Chapter 282: Yongcheng hits a wall
"No need to eat, I have to rush to other factories to check the goods."
"That won't work. I know most of the factory owners here. So, we can welcome you together tonight."
"Let's talk about business first." Seeing the boss so enthusiastic, Chen Xi did not refuse.
"Well, our bulk purchases here are calculated by weight. Our cheapest price is ten yuan per kilogram. I dare say there is no lower price than this in the whole country."
After discussing for a while, when he heard that Chen Xi was purchasing a huge quantity this time, and that he would continue to purchase in the future, he decided to adopt the strategy of small profits but quick turnover and directly offered an astonishing price.
Chen Xi was stunned when he heard this. You have to know that in this day and age, the price of acrylic sheets sold outside is more than ten yuan per kilogram, and the quality also depends on it.
The slightly better ones are sold for more than 30 yuan. Chen Caiyue's purchase of goods is problematic, and the general price is around 20 yuan, which is already a high price. I don't know how much money she has been cheated of over the years.
This is just the acrylic board. Materials such as light box cloth, printer ink, etc. have not been calculated yet.
He made a rough estimate and estimated that an advertising company paid at least nearly one million yuan in wasted money every year.
"Are you not satisfied with the price? Well, I also have a lot of workers to support..." Seeing that Chen Xi didn't say anything, the boss thought that the price did not satisfy the other party. When he thought that this was already the lowest price in the country and he would not make any money if it was any lower, his face looked a little unhappy, but he didn't want to miss such a big order.
"I……"
"Then let's make it nine dollars. We'll have long-term cooperation in the future." The boss gritted his teeth and lowered the price by another dollar.
This made Chen Xi swallow back what he was about to say, and he simply stretched out his hand and shook hands with the boss, thus reaching a cooperation agreement.
Damn, this boss is too honest.
Chen Xi was quite shocked.
Little did he know that if he didn't have a large quantity, he wouldn't be able to get this price at all, let alone ten yuan. The factory charges about fifteen yuan for sales to outsiders, and they are old friends. If it is exported, the price will be even higher.
What does nine dollars mean? Basically, the boss will not make any money. However, if the volume increases, it is still worthwhile.
The boss had his eyes on the chain graphic store that Chen Xi mentioned. You know, there is no graphic store of this scale in the whole country. With so many cities, how big will the volume be in the future?
Both of them were very satisfied with this cooperation. The boss even personally accompanied him to visit other manufacturers and helped him bargain. His enthusiasm was simply beyond measure.
After hearing about the quantity Chen Xi wanted, other manufacturers also gave him prices that satisfied him.
Part of the credit should be attributed to Lu Chengxian. The Lu family is well-known here. These bosses also want to ask for help from them in the future, so they naturally have to give Lu Chengxian a face.
Wushang doesn’t have everything. For example, the materials for LED lamps are mostly produced in Yongcheng, Chenxu’s hometown, and other materials are in Huanglu City.
The current graphic store has been opened in two provinces, and the speed is very fast. It will soon enter the Magic City and Zhijiang Province.
Chen Caiyue's graphic store is currently the largest brand in the country. Some people from northern cities even come to Xinlu specifically to seek cooperation. She plans to do a pilot in Huajing first to see how the market in the north is.
With my reminders, my mother in this life has not made any big mistakes so far. Everything is moving in a good direction.
"Welcome Mr. Chen to Wushang. Although we are a small place, we are very famous in the world. We have all kinds of goods you need."
"Yes, Mr. Chen, if any of your friends need to buy goods, please take care of our business."
"I didn't expect Mr. Chen, at such a young age, to have such a big business."
In the evening, in the best hotel in Wushang City, a group of bosses toasted Chen Xi.
The bosses present had all concluded a big deal, and they were generous in praising Chen Xi.
"Of course, of course. We have a lot of projects to do for the renovation of Xinlu! We will definitely need a lot of things by then." Chen Xi said politely, then got up and walked towards the toilet.
"Hello, I'll come tomorrow. Have you found a factory? I don't want imported ones. I want domestic ones, but the quality can't be too bad." After reminding Chenxu, he hung up the phone and started to release the water.
"Let me tell you, the man pursuing you is the eldest son of the Lu family. His family runs a cotton and food processing factory and is very rich."
"Is it true? Seeing how poor and poor he usually is, I don't believe it."
"You are from another place, how would you know? His family is very famous in Wushang. The Lu brothers, one makes cotton and the other makes socks. They are two heroes here."
When the two women's voices sounded, Chen Xi immediately thought of the girl that Lu Tengyang had mentioned before.
It can't be such a coincidence.
Wushang doesn't seem to be a big place, with a population of less than one million, even smaller than a district in Xinlu, so it's normal to meet this woman.
Thinking of this, Chen Xi silently turned on the recording on his mobile phone.
"Why haven't I heard of it? You're not lying to me."
"They are relatively low-key. Who among those doing business doesn't know the Lu family?"
"Then I have to get this guy Lu Tengyang, but I said before that I'm a virgin..."
"Isn't this easy to fix? Medical science is so advanced now, can't you just spend some money to repair the membrane? Are you still a virgin? You little slut, you sleep with a man every two days, it's ridiculous to me."
"Fuck you, it's clearly three days. Anyway, let's keep Lu Tengyang hanging and spend enough money on me first. Even if we don't get married, we won't suffer any loss."
"Let him buy you a car first, then a house. He said you need to feel safe. This amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for his family."
"Do I need you to teach me this? I'm afraid his family will retaliate against me."
"You're stupid. You told him to buy a house in Wulin, where the house prices are expensive. You said your parents live in a poor place and you should be filial to them." "You're smart. You're worthy of being the top star of Wushang Nightclub. Okay, let's go."
"You go back first, I need to touch up my makeup."
"Tattoo~"
As the sound of high heels rang out, one of the women who had spoken left.
"Hello, Mr. Wang! I'm Xiaoli. I've already done what you asked me to do. I'll be there soon..."
After waiting for a few minutes, when there was completely no sound outside, Chen Xi silently put away his phone.
"What took you so long? You have frequent urination!"
"Fuck you, I drank too much and threw up."
Back in the box, facing Lu Chengxian's teasing, Chen Xi made up an excuse.
The bosses present were very interested in opening a graphic arts store in Zhijiang Province, and some even wanted to buy his equipment.
You should know that the equipment produced by Chen Xi's family can be used in many industries.
For example, furniture factories, glasses production, cemetery tombstone carving, etc., covering a very wide range.
Naturally, he reciprocated the favor and took the initiative to give discounts to these bosses.
After the dinner, these people wanted to take him to a nightclub.
After rejecting their kindness and seeing those people off, Chen Xi took out his cell phone.
"Fuck, this Wang Kaizhi is such a bastard, he actually dared to use the honey trap."
"It turns out that this is all a scam, woo woo~"
After hearing the recording on the phone, Lu Chengxian was furious, while Lu Tengyang was heartbroken.
"What's going on?" Chen Xi became curious.
After a while, he almost understood the situation.
Lu Tengyang was arranged by his parents to work in a public institution. He was not the only special person in that office. Many others got in through connections.
Now there is a vacant position in the unit, and the leader intends to choose one of them. Wang Kaizhi is one of the candidates, and in order to prevent Lu Tengyang, the competitor, from being a candidate, he used a beauty trap.
Furthermore, Wang Kaizhi's family was also in the cotton business, and he also wanted to place a spy next to Lu Tengyang to help that woman get promoted and make money, and that woman would do things for him secretly, so that everyone could make money.
This matter sounds a bit mysterious, and Chen Xi can't interfere in their affairs. However, seeing that Lu Tengyang's expression turned into anger after being sad, Wang Kaizhi is probably in big trouble.
"Well, there are fish in water everywhere."
"Damn, women nowadays are too realistic. I'm going to pick up a sports car tomorrow."
"..."
After hearing Lu Tengyang's words, he knew that Master Lu's happy life was about to begin.
Yongcheng, as a sub-provincial city in Zhijiang Province, has a very good economy. It has a famous port in China and has good maritime trade.
Yongcheng Port is a multifunctional, comprehensive, modern deep-water port that integrates inland ports, estuary ports and seaports. It consists of Beilun Port Area, Zhenhai Port Area, Yongcheng Port Area, Daxie Port Area, Chuanshan Port Area and other parts. It is one of the second largest ports in China.
Many modern companies have set up factories here.
What we want to purchase this time are lighting materials. LED lights in this era are basically dependent on imports, but since there are many OEM factories of foreign companies in China, many factories secretly change the brand of some products and sell them at a low price.
In Ningbo, there are many LED OEM factories, and Chenxu quickly helped him screen out a batch of them.
It took more than two hours to drive from Wushang to Yongcheng. After breakfast in the morning, he said goodbye to the Lu brothers.
Lu Tengyang looked much more energetic. The recording last night seemed to have completely awakened him.
Beilun District of Ningbo City is home to many factories and OEM factories are everywhere. As it stands, there are more factories in Ningbo City than in Xinlu.
"Why are all the factory owners here so arrogant? In Wushang, I am worshipped like the God of Wealth." Walking out of a factory, Chen Xi looked back at the factory building at the back.
This is a foreign OEM factory, and the boss also has his own brand privately.
He seemed indifferent to Chen Xi's visit. When he heard that Chen Xi wanted to bargain, he showed no good expression and directly refused, as if he didn't care whether he wanted to buy or not.
Faced with this not very enthusiastic boss, he just turned around and left.
However, the second and third factories suffered the same fate.
"There's no way. There are many factories here, and the things you want are in great demand. If you don't buy them, there will be others who want them! There is a huge demand for LED lights in the country right now..." Chen Xu explained the situation in Yongcheng to him.
This is the second largest city in Zhijiang, and there are many bosses. His family in Yongcheng can only be said to be upper-middle class, and many bosses are not familiar with him, so business is naturally not as easy to negotiate as in Wushang City.
Thank you all for your monthly tickets and recommendation votes. I wish you all a happy new year!
