if she said it, she would lose the face of Youjia if she didn't do it well.
The exhibition is coming to an end in the afternoon, and according to the regulations, all the samples can be sold. In the past few days, the samples of the Defeng booth have been ordered, and in the afternoon, the guests began to come to pick up the goods one after another.
Samples sent to Hefei, Harbin, and Beijing, Ning Qian and them found a logistics company to pack and ship.
Xiao Xing came again in the afternoon and expressed his determination to be a moral agent. Aimee saw that they were so sincere, and immediately made an appointment with them to visit.
Lao Xia and Xiaobao are here again. Lao Xia wanted to buy a few samples before, and Cordula said that he didn't look like a consumer and didn't want to sell them to him. For the sake of how many times he had come, Cordula finally relented. With the help of Aimee, he sent the samples away, but he came back on purpose, stood on the booth, and said loudly to Aimee: "Miss Ning, you can help me tell these two Germans: I will definitely make their samples!" Aimee was taken aback: "Mr. Xia, don't think so, it's illegal." ”
"What is the law? We Chinese, what we are best at is imitation, you tell them: I will definitely make the same product as them! The more Lao Xia spoke, the more excited he became, and he waved his fists excitedly.
Ning Qian tried to explain to Lao Xia the definition of intellectual property rights and related laws, Lao Xia was obviously not interested, the left ear went in and out of the right ear at least and passed through the ear, but for Lao Xia, these laws and regulations explained by Ning Qian only buzzed in his ears, because he couldn't understand it at all, and he didn't intend to understand it.
Lao Xia, who was blushing and waving his hands for a while and shouting slogans for a while, made both Cordula and Raum curious and asked him what he was doing.
Lao Xia had a strong desire to chat directly with the Germans, begging Ning Qian to translate for him. In this situation, Aimee could only tell Raum about Lao Xia's bold words.
"You tell him: he can't imitate it!" Raum lifted a walker and said proudly.
"I must imitate it and win glory for the country! Can't we Chinese even make such a small car? Lao Xia's face turned red. Aimee admires Lao Xia's feelings, but he is helpless that he has no concept of intellectual property protection.
Eventually, all the samples were sold out, and Cordula was smiling at the pile of cash. She said that she had a surprise for Aimee, took her to the office of the organizing committee of the German Pavilion, took out a small slide and a classic walker, and said to Aimee: "I was worried that I would be seen outside, and I would have to buy it, so I stayed here." These two toys are for your son to grow up with. Aimee was so moved that she secretly vowed: I must do a good job of virtue and be worthy of Cordula's trust!
Aimee called Ma Jun in the morning, noon, and afternoon, and confirmed again and again that the car was really arranged, the time was agreed, and the driver was fine. But seeing that the time for the withdrawal has arrived, why can't the driver be contacted and the car has no shadow at all? When Aimee called Ma Jun again, his mobile phone began to go unanswered, Aimee was a little panicked, and called again, again, dozens of times in a row, but no one answered, and Ma Jun seemed to evaporate from the world all of a sudden.
If you want to invite them to visit the Bund and have dinner, they have already said that they are eager to try and look forward to it, and the company will send a special car to take them, and it has been announced as a highlight. What can I do? What is wrong with this horse horse?
