Looking at Shen Fei's incredulous expression, Wu Changfeng scratched his head and said, "What's so strange about that?"
Shen Fei was shocked.
Isn't that surprising?
They were able to secure orders at a World Expo hosted by foreigners.
What an honor this is!
It's important to understand that securing orders at the Canton Fair is no easy feat.
Although Shen Fei knew about Wu Changfeng, who shone brightly at the Canton Fair, that was, after all, his home turf.
Football matches are divided into home and away games.
We're playing away from home now!
On American soil, what could be more impressive than this!
There's a lot to be done!
We can even report back on it, proving that our trip wasn't in vain and that we didn't waste the country's money!
Shen Fei was genuinely excited. Although he was an official and held a relatively high position, he was truly shocked.
Shen Fei asked, "How many contracts were signed?"
Wu Changfeng counted on his fingers and said, "Let me see, 150,000 units, $410 per unit, how much is that again? Shi Que, give me the calculator."
"Give me nothing!" Shi Que exclaimed, his mouth agape. "I could do the math myself! Over sixty million US dollars!"
Wu Changfeng coughed lightly, his expression unreadable: "Not that many. Of those, 50,000 units might cost $400 each."
"That's still quite a lot!" Shi Que exclaimed!
Damn, a private company made so much money in just one morning, is this even human?
Suddenly, the baijiu didn't taste so good anymore.
Shen Fei stood frozen in place, and the people around him gaped in astonishment.
Shen Fei's mind was buzzing. Sixty million in just one morning! There were still two days left in the World Expo.
This is going to break 100 million!
Seeing that Wu Changfeng was quiet and obediently following the team, without putting on any airs, he had secretly made so much money.
That's some serious talent!
Shen Fei swallowed hard: "There's no exaggeration involved, is there?"
Wu Changfeng laid out the contract: "The contract has been signed."
Shen Fei turned to the translator beside him and said, "Take a look at the contract."
"Good leader."
The junior translator looked at the contract and clicked his tongue in disapproval.
"Boss, these are indeed formal contracts. There are contracts from Walmart, island nations, and Europe."
Shen Fei gasped, couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and said, "Well, this is the glory of our group, the victory of our team, we must write a good report about it."
"The accompanying reporters will interview them as subjects of publicity, so that the Chinese people can see that our mainland companies are also capable and can carry the banner!"
The reporter replied, "Yes, sir."
Wu Changfeng scratched his head: "No need, right? I'm very busy here."
Shen Fei said seriously, "No! How can we not promote the products we've secured in foreign markets? This proves that our products can go global, and it will encourage more companies to expand overseas and connect with the world!"
Wu Changfeng sighed. Now is really not the time for mainland companies to go out and compete head-to-head with international products.
Their companies have been developing for many years.
We've been in this reform process for five years now, so what do we have to compare ourselves to others with?
It's an instant kill, isn't it?
Now we should learn more about international technologies, humbly seek advice, and first compete fiercely within the mainland. Only the strongest and best can then go global.
Otherwise, blindly competing will only result in being utterly crushed.
These were things Wu Changfeng couldn't say aloud, which clearly meant Shen Fei had a different perspective.
Shen Fei believes that since Europe imposed sanctions on television sets, the mainland's television industry has been in dire straits.
Seeing this situation, Shen Fei would occasionally express his thoughts: losing one Europe is not a big deal, we can still expand into Latin American countries.
It has to be said that Shen Fei's thinking is quite interesting.
Latin American countries were indeed powerful at that time.
Between the 1960s and 1980s, almost all Latin American countries took off.
Peru and Venezuela, in particular, are two countries where one sells bird droppings and makes a fortune, and the other sells oil, with their per capita GDP approaching that of developed countries.
They enjoyed a period of glory and were quite dashing.
At that time, Latin American countries were like an inflated fat man.
They seem incredibly powerful on the surface, but a few years later they're driven to rock bottom.
Only the mainland is the most resilient.
However, the mainland's trajectory did not develop as Shen Fei had imagined.
Instead, the television industry within mainland China began to engage in fierce infighting.
It once made foreign brands afraid to look directly at its brilliance, and some even withdrew from the mainland market for a time. Only after things returned to normal did they quietly return.
This is thanks to increased national income, which has led to stronger consumer demand.
This solidified its status as the world's largest market.
Unable to stop Shen Fei's interview plan, Wu Changfeng reluctantly began the question-and-answer session.
But this process was interrupted before it lasted long.
After the old customer left, a new buyer became interested in bladeless fans.
Especially in countries near the tropics.
However, these buyers were not as powerful as Mike and others.
After all, this thing is not cheap at $410, and the cost of living in tropical countries is lower than in established countries.
They only purchase a few thousand to ten thousand units of goods at most.
There's no other reason than that this is something that only the top-tier families can afford.
Buying too much stock just results in inventory piling up in your hands.
The new country, however, has 20,000 units; this country is quite wealthy.
Even China's reform and opening up policy drew on some of the measures implemented by this country.
But the scale is too small; 20,000 units is already a pleasant surprise.
Merchants from Mediterranean countries also make purchases, which does not conflict with Edward's interests.
Edward's main area of activity was Central Europe.
Interviews and contract signings took place intermittently.
