Chapter 629: Foreign Trade Orders
Through talking to the other party, Duan Yun's group of three is a medium-sized car manufacturer in Malaysia, which mainly produces some civilian pick-ups and tricycles.
In the 80s, the economy of Southeast Asia sprung up, with an average annual growth rate of 7.8% in the 70s, and the growth rate was in the forefront of the world.
After a period of rapid growth in the 70s, Malaysia experienced a deceleration in the 80s, with the poverty rate rising to 30% in 1983, which also caused a severe gap between the rich and the poor.
The manufacturer of this merchant from Malaysia has always been produced by purchasing 4 major assemblies to assemble cars, but unlike China, their supply chain procurement can be purchased globally, not only in China, in addition, Malaysia's domestic high-end cars have been occupied by developed countries such as Europe, America and Japan, so their country's car manufacturers can only take a share of the domestic low-end market.
There is no fixed brand advantage, and if you want to occupy the domestic market, you can only rely on the price advantage, so over the years, Malaysia's domestic automakers have also purchased auto parts more freely and cheaply through various channels around the world, so as to expand their profit margins.
Through years of introduction, they also found that the car gearbox of Duanyun factory, in addition to the quality assurance, (after all, it is a product that won the national gold medal), the other most important point is that the price of this Longteng gearbox is very low, even cheaper than the car gearbox of the same specification purchased by their factory before, such a big price advantage, it does make these Malaysian merchants feel tempted.
In the end, after repeated conversations between the two sides, the Malaysian auto businessmen decided to order 600 Longteng gearboxes from Duan Yun's factory first.
After having the intention to order, Duan Yun will negotiate with the three suppliers from Malaysia to the reception room in detail, and if everything is confirmed, the two parties will sign a formal order contract.
Director Wang, the secretariat director who was standing aside and waiting to reprimand Duan Yun, saw that the foreign businessman was about to leave, and was about to come over, but found that Duan Yun also followed the three cabins to the reception room next to him, and in desperation, he could only walk back and forth in the exhibition hall, waiting for Duan Yun to come out.
After entering the reception room, the two sides talked for a while, and finally signed an order for 600 automobile gearboxes with the assistance of the exhibition business department.
"Sir, I believe that time will prove that your choice today is wise and correct!" After the order was signed, Duan Yun immediately shook hands with the Malaysian businessman with a smile.
In any case, Duan Yun's booth was finally "opened", and this was also the first foreign trade order that their factory had gotten.
In fact, to be honest, Duan Yun was still a little disappointed in his heart, because the number of 600 car gearboxes was too small, and the gap between Duan Yun's expectations was a little big, but this was also a helpless thing.
Duan Yun also understands in his heart that they are just a little-known small factory, although the product has won the national gold medal, but there is no history of export before, it is not a mature and stable product, this car manufacturer in Malaysia is only interested in the low price of floor gearboxes, they are also taking a certain risk to procure, the ordered 600 car gearboxes are estimated to be just a trial, if the product quality is not qualified, they can still bear this loss, and if they can withstand the test of the market and users, it is very likely to find Duan Yun factory again for large-scale ordering。
It takes a long time for a company's brand and reputation to be established, and the city of Rome cannot be established in a day, Duan Yun still has a long way to go if he wants to promote his products to the world.
But in any case, Duan Yun finally got the first foreign trade order, although the amount of this order is not large, but after all, the business is open.
Out of the reception room, Duan Yun sent the three Malaysian businessmen out of the machinery exhibition hall with a smile on his face, and then turned back to his booth.
"Comrade Duan Yun, come over here. Director Wang beckoned to Duan Yun and motioned for him to come over.
"Is there anything going on, Director Wang?" Duan Yun saw that Director Wang's face was not good, and then walked over.
"Did Director Liu of your Provincial Department of Light Industry look for you in the morning?" asked Director Wang.
"Director Liu has approached me. Duan Yun nodded, and then said, "But I don't think I have any violations. ”
"You didn't break the rules?" Director Wang snorted, then pointed at Yu Shulan and Zhang Xiulan in the booth and said: "In the morning, representatives of other companies reported that you often go to their booths to forcibly win over foreign businessmen, and you can see what your booth looks like? The two female comrades wear heavy makeup, coffee and juice, this is capitalism, this is the petty bourgeoisie of capitalism, what do you think we do?
"Director Wang, I'm going to explain it to you. Duan Yun was not in a hurry when he heard this, but listened to him continue: "First of all, I didn't force other booths to win over customers, it's just because I have a good foreign language and can communicate well with foreign businessmen, and they can also come to my booth to pull foreign businessmen away, I promise that I don't have any opinions, in addition, the female workers in our factory wear heavy makeup, and it is human nature to love beauty, not to mention that compared to those big girls and little daughters-in-law on the streets of Guangzhou, this is a very normal dress, not a bad moral, right?" Besides, wouldn't it be a shame for the country's face to let the female workers of our factory wear tattered clothes to meet foreign guests? Finally, there is the matter of coffee, isn't it just to earn foreign exchange in their pockets? Isn't it the most basic business process to provide good hospitality conditions and make them feel at home?
"Duan Yun, don't quibble with me, the problems in your booth are not reported to me by a representative of a company. Director Wang had a calm face, and then said: "Comrade Duan Yun, what I want to tell you is that although your factory's products have won the national gold medal, after all, there is no history of export, and the export task of our exhibition is very heavy, and you must have a ...... of the overall situation."
"Director Wang, you just let us have a big picture, so why don't you let their factories have a big picture?" Duan Yun said with a frown.
Duan Yun was obviously dissatisfied with Director Wang's words, and the meaning in his words was obviously to let Duan Yun be willing to be a green leaf and a foil for other factories, which Duan Yun could not accept.
"Why don't you understand when I say that?" Seeing that Duan Yun didn't seem to buy his account, Director Wang said solemnly: "It's really not easy for your factory to win the national gold medal this time, but the qualifications are too shallow, at least some of the enterprises in the exhibition hall have been ...... who have received foreign trade orders."
"What's the big deal about getting a foreign trade order, didn't I just sign a foreign trade order. Duan Yun interrupted Director Wang's words and said.
"You just signed a foreign trade order?" Director Wang was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What is the amount of the order?"
"It's not much, the total is 228,000 ......," Duan Yun replied casually.
Duan Yun really felt that this order was not much, after all, he felt that the products of his factory were also national gold medals, and every order of several million was simply sorry for this signboard.
“228,000...... Yen?"
"Dollars. ”
"$228,000!?" asked Director Wang of the Secretariat, whose eyes widened immediately and in surprise.
