The good news is that the new products, duck necks, duck wings and duck feet, are selling quite well.
However, the number of ducks is limited, and the necks, wings and other items are even more limited. It is difficult to increase production, so we can only do this for the time being.
The batch of goods for foreigners from the bamboo weaving factory was basically completed. For the final coloring part, Jiang Wanyue went to the bamboo weaving factory in person and watched the workers complete it one by one. This was the first batch of goods to open up the foreign market and must be treated with caution.
In early May, this batch of goods was finally successfully shipped out of the warehouse.
Three thousand hand-held packages were loaded onto the truck. Jiang Wanyue and Xiang Lingxiao, along with Accountant Wen, headed for the provincial capital.
Just like last time, at around eleven o'clock, the truck drove to the foreign guesthouse and parked at the back door of the guesthouse, where there was a warehouse specifically for rent to foreigners.
Jiang Wanyue and his group walked into the guesthouse and explained their purpose to the front desk receptionist.
The front desk clerk still remembered Jiang Wanyue, so this time she didn't ask any further questions and directly dialed Smith's room number.
Jiang Wanyue was filled with envy when she saw this scene. She wanted a telephone but couldn't get one yet, but every room here had one.
While waiting in the lobby lounge, this time, Xiang Lingxiao finally dared to drink coffee openly, but he still found it unpalatable. Accountant Wen also found the coffee too unpalatable, so the two of them only had snacks.
As soon as he finished eating, Smith went downstairs.
"Jiang, Xiang, nice to see you again." Smith was very enthusiastic. "We are here a few days earlier than the agreed date. Thank you."
Jiang Wanyue smiled and said, "Mr. Smith is in a hurry to return home, and we are afraid of wasting your time, so we asked the workers to work overtime to produce the products. Please come over here, we will check the quality of this batch of goods, and we will refund the deposit in full if you are not satisfied."
Smith followed to the back of the guest house, where a van was parked in the parking lot.
Seeing Jiang Wanyue coming, Wu Zhiqiang hurriedly got out of the car and opened the door of the rear compartment.
Xiang Lingxiao stepped on it with one foot and carefully pushed the large bamboo inventory frame outward. Wu Zhiqiang followed from below and lifted it down together.
Jiang Wanyue opened the lid, took out a small package and handed it over: "Mr. Smith, please have a look."
Smith picked up the small bag with shining eyes, his face full of disbelief: "It's much more exquisite than the previous samples, it's amazing, I like it very much, I want all this batch of goods!"
Jiang Wanyue said, "Mr. Smith, you should check all the goods. These are handmade products, not machine-made. Random inspections are not representative."
"Jiang, I believe in you." Smith glanced casually and gave a thumbs up. "If people in our country also like it, I hope we can cooperate for a long time."
Jiang Wanyue readily agreed: "Of course."
Next, Smith called his assistant to pay the bill, write the receipt, etc.
Together with the previous deposit, the total amount was 36,000 yuan, all in francs.
Xiang Lingxiao was a little scared, fearing that the money was counterfeit, but he didn't dare to question it in person and could only worry secretly in his heart.
After Jiang Wanyue and Smith exchanged a few polite words, they said goodbye to each other.
"Let's go to the State Administration of Foreign Exchange." She knew what Xiang Lingxiao was thinking, and said, "Foreigners who use counterfeit currency in China will be held accountable. Since he has come to our country, he must have something important to do in our country. If he destroys his own reputation, he will be the one who suffers."
Xiang Lingxiao nodded quickly.
The Foreign Guest House is not far from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, and it only takes 20 minutes to walk there.
This street is lined with departments related to foreign affairs, and many foreigners are walking on the street. Xiang Lingxiao and Accountant Wen have been watching the excitement and whispering a few words from time to time.
After arriving at the Administration, Xiang Lingxiao put away his desire to watch the fun. It was Jiang Wanyue who had negotiated business with Smith before, so now it was his turn to handle the subsequent procedures. He took the francs and walked to the counter.
Jiang Wanyue sat in the hall, flipping through the newspapers on the bookshelf beside her. They were all foreign newspapers. This was the first time she had seen such a thick stack of newspapers, from last year to this year, from all major newspapers and countries.
She quickly picked it up and flipped through it. She had lived abroad for several years, so she had no difficulty reading English. She read the newspaper at a glance and quickly learned about the current economic and political situation in foreign countries...
Xiang Lingxiao was explaining the situation to the staff at the counter: "We just made a deal with the French. This is the francs they paid. We want to exchange it for RMB here."
As soon as the staff heard him speak, they knew he was a country guy because his accent was so strong.
To be honest, I've been working here for so long, but I've never had anyone from the countryside come to do business here.
The staff member looked up, looking a little impatient, but when she saw the pile of francs pushed towards Xiang Lingxiao, she was stunned: "What is this?"
Xiang Lingxiao was a businessman, so he naturally sensed the other party's somewhat impatient attitude, and asked cautiously: "Could you please take a look first, is it real money or fake money?"
The staff member took it solemnly, counted it, and was shocked. This amount of francs was not small, which was equivalent to 36,000 RMB!
You know, the provincial capital has just issued a low-key document recently, requiring large factories in the provincial capital with more than 1,000 employees to attract 100,000 yuan in foreign exchange within half a year. This shows how precious these 36,000 yuan are.
The staff member checked the money and said, "This is real francs. May I ask which company you are from? Did you bring the contract documents? Can you show them to me?"
Accountant Wen next to him quickly took out the order contract.
The staff member opened it and looked at the name of the unit. She thought it was a big factory in the provincial capital that arranged grassroots employees to come and do this, but when she looked at it, it turned out to be a bamboo weaving factory. There didn't seem to be any bamboo weaving factories in the provincial capital... She looked carefully and was even more shocked. This unit was actually a brigade of the Hongqi Commune under Tanzhou City, Lianhu County, and Hongqi Commune under the provincial capital, which was a village-run unit at the most grassroots level!
A village-run unit actually attracted foreign exchange?
It's outrageous!
The staff member adjusted his mood, looked up and asked, "Are you sure this is an order from your factory?"
"Of course, the contract is here, the money is here, there is no fraud." Xiang Lingxiao explained quickly, "Our client is a Frenchman named Smith. You can see it is clearly written in the contract. He is temporarily staying at the Foreign Guest House and has not returned to China yet. If you don't believe me, I will take you to see Mr. Smith in person..."
"That's not what I meant." Seeing that he was getting more and more anxious, the staff member hurriedly said, "I'll exchange it for you now. By the way, the government just issued a document that all foreign exchange income is tax-free, and the government will also reward a corresponding amount based on the order situation. You can go to the second floor and ask later."
Xiang Lingxiao couldn't help but be overjoyed.
