Of course Gao Fan remembered Wang Yongxiang's previous disdain for him, but he had no intention of arguing with Wang Yongxiang from the beginning. In Gao Fan's view, Wang Yongxiang was an old man with outdated ideas. As a time traveler with a golden finger, Gao Fan
, is it worth arguing with such a person?
After hearing the New Year's greetings, Gao Fan stood up and walked to Wang Yongxiang's side. Speaking fluent English, he started talking with the foreign businessman opposite Wang Yongxiang and clarified the matter in a few words.
It turns out that this foreign businessman's name is Navin, a furniture dealer from Malaysia. As everyone has already known, China's traditional craft furniture has quite a market in Southeast Asia. There are several furniture companies in Malaysia.
We introduced withered furniture from China and sold well in Malaysia.
Navin's company has never distributed Chinese flower furniture before. This time he came to China specifically to explore the way, hoping to find cooperation with several furniture factories and act as their dealers in Malaysia. He has just transferred to several provinces
There was no display of withered flower furniture at any of the booths in Maolin Province. Now I found that there was such a product in the Maolin Province booth, so I came in to inquire about the situation.
Gao Fan told Wang Yongxiang the situation. Wang Yongxiang was overjoyed and immediately took out a large stack of information to introduce to Naven. Since Gao Fan had already started, he could only continue to be their translator.
The two parties talked for more than ten minutes, and Naven's face clearly showed a look of satisfaction. He accepted the information provided by Wang Yongxiang and claimed that he would go to other booths to compare, and said that if the conditions of other manufacturers were consistent with the conditions of Fengling Furniture Factory,
, he will give priority to products from Maple Ridge Furniture Factory.
"Xiao Gao, did you hear correctly just now? Mr. Naven really said that we should be given priority."
Watching Naven walking towards the booths of other provinces and cities, Wang Yongxiang asked slightly uneasily.
"This is what Naven said. However, Director Wang, as the saying goes, there is no businessman without a traitor. We just listen to Naven's words, and you are not..., uh, I mean,
Our Maolin is nothing special, his promise is just a casual talk."
Gao Fan swallowed his ridicule. He wanted to say that Wang Yongxiang was not a beautiful person, so Naven would not forget about him, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his words.
He was not that familiar with Lao Wang, so it was better not to say some wisecracks.
Wang Yongxiang didn't hear what Gao Fan swallowed back. He rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "Xiao Gao, you are wrong. It is true that no businessman can be raped, but that is about us Chinese. You don't
If you have done foreign trade, you would not know that foreigners are very honest. Since Mr. Naveen said this, he must be interested in our products.
"He just said that his company is the largest in the Malaysian furniture industry. If their company is willing to become the dealer of our Maple Ridge Furniture Factory, our exports can at least double and we can earn over 10 million US dollars in foreign exchange a year.
It’s not a dream anymore.”
"Well, okay, then I wish Factory Manager Wang a prosperous business in advance."
Gao Fan shrugged his shoulders and said a compliment casually.
Nowadays, Chinese people really have many misunderstandings about the word "foreign". The concept that foreigners must be very honest is deeply ingrained in many people's minds. Even Gao Fan's father, Gao Yiping, would say this from time to time.
Rumors about "foreigners" paying special attention to so-and-so, or "foreigners" not caring about so-and-so. To put it bluntly, they are foreign businessmen's bullying of Chinese people. They want you to be ripped off willingly, and even give you a compliment after the killing.
People are very particular about their sword skills.
It was not until decades later that China and foreign countries completely swapped roles in trade relations, and the lighthouse country that pushed for free trade became the stronghold of trade protectionism. Only then did the Chinese people discover that the so-called fairy tales of "foreigners do what they want" were all gone.
It's fake. Only when the tide goes out can you find out who is swimming naked.
It is still the beginning of China's opening up, and Gao Fan cannot explain this to Wang Yongxiang.
Besides, we are not familiar with each other, right?
"Hey, Xiao Gao, if our cooperation with Mr. Naven can succeed, you will be the first to contribute. Tsk tsk tsk, college students are more capable than us. I heard you talking to Mr. Naven, and there was no stumbling at all. Could it be that
You studied English in college.”
Wang Yongxiang praised with a shy face. He said this, partly because he admired Gao Fan's English proficiency, but partly because he wanted to win over Gao Fan. He thought, if some foreign businessmen came again later, he would still
He has to count on Gao Fan to save him.
Just as he thought of this, two foreign businessmen actually came towards him. Wang Yongxiang came forward to greet him with a smile on his face, and just said "Hello", the other party came to him with a convenient smile.
A string of foreign languages came out, and Wang Yongxiang was immediately dumbfounded.
Even if he didn't understand the foreign language, he could still tell that the other person was speaking Japanese.
"You, Japanese... work"
Wang Yongxiang said this subconsciously.
It's a pity that he can speak Japanese like this.
Gao Fan had turned around just now and planned to go back to his place to catch a cat. Seeing this situation, he could only sigh softly, walked forward and said to Wang Yongxiang:
"Director Wang, these two said that they are buyers from Japan's Saakie Furniture Co., Ltd. and they want to know if your products have agents in Japan. If not, what are your agency conditions?"
"Oh,...hey, Xiao Gao, you still know Japanese!"
Wang Yongxiang nodded desperately in response. Suddenly his mind flashed and he couldn't help but look at Gao Fan and asked in shock.
Gao Fan smiled helplessly and said in a low-key voice: "This... you understand a little bit."
The booth of a province is not very big. Gao Fan "understood a little" here, and everyone in the exhibition group saw it. Therefore, Gao Fan became a firefighter in the exhibition group without any suspense, and he was overwhelmed by the translator.
When he arrived, someone came over to ask Gao Fan for help.
At first, everyone was a little embarrassed and felt that it was not appropriate to send Gao Fan out of thin air. But when they saw that others also asked Gao Fan for help, and Gao Fan's attitude was humble enough, everyone let go and started to "little Gao Xiao Gao"
It’s as casual as asking your juniors to make soy sauce.
After a day's exhibition, Gao Fan's voice became hoarse, but he gained the friendship and appreciation of everyone in the exhibition group. Everyone made various promises to Gao Fan, such as inviting Gao Fan to their place as a guest, with food included.
It's the kind of accommodation that includes a tour, and you also have to introduce some flowers in the unit to Gao Fan.
Listening to everyone happily communicating about their achievements, Gao Fan couldn't be happy. Throughout the whole day, not a single customer even cast a glance at the products in front of him.
The excitement belongs to everyone, and he has nothing.
