"Hello Mr. Hu, I am Chen Dong from Longteng Foreign Trade Company. I heard from other business owners that you have a lot of leather jackets in stock. I would like to buy a batch of them. Is that convenient for you?"
"Convenient, convenient!"
Hearing this, Hu Yong's mouth almost twisted into a grin, and he certainly didn't dare say it was inconvenient.
"Mr. Chen, I have quite a lot of goods here, all of them top-quality leather goods. I wonder how many pieces you plan to buy?"
"Mr. Hu, let's not beat around the bush. I need a large quantity. I wonder what price you can offer me?"
Upon hearing this, Hu Yong's heart raced, his eyes darted around, and he took several deep breaths before speaking.
"Mr. Chen, since you need a large quantity, I'll definitely give you the best price."
"That's good. But Mr. Hu, you should at least give us a price for this leather jacket, right?"
"Then you should name a number too?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Dong said...
"No specific quantity is required. As long as the quality is good and the price is right, I'll take as many as you have. The minimum order will not be less than 30,000 pieces!"
"Thirty thousand pieces...you mean thirty thousand pieces? Mr. Chen, did I hear that right?"
"Yes, at least 30,000 pieces!"
Clang!
Upon hearing this, Hu Yong's mobile phone slipped from his hand and fell to the ground, and he was overjoyed.
Thirty thousand pieces?
Is it really possible for something as good as a pie to fall from the sky?
Hu Yong suddenly felt a sense of unreality; this happiness had come too suddenly!
It wasn't until he heard "hello, hello" on the phone that he realized it was all real.
Hu Yong quickly picked up the mobile phone and spoke into the microphone.
"Mr. Chen... Mr. Chen, are you still there?"
"I'm still here, Mr. Hu, why don't you name a price!"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, if you want 30,000 pieces, I'll charge you 88 yuan per piece."
"88 yuan? That's too expensive! Some manufacturers only quoted me 75 yuan per piece."
"It's all fake, it's all fake!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Yong immediately became anxious and shouted into the phone.
"Mr. Chen, please don't believe them! Those who say they're selling at low prices are all counterfeit. The cost of making a leather jacket is over 70 yuan, how could it only sell for 75 yuan?"
"Let me tell you, all the leather jackets produced in our factory are 100% genuine leather. If you can find a single fake one in my stock, I'll give you this batch for free."
"Okay, give me your address, and I'll bring some people to your warehouse tomorrow. If we can reach an agreement, we can make the deal on the spot tomorrow."
"......"
After hanging up the phone, Hu Yong was overjoyed; this was a big client!
He just quoted 88 yuan per piece, which is actually a bit too high.
Bargaining is a perfectly normal part of doing business.
This also left Chen Dong with enough room to negotiate a lower price.
The actual cost of 30,000 leather jackets for Hu Yong was about 70 yuan per jacket.
If Chen Dong comes over tomorrow, even if he discounts each item to 80 yuan, he'll make a fortune.
......
After hanging up the phone, Chen Dong called Lin Zhiyuan again and asked him to wait at Longteng Foreign Trade.
He then took Wolong and the others and drove to Longteng Foreign Trade Company.
Visiting Longteng Foreign Trade again brought a completely different feeling.
A sign for Longteng Foreign Trade stands at the main entrance.
The four-story office building was clean and tidy, and even the exterior walls had been repainted.
The warehouse and abandoned factory buildings were also spotless.
It seems that the newly hired employees have been quite busy these days, which makes Chen Dong very satisfied.
However, it is indeed a waste of talent to have a group of veterans do only cleaning work. Their real suitable positions are actually security work.
This was also Chen Dong's original intention: to recruit a group of veterans to protect his goods.
Inside the office.
Chen Dong took a sip of the tea that Lin Zhiyuan had brewed and said.
“Brother-in-law, the funds are in place now. Here is one million in cash. You don’t need to tell me the process; I just want to see the result.”
"I'll give you three months. I want to see Longteng Electronics up and running."
"Is that clear?"
"clear!"
Lin Zhiyuan nodded and took a leather suitcase from Wolong, which contained one million yuan in cash.
In later generations, one million wouldn't even be enough to rent a factory, let alone start one.
But these days, a million is a lot of money.
Many unicorn companies with market capitalizations in the hundreds of billions only started with an initial investment of a few hundred thousand yuan. Starting a company with one million yuan is definitely a big investment.
Chen Dong looked at Hua Zi and said.
"Hua Zi, you've worked hard these past few days. However, I'll have to ask you to stay for a few more days. Once things are settled at Longteng Foreign Trade, you can go and become the deputy general manager of Longteng Electronics."
"Brother Dong, I'm not wronged!"
Chen Dong smiled and replied.
“Go to the labor market and recruit a few more employees. They need someone to serve tea and water and do cleaning. Also, hire two cooks to take care of our three meals a day. It’s not hygienic to always eat out.”
"OK!"
Food hygiene is actually quite good these days; there's no such thing as gutter oil yet.
The fruits and vegetables that ordinary people eat are mostly green and environmentally friendly foods, and poultry meat does not contain growth hormones.
However, for safety reasons, Chen Dong decided to open a canteen, which can be considered a benefit for his employees.
After giving instructions to Lin Zhiyuan and the other two, Chen Dong turned his gaze to Jiang Fei and said.
