Chapter 193 Foreigners come to the door
New York, a city full of prosperity and deformity, is full of mythical cities of getting rich overnight and going bankrupt all over the place, including luxury and poverty that is not covered in clothes and food without losing weight. All extremes are reflected and staged here at all times.
In a daily necessities store, several white women are buying daily necessities here. Judging from their clothes and style, they are obviously either rich or noble at home, at least at the level of gold collar.
"Mrs. Marlene, look, this is a new product from the UK. These things are already sold there." The salesperson was an Italian beauty with a squeaky hair. He obviously recognized the young lady who came to see the goods, so he greeted him enthusiastically.
"What good thing?" The lady called Marlene was obviously full of curiosity and couldn't help asking. She has always been very enthusiastic about the consumption of luxury goods and is also a frequent visitor to this high-end cosmetics store.
"Look, this scented shampoo, I tell you, not only does this shampoo have a fragrance after washing, but it can also stop nourishing and remove dandruff." The salesman's name is Lilian, with red lips and white teeth, looking at Mrs. Marlene with a smile, enthusiastically introducing the new product.
Mrs. Malin has not been married for a long time. Her husband is a senior administrative assistant in a fund company and has a good family background. Therefore, Mrs. Malin is very interested in all kinds of luxury goods: "Is it really that amazing?" As she asked, she also held a sample in her hand and rubbed it with her hands, as if she was feeling the texture of the packaging.
This is a spontaneous product identification model for the public. Generally speaking, the packaging of good products will be better.
"You don't believe it. If you don't believe it, I have prepared a basin and hot water behind me. Do you want to try it? After you wash it, you must want Ah Hua. Take Mrs. Marin and a few young ladies to the back to try the shampoo." In a private room in this mall, there is even a special place to wash your hair.
As for Lilian herself, she swears to promise several women. This is not a bragging, because she is also using this product, and the effect is excellent, so she naturally has the confidence to sell it.
Half an hour later, when several American wives rushed out from behind without any illusion, regardless of their wet hair, Lilian knew that it would not take long before she finally won the exclusive agency of this shampoo called "Fragrant Flower" in New York, how much profit would it bring to him.
At the same time, the mall owner who was observing the effect of the new product on the shelves on the backstage was also upset. Why didn’t he come back from those British merchants to buy more goods? And also the facial cleanser and acne cream will also come back next time. This shampoo is so effective and believes that the two things that can make the skin whiter and tenderer and remove acne on the face must also be effective.
In this era, the economy of the United States has just begun to decline, and the people still have strong demand for consumption. Especially the huge profits brought by the prosperity of the market have made these American capitalists ecstatic. Second, a relatively famous and powerful business association has recently emerged in the UK, making a lot of money due to the trade of various cosmetics.
Although many people are jealous, it is said that the business association is related to the CIA in the UK. When they think of the ubiquitous terrorist spy agency, even the chaebols have retreated. Although the Jewish chaebols have very political influence, they will not fall out with the CIA for such a little benefit, because it is not cost-effective.
Of course, this "Fragrant Flower" series of daily necessities was also a product made by Yi Zhongming. Qingzhu Chemical's chemical research group has been established for so long, and it is not just developing "sulfonamides". As early as July 1923, a certain number of apprentices and technicians were trained, and Yi Zhongming, as a capital businessman, would no longer support these people in vain.
Although the task of the Chemistry Group was originally to produce chemicals needed for the Guwen Huihuo Tianyu Group to produce ammunition and special chemicals, Zhong Yang reminded that Yi Zhongming would not let such a large amount of income as the most profitable daily chemicals be lost in vain.
Moreover, the chemical factory under Qingzhu Chemical has been established for so long but has not produced some things that can be seen by civilians, which is easy to attract attention. Zhong Yang does not want specific production materials to be known so quickly, and it will still be exposed in time. It is better to delay the delay as much as possible.
On that day, Yi Zhongming was happily discussing the profits brought by the "Xianghua" series of products with sales manager Li Quanwang in the office. An employee came in and reported that an American "Uncle Sam" wanted to meet Manager Li.
"See me? He said something was wrong?" Li Quanwang was a little confused. The person who came to pick up the goods was basically the person sent by Smith. Why did he find an American this time?
"I didn't say it, he just said he wanted to talk to you." The female employee was very young, had a very ordinary appearance, and seemed a little restrained in front of the two "big people".
"That's it, then Chairman, I'll go out first." After hearing this, Li Quanwang could only accuse Yi Zhongming of the crime and followed the female employee to leave the office. For the company, it's still important to do the business.
"Wait, Awang, I'll go with you." Yi Zhongming was idle, and called Li Quanwang while calling out to go together. The two of them were not old in grades, and they usually get along well and had a good relationship.
"Go together?" Li Quanwang didn't care, but he was worried that Yi Zhongming would delay his job.
"I think this American should be coming for the 'Fragrant Flower' product. Maybe our opportunity to expand the North American market will also come." Tianyu Group's sedan has begun to be listed in New York with a backdoor listing and is in a hot sale, so Yi Zhongming is very moved.
There are constant domestic wars, and the consumption of the entire market is in a downturn. There is no high-end luxury goods sold at all, so it is more cost-effective to explore overseas markets. If you only trade with Smith, the profit margin will definitely not be maximized, and sales are also a big problem.
When he arrived at the living room, he saw a brown-haired American sitting on the sofa waiting, and the green tea on the coffee table was even breathing heat. Seeing Yi Zhongming and Li Quanwang coming in, he hurriedly got up and saluted and asked in somewhat broken Chinese: "Hello, is it Manager Li?"
"Hello, I'm the one." Li Quanwang hurriedly replied. Although he has received many big names in the business world in the past few years, it is the first time he has dealt with foreigners, so he is inevitably a little nervous.
Yi Zhongming is obviously different. He often comes into contact with foreigners abroad, has received orthodox education, and his self-esteem mentality gives him enough vigilance to deal with foreigners. However, when he sees this foreigner sitting so properly waiting for someone and taking the initiative to greet him, Yi Zhongming has a good meeting with him in his heart.
If you can join the ancient Chinese Society, you are more or less ambitious and will not pretend to be disgusted by others. Besides, this is Li Quanwang's job, and if it is not necessary, Yi Zhongming will not interfere in the actions of his subordinates without authorization.
"I am Handalton from the United States. I am doing business in London. I accidentally saw your company's 'Fragrance' shampoo sells quite well. I also bought a bottle and tried it out. Oh my God, I dare to swear by my grandfather's name. I have never seen such a useful shampoo product."
"I dare say that if your company's products can be sold abroad, they will definitely be better than China." After a pause on the way, Handalton's Chinese was not fluent, but his pronunciation was quite clear, and both Yi Zhongming and Li Quanwang could easily hear it clearly.
"Mr. Handalton, first of all, I have to introduce it. Although I am the sales manager of this company, the one around me is Mr. Yi Zhongming, the chairman of Qingzhu Chemical. I think it is more appropriate to talk to our Chairman Yi about what you want to sell our company's products overseas."
Although Li Quanwang is very good at dealing with domestic businessmen, it is the first time he is doing business with foreigners. He quickly pushed Yi Zhongming out. Anyway, he also said that he wanted to develop overseas markets. He didn't know how to deal with foreigners, but the chairman meeting.
In this case, Yi Zhongming had to stand up with a wry smile. Indeed, as a sales manager, Li Quanwang had the right to decide how to arrange the plan. As for how to finalize the basic strategy with the other party, Yi Zhongming must personally take the lead.
"Mr. Handalton, welcome you to us, and I am also very happy that you are willing to do business with our Qingzhu Chemical. As you said just now, you have used our products and are very satisfied with its efficacy, but don't you know that you have used the other two products?"
"Are you saying that facial cleansers that can whiten the skin and tender it and acne cream that can remove acne on your face?"
“That’s right.”
"I have used it, but I don't feel that it can whiten the skin, but I can feel that the skin is very......" Handalton couldn't remember what words to describe it. His Chinese is still the level of a crash course.
"It's very refreshing." Yi Zhongming smiled, reminding him with kindness.
"Oh yes, it's very refreshing and refreshing. Acne cream I haven't tried it yet because I don't have acne on my face."
"It doesn't matter if you haven't tried it, let's take a look at these photos." Yi Zhongming asked the female staff member who was standing outside the door to hand him the photos taken specifically when he was experimenting.
"Oh my God, I really can't believe my own eyes. Is the photo real?" Handalton shouted in surprise when he saw the photo, but this expression was just something he pretended to. Praise and amazement can gain the favor of others, but Handalton is very good at this business philosophy.
As for Yi Zhongming, although he has done this business with Smith, his North American sales rights have nothing to do with the UK. He trades with Americans, as long as he does not sell it to Europe, doing so will not be considered a breach of the contract.
In the photo, after a period of use, several young boys and girls with dark and acne had obvious whitening skin and the acne on their faces were completely eliminated. There was no computer PS in this era, so it was very difficult to manually trim these photos, so the credibility of the photos at this time was much better than that of later generations.
"Mr. Handalton, what is displayed in the photos is absolutely true. Of course, we understand your doubts about the performance of these two products, because it takes time to show the effects of these two products, and it is impossible to show in the short term."
"Mr. Tianyi, if all you said is true, do you know how much profit is?" Handalton continued his exaggerated expression, but it seemed funny in Yi Zhongming's eyes.
Despite this, Yi Zhongming also had a good impression of this interesting American. The two smiled and discussed some general strategies for cooperation and roughly profit distribution models.
Li Quanwang stood beside the two, smiling without saying a word. Of course, he knew and estimated the profit and value of these things. He also knew that Yi Zhongming just wanted to see how honest this American was and whether his company could cooperate with him.
For Yi Zhongming, making money alone is not far enough. Not only Guwenhui and Tianyu Group have the need to expand. Qingzhu Chemical also needs to go to the world with such thoughts. Yi Zhongming naturally has something else to cooperate in it to facilitate entry into the North American market and that vibrant land.
"You wouldn't think that you really wouldn't think that these things can make you become the richest man in China. These things can make women all over the world crazy. Let women all over the world drill into your pockets. You will become as rich as American rich men. Oh my God, I dare not imagine how rich you will be. Dear Mr. Duan, I beg you to let me be an agent of these products in the United States. If it doesn't work, just one state can do it." Handalton was obviously a little crazy and grabbed Yi Zhongming's hand and said eagerly.
Yi Zhongming also knew very well about the other party’s thoughts. Judging from the situation, he should be a shrewd and visionary businessman. There is no problem in carrying out cooperation, and he can even be supported.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I didn't say I won't be an agent for you, but I was thinking, since it's business, everyone hopes that the benefits can be maximized, and I'm thinking about how to cooperate well." For such a good partner, Yi Zhongming naturally has to try his best to comfort and win over.
"Well, this matter needs to be discussed carefully." With Yi Zhongming's approval, the business was finally confirmed, and Handalton wiped away the sweat from his head. Although the performance just now was pretending, he was indeed a little nervous.
To be honest, his company itself is not very financially strong, and it is still difficult to take on this business. Therefore, he needs to visit him and even put on a low-key attitude. He uses various exaggerated expression patterns to show his other party's affair. This is the secret for him to grow from a small businessman to his present day.
"Handalton, since the end of the war that caused chaos in Europe, the United States must have produced a lot of remaining weapons, ammunition and steel. I hope you can help me get some such materials." There is no need to worry about the lack of a market for arms in China.
And the ancient Chinese will not only sell the weapons and equipment they produce. After all, they will give people a handle and the impact is not good. Zhong Yang has long thought of buying a batch of other types of arms at a low price, as a trump card sold to special forces in special periods. Doing so will not easily attract others' attention.
Yi Zhongming was naturally very clear about this matter, so he took the opportunity to tell Han Dalton to watch the other party's reaction. The ancient Chinese Society needed such a capital businessman who dared to abandon all laws for the sake of his interests.
Seeing Han Dalton's face full of contemplation, obviously estimating the impact of the weapon ban order. Yi Zhongming was not in a hurry and then asked: "I think there must be some food. If they were mixed and transported to me, it would not be a difficult thing."
Under Yi Zhongming's earnest temptation, Han Dalton was also a little moved. Indeed, he was transported with food and was accepted here, so it was not easy for others to pay attention to it. Moreover, there are many people smuggling arms these days, so who cares about this? As long as you have money and the price is appropriate, you have to negotiate after buying it.
Seeing that the other party's expression changed a little, the rhythm in his heart was also controlled by Yi Zhongming: "To be honest, I think Handalton, your life is not ideal. You should know that foreigners who come to China to do business are either old business associations or penniless adventurers."
"...Duan, as you said, my situation is not very good." When talking about his situation, Handalton was a little discouraged. The entire American economy is declining, and the people may not be aware of anything, but small and medium-sized capital businessmen like this are the first to be affected, and the first group of fish to be affected.
Large companies are strong in power and can still support them for a while. On the contrary, people like Handalton were directly excluded from the periphery and suffered the first round of impact of the economic crisis.
"Okay, I'm so honest about you. You are the talent I need. I also need you to register a new company in the United States. Of course, for a while, you are the general manager of our company in the United States. How about it?"
Yi Zhongming was not on a whim. It was the established strategy of the Guwen Association for supporting more foreign leather bag companies.
"this……"
"Handalton, I know your concerns. This way, you don't have to tell anyone that you are an employee of our company. During the period when you were the general manager, 30% of the profits of the products I sold in the United States belong to you."
"Okay, I agree." Handalton sold himself without hesitation when he heard that he had a 30% commission.
"Also, I need you to introduce some experts and professors from all aspects to me. I will be rewarded with $1,500 for each introduction."
The $1,500 in 1924 was a huge temptation for Handalton, enough for him to abduct the US president.
"I'll try this." As he said this, the excitement between his eyebrows had long been betrayed his true inner emotions.
In this way, Yi Zhongming coaxed and deceived Handalton into his Qingzhu Chemical Industry, and after Donald, he once again began to develop overseas markets.
It can be imagined that in ten years, ancient Chinese will bloom on the land full of money in North America...
