Chapter 172 Bargaining

Ma Dexing turned into a waiter again. He handed a cup of tea to Li Weidong and said, Director Li, it's hard work!

Li Weidong was not polite, took the tea and drank it, then wiped his mouth and said, This fried stuff is really easy to get thirsty, and it takes a lot of time to introduce it to foreigners. It's going to smoke!

Why don't you say you've worked hard! I'll pour you another glass of water! Ma Dexing took the teacup from Li Weidong, but did not leave, but asked, How many air fryers did that foreign businessman buy?

1,000 units, and they told me the price for a long time, and finally it was sold for 315 US dollars. Li Weidong replied.

That's also 315,000 US dollars! Ma Dexing paused, then continued: Including the Belgian just now, your air fryer has already received an order of 2.63 million US dollars.

Director Ma, you remember it better than I do! Li Weidong replied with a smile.

Ma Dexing leaned forward and said, I just got the news that Gordon from Walmart has left the hotel where he was staying, and it is estimated that he is coming to the Canton Fair. There is also an American named Hayward. Today Just arrived, he is also a buyer of a large retailer in the United States, it seems that his name will kill him!

Yes? Li Weidong asked immediately.

Yes, that's the pronunciation. I've only heard it once, but I don't remember it. Ma Dexing nodded, and then said, It was originally called, so you can't pronounce it wrong next time.

Unexpectedly, Costco is also here. Although Costco is mainly a member-based warehouse and wholesale business, they have always sold electrical appliances, especially small appliances, which are more important products in Costco. It seems that I have to try to catch this Heywood.

Thinking of this, Li Weidong said, Director Ma, I have something to trouble you.

Whatever, you can say anything! As long as I can do it, I'll do it for you right away! Ma Dexing said, patting his chest.

Go to the vegetable market and help me kill some chickens! Also, buy some potatoes. Li Weidong said.

You want to eat chicken stew with potatoes? Ma Dexing blurted out.

Li Weidong pointed to the refrigerator behind him and said, This American loves fried chicken and fried potato chips. I have run out of chicken nuggets here, and there are not many potato chips left. When Gordon arrives, There's nothing to show.

I understand, I will immediately arrange for someone to kill the chicken at the vegetable market, and promise to bring the chicken to you before Gordon arrives. Ma Dexing nodded.

Director Ma,

Don't forget to let the chicken slaughter chop the chicken for me. I don't want any chicken heads, chicken necks, and chicken feet. Foreigners don't eat them. There is less meat on the chicken ribs, and I don’t want it. In short, I just pick up that kind of meat and leave it to me. Also, foreigners don’t eat internal organs, so they have to pick out chicken hearts, chicken livers, and chicken gizzards. Li Weidong then ordered.

Ma Dexing professionally took out a small version and wrote on it: No chicken head, chicken neck, chicken feet, chicken ribs, chicken internal organs...

Also, buy young hens. First, the meat is more tender and easy to fry; second, the hens have more fat and are delicious when fried. Li Weidong continued.

Young little hen... Ma Dexing said these words a few times, but he always felt strange in his heart.

...

Gordon is still not used to getting up early. When he arrived at the Canton Fair Complex, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

In the seat cushion exhibition area, after learning that Gordon arrived, he immediately became excited. Everyone knows that Gordon is the largest customer of car seat cushions.

Sure enough, when Gordon came to the cushion booth, he received the warmest welcome.

The new car seat cushions of various materials in the seat cushion exhibition area also dazzled Gordon.

The price wars of various exhibitors are also frantic, and even linen car seat cushions have even been quoted below US$7. After all, Gordon is a big customer who can request hundreds of thousands of items at a time, and exhibitors are willing to bleed heavily for Gordon.

For a while, Gordon seemed to have a difficult choice, he didn't know what to buy.

In the end, Gordon placed an order for 250,000 pieces, not only for linen car seat cushions, but also for car seat cushions made of other materials.

And these 250,000 orders did not even exceed one million US dollars.

Linen and wool are the most expensive textile materials. Other textile materials are cheaper, such as straw cushions, which are even cheaper.

The low price of materials means low manufacturing costs, and of course quotations become cheaper.

These domestic manufacturers rarely deal with foreign countries, and they do not understand the principle of pricing according to market demand. profit.

Gordon is very happy in his heart. In his opinion, these manufacturers are stupid, not to mention low prices, and they also bargain with each other, but in the end they are cheap for themselves, and they ordered at a price of less than one million US dollars. 250,000 car seat cushions with different materials.

It's great to not have to deal with that sly Li! Gordon thought of this, looked around, and did not find Li Weidong.

Gordon couldn't help but asked, Is Mr. Li Weidong here, why haven't I seen him this year?

Director Li didn't come this year. The company you ordered from has also changed to another manager, someone explained.

So it is. Gordon nodded. In the United States, it is normal for companies to change owners, and Gordon is not surprised.

Picking up the cheap Gordon, he left the cushion exhibition area contentedly, and then began to wander around the exhibition hall.

Suddenly, the smell of fried food entered Gordon's nose.

For an American, the aroma of this fried food is not unfamiliar. The United States is full of fast food restaurants selling fried food. As long as there are people, you can find hamburgers, fried chicken, fried doughnuts and other foods. . Even though some burger joints have grilled patties in their burgers, the fries still have to be deep-fried.

In the American instinct, Gordon walked in the direction of that smell.

Then Gordon saw a familiar face, it was Li Weidong.

Didn't those people say before that Li Weidong didn't come! Why is he still wearing an apron? Gordon's face showed curiosity, and then he stepped forward.

Li Weidong also saw Gordon, and across the distance, he greeted Gordon: Mr. Gordon, my old friend, we meet again!

Mr. Li, I just went to the cushion exhibition area. I didn't see you. I thought you didn't come. I didn't expect you to appear here! Exhibition area? Have you changed your career to make household appliances?

Yes, I changed careers, Mr. Gordon, do you want to come and see my products? Li Weidong pointed to the air fryer in front of him.

I'm very sorry, but I'm not interested in household appliances made in China. Gordon said, glanced at the air fryer, and couldn't help but ask: What is this? I don't seem to have seen such household appliances.

This thing is called an air fryer, a machine that uses air to fry. Li Weidong explained.

Gordon showed a surprised expression: Frying with air? Are you kidding?

Mr. Gordon, do you look like I'm joking? This machine uses air instead of hot oil in a frying pan to fry food. If you don't believe me, give me a few minutes and I can Show it to you. Li Weidong made a please gesture.

Gordon nodded, and he went to the opposite side of Li Weidong to witness Li Weidong's operation with his own eyes.

After a while, a plate of golden french fries appeared in front of Gordon.

Mr. Gordon, try it, the fries you just fried, I still have ketchup here. Li Weidong said, took out a small bottle of ketchup and squeezed it beside the plate.

Gordon started directly, picked up a french fries, looked at it carefully, then dipped it in ketchup, and put the fries in his mouth.

It's really french fries! Gordon showed an expression of amazement. He had just witnessed the transformation of raw potato fries into french fries with his own eyes, and he had tasted it for himself. Naturally, he felt that this air fryer was amazing.

Mr. Gordon, in addition to French fries, this air fryer can also fry fish, fried steak, fried chicken nuggets, as long as you can think of, you can fry it. Li Weidong said, took out A few pieces of chicken, and then said: I'll show you fried chicken now!

After a while, several pieces of golden fried chicken appeared in front of Gordon.

Hello everyone, our public account will find gold and coin red packets every day, as long as you pay attention, you can get it. The last benefit at the end of the year, please seize the opportunity. Public account [Book Friends Base Camp]

Although the principle of the air fryer is similar to that of the oven, there are still differences. The oven uses heat directly to bake the food, while the air fryer uses hot air to bake the food.

Another feature of hot air is that it can directly blow away the moisture on the surface of the food, making the food look more like it has been fried, and because the hot gas will continue to flow, the air fryer will heat more than the oven. evenly. The food cooked in the air fryer also looks better than traditional fried food or barbecued food.

For example, these very attractive fried chicken nuggets instantly caught Gordon's attention.

Can you taste it? Gordon asked.

Of course. Li Weidong handed the fork.

Gordon picked up a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth, mainly to make sure that the chicken was cooked.

The result is that the chicken is not only cooked, it tastes great.

It's an amazing product, Gordon praised again.

Li Weidong struck while the iron was hot and asked, Mr. Gordon, I wonder if Wal-Mart is interested in this novel household appliance?

How much are you going to sell this machine for? Gordon asked.

$330, if Wal-Mart wants to buy a lot, the price can be negotiated! Li Weidong replied.

Hearing this price, Gordon shook his head: This thing is too expensive.

If Wal-Mart is willing to purchase more than 10,000 pieces, the price can be reduced to $300. Li Weidong immediately offered an olive branch.

The price of $300 is still too expensive. Gordon smiled and said, My ideal price is $100!
