Chapter 349: Business as Business (Fifteenth Update)

An Zhixia drank her tea slowly and smiled, and the Jiang family members listened to her negotiation in silence.

Wow, two contracts worth hundreds of thousands were confirmed just like that. Even Fang Yuan looked at her with some surprise and a hint of joy.

"The number of cable TV users in foreign countries is increasing rapidly, and I believe that our country is also developing at a rapid pace, just like riding a rocket. In addition, you have also seen the population growth rate in our country. There are usually seven or eight children in a family, and when the children grow up and work, they are potential customers.

At worst, 100 million potential customers can support two or three of your companies. Are you going to give up this tiny market? When you wait and see the rise of Xiahua, there will be no room for you to enter and develop here.

So, Mr. Ivan, 37 or OUT, you should know which option is more beneficial to your company?

With your presence today, I believe that tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, there will be more international friends coming to discuss business through the Xiahua Channel. Your company is not the only one that dominates chocolate. Even if we choose a company that lacks taste and is not well-known, as our Chinese people's purchasing level increases, the quality of chocolate will also be improved under the research of technical personnel. "

"Okay," Ivan responded loudly as he saw that what she said was becoming more and more like the truth.

He wiped his face, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Alas, Xiahua country is really full of talented people. Are all you women so eloquent? No wonder Xiahua TV can launch such a wonderful channel without borders. In the future, we can't neglect every partner, otherwise we will give up the big cake of interests."

"Mr. Ivan, I believe that in the near future, you will be glad for your decision today." An Zhixia stood up and shook hands with him formally. "I will explain our cooperation in detail to the leaders later. After the leaders review and approve it, we will sign the formal contract."

Ivan and the others nodded in response, and as it was getting late, they prepared to say goodbye and leave.

Although they said that, they were reluctant to move and their eyes were always looking at the kitchen.

An Zhixia understood and said, "My brother will be recording a show called Taogui in a couple of days. Once our contract is signed, how about you personally taste the dishes and promote your company's products?"

They nodded happily, fearing that An Zhixia would go back on her word, and said as they walked out, "We will also talk to your leaders about these three collaborations, and hope that we can sign the contracts as soon as possible. Haha, maybe before we return home, our relatives and friends have already seen us on TV."

Old Master Jiang quickly asked Aunt Zhang to bring some tea for them.

Ivan and his group couldn't refuse, so they accepted it with gratitude and kept the remaining half bag of chocolates in the car as a gift.

After they left, neighbors came in and started asking for news.

The contract had not been signed, so everyone was tight-lipped. Even if the contract was signed, it had to be kept confidential. It was time to get off work in the evening, so An Zhixia and Fang Yuan took the children and some chocolate candies to the Li family.

Li Hanqian had just returned from his car. Seeing them coming, he greeted them with a smile: "Xia girl, no, Mrs. Fang, you just got married yesterday, and you came here with your family today. Tell me, what's the matter?"

Mrs. Li patted him on the shoulder and smiled as she invited An Zhixia to come in. "This kid is so good at being a small leader in the company that he doesn't even know his own last name. He's always showing off. Don't pay any attention to him."

Mao Manxi also smiled as she got out of the car, carrying her bag and leading her child. She told her son to play with the three other children at home, then she took An Zhixia's other arm and enthusiastically called the aunt at home to bring some fruit.

Smelling the aroma of Li's food, An Zhixia smiled and said, "We won't sit down. I just negotiated a business deal with a few chocolate companies from Italy, so I said hello to Brother Qian and see if the organization can approve it."

Li Hanqian's eyes lit up and he immediately asked them to sit down and talk in the study.

"Chocolate business? Sister, shouldn't you talk to your cousin about it?"

An Zhixia repeated the discussion about the cooperation between the chocolate company and the supply and marketing cooperative.

Li Hanqian was so excited that he was walking around the room. If the supply and marketing cooperative could win over the Italian chocolate supplier, the profits would definitely be huge, and it would also have greater competitiveness while competing with the department stores.

"The problem is how to convince the organization to allow large-scale chocolate imports," he said with a sigh as he sat down. "Only Friendship Stores in the country can sell overseas products. Our supply and marketing cooperative also imports a small amount of watches."

"I was inspired by the fact that our country's White Rabbit Milk Candy is doing well and is almost the most representative candy in China at the moment, and it can definitely be promoted internationally.

International business is a two-way street. We cannot be afraid of the impact of imported products on our own products, or that our system will be affected and westernized. The isolation of the Qing Dynasty made us fall behind for decades. Now we must learn from the lesson and find a way that suits us while gaining a firm foothold.

The introduction of foreign capital, technology, and products has brought far more benefits to our people than harm so far, and our products can also be exported vigorously to offset the pros and cons of imports, isn't that good?" An Zhixia said the idea that just came to his mind.

Li Hanqian frowned and said, "There are also White Rabbit milk candies abroad, but the sales are not good, so we haven't expanded it."

"So, the supply and marketing cooperative's previous investment in the TV station will start to pay off. We will promote the White Rabbit Toffees internationally and bundle it with chocolate to enhance its reputation and style. Our Toffees are good in terms of both quality and formula, and can fully withstand the test of the taste buds of the international public."

"You are good at these things, so let you do what you want," Li Hanqian said with a smile, "I have always trusted you."

An Zhixia nodded and said bluntly, "We in Xiahua have a saying that business is business. As the first sponsor of the TV station, the supply and marketing cooperative will charge you a 40% discount on the advertising fee and give you a three-month advertising trial period."

"Okay, money is not a problem. Sister will never let brother suffer any loss, right?" After saying this, Li Hanqian shuddered all over, turned his head to meet Fang Yuan's cold eyes, and smiled awkwardly, "It's Madam Fang!"

An Zhixia smiled and nudged her man with her elbow, "Then Brother Qian will go to the station to sign the formal contract someday."

Li Qian stood up, looked at Fang Yuan, thought for a while, and whispered to An Zhixia, "Brothers should be clear about accounts. Mrs. Fang has given our supply and marketing cooperative such a big olive branch. I will strive for a commission of 1% for you. I know the commission is not high, but this is the maximum profit I can strive for within the scope of operation allowed by the organization.

Mrs. Fang, please don’t despise me.”

"I know Brother Qian is always kind, and I will definitely think of you when I have good things in the future."

After coming out of Li's house, a few people strolled home and met Mr. Jiao who had just returned home.
