Chapter 297 Cousins Meet
After finishing her communication with Ye Wenbin, Su Mo finally had time to go to the exhibition.
She heard that Su Yiyuan's food factory had signed a lot of orders this year, so she went to take a look.
At the booth of Su Yiyuan's factory, there were several foreign businessmen surrounding him. Su Yiyuan was communicating with the foreign businessmen in halting English, speaking and gesturing.
Su Yiyuan lived in Haishi until he was six years old. Su Tingqian had taught him English before, so he knew a little bit. After attending the Autumn Fair last time, he asked Su Mo to get him a book of daily language from the Foreign Trade Center, and he took it back to learn it himself.
So with the addition of body language gestures, he was able to communicate with the foreign businessmen by guessing.
However, the foreign businessman Su Yiyuan was communicating with was from country F, and his English was not very good. The two of them were talking at cross purposes, and Su Yiyuan was sweating in anxiety.
He saw Su Mo coming over, and he breathed a sigh of relief and waved to Su Mo to help him.
With Su Mo's help, communication was much easier. The foreign businessman liked the taste of the scallion pancake, but he thought the packaging was not good-looking. He wanted to ask Su Yiyuan if he could change the packaging for his goods alone, and he could also provide the design drawing of the packaging.
Su Mo understood immediately after hearing this. The foreign businessman did not complain about the ugly packaging, but actually wanted to put his own brand on the scallion pancakes from Su Yiyuan's factory and package them as products under his own brand. Su
Mo made this matter clear to Su Yiyuan, who thought about it and agreed.
He naturally knew the importance of brand, but the scallion pancakes themselves did not have high technical content. He just used some tricks to make theirs taste crispier and more fragrant than others.
Moreover, their food factory was short of money right now, and they needed money to open up many things. As long as they were paid and it did not harm the interests of the country, they would do it.
Su Mo did not stop him, because it was indeed not the time for China to talk about brands.
Seeing that they agreed, the foreign businessman happily took out the packaging design and samples from his bag and gave them to Su Yiyuan, and then directly said that he wanted to sign an order of 300,000 US dollars, but the quality must be the same as the samples he had tasted.
Su Yiyuan's body shook, and he instantly became energetic. 300,000 US dollars, but it was the largest order signed by their factory at this exhibition. He immediately smiled and assured the other party that he would strictly produce according to the quality of the samples.
After signing the contract and sending the foreign businessman away, Su Mo opened a pack of samples given by Su Yiyuan and tasted them. It was indeed good, with a taste a bit like the soda cake of later generations, and it tasted rich in scallion fragrance and very delicious.
"How is it?"
"Not bad!" Su Mo raised her thumbs. With the current technical conditions, it is really good to be able to make something like this.
"Of course, your second brother does have some talent for food." Su Yiyuan was a little proud.
"By the way, second brother, can the taste be maintained? Be sure to pay attention to the packaging. Once it gets damp, it may not be so crispy." Su Mo reminded that after all, they signed a contract. If the taste changes, the foreign business can return the goods.
"Don't worry, I will watch it myself." Su Yiyuan said. This is the first step taken by their factory, and they must ensure that there will be no problems.
The brother and sister were chatting when suddenly a voice called out from the side, "Keira!"
Su Mo turned around and saw that it was Su Jing. She was very surprised, "Louis, why are you here?"
The last two times Su Jing came, he only came during the autumn fair.
Su Jing smiled and said, "Last time, something didn't go through. I happened to have something in Hong Kong during this time, so I came to see
you. I just arrived the day before yesterday." "I heard that you got promoted. Congratulations, Keira."
"Thank you. I also have to thank you for the book you brought me last time. It helped me a lot."
"You're welcome. I'm glad I can help you." Su Jing smiled. It seems that the thing was given to the right person.
"By the way, this is my second brother, Su Yiyuan." Su Mo introduced Su Jing.
Su Jing was stunned, and immediately looked at Su Yiyuan.
He was handsome, but I didn't know how capable he was.
"Hello, Brother Su." Su Jing extended his hand to Su Yiyuan.
"Hello." Su Yiyuan extended his hand and shook hands with him perfunctorily. He was deeply impressed by Su Tingbang's nonsense last time, and he didn't like the people in their room.
"Brother Su also works in the Foreign Trade Center?" Su Jing asked.
"No, I'm here to participate in the exhibition."
"My second brother is the director of a food factory. He brought new products this time. The taste is very good. Louis, you can try it. It's very suitable for Chinese people." Su Mo added.
"Oh?" Su Jing was very interested. At Su Mo's request, he tried several models and placed orders worth tens of thousands for two of them.
"Brother Su, I'll buy a batch now and try it out. If it sells well, I'll place an order with you again."
Seeing that Su Jing was very easy to talk to and not as nagging as the last time, Su Yiyuan had a better impression of him. "Okay, I will definitely deliver the goods to you with guaranteed quality and quantity."
"Okay, then I won't bother you. I'll go look somewhere else."
Su Jing came here in a hurry this time. He had to leave the day after tomorrow at the latest. While there was still time, he had to go see if there were any other business opportunities.
After Su Jing left, Su Yiyuan said to Su Mo, "This guy looks okay, much better than his cousin." "
Every family has its own problems. I guess the children of my great uncle don't get along very well with each other." Su Mo whispered.
Su Yiyuan said "hmm", guessing that it was a fight over the family property. He heard from the old man that my great uncle took a lot of things with him, and he must have done a lot of business there.
*****
It rained heavily in the afternoon and the weather was bad. The museums closed early and people got off work early.
When Su Mo returned to the family compound, she passed by Zheng Guosheng's house and was stopped by Wang Cuimei in the yard.
"Su Mo, wait a minute, I want to ask you for help
with something." "Okay, you tell me, I will help if I can." Su Mo said.
"I also want to buy a TV. Can you help me ask after the exhibition?"
Su Mo was stunned. Wang Cuimei was very meticulous in her life. I didn't expect that she would be willing to buy a TV.
Thinking about the fact that they came to watch TV less and less, Su Mo understood. It was probably because Zheng Guosheng didn't let them come, and the children wanted to watch it very much, so they gritted their teeth and bought it.
But it was also a good time to buy it. After those people fell, there were obviously more TV programs, which were much more interesting than before.
"Okay, Wang's wife, I'll ask for you."
Wang Cuimei thanked Su Mo, who waved her hand to indicate that it was a small favor, and went home.
Wang Cuimei was also very angry with Zheng Guosheng, so she made up her mind to buy a TV.
She was reluctant to spend money on food and clothing, and she worked hard to save a few hundred yuan. Zheng Guosheng actually turned around and wanted to send it back home, saying that his cousin was short of money to get married and build a new house, so he wrote to him to borrow 200 yuan.
Wang Cuimei was so angry. When would the money she lent to his relatives be paid back?
She didn't want to be a sucker. Just when the children were clamoring to watch TV, she thought of buying a TV and spending the money to avoid Zheng Guosheng's worries.
No money, no more to borrow!
