Chapter 375: Stupid People with Lots of Money
Cheng Hui took out a thin booklet from her briefcase and gave a copy to each person.
The 12 people opened the booklet and their eyes lit up instantly.
Above are 10 European-style dressing tables, a table, and a chair.
I drew a simple sketch and another one with 3D effects next to it.
Cheng Hui's 3D painting skills are not very high, and she cannot make her works as lifelike as professional painters.
But it is enough to fool the layman, and there is no such way of painting now, so it is very shocking when you see it at first glance.
It is as realistic as a photo and can also show the beauty of the dressing table.
The price is also marked on it, the unified retail price is 2980!
"No, this is too expensive!" said a foreign businessman, "We will sell it at this price when we go back. If you sell it at such a high price, we will not have any profit margin at all!"
Cheng Hui said: "This is my suggested retail price for you, and the wholesale price we have set is $980.
"How about this as the installation fee? For one set of dressers, you can install it for the customer for free once. Then at the autumn trade fair, you can come to me with the installation data to exchange the dressers, one for one, and you can pay me another $180."
"This..." is very exciting!
"No!" said the businessman who had mocked Cheng Hui before, "The Autumn Fair is still several months away. We haven't received the goods yet, but we have to pay so much installation fees for free? What if the goods we receive by then are not as good looking as before? Aren't we losing money?"
"Yes, what the gentleman said makes sense." Cheng Hui said, "But I don't know how many retail orders I can sign now, and I don't know if you will take the dressing table but not install it for free. I don't feel at ease if I give you the goods first."
Finally, after half an hour of discussion, the two sides came up with the best solution.
They gave Cheng Hui one day to find out how many people wanted to buy kitchen cabinets and to decide on a number.
They will buy as many dressers as the number of kitchen cabinets ordered, but they have to pay a deposit of half first, $490 per set.
As for the remaining half, they did not pay the balance after receiving the goods, and they will come back with the installation data during the autumn trade fair.
We agreed to exchange one for another.
When the time comes, Cheng Hui will return the deposit to them, and they will pay Cheng Hui another $180.
This means they charged $800 for installation.
If Cheng Hui has no money and cannot get back the $490 deposit, she will have to compensate them with a dressing table!
This way, they earn another 490! Guaranteed profit!
The translator at the next table became numb and stunned as he was talking.
Only after being urged repeatedly by their leaders did they sort out their confused thoughts and continue translating.
Then the leaders who understood it also became numb.
.......
Half an hour later, everyone ended the dinner happily. Everyone was in a good mood, including the two coffin dealers who had no interest in dressing tables or kitchen cabinets.
"Ms. Cheng, if people in cities around me place orders for too few kitchen cabinets, can I place orders for a few dressing tables separately?" a foreign businessman asked.
"Yes, I also want to order a few models separately." said another.
"Then it can only be $980, no bargaining," said Cheng Hui.
"No, it's too expensive, make it cheaper."
"No, no, look at this style, with repeated carvings, it is very time-consuming, labor-intensive and labor-intensive. If it were in your country, it would take more than a week to make this dressing table. How much would it cost?" Cheng Hui said:
"Plus the expensive paint, the 980 is all because our country is in urgent need of foreign exchange. The cost price I gave is not even a little bit of profit. I can't lose money to the country anymore! After all, I have already made a big mistake."
These foreign businessmen were not very good at bargaining, and what she said in the end was all true, so they nodded and said they would go back and think about how much to order.
The two coffin merchants looked at each other again: Time-consuming and laborious? If there are too many orders, will it be impossible to deliver on time?
The deal was basically done and a long time had passed, so everyone was ready to leave.
Cheng Hui collected all the booklets again.
Foreign businessmen don’t want to give it.
Cheng Hui smiled and said, "This is our design. It is not convenient to disclose it before the order is signed. If you want to see it, please come to my booth at the exhibition tomorrow to have a good look."
She was afraid that they would copy it back and she would have no chance of survival.
Labor costs in their own country are indeed expensive, and you may not be able to buy 980 in your own country. However, there are other countries that are as poor as China and have a large amount of cheap labor.
Since their tricks were seen through, everyone handed in their books obediently.
After they left, Cheng Hui looked at the group of leaders standing behind her.
Everyone looked at her and said nothing.
I really didn't know what to say for a moment.
Just a small table and a stool were sold for $980?
No, if you calculate carefully, it is 490+180,670 US dollars, 2 sets, an average of 335 US dollars per set.
The kitchen cabinets use several times more materials than theirs, but they only sell for over 900! Something made with such little material is sold for over 300 yuan!
Even a table with four chairs that uses more materials than these ones only costs $138!
What's more, there are still many people who want to order a set for 980!
They made a lot of money!
But judging from the other party's expressions, they thought they had made a big profit.
Everyone was speechless.
Zhang Liang murmured, "He is really stupid and has a lot of money..."
"Pooh, pooh, pooh! Keep your voice down! Don't let them hear it!" someone said immediately.
Zhang Liang shrank his neck, looked around, and said, "There are no foreign merchants around here."
Everyone was stunned, then their expressions relaxed and they began a heated discussion.
Really, apart from being stupid and rich, they don’t know what to say!
Jiang Ming looked at Cheng Hui and smiled, "It's not that they are stupid, it's that our Director Cheng is amazing."
Everyone immediately looked at Cheng Hui with complicated expressions.
When selling ovens and bowls before, most of the orders were small and retail, while the big orders were all snatched by "grabbing contracts", so no matter how much they sold, Cheng Hui's ability could not be seen.
It can only be seen that she is in trouble!
But selling furniture is different. It is a real transaction, and you can sell cheap items at a high price and make real money.
In fact, what Cheng Hui said is not wrong. Many of the things that are exported to earn foreign exchange are now sold at cost price or have low profits, which is why they can attract a large number of foreign investors.
They just want to exchange RMB for foreign currency, so they dare not make too much money for fear of scaring away foreign investors.
There is really no one like Cheng Hui who is willing to cheat someone to death.
The key point is that the other party thought she was the one being cheated and was quite happy...
Cheng Hui said to Jiang Ming: "Leader, let's talk about this. I think this furniture order will not be signed smoothly."
Jiang Ming suddenly became nervous: "What's wrong?"
