Chapter 234: Image is so important
Jesse thought for a while and said, "If you think the price is not suitable, you can name a price yourself. I can afford it until you are satisfied."
Seeing that his friend liked it so much, Mark had to follow her.
"Yes, girl, if you think the price is not suitable, we can offer a higher price, but Chinese girl, I still have to tell you, don't be too outrageous and hurt your dignity. You invited us here for money, and you repeatedly refused for money. Just say it directly, don't say any excuses like partners. Jesse and I don't believe it at all."
Shen Meng still had a decent smile on her face, and she looked directly at Jesse.
"Money is a good thing. We invite foreign guests to our country to show the good things of our country to people all over the world, not just to make money. This headband is made by women from my hometown. It is impossible to sell it, but I can give it to Miss Jesse for free. China is a country of etiquette. You have traveled across the ocean and worked hard to come here. Even if you don't buy anything, we still appreciate your kindness. "We will treat you well. This is the way of hospitality in our country. It has nothing to do with money. Miss Jesse, this headdress is for you. I hope that you can experience the local customs and culture of my country and appreciate the shock brought to you by the beautiful mountains and rivers. I hope you have a pleasant journey."
After Shen Meng finished speaking, she took off the headdress and put it on Jesse's head. The latter was surprised and suddenly admired Shen Meng very much.
"Thank you very much, girl. What's your name?"
"Shen Meng."
Jesse spread his hands and looked at Shen Meng apologetically, "I'm sorry, Shen Meng. Mark was so rude just now. I apologize to you on her behalf. Thank you for your generosity. This headdress is so beautiful. I feel very happy every day in China." How
can I not be happy? Wherever I go, people warmly entertain me and flatter me. Anyone who receives this kind of treatment feels happy. Shen Meng was complaining in her heart.
Mark was also a little embarrassed. He also apologized to Shen Meng.
Shen Meng is a person who knows how to take advantage of others. Although she doesn't know much about the provincial capital, she still boldly introduces it to the two people. Sometimes she will talk about other places, but mainly about Ning County. She talked about it so much that the two people stood and listened for almost an hour before the three of them separated. Before leaving, Shen Meng specifically asked them where they lived and said that she would go to play with them when she had time.
Jessie readily agreed. She felt like she had met a confidant.
Passersby saw that Shen Meng was so happy to chat with two foreigners, and they also stopped to watch. Foreigners are still very eye-catching in this era, but they seem to like being stared at by nature. When they see that someone is always looking at them, they smile at them. Passersby cover their mouths and shyly take a peek.
Because Shen Meng told them in advance that it was because they were dressed fashionably and beautifully, and they liked them, so they kept looking at them, but they were shy, so they had a strong feeling of stealing.
Mark and Jesse understood this, and they were very generous when facing others.
When Shen Meng returned to the guesthouse, he also sighed that being handsome was still a great advantage. If he had dressed casually today, Jesse and Mark would not have talked to him for so long.
It can be seen that image is so important.
The next morning.
While having breakfast, Shen Meng handed over the latest heavy-duty and embroidered head flowers to Secretary Li.
"Secretary Li, the ones we got here are pretty good, but I think they're not perfect enough. I modified these overnight. Take a look at these."
The head flowers that Shen Meng gave were either decorated with beads, lace, or mesh. Even though they were all men, they found them very beautiful. The service staff walking around were all amazed.
"This, this is indeed very beautiful, but it looks like the price should not be cheap. Xiao Meng, if this is brought over and someone takes a fancy to it, can we produce it?"
"Some of the materials mentioned above are rarely sold in the county. Our county does not have a machinery factory, and it is difficult to get these auxiliary materials. However, there is a machinery factory in the provincial capital. If we can get the assistance of the machinery factory in the provincial capital, then these little gadgets can be made."
Shen Meng does not have the connections to go to the machinery factory, but Secretary Li is confident that if he can get an order for Ning County, the leadership team in the provincial capital will also issue orders to let the machinery factory cooperate.
Creating a foreign exchange registration is a big deal. If Ning County becomes famous, the provincial capital will also benefit. They will definitely be willing. However, if the machinery factories in the provincial capital join in, the cost will increase. There are many twists and turns in the process, such as how to set the price. Secretary Li was a little troubled for a while, because many details have not been discussed. If he investigates the cost now, he will not be able to catch up with today's negotiations.
"If we can get the order for the headbands, we can find a way to solve the subsequent issues. But Xiao Meng, how should we price this headband? We have to consider the cost."
Shen Meng smiled and said, "This is the price. Since we are making money from foreigners, we will naturally price it high. Please take a look."
Secretary Li, Translator Tang, and Secretary Guan all took a deep breath when they looked at the quotation sheet handed over by Shen Meng. A lace hairpin with only two big plastic pearls on it was priced at 1.8 yuan. As for the heavy-duty ones, it goes without saying that they were priced at two or three yuan.
“This, this is also…”
“This is our bottom price, Secretary Li, you don’t need to worry about the quotation, but you must stick to the bottom price.”
Secretary Li: “…”
This bottom price is not that low, it’s just a few cents cheaper, you really dare to ask for this price!!!
At two o’clock in the afternoon, Secretary Li made an appointment with a foreign businessman who was interested in the hair flower. The man had a sharp look in his eyes. He was a fifty-year-old foreign man, and he looked like a shrewd businessman.
"This foreigner is called John. He is a veteran in business. I heard that his business is very big. He came to our country this time because his daughter is curious about and loves the scenery of our country. Do you know why he didn't go to the big cities but came to our provincial capital? This old guy is very smart. He knows that we want to create foreign exchange but don't want to pay a high price. He also wants to get good quality things, so he specifically comes to some second- and third-tier cities. He has already signed a lot of orders in Guangyuan Province. Secretary Li said that he is really interested in the hair flowers, but he is really ruthless in bargaining."
"Understood."
Secretary Guan told Shen Meng in advance that this was not to let her know too much about John, but to let her know how powerful and important this foreigner is, so that she can keep her mouth shut during the negotiation, and can chat with anyone else.
Secretary Li placed all the hair flowers he brought with him on the table. John's eyes lit up when he saw them, but he hid them well when he looked up at Secretary Li.
