Just as Minister Niu was about to send someone to look for him, Tang Niannian took the initiative to come to the door.
"What's going on with your three hundred thousand order? Tell me quickly!" Minister Niu asked impatiently.
On the phone just now, although he was speechless, he was really worried about what to do if Xiao Tang made a mistake. This was a major matter related to international reputation, and something big was going to happen.
"That's it. Mr. Andrew's friend Mr. Carl was satisfied with the 120 samples I brought and asked to sign a contract. He was also very satisfied with the price."
Tang Niannian went to pour water at the cooked place. After talking for a long time, her saliva was dry.
"Your pearl tower sells for forty-five dollars? Carl, did you agree?" Minister Niu emphasized the word 'dollars' in a particularly emphatic tone.
No wonder Lao Wang is angry. He now suspects that Xiao Tang has deceived foreigners. How dare he sell a small pearl tower for 45 US dollars?
This Xiao Tang is absolutely brave!
"Yes, Karl also wanted to contract all the products of our beautiful factory, but I didn't agree because he couldn't afford it by himself."
Tang Niannian looked at him with disgust. He was still the production director, and he looked like he had never seen the world at all.
Minister Niu choked on his own saliva. He now suspected that either Karl had a brain problem or that Xiao Tang was telling lies.
"Are you honest, you didn't trick Mr. Karl?"
Minister Niu looked very serious and asked straight to the point.
"It's just a little bit of normal marketing, Uncle Niu, I know what you're worried about. Let's put it this way, if Carl buys the Pearl Tower from our beautiful factory overseas, the price will be at least twice as high. He can see it with his eyes closed. It’s absolutely impossible to lose money if you sell it.”
Tang Niannian simply made it clear that she would have many products to sell to foreigners in the future. Forty-five yuan would cost them nothing. She had to vaccinate these people first, so don't make a fuss.
Minister Niu was dubious. Forty-five dollars could actually make a lot of money?
Do foreigners burn their hands when they have too much money?
"If you don't believe me, call my master over and ask, then you will know that I am not lying."
Tang Niannian felt a little sad. The Chinese people have been poor and backward for too long, and their national self-confidence is too lacking. Even Minister Niu, a man who has seen the world, will not be confident when facing foreigners, let alone ordinary people.
Those who fall behind will be beaten, and national self-confidence is out of the question. The economic base determines the superstructure. This sentence applies to everything.
She is not a good person, but she still has patriotism. She hopes to use her meager strength to promote the country's economic development.
She can't guarantee anything else, but when doing business with foreigners in the future, she will definitely offer high prices. There is no highest price, only higher prices.
Minister Niu personally went to invite Mr. Zhang and told what happened.
"Forty-five yuan is really not expensive. Foreigners like these little gadgets. Nian girl, if you want a higher price in the future, it's only forty-five yuan. It's so cheap."
Mr. Zhang looked at the Pearl Tower carefully and was very dissatisfied with the price Tang Niannian offered. It was too low.
Minister Niu twitched the corner of his mouth, as expected, what kind of master he is and what kind of disciple he leads.
The two masters and apprentices are more courageous than the other.
"It's indeed too low. Then Karl agreed too readily and made a mistake."
Tang Niannian was also very upset. When Karl was about to sign the contract happily, she knew that the price was low, but she had no regrets about the price and she couldn't slap herself in the face.
"There is a long way to go, and there will be many opportunities in the future. It is your first time doing business with foreigners, and you dare to offer this price. It is very good." Mr. Zhang praised generously.
"I'll open it higher after I go to the Canton Fair, but unfortunately I don't have enough pearls."
Tang Niannian was a little regretful. There was not much pearl inventory in Shanxia Lake and could only be supplied to Carl. The Canton Fair could only work on bamboo weaving, shell carving, and card issuance.
The most regrettable thing is that the cultivation period of pearls is too long. It takes at least four to five years to form pearls, so pearl handicrafts can only be sold once.
Minister Niu suddenly thought about it and said hurriedly: "Dongfang Factory seems to have a batch of pearls in stock. You can cooperate."
Although he couldn't stand the behavior of Dongfang Factory, he was willing to do his best as they were both companies in Shanghai.
Tang Niannian frowned slightly and said bluntly: "Dongfang Factory has too many evil intentions. It's too tiring to cooperate with them."
"I'll discuss it with Lao Jie and leave the pearl matter to me."
Minister Niu took over the matter. He also called Andrew and asked Karl what he thought of the order.
"Carl is very happy. Thank you Mr. Niu for introducing the beautiful Miss Tang. After my affairs in Shanghai are settled, Carl and I will go to visit Miss Tang's factory!"
Andrew laughed heartily on the phone, thanked him sincerely, and said he would treat Minister Niu to dinner.
Minister Niu was finally relieved. He politely declined the dinner, hung up the phone, and called the Foreign Trade Office again.
"Fortunately, you are still engaged in foreign trade and have no knowledge at all. You just sit in the sky and exaggerate and act nonsense. You don't even understand the foreign market. It is reasonable to sell the Pearl Tower for 45 yuan, and Mr. Karl has no objection. You guys started making trouble first,
Don't you want to see your own family? Xiao Tang worked so hard to sign an order of 300,000 yuan and made such a big contribution. He didn't get a single word of praise. He was also questioned and questioned by you frogs in the well. How chilling is it to make Comrade Xiao Tang feel cold? "
Minister Niu took the initiative and severely criticized the Foreign Trade Office.
In fact, the Foreign Trade Office had already sent someone to understand the situation and learned that Karl was indeed satisfied with the order and was not dissatisfied. They also knew that they had wrongly blamed Tang Niannian, and they were feeling guilty.
"We didn't understand the situation and wrongly blamed Comrade Xiao Tang. I'll be the host another day. Lao Niu, you, Comrade Xiao Tang, and Lao Jie, have a meal together."
On the other end of the phone was Director Xu of the Foreign Trade Office, who was also the final decider of the list for the Canton Fair. He was very curious about Tang Niannian, who he had never met before, and wanted to meet him.
"Don't be in a hurry to eat. Lao Xu, aren't you worried about the foreign exchange task? I have an idea. Xiao Tang is a once-in-a-century talent. I don't need to mention his sales skills. You have already seen that Xiao Tang can speak multiple languages and can also design. , the handicrafts signed with Carl this time were all designed by Xiao Tang himself, and foreigners especially like them."
Mr. Niu's mouth was a little dry, so he picked up the teapot and took a big sip, and continued: "We in Shanghai are the main force in foreign exchange, and the pressure is huge. Old Xu, you are going bald with worry. How about we be bold during the Autumn Canton Fair and let Xiao Tang’s Beautiful Arts and Crafts Factory participates, maybe there will be a big surprise.”
"The Beautiful Factory belongs to Zhucheng. Even if we sign an order worth millions, it has nothing to do with Shanghai." Director Xu reminded.
"Old Xu, you can't be too narrow-minded. No matter it's Shanghai or Zhucheng, the meat is in your own pot. Xiao Tang will definitely get more orders at the Canton Fair. By then, the productivity of the Beauty Factory will not be able to keep up. We in Shanghai The Dongfang Factory in the city can cooperate with the Beautiful Factory!"
Minister Niu stated his purpose. There is not only one handicraft factory in Dongfang in Shanghai, but also several others. When the time comes, they can all cooperate, and the foreign exchange earned can be counted in Shanghai.
In fact, even if he didn't say it, Director Xu had thought of it, but he couldn't just agree and said he would hold a meeting to discuss it.
"Hurry up, Xiao Tang is a rare talent that can only be found in a century. If you don't hurry up, others will take it away."
Minister Niu is not an alarmist. If the capital knows about a talent like Tang Niannian, they will definitely offer generous terms to poach him. They must act quickly.
