Reborn Industrial Tycoon

Ma Dexing turned into a waiter again. He handed a cup of tea to Li Weidong and said, "Director Li, thank you for your hard work!"

Li Weidong was not polite. He took the tea and drank it in one gulp. Then he wiped his mouth and said, "This fried thing makes you thirsty very easily. In addition, introducing it to a foreigner took a lot of effort. My throat is broken."

It’s going to smoke!”

"Otherwise, you are working hard! I will pour you another glass of water!" Ma Dexing took the tea cup from Li Weidong, but did not leave. Instead, he asked: "How many air fryers did the foreign businessman just buy?

"

"1,000 units, and I negotiated the price for a long time, and finally sold it for $315." Li Weidong replied.

"That's also US$315,000!" Ma Dexing paused and then said: "Including the Belgian just now, you, the air fryer, have already received an order of US$2.63 million.

"

"Director Ma, you remember this better than me!" Li Weidong replied with a smile.

Ma Dexing leaned forward and said: "I just got the news that Gordon from Wal-Mart has left the hotel where he was staying, and he is probably coming to the Canton Fair. There is also an American named Hayward, who is here today.

He just arrived, and he is also a purchasing staff member of a large American retailer. It seems that he will be tested to death by any name!"

"Is it Costco?" Li Weidong asked immediately.

"Yes, that's the pronunciation. I only heard it once and didn't remember it." Ma Dexing nodded, and then said: "It turns out it's called Costco. Don't pronounce it wrong next time."

"Unexpectedly, Costco is also here. Although Costco is mainly a membership-based warehousing and wholesale operation, they have always sold household appliances, especially small household appliances, which are more important products in Costco. It seems that

I have to work hard to catch this Heywood."

Thinking of this, Li Weidong said: "Director Ma, I have something to trouble you."

"Whatever you want, just say it! As long as I can do it, I'll do it for you right away!" Ma Dexing said, patting his chest.

"You go to the vegetable market and kill some chickens for me! Also, buy some potatoes." Li Weidong said.

"You want to eat chicken stewed with potatoes?" Ma Dexing blurted out.

Li Weidong pointed to the refrigerator behind him and said: "Americans love to eat fried chicken and potato chips. I have used up the chicken nuggets here and there are not many potato chips left. When Gordon comes,

There’s nothing left to show.”

"I understand. I will immediately arrange for someone to go to the vegetable market to kill the chicken, and I will ensure that the chicken is delivered to you before Gordon comes." Ma Dexing nodded.

"Director Ma, don't forget to ask the chicken butcher to chop the chicken for me. I don't want any chicken heads, chicken necks, or chicken feet. Foreigners don't eat these. There is little meat on the chicken ribs, so I don't want them. In short, I just pick them up.

Leave a lot of meat to me. Also, foreigners don't eat offal, so they have to pick out chicken hearts, livers, gizzards and the like." Li Weidong then ordered.

Ma Dexing professionally took out a small version and wrote on it: "No chicken heads, necks, feet, ribs, and internal organs..."

"Also, you should choose young pullets to buy. Firstly, the meat is relatively tender and easy to fry through; secondly, the hens have more fat and are delicious when fried." Li Weidong continued.

"Young little hen..." Ma Dexing repeated these words several times, but he still felt strange in his heart.

…

Gordon was still not used to getting up early. When he arrived at the Canton Fair exhibition hall, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

Over at the seat cushion exhibition area, they immediately became excited when they learned that Gordon had arrived. Everyone knew that Gordon was the number one customer for car seat cushions.

Sure enough, when Gordon came to the cushion exhibition area, he received the warmest welcome.

Gordon was also dazzled by the new car seat cushions of various materials appearing in the seat cushion exhibition area.

The price war between various exhibiting manufacturers is also frantic, with linen car seat cushions even being quoted below US$7. After all, Gordon is a big customer and can order hundreds of thousands of pieces at a time. Exhibitors are willing to spend a lot of money for Gordon.

.

For a moment, Gordon seemed to have difficulty choosing. He didn't know what to buy.

In the end, Gordon placed an order for 250,000 pieces, not only for linen car seat cushions, but also for car seat cushions made of other materials. Part of the orders were also placed.

And the total order for these 250,000 pieces did not even exceed one million US dollars.

Linen and wool are relatively expensive among textile materials. Other textile materials are cheaper, such as straw cushions, which are even cheaper.

Low material prices mean low manufacturing costs, and of course the quotations also become cheaper.

These domestic manufacturers rarely deal with foreign countries, and they do not understand the principle of pricing according to market demand. The pricing method they adopt is to add a little profit on top of cost. Naturally, they cannot obtain higher prices according to this pricing method.

profit.

Gordon was very happy in his heart. In his opinion, these manufacturers were all stupid. Not only did they set low prices, but they also bargained with each other. In the end, they made themselves cheaper and ordered for less than one million US dollars.

Two hundred and fifty thousand car seat cushions made of different materials.

"It's great not to have to deal with that cunning Li!" Gordon thought of this and looked around, but did not find Li Weidong.

Gordon couldn't help but ask: "Excuse me, is Mr. Li Weidong here? Why haven't you seen him this year?"

"Director Li didn't come this year, and the company you ordered from before also changed its director." Someone next to him explained.

"That's it." Gordon nodded. In the United States, it is normal for companies to change owners, and Gordon didn't find it strange.

Gordon, who had found a bargain, left the cushion exhibition area with satisfaction, and then began to wander around the exhibition hall.

Suddenly, the smell of fried food entered Gordon's nose.

For an American, the smell of fried food is no stranger. There are fast food restaurants selling fried food all over the United States. Wherever there are people, you can find burgers, fried chicken, fried donuts and other foods.

. Even though the burgers in some burger restaurants are filled with barbecue patties, the fries still have to be deep-fried.

Acting on American instinct, Gordon walked in the direction of the smell.

Then Gordon saw a familiar face, it was Li Weidong.

"Didn't those people say before that Li Weidong didn't come? Why is he still wearing an apron?" A curious look appeared on Gordon's face, and he walked forward.

Li Weidong also saw Gordon. From a distance, he greeted Gordon: "Mr. Gordon, my old friend, we meet again!"

"Mr. Li, I just went to the cushion exhibition area and didn't see you. I thought you weren't here, but I didn't expect you to show up here!" Gordon said, looking up at the sign, and then said: "This is household appliances.

Exhibition area, right? You changed your career to household appliances?"

"Yes, I changed my career. Mr. Gordon, would you like to come and take a look at my products?" Li Weidong pointed to the air fryer in front of him.

"I'm very sorry, I have no interest in household appliances produced in China." Gordon said as he glanced at the air fryer and couldn't help but ask: "What is this? I don't think I have seen this kind of household appliance before."

"This thing is called an air fryer. It is a machine that uses air to fry." Li Weidong explained.

Gordon looked surprised: "Air frying? Are you kidding me?"

"Mr. Gordon, do you think I'm joking? This kind of machine uses air instead of hot oil in the frying pan to fry the food. If you don't believe me, just give me a few minutes and I can do it.

Show it to you." Li Weidong made a "please" gesture.

Gordon nodded, and he went to the opposite side of Li Weidong to witness Li Weidong's operations with his own eyes.

A moment later, a plate of golden French fries appeared in front of Gordon.

"Mr. Gordon, try it. The fries have just been fried. I also have ketchup here." Li Weidong said and took out a small bottle of ketchup and squeezed it next to the plate.

Gordon started directly, picked up a French fries, looked at it carefully, then dipped it in ketchup and put the fries into his mouth.

"They are really French fries!" Gordon showed an expression of amazement. He had just witnessed raw potato strips turn into French fries and tasted them himself. Naturally, he thought this air fryer was amazing.

"Mr. Gordon, in addition to frying French fries, this air fryer of mine can also fry fish, steak, chicken nuggets, anything you can think of." Li Weidong said, taking it out.

A few pieces of chicken, and then said: "I will show you the fried chicken now!"

After a while, several pieces of golden fried chicken appeared in front of Gordon.

Although the principle of the air fryer is similar to that of the oven, there are still differences. The oven uses heat directly to bake the food, while the air fryer uses hot air to bake the food.

Hot air also has a characteristic, that is, it can directly blow away the moisture on the surface of the food, making the food look more like it has been fried. And because the hot gas will continue to flow, the heating of the air fryer will be faster than that of the oven.

Evenly. The food cooked in the air fryer looks better than traditional fried food or barbecue food.

For example, these pieces of fried chicken nuggets with attractive colors instantly caught Gordon's attention.

"Can I try it?" Gordon asked.

"Of course." Li Weidong handed over the fork.

Gordon forked a piece of chicken and stuffed it into his mouth. He mainly wanted to confirm whether the chicken was cooked.

As a result, the chicken was not only cooked, but also tasted great.

"This is really an amazing product." Gordon praised again.

Li Weidong struck while the iron was hot and asked: "Mr. Gordon, I wonder if Wal-Mart is interested in this novel household appliance?"

"How much do you plan to sell this machine for?" Gordon asked.

"$330. If Wal-Mart wants to purchase in large quantities, the price can be negotiated!" Li Weidong replied.

Hearing the price, Gordon shook his head: "This thing is too expensive."

"If Wal-Mart is willing to purchase more than 10,000 pieces, the price can be reduced to US$300." Li Weidong immediately extended an olive branch.

"The price of 300 US dollars is still too expensive." Gordon smiled slightly and said, "My ideal price is 100 US dollars!"
