Zhao Xiaohai and his team had just returned to Hong Kong when they received good news. "Boss, I found an order. A customer wants to order a batch of windbreakers and jeans."
"How many?"
"The initial number will be 30,000. If the sales are good, we will place more orders later."
There are many garment factories and clothing wholesale markets in Hong Kong. For example, Lai Chi Kok mainly sells local ready-made garments, Granville Road mainly sells European and American returned products, that is, European and American versions of export-turned-domestic sales, and Jardine's Bazaar Ladies' Market mainly sells women's fashion, underwear, etc.
Hong Kong's clothing manufacturing industry is so developed, why would you still buy clothes from Zhao Xiaohai and his colleagues? The simple reason is the price advantage.
For example, jeans can be produced domestically. Denim is a thicker, yarn-dyed warp twill cotton cloth, also known as indigo work cloth. The work clothes issued by major factories and mining enterprises in China are actually made of denim.
The domestic production of denim is huge, which keeps the price very low.
As for quality.
The quality of clothing produced by mainland factories is absolutely fine.
The problem before was still in the design. If you use the same cloth to produce work clothes, it will look rustic, but if you use it to produce jeans with a narrow waist and thin legs, it will look fashionable.
In order to sell, Zhao Xiaohai lowered the price. Merchants value profits the most, and people will naturally be willing to buy if they can get cheap goods.
This order,
Zhao Xiaohai was not in a hurry to let Li Ming send it out. He was going to return to China in a few days, so he could just take it back himself.
Shekou Industrial Zone signed an agreement,
This is just the beginning.
There is still a lot of work to be done, but things have to be done step by step. After Zhao Xiaohai makes decisions on some important points, the implementation details will be left to Lao Li and Lao Chen to worry about. Otherwise, why would he hire the general manager?
Zhao Xiaohai stayed in Hong Kong these days, actually waiting for news about fertilizer. This is his biggest business recently and he cannot afford to lose it.
Ring ring ring.
The desk phone rang.
Li Ming answered the phone, said a few words, then held down the receiver and said to Zhao Xiaohai, "Boss, this is Mr. Frunze, please answer the phone."
Zhao Xiaohai took the phone.
"Frunze, is there any news?"
From the other side came Frunze's English with a Russian accent, "Yes, Zhao, the fertilizer has arrived at the port and can be picked up at any time."
"Have you explained everything?"
Frunze smiled on the phone. "Yes, I've already explained it. Fertilizers are most susceptible to moisture, so this kind of thing is inevitable. I also suggested that we improve the packaging domestically, preferably using fully sealed packaging."
The two laughed on the phone.
Hang up the phone.
Zhao Xiaohai said to Li Ming, "The fertilizer has arrived. Please arrange for a truck to transport it through customs and send it to Luohu Port."
"Understood, boss."
After things were settled, Zhao Xiaohai was ready to go back. This trip lasted more than twenty days, and it was already April in the blink of an eye.
Go through customs.
Zhao Xiaohai arrived in Shenzhen, and Xue Ziqian came to pick him up. "Manager Zhao, are you going back to Greentown this time?"
"Yes, I'm going back to Greentown. Please ask Director Xue to book a train ticket for me. Also, the batch of fertilizers has been shipped to Hong Kong and will be delivered to the Luohu Port Cargo Terminal in two days at most. I'll also need Director Xue to help contact the truck to ship it to Greentown." Zhao Xiaohai said.
When Xue Ziqian heard that the fertilizer had arrived, his face was full of joy.
This is a great achievement of his.
"No problem. I've already made arrangements for the wagons these past two days. I guarantee they'll be ready. You don't know how much importance several leaders have given me these past few days."
He lowered his voice and whispered:
"Manager Zhao, this matter has even been reported to the internal reference."
Zhao Xiaohai was shocked.
"What's going on?"
He didn't want to get involved in politics; he knew he couldn't touch that.
"The internal reference said that after the ambassadorial-level dialogue, the two countries conducted normal trade under international rules, opening a new chapter for future trade between the two countries," said Xue Ziqian.
Zhao Xiaohai thought to himself, he just wanted to make some money, how did it escalate to such a level.
He really doesn't want to be noticed.
The next day.
Zhao Xiaohai boarded the train back to Greentown.
As soon as Zhao Xiaohai's train departed, his news spread back to Greentown, including news about fertilizers. Countless people in Greentown were mobilized.
Three days later,
The train arrives at Green City.
Zhao Xiaohai got off the bus at 10 a.m. There was nothing for him to do at home, so he planned to go to Dehua Street first.
Speaking of which,
Since he started his career in Hong Kong, he cared less and less about Greentown's affairs, and basically entrusted all the buying and selling to Zhang Lei and Li Qiang. There was no other way, he was too busy to handle them all. Fortunately, these two guys have been trained, and Zhao Xiaohai has paved the way for them.
Walk into Dehua Street.
When someone saw Zhao Xiaohai, they all greeted him.
"Boss Zhao, I'm back from the Special Zone."
"Manager Zhao, it's rare to see you these days."
Zhao Xiaohai is now a celebrity on Dehua Street. The news of the Overseas Chinese Foreign Trade Company has been spread a long time ago. Some people also know that Zhao Xiaohai has overseas connections and has obtained millions of foreign exchange orders for Greentown and even the Central Plains Province. Now everyone knows that Zhao Xiaohai is a capable person who is not comparable to small traders like them.
Zhao Xiaohai greeted the familiar stall owner with a smile, and soon walked to his own store.
As soon as I approached him, I found that his store was packed with people, bustling and noisy.
What's going on?
Is someone causing trouble?
Zhao Xiaohai walked over quickly and found that there was no one causing trouble, but these people were scrambling to buy goods like crazy.
"Boss, I want these pants. Show them to me."
"Boss, how much is this windbreaker? 85 yuan? Oh my God, this is several months' salary for me."
