Thanks to the help of Julie and Ariel, Huang Qinqin signed a one-year contract with George effortlessly.
Although Huang Qinqin spoke eloquently yesterday, saying that the audience for puppets is foreigners.
They also said that once the Canton Fair officially begins, there will definitely be orders.
But she was actually quite unsure of herself, since it was her first time attending the Canton Fair.
In theory, these plush toys should be popular with foreigners.
But that's only in theory.
So now that she has George as a backup, she's not so afraid.
The worst outcome would be that there would be no more orders after that.
But George's order alone was enough to support the entire puppet workshop.
After seeing George and his family off, Manager Gao finally had time to ask Huang Qinqin a question.
"Qinqin, didn't we agree before that we'd buy a thousand plush toys and get a hundred free?"
"What I see in your contract is that it only offers a discounted price, but doesn't mention any freebies?"
Of course, you can earn more if you don't give away the workshop.
But Manager Gao mainly wanted to know: "Will we still offer this as a free gift when we negotiate orders with other people later?"
Huang Qinqin shook her head and said matter-of-factly, "Of course I won't send it."
"We won't send anything to Mr. George, nor to anyone else."
“I originally wanted to tell Mr. George about the freebies, but he asked us to give him the lowest price.”
"And they demanded that we not sell to American merchants at the same price as them in the future."
"They said the price we sell to other American businessmen must be higher than theirs."
"So I thought about it and decided to just cancel the gift."
Huang Qinqin felt that it was better to put in more effort for orders that might not even be fulfilled in the future.
It would be better to make more money directly from George's order.
Manager Gao glanced at the price that she and George had finally agreed on.
Then, somewhat uncertainly, he asked, "The price we're giving George now is two dollars and sixty cents for the smallest plush toy."
"Does that mean that from now on, all transactions will only be at a price higher than this?"
Huang Qinqin nodded affirmatively: "Yes, it can only be higher than this price."
"The same applies to other sizes of plush toys; they can only be more expensive than Mr. George's."
Looking at the price of the largest plush toy, Manager Gao couldn't help but complain, "Selling a plush toy for twenty yuan, will anyone actually buy it?"
Huang Qinqin looked at him speechlessly and reminded him, "Manager, you're one of the sellers too."
Is it really okay for you to say that?
"And to be honest, people who are willing to buy it are willing to buy it even for twenty yuan."
"Those who are unwilling to buy it won't buy it even for two yuan."
"Just like clothes, people who aren't wealthy won't even consider buying ready-made clothes."
"That's why ready-to-wear clothing prices have always remained high, because it's not meant to be sold to ordinary people."
"Our dolls are the same."
Manager Gao scratched his head, deciding that he should give up on the idea.
Anyway, Huang Qinqin is definitely more concerned than him; she will naturally be anxious if there are no orders.
......
After the Canton Fair officially begins.
Huang Qinqin then divided the products into several categories.
Huang Guiming and Fang Chuchu were put in charge of the pickled vegetables and bamboo cups.
She and Dun Dun were in charge of the puppets.
Because Huang Qinqin and Dundun both speak foreign languages, Xu Hongxia specifically translated for Huang Guiming and the others.
The tasting event held at the department store was very successful. Many people who had tried the product came back specifically to buy it.
So Huang Guiming and his team continued the tasting activity at the Canton Fair.
The neighboring Red Star Pickled Vegetables had no choice but to join them in the tasting.
However, their pickled vegetables, while not exactly bad, were just average in taste.
Therefore, after trying the food, most people became even more determined to choose Huangjiacun pickled vegetables.
Because everyone who signed the order signed a confidentiality agreement.
This left the people at Hongxing Pickled Vegetable Factory completely baffled as to why these people would rather buy three yuan's worth of pickled vegetables than theirs.
No matter how conflicted or struggling they are.
In previous years, their orders were still mostly taken by Huangjiacun pickled vegetables.
Meanwhile, things are progressing very smoothly for Huang Qinqin and Dundun.
After the incident involving Julie and Ariel, Huang Qinqin came up with a good idea.
They specifically target foreign families or those with children who come together.
Once he sees a suitable target, Dundun will carry a plush toy, walk up to them, and beckon them to come and take a look.
Then Huang Qinqin was in charge of chatting with the adults, while Dundun was in charge of winning over the children.
This trick isn't foolproof, but it'll work about eight out of ten times.
However, their orders are not very large.
In fact, most of them are just buying a set for a child, and the goods can be delivered on the spot.
However, little by little, it adds up, and after the Canton Fair ends...
Huang Qinqin did a careful count and found that she had more than 50 orders out of the more than 1,000 orders she had.
In addition, there are also some smaller orders of a few hundred or tens of dollars.
Overall, this trip to the Canton Fair was worthwhile.
The situation with the pickled vegetables was even more outrageous.
In Hong Kong alone, there have already been six orders for more than 10,000 bottles each.
However, it seems that the order for 10,000 bottles from Hong Kong was introduced by the same Hong Kong purchasing agent.
Because their requirements are all the same.
