"What should we do now? Without a translator, are we really going to just stand there and wait for the export salesmen to come over? We have already let others choose, how many companies will be left in the end? There must be very few companies interested in signing with us.
"
Du Zhiming glanced at the 'competitors' who were entering the scene in front of him and said a little irritably.
Chen Guoping thought for a while and said, "Why don't Teacher Liu and Teacher Gu work as a team? Xiao Chen, please work harder."
"Director, otherwise it will be like last time. I will label and display all the items in English for the winery and the meat factory. The process and problems are basically the same. As long as we label them well, there will be fewer problems.
More than half, we can have more opportunities."
"Xiao Chen, this is a good idea. When the time comes, I will ask the salesperson to walk around with the sign."
Du Zhiming said and looked at Chen Lishu: "Xiao Chen, my uncle is begging you, if we really recruit someone, we will try our best to keep them, and you have to take the time to come over and help."
"Yes, Xiao Chen, this is a major matter in the factory. You can't just ignore it." Director Gao was also anxious and wanted to bow to Chen Lishu.
"The three of us are not in the same exhibition hall. How can you let a child run back and forth on this hot day?" Privately, Director Han was afraid that Chen Lishu would leave. They would have no one to take care of them. After all, most foreign businessmen came to take care of them.
The translators all speak English.
This was a major matter related to the efficiency of the factory, and Chen Lishu understood it very well. After thinking about it, she took out a pen and paper and wrote a few big words, and then handed the paper to the two factory directors.
"The general meaning of this is that if you are interested, please wait for fifteen minutes. The two exhibition halls are not far apart. I will try my best to make time to come over then."
The two factory leaders were immediately grateful after hearing her words. In today's situation, even if Xiao Chen didn't help, they wouldn't say anything, but if she did, they would definitely remember it in their hearts.
Soon everyone entered the venue, and Chen Lishu and Factory Manager Han went to the textile area together.
Looking at the dazzling array of textiles and handicrafts in the exhibition areas on both sides, Chen Lishu was a little overwhelmed.
Our country has always been a big exporter of textiles. The textile industry and handicraft industry are both very developed. Before the reform and opening up, textiles were generally of a single color, and the designs were hard to describe. They were all tractors, sickles, wheat ears, etc., with single and similar patterns and designs, and there were no cartoon images.
They are cute, and the flowers are red and green in color. Products exported to Europe can only be sold as cheap goods.
But things are different now. After the reform and opening up, the mind has been liberated, and the culture that has been passed down for thousands of years has been revived. There are many kinds of textiles, and the colors are very bright. Not to mention Chen Lishu, the merchants are even more amazed by it.
In addition to wool blankets, the woolen mill's products at this exhibition include carpets, towels, woolen fabrics and more than a dozen other products.
"Xiao Chen, this time it's all up to you." Director Han asked.
"Don't worry, I will definitely do my best."
Chen Lishu still wrote an eye-catching introduction sign, but not all foreign businessmen could see it. Then she wrote another one and asked a salesperson who came with her to walk around holding the sign.
"Thunder monkey."
Factory Director Han and Chen Lishu had just finished receiving a group of foreign businessmen. When they turned around, they suddenly saw a few people in straight suits walking in.
"Xiao Chen, this doesn't seem to be English? Dialect?" Director Han looked at several people and looked at Chen Lishu with some confusion.
"Thunder Monkey."
Chen Lishu first greeted a few people in broken Hong Kong dialect, exchanged a few words briefly, and then introduced to Factory Director Han: "They are merchants from the other side of Hong Kong. They think our blankets are of good style, so they came to inquire about the price."
Since the railway to Xiangjiang was reopened some time ago, transportation has become more convenient and more Hong Kong businessmen have come to China.
Factory Director Han was completely shocked: "Xiao Chen, can you still speak Hong Kong?"
Chen Lishu smiled: "It's almost the same as the local dialect. I've just learned it temporarily in the past few days, but I can barely understand it. In fact, I can't speak it well either."
In fact, in addition to those who have been exposed to it in the past few days, there is also the popularity of Hong Kong movies in previous lives, and I have been influenced by it, and Chen Lishu can talk about it to some extent.
Even if Chen Lishu said she only knew a little bit, this would be enough to amaze Factory Director Han.
He found a treasure! After several exchanges, he asked about the price, and several Hong Kong businessmen said they wanted to consider it again.
"How was it? What did they say?"
Factory Director Han was confused as he heard several people giggling, but judging from their expressions, he felt that it probably wouldn't work.
Chen Lishu whispered the words of several merchants to Director Han, and then asked: "Director Han, if our wool blankets are not of this thickness and are slightly thinner, how much can the price be reduced from the original basis?"
They are located in the north, and their blankets are much thicker than those in the south. Even though the price has been kept to the lowest, the cost is so high that they don't actually have any advantage.
Chen Lishu told him what she had discovered. Director Han called another technician in the factory. After the two discussed, Director Han gave him a conservative figure: "It can be about five yuan cheaper."
Chen Lishu nodded. Seeing that several Hong Kong businessmen were about to leave, Chen Lishu hurriedly stopped them, explained the pros and cons, and then handed the blanket over to let several people take a closer look at the fabric.
"If compared with others of the same price range, I believe our products are definitely of the highest quality. If compared with others of the same quality, I believe our prices are definitely the lowest."
Several Hong Kong businessmen looked at each other after hearing her words, and then nodded, saying that they would consider Chen Lishu's opinion, but still wanted to go to other places to see the situation.
"Why are you leaving now? No more looking at it? I can guarantee that no one will give you a lower price than our factory."
Seeing that the person had already walked away, Factory Manager Han sighed helplessly: "It doesn't matter if you leave, I won't sell them without knowing the goods."
"Xiao Chen, you are still smart. If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have imagined that there is such a relationship between this blanket. I only know that I have taken out the best, but I have learned a lesson. I will gain more experience next time.
"
Not long after, a clerk from the meat joint factory trotted over and said that there were two groups of foreign businessmen on the other side, speaking English, and asked her to come over quickly.
There happened to be no one at the moment, so after telling Factory Director Han, Chen Lishu quickly followed them.
After many considerations, the group of Hong Kong businessmen finally preferred the quotation given by the Han factory director.
"One, ten thousand?"
After hearing what Chen Lishu said, Factory Director Han was so shocked that he swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Xiao Chen, did you hear that right?"
Chen Lishu smiled and shook her head: "It is indeed ten thousand, but it must be processed strictly according to the style provided by the other party."
"No problem, just tell them, it's absolutely no problem." For fear that this big order would be lost, Director Han immediately patted his chest and assured that the processing would be completed in accordance with the incoming samples while maintaining quality and quantity.
"Xiao Chen, you are my lucky star. Without you, our factory would not have received such a large order. Do you have any ideas after graduation? I don't think I have to wait until graduation. I will hire you as a special consultant for our factory now. You see?
How about it? You can pay whatever you want, and I guarantee it won’t delay your studies. Just come to the factory three or five times a month."
