Chapter 167: Canton Fair (3)

Zhuo Lin made an opening introduction, introducing the company's situation and the joint cultivation of strawberries. This year's strawberry harvest made them want to try their hand at the jam export business.

Before he finished speaking, Xie Genbao pushed strawberries into the conference room.

Freshly removed strawberries from the refrigerator have a slight coolness. Piled up in two crystal cups, they formed a beautiful mountain shape.

The strawberries are bright red all over and have perfect fruit shapes. It's bigger than a regular strawberry.

As for their taste, they completely conquered foreign guests: this is not the magic of the Chinese, it turns out that the best strawberries make the top strawberry jam!

Aisen was excited in his heart, and his face was impassive: looking at the generous appearance of the Chinese, he obviously did not know the preciousness of these strawberries!

Simon was equally excited: Looks like he can pick up a big leak today?

Zhuo Lin went on to introduce the varieties of strawberry jam: "Our strawberry jam does not contain any additives except strawberries and rock sugar. So the shelf life is only about four months. Because foreign countries have a relatively high tolerance for sugar, we make strawberry jam with three sweetnesses. ”

"A sweet version that suits the taste of Westerners, a slightly sweeter version with a lower sweetness, and a healthy version with a very little sugar. What you just tasted was the sweet version. ”

The foreign guests immediately tasted two other kinds of strawberry jam, and Aisen sighed: "My mother must like the sweet version." ”

Simon also said: "My girlfriend definitely chose the health version. ”

Aisen glanced at him: "Which girlfriend do you have?" ”

A subtle chuckle rang out in the room.

Simon's face was not red and his heart was not beating: "My girlfriend will not bother you." He knocked on the table, "Director Zhuo, it's still the question just now, how much fresh stock do you have now?" ”

Zhuo Lin said: "Before the end of May, we can deliver about 100,000 catties of strawberry jam. ”

The foreign guests were very satisfied with this quantity. Aisen's eyes fell on strawberry bottles and cans, 250g a bottle, 100,000 catties can be divided into 200,000 bottles. This amount is neither more nor less, and you can eat it all.

Simon laughs, "Everyone is very happy with the quality of the strawberry jam. Let's talk about the price, right? ”

Zhuo Lin then looked at Ling Mei.

Ling Mei had discussed pricing with him before. When Zhuo Lin was in the United States, a regular large jar of strawberry jam only cost $2-3. The most expensive strawberry jam in the supermarket is also within $10. According to the calculation of boiling two catties of strawberries into one pound of strawberry jam, and then excluding the packaging, transportation and OEM costs, the cost price of strawberry jam is at least about 18 yuan to be the same as the price of fresh strawberries. At the current exchange rate, it is equivalent to about $9 for a bottle of strawberry jam.

This price is relatively expensive even for Americans. But Ling Mei insisted on a high price: our strawberry jam is the only one in the world where it tastes great. Not to mention that under the moisture of the space spiritual spring, the nutritional content of strawberries is incomparable to all strawberry jams. So she insisted that the price should not be lower than 20 yuan a bottle.

Although Zhuo Lin believes that the strawberry jam must be worth the price, if the foreigner does not accept it, it will be in vain.

Ling Mei took out a test report on the nutritional composition of strawberry jam issued by the Guangzhou Food Supervision Bureau.

Food sold abroad must not be faulty in quality. Zhong Lao had to send samples to be tested, and Ling Mei only got the results of the report last night.

Strawberry jam perfectly retains the important nutrients in strawberries, and the content of vitamin C, glucose, and carotene is amazing.

This letter food test report shocked the foreign guests and raised their high vigilance: So the Chinese proved the preciousness of Xianyun Mountain strawberries from another angle?

Can't they pick up the bargain?

Aisen and Simon put down the test report, and their faces were a little heavy: "So, your price is-"

Ling Mei remained silent. Battle-hardened foreigners have long learned Chinese bargaining. Her bid is to be higher, and the price is to repay the money on the ground, so as to increase the sense of accomplishment of foreigners.

She didn't blush and quoted the price: "23 yuan a bottle." ”

Eisen and Simon looked at each other silently.

There was an eerie silence in the room.

Gao Yi also moved his body in surprise, and quickly calculated the exchange rate in his heart - according to the quality of strawberry jam, this price is not too much. But will foreign guests be acceptable?

The two foreign guests got up and said, "I'm sorry Miss Xiao." We need to discuss your price individually. ”

Ling Mei was also drumming in her heart: Could it be that her price was really high?

She smiled unchanged and said, "No problem." Please try to give me an answer though. I'm sure there's already a long queue at my booth. ”

Aisen immediately said, "Of course. A few minutes is fine. ”

After saying that, he and Robert hijacked Simon left and right to find another conference room, the three of them locked the door, Robert clenched his fists and shouted: "20 yuan, did you hear?" ”

"I heard it, I heard it." Simon's face flushed with excitement, "Did she say the dollar or the yuan?" Eisen? Did I hear me wrong? ”

"Of course I heard you right. She's talking about the yuan! Eisen calmed down, and his face turned a little red. Less than $10 a bottle. We've made a lot of money! ”

Simon was even worried about Ling Mei: "She opened this price, can she make a profit?" ”

Robert rolled his eyes at him: "Are you coming to the Canton Fair for the first time?" Don't you know about China's foreign trade subsidies? She's definitely going to make money. ”

He added: "This strawberry is a top-notch presence even in the United States. They are very smart, and instead of selling it cheaply in China, it is better to make jam and sell it abroad. ”

Aisen regretted that he could not make a huge profit from strawberries: "It's a pity. If it's sold in the U.S., this strawberry should be sold in pieces! Sell it for a dollar each! ””

Simon also sighed: "Who made Zhang Ji's strawberries too delicate to be transported long distances." ”

After the three of them finished talking, they began to argue about how to distribute.

"One and a half." Eisen is very generous.

"Why?!" Simon refused. "I was the first to discover the treasure. I should have taken the big head. ”

"But I remember that your company's performance last year was not the best - did you bring enough money?"

Simon choked: "You can pay in installments." That's it, I'm six, you're four. ”

Aisen shook his head: "Simon, I'm already fair. I could have increased the price to get an exclusive agent. ”

Simon jumped to his feet and cursed the damn guy.

Robert comforted him: "100,000 bottles of strawberry jam, you have already earned it." ”

Simon snorted coldly: "Each other." ”

"But how can you do business without a bargain? There's certainly room for her to cut prices. I think she can accept 15 yuan. ”

"That's right. That's what I thought, too. ”

When the three of them returned to the conference room, they began to bargain with serious faces. After some arguing, the two sides finally agreed to trade at a price of 17 yuan a bottle.

Ling Mei was very satisfied, with a total sales of 3.4 million yuan for 200,000 bottles of strawberry jam. After removing the purchase fee of 2 million strawberries, the processing fee of 180,000 yuan, and the packaging and transportation cost of 20,000 yuan, the company also made a net profit of 1.2 million.
