Chapter 291 Who Said It Better
Jiang Xia smiled.
It is common to encounter disagreements with colleagues at work.
Jiang Xia knew why other people in the shipyard disagreed with Kent Ring's price increase.
Most of them were not targeting her, they were just afraid of being slapped in the face, afraid that the Kent ring would not be sold, and afraid that they would not be able to complete the mission of this Guangzhou Trade Fair.
Because if foreign businessmen do not accept this price, and then lower the price, it would be a slap in the face.
In this era, many of China's industrial technologies lag behind those of Europe and the United States.
A Kent ring is controlled by developed countries and sold for thousands of dollars each.
The people in the shipyard were holding their breath, wanting to turn things around! They also wanted to sell at a high price, but they just didn't dare to.
Of course, there are also people who just dislike themselves and oppose for the sake of opposing, or for personal gain.
Jiang Xia had worked so many jobs in his previous life, so he had encountered this before.
Some people put their personal interests above everything else and forget that collective interests are above personal interests.
When you meet such a person, you should slap him in the face with your strength. A promotion and a raise in salary will teach him how to behave.
Jiang Xia smiled and looked at everyone: "I understand your concerns. Thank you for giving me a day to try! I hope I can sell our Kent Ring at a high price and let the world see our Chinese technology and the technology of our shipyard!"
After Jiang Xia said this, the people who originally opposed it felt embarrassed! They just thought that the price Jiang Xia proposed was too expensive and impossible to achieve, but Jiang Xia was doing it for the good of the shipyard. Just now, they stood up to oppose it one by one, just like ganging up to bully a little girl! More importantly, this little girl just helped the shipyard to make a great contribution and signed an order of more than 30 million! You know, their shipyard’s task at this Guangzhou Fair is an order of 50 million US dollars.
Comrade Jiang Xia had already helped them complete more than half of the work in the first hour of the exhibition! So those who had originally opposed said, "We were wrong just now! Xiao Xia is right, our Kent rings are so good, it is reasonable to sell them at a high price! We should give it a try! If we don't try, those foreign merchants will think that if our Kent rings are so good, why are they cheaper than those from Country D? Are they just a false reputation?"
"As the saying goes, cheap goods are not good! Xiao Xia is right to ask us to increase the price of Kent Rings! Otherwise, those foreign businessmen will doubt the technology of our Kent Rings! We have to give it a try!"
"We should give it a try. Without trying, how can you conclude that our Kent Rings can't be sold at a high price? This will only boost others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige!"
"Xiao Xia is such a young comrade with foresight! We are old and timid, conservative and stubborn, and don't even dare to try! This mindset needs to be changed! Xiao Xia, go ahead and try it! I, Lao Wang, support you!"
"I support Xiao Xia too. Why can't our Kent rings be more expensive than those from Country D?"
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Then I'll try my best! I hope our Kent Ring can defeat imperialism!"
"Of course we can!" everyone said in unison.
Zhou Chenglei had just returned from the toilet and saw that everyone was showing their loyalty, so he came to Jiang Xia and whispered, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Xia shook his head: "It's okay, I'll go outside to take a look, are you here?"
Accepting the new challenge, Jiang Xia saw that the passenger flow was not large and people passing by did not stop at the shipyard.
Jiang Xia planned to go outside to solicit customers, and Zhou Chenglei would be the only one guarding the rear here.
Zhou Chenglei said as soon as he heard it: "I'll go, you stay here."
Jiang Xia: "No, you are more familiar with ships. You stay here and sell Kent Rings to me. I have issued a military order to win a 10 million US dollar order for Kent Rings! And I am not only an interpreter for the shipyard, I also work as an interpreter for other factories. I have to go and see. You stay here and sell ships and Kent Rings. Whether we can make 100,000 at this Guangzhou Trade Fair depends on you! Don't forget, we still owe the shipyard a large deposit."
The orders from shipyards usually start with tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions. For other manufacturers, like food factories, an order of tens of thousands of dollars is considered a large order.
So how much money you can make really depends on how big an order you can sign with the shipyard.
When Zhou Chenglei heard that Jiang Xia's target was 100,000, he stood obediently at the booth and watched Jiang Xia's figure quickly disappear in the crowd.
One hundred thousand is not easy to earn.
After seeing Jiang Xia disappear, Zhou Chenglei looked away and saw a Russian businessman from the machine tool factory next door coming forward to ask questions. The translator at the machine tool factory did not speak Russian and was about to take the businessman to the public negotiation area, so he stepped forward.
***Jiang Xia walked to the entrance and saw a bus parked on the road. A group of foreign businessmen got off the bus and walked towards the entrance.
When everyone approached, Jiang Xia came to a foreigner who was walking very fast and seemed to be in a hurry. "Welcome to the 50th Guangzhou Trade Fair in China. I am the translator here. What products do you want to see at the Guangzhou Trade Fair? I can show you the way and save your precious time."
Just as the foreign businessman was about to ask for directions, Jiang Xia took the initiative to step forward and said, "I want to go and see the textiles. How do I get there?"
Textiles? That was exactly what Jiang Xia wanted! Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Please wait a moment. I'll take you there myself. I'll ask if there are any other friends who also want to see textiles."
Three minutes later, Jiang Xia took seven or eight foreign businessmen who came to see the textiles to the textile exhibition hall.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
When Jiang Xia brought his people to the textile factory booth, Peng Yuhua was explaining the fabrics in Chinese, and Wen Wan was translating Peng Yuhua's words to the foreign businessmen.
Wen Wan frowned when she saw Jiang Xia appear, then used her body to block the guest in front of her.
You want to use her as a translator and make money by just showing your face? No way!
Jiang Xia didn't even glance at Wen Wan. Seeing that Peng Yuhua was explaining seriously, she didn't interrupt. She turned around and smiled and said to the foreign businessmen behind her, "This textile factory is a century-old brand in our country. The fabrics it produces are exported to Europe and the United States. Every year, it can get tens of millions of orders at the Canton Fair, and has received unanimous praise from many foreign friends and countless repeat customers. Do you know why the fabrics of this textile factory sell so well? Let me introduce the fabrics of this textile factory to you."
"Everyone, please take a look at this fabric! This is the newest windbreaker material from our textile factory this year. This windbreaker fabric is not only windproof, but also waterproof. Its yarn count is..."
Peng Yuhua was introducing floral shirt fabric to two foreign businessmen when she heard Jiang Xia's voice. She turned around and saw Jiang Xia introducing the latest windbreaker material to several foreigners.
Peng Yuhua couldn't speak English and couldn't understand, but Jiang Xia spoke English very fluently, chattering and blabbering, a string of English words came out as if they were free!
Seeing how attentively those foreign businessmen listened, you could tell she spoke very well.
Several foreign businessmen had been received this morning, all of whom were translated by Wenwan. Although the negotiations were not successful, she felt that Wenwan spoke English very well, very fluently, and rarely stuttered.
But now, after listening to what Jiang Xia said, even though she couldn't speak English, she could tell that Jiang Xia spoke better than Wen Wan.
Peng Yuhua couldn't help but glance at Wen Wan.
Wen Wan was looking at Jiang Xia in disbelief.
At this time, two foreign businessmen in front of Wen Wan accidentally bumped into Wen Wan. They walked around Wen Wan and came to Jiang Xia to listen to Jiang Xia's explanation.
Wen Wan: “…”
