Chapter 492: Written Information
Jiang Xinpeng answered a phone call, and immediately rushed to Zhong Bai and said to him: "That batch of 50 cubic meters of marble has been transported to Tiandu Cargo Airport. ”
"Well, then Mr. Jiang, you will go to the foreign affairs department to ask how the export procedures are going, and I will contact Dongfeng." Zhong Bai nodded and commanded.
……
Although the Spanish buyer has not yet been decided, the procedures for exporting to Europe must be completed first, otherwise this batch of marble can only be placed in the country to eat ashes.
Although the number of marbles exported this time is not much, because it is the first export, Yu Dongfeng still attaches great importance to it, and listens to Zhong Bai's suggestion, requiring that it must be transported by air instead of by sea, in order to ensure that buyers in Spain can receive it as soon as possible, so as to open the marble demand market for the World Cup.
The price of overseas air freight in this year is amazing, although the acquisition cost price of this batch of goods Baifeng Trading Company is only 30,000 yuan, but it is estimated that the freight cost of air freight to Spain is about this number, and 20% tariffs must be added, that is, as soon as the goods land in Spain, its cost becomes 66,000 yuan.
According to today's latest quotation, the average purchase price of a cubic meter of high-quality marble given by the building materials market in Madrid, Spain is 880 yuan, and a total of 50 cubic meters is only 44,000 yuan.
The company can afford to lose this amount of money now, as long as it can open the market, the marble behind it can be exported by sea to make a profit, so Yu Dongfeng didn't care.
"Xiao Xu, didn't that Sanchez say that it would be 2 o'clock in the afternoon? Why is it 2:15 now, and I haven't even seen a figure? In the small conference room temporarily rented by the hotel, Yu Dongfeng looked at his watch, frowned and asked Xu Xiuxiu next to him.
"This ...... Then I'll call again? Xu Xiuxiu obviously didn't have a problem.
"Sure enough, the Spaniards are the same as Zhong Bai said, they don't have any concept of time, and they are used to being lazy." Yu Dongfeng waved his hand and said, "No need to call, let's wait until 3 o'clock, anyway, there are still people waiting behind, don't worry." ”
"Hmm."
Flipping through the information just done in my hand, in addition to the test report of the finished high-quality marble (bilingual version in Chinese and English), it was also equipped with multi-angle pictures of the finished product, and then according to Zhong Bai's suggestion, some color photos of the marble mining and processing plant built in the mine were specially added.
Of course, this information is for those purchasers, Zhong Bai knows very well that these Westerners will definitely raise a lot of questions about marble products from Huaguo, so he simply prepared everything for Yu Dongfeng at one time, so as not to question the quality of Huaguo products when they are suspicious.
After another fifteen minutes, Sanchez, the head of a construction contractor with a big belly and curly black hair, arrived at the hotel, and after Xu Xiuxiu's reception, he handed over the translation to a Chinese Spanish translator who contacted the local embassy, and took notes herself.
Speaking of this matter of finding a Spanish translator, Yu Dongfeng originally wanted to find it himself, but Zhong Bai reminded him on the phone that he could help by contacting the local Chinese embassy, and the people they were looking for were of a high level and the fees were reasonable, which was far more reliable than going to the vast sea of people to find it by himself, so Yu Dongfeng quickly found the Chinese translator Xiao Huang for 1000 pesetas (Spain's legal tender before the use of the euro) in an hour, which is indeed convenient + cheap.
Of course, what Yu Dongfeng didn't know was that Zhong Bai also specially greeted and helped through the Chinese Embassy in Switzerland, after all, the last trip to Switzerland added a lot of luster to the embassy, and the embassies of their foreign affairs system in Europe usually maintain communication with each other, so this kind of easy help is not too simple to help.
Sanchez sat down with a female secretary, and did not have any intention of apologizing for being late, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he raised his hand at Yu Dongfeng opposite: "What about your company's samples?" ”
"The samples are still in the process of being flown in and will arrive in Madrid tomorrow morning." Yu Dongfeng replied with a familiar approach: "Here is the product information sold by our company, this black marble is the main model, you can learn about it first." ”
Xu Xiuxiu quickly handed over the information to the other party and waited for the other party to check it.
Unexpectedly, Sanchez just glanced at it twice, so he impatiently threw the information on the table and asked loudly: "This is the way your Huaguo company does business?" There is not even a word of Spanish on the material, how can I read it? ”
Rub, Yu Dongfeng really didn't expect Sanchez to find fault with the text!
In the past, whether it was in Greece or Italy, due to the tight time, in addition to the oral translator who was temporarily looking for it locally, he encountered written materials, whether it was Baifeng Trading Company's own or marble-related, Yu Dongfeng always prepared a bilingual version in Chinese and English according to Zhong Bai's suggestion.
After all, the countries he went to were all developed countries above the middle level in Europe, with a high level of education per capita, and a strong ability to read English in general.
But I didn't expect to communicate with the purchaser for the first time after coming to Spain, and I encountered the problem of written language barrier!
Yu Dongfeng had no choice but to say to Xiao Huang, the Chinese Spanish translator: "Xiao Huang, please translate this written information to Mr. Sanchez." ”
"Okay." Xiao Huang naturally would not refuse to take money to do things, but when he picked up the information and was about to translate, he was interrupted by Sanchez.
"Stop, stop! Amigo (friend), did you come to Spain to do business, is this kind of irregular interpretation of written materials to customers? I don't have a single material in Spanish, which makes it hard for me to believe that you are really here to do business! Sanchez's tone turned arrogant: "You can't be liars, right?" It's like the Chinese people who serve dishes in the restaurants in Madrid......"
This was unpleasant, and Xiao Huang had to frown and translate Sanchez's words to Yu Dongfeng.
Where can Yu Dongfeng stand this? When Nima was in Greece and Italy before, with his temperament and style, no matter who he communicated with, at least the process was pleasant, but he didn't expect the Spanish fat man in front of him to be half an hour late and not say anything, and he was still talking about it when he came up, and his mouth was not clean?
After all, he is a person who has been influenced by Zhong Bai for a long time, and Yu Dongfeng has very reasonably implemented Zhong Bai's consistent guiding ideology for foreigners, that is, "do not engage in specialization", if they do not respect themselves first, then they should go back to the principle of going back, so the young manager of the small factory immediately personally pulled back the information directly, and replied coldly: "If you don't want to do business, then leave." There were a few more in line at the back. ”
Sanchez paused for a moment, obviously he didn't expect Yu Dongfeng to be so strong!
