After Entering the Book, She Became Rich in the 1980s

Chapter 289 Billing

Jiang Xia looked at the old man and said with a smile: "Mr., yes, the discount is only available if you order now, and you can only get this discount if you order a cargo ship of more than 27,000 tons. The discounts for other ships are different."

The old man also understands that different boats have different prices. Some boats cost even 50,000 US dollars. It is impossible to get 50,000 US dollars cheaper.

He smiled and said: "I know this. I also want to order a cargo ship with a capacity of more than 10,000 tons. Can I order a bulk cargo ship with a capacity of 30,000 tons?"

Jiang Xia smiled: "Yes! If you want to place an order, Mr., you can place an order as soon as possible, because our shipyard receives a lot of orders. The earlier you order, the earlier you can schedule production, the earlier you receive the ship, and the earlier you make money. Time is money, and if you can order the ship one month earlier, , I might have made back half of the money I spent on the boat.”

Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, a round trip for an ocean-going ship takes more than a month, and the freight is very high.

If you close the boat a month early, you will definitely earn more than $50,000.

The old man also knew this truth: "Then if I order a ship today, when will the ship be delivered?"

Jiang Xia smiled and said: "Our shipyard's business is very good, and the order has been scheduled for a year. However, Mr., you are our shipyard's first customer at the Guangzhou Fair. We can deliver the ship three months in advance. The ship is booked with Mr. Gill." The ship will be delivered at the same time.”

The old man kept speaking English to Jiang Xia, and another translator translated the conversations between Jiang Xia, the old man, and Mr. Maien to Director Zhou.

Director Zhou said at this time: "The ship can be delivered as soon as June next year."

Now there is an additional production line. In fact, it will be almost ready in April and May, but this cannot be said. You have to leave some time just in case.

After hearing this, Jiang Xia looked at Director Zhou and asked, "All the ships ordered today can be delivered in June next year?"

She took a deep look at Director Zhou.

Director Zhou understood: "Only the fifteen ships ordered earlier can be delivered half a year in advance. The ships ordered later will be in order."

Jiang Xia smiled and told the old man what Director Zhou said: "Old sir, our Director Zhou said that the delivery time can be half a year ahead of schedule! However, only fifteen ships can be delivered half a year ahead of schedule."

Delivery time is half a year ahead of schedule! That really couldn't be better!

The old gentleman immediately said: "I will order five ships! Order now!"

"Okay! I'll have someone place an order for the old gentleman."

Jiang Xia said to Factory Director Zhou: "Director, this old gentleman wants to order five 30,000-ton bulk carriers. Please arrange for someone to invoice him."

Director Zhou immediately found someone to take the old man to place an order.

Delivery half a year ahead of schedule? How much money can you make by going to sea in half a year? Those foreigners who were still waiting and watching originally wanted to wait for Mai En to announce the price, but now they couldn’t wait any longer, and they all spoke out to grab the quota: "Xia, if the ship can be delivered in June next year, I also want to book a ship!" I want to order two ships! What kind of discount are you giving me, one is $50,000 cheaper?”

"Xia, I want to order a drilling platform. Can I pay it half a year in advance? Are there any discounts?"

"Xia, I also want to book a boat. I want to book one."

"Xia, I'll order three ships..."

…

Mai En is a businessman, and for a businessman, every second is money.

Why didn't he go to country M to book a ship this time? It is because the M country shipyard has too many orders, and it will take a year and a half before the ship can be delivered.

The ship is now scheduled to be delivered here in June next year, one year earlier than the ship was ordered in country M.

Now he rents a boat and the monthly rent is quite high.

Time is money. In one year, not only can you save a lot of rent, but eight ships can earn back the price of one ship.

He immediately said: "Xia, I was the first one to discuss ordering ships with you just now, and I am the first customer. I want to order eight ships, and you have to give me a discount of US$50,000 for delivery in June next year. "Jiang Xia nodded: "I know, it was indeed Mr. Maien who wanted to book a ship just now, and you are Jill's friend. I will definitely give you a discount of 50,000 US dollars."

"Xia, we all came here with Jill, and we booked the boat together, so the price can be discounted by $50,000, right?"

"Xia, I want to order a drilling lift platform, what are the discounts?"

Jill and John also helped to speak: "Xia, they are all my friends. Can we deliver the ship they ordered together? We will give them the same discount! We are the first customers to arrive, right?"

"Xia, doesn't your Chinese country have a saying called 'preferring one to the other'? You can't favor one to the other!"

Everyone rushed to speak.

Jiang Xia signaled everyone to calm down and come one by one, "I know, I will try my best to tell the factory director to give everyone a discount of 50,000 US dollars, but only fifteen ships can be delivered half a year in advance. The others may not be delivered, but I will try my best to give everyone a discount of 50,000 US dollars." Everyone strives to deliver the ship as soon as possible. We must believe in the speed of our country! The speed at which our country does things has always been amazing! I wonder if you have heard that our country’s first 10,000-ton cargo ship was built in less than two months. , that was more than 20 years ago.”

Jiangxia knew that the shipyard had ordered equipment in advance and was ready for the Guangzhou Fair, so more than 15 ships would definitely be delivered half a year in advance.

However, these foreign businessmen together should not be able to order as many as fifteen freighters.

An hour later, Jiangxia signed a total order of 35.5 million US dollars to the shipyard. The shipyard became the fastest unit to sign an order of 10 million US dollars at the Guangzhou Fair!

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

Jiang Xia also received a commission of US$35,500.

Another translator at the shipyard was paid 100 yuan a day, and she also heard about Jiang Xia's offer of commission without salary.

It turned out that she thought it was unreliable because the boat was not easy to sell.

Now she silently calculated it in her heart, and then she felt sour!

If I had known she wouldn't want a salary, but a commission.

Director Zhou calculated it and said to Jiang Xia: "You girl, no wonder you don't want wages!"

Jiang Xia smiled: "Director Zhou is reluctant to let go?"

Zhou Chang glared: "How could it be! If you sign an order worth 100 million, I'm willing to do it!"

Director Zhou was very happy about the commission given to Jiang Xia!

Is thirty-five thousand five hundred dollars a lot? many!

But each ship Jiang Xia sold was $50,000 more expensive than their original price!

In other words, not only did they not make less money by giving Jiang Xia a commission, they also made a lot more money.

How could you be reluctant?

Jiang Xia walked over and returned the watch to Jill, thanked him, and handed the watch to Zhou Chenglei.

After Gil and the others booked the boat, they were going to check out other booths. Gil asked Jiang Xia to have dinner together in the evening.

Jiang Xia responded with a smile.

At this time, the old man who had just booked a boat also asked Jiang Xia to have dinner together to thank the couple for their help at the train station last time.

Jiang Xia had just agreed to Jill and the others, and made an appointment with the old man tomorrow night.

When the translator looked at Jiang Xia and Ji Er, the old man was so familiar with them, so he felt relieved. It turned out that only regular customers dared to ask for commissions without salary.

That’s right! Is it so easy for ships to get orders?

Sorry, I came here to ask for leave. The update today (Saturday, October 26th) will be a little later, maybe at night. I am not satisfied with the writing, so I need to push it and rewrite it.
