Chapter 96 Chapter 96 Second Update
Liu Yinshuang also came over: "They are selling their handkerchiefs to this David, and the price is one dollar less than ours."
She could only understand a little bit of foreign language, but she could understand what Yingjun and the others said. She was not afraid of being embarrassed or their cold stares, so she simply stood beside them to listen. After listening to this, she was shocked. These people are a bit shameless! They
are all from the same factory, and they are doing this. Do they still have shame?
The translator also looked embarrassed. He hesitated for a moment and advised Yingjun and the others to think about it carefully. Since they are all from the same factory, the embroidery patterns are different, so it is normal to be a few cents cheaper. If they suddenly save one dollar, isn't it obvious that the previous order is expensive?
But Yingjun insisted that the handkerchiefs at the embroidery factory headquarters had never cost more than three dollars. In fact, they were cheaper before. They had deliberately raised the price considering that the price of the ninth workshop was too high.
The translator was speechless. Yingjun did not wait for the translator to respond. He stretched out three fingers and gestured to David about the price.
The translator looked at David with an unpleasant face. You know, the order of more than five million just now was the first order of this autumn trade fair. It meant a good start. If Yingjun and his team had caused trouble with the previous orders, I am afraid that everyone involved would be criticized.
But what surprised him was that David’s expression didn’t change after he saw Yingjun gesturing the price. He casually looked at the handkerchief Yingjun handed him, then looked at the other embroidery beside it, shrugged, and said to the translator:
“Hey, buddy, tell them for me that although their products are cheap, the pattern is really ugly. No one in our country will like it. Beautiful ladies and elegant gentlemen will not like it. Let alone three dollars, I won’t take it even if it’s one dollar. After all, no one will pay for ugly things.”
Here it comes, what a familiar arrogant and mean speech.
The translator somehow felt that the taste was finally right.
After all, the foreign businessmen from the United States that he had met in the past few years were basically of this tone, self-important, nitpicking, and often devaluing Chinese products.
Although it is really infuriating to speak like this, it is a fact that their country's productivity is lagging behind, and it is also a fact that they want to strive for more foreign exchange to exchange with other countries for the technology and equipment they urgently need. Therefore, even if the foreign businessmen always look high and mighty, they have to serve them carefully.
He thought that this foreign businessman named David had a particularly gentle personality, but it turned out that he was only so gentle when facing Deputy Director Shen and others.
Of course, the translator would not say what David meant directly. He organized the language a little and used more tactful language to explain to Ying Jun that David did not like the products of the embroidery factory. The price was not a problem, he just did not like them.
A group of people at the headquarters of the embroidery factory, led by Ying Jun, looked at each other. They could not believe that this foreigner who could pay four dollars and twelve dollars to buy the embroidery products of the ninth workshop was unwilling to buy their handkerchiefs when the price was reduced by one dollar. He
was not even dissatisfied with Shen Moli because of their low price.
Ying Jun wanted to fight for it again, but before he could open his mouth, David turned around and left.
What made Ying Jun almost vomit blood was that David ignored him, but smiled and nodded at Shen Moli before leaving.
"Oh my god, I'm dying of laughter. That foreigner said they are ugly." Liu Yinshuang finally understood what was said and laughed out loud with joy. Especially when she saw David ignored Ying Jun when he left, and Ying Jun's expression of almost vomiting blood, she laughed so hard that she slapped her thigh.
Everyone at the headquarters of the embroidery factory was so amused by her laughter that their eyebrows were raised, and Ying Jun's face turned pale and blue. Weng Huijun could not help but put her hands on her hips and cursed, "What nonsense are you talking about, country bumpkin? Do you understand? Just say that people say we are ugly things. They have spent more than one million on us, so isn't it normal that they don't want to buy more? What are you making up here? You are really a nobody trying to pretend to be a big-tailed bird!"
Weng Huijun was obviously a good talker, but she didn't know that Liu Yinshuang was even more of a pushover. She was a woman who was famous throughout the Liuqiao Commune.
I saw her put her hands on her waist and shouted loud enough to cover the noises from the nearby exhibition area: "Damn it, haven't you heard that the one who teases first is the loser? I didn't scold you, but you have the nerve to scold me. What's the matter? Are you jealous of the millions of orders we have signed? Are you starting a price war? Do you think that if we sell for four dollars and you sell for three dollars, people will rush to buy from you? Do you think that if they hear your price is so cheap, they will ask us for an explanation? You are such a dark-minded villain. It's a pity that the foreign businessmen have eyes. They opened their eyes and saw that this thing is so ugly, who would sell it to? No one would want it for three cents, let alone three dollars!"
"Didn't you see that I was afraid of being fooled by you, so I ran away quickly? I was disgusted by your stuff, so I left quickly and found a place to wash my eyes! You are the only ones who don't have any self-awareness. Why, you want to blame us when your stuff can't be sold? And you're spreading rumors. I said it clearly. What's the matter? You can't speak beautiful Mandarin, so you think I can't speak it either? You can't even understand 'How are you? Fine, thank you, and you?', and you dare to say that I'm pretending to be a big-tailed bird?! You know a lot, but you don't know as much shit as the toilets in the city!"
Liu Yinshuang cursed for several minutes in one breath. During this time, Weng Huijun wanted to interrupt several times, but she suppressed her momentum and volume, and she had no power to fight back.
The other people in the headquarters of the embroidery factory were simply dumbfounded. There were many female workers in the embroidery factory, and conflicts always occurred where there were people. Cursing fights and hair-tearing incidents happened from time to time, but none of them were as good at cursing as the female comrade in front of them. With
her momentum and speed of speech, she probably had no enemies in the entire Southern Province, not to mention the embroidery factory?
Moreover, she could really speak foreign languages. Although they couldn't understand her, she dared to speak in public, so it must be true, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing to be exposed?
There was already a circle of people outside their booth, and everyone was looking at Liu Yinshuang in amazement.
This female comrade was really good at cursing. No toilet had ever seen as much shit as you. This, this was really, disgusting, but a novel way of cursing!
Being surrounded by so many people, Liu Yinshuang didn't feel anything at all. She was not ashamed but proud. She held her chin high.
She didn't say a word wrong.
These people were the first to tease and deserved to be scolded.
But Weng Huijun, who was on the opposite side of her, couldn't stand it. She had lived for more than 20 years, and this was the first time she was embarrassed in front of so many people.
Weng Huijun's face turned red, and she ran away crying while covering her face.
Liu Yinshuang smiled coldly: "Oh, you are defeated."
Not long after, Zeng Huiru and Chen Jiahua came back.
Zeng Huiru was communicating with the Provincial Department of Commerce to understand the situation, while Chen Jiahua was walking around the venue to understand the products and production conditions of similar companies, and to see if there were any suitable equipment and raw materials.
Nan Province Embroidery Factory has participated in the Canton Fair every year since its inception. Everyone is familiar with the procedures of the Canton Fair. Zeng Huiru and Chen Jiahua naturally did not need to stay at the booth all the time.
As a result, they were hurriedly called back by the venue staff.
In the public eye, Zeng Huiru could not say much, and only said with a sullen face: "You are here to embarrass the factory, not to discredit the factory."
After thinking for a while, she said: "The price of handkerchiefs in the headquarters is unified with that of the ninth workshop. Since it is a factory, we cannot start a price war internally."
Ying Jun pursed his lips, obviously dissatisfied with Zeng Huiru's approach, but finally shut up.
Zeng Huiru had a bad impression of him because of the last incident in the ninth workshop, and he could not offend her again for this matter.
Everyone at the embroidery factory headquarters was a little indignant. An older man, relying on his seniority, couldn't help but say, "Deputy Director Zeng, this price is really too high. In previous years, we were very happy to sign a contract for three dollars. Four dollars or even twelve dollars is simply impossible!"
Zeng Huiru: "Haven't we already signed a contract for more than five million? It shows that this price is acceptable to foreign companies."
Shen Moer had been silent the whole time. She wanted to turn around and remind Zeng Huiru behind her back, but now that they were talking so fast, she couldn't help but say, " I'm so proud of you." After thinking for a while, she interrupted and said, "Deputy Director Zeng, even if they are all handkerchiefs, the prices should be different because of the different patterns and different target customer groups."
Zeng Huiru didn't expect her to say that: "Oh? Then how much do you think the headquarters' handkerchiefs should be priced at?"
Shen Moer: "The target customers of our ninth workshop are wealthy people in developed countries, so our embroidery style tends to be simple and elegant. We also prepared two types of packaging boxes to improve the quality of the products."
"The handkerchiefs produced by the headquarters are relatively common ones, and our target customers should be ordinary people from various countries. If they are too expensive, foreign investors may not be able to accept them. Moreover, other companies should also produce similar handkerchiefs. We just need to set a price similar to theirs, so as to prevent foreign investors from thinking that all our products are more expensive than those of other companies due to the higher price of this one product, thereby affecting the sales of other products."
Zeng Huiru's expression moved slightly. This is indeed a problem. If a small item like a handkerchief is sold at a high price, it will easily make people think that the overall pricing of their products is higher than that of other companies.
She asked Shen Moer: "Aren't you afraid that if they lower their prices, the foreign businessmen will think your prices are too high?"
Shen Moer smiled and said: "Hasn't Mr. David proved that although they are all handkerchiefs, the prices are different in his eyes."
Doesn't this mean that the handkerchiefs from the headquarters are not as good as those from the ninth workshop in David's eyes?
Chen Jiahua was standing next to them.
This girl is really bold.
Zeng Huiru looked at Shen Moer deeply, and finally nodded: "Okay, then Yingjun, you guys just follow the original plan."
Yingjun nodded reluctantly.
It seems that the ninth workshop finally gave in, but in fact, their headquarters' products seem to be inferior to those of the ninth workshop for no reason.
It's too aggrieved.
Chen Jiahua didn't feel offended at all. After hearing how Shen Moer sold the handkerchief, she praised Shen Moer for her careful observation and quick thinking, and said that she would learn from Shen Moer how to promote products.
Then she watched Shen Moer sell another order.
