We will be responsible for the relevant procedures and special processing. We will share the profits equally..."

Zeng Xianzi was immediately shocked.

"Ning...Mr. Ning, don't be joking. Such expensive things can't be sold in Hong Kong. You want to sell them in the mainland? The living standards of the people in the mainland are too low, how can they afford it?"

Ning Weimin shook his head and smiled in recognition.

"Mr. Zeng, the economic level of the mainland is not high, and most people can't afford it. But as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Aren't there still a few people? Otherwise, why can our products sell so well?

Is it higher than the price in Hong Kong City? Of course, gold lighters are not clothes and ties after all, they are indeed much more expensive. But you should not forget that the biggest difference between the mainland and Hong Kong City is the closed information and economic growth. Nowadays,

There are more and more upstarts in China, and they are getting richer and richer. However, there are not so many foreign brands and high-end luxury goods in the market. Why don’t we work together. Even if only ten people in one city buy it

If you can afford it, how many cities in the mainland can you count? This is a good opportunity for us..."

Zeng Xianzi thought for a while, but was still not convinced.

"Mr. Ning, I admit that what you say makes sense. But the problem is that the market is not a simple arithmetic problem. You have to think about it. This kind of pure luxury product should not be eaten or worn. There is still a difference between a suit and tie. After all,

The latter is required for important occasions. I don't believe that mainland people just have a little money in their hands and don't think of ways to expand their business and make more money. Instead, they buy things that have no practical use to show off. Don't forget, I

I am also a half-mainlander. I grew up in Meizhou and experienced hardship. The first million I earned was to increase the equipment of the factory. I was not even willing to replace my watch..."

"Haha, Mr. Zeng, you are right from your own point of view. I believe most people think so, but having said that, there are also some blind spots in thinking. Have you ever thought about it, if some people do not open factories, but only make

What about the buying and selling business?”

Ning Weimin asked back, his smile did not fade, but became even brighter.

"Mr. Zeng, you should have some understanding of the current situation in the Mainland. The most profitable business is actually to obtain supplies through connections. Some of the people who get this job rely on their background, and some rely solely on their mouths.

But no matter what the situation is, they are taking advantage of the two-track system, and what they are buying and selling is a contract with a red seal. The most important thing for them is how to gain the trust of others as soon as possible. Therefore, in domestic shopping malls, they put on a show to show their economic strength.

, it’s not surprising to even make a bloated face and pretend to be fat. Many people wearing high-end suits don’t take off the cuff labels, just so that others can see the foreign labels. Treat guests to dinner, even if you are only half a month old.

Even if you want to drink steamed buns and drink cold water, you will also have to take people to a star-rated hotel. Maybe in order to discuss some business, the agreed meeting place is very close, but these people have to find someone to get a car. Do you think that in this kind of situation, these people have to

To show your identity and strength, is there any better prop than this golden lighter?"

This moment was truly enlightening, and Zeng Xianzi was immediately speechless.

He finally realized the crux of the problem - it turned out that being ostentatious was not without practical significance.

"It looks like this... Yes, you are right, I understand a little bit. For these people, buying luxury goods is actually buying production equipment, which can generate huge profits."

"Yes, although this phenomenon is not a good thing. But after all, it represents a certain degree of practicality and is a very real consumer market."

Ning Weimin added again, "What's more, from a production point of view, there are some objective conditions that are more favorable to us. For example, the gold price in the mainland is not completely synchronized with the international market, it lags behind, and the common people can only have access to gold.

There is no quotation for pure gold in terms of jewelry prices for labor costs. Currently, the mainland is 85 yuan per gram, which is about 28 U.S. dollars. Converted to one ounce, it is nearly 800 U.S. dollars, far exceeding the 300 U.S. dollars per ounce in the international market.

The price of gold. On the other hand, jewelry processing is very cheap. There are a large number of exquisite craftsmen in the special arts factories in Beijing. As far as I know, the labor cost of processing such a lighter gold shell is at most one hundred yuan. We can also do more

Give the company one hundred yuan..."

Now that it has come to this point, there is nothing Zeng Xianzi doesn’t understand.

"You mean, we import the movements and materials from the port city to the capital, and then process them here?"

"Yes, even if customs taxes are excluded, the cost can be reduced by at least double, and the selling price can be doubled on the contrary. It doesn't matter if you go back to the port city to sell it. After all, lighters are small and the logistics cost is not high. One

People take it with them and go out. The cost of 15,000 Hong Kong dollars is reduced by 3,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the profit margin is also large..."

Zeng Xianzi couldn't help but marvel. "That's right, that's a thought-provoking insight."

But then he couldn't help but gasped, "It's good...it's...this...is the price too high? Do you want to sell this lighter for $8,000? Is there really someone...

Buy?"

Ning Weimin did not answer directly this time, but took a pen and paper and pondered silently for a while.

Then he made an offer that Zeng Xianzi could not refuse.

"Mr. Zeng, you are talking nonsense. You won't believe me when I say this. Otherwise, wouldn't it be difficult to sell these gold lighters in Hong Kong City? It doesn't matter, for 9,000 yuan each, you can get them all

Sell ​​it to me. I will engrave it with Pierre Cardon's trademark and sell it in our specialty store at a price of 19,999 yuan. If the market feedback is not good, we will give up and treat it as if it is not available today.

We have talked about cooperation. If the market feedback is good, we will develop gold lighters together..."

Zeng Xianzi used the official exchange rate of 100 Hong Kong dollars to calculate the 35 foreign exchange coupons, and knew that it was a good deal for him.

Because Ning Weimin promised him 9,000 yuan for a lighter, which was nearly 26,000 Hong Kong dollars.

After the deal was completed, he not only got the money back quickly, but also made a lot of money. Each lighter made a profit of 11,000 Hong Kong dollars.

However, he was a little worried about Ning Weimin, fearing that Ning Weimin's ideas were too beautiful and it would be difficult to get what he wanted.

So although he agreed, he kept trying to persuade Ning Weimin.

"Mr. Ning, what you do is really embarrassing. However, I think you still need to be conservative and not set the price too high. Twelve thousand yuan is enough. I'm really afraid that you will make the same mistake as me. In the end

I can only keep these goods in my hands. Well, at worst, I will give you the goods for 8,000 yuan and give you a profit of 1,000 yuan, so that you will not have difficulty in the company."

Ning Weimin was really dumbfounded by Zeng Xianzi's behavior.

To be honest, his calculation of this account is completely different from Zeng Xianzi's.

Because in terms of exchange rate, he did not calculate it based on the official exchange rate of one hundred Hong Kong dollars to thirty-five foreign exchange bonds, but the black market exchange rate of one hundred Hong Kong dollars to sixty-seven yuan.

So in his mind, the gold lighter that sold for 28,888 yuan in this port city was originally worth 19,000 yuan.

Even the raw materials cost RMB 12,000 according to mainland market prices, but what about the processing fees and brand added value? Don’t they count?

When it comes to things, there is not even a profit margin of more than 50%. It is really the most honest and least deceptive deal made by Pierre Cardon.

To put it bluntly, the source of his profit is actually from cutting Zeng Xianzi in the waist. The purchase price is low enough, and the selling price is really not bad.

But the problem is, he doesn't understand, how can this person be so grateful to him even though he has suffered a big loss?

After thinking about it for a while, he finally figured it out. In the final analysis, he still got the benefit of the dual-track exchange rate system.

It's really embarrassing to think that this good man is being treated like such a good person, it's so unreasonable.

He could only find another reason and said it half-jokingly.

"Mr. Zeng, don't worry about me. I'm not afraid of selling goods at all. You know, the value of gold may still appreciate. I have nothing to explain to the company. Do you believe it? Even if, like you said, I have to put a ten

In twenty years, I will definitely be able to sell these lighters at a price of ten thousand US dollars each. Okay, just sell them to me. Unless you are greedy for profit, listen to me and tell you how good the mainland market is.

, I want to eat alone again, I regret it..."

What else can Zeng Xianzi say?

I can only shake hands with emotion, accept Ning Weimin's kindness, and look for opportunities to repay him in the future.

However, he also determined in his heart that Ning Weimin was a true friend he could make, and he always took the initiative to help him solve problems.

Therefore, in the days that followed, he not only cherished his personal relationship with Ning Weimin, but also strictly abided by the terms of cooperation between the two parties.

He has always told others that Ning Weimin is a moral model for mainland businessmen.

There are too few such talented and moral people in the shopping mall, and they are definitely an endangered species.

But if anyone is lucky enough to work with such a person, he will get twice the result with half the effort, and there will be nothing to worry about.
