Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

It's evening again.

As usual, Ma Dexing went to the White Swan Hotel to check in, and then returned to the van.

"I have inquired, Gordon has just had dinner and has returned to his room." Ma Dexing said.

"Okay, we'll act now." Li Weidong looked at Jiang translation again and said, "Jiang translation, I have to trouble you."

"No problem, it's not the first time I've done it anyway!" Jiang interpreter picked up the copy of the contract, got out of the car and went straight to the White Swan Hotel.

After a while, the doorbell in Gordon's room rang.

Gordon walked to the door and saw a strange young man standing outside through the cat's eyes. He didn't open the door, but asked directly, "Who are you?"

"Are you Mr. Hayward? I'm here to deliver a copy of the contract." Jiang interpreter, facing the cat's eyes, shook the copy of the contract in his hand, and then said, "Mr. Hayward, if it is inconvenient for you to open the door. , I will pass the copy of the contract to you through the crack of the door!"

"I..." Gordon wanted to say "I'm not Hayward", but stopped when he got to his mouth.

"Since the other party made a mistake and took me as Hayward, why don't I make it wrong!" Thinking of this, Gordon didn't speak any more.

The next second, a copy of the contract was shoved in through the crack of the door.

"Mr. Hayward, I'll take my leave first." Jiang interpreter ran away after stuffing the copy of the contract.

Walmart is a competitor, and it would be a lie to say that Gordon is not interested in trade secrets.

Now that someone has sent the contract to Gordon, how can Gordon miss it!

Gordon looked at the copy of the contract on the ground, and thought to himself: "You stuffed this yourself, it has nothing to do with me! A normal person would pick up some unidentified documents on the ground to see what it was. Bar?

So I'm looking at the document now, just to confirm what's written on it, and it's not a peek at the trade secret. "

Thinking of this, Gordon picked up the copy of the contract and looked at it carefully.

"The purchase contract for the air fryer? The air fryer is the kind of product I saw the day before yesterday, but I didn't place an order, right? I didn't expect to place an order!" Gordon gasped and continued to read.

"The price of 285 US dollars, ordered 20,000 units, that is 5.7 million US dollars, which is really enough for the cost. However, it was originally a model of warehousing and wholesale for members.

Their stock has always been huge! "

At this time, Gordon suddenly felt a mess in his heart.

Now that it has been shot, should Walmart follow up?

There is no doubt that since the bet has been placed, Walmart will of course follow up unconditionally!

In the retail industry, in addition to cheap prices, a complete range of products is also very important, especially when it comes to Wal-Mart and this level of giant retailers, the products are already all-encompassing.

In addition to ordinary daily necessities, luxury goods such as home appliances, clothing, high-end consumer electronics, jewelry, and even guns can be found in the supermarkets of giant American retailers.

So Wal-Mart will never allow products that it does not have. In the same way, Wal-Mart has products, but also has.

If Gordon didn't see the copy of the purchase contract, he could wait half a year to buy the air fryer, but now that Gordon has seen the contract, he must not sit idly by.

"That air fryer is indeed a very good product, there should be a market, the key is the price! That Li Weidong is too blackhearted, he always sells products at more than three times the price.

The purchase price of one set is 285 US dollars. I estimate that after half a year, the price will drop to below 90 US dollars. If you buy it now, it is really a big loss!

But we have already purchased 20,000 units, and we, Walmart, can only follow up. Otherwise, the product of air fryer will take the lead.

With the number of stores in the United States, half a year is enough to make air fryers popular in the United States. Half a year is too long, we at Walmart can't wait! "

Gordon sighed helplessly, knowing that now he can only go to Li Weidong to talk about purchasing.

Gordon felt a pain in his head when he thought of Li Weidong.

"This Li Weidong is even more black-hearted than a Wall Street financier. Purchasing things from him has made it clear that he will lose a lot of money! Damn it, how could such a novel household appliance like an air fryer appear in Li Weidong's hands? If If someone else sells it, I can save at least half of the money!"

After Gordon scolded Li Weidong as a black-hearted businessman, he picked up a pen and paper from the table and began to calculate the price.

"I remember that the final quotation he gave me before was 290 US dollars per unit, and the purchase price was 285 US dollars, which should be because 20,000 units were purchased. If I purchased 10,000 units, I don't know if I can get it. this price!"

Gordon doesn't want to buy too many air fryers at one time, because he knows the situation of the Canton Fair very well and knows that a new product comes out. will definitely drop significantly.

So the more you buy now, the more you will lose in half a year. Gordon felt that it would be enough to buy 10,000 units first and deal with it.

"Let's talk to that black-hearted businessman tomorrow, and if it's a big deal, just express your intention to make follow-up purchases, and get a quote of $285 first!" Gordon thought to himself.

...

The next day, Gordon really appeared at the Canton Fair.

As soon as he entered the gate, Gordon saw the air fryer booth.

"Why did you run to the door! But it saves me walking more!"

Gordon stepped forward and greeted Li Weidong: "Dear Li, why did you change your booth? I'm planning to go to the home appliance exhibition area to find you!"

"The main reason is that my products have received more orders, so the organizer arranged me in a conspicuous position." Li Weidong did not hide it.

Then Li Weidong asked, "Is Mr. Gordon interested in my air fryer again this time?"

"I've always been interested in your products, but it's too expensive," Gordon replied.

"Mr. Gordon, this is a very new household appliance. I can't sell it for only $100." Li Weidong replied.

"I mean the price of $290 is too expensive. If you can lower it a little bit, I'm willing to buy a batch." Gordon replied.

Li Weidong immediately asked, "Mr. Gordon, how much do you plan to purchase?"

"I want to buy 10,000 units first and put them on the market to test the water. If the sales are good, I will buy more." Gordon said.

"If that's the case, then I'll make it a dollar cheaper! It's $289 a piece." Li Weidong said.

Gordon shook his head: "Mr. Li, we have known each other for so long, you should give me a sincere preferential price, such as $280!"

"Well, $288, which is already my lowest price." Li Weidong dropped another dollar.

"$281, if we can, we'll sign the contract now," Gordon said.

Li Weidong pretended to think, and then shook his head: "Mr. Gordon, I can only make a dollar cheaper! That's $287 a piece."

Gordon looked at the contract, so what he wanted was a $285 offer.

And that contract was originally given to Gordon by Li Weidong, so Li Weidong did not expect to exceed the price of $285.

Both had set $285 as the final negotiated price, but it still took several minutes to settle on the $285 price.

...

10,000 air fryers, valued at $2.85 million. After the contract was signed, Li Weidong sent Gordon away, finally heaving a sigh of relief.

The veteran waiter Ma Dexing made his debut again. After he handed a cup of tea to Li Weidong, he reluctantly let go of the contract he just signed.

"Director Li, with the 2.85 million US dollars, the export value of your air fryer has exceeded 10 million US dollars!" Ma Dexing looked elated.

"This Canton Fair is about the same. Several merchants from major European and American countries have already placed orders, and poor countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America cannot afford this. I estimate that in the next few days, the sales of air fryers will increase. It won't grow much."

Li Weidong paused, then said: "And our factory's production capacity is not that large. We have to work overtime to complete the order for tens of thousands of units."

"If there is any difficulty in production, you can come to me directly, and the hall will try to help you solve it." Ma Dexing said.

Li Weidong thought about it and said, "In terms of production, the main problem is the raw materials. The parts in the air fryer are all purchased from other manufacturers, such as heating rods and the like are quite scarce, and I don't know if they can Unavailable!"

"You can make a list of the parts you need, and I will help you purchase them across the country. If it is an enterprise in the province, it will be given priority to your factory!" Ma Dexing replied immediately.

"Then I'll thank Director Ma first!" Li Weidong stretched, then stood up, and said, "Enough of the rest, I'll go to the fries!"

Another pot of french fries was freshly baked. Li Weidong distributed the french fries to the onlookers and explained the benefits of the air fryer.

Hanaya Saburo stood in the crowd, staring at the air fryer on the booth, his eyes were shining, and his heart was full of joy.

"Fortunately, I came to visit the Canton Fair, otherwise, I would definitely miss this air fryer! I never thought that the Chinese could invent novel household appliances!

This air fryer is very simple to operate, takes up little space, and is very fuel-efficient. It is very suitable for use in Japan. When it is put on the Japanese market, it will definitely be welcomed by housewives.

Moreover, fried foods are also in line with the eating habits of Europeans and Americans. Whether in Europe or the United States, air fryers have great potential to be tapped. Once the air fryer is popularized, it will definitely not be a problem to sell one million units a year worldwide

Such an excellent household appliance is a waste of money in the hands of the Chinese. I should take this thing back and hand it over to the technical department for imitation. The best household appliances in the world can only be produced by us, Matsugami Electric Co., Ltd.! "
