72: The cost is too high, no way!
The US dollar in Lei Dongbao's hand was a little dazzling, and the eyes of Deputy Mayor Zhang, who was leading the team, stayed on it for several seconds.
Finally seeing the playful smile in Lei Dongbao's eyes, Lao Zhang woke up and quickly scolded.
"Lei Dongbao, you are a party member, do you still have party spirit? This time our Jinzhou delegation came with a mission. Are you still making trouble now?"
Lei Dongbao laughed loudly, stood up with a smile, and said quickly.
"Lao Zhang, don't be angry, this is just an appetizer, tomorrow is the highlight!"
Lao Zhang did not have the leisure time as Lei Dongbao. He walked closer and found a bed to sit down. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket in a irritable state. Just as he was about to light it, Lei Dongbao said quickly.
"Stop smoking, this place doesn't even have windows, and the smell of smoke will not be dissipated for a long time!"
The difference between the guest and the guest of foreign guests is too big. Lei Dongbao's room is very small, with two upper and lower bunks, and four people have to sleep. There are two beds in the room, and the remaining space is enough to put some daily necessities just now.
There were also Yang Xun and others who slept in the same room with Lei Dongbao.
Yang Xun and others had already taken a shower and were lying on the bed chatting. When the few people saw the leader coming, they quickly wanted to stand up. Lei Dongbao waved his hand and asked them to continue lying down.
Old Zhang put away his cigarette and said with a low expression.
"The first day of today is not a good start. Our dozens of companies have only one embroidery factory. They sold 200 pairs of embroidery, but there is no transaction volume of 10,000 US dollars. No other companies have opened. Lao Lei, you have to work harder. In the Spring Canton Fair, our Jinzhou got 1.97 million US dollars. The task given to me this time cannot be less than 2 million US dollars in orders!"
After hearing Lao Zhang's words, Lei Dongbao stood up and felt a little hungry. He quickly looked at the corner, and there were more than a dozen chicken legs in the two buckets. Thinking of it, he brought an air fryer from the side and put it on a stool. He said while busying himself.
"Don't worry, Lao Zhang, it's only the first day, it's still early, and those foreigners are stinging. Most of them are observing these days. Don't worry, you have to put enough bait when you fish!"
Lao Zhang stood up in a hurry by Lei Dongbao's light tone, trying to scold him, but then he saw that Lei Dongbao was too rogue. Finally, he saw Lei Dongbao pick up his chicken legs and put them in the air fryer, and asked curiously.
"This afternoon, you were using this to set up a stall?"
Lei Dongbao nodded with a smile and said with a smile.
"The business is pretty good today. I sold it for more than 300 US dollars in more than an hour. You didn't see it. Those foreigners were having fun!"
Lao Zhang looked at the air fryer in Lei Dongbao's hand in surprise, and walked forward with a curious expression to carefully examine Lei Dongbao's operation methods. Lao Zhang changed his mind and couldn't help but think about it.
"Will foreigners buy this thing?"
Lei Dongbao pressed the start button, looked up at Lao Zhang, and said with a finger.
"Old Zhang, you can watch the show with peace of mind. I can finally get this transaction volume for this Canton Fair!"
Lao Zhang asked in confusion.
"Ten thousand dollars?"
Lei Dongbao shook his head speechlessly. Is the current leaders so lacking in imagination?
"One hundred thousand dollars?"
Lei Dongbao shook his head again. When Lao Zhang saw Lei Dongbao's confident look, he finally became serious and asked with anticipation.
"Can you sell one million?"
Lei Dongbao had no choice but to withdraw his fingers and was about to speak when suddenly someone knocked on the door. Lei Dongbao looked at the door and shouted in English.
"Please come in!"
The person coming from the door was an old white man. Lei Dongbao knew him at first sight. It was this old white man's exaggerated acting that conquered the others, so the business was actually opened this afternoon.
Seeing the other party carrying a handbag, he entered the room with a smile, and quickly greeted Lei Dongbao.
"Good evening, Lei!"
Lei Dongbao replied, looked at his watch, it was only seven o'clock. After eight o'clock, the old man was too anxious. However, as the first person to bite the hook, Lei Dongbao naturally enthusiastically asked the other party to sit down and talk. The location was naturally where Lao Zhang just sat.
Old Zhang saw Lei Dongbao and the white old man looking familiar, and Lei Dongbao's English also surprised him, and he couldn't help but look at the two of them more.
Lei Dongbao first introduced Lao Zhang to the white old man. When Lao Zhang heard about the merchants in the United States, his eyes lit up and he quickly said welcome, welcome, warm welcome. But after talking for a long time, the white old man just smiled and greeted him, and looked at Lei Dongbao.
Lei Dongbao remembered the name on the old man's business card, smiled and pointed to the still-running air fryer.
"Mr. Boole, if I guess correctly, you're here for it!"
When Old Man Bull saw the air fryer, his eyes lit up and he quickly stood up and said.
"Yes, Lei, the afternoon fried chicken legs still make me feel a little aftertaste. I have long wanted to know about this magical machine, so I can't wait to come, I hope you forgive me!"
Lei Dongbao laughed and said with a hurried smile.
"Good, good to say, Mr. Boole, I'm working on my supper now, why don't you wait for something to eat together?"
The old white man swallowed and nodded quickly!
Lei Dongbao smiled and greeted the old man for a while, looked at it, and then shouted to Yang Xun on the upper bunk.
"Yang Xun, go takeout and buy a box of beer to see if there is any ice beer, ice beer with fried chicken legs, which is enough to taste!"
October in Yangcheng is still hot, and Yang Xun is bare-chested. When he heard Lei Dongbao's words, he smiled and nodded, got up, and ran out of the door.
Old Zhang next to him could not help it anymore. He couldn't understand English, but he could guess the general meaning. When facing the American merchants who had finally come to him, Lei Dongbao had to drink and have fun. Drinking was a mistake. This simply destroyed the image of Jinzhou!
Lao Zhang quickly wanted to scold him, but the secretary beside him quickly pulled Lao Zhang and whispered a few words in his ear.
Lao Zhang looked at Old Man Boole with some confusion and uncertainty.
Lei Dongbao talked about a lot of interesting things with the old white man. The two had a great time talking, almost never talked about the air frying. The people around him were confused and listened. Only the secretary would occasionally talk about the conversation between the two in Lao Zhang's ears. When Lao Zhang saw that the two had not yet reached the topic, he looked a little anxious.
When Lei Dongbao saw the indicator light of the air fryer turn green, he stood up and said to Old Man Boole.
"Boer, as you see now, our air fryer is the home version. We are chatting next to you. In just over a dozen minutes, it can bake the chicken legs thoroughly. This red light is the working state, and the green light means the food is cooked thoroughly and can be released now!"
Lei Dongbao said, turning on the air fryer, a special fragrance gradually spread in the room, and the sound of saliva in the room was overwhelming, and Lei Dongbao smiled in his heart. This effect was better than today when he was outside.
When Lei Dongbao wrapped a chicken leg with kraft paper to Old Man Boole, the other party couldn't wait to take it, so he opened his mouth and ate it. While eating, the touching tears once again emerged. He wiped his tears with his white suit and even stuffed the chicken leg into his mouth. This looked like a homeless man who had never eaten in his eight lifetimes. Seeing Lao Zhang next to him, he thought he had met a fake foreigner.
At this time, Yang Xun pushed open the door with his feet and walked in with a box of beer in his arms. He was sweating profusely. Lei Dongbao hurriedly came forward to take it, put it on the ground, and quickly closed the door. The smell was too high, and he was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble!
Old Man Boer opened the ice beer on the side very naturally, drank half a bottle of it, and then said with satisfaction.
"That's perfect, Lei, I don't know why this is the machine, or your cooking skills are so great, it makes me feel that I'm more interested in this magical machine, Lei, let's talk about business!"
Lei Dongbao nodded with a smile, took out a catalog list from his briefcase on the bed and handed it to Old Man Boole.
Boole took the catalog table and just read a few lines of words, he couldn't help but exclaim.
"Oh, this is too expensive!"
This made Lei Dongbao unhappy, and then took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Old Man Boole while saying seriously.
"Mr. Bull, do you have any misunderstanding? Not all of our Chinese machinery and equipment are bargains. I forgot to tell you that this air fryer is the exclusive patented product of our factory. We have already registered international patents, including yours, forty countries, including the United States!"
Old Man Boer took the document handed over by Lei Dongbao, opened it and was shocked. He couldn't help but look up at Lei Dongbao. From the beginning, he was ready to come and explore the way. If the offer on Lei Dongbao is too expensive, he would find other manufacturers to produce it, or use this method to force Lei Dongbao to reduce the price!
Since the reform and opening up of China, countless companies have been willing to make foreign exchange for production, or just to open up the American market, and even produce for foreigners at a loss. It is a great experience!
In his opinion, this air fryer that is produced in China will cost at most thirty or fifty dollars. At that time, he will be priced at 40 dollars. If Lei Dongbao is unwilling, he can naturally find other manufacturers to produce it. What a great thing!
But I never expected that Lei Dongbao was so insidious. This was the first time he met a Chinese who paid so much attention to patent ownership. In recent years, every time he came to the Canton Fair to purchase any Chinese product, there were basically no registered patents internationally.
Of course, most of the goods in China are exported from raw materials or some handicrafts, and are truly technically compatible. Many European and American countries, from the beginning, their positioning of China is to purchase raw materials and finally produce goods and then return them to China at a high price. This model is very exciting in many emerging countries.
Now that Lei Dongbao is slapping him so strongly, he taught him a lesson!
Lei Dongbao continued with a smile.
"Mr. Boole, in fact, I offer 300 US dollars each, which is not too expensive. Most of the ovens in your country are also priced between 200 and 300 US dollars. This air fryer is the latest product, not to mention the food it baked is less oily and healthy, which is very consistent with your European and American eating habits. I think you can sell for 599 US dollars in retail, and it should be very marketable!"
Old Man Boole quickly shook his head and explained quickly.
"Lei, this is too expensive, for 300 US dollars, you can buy a very good brand oven. This new household appliance, we also need huge promotion costs. You are the price, I think no buyer will buy it. I swear in the name of God, this price is really too expensive. Lei, if your price has been determined, I am really sorry. Thank you for bringing me a delicious food feast!"
Lei Dongbao looked at the old man very serious and immediately thought about whether his price was too expensive?
Well, maybe it's a bit expensive. I saw this price in a novel, but he was not willing to let it down too much. He finally got the opportunity to pick up foreigners' wool. He didn't want to kill them once. He felt unwilling to accept it if he didn't kill them once.
Lei Dongbao thought for a while before he immediately said.
"Mr. Boole, you also said that this is a new type of home appliance product. The product you see now is already a mature electrical product. What you don't know is that we spent more than 10 million US dollars to develop this product, and our cost price is already not low, so we set this price!"
Old Man Boole was embarrassed. He also knew that the cost of a new type of electrical appliance from research and development to mature products was definitely very high, but the price was too high. He was also considering whether to simply purchase 100 units and try it?
Lao Zhang, who was standing beside him, was confused before he could figure out the situation. The secretary next to him quickly translated the conversation between the two of them just now. When Lao Zhang heard that he had 300 US dollars each, he almost jumped up. He quickly stood up and wanted to talk to Lei Dongbao, why didn’t Lei Dongbao see this? His heart is so dark, it’s so dark!
Lao Zhang's behavior was as if he had realized it. Just as he was about to speak out, Lei Dongbao glanced at him with a squint eyes, ignored it, then turned around to block Lao Zhang's figure, turned around and smiled and said to Old Man Buer.
"Mr. Boole, you are guests from afar. My price is indeed a bit high, but our cost of R&D is also very high. We can't do business at a loss. This way, as a friend, I can give you a certain discount. After I carefully calculate the cost, I will write you a purchase price. What do you think?"
When Old Man Boer heard Lei Dongbao's words, his eyes lit up and he nodded quickly, expressing his approval!
Lei Dongbao smiled and took out a notebook from his briefcase, took out another pen, and started writing on the notebook. He only handed it to Old Man Boole after writing a list.
Old Man Boer took Lei Dongbao's notebook and looked carefully. His face instantly showed a look of surprise, but after carefully looking, he showed a look of distress. The expression on his face was mixed, so Old Zhang, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but want to peek at what Lei Dongbao had written!
