Chapter 98 Chapter 98 Second
Update The people at the headquarters of the embroidery factory on the other side of the booth also saw that David was clearly looking at this direction and was walking towards this direction with firm steps.
Ying Jun couldn't help but exclaimed: "No, he is not here to place an order again, is he?!"
If it weren't for the fact that feudal superstition is not allowed now, Ying Jun would have wanted to say, did Shen Moer save David's family's lives in her previous life, and he was repaying her like this in this life?
A handkerchief for four dollars, a square handkerchief that looks like a handkerchief for twelve dollars, isn't this a rip-off? In all the days of the whole venue, I have never heard of anyone else selling it at this price.
Did David's money come from the wind? He has already spent more than five million, and he doesn't want to continue spending, right?
Under the gazes of both sides, David strode to the booth of the embroidery factory and showed his white teeth to Shen Moer: "Hello, Sheng Xiaojie!"
Shen Moer smiled and greeted: "See you again, Mr. David."
David turned his head and shouted in beautiful Mandarin to the people coming and going: "Hey, buddy, hurry up!"
Shen Moer followed his line of sight and saw Paul in the crowd, wearing a cotton long-sleeved hoodie and looking very low-key. Paul was walking slowly at first, but when he heard David calling him, he quickened his pace and walked to the booth to greet Shen Moer: "Hi, beautiful lady, see you again."
Shen Moer nodded: "Mr. Paul."
David dragged Paul to chatter in rapid succession, Paul followed the direction he pointed and saw the silk and embroidery on the display stand. His eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at Shen Moer and asked politely, "Madam, Can I touch these beautiful things?"
Shen Moer smiled and said, "Yes, but you have to be a little careful. This fabric is rare and easily damaged."
Paul didn't know whether he understood or not, but his expression was obviously more serious. He carefully touched the white satin, then bent down and carefully looked at the embroidery sewn on it. After a long time, he raised his head and said, "It's so beautiful, the fabric is beautiful, and the embroidery is also beautiful."
David was obviously an impatient person. Even though they didn't speak the same language, he would interrupt from time to time. At this time, he started talking in a gibberish that Shen Moer and the others couldn't understand.
The translator came over at some point, stood aside, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile: "Mr. David said that he is very wise and has good vision. He saw this beautiful satin and embroidery when he passed by our booth two days ago. He thought it was very suitable for Mr. Paul. He asked Mr. Paul if he should thank him and buy him a drink later."
Liu Yinshuang and Li Xinmei couldn't help but chattering behind them:
"This foreigner is quite boastful. He is quite wise and has good vision. Haha, but since David said so, we have to support him. If he didn't have good vision, would he have chosen us?"
"I wonder if this Paul is as straightforward as David. I have a feeling that whether we can exceed 10 million depends on this Paul."
People from the headquarters of the embroidery factory were chirping at a farther distance:
"No, this David is sick. It's not enough that he is being fooled, he even drags his friends to be fooled?"
"This guy can't be as stupid as David, their embroidery is more expensive than a handkerchief. What can this thing be used for if it is not for food or clothing?" "
I don't like it, I don't like it, don't sign, don't sign."
For a moment, almost everyone's eyes fell on Paul.
Paul was totally unaware, and he looked down at the embroidery and fabric for a long time before he stood up and exclaimed, "I really should thank David. If it weren't for David, I would have missed such a beautiful thing. I wonder what the price of this beautiful embroidery is?"
Shen Moer smiled and said, "Today is the last day. We have already signed a lot of orders, so there is no need for us to bargain. I will give you the same price as everyone else." , fifteen dollars a piece, is that okay with you?"
At the embroidery factory headquarters, Weng Huijun simply gritted her teeth and said, "Paul will not agree to such a high price, I have inquired about it, because their embroidery pieces are too expensive, they have not sold many, and it seems that they have only signed orders of several hundred thousand dollars."
Ying Jun frowned. If there was anyone on the scene who least wanted the Ninth Workshop to sign orders of over 10 million, it must be him. He finally got on the Canton Fair trading delegation this time, just to accumulate some achievements. Now the whole situation is already very unfavorable to the headquarters. If the Ninth Workshop exceeds 10 million, then the headquarters will be compared with nothing, and all the achievements will be equal to zero.
However, Paul did not answer Shen Moer's question, but asked: "Besides these, do you have other paintings?"
Shen Moer took a while to understand what he meant. She smiled and took out two pieces of drawing paper from her bag: "These are the ones I drew when I had nothing to do these days. You can take a look."
Paul took them and gave Shen Moer a thumbs up.
Then, he quickly pointed to the embroidery on the exhibition stand and said: "These, I want 50,000."
Then he pointed to the drawing paper: "New ones, I want to get the exclusive agency rights in the United States, the price can be higher, and I can't sell them to others, okay?"
Shen Moer raised her eyebrows: "Business is business, as long as the price is right, we can talk."
Paul smiled and shrugged: "Of course, I am sincere and there will be a suitable price."
Shen Moer nodded and led people to the negotiation room.
David and the translator followed, and Liu Yinshuang followed quickly. Li Xinmei stood there, staring at Jin Caifei in a daze: "Deputy Director Jin, how many did that foreigner just say he wanted?"
Jin Caifei had a complicated expression: "Fifty thousand, plus the new designs, maybe more."
Li Xinmei: "Let's sell them for fifteen dollars each, fifty thousand, how much is that?"
Jin Caifei felt his heart pounding and his ears buzzing. He couldn't tell whether he was happy or excited. After a while, he said: "At fifteen dollars each, fifty thousand is seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars."
"Then how much do we have in total?"
"If the contract is signed successfully, it will be at least 10.27 million."
Jin Caifei knew Shen Moer a little bit. He said that he would go to the negotiation room to continue discussing the contract, but Shen Moer would never give in on the price. She didn't raise the price, and it would be considered as being generous to sell her something else.
Therefore, under the circumstance that the price would not be reduced and the contract could most likely be signed, their total order volume of more than 10 million was basically set in stone.
Jin Caifei recalled that she and Mao Jianxin had been negotiating Shen Moer, and felt that the patterns she chose were too plain and did not meet the market demand. Even if she participated in the Canton Fair, she would probably not be able to sign many orders.
Thinking about it now, these words turned into a slap in her face, and she felt that her face was really slapped.
Who could have thought that even when they signed a contract worth more than 5 million on the first day, Jin Caifei just thought that Shen Moer was lucky. When the number of orders signed later dropped sharply, she felt the same as those people in the headquarters of the embroidery factory. After losing their luck, the ninth workshop would not be able to make any waves.
Now thinking back, how ridiculous she was. It was her first time to attend the Canton Fair, and she signed a contract worth more than 5 million on the first day. She actually had the nerve to say that she would not make any waves.
In fact, from that time on, she knew in her subconscious that Shen Moer was very powerful. She actually thought that Shen Moer could make a bigger wave.
She just didn't dare to face this reality.
Li Xinmei was in a daze. Since she came to Guangzhou, she felt that money was no longer money.
I think she was earning more than 30 yuan a month. She used to think that her income was good. She was basically ranked high in the village. But here, who can tell you how much? The bills they signed out were not even in thousands. The minimum was tens of thousands of US dollars. The most were hundreds of thousands, millions or even millions.
I have never heard of such a lot of money in my life!
Well, now the calculation unit has been changed again, to tens of millions, one million, how much money is that!
Li Xinmei laughed excitedly: "Deputy Director Jin, we signed more than 10 million, our ninth workshop, signed more than 10 million!"
Jin Caifei was silent for a moment, and also laughed: "Yes, we have exceeded 10 million!"
On the other side, the contract with Paul was successfully signed, and the two parties shook hands and said goodbye at the door of the negotiation room.
Shen Moer looked at Paul's face, and suddenly a light bulb flashed in her mind. She remembered that on the first day of the exhibition, when she was eating in a state-owned hotel, she had seen a foreigner flipping through a clothing magazine. Wasn't that person Paul in front of her?
Shen Moer thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Paul, Mr. David, it's a rare opportunity for you to come to China. As the host, I would like to fulfill my duty as a host and invite you to have a meal. Do you two gentlemen have time?"
The translator glanced at Shen Moer and translated this sentence to Paul and David. Paul and David looked at each other and readily accepted Shen Moer's invitation. After both parties agreed on a time, Paul and David left side by side, talking and laughing.
Zeng Huiru looked at the backs of the two people, slowly exhaled, and said, "Deputy Director Shen, the money for this meal will be paid by the headquarters."
More than 10 million, the total contract amount of the ninth workshop really exceeded 10 million!
Paul not only signed embroidery worth 700,000 US dollars, he also ordered embroidery with new patterns and paid a deposit of 30,000 US dollars, so the total order amount of the ninth workshop so far is 10.3 million US dollars.
This is really beyond everyone's expectations.
Before coming to Guangzhou, Zeng Huiru was still worried whether the target amount set by the Provincial Department of Commerce would be too high and difficult to achieve. Who could have expected that in the end they not only achieved it, but also far exceeded the amount set by the Provincial Department of Commerce.
Not only that, Shen Moer also helped Jingcheng Ceramic Factory and Huancheng Silk Factory sign several orders. The heads of the two factories specially thanked their Nansheng Embroidery Factory in front of the leaders of the Provincial Department of Commerce.
Zeng Huiru's mood was extremely complicated. Originally, the task of this year's Canton Fair was arduous, and several people in the factory team were unwilling to take on this hot potato. She took on this task with gritted teeth, but she never thought that this task would be completed so beautifully in the end!
Zeng Huiru and Shen Moer were talking, and no one noticed that Liu Yinshuang, who walked out of the negotiation room behind her, looked confused. In her
previous life, after the reform and opening up, Liu Yinshuang had worked in many trades and had been to Guangzhou and Shenzhen. She had worked as a worker in a factory and a stall owner in a wholesale market. At that time, there was an old man in the wholesale market. It was said that he had worked in a department related to the Canton Fair when he was young. He knew the historical development of the Canton Fair and the annual transaction amount like the back of his hand.
Liu Yinshuang heard so much that she remembered some of it, such as the transaction amount this year.
But she just asked the salesperson in the negotiation room, and as of now, the transaction amount has exceeded the amount she knew in her previous life by nearly 10 million.
Liu Yinshuang thought blankly, maybe she remembered it wrongly. After all, it was something from her previous life, how could she remember it all? It's normal to remember it wrongly.
But the old man's voice from her previous life soon popped up in her mind again: "Xiao Liu, let me tell you, our country started to hold the Canton Fair in 1957. This was a wise decision. Even during the years of the movement, the Canton Fair never stopped. How much foreign exchange did it earn for the country? We relied on these foreign exchange to buy equipment and technology from others, and developed little by little. I remember, in 1958..., then in 1971..., in 1972..., in 1978..."
Well, she really couldn't have remembered it wrong.
Liu Yinshuang felt her scalp tingling. It was different. History had changed. This life was different from the previous one.
She stood there with a pale face until Shen Moer turned around and called her: "Why aren't you leaving yet?"
Liu Yinshuang looked at Shen Moer and thought, isn't it different now? Shen Moer died a long time ago, and Liuqiao Commune never had any embroidery factory, and it was even more impossible for her to follow the factory to Guangzhou to participate in the Canton Fair.
Exhaling lightly, Liu Yinshuang smiled and replied: "I'm here."
