Minister Niu hung up the phone and called the Foreign Trade Office, where there are professionals responsible for foreign trade contracts.
"Beautiful Arts and Crafts Factory? Which unit is this?"
"People from Zhucheng have already negotiated business with foreign businessmen and are just waiting to sign the contract. You send someone to help. Comrade Xiao Tang is talking about foreign trade for the first time and doesn't understand much." Minister Niu said.
"He's from Zhucheng, why isn't he from our city of Shanghai?"
The people at the Foreign Trade Office were a little disappointed. The foreign exchange income from this order was counted in Zhucheng and had nothing to do with Shanghai.
"Comrade you don't have a good ideological consciousness. Whether it's Zhucheng or Shanghai, we are all China. Earning foreign exchange is a great thing that benefits the country and the people. Aren't you willing? If not, I'll find someone else!"
Minister Niu was unhappy and gave the other party a lecture.
"I'm not reluctant, I'm just worried that I won't be able to complete this year's foreign exchange tasks. There's still a long way to go!"
The other party hurriedly explained, but Minister Niu was no longer reluctant and asked him to send someone to Jinjiang Hotel quickly. He also said: "Hurry up, if it delays Xiao Tang from signing the contract, I will go to your Director Xu to complain. By the way, you send a capable person."
"I'll send it right away, Minister Niu, you're too nervous. It's just a handicraft factory in a small county town. How big an order it can get? Tens of thousands of yuan is a huge amount."
The other party felt that Minister Niu was making too much fuss. It was just a small handicraft. It would be great to have an order of 30,000 to 40,000 yuan.
Even the Oriental Arts and Crafts Factory in Shanghai only had 250,000 yuan in foreign trade orders at its peak.
Could this beautiful handicraft factory be more powerful than Dongfang?
[The trade amounts and prices involved are all nonsense from the author, and I can’t find any data for comparison]
"No matter how big the order is, even if it's only 10,000 yuan, it's still a good thing. Your attitude is quite problematic!" Minister Niu's face darkened and he got angry.
The person on the phone was afraid that Minister Niu would lecture others again, so he quickly admitted his mistake and said that he would send the most capable Comrade Shangguanjing to help.
"Shangguan Jing is good, let her go."
Minister Niu knows Shangguanjing. They have worked together before. She is a very capable young lesbian and is very familiar with foreign trade.
He called Tang Niannian again, "A female comrade will be coming to your place soon. Her name is Shangguanjing. She is the most proficient comrade in the foreign trade office. She assisted in the foreign trade orders of the steam turbine factory in the past. With her here, I am sure Nothing will go wrong.”
"Thank you, Uncle Niu. Once the contract is signed, I'll treat you to a drink!"
Tang Niannian was very grateful. The Foreign Trade Office sent Shangguanjing for the sake of Minister Niu.
"Don't be in a hurry when you drink. Once you finish what you are doing, you will have plenty of time to drink in the future!"
Minister Niu hung up the phone with a smile. He couldn't stop the smile on his face, although he also believed that Tang Niannian's order was 30,000 to 40,000 yuan, which was a high-end, and could not even be reached.
But that didn't stop him from being proud of Tang Niannian. This little seventeen-year-old girl might go to heaven in a few years!
Shangguanjing received a notice from her boss, asking her to go to the Jinjiang Hotel to assist a lesbian named Tang Niannian in signing a foreign trade contract. Moreover, the other party's unit was not in Shanghai, but a handicraft factory in Zhucheng.
She actually felt that the leader was a little too nervous. For small orders like this, she usually didn't need to take action, but she didn't ask any more questions. An hour later, she arrived at Jinjiang Hotel and met Tang Niannian and Andrew.
"Hello, I'm Shangguanjing. I'm here to help you sign the contract!"
Shangguanjing stretched out his hand and expressed his identity concisely and generously.
"Hello, I'm Tang Niannian. Here's what happened."
Tang Niannian shook hands with her and briefly and clearly explained the order with Karl. When it was mentioned that the amount was three hundred thousand, a crack appeared on Shangguan Jing's calm face, but her good professionalism allowed her to restrain her shock. After Tang Niannian finished speaking, she asked: "Is it three hundred thousand US dollars? Or RMB?"
She thought it should be RMB. How could a handicraft factory have an order of US$300,000?
Judging from her many years of foreign trade experience, it is absolutely impossible.
"Dollars."
Tang Niannian spoke firmly.
Shangguanjing's expression cracked again, and she even took out her ears to make sure there was nothing wrong with her hearing.
"I would like to ask, how many workers are there in your beautiful handicraft factory?"
Shangguanjing actually wants to say, can your Meili factory complete the production of an order of 300,000 yuan?
If you cannot deliver the goods on time, you will have to pay liquidated damages, which is not a small number.
"There are more than 200 people in our village, more than half of whom are productive, and there are also many reserve workers in other villages. Don't worry, since I dare to sign, I can guarantee the delivery time."
Tang Niannian saw her concerns and immediately assured her.
Tangcun didn't have enough manpower, so it went to other villages to find people. Almost the older people in the village could weave things like wheat straw fans and bamboo weaving. Those who really didn't know how to do it would be able to get started with temporary training.
Don't worry about the materials. There are endless bamboos on the mountain, and wheat straw is not a problem. She has a lot of it in her space. She can just find an excuse to take it out when the time comes.
Shangguanjing felt relieved when he saw that she was full of confidence.
She picked up the contract drafted by Karl and looked at it. When she saw the price of each product, her expression cracked for the third time.
Shangguanjing, who has always been famous for being serious and steady, completely failed in managing her expression today and completely failed.
A small pearl tower costs 45 yuan, and the shiny hairpin costs just over one yuan in department stores. It costs 4.5 U.S. dollars when sold to Carl, which is dozens of yuan when converted into RMB.
And the bamboo weaving actually dared to sell for more than ten dollars, and the shell carving was also sold for several dollars. From her point of view, Tang Niannian was completely robbing money, and it was a bandit act by Chi Guoguo.
But Karl actually agreed and signed such an 'unequal' contract.
Shangguanjing glanced at Tang Niannian, could it be that this girl gave Karl the ecstasy?
Tang Niannian smiled at her and asked, "Is there any problem with the contract?"
"no problem."
Shangguanjing hesitated and then smiled.
In fact, there was something wrong with the contract, and she felt it was too unfair to Karl, but she would not say it out loud.
This is 300,000 US dollars in foreign exchange!
"Are you sure Mr. Carl is fine with this price?" Shangguanjing asked in a low voice.
She was afraid that Karl had been tricked and abducted by Tang Niannian. If Karl reacted afterwards and went to the Foreign Trade Bureau to cause trouble, the impact would be very bad.
"It's no problem with him. He even asked me to sign the contract first. Moreover, the price is actually very cheap. They are all made of natural and environmentally friendly materials and are purely handmade. If I hadn't gotten along well with Mr. Carl, I would definitely not have offered such a cheap price. .”
Tang Niannian really felt that the price was too cheap. She had been abroad in her previous life and knew how much foreigners were after Chinese handicrafts. With these handicrafts like hers, it would not be a problem for Karl to earn two or three times after getting them back.
