Reborn Industrial Tycoon

In the seat cushion exhibition area, Yang Peng is gearing up and preparing for a big fight.

Yang Peng's English proficiency was limited to saying words like "hello" and "sorry", so he specially paid for the cheapest translator.

Yang Peng, who participated in the Canton Fair for the first time, was really a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers. He stood in the exhibition area and stared expectantly at every passing foreign businessman, as if they were all customers who came to buy car seat cushions.

In Yang Peng's perception, the Canton Fair is a place to pick up money. Since Li Weidong can pick up four million US dollars here, he can also pick up four million US dollars, or even more.

However, what disappointed Yang Peng was that the foreign businessmen who came and went seemed to have no interest in car seat cushions, and no foreign businessmen stayed in the seat cushion exhibition area.

This was completely different from what Yang Peng had expected. Yang Peng originally thought that the booth at the Canton Fair was like the pork stall of the supply and marketing cooperative before the Spring Festival. A group of customers gathered around and bought the pork, while the salesperson was very busy.

The result was exactly the opposite. The exhibition area was deserted, with a group of exhibitors staring eagerly, waiting for customers to come.

"After waiting for so long, why are there no customers?" Yang Peng couldn't help but become anxious.

"Director Yang, are you anxious?" Another exhibitor came over and said, "Don't be anxious. The Canton Fair has just begun. It is normal to have no customers. After all, the Canton Fair will be held for more than ten days! And even if it is

When customers come to your door, they may not actually place an order.”

"No hurry, I'm not in a hurry." Yang Peng said this, but he was really anxious in his heart.

The exhibitor continued: "Actually, even if we are anxious, we should be anxious. You don't have to worry. In the past two Canton Fairs, weren't the largest orders for car seat cushions taken away by your factory?

Take the Canton Fair in April last year as an example. The Wal-Mart in the United States immediately placed an order of 3.5 million US dollars for your factory! There was also the Canton Fair in October last year. The same Wal-Mart gave you 4 million US dollars.

An order worth ten thousand dollars!”

Yang Peng nodded, and his mind suddenly felt much calmer.

"Don't be anxious. As long as you place a big order, that's three to four million US dollars. If you place two big orders, you can earn six to seven million US dollars. This is called three years without opening the market, and three years after the market opens!" Yang Peng

He comforted himself.

At this moment, a European with a big beard walked into the seat cushion exhibition area and stopped casually in front of a sample of linen car seat cushions.

The linen car seat cushions that the foreign businessmen were looking at happened to be on display at a clothing factory. Yang Peng was so happy that he immediately walked up with his translator.

"Hello, sir, this is a linen car seat cushion. Translate quickly!" Yang Peng said and glared at the translator.

As expected, the cheapest translator is not proactive in his work. If Yang Peng says something, the translator will translate just one sentence, and the translations are relatively simple. Yang Peng even wonders whether the translator has deliberately missed a few sentences.

After the introduction by Yang Peng and his translator, the foreign businessman seemed to be very interested in linen car seat cushions. He asked: "How much does this kind of car seat cushion cost?"

"He asked how much it cost," the translator said in Chinese.

"Tell him that the whole set is 29 US dollars, a single front seat cushion is 8 US dollars, and a single rear seat cushion is 15 US dollars!" Yang Peng said.

The translator told the foreign businessman the price, and the foreign businessman shook his head: "This price is too expensive."

"He thinks it's too expensive!" The translated language is still very concise.

"Forget it, just think of it as a business and make it a little cheaper!" Thinking of this, Yang Peng said: "Tell him that this is my first business today. In order to have a good start, I can give him a discount."

The price is $28 a set!”

"28 dollars a set." The translator said to the foreign businessman in English, and he directly saved Yang Peng's nonsense.

Yang Peng also knew that such a long list of words could not be limited to just these few words. However, since he did not speak English, he could only let the translator decide.

"The cheap translator is not serious about his work and has a bad attitude. I will fire him tomorrow!" Yang Peng thought to himself.

However, the foreign businessman still shook his head: "This price is still too high."

"It's too expensive for him." The translator still cherishes words like gold.

"After all, this is the first business, so let's take a loss!" Yang Peng said to the translator: "Tell him, it's 27 US dollars per set, but this is the lowest price!"

"27 US dollars." The translator only told the foreign businessman the amount this time.

The foreign businessman pouted, put down the linen car seat cushion in his hand, turned around and left, obviously very dissatisfied with the price.

Yang Peng suddenly became anxious. He finally got a customer. He was about to open the business, but he couldn't let him go.

So Yang Peng quickly stepped forward to stop the merchant, and at the same time said to the translator: "Ask this foreigner to give you a price!"

The translator immediately said to the foreign businessman: "Sir, what price can you accept?"

The foreigner turned back, pondered for a moment, then stretched out five fingers with his left hand and three fingers with his right hand, and said: "Eight dollars!"

"He said, 8 US dollars!" the translator said to Yang Peng.

"I can count!" Yang Peng glared at the translator angrily.

The translator turned to the foreign businessman and said, "He said he could count."

The cheap translation seemed to be malicious, but Yang Peng said angrily: "There is no need to translate this sentence!"

At this time, Yang Peng thought to himself: "I'll give you a price of 27 US dollars and ask you to counteroffer. You can just pay back 23 or 4 yuan. A counteroffer of 8 US dollars is too much! This foreign businessman's price is so low.

Are you here to cause trouble?"

Yang Peng felt that the behavior of foreign businessmen was like I offered 20,000 yuan and you counter-offered 25 cents. There was no sincerity at all.

"8 US dollars is almost 33 RMB. I can't even cover the cost! This is a loss-making business and cannot be done!" Thinking of this, Yang Peng said: "Tell him that the price is too low and I can't sell it."

The translator told the foreign businessman Yang Peng's original words, and the foreign businessman shrugged, turned around again, and prepared to leave.

This time, Yang Peng did not stop foreign businessmen from leaving. After all, the price of 8 US dollars was indeed far lower than Yang Peng's psychological expectations.

Just because Yang Peng didn't stop the foreign businessman, it didn't mean that others didn't. The foreign businessman turned around and before he could take a step forward, another exhibitor came over.

"Sir, wait a minute, please take a look at my product. We can negotiate for $8!" the exhibitor said.

Yang Peng couldn't understand English, so he asked the translator beside him: "What did he say to the foreigner?"

"He said we can negotiate for $8!" the translator replied.

"Eight dollars is obviously a loss-making business. You can talk about this. There must be something wrong with this guy's brain!" Yang Peng said to himself.

As soon as Yang Peng finished complaining, another exhibitor came up with a linen car seat cushion.

"Sir, my product is also $8!" the man said.

"What did he say again?" Yang Peng continued to ask the translator.

"His products are also $8." The translator replied.

Yang Peng was startled: "Another one who has a brain problem!"

Before Yang Peng could recover, the third and fourth exhibitors also joined in.

"Sir, my linen car seat cushion only costs $7.9!"

"If you want a larger quantity, my products are only $7.80!"

Yang Peng looked at the translator again, and the translator said lazily: "They are reducing the price, and it has now been reduced to 7.8 US dollars!"

"This has already fallen below the cost price, and the price is still going to be reduced! Are you crazy?" Yang Peng looked at the exhibitors with a surprised look.

After a round of price war, the price of linen car seat cushions finally dropped to 7.5 US dollars. The bearded foreign businessman was satisfied and placed an order for 3,000 sets.

Yang Peng stared at all this with his mouth agape. He could not understand why the price of linen car seat cushions could be so low. It had already reached 8 US dollars, and there was still a price war.

Yang Peng immediately walked up to one of the exhibitors and asked, "You dare to sell it for $8, aren't you afraid of losing money?"

"If you don't sell it, you'll lose money! We've already bought the imported knitting machines. We can't leave them to rust in the factory! It's a bit of a loss for a set of 8 US dollars, but you can lose some money. It's foreign exchange after all. At least you can

Earn back the foreign exchange you spent on the imported knitting machines!" the man said.

"How come this linen car seat cushion is sold so cheaply? Didn't it cost $29 before?" Yang Peng then asked.

"Twenty-nine dollars? How many years ago was that?" The man curled his lips disdainfully.

"It's not that many years ago, it just happened in April last year." Yang Peng said.

"Yes, it was still US$29 in April, but by October last year, a set of linen car seat cushions had dropped to less than US$10!" the man replied.

"Why? Why did it drop so hard?" Yang Peng asked puzzledly.

"There are more manufacturers making linen car seat cushions, and the production volume has increased, and the price has naturally come down." The man replied.

Yang Peng suddenly recalled the price war between several exhibitors just now, and he suddenly understood what happened.

The next second, Yang Peng suddenly realized that this linen car seat cushion might not be sold!

The price of less than 8 US dollars is already lower than the production cost of the garment factory. This is equivalent to losing one piece by selling one piece.

"What should I do? I promised in front of the city leaders that I would earn five million in foreign exchange from exports. Now I can't sell a single product, how can I earn foreign exchange from exports!

By the way, I also have a product, a wool car seat cushion! This wool car seat cushion earned 4.5 million U.S. dollars in foreign exchange from exports, which is more than the linen car seat cushions sold!"

Thinking of this, Yang Peng looked at the booth and saw four or five types of wool car seat cushions, all of which were products from other exhibitors.

“I sell a set of wool car seat cushions for US$129. I don’t know how much other exhibitors sell!”

Thinking of this, Yang Peng approached another exhibitor. After exchanging pleasantries, Yang Peng asked: "Is this wool car seat cushion from your factory? How much do you plan to sell it for?"

"The raw materials of wool car seat cushions are relatively expensive, and the price is also relatively high. Our quotation to foreign businessmen is US$129 per set!" The exhibitor did not hide it.

"It seems that wool car seat cushions can still make money!" Yang Peng suddenly let out a sigh of relief.

However, the exhibitor said: "Summer is coming soon. This kind of warm-keeping stuff is in the off-season. In the off-season, the price will definitely be lower. So if there are really foreign companies selling it, I will pay for it."

$120 a set!”

"120 US dollars, you are crazy about money! I will sell it for 110 US dollars!" Another exhibitor next to him came over.

"Don't say $110, give me $100 and I'll sell it too!" the third exhibitor said.

"Haha, actually our factory's real quotation is US$90!" the first person said.

"You all step aside, our factory sells for 85!"

Before even meeting the customers, several exhibitors started to talk and start a price war. In the blink of an eye, the price of wool car seat cushions dropped below 40 US dollars.

"What's the situation? We just chatted for a few words, but why did it fall below the cost price again!" Yang Peng looked like he was about to cry but had no tears.

At this time, Yang Peng had only one thought in his mind: The Canton Fair is full of tricks, I want to go back to the countryside!
