Chapter 616: Changing Cement
It’s time to sell the goods we collected, otherwise with so many people around, we would bring back a lot of things in just one day.
If this continues, there will be no place to put it.
Tomorrow another group of people will continue to participate in the four-day tour.
And with the experience from last time, they planned to bring more goods this time and try to fill up the space as much as possible.
As long as one person does not weigh more than 35 kilograms, it will be fine.
I heard that people from Manzhouli can bring a maximum of 50 kilograms of luggage with them, and it’s a different policy for each place.
The next morning, Xia Ran and Cheng Zi were waiting at the bus stop to prevent the clients from being intercepted midway.
As soon as Ivan got out of the car and saw Xia Ran, he gave her a huge smile and enthusiastically introduced the four people he brought with him to Xia Ran.
Other traders wanted to snatch it but had no chance to do so.
Xia Ran and Cheng Zi enthusiastically brought these people directly to their guest rooms.
The room next to hers had also been booked, and Peng Bo was waiting in the room with the door open.
She had prepared the goods early in the morning. Except for the meat, everything else was available.
Chengzi was responsible for making tea for everyone, and Xia Ran was responsible for taking several customers to see the goods.
"All the goods I have here are branded products from our country. None of them are of poor quality."
As Xia Ran spoke, he introduced where these things were produced and how far they were from here.
The Russians who heard it were particularly satisfied.
For clothes and shoes, Xia Ran would tear them apart with her hands and show them to everyone, and invite them to try them out themselves.
The frightened Maozi stepped back: "No, no, no need."
"Don't worry, if anything breaks, it's my fault. What I want to say is that the quality of all my products is guaranteed, so you can buy them without worry.
Whether you use it for your family or sell it to others, it is trustworthy and very popular. "
You must distinguish your own things from those of other dealers.
Not everyone is like Xia Ran, who only gets good stuff.
There is a huge price difference between good products and inferior products, so many people choose to barter with cheap defective products.
It may not be very obvious in the short term, but it will definitely damage its reputation over time.
It will also bring bad reputation to our country, so we must stop this from the beginning.
We must single out our own side.
Let all customers who have cooperated with us know that we do not have any defective products, only good products with guaranteed quality.
Sure enough, these people were very supportive of Xia Ran's simple and rough method of inspecting the goods, and some of them even boldly tried to pull them.
He nodded as he tried it, "Okay, good stuff."
Xia Ran also specially prepared water to wipe the leather jacket.
He dripped some water on the leather jacket and rubbed it. "Look, this is all pure pig leather. The quality is impeccable. It is not dyed with ink. You can wear it with confidence without worrying about fading."
After they finished looking at the goods, they sat down to drink tea and negotiate the price. One of the Maozi said, "Good tea."
"Well, this is the latest new tea this year, and also the first batch of tea. The production is very small, very precious, and naturally tastes good."
The other few Russians didn't say anything but nodded repeatedly to show their agreement.
The first person they talked to was Victor, the head of a cement factory. Xia Ran took him to the room next door where Peng Bo was.
The others continued to stay in the original room and drink tea.
After Victor sat down, he took out the note he had prepared long ago, added and subtracted some things on it, and handed over the final list of goods he wanted.
"I'll exchange it for 200 tons of cement."
Xia Ran looked at the list.
20 pairs of sneakers, 100 sets of sportswear, 50 leather jackets, 100 shirts, 100 pairs of flowered shorts, 200 pieces of soap, 500 tubes of toothpaste, and 200 toothbrushes.
Xia Ran quickly estimated in his mind that the cost of these things was nearly four thousand yuan, and there was no point in selling them.
Not cost-effective.
If you buy these things nearby, they will cost you nearly 1 yuan.
And if 200 tons of cement are resold to these middlemen, it is estimated that the maximum price is only 150 yuan per ton, which is only 3 yuan.
We also have to leave room for middlemen to make money.
What's the point of exchanging it for this price?
Xia Ran shook her head and said, "The price of cement in our country is very low, the price you offer is not acceptable.
Either you reduce the quantity of goods you purchase, or increase the amount of cement.
If you use 400 tons of cement, I will agree, otherwise it will not be enough effort. "
After the cement arrives, we still have to hire people to load and unload it, and these are all costs, not to mention tariffs.
By the way, I handed the list back.
Victor took the order and hesitated for a long time, but was reluctant to reduce it. "300 tons."
Xia Ran shook her head, "No, just 400 tons.
Or you can buy it from me with money, and I can give you a lower price, just 15 rubles.
The payment for the goods must be made within three days. As you know, the ruble has depreciated sharply and we can't wait.
You can think about it carefully before making a decision.”
15 rubles is equivalent to more than 3 yuan according to today's exchange rate, and the key is that the ruble is depreciating every other day.
Compared with the cost of more than 1 yuan, the profit is exactly twice.
This business can be done.
Seeing that the other party was still hesitating, Xia Ran continued to add chips.
"If you agree to exchange 400 tons, I can give you 10 cans of food and 10 kilograms of beef."
Xia Ran laid out the cans that had been prepared long ago, "You can choose whatever you like.
The beef is delicious, you can ask Ivan. "
Victor was obviously tempted when he heard this. Cement belongs to the factory, and the materials he exchanged for belong to everyone.
But these things in front of him were given to him personally.
"I'll agree if you add another 10 pounds of pork, and the pork and beef should be the same as you gave Ivan yesterday.
You are responsible for the tariffs.”
"Okay, sure, no problem, but you have to ship the goods first. You know that cement is in large quantities but not valuable."
"it is good."
Xia Ran quickly wrote a contract in Chinese. Fortunately, the numbers were shared and the other party could understand it.
Space was left next to the list of items for the other party to mark in Russian.
Such a simple contract is done.
Xia Ran read it again with the other party, and after confirming that it was correct, she stamped the card with the company's seal and signed her name.
The other party does the same, so the deal is done.
"What kind of canned food do you want? Fruit, vegetable, fish, beef, or pork?"
Victor asked, "Give me the can now?"
"Yes, I'll give you the canned food this time. I'll give you the meat and other goods after we succeed in the deal."
Anyway, the canned food doesn’t cost much, and even if this person changes his mind after returning, I won’t lose much money.
"Okay, thank you," Victor selected canned fruit and beef, without even looking at the canned vegetables and fish.
"You're welcome. It's a pleasure to work with you. I still need steel, cars, tractors, airplanes, etc.
If your friends want to exchange goods, they can come to me, this is my phone number," Xia Ran handed over her business card.
Peng Bo found an empty bag and helped Victor pack the cans.
"Okay, no problem. I'll call you when I'm ready."
"Well, if you can introduce some friends to me, I'd like to thank you with a can."
"really?"
"Yes, if you don't want canned food, you can choose something else. I'm fine with either."
"Okay, I'll remember what you said."
