When will I have a long tassel?
Chapter 199 Look at you, you look like you’ve never seen money
Tang Zifeng boasted in front of various machine tool companies, saying that the sales of Canglong machine tools could reach 20,000 units. But so far, the only overseas salesperson he has is Bao Nana. Of course, Bao Nana developed an assistant like Liang Zile, which Tang Zifeng didn't know. During this period, Bao Nana and Liang Zile took up the task of promoting the trial sales of Canglong Machine Tools in the United States. They were both tired and happy.
After Linyi Machinery built a machine tool prototype, Tang Zifeng sent five machines to Bao Nana and asked her to help find sales in the United States. In Tang Zifeng's opinion, Bao Nana was just exploring the market for him to see if there was a market. If the market situation is good, Tang Zifeng will consider sending specialized sales personnel from China to the United States to carry out comprehensive sales. If the market response is very cold, then Tang Zifeng will need to re-evaluate the product to see what is the reason why it is not popular.
According to Tang Zifeng's impression, this kind of machine tool should be more popular in the West in later generations. He has seen reports on Western families using this kind of machine tool in newspapers and magazines more than once, and these different reports do not reflect the same situation. A family thing. In China, this kind of machine tool has already had a certain sales volume, especially among military fans and industrial party circles. Owning such a machine tool is something that can last for a year and a half.
China's domestic demand can only wait for more than ten to twenty years. After all, Chinese people in the 1990s were still very poor, and few people could spend thousands of yuan to buy such a toy. However, the economic development level of Western countries at this time is not much different from that of 20 years later. Products that will be popular 20 years from now should also have a market in this era. This is Tang Zifeng's judgment.
After receiving the machine tools sent from China, Bao Nana asked Liang Zile to take apart one and try it out. Liang Zile is also a liberal arts student, but as a boy, he has a somewhat mechanical sense. He bought a bunch of audio and video materials about hand-making in the video store and studied them for several days, and finally figured out the essentials of turning, milling, drilling and other operations. He assembled the machine tool according to the instructions and did some cutting operations. The more he used it, the more amazing the machine tool became. He believes that Americans with a background in machine processing will have a strong interest in such machine tools.
Bao Nana doesn't know how to operate the machine tool herself. She observes the appearance of the machine tool from a female perspective. Tang Zifeng also took this issue into consideration when he arranged for Canglong Research Institute to design this machine tool. He specifically asked Li Kejia to hire a student from the Academy of Arts and Crafts to design the appearance of the machine tool, including lines, colors and some small logos. distribution and so on.
After being beautified in this way, every detail of the machine tool reveals the beauty of the post-industrial era, which makes this machine tool not only able to impress the heart of the male owner of the family, but also make the female owner willing to pay for it.
After confirming that Canglong Machine Tool was a good product with a market, Bao Nana and Liang Zile began the process of promoting it. The two rented a commercial vehicle, put the machine tools assembled into tool boxes in the vehicle, and visited local furniture and home appliance retailers in Philadelphia one by one.
Everywhere he went, Liang Zile had to laboriously open the tool box, assemble the machine tools, and demonstrate the functions of the machine tools to the merchants. Bao Nana is responsible for deceiving others, making people think that not purchasing this kind of machine tool is simply being careless and blind, and will miss the last opportunity to make a fortune this century.
Everyone likes good things. This unique design of Canglong Machine Tool is indeed difficult to attract attention. Wherever Bao and Liang went, there was a burst of exclamations of "goose sister Zhiying". When they heard that the price of this magical machine tool was only US$800 and US$1,500, merchants immediately smelled the strong smell of US dollars and expressed interest in selling this product, especially at this time when Christmas is approaching. .
"Breckenridge Furniture Company, 200 units."
"Gantz Brothers, 120 units.
"Oberbeck Family Experience Chain Store, 180 units."
"..."
After a hard day's work, Bao Nana returned to the temporarily rented office and sat down on the sofa, happily counting the day's sales results.
"Zi Le, today we sold 720 units. We will make a fortune!"
After calculating the total, Bao Nana shouted to Liang Zile.
Liang Zile came to Bao Nana, looked at Bao Nana's statistical results, and said with a smile: "It's really good. We sold 720 sets in one day. According to the average commission of 25 US dollars per set, we made a profit today." ...$18,000!”
"Tch, look at you, you look like you've never seen money." Bao Nana commented disdainfully, then sniffed again and asked, "What does it smell like? What kind of medicine did you put on your body?"
"Turpentine." Liang Zile replied.
"What are you doing wiping turpentine for?" Bao Nana then raised her head and found that Liang Zile had taken off his coat and was wearing only a T-shirt. He was rubbing a ball of cotton ball vigorously on his arm. The smell of turpentine was Emitted from the cotton ball.
"What, are you injured?" Bao Nana asked.
"No, it's just that my arms are a little sore. These machine tools have to be dismantled and reassembled, and you have to work very hard." Liang Zile explained, "I didn't feel it when I was outside, but on the way back, my arms are sore. I can't even hold the steering wheel, and my back..."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Bao Nana scolded. She looked at Liang Zile's grinning expression and scolded him disdainfully: "It's really useless! Come on, give me the turpentine."
"Here you go? Why do you want turpentine?" Liang Zile didn't react for a moment.
"Didn't you say your back is sore? Take off your clothes and I'll wipe it for you." Bao Nana ordered domineeringly.
"This..." Liang Zile looked nervous, not knowing whether to accept Bao Nana's kindness.
Seeing that he didn't move, Bao Nana said angrily: "Are you going to take it off?"
At this voice, Liang Zile immediately knelt down and said repeatedly: "I'll take it off, I'll take it off!"
"Lie down on the sofa!" Bao Nana ordered.
Liang Zile took off his T-shirt and lay on the sofa shirtless. Bao Nana squatted down, dipped a cotton ball in turpentine, and began to rub Liang Zile's back.
"Hehe, hehe..." Liang Zile lay on the sofa, twisting constantly and making strange sounds from his mouth.
"What are you calling for!"
"itch!"
"No shouting!"
"Yes, don't scream, don't scream, hehe, hehe... it's really itchy!"
"Don't scream if it's itchy. If you scream again, I'll beat you!"
"Uh huh huh huh..."
After finally wiping the turpentine, Liang Zile sat up and put on his clothes again. His face was flushed, whether from shyness or excitement, and his eyes began to dodge when he looked at Bao Nana.
"Look at your potential!" Bao Nana glared at Liang Zile fiercely, and suddenly there was some heat on her face. For young people in this era, it is normal for boys and girls to have some physical contact with each other, but at that moment, Bao Nana felt something strange...
"Nana, I think our progress is still not good enough." Liang Zile changed the topic.
"Why can't it work?" Bao Nana sat down at the desk and asked lazily.
Liang Zile said: "The task assigned to us by Senior Brother Tang is to sell 20,000 units before Christmas. At the current pace, it may be difficult for us to sell that many. We have basically visited all the local businesses in Philadelphia. , If it doesn’t work out, should we consider going to New York?”
"He said 20,000 units, do you really think you can sell 20,000 units?" Bao Nana said, "My senior brother is good at bragging. Don't be influenced by him."
Liang Zile said seriously: "Nana, I think the goal set by Senior Brother Tang should be achievable. Think about it, in Philadelphia alone, we have sold more than two thousand units. The United States With such a big market, there must be more than just a little bit of the market. Especially in the Midwest and Texas, there are a lot of independent family farms. Our machine tools are very suitable for them, and the demand may be much greater than here in Pennsylvania. That’s a lot.”
"You don't want to go to Texas to sell, do you?" Bao Nana asked in shock. It has been a year since she arrived in the United States, but she has never been to the Midwest, let alone a place like Texas. In her mind, Texas must be a very far away place, right? It’s very close to Africa?
"Of course not." Liang Zile said, "My idea is, should we change this door-to-door sales method, for example, do some advertising. The most important feature of our product is a concept, and the effect is It should be good.”
Bao Nana asked: "How much does it cost to advertise? Do you know? We don't make much money in total. If we do advertising, we will lose it all."
Liang Zile said: "That's not the case. I studied management and I still understand the basic principles of advertising. Let's plan carefully and try to spend less and do more. If the advertising effect is good, we can just sit at home and answer the phone. No need to drive out like this every day."
"Why, you've only been running for a few days and you're already bored?"
"That's not true."
"No, you are just lazy. How could I meet such a lazy person like you?"
"...Okay, I'm lazy. But besides being lazy, I have another consideration, that is, the time limit given to us by Senior Brother Tang is running out. With the way we are doing now, I'm worried that we won't be able to sell so much and it will be wasted. Such a great opportunity at Christmas.”
Bao Nana fell silent. Of course she was not a brainless quarrel. The argument she had with Liang Zile just now was just routine flirting. When it came time to talk about business, she was still serious enough.
"The cost of advertising is too high, and the effect may not be good." After thinking for a while, Bao Nana said.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Liang Zile asked.
Bao Nana said: "I think of what my senior brother did, using soft articles to promote sales without any cost. Didn't you say that this kind of machine tool is mainly to promote a concept? Then let's use this concept to make an article. If you don't believe in the United States, Help the bastard media not to fall for it.”
