Chapter 353: Auspicious opening, seven orders signed
"Manager, if this doesn't turn out to be a zero-egg situation, will we be criticized?"
Xiao Ma and Xiao Sun asked anxiously, if they didn’t make any business, they shouldn’t be fined, right?
Director Lei glared at the two young men fiercely, and they were so frightened that they shrank their necks and dared not breathe.
"I'll look around, you guys guard the booth!"
Director Lei couldn't sit still anymore. He didn't know where Xiao Luo had gone and he hadn't come back for a long time. He was very anxious.
"knew!"
Xiao Ma and Xiao Sun agreed loudly, and sat up straight with their spirits up. Although the booth was deserted, they could not lose their spirits and must show the new image of the people who are moving forward as farmers.
The mine supervisor touched his cheeks and found that his mouth was full of blisters and his teeth were also aching badly.
He looked around and decided to go to the busiest booths to learn. Even if he got nothing this time, he had to learn some experience and try to come back next year.
Captain Mine put his hands behind his back and took a few steps when he saw Huang Jinxiang walking towards him with his head held high, followed by seven or eight foreigners. He wiped his eyes and it was true, he didn't have presbyopia.
He immediately turned back and shouted at Xiao Ma and Xiao Sun, "Hurry up and get up to greet the guests!"
"Why!"
The two young men stood up in shock, their eyes blank. Where was the guest?
"Everyone, this is our booth!"
"Captain Lei, Xiao Ma, Xiao Sun, take the goblets out of the cabinet!"
Huang Jinxiang walked to his own booth. Xiao Ma and Xiao Sun took out beautiful high-heeled glasses. He picked up a bottle of wine and poured it skillfully, only pouring a shallow layer of wine into each glass. He handed a glass to each foreigner and asked them to taste it slowly.
Holding the wine glass and shaking it in his hand, the rich aroma of wine filled the air. Several foreigners couldn't help but nod their heads. The wine was indeed very good. They took a sip and their eyes lit up.
The fat man was not bragging. The taste of this wine is indeed no worse than French red wine. It is amazing.
"How is it? Is it Wai Rui Good?"
Huang Jinxiang smiled proudly. His red wine was absolutely first-rate and anyone who tried it would fall in love with it.
The wine is good, and with him being the gold medal salesperson, the business is definitely booming!
"Very good, how old is it?" a foreigner asked.
"One year, but our winery has a batch of wine in stock, and there will be wines with longer years in the future." Huang Jinxiang said with a smile.
Several foreigners expressed some regret that if the wine could be aged for more than five years, it would definitely taste better.
Luo Xinxin brought a few more foreigners over, and the small booth instantly became crowded. Director Lei was so happy that his teeth didn't hurt at all. He and Xiao Ma and Xiao Sun turned into waiters and poured wine for the guests.
Everyone was very satisfied with the quality of the wine and finally asked about the price.
"Six dollars and eighty cents a bottle, a very good price."
Huang Jinxiang quoted a price.
"It's too expensive. Your Maotai is only eight yuan."
The foreigners were very smart and started bargaining. Huang Jinxiang was outnumbered by more than a dozen people, but his momentum remained undiminished and he even became more courageous as the battle went on.
"Everyone, our wine is just as good as the French, but the price is only half of theirs, which is already very cheap. How about this? Today is our first collaboration, and we've met by chance after thousands of miles. I'll take the initiative and give you a 20-cent discount, to 6.60 yuan per bottle. We Chinese have an idiom called 'Six Sixes, Great Success', which means two sixes together, indicating that everything will go smoothly. I'm sure your business will prosper and your wealth will roll in."
Huang Jinxiang spoke eloquently, and Luo Xinxin translated for him at the right time. The group of foreigners listened with great smiles on their faces.
Businessmen love to hear auspicious words, and so do foreigners. What Huang Jinxiang said is right. For wine of this quality, 6.6 yuan is indeed a great deal. If they sell it in Europe and the United States, they can definitely make more than half the profit.
Moreover, the packaging of these wines is very exquisite, and they are obviously Chinese in style. Many people will pay for them just for the bottles.
Several foreigners have placed orders, but the quantities are not large. After all, it is a new brand and we don’t know how the market is. We bought a small amount to test the waters. If it sells well, they will definitely place additional orders next year.
In less than an hour, seven orders were successfully signed, and one-fifth of the farm's wine supply was solved.
After signing the contract, the foreigners went to visit other booths, and their booth became deserted again, but Director Lei changed his previous serious expression and now his face was almost broken with laughter.
Today is only the first day and they have sold one-fifth of the wine. There are still several days left in the Canton Fair, so he is not worried at all now.
"Xiao Luo, Lao Huang, you guys are awesome!"
The mine director gave a thumbs up and praised him highly.
In the past, he looked down on Huang Jinxiang, thinking that this guy was slick and not down-to-earth. He also looked down on capitalists like the Luo family, thinking that they exploited the common people and were not good people.
But now I have changed my mind. Everyone has their own expertise, and some jobs can only be done by people like Huang Jinxiang who are good at talking. He can even fool foreigners with his big mouth.
Unlike him, Xiao Ma and Xiao Sun, who can only sit on the bench and worry, and can't do anything.
And these wines, if Xiao Luo hadn't discovered the brewing process from home, how could they have had such a great opportunity to move forward to the farm?
The capitalists are a bit greedy for enjoyment, but if the Luo family's ancestors had not loved food and drink, they would not have been able to make such good wine. They, the common people, only want to have enough food and clothing, so how could they have the leisure time to study food and drink?
Director Lei only dared to think so in his heart and never said it out loud. However, from then on, his attitude towards those who came to the farm for labor reform had a significant change, and he no longer looked down on people in a one-size-fits-all manner.
Huang Jinxiang, who was praised, grinned with great pride, but he still said modestly: "It's mainly because of your good command, Director, and Xiao Luo's overall coordination. I'm just an errand boy."
"Excessive modesty is a form of pride. Just accept the compliment. Work hard for the next few days and I'll give you a raise when you get back!"
Director Mine has made such a big promise, so we must make full use of the talents and not waste them.
"Hey, I will do my best!"
Huang Jinxiang straightened his back and made a loud promise.
He is not very interested in a salary increase now. A further increase would only be a few dollars. He would rather be valued and give full play to his intelligence and talents. It is much happier than working in the fields.
And if he performs well, maybe he can finish the farm transformation earlier and return to Shanghai early!
After the first day of the exhibition, everyone returned to the guesthouse. In the evening, the team leaders from each unit held a meeting to summarize the achievements of the first day.
There were eight units in total, some were happy and some were sad. Director Lei wanted to appear calm, but his smile was harder to suppress than an AK. Among so many people in the room, his was the one with the widest smile.
Everyone thought that Director Lei was worried crazy and had a mental problem, otherwise why would he smile so happily?
After all, they saw that there was not even a sparrow in the booth all morning, it was even more deserted than a nunnery, and it was obvious that the booth was not even open. Director Lei must have been worried to death.
