Chapter 230 Honest and fair dealing, wholesale price 1000
"Hey buddy, what's this 'four'?" a curly-haired man asked in broken Mandarin.
"Is it a toy? How much does it cost?" He seemed very interested in this thing that could sing and spin on the ground.
Just as Li Duomei was about to say 588, Zhang Wei stopped her and said, "Sir, hello, this is a robot vacuum cleaner. Look closely, it's cleaning the floor."
Zhang Wei had worked with his father to receive foreigners and was very knowledgeable about sales techniques for them.
Unlike most Chinese people who pursue good quality at low prices, people in developed countries abroad pay more attention to quality.
To get foreign customers to willingly place orders, you must make them like and approve of the goods.
"Oh my God!" At Zhang Wei's prompting, the foreigner took a closer look and discovered that the rotating thing was "eating" the scraps of paper and fruit peels that Li Duomei had prepared in advance.
It also seems to have a mopping function, leaving the area spotless wherever it goes.
"This is amazing! My friend, did you guys invent this? Or did you buy the patent?" the foreigner asked again.
He believes that China's technology is currently lagging behind, and he doesn't believe that such a good thing was designed by Chinese people themselves.
It must have been a patent that cost a lot of money to acquire.
Yang Qiwen overheard this comment just as he was bringing in the last robotic vacuum cleaner.
He put down the robot and retorted loudly, "This was developed by our Xinghuo University of Science and Technology; it was invented and created by us Chinese."
Seeing his indignant expression, the foreigner quickly apologized: "Friend, please forgive my rudeness."
This person from country D isn't prejudiced; it's just that the image of China as backward has been deeply ingrained in people's minds for so many years, which is why he said that.
For example, mobile phones, which are commonly known as "big brother phones" in later generations, have long existed in their country, but in China, even landlines are extremely rare.
Seeing that it was just an unintentional mistake, Yang Qiwen said magnanimously, "It's alright."
The foreigner continued, "My friend, I really like this little thing and want to buy in bulk. Please give me a reasonable price."
The three members of the Spark Trio, who had always stayed at school and had no business experience, were overjoyed upon hearing the news, their true feelings written all over their faces: they hadn't expected to get such a big order so quickly.
Zhang Weichao gently shook his head at the three of them, signaling them to be quiet and let him handle it.
"Sir, this is a robotic vacuum cleaner. Our Xinghuo University of Science and Technology spent a long time developing it, and the cost was very high. Moreover, I believe that currently only we have this product."
Zhang Wei paused for a moment before saying, "If we want to sell, the minimum order is at least 10,000 units."
"Do you think you can eat this?"
The foreigner thought for a moment and nodded: "No problem."
His father is the company president. Before he came, he was given a purchase quota of 8 million yuan. As long as the robot vacuum cleaner cost less than 8 million yuan, he could get it.
We'll order 10,000 units first, then take them back and discuss with my father about securing the exclusive distribution rights for this product.
Their company is a family business with a current fortune of several hundred million dollars. This wealth is attributed to the father and son's keen insight in securing exclusive distribution rights for high-quality products at the earliest opportunity.
If they can secure the exclusive distributorship for this robot, their family's wealth will double in less than six months.
This foreigner is very confident in his judgment.
"Friend, name your price."
Zhang Wei smiled, held up one finger, and said, "I'll give you a wholesale price of 1,000 yuan per unit, no deception. Our retail price is 1,288 yuan."
When the Spark Trio heard Zhang Wei's quote, their hearts nearly jumped out of their chests: That's way too expensive!
Won't this scare away our big clients?!
