Chapter 385 Artificial!
Mr. Kou knew very well that there was a specialization in art, and because of this, when he heard the situation mentioned by Wu Aiguo, he immediately realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked Wu Aiguo, "Patriotism! Did you hear the above from Mr. Wang? Tell me about it."
Wu Aiguo heard Mr. Kou's inquiry, thought of what happened in the early stage of the development of Huaxia in his previous life, and said to Mr. Kou: "Mr. Kou! Two days ago, when I contacted Brother Wang, Brother Wang once mentioned something to me."
"He said that the export price of embroidery exported by our country to Western countries was $10 per piece of embroidery in the past, but now the export price of each piece of embroidery is half of what it used to be, or even lower.
Kou Lao was always the head of the industrial department, and he knew more or less about the price of embroidery, and when he heard Wu Aiguo say that embroidery was being sold cheaply in China, he immediately retorted to Wu Aiguo: "Patriotic! I don't agree with what Mr. Wang said."
"Although our embroidery is beautifully made, there is a big gap between it and the silk scarves produced in Western countries, and if we don't sell them at a reduced price, we can't sell them at all."
When Wu Aiguo heard Mr. Kou's rebuttal, he immediately realized that people in this era did not know that the cost of manual manufacturing was far more expensive than mechanical manufacturing.
Realizing this problem, Wu Aiguo opened his mouth and introduced to Mr. Kou: "Mr. Kou! There is a car factory in England, and all the cars in this factory are made by hand, and no more than 200 cars are produced every year."
"On the German side, there are several car factories that use mechanical manufacturing to make cars, and the annual production is in the tens of thousands."
"But this car made in Germany is not as expensive as the car made in England, and the price difference between the two is still several times, do you know why?"
"Why?" Mr. Kou on the other end of the phone heard Wu Aiguo's inquiry, and blurted out a question without thinking about it.
Wu Aiguo heard Mr. Kou's inquiry, and replied with a smile: "Because in Western countries, the cost of manual manufacturing is more expensive than that of mechanical manufacturing, and Westerners pay attention to artificial manufacturing, so the price of English cars will be more expensive than German cars."
"Patriotic! According to what you say, the handmade products must be more expensive than the silk scarves produced by the machine, why is the embroidery price of our export not as good as a year? Mr. Kou was very surprised when he heard Wu Aiguo's introduction, and asked Wu Aiguo with a puzzled face.
Wu Aiguo heard Mr. Kou's inquiry, and replied without thinking about it, "Mr. Kou! The reason is simple, it's because it's man-made."
Wu Aiguo's words came to this, paused slightly, and then said, "Mr. Kou! Do you remember when I just said that there is a specialization?"
"Our personnel in charge of trade don't know anything about business, and they only think about completing the task of earning foreign exchange through exports, and they don't care about the amount of profits at all.
After a while, Mr. Kou recovered from his contemplation and asked Wu Aiguo with a solemn face, "Patriotism! Did Mr. Wang say how to solve a similar situation?"
Wu Aiguo heard Mr. Kou's inquiry, and replied with a smile, "Mr. Kou! Let professional people do it, find some reliable capitalists, and let them be responsible for external sales, after all, these capitalists are the most professional talents in business."
In this era, capitalist is a very sensitive title, and after Mr. Kou heard Wu Aiguo's suggestion, his brows immediately furrowed.
Thinking of what Wu Aiguo had told him before, Mr. Kou directly changed the topic and asked Wu Aiguo, "Patriotism! Let's not talk about this for the time being, you can tell me quickly, what is the matter with me?"
Wu Aiguo saw that Mr. Kou was reluctant to discuss this issue, and he didn't mention this issue, so he opened his mouth to introduce Mr. Kou: "Mr. Kou! I asked Brother Wang for help, and Brother Wang gave me a new product that their company had just developed."
"That's it
The product is an educational toy, in the words of Brother Wang, as long as this kind of toy is listed, it will definitely be popular in Western countries, and we can take the opportunity to earn a foreign exchange at that time."
"Yesterday morning, I received the information sent by Brother Wang, considering that I have been transferred to work at No. 67, naturally I can't send things directly to your office as in the past, so I went to find our Director Hao, but Director Hao didn't even look at my plan, just blindly urged me to implement the purchase of equipment as soon as possible."
When Mr. Kou heard Wu Aiguo's introduction, his brows furrowed again, and at the same time, he finally understood why Wu Aiguo would mention the word "people".
However, No. 67, where Wu Aiguo is located, does not belong to the jurisdiction of the industrial department, so Mr. Kou naturally can't ask about No. 67, so he can only open his mouth and ask Wu Aiguo: "Patriotism! You said before that you wanted to ask me for help, so tell me how you want me to help?"
Wu Aiguo heard Mr. Kou's inquiry, and he didn't say politely to Mr. Kou, and said directly, "Mr. Kou! The main reason why I am calling you today is that I hope you can send one or two people to accompany me to the Kyoto toy factory and ask them to produce a batch of Rubik's cubes and send them to the Western market to test the waters."
When Mr. Kou heard Wu Aiguo's words, he did not immediately agree to Wu Aiguo's request, but asked Wu Aiguo, "Patriotism! Are you sure that the toys that Mr. Wang gave you really have a market in the West?"
Wu Aiguo heard Mr. Kou's inquiry, and asked Mr. Kou angrily, "Mr. Kou! Let's cooperate with Brother Wang to this day, has Brother Wang ever cheated us?"
When Mr. Kou heard Wu Aiguo's words, he realized that he had the heart of a villain and lived in the belly of a gentleman!
With this thought in his heart, Mr. Kou said to Wu Aiguo with a guilty face: "Patriotism! When are you going to go to the toy car? I'll arrange for someone to accompany you on a trip."
Wu Aiguo heard Mr. Kou's inquiry, remembered the time he had made with Zhang Changrong at dinner last night, and replied, "Mr. Kou! Then tomorrow morning at nine o'clock sharp."
When Mr. Kou heard the time proposed by Wu Aiguo, he immediately replied, "Patriotic! I'll get in touch with you tomorrow morning!"
Wu Aiguo heard Mr. Kou's answer, and thanked him with a smile: "Mr. Kou! Thank you then!"
Mr. Kou heard Wu Aiguo's thanks, thought of the situations that Wu Aiguo had just mentioned to him, and said to Wu Aiguo apologetically: "Patriotic! It's not as good as it used to be, and No. 67 is not under the jurisdiction of our Ministry of Industry, so I can't interfere with what you just mentioned."
