In fact, Zhao Xiaohai doesn’t care who produces the goods. As long as he gets the goods and completes the order contract, he can make money.
How Greentown operates has nothing to do with him.
Three days later,
Zhao Xiaohai went to Luohu Port and met with the staff sent by Qiaokou District. He handed over the contract, cargo list and data information to the other party, who immediately returned without stopping.
Zhao Xiaohai did not go back with them because the trading company here was just starting out and there were some things that still needed his attention. In addition, they had made some progress in the past few days, and Zhao Xiaohai was asking them to prepare some information.
In trading companies,
The office area is very busy.
Someone received an order for 20,000 pairs of socks.
Someone received an order for 30,000 towels.
Someone received an order for 60,000 short-sleeved shirts from a trading company, which were said to be prepared for export to Chile.
Someone received an order for a batch of toys, including a kaleidoscope, a tin frog, a little rooster, and a little mouse.
Some people sell small accessories such as hairpins, clothing buttons, and hair ornaments to local merchants in Hong Kong.
Someone ordered several tons of canned fruit, including yellow peaches, hawthorns, oranges... a total of seven or eight varieties.
One guy actually ordered 20,000 bamboo wastepaper baskets at one time, and planned to export them to the United States.
A salesman came in from outside and rushed to Li Ming. "General Manager, I went to a trading company to sell wooden toys, the kind that look like Huarong Dao tangram puzzles. They didn't like it, but they said they're looking for game sticks recently. Would you like to buy one?"
"What is a game stick?" Li Ming asked.
Zhao Xiaohai had never heard of a game stick, so he went over out of curiosity.
The salesperson took out a wooden box from his bag, which was similar to a child's pencil case. When he opened it, there were colorful wooden sticks inside. They were slightly thinner than pencils and had the same thickness at both ends. Li Ming picked up a few and looked at them.
"Is this made of wood?"
"Yes, it's made of wood, and the little sticks are dyed or patterned."
"How do you play this?"
"Just like that..." He took out all the small wooden sticks in the box, poked them on the ground, and a bunch of sticks scattered. The salesperson picked up one and slowly picked it out.
Zhao Xiaohai immediately complained in his heart.
Isn’t this just the popsicle stick game? He played it when he was a kid, but he used picked-up popsicle sticks.
City kids are really particular.
There are also special toys.
"Where are they planning to export?" Li Ming asked.
"America, Europe."
"How much, what's the price?"
"One box costs $0.4, and we need 200,000 boxes."
Li Ming asked the salesman to go out first, and after closing the door, he looked at Zhao Xiaohai and asked, "Boss, can you make this?"
Zhao Xiaohai thought to himself,
Such a simple thing is so doable.
Even if there is no factory in the country that specializes in this, the leaders will make one for you as quickly as possible. This thing does not require any technical content. Just find a toy factory or stationery factory and they will make it beautifully for you.
If placed in the future,
The finished product can be seen in Yiwu in two days.
"No problem, we can accept this order."
Li Ming nodded to show that he understood.
They are not supported by one or two factories, but by the industrial cluster of the entire province. Apart from those high-tech, sophisticated and high-tech products, they can produce as many ordinary products as you want.
Zhao Xiaohai said to Li Ming, "Old Li, tell them to hurry up and sort out the contracts, production catalogs, and materials. I'm going back."
"Boss, do you have anything to do when you go back?" Li Ming asked.
"We've always communicated through telegrams, and some things simply cannot be explained clearly. I also plan to take the information I collected a few days ago back to let the leaders over there take a look. There are reasons why mainland products don't sell well. Promotion is one aspect, but improvement is more important." Zhao Xiaohai said.
"Okay, I'll hurry up and get ready."
Zhao Xiaohai sent another telegram to Greentown, informing them when he would return. This time he would bring back more than a dozen orders and some information.
The city called back quickly and said they would send someone to Luohu Port to pick up Zhao Xiaohai.
Zhao Xiaohai thought that coming all the way to Shenzhen to pick him up must be a high standard. In fact, Zhao Xiaohai was wrong. Ever since the first $400,000 order came in, the leaders' attention to this place suddenly increased several levels. They decided to set up an office in Shenzhen and be ready to receive new orders at any time.
In fact, setting up an office in Shenzhen was not just for Zhao Xiaohai. All provinces and cities have long had the tradition of setting up offices in places like Yunhai in Beijing. The director of the office was also a very popular figure at that time.
A certain official figure climbed up the ranks step by step from being an office director to a high position.
The establishment of Shenzhen as a special economic zone had just begun, and it had not yet shown its future power. Few provinces and cities had set up offices here. However, from the late 1980s to the 1990s, the number of cities and counties setting up offices in Shenzhen was no less than that in Beijing.
Greentown just arrived early.
Two days later,
Be prepared.
Li Ming drove Zhao Xiaohai to Kowloon Station to take the bus. Originally, he wanted to take Zhao Xiaohai to Luohu Port, which was about an hour's journey, but Zhao Xiaohai refused.
When leaving the customs,
Zhao Xiaohai encountered some trouble.
This time when he went out, he not only brought some samples, but also a lot of information.
Commodities brought through customs will be released after a simple inspection, but books, newspapers, magazines and other materials brought through customs are subject to strict inspection and are generally not allowed to be brought in and will be directly confiscated. However, Zhao Xiaohai had a certificate from his work unit, so the customs had to send someone to review it.
In fact, during this period, the country imported a large number of foreign books and materials, and would send people to Hong Kong to select them. Only after they were reviewed and found to be ok would they be allowed to be brought back. These books brought back would be reprinted and sold in bookstores.
