Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

In the evening, it was not completely dark yet.

In front of the White Swan Hotel, there is an endless stream of taxis coming and going, some are sending foreign businessmen back, and some are picking up foreign businessmen.

Ma Dexing walked out of the hotel, walked quickly to the side of the road, and came directly to a van. Li Weidong, who was inside, immediately opened the door and let Ma Dexing in.

"It's all clear, Hayward just asked for a pot of coffee, he should still be in the room now." Ma Dexing said.

"Okay, then let's go according to plan! Jiang translation, thank you for your hard work!" Li Weidong said to another young man in the van.

Ma Dexing also said; "Xiao Jiang, I have already told the front desk manager that you can go in and take the elevator directly, and go upstairs to find Hayward! Don't mess up the show."

"Director Ma, Director Li, don't worry, when I was in college, I played a sketch at the New Year's Day Gala, and I was the protagonist, absolutely no problem!" Jiang translation said.

"Okay, go and come back quickly." Ma Dexing instructed.

Jiang translation took a sample of the air fryer, got out of the van, and went straight to the White Swan Hotel.

At this time, the buyer, Hayward, was staying in the hotel room, drinking coffee and looking at the sea view from the window.

Hayward also came to the mainland for the first time. He had just entered the hotel during the day, and he was still adjusting to the jet lag and the climate, so he did not go out.

At this moment, the doorbell rang, Hayward walked to the door, and saw a Chinese man in a suit through the cat's eyes, holding a boxy iron box in his hand, facing the room with a smile. Door.

"Who is this person? I don't know!" Hayward opened the door and asked with a look of vigilance: "Who are you? What are you going to do?"

When the young man saw Hayward, he immediately said in English, "Mr. Gordon, thank you very much for Walmart's ordering of 20,000 air fryers from our company. This is the sample you asked for, and I've sent it to you!"

"Gordon? Walmart? Looks like this guy sent me to the wrong room. He took me for Gordon from Walmart!"

Hayward breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to explain that he was not Gordon when he realized that Gordon had ordered 20,000 of these products called air fryers.

Hayward looked at the iron box in the young man's hand: "What product is this, it looks like a household appliance, and Walmart bought 20,000 units! No, I have to figure this out!"

Thinking of this, Hayward did not dare to open the door,

He was afraid that the other party would recognize that it was not Gordon, and then he said to the crack of the door; "Just leave the sample at the door."

"Okay, Mr. Gordon, there is also a brochure and instruction booklet here, and I put it at the door with me!"

The young man put down the air fryer, bowed slightly towards Hayward, and then said, "Mr. Gordon, I wish you a good day, I will say goodbye first!"

After the young man walked away, Hayward immediately opened the door and brought the air fryer, brochure and manual into the room together.

Hayward first opened the brochure and read it carefully.

"The air fryer, which uses air to replace the hot oil in the original frying pan, makes the food cooked... It sounds so high-tech! It can fry French fries, fried chicken, fried steak, fried fish, and it is quite functional.

Simple operation, easy to use, small footprint, and easy to move, it is very suitable for small kitchens. Easy to clean, just put the pot inside in the dishwasher, or just rinse it with water, sounds like a good idea.

Low oil and low fat, healthy diet, compared with traditional frying, it reduces 80% of the fat, which can effectively reduce obesity and avoid the occurrence of diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure. "

Seeing this, Hayward was sensitively aware that this air fryer might contain huge business opportunities!

Which country in the world has the most fat people is undoubtedly the United States.

The main reason why Americans are obese is their eating habits. Burgers, fried chicken, french fries, doughnuts, hot dogs, all kinds of pies, none of them are low-fat and low-calorie.

In the late 1980s, Americans have begun to pay attention to the problem of obesity. Although the United States does not have a health-preserving culture like China, products involving physical health will always attract extra attention.

Hayward picked up the manual again, read it carefully, and then called the front desk and reported his room number.

A magnetic voice immediately rang from the telephone receiver: "Sir, is there anything I can do for you?"

"I want the restaurant to send me some potato chips," Hayward replied.

"Okay sir, do you want to fry, boil, bake, or other cooking methods?" the front desk said.

"I'm going to give birth!" said Hayward.

The front desk was stunned for a moment, and then confirmed: "Sir, is that the way you want raw potato chips?"

"Eat raw potato chips? What's the way to eat this? I know that cucumbers can be eaten raw, tomatoes can be eaten raw, cabbage hearts can be eaten raw, and this is the first time I heard that potatoes can also be eaten raw!"

The front desk complained in his heart, but he politely agreed: "Sir, I will immediately notify the kitchen to deliver raw potato chips to your room."

"I still need wings and drumsticks," Hayward continued.

"Sir, how do you want to cook? Sauce chicken drumsticks are a major feature of our hotel. I suggest you try it," the front desk said.

"I'm going to give birth," Hayward replied.

"It's raw again!" The front desk was a little confused. This raw potato may still be edible, but this raw chicken leg should not be able to eat.

"Give me another steak!" Hayward continued.

"How cooked do you want?" The front desk is still very professional.

"Still alive!" said Hayward.

The front desk was startled again.

"Generally, foreigners eat steaks that are either medium rare or medium rare. Very few people eat medium rare. This foreigner is amazing, so he can eat it at zero! Kailai, this foreigner likes to eat it raw!"

It didn't take long for raw potato chips, raw chicken thighs and "zero-rare" steaks to be delivered to Hayward's room.

Then Hayward followed the instructions and got busy.

After a while, Hayward successfully made french fries. Although the fries were a little dry due to the lack of oil, they were still cooked.

"This thing is really useful, no wonder Wal-Mart has ordered 20,000 units. In this case, we can't fall behind, and we must not let Wal-Mart dominate this air fryer!" Hayward thought to himself.

...

Jiang translation returned to the van.

"How are things going?" Ma Dexing asked hurriedly.

"It's all done! Jiang interpreter nodded, and then said: "I called Hayward Gordon, and he not only did not deny it, but also asked me to put the air fryer at the door. "

"Translator Jiang has worked hard." Li Weidong stuffed a pack of Chinese cigarettes into Translator Jiang's hand.

Jiang Translator is a public official after all. If you give him money, he will definitely not accept it, not to mention that Ma Dexing is still in the car.

If you give a pack of cigarettes, it doesn't matter. Back then, when you got married, you could get a cigarette to smoke. Translator Jiang helped you out and smoked you a few cigarettes. It couldn't be regarded as a violation of discipline.

Jiang Translator happily put the Chinese cigarettes into his pockets. He was usually reluctant to buy such good cigarettes.

Ma Dexing, who was next to him, also acquiesced to this behavior. He directly ignored Jiang's translation and said to Li Weidong: "Director Li, your expectations are accurate, that Heywood did not explain that he was not Gordon, but air-fryed him. The pot is left."

Li Weidong explained: "Gordon is Wal-Mart, Hayward is, these two companies are the top retailers in the United States, and they are also competitors. It is normal for these competitors to inquire about each other's intelligence. thing.

Especially in the retail industry, they face consumers directly and sell a lot of seasonal products, so intelligence collection is particularly important.

What kind of commodities are in high demand in a certain season and what kind of commodities are in low demand; or what commodities are sold well by competitors, and which commodities are not selling well, these must be collected.

So I asked Translator Jiang to carry the air fryer over, pretending to recognize the wrong person, identifying Haywood as Gordon, and deliberately saying that Gordon purchased 20,000 air fryers. In order to collect information on Walmart, Hayward must make mistakes and let Jiang translation leave the air fryer.

Now, the air fryer samples, advertising brochures and manuals have all been obtained by Hayward. He will definitely read the brochure carefully, and even try the air fryer himself. It is equivalent to directly selling the air fryer to Hayward. "

Ma Dexing nodded and asked, "What are you going to do next?"

"Just wait!" Li Weidong continued: "Wal-Mart and is a competitor, since Hayward mistakenly thought that Wal-Mart bought 20,000 air fryers, I don't think it will succumb to Wal-Mart. Ward will come and place an order!"

"But if Hayward and Gordon talk to each other and know that Gordon didn't buy an air fryer, then they'll be ganged up. They're all Americans, and they can't be together after breakfast." Ma Dexing wrinkled said with a frown.

"I said just now that Wal-Mart is a competitor, would you believe what the competitor said?" Li Weidong smiled and continued:

"Even if Gordon told Hayward that Walmart didn't buy the air fryer, Hayward wouldn't believe it, and he would even think it was a fake news that Walmart deliberately put out in order to monopolize the air fryer market."

"Director Li, your businessmen are thoughtful." Ma Dexing gave a thumbs up, and then continued: "Although this air fryer has not won an order from Walmart, some orders can be regarded as a big profit. ."

"I didn't say that I would give up the order from Walmart!" Li Weidong smiled slightly, and then said, "Walmart's side, I still have no use for it!"
