Chapter 438 The First Order
However, judging from the results, the signing of the contract, which was delayed because of Ou Boyang's short-sightedness, because the client went to visit the factory first, ended well.
We walked around the factory for an hour and a half—as Feng Yiping expected, during which Mr. Lei Meng really used the bathroom in the factory for an excuse.
He didn't pay much attention to the equipment on the production line, but he was very concerned about the production process. He also asked a lot of questions about quality control, especially the inspection of raw materials entering the warehouse and the inspection of finished products leaving the factory. Workers at the workstations have simple communication.
Afterwards, Mr. Raymond, Ou Baiyang's regular customer, who looks like a strong man but is actually cautious and careful, expressed his satisfaction.
After learning that the beautiful lady is the president of the group and has a Harvard background, he is even more excited because the two of them are alumni.
When Ou Boyang introduced Feng Yiping, who had been by his side all the time, not talking much, more like an intern, as the chairman and founder of the group, Mr. Lei Meng asked three times, "Really?"
"It's true, Mr. Raymond, I hope this matter will not change your view of our company." Feng Yiping smiled and stretched out his hand, and we got to know him again.
"How come?" Lei Meng said, "This is really a magical country, and this is really a great era. In our country, there are not many college students who start businesses, but there are really not many people who run factories like Feng you and are engaged in manufacturing. "
"It's understandable that the companies my peers in your country founded are all in the high-tech or trade field. This is related to the international trend. At present, the global manufacturing industry is undergoing a major shift. The business community in your country has long looked down on investment. For the manufacturing industry with large returns and low returns, except for some key fields such as the three major automobile manufacturers and the military industry, other manufacturing industries may move to countries with low production costs such as my country in the future.
So Mr. Raymond, our company earns hard money. The current quotation is the lowest price. If you cut it further, I won’t be able to make up enough for the tuition fee for your alma mater. "Feng Yiping continued to follow his words, and finally turned to business.
"How come? I believe that with Feng's grades, it will be easy to get a scholarship from our school." The ghost is indeed a ghost, and he will not accept Feng Yiping's criticism.
"Mr. Raymond, Miss Deborah, let's go to dinner first, and then send the two of you back to the hotel." Jin Ling said.
Faced with the problem of stalemate, our ancestors have already had an effective method, let the problem go, and go to eat first.
On the car back to Yangcheng after dinner, the lights were brightly lit, and Ou Boyang and Lei Meng were still hurrying to talk. It seemed that those articles saying that foreigners don’t talk about work after eight hours were also deceiving bumpkins like Feng Yiping. Employees may be able to do it. For executives like Raymond, it is not easy to completely separate rest and work.
In the end, Raymond agreed to Oberon's quotation, and there was an additional condition of exclusivity. Jiasheng was not allowed to find a second agent in the states where Raymond had hypermarkets. On this basis, he decided that, on average, Purchasing goods worth more than US$300,000 from Jiaqiang every quarter.
Because the first batch will be distributed to various stores, this time he wants more goods, which is almost double the 300,000 US dollars decided in the afternoon, and it is more than 500,000 US dollars.
As for this exclusive clause, Feng Yiping didn't care, except that the first agreement was for two years, and the subsequent agreements were signed once a year, and it could be adjusted when it was not suitable.
In the short term, Jiaqiang will not seek to build its own sales channels in the United States. It is better for local snakes like Raymond to help them build brand awareness.
And he also has confidence in his company's products. In terms of design, IKEA's classic styles after more than ten years have advantages even in competition with the current IKEA.
Another advantage, of course, is the price advantage.
Of course, this price advantage is a price advantage compared with IKEA, and compared with other domestic furniture factories, the unit price is slightly higher, which is why Raymond has been bargaining.
However, for Feng Yiping, who is determined to make money from foreigners, he does not compromise on this point. You cannot have furniture that is better designed than similar products from IKEA, and the price is the same as that of the same domestic furniture.
As Feng Yiping, who was fed up with price wars, this time he did not want to follow those colleagues who were not born in the same year, the same month, and the same day. He bargained with himself, and finally died in the same year, the same month, and the same day. In the end, it was all cheaper for consumers, and they were still foreign consumers.
However, generally speaking, the combination of these two advantages is still very advantageous, which is why the shrewd Raymond signed the agreement with Jiasheng on the first day.
The things are good, the price is good, and it is foreseeable that the sales price will be even better. As long as the sales are strong, it is impossible to make a bad profit.
As long as Lei Meng's company has tasted the sweetness, it will carefully maintain the cooperation with Jiaqiang. In this way, it is actually a win-win situation.
After sending the two gods back to the hotel, it was past ten o'clock in the evening, and Ou Boyang immediately called the factory to announce the good news. He was sure that Lao Cai and Xiong Yuliang must still be waiting.
Sure enough, the two of them didn't sleep, and they were overjoyed when they heard the news, "We will arrange to increase the horsepower for production tomorrow."
Ou Boyang himself was also very excited. This was considered his first victory. He signed a long-term cooperation client at the first stop, "Mr. Feng, Mr. Jin, let's go to have a late-night snack. I'll treat you."
Hehe, according to Jiasheng Furniture's commission system, Ou Boyang can get a lot of commission for this sum.
Feng Yiping glanced at Jin Ling, "That's fine."
To be honest, he also misses the supper in Yangcheng, and eating supper requires a lot of people to be delicious.
Feng Yiping sat in the co-pilot and directed the driver to drive Coaster from Yuexiu to Tianhe Shipai East.
The words about eating in Yangcheng are not true. The road a few hundred meters east of Shipai is very lively, and there are many foreigners among them.
Jin Ling asked Feng Yiping in surprise, "How do you know this so well?"
"I'm a foodie, don't you know? I checked the strategy before I came here." Feng Yiping didn't speak very fluently now, smelling the familiar smell, his mouth was drooling.
Jin Ling gave him a suspicious look, and followed him into a restaurant.
It seems that they are not familiar with each other. Feng Yiping ordered fried snails, grilled oysters, shrimp porridge, mantis shrimp, grilled fish... until everyone shouted to stop.
Supper, of course, goes better with beer. Feng Yiping is good at pouring beer. After pouring a full glass for the three of them, he also poured a glass for Jin Ling from a disposable cup, "Don't worry about the environment here. Don't worry, it tastes really good."
Eating supper at a food stall outside is really different from making instant noodles at home and adding a ham sausage.
Here, while eating, you can smell the cooking gas from the kitchen, which is very tempting for your gluttons, and then look at the people around you. After finishing a day of heavy work, you can relax and enjoy eating yourself. The favorite food, the atmosphere, came up all at once.
Having supper with his own people, Feng Yiping drank very refreshingly. He toasted each of the three people in the foreign trade department, "Mr. Ou, Xiao Zhao, and Xiao Yu, the company's future foreign trade will be directed at you. The task is very heavy, and our requirement is that the ratio between export sales and domestic sales should be 7:3, and 70% of the sales tasks in the future will depend on the three of you, so I would like to offer you a toast here."
"I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult at the beginning," although Ou Boyang had a good start, he has not been carried away.
"I know that, that is the ultimate goal," Feng Yiping skillfully peeled the mantis shrimp, "and, starting from the next Canton Fair, Mr. Jin and I may not come to the site again, even if we come, we will not stay How long, you have to be mentally prepared."
"I will try my best to spare time," Jin Ling added.
The three on the opposite side glanced at each other. Today, Feng Yiping and Jin Ling helped a lot, especially with them here. The three of them seemed to have a backbone. When they heard that they would not come in the future, they immediately felt that they were shoulders. The burden on him was a little heavier.
"Bosses, don't worry, we promise to complete the task." Ou Boyang believes that after this session's influence, he will be able to shoulder this burden in the next session.
"That's good. Let's put today's results aside for now. In the next few days, we will all work together to make persistent efforts and try to sign a few more forms."

That night, the leaders of the Provincial Department of Commerce, who led a team to participate in the exhibition, received calls from the Provincial General Office and their own halls. Tomorrow afternoon, senior officials in charge of economics and foreign trade will lead a team to visit the fair.
