Chapter 155: A little fight
Visiting Yu Luoqi's new company, Chen Linzhi was stimulated.
Fortunately, Wal-Mart placed a new order from him, jointly purchasing more than 10 kinds of goods such as stockings, short sleeves, underwear, adult products, shoe brushes, etc., and the purchase amount added up to 10 million US dollars, which is very much like taking advantage of the low-price supply to stock up on a large number of goods.
It is not surprising to cooperate again, what surprised Chen Linzhi is that the news was not passed on to him by Dempsey, but Miss Anastasia, who had just returned to Walmart's headquarters, and the order amount of clothing, shoes and pants alone was as high as more than 7 million US dollars, which was undoubtedly far beyond the scope of Dempsey's decision.
This made Chen Linzhi suspect that Anastasia had done him a great favor in total.
And that's exactly what happened.
Curious, Chen Linzhi took the time to call her office and asked, "What do you want to tell me about this new order?" For example, why did I receive such a notice just after you returned, which was so surprising to me. ”
"Haha, I heard you mention that the company is very competitive, so during the dinner with my boss, I specifically mentioned that there is a batch of goods produced in China in California, and the price is far below average, as you told me, because of the low cost and cheap wages.
But I didn't tell him that the relationship between you and me should not be like asking him to violate the rules. It just so happened that the company was thinking about reducing costs, and then he asked me to contact the purchasing department to learn about the details of your company, and suddenly found that they were already considering purchasing from you, and all I did was to push the order to be realized as soon as possible. ”
Anastasia put it mildly.
However, Chen Linzhi can imagine that with her position as an administrative assistant, it should not be easy to maneuver from it.
Holding the phone in her hand, Chen Linzhi was a little moved, mainly complaining casually that it was difficult to do business, but she took it to heart, and tried her best to help herself through the current difficulties.
After a few words of scumbag, I always feel that I have to treat her better in the future, and it has nothing to do with the entanglement of interests, but such a good girl should not be let down.
So Chen Linzhi took the initiative to mention: "When you take time out of the holiday, I will take you out on a trip, just to celebrate that I have received another large order, we will find an island, such as Santorini, which island in the Bahamas, to enjoy a few days of sun and beach, I am willing to provide free sunscreen service." ”
"I see you're just trying to take advantage of me, but it's a good suggestion to go to the island, I'm still working, I'll call you when I get home in the evening?" Anastasia told him with a smile in her voice.
Chen Linzhi chatted a few words and hung up the phone.
The large order with Walmart has not yet been officially signed, and when the purchase amount and delivery time are determined, it may be necessary to rush to the town of Bentonville to sign the contract.
He was thinking about giving Anastasia a decent gift, such as a diamond necklace and the like, but then he thought of the batch of "birthday gifts" in the safe in her room, and suddenly felt tricky, the other party was not an ordinary girl who would be excited because of some jewelry casually, which made Chen Linzhi a little worried for a while.
Then another thing came to mind.
Worried that Mr. Dempsey would take him as the wronged leader and snatch the credit that belonged to Anastasia, so Chen Linzhi took the lead and called Dempsey, only saying that he had met John Walton unexpectedly, had some exchanges, and successfully won this large order.
The implication is nothing more than that he has won the order, and he has nothing to do with Dempsey, and the secret kickback agreement between the two will not be useful in this business.
Chen Linzhi wanted to save a large amount of shady kickbacks, but he didn't dare to really offend Dempsey, and told him very sensibly that he would prepare some valuable gifts and bring them to him next time he went to Bentonville.
Dempsey was a little unhappy, but he didn't show it directly, after all, Chen Linzhi was his big benefactor, and he had always maintained friendly cooperation, and it would not be good for anyone to get into a stalemate.
The Walton family is also involved, and he can't blame the bosses for robbing him of the opportunity to eat kickbacks, so he has to admit that he is unlucky.
......
In 1985, a good year when China had just vigorously promoted foreign trade and economy, as long as anyone stretched out his chopsticks to put them in the pot, he could always get a few pieces of meat to eat, and no matter how bad it was, he could mix it with a thick soup.
With the help of this emerging business, Chen Linzhi made the first pot of gold in the real sense and accumulated millions of dollars, but after careful analysis and then look, although he made a lot of money, the San Francisco United Trading Company itself was not worth much.
This type of company seems to be very powerful when there are orders, but once there is no order, it is only an empty shell, and there is no real brand product and technology patent support.
Pure inverted master, it is cold when it is cool, and it is all supported by finding orders.
This is far from Chen Linzhi's imagination of a good company, he now wants the kind of "money printing machine" that can be profitable for a long time, once and for all, and has a broad upward space, rather than earning hard-earned money like ordinary office workers, once they lose their jobs, they will suddenly lose their income, and the same is true for trading companies.
Depending on the position of the station, the angle from which the problem is viewed is also different.
When the problem of food and clothing was solved and the production was successful, Chen Linzhi began to look at his business more comprehensively, instead of starting to be self-satisfied and narrow-minded when he earned some money.
He and Yin Yu talked on the phone, telling Yin Yu that the products in the future will start to be branded, and contact the manufacturers to use the "MOM" trademark, except for the processing order, or the special request of the purchaser, and strive to build their own brand.
In addition, Chen Linzhi also plans to start with the clothing business and go to the mainland of China to start a retail business.
Last time, he found out that there are no decent brand stores there, and there are many stalls on the street, which will not be able to meet people's demand for high-end products sooner or later.
These planning and layout are not in a hurry for the time being, Chen Linzhi is still keeping an eye on the foreign exchange market, and it is still useful to keep the money in his hands......
It's rare to rest at home on weekends.
I received a call on Sunday night that Chen Linzhi was flying to Los Angeles the next morning, and she really didn't want to drive a long distance by herself.
San Francisco and Los Angeles are in California, and after a short time on the plane, he landed on the ground after taking a nap, and Universal Music sent a car to pick him up to sign a contract.
The reason why Chen Linzhi is so active is because this company has sent him money, in addition to the 100,000 US dollars for selling songs, the first batch is expected to release 50,000 vinyl dense grain records and 30,000 tape albums.
It seems that compared to selling songs to Michael Jackson, Universal Music doesn't care about Chen Linzhi himself, and he is only willing to release such a little in the first batch, and he only got more than $6,000 when he got it.
Sitting at home, money will not fall from the sky, Chen Linzhi was unhappy at the same time, but he still signed the contract. Afterwards, I tried to sing a few sections along with the accompaniment, and asked someone to help revise it according to my own ideas.
After a two-day delay, it was quickly completed, and his album contains a total of eight songs, which are said to be about a month before they can be released.
Chen Linzhi finished what he had to do, found a lion hood, and wore it to take some promotional photos.
Afterwards, he departed directly from the Los Angeles airport and headed to Little Rock again, this time not driving, but took an "air taxi" from the airport and took a helicopter to the town of Bentonville......
