Chapter 352 Meeting an old friend in a foreign land
The next day, He Yuzhu and his colleagues got up early, had breakfast, and waited in their rooms to attend the pre-conference training for the Export Commodities Trading Conference held by the Ministry of Foreign Trade. At 8:30, they gathered in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, and the Ministry of Foreign Trade read out the "Decision on the Must-Unify Foreign Trade" of the Central Committee of the Workers' and Peasants' Party of the Rabbit Republic.
After reading out the unified external decision, the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Trade continued: "In addition to strictly abiding by the unified external decision, all the manufacturers participating in the exhibition should pay attention to their words and deeds when they come into contact with foreign businessmen, and must not do anything that damages the image of the country. Finally, I would like to emphasize that the product prices of each company must be based on the prices set by the 13 companies responsible for export, and prices must not be changed without permission. Two days later at 2:7 in the morning, there will be a bus at the hotel entrance to take everyone to the venue of the trade fair. Please don't be late. Well, I have said what I should say, and everyone can go back and rest."
After the others left, He Yuzhu was going to ask the staff of the Foreign Trade Department which company was responsible for the thermos kettle and the thermos cup, but he found Lu Nanquan in the crowd of the Foreign Trade Department. So he said to Fan Youxiang beside him: "Deputy Director Fan, you guys wait here for me. I saw an old acquaintance from the Foreign Trade Department. I'll go say hello to him." After that, He Yuzhu walked to Lu Nanquan and said: "Director Lu, I didn't expect that we would meet here."
Lu Nanquan turned his head in the direction of the voice and saw that it was He Yuzhu. He immediately said in surprise: "Xiao He, you are also here to participate in this export commodity trading conference?"
"Well, commissioned by the factory, I led a team to participate in this export commodity trading conference, and by the way, I came to communicate and learn from other manufacturers." He Yuzhu nodded and said.
"You are planning to promote your car this time, right?"
"Director Lu, you are only half right. This time I am not only here to promote the cars produced by our factory, but also to promote the thermos cups and thermos kettles that our factory has recently developed. I came here to ask the staff of our department for the contact information of the company responsible for exporting these two products. I never thought I would see you, so I came over to say hello."
"Oh, have you developed a new product this time? Do you have any samples? If so, bring them here for me to see." Lu Nanquan asked immediately when he heard that He Yuzhu was very interested.
"I have them. Director Lu, please wait a moment. I will ask our factory staff to bring some samples." After saying that, He Yuzhu walked to Fan Youxiang and said, "Deputy Director Fan, please bring down some samples of thermos cups and thermos kettles. Director Lu of the Ministry of Foreign Trade wants to take a look."
"Okay, Director He, I'll get it right away." After saying that, Fan Youxiang led the other three people to their living room.
He Yuzhu returned to Lu Nanquan again and said, "Director Lu, the samples are in the room where we live. They have gone upstairs to get them and will be down soon."
"Don't be in a hurry. By the way, Xiao He, are the thermos cups made by your factory particularly suitable for the Russian bears?" Lu Nanquan asked as he thought of something.
"It's hard to say whether the thermos kettle is suitable, but I feel that the thermos cup is very suitable for the winter in Russia. With this cup, I can always have hot water to drink." He Yuzhu thought for a while and replied.
At this time, Fan Youxiang and his friends came to He Yuzhu from the upstairs room with thermos cups. He Yuzhu took the thermos cup from Fan Youxiang with a smile, opened the lid, and began to show and explain the features of the thermos cup to Lu Nanquan.
"Director Lu, this thermos cup produced by our factory is made of 304 stainless steel produced by our steel plant. This stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance and strength, as well as good thermal conductivity and high temperature resistance. Because of the use of stainless steel, the thermos cup is very convenient to carry and is not afraid of bumps at all, making it particularly suitable for outdoor and low-temperature use. In addition, in terms of heat preservation performance, after 100-degree boiling water is put into the thermos cup, the water temperature can still be maintained at about 4 degrees after 40 hours. In this way, whether in the cold winter or when traveling outdoors, you can always enjoy warm drinks."
Lu Nanquan listened carefully to He Yuzhu's introduction, and took a thermos cup from him, carefully feeling the feel and weight of the cup. He couldn't help but sigh: "This cup is not light! The material is really solid. By the way, Xiao He, what is the factory price of this cup?"
He Yuzhu thought for a moment and replied, "Director Lu, the production cost of the cup you are holding in our factory is currently 10 yuan."
"Why is it so high? Where's the thermos?"
"The thermos costs 20 yuan each. The reason why the cost is so high is that it is produced temporarily and a lot of labor is used in the production process. If we want to mass-produce it in the future, we can develop special equipment to reduce the labor cost. But even if it is 10 yuan each, if it is exported to the bears, it doesn't seem too expensive given their per capita income. Many people should be able to afford it."
"Then I'll try to sell it to the Mao Xiong people when I meet them later." Lu Nanquan thought for a moment and said. He looked at He Yuzhu and handed the thermos cup back to him to express his gratitude. However, He Yuzhu waved his hand and said sincerely: "Director Lu, you can keep this thermos cup for yourself!"
Lu Nanquan showed a trace of confusion and surprise on his face. He answered firmly: "No, Xiao He, you are asking me to make a mistake. We cannot accept any form of gifts or bribes. This is a matter of principle."
He Yuzhu smiled and explained, "Director Lu, you misunderstood. Please listen to me. The reason why I gave you this thermos cup is that I hope you can use it as a sample. In this way, when you meet with the people from Mao Xiong, you can directly take out this thermos cup and show it to them. In comparison, just verbally describing the advantages of the product may seem a bit pale and powerless. Through the actual sample display, we can more intuitively attract their attention and show our sincerity and strength. Moreover, the value of this thermos cup is not high, only ten yuan, but if we can successfully impress the interest of Mao Xiong and facilitate the transaction, the benefits it brings will far exceed this small investment. So, I think this is a very worthwhile investment."
After listening to He Yuzhu's words, Lu Nanquan nodded slightly to show his agreement. He realized that He Yuzhu's suggestion did make sense. So he put aside his concerns and said with a smile: "Xiao He, you are right. In this case, I will accept this thermos cup and try to successfully export millions of them like I did with the diesel heating stoves before."
