Chapter 83 Too Frustrated (asking for monthly ticket)
Chen Yi felt a little envious as she watched Ma Li negotiate with the staff skillfully and generously.
Women in the workplace are indeed very attractive, capable at work, and very confident, which is very important.
After a round of negotiations, Ma Li turned her head away with a cold expression, and it was obvious that she was in a bad mood.
Chen Yi didn't say anything. From their conversation just now, she learned that the merchants wanted to bargain.
For an ordinary shirt, they would only buy it if the price was reduced by 50 cents.
Although 50 cents may not seem like much, it is a lot of goods. Ten thousand pieces would cost 5,000 yuan.
What about the others? If they all cut their prices, will they still make money?
What this means now is that what was agreed upon previously is no longer valid and the price has to be reset.
Ma Li stood outside, looking at the busy streets, resisting the urge to curse.
The two of them returned to the hotel, this time without anyone else.
Chen Yi said: "Director Ma, how do we deal with this matter?"
Although she had never been involved in export trade, whether it was business or daily trade, this kind of behavior of going back on one's word at the last minute was the most annoying.
But now it's a planned economy, and they are racking their brains to earn a little foreign exchange from foreigners.
After all, the money is in their hands, so even if they regret it, there is nothing to say.
If you want to make money, you don’t have to rob people.
If people are satisfied, they will pay.
Mary bit her lip and frowned.
This matter is very troublesome. We had already discussed it, but today this happened again. Who can be happy?
She sighed and said, "I'm going to call the factory first and ask. You wait here for me."
There is a post office nearby. Although sending a telegram is better, it is still faster to call nowadays.
The most important thing is to let the factory know the situation here.
Chen Yi watched her go out and did not ask to follow her.
Because she was not qualified to participate in some things, this matter was handled by Ma Li, so naturally she should be the one to negotiate.
Chen Yi sat on a chair, looking at the clear sky outside. The weather was also very hot.
Fortunately, Ma Li reminded her to bring summer clothes, otherwise she would have to go shopping when she arrived.
She looked around and saw that there was no movement outside, so she took out a glass of iced watermelon juice from the space and drank it.
This is served in a teacup, so it doesn't matter if someone sees it.
After drinking, Chen Yi quickly put the cup into the space and sat there waiting.
About half an hour later, Mary finally came back.
There was no expression on his face, but it was obvious that he was not very happy.
Chen Yi poured her a glass of water and said, "Director Ma, drink some water."
Ma Li took it, nodded, and sat down to rest.
There was sweat on her forehead, and I didn't know if it was because of the heat or what.
Seeing that she drank the water, Chen Yi asked, "Director Ma, what did the factory say?"
This is something you can ask. After all, the factory has made the decision, so you can tell it.
Ma Li sighed and replied breathlessly: "The factory agreed."
This was the most painful decision. In addition to the shipping costs, there was also the cost of the clothes themselves. It was almost like all my efforts were in vain.
Although it cannot be said to be a loss, but with so many clothes, I only made tens of thousands of dollars. How can this be considered making money?
On average, even the labor costs are not enough.
If you go to a state-owned tailor shop, they will charge one or two yuan for processing a piece of clothing, let alone such a large factory.
Chen Yi was a little surprised when she heard this, but it was also expected.
Now, in order to earn foreign exchange, just sell as long as you don’t lose money.
But such behavior is damaging the factory. So many people are working in vain. It’s suffocating just thinking about it.
She thought for a moment and said, "Director Ma, shouldn't we try to fight for it? We haven't even talked to them about it, and they just agreed directly. Will they become even more aggressive in the future?"
"Even if they don't get worse, they still think we are easy to bully."
In fact, this is no longer a matter of people thinking that you are easy to bully. If you continue like this, I'm afraid it will become worse.
Ma Li hesitated for a moment, feeling somewhat unwilling. "But if it still doesn't work, won't I be slapped in the face?"
She didn't care, but she was afraid that she couldn't explain it clearly and others would think she was begging him.
Chen Yi didn't expect that she would be afraid of this, so she said, "If you are afraid of losing face and losing profits, I don't think it's advisable. How could those businessmen in the past have shamelessness? Isn't it just for making money?"
"But today we are risking our lives to earn foreign exchange for the country. It's not shameful at all! Director Ma, I can go and tell him."
"No matter if it succeeds or not, I want to fight for the factory and the organization!"
She had to say this upfront, after all, she wasn't sure if she could convince the other party.
If that doesn't work, she's also considering the situation in the factory.
Ma Li was a little moved when she heard this, and she was touched in her heart. She didn't expect Chen Yi to be so bold.
Thinking about myself, I felt a little ashamed for a moment.
She immediately nodded and agreed, "Okay, Chen Yi, I trust you! No matter if it succeeds or not, you are a good comrade to me!"
"I'm not very good at foreign languages, so I'm relying on you to negotiate. If you have any questions, just give me an eye contact!"
No matter what, she is responsible for this incident.
If I can gain benefits for the factory, it will be a glory for me.
If it doesn't work, they have tried their best, and the factory has already agreed.
Success or failure doesn’t matter.
Of course, it became the best.
Next, Ma Li explained her the task of this job.
Because Ma Li wanted to bring her out to broaden her horizons and let her learn.
But who would have thought that such a thing would happen?
So he never talked to Chen Yi about work issues, just let her learn as he watched.
By the time the meal came, Chen Yi had a general idea of what was going on.
Anyway, there won't be any problem with the conversation. After all, the purpose of selling things is to raise the price. Just go for this purpose.
The next morning, the two of them changed into their best clothes and set off.
Ma Li first went to the place where the work had been handed over and asked her colleagues to help her make an appointment with someone.
The agreed time is lunch at noon, we can eat together and then talk about work.
Seeing that she had made an appointment, Chen Yi prepared herself and thought about what to say later.
If you stick to the facts, I'm afraid no one will listen.
After all, this is not the first time they have done business with us. They just want to lower the price. That is their purpose.
What Chen Yi needs to do is to find a way to raise the price.
Even if the price cannot be raised to the same level as before, we have to raise it by another two cents so that the wages can be paid.
At least they won't be as passive as they are now, and people won't think that they are easy to talk to and can lower the price by just bullying them.
How can we do business with them in the future? Do we have to agree to lower the price every time?
If it really comes to that, wouldn't it be so frustrating?
Thanks to Guanyang, the cat living alone, for the reward.
Please give me a monthly ticket, please (_)
