The Japanese were very polite. Whenever they spoke, they would nod and bow, which made Fan Wubing feel a little uncomfortable.
The Mandarin of Hong Kong people is not very good. At best, they can only understand it. Sometimes one or two slangs that they don’t understand occasionally pop up. Fan Wubing’s Northern Mandarin is a bit puzzled to hear in his ears. Therefore, the negotiation between the two sides is quite difficult, and it tastes like a chicken and a duck.
"Well, that, Mr. Five Chicken, are you in the clothing business?" Fan Wubing raised his mind and said.
Hong Kong people were too lazy to translate this to the Japanese, so they answered Fan Wubing's question directly, "Mr. Wuzhi Xiaoji is not a clothing business, he is a plastic doll business. He is very interested in the various suit series designed by your company. He hopes to strengthen cooperation with your company in this area, and win-win results."
Plastic doll?! Fan Wubing smiled. Others don’t know what this plastic doll is. He also said it is a doll seller. He is a long-lasting old bird, so he naturally knows the details. The so-called plastic doll is a genuine adult product.
In fact, the earliest generation of inflatable dolls appeared in Japan in the early 1970s, called Holy Son, which was very popular in Japan for a while, which to a certain extent promoted the great development of the doll industry. In the following ten years, similar plastic dolls emerged one after another, but due to the material and cost issues, plastic dolls are far from reaching high flexibility and high simulation.
The production threshold of plastic dolls itself is relatively low, but the returns are quite high. A relatively good inflatable doll is priced at tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yen. Under this market stimulus, many Japanese manufacturers have been working hard to develop new products and then seize the market. Wuzhi small machine is also one of them, but he has a little more mind than others.
After seeing the suit series designed by Fan Wubing, Wu Zhixiaoji naturally thought of his own plastic dolls. "If the inflatable dolls can be replaced with such uniforms, wouldn't it be more selling points?"
Therefore, Wu Zhi's small mind became active and took the initiative to find Qiu Baohua's door. When he heard that the designer of this uniform series was actually a boss in mainland China, he asked Qiu Baohua to contact him on his behalf and then personally rushed to the mainland to discuss cooperation.
"Oh, so that's it." Fan Wubing nodded, thinking that this was a sesame seed that fell into the eye of the needle, a coincidence.
Fan Wubing quickly thought about it and found that it would be quite convenient to enter the Japanese market if he could cooperate directly with the Japanese. So he asked, "Well, Mr. Five Chicken's main product, is there a picture album that I can visit?"
"Hi--" Wu Zhi's little Ji nodded excitedly when he heard this, took out a beautifully-bound picture album from the briefcase he carried with him, and handed it to Fan Wubing with both hands.
"Oh? So Mr. Chicken knows Chinese—" Fan Wubing was stunned for a moment. Before what he said just now had been translated by the Hong Kong people, the Japanese responded immediately, which of course surprised him.
"I understand Chinese, a little bit." Wu Zhi nodded and replied.
Fan Wubing said huh, thinking that the Japanese had a strong learning ability. He sent the Tang envoy to study the Tang Dynasty, and then studied in Britain and started the Meiji Restoration. Later, after the failure of World War II, he began to learn from the United States. No wonder they got out of the shadow of the post-war depression so quickly. Thinking of the importance of education in China, Fan Wubing couldn't help but sigh secretly.
There are about a dozen inflatable dolls on the picture album brought by Wuzhi small machine, which are basically on the high-quality route and are also first-class products in Japan. According to him, he is opening up the Taiwan and Hong Kong markets recently, so he hopes to get the right to use the uniform series products designed by Fan Wubing. If possible, he hopes to buy out the patents of these products directly.
"Don't be busy with this matter, let's talk about the demand issues first." Fan Wubing was reminded by Wu Zhi Xiaoji, and realized that he had ignored the product patents, so he couldn't help but criticize himself severely.
Patents are a very important part of the company's road to success! As a reborn person, Fan Wubing naturally knew the importance of this thing, but he has never thought of this problem recently. If he hadn't been reminded by Wu Zhi Xiaoji today, he would have thrown this thing behind him.
Seeing that Wu Zhi's small machine is so honest, Fan Wubing decided to help him and sell his own uniform series.
"Brother Xiaoji, I have no intention to transfer the patent for the time being, but we can carry out more in-depth cooperation. I wonder if Brother Xiaoji is interested?" Fan Wubing asked with a smile.
"Please say, detailed, Mr. Fan." Wu Zhi's little Ji was a little disappointed when he saw Fan Wubing's unintentional transfer of the patent. However, when he heard that there was still a possibility of deep cooperation, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said very modestly.
"Mr. Fan, what he said-" Fan Wubing curled his lips. It was a bit inappropriate for the Japanese to learn Chinese, but he didn't care much about it, nor did he intend to correct his grammatical flaws for the Japanese to be a Chinese teacher. He thought about it for a while, and then said to Wu Zhi Xiaoji, "After reading your product album, I found that there was a big problem!"
"Please give me some advice." Wu Zhi Xiaoji is a very humble person. After he knew that Fan Wubing was the designer of the suit series, he really hoped to get some experience from him. When he saw Fan Wubing, he actually said that their products were very problematic, so he naturally had to learn more about it. Therefore, his attitude was extremely sincere and his head was about to fall under the table.
Fan Wubing was very satisfied with this. Although he was already a rebirth, vanity was always inevitable. He could make others, a foreigner, a Japanese man obeyed his orders, and still felt a little accomplished. He smiled slightly, signaled Wu Zhixiaoji to take a sip of tea, and then asked slowly, "There is no need to say much about clothing. I can agree, but I don't have much confidence in your plastic dolls. If the market for plastic dolls is not good, it affects my clothing business, it would be a bit unreasonable. Therefore, I hope you can listen to some of my suggestions and improve the overall structure of plastic dolls to meet the material and spiritual life needs of the general public. I wonder if you have this intention?"
