Chapter 288 Believe in Jiang Xia's Offer

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "You are right. If you order a ship from China, it will be $100,000 cheaper."

Another translator at the shipyard looked at Jiang Xia in shock after hearing this.

She came to Director Zhou and translated Jiang Xia's words to him, then said, "Director, isn't it inappropriate for Comrade Jiang to say this?"

Although she didn't know how much money the shipyard could make from selling a ship, it shouldn't be $100,000, right? Jiang Xia said that a ship could be sold for $100,000 cheaper, so how could the shipyard make any money?

It is estimated that not only will it not make money, it will also lose money.

Director Zhou had previously praised Comrade Jiang Xia highly, saying that she helped the shipyard with translation once and signed a large order worth tens of millions.

That’s the result?

Wasn’t it signed at a low price?

Director Zhou said calmly: "There is no problem with the price Xiao Xia mentioned."

This girl is very smart! She is the only one who cheats others, why would anyone cheat her?

He was waiting for Mr. Maine to be sold and then count the money for Jiang Xia.

Otherwise, wouldn't it seem like he was stupid for being taken advantage of by this girl?

translate:"……"

Is this all right?

Maine was very satisfied! He planned to order eight cargo ships of more than 27,000 tons, each of which would be $100,000 cheaper, saving a total of $800,000.

China's ships are cheaper than those from Country M. By this calculation, ordering 8 cargo ships from China can save a total of more than one million US dollars, which is almost the price of an entire ship. It's very good!

So Mayne stated his requirements and asked Jiang Xia to name a price.

Jiang Xia told Mayne his request and went to set the price with Director Zhou.

Zhou Changchang looked at the price set by Jiang Xia and was secretly shocked.

He knew that Jiang Xia would not suffer any loss no matter what he ate!

She said it was $100,000 cheaper, but the price she offered was actually $100,000 higher than the lowest price originally set by their shipyard.

This price is almost comparable to that of cargo ships of the same level in some foreign countries.

There is no price advantage!

However, although Director Zhou felt that Jiang Xia’s offer was too bold, why was he so looking forward to it?

When Mai En took the price list, he was also dumbfounded: "Xia, this price is wrong, right? Is this the original price? Isn't this the price that is $100,000 cheaper?"

This price is not much different from the price of the cargo ship he saw in Country M! It's not cost-effective!

Jiang Xia listened, took another serious look at the price list, and then shook his head: "The price is correct, the ship you ordered is this price. It will definitely be $100,000 cheaper per ship than ordering it in other countries!"

Jiangxia doesn't care how much ships from other countries cost, but there are export tariffs. As long as the shipyard does not sell the Kent Ring at a low price, the price will not be low.

Anyway, she had heard from Director Zhou that it would cost nearly 100,000 foreign exchange to import a ship of Kent buckles.

Mai En was so angry that his eyes bulged out: "How can this be cheap? The ships I saw in Country M were not as expensive as yours!"

Jiang Xia: "The cargo ship you saw in Country M has a different configuration than this one, right?"

“Exactly the same.”

Jiang Xia rejected it outright: "Impossible! The anchor chain you chose has a Kent buckle that was newly developed by our shipyard and has not yet been exported. Ships from other countries cannot have this Kent buckle. Also, the anchor you ordered is the latest improved anchor from our shipyard. Our welding technology is also the latest, and other countries cannot have it."

Maine: "These are the only three things that are different."

"That's right! These two things need to be taxed when exported to other countries! Welding technology is also critical, and other countries also have to spend money to buy technology patents, so if you order the same ship in other countries, including tariffs, a ship will definitely be more than $100,000 more expensive than ordering it in China!"

Mayne: “…”

So what she meant by $100,000 cheaper is this how cheap it is? Is that how it is calculated?

"This is the Kent ring produced by your country. It does not require foreign exchange to import. Why is it more expensive than the imported Kent ring?"

Jiang Xia listened and said, "Jill, can I borrow your watch?"

"Of course!" Jill immediately gave the watch on his wrist to Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia looked at Zhou Chenglei, and Zhou Chenglei took off the watch in his hand and gave it to Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia held up two watches and asked Mayen, "Mr. Mayen, which of these two watches do you think is more expensive?"

Mane pointed to Jill's watch without hesitation: "Of course it's this one."

"Why?"

Mai En: "This watch has a better movement, finer workmanship, more powerful functions, automatic winding, waterproof, and the case material is better than the other one. The technology is different, so of course the price is more expensive!"

Jiang Xia: "Mr. Mayne is right. Then take a look at these two Kent rings! One is from China, and the other is from Country D."

"Are the Kent rings from China more finely crafted?"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Two sets of disassembled Kent rings were placed there, and it was obvious which one was more finely made.

Foreigners are still very honest, and Maine can't say anything wrong.

Jiang Xia then continued, "Take a look at this material. Is it better than the one in China?"

Mayne could only nod.

Jiang Xia continued: "The load-bearing capacity of our Chinese Kent Ring is more than 70 tons more than that of this Kent Ring from Country D. Isn't it more powerful?"

This cannot be denied.

Mayne nodded.

"So should our Chinese Kent rings be more expensive than those from country D? Precision work knows no borders. Whoever has better technology will have higher value! High-tech inventions are given corresponding value. This is a respect for engineers who are dedicated to studying technology and achieving higher achievements."

"Well said!" An old man applauded.

Jill clapped along.

Jiang Xia glanced at the old man, surprise flashed in her eyes. She didn't expect it was the old man she met at the train station before. She smiled at the old man and continued:

"So the reason why Mr. Maine ordered a ship that is expensive is because of this. Actually, it is not that expensive. Compared with ships from other countries, our ships are definitely better equipped and more technologically advanced than ships from other countries at the same price! Mr. Maine will definitely not lose out if he orders it back."

"We Chinese people value a good start. If Mr. Mayne is the first to order a ship today, we can offer a discount of another $50,000 per ship."

"Would you like to order it, Mr. Mayne?"

Maine shook his head. "The price is too high! It's more expensive than the boat I saw in Country M, and more expensive than the one Jill ordered! I'll order it if it's $100,000 cheaper."

Jiang Xia said, "Mr. Gill ordered the boat two months ago. At that time, the boat price had not increased, and we had not yet developed this Kent ring and anchor, as well as welding technology, so the price was naturally cheaper. If Mr. Maine thinks it is expensive, you can use the ones imported from Country D instead of our Kent ring and anchor. The Kent ring and anchor imported from Country D can be another $50,000 cheaper."

Mayne: “…”

When did it become cheaper to use Kent rings and anchors imported from Country D?

However, the new Kent rings made in China are indeed better.

There are authoritative test reports!

After comparison, if there is a good one, of course I will use the good one!

So why would he be happy to use the Kent Ring from Country D? He just thought that ordering a ship from China shouldn't be so expensive, it should be cheaper than that from Country M, not more expensive than that from Country M.

"If you reduce the price by another $50,000, I'll order eight ships!"

Jiang Xia shook his head: "A discount of fifty thousand dollars is already a lot. The eight ships have a total discount of four hundred thousand dollars. At this price, this kind of ship, if it uses our Chinese Kent rings and anchors, it is absolutely impossible to order it. And this discount is only for the opening day!"

The old man then asked, "The discount is $50,000. Is this only available to the first customer who orders the boat?"
