Chapter 589 The First Batch of Products

After the party, Lu Yiming returned to the hotel.

Li Yiwen joked: "I thought you wouldn't come back tonight. By the way, that beautiful blonde girl seems to be very interested in you? The number one beauty in Silicon Valley, can you bear it?"

Lu Yi understood him with a glance, and said angrily: "Rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests, let alone you think Marisa Mayer is the kind of little girl with a love brain?"

Li Yiwen asked curiously: "Oh? How do you say that?"

In his opinion, Marisa Mayer was quite active, and it seemed that as long as Lu Yiming nodded, he could easily win.

However, how did he know how powerful Marisa Mayer is. This optimistic and cheerful blonde beauty will become the vice president of Google in the future, and then become the top strong woman of Yahoo CEO.

Lu Yiming said: "In the male-dominated American business world, can you climb to such a height and achieve such remarkable achievements? Can it be a good match? If you really fall into the gentle village, then you don't know who will play it." who."

Lu Yiming is very self-aware about this, knowing what can be touched and what can be touched is like playing with fire.

"Okay, pack up your things, and set off tomorrow morning, first go and settle the matter with Epstein, and then we'll head back home."

Li Yiwen was extremely surprised: "Go back in just a few days?"

Lu Yiming said: "Epstein called me this afternoon and said that he has already settled the matter. Tomorrow we only need to discuss the details, and then we can start to arrange the shipment."

Li Yiwen sighed: "So fast? This guy has a lot of energy."

Lu Yiming said with a smile: "When it comes to making money, everyone has the most energy. There is nothing else in this world, it just depends on who has the most money. Whoever has the money talks is fine, whether it is as big as a country or as small as a family. With money you have everything, without money you have nothing.”

The next morning, after breakfast, Lu Yiming and Li Yiwen planned to leave.Sergey Brin and Larry Page came running to see them off.

Sergey Brin said to Lu Yiming regretfully: "Mayer is rarely so active. You really missed a great opportunity to sleep with her last night."

Lu Yiming quickly defended himself and said: "Hey, don't say that, I have a girlfriend, if she finds out, I will be in trouble."

This made everyone laugh tacitly.Larry Page said: "Okay, since that's the case, then we won't waste your time. But you have to remember that you are the chief strategy officer of Google. If you come to the United States, you still have to come and sit for a while." Sit down, otherwise, won't the salary be hot for you?"

Lu Yiming laughed loudly and said, "Next time."

The next day, the plane landed at Baiyun Airport.

Lu Yiming stretched his waist, got off the plane, breathed the air in the country, and felt a lot more relaxed - it's not that the air in the country is sweeter, but compared with the industrial development of Guangdong Province these years, the air quality is indeed not very good - But the domestic atmosphere is relaxed. When staying in the United States, Lu Yiming is always a little worried, fearing that one day the CIA and FBI will come to check the water meter.

Many of the things he did were digging into the walls of America.If this is exposed, with the unreasonable behavior of the American government, they can't find a reason to lock him up forever?
After restarting the phone, Lu Yiming immediately called Li Dongsheng, and said cheerfully, "Mr. Li, everything has been settled for you. When can you deliver the goods?"

In Huizhou, Li Dongsheng, who was having a regular meeting in the conference room, became numb after receiving a call from Lu Yiming.

It's only been a few days, and I'm not ready at all, so Lu Yiming solved the channel problem?
Do you want to be so fast!

Li Dongsheng said without hesitation: "President Lu, don't worry, we can deliver the goods at any time."

After hanging up the phone, Li Dongsheng found that everyone in the conference room was focusing on him.

Vice President Ni Dongjun asked: "Mr. Li, did you just say deliveries? What kind of goods are you delivering, and where are you sending them to?"

"That's right, Mr. Li, do we still have places where we can ship?"

Others also wanted to know the answer. After all, the ace at this time was having a hard time. Basically, he was holding meetings every day to discuss solutions to the problem of TV inventory backlog.

Faced with the eyes of everyone wanting to find out, Li Dongsheng knew that the matter could not be kept secret, so he had no choice but to cut straight to the point and say: I plan to export our TV sets to Mexico, do you have any thoughts on this proposal?
Everyone was dumbfounded, what the hell is it to sell to the Mo country?

Even many of the executives here don’t even know where Mexico is on the world map. They thought that Li Dongsheng was going to sell products to Africa, and then one executive couldn’t help asking: “Mr. Li, are you sure that Africans have money? Buy our TV?"

Li Dongsheng heard his blood pressure soar: "The country of Mexico is in North America! Didn't you learn geography in junior high school?"

Although many people don't know Mexico, everyone knows America.America is in North America, and it is the richest and most powerful country in the world!

An executive said excitedly: "The country of Mexico is originally in North America! If it is next to the United States, it must be a developed country. You can sell our TVs to developed countries. Mr. Li, you are really awesome."

In fact, purely from the perspective of GDP, the per capita GDP of Mexico at this time is almost eight times that of Xia, so it is not wrong to say "rich". .

But in the country of Mexico in North America, it is too far from heaven and too close to America.The law and order in the country is extremely poor, and the government's control is not as good as the local gang forces. The local people, not to mention living in dire straits, are at least one hundred and eight thousand miles away from living and working in peace.

Ni Dongjun has been to the United States to study abroad, and has a certain understanding of the surrounding environment of the United States.Hearing that Li Dongsheng said that he would sell the TV set to the Mexican country, he was a little worried, and said, "As far as I know, the security situation in the Mexican country is worrying. Mr. Li, are you sure that our products can enter the local market? After the product is sold, how can you guarantee that we can recover the payment smoothly?"

There are nearly thirteen guns per [-] people in Mexico, and the overall armed forces of gang forces even exceed the army of Mexico.

In such a country, the law is like waste paper, how to protect the legal rights of the company has become the biggest issue that must be considered.

After all, the company can't send troops to Mexico to protect its interests, can it?
The company doesn't have that stuff either.

Hearing that the law and order in Mexico is not good, all the executives present were worried.

However, only Li Dongsheng was very calm. After all, he was clear in his heart. Their TV sets were not intended to be circulated in the Mexican market in a serious way.

According to the news reported by Lu Yiming, the local gang forces are the biggest buyers.

Of course, this kind of thing cannot be said outside, even inside the company, it must be kept secret, after all, this kind of fact is a bit disgraceful.

If it weren't for the ability to earn foreign exchange and solve the problem of TV inventory backlog and solve the company's urgent needs, Li Dongsheng really didn't want to use this method to sell products.

Facing the doubts from the crowd, Li Dongsheng didn't explain too much. On the contrary, his attitude was very tough, and he directly said against the crowd: "Unless you can come up with better suggestions and methods, otherwise the matter will be settled like this."

Ni Dongjun opened his mouth to speak, but then he chose to shut up temporarily, because he couldn't see what Li Dongsheng wanted to do, so he planned to wait and see for a while.

After the meeting, Yang Xiaopeng approached Li Dongsheng and said, "This matter is not a small risk, you should pay attention."

The company is not monolithic. If Li Dongsheng wants to secure his position as chairman, he must not make mistakes. Otherwise, if he is caught, it will be troublesome.

Li Dongsheng sighed and said: "Of course I know that this matter is very risky, but the company has to develop, and there are not many choices left for us."

In the end, Li Dongsheng made the decision himself and asked the company to ship directly.

In order for this plan to go smoothly, and also to go to the local market to investigate, Li Dongsheng handed over this burden to Yang Xiaopeng.

Soon, [-] color TV sets that were unsalable in China went through formal channels from the customs, boarded a freighter in Pengcheng, and began their journey across the ocean.

More than 20 days later, the freighter landed at the port of Mossanillo in Mexico without any danger.

Yang Xiaopeng, who was traveling with the boat, stared blankly at the exotic scenery in front of him.

The Port of Manzanillo is located on the southwestern coast of Colima, Mexico, and is the largest port on the Pacific coast of Mexico.Not only that, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it is also a famous seaside tourist city in Mexico.

Standing on the edge of the port, Yang Xiaopeng found a high platform and climbed up to look far away. He found that there are many nearby bays with gentle and clear water. Not only is the sun shining, but there are also fine and soft sandy beaches. The surrounding hotels and other tourist service facilities are complete. A good place for sightseeing.

It's a pity that Yang Xiaopeng is not here for vacation, so he doesn't intend to browse the beautiful scenery here, and he is only thinking about how to open up product sales.

Soon, several men in sunglasses wearing camouflage and carrying AK caught Yang Xiaopeng's attention.

Similarly, Yang Xiaopeng also attracted the attention of these men in sunglasses.

They walked straight over here.

Yang Xiaopeng, who was not familiar with the place where he was born, suddenly panicked. After all, judging from the way they were dressed, these people were obviously not good at anything.

Not to mention carrying a gun.

Regarding this kind of lethal weapon, Yang Xiaopeng, who is a native of Xia, instinctively felt that he was not at ease.

Before he came, he had heard that the gang members here like to kidnap hostages for ransom.In the entire country of Mexico, there are 270 kidnapping incidents every year, with an average of [-] and [-] kidnappings per day!
Looking at the scene in front of him, Yang Xiaopeng deeply felt that the motherland is better.

At this moment, Yang Xiaopeng stood on the deck and watched these people walk onto the boat.

After all, this is the country of Mo, and people still carry guns, and the big ship can't turn around at any time, so it's impossible to run away.

Yang Xiaopeng thought wildly in his mind, thinking that these people were pirates who hijacked the ship for a while, and thinking that they might be the government's army for a while.

Until the leader of the team came to the deck, stood ten meters in front of Yang Xiaopeng, and asked in English, "Are you from Xia Guo? We were sent by Mr. Epstein to connect with you."

Hearing what this person said, Yang Xiaopeng breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that this foreign culture is really different, but he quickly took out his work ID and responded in English: "Yes, this is my ID. "

After checking each other's identities, Yang Xiaopeng looked at the AK on the other's back again, feeling a little more secure in his heart.

After all, here, powerful gang members are more reliable than the government.

After talking, Yang Xiaopeng learned that the other party's name was Eric Guzman, and he was born in Chiapas, the poorest state in Mexico. The only thing that is rich there is all kinds of guerrillas.

After chatting with Eric for a few words, Yang Xiaopeng has a good idea of ​​the general situation of Mexico, at least he knows that this country is definitely not a normal country.

Yang Xiaopeng, who was born in the Kingdom of Xia, received formal education since he was a child, and is familiar with the history of the Kingdom of Xia, found it hard to imagine that there would be such a wonderful country as the Mo Kingdom on the other side of the ocean.

Mexico's national armed force only has 20 people, and it also includes a large number of civilian personnel.

And how many "string control people" are there in the local gang forces?

A full 100 people!
It can be seen how disparate the strength of the two sides is, and not only the difference in numbers, but even the weapons and equipment, the official of the Mexican country is absolutely at the bottom.

This is also thanks to the great lack of virtue in the United States. The gang forces in Mexico have made a lot of money by selling some local "native products". kind of munitions.

From small pistols and rifles to large aircraft artillery, they have everything.

At this time, Xia Guo had banned guns for several years, so when Yang Xiaopeng saw people carrying guns all over the streets of Mo country, his mood was very complicated.

If you don't go abroad, you don't know how good the motherland is.

He felt that if he was born in such a ghost place as the Mo country, he would be a bloody bad luck for eight lifetimes.

Soon, Yang Xiaopeng was taken to the headquarters by Eric, and he saw a middle-aged man wearing a jacket. He was different from what he had imagined. A cold-blooded butcher with hands full of blood.

After revealing their identities to each other, the other party was still enthusiastic about Yang Xiaopeng, but he seemed to lack interest in business matters.They have their own long-term main business, and selling TVs is obviously not one of them.They only came to do this transfer because of the order from above.

After the conversation, the other party promised to sell this batch of goods to the United States as soon as possible, so that Yang Xiaopeng could rest assured.Moreover, after talking about the business, he also took the initiative to invite Yang Xiaopeng to dinner.This made Yang Xiaopeng a little flattered.

In the evening, staying in the pre-arranged hotel, Yang Xiaopeng called Li Dongsheng excitedly: "Mr. Li, the matter has been settled, and it went surprisingly well."

On the other side, Lu Yiming also received a call from Epstein.

Epstein was a little excited and said: "The goods have arrived, and I hope the plan will go well."

The company’s offer to Epstein was $[-] per unit, and Epstein planned to sell each unit at an additional price of $[-].

Of course, not all of the two hundred dollars went into his pocket, and part of it was going to be distributed to the distributors in Mexico.In his hands, it was only one hundred and thirty forty dollars at most.

For a rich man like Epstein, this amount of money is not enough to buy a glass of wine.

But after all, it was a matter of just a few phone calls, and the volume was large, so he certainly had no reason to dislike it.

Lu Yiming said: "Of course it went smoothly. The first batch of goods is only [-] units. If the sales volume is good, we can add more later."

Because it is a credit model, Epstein has no pressure at all, not to mention that the TV is sold so cheaply, he does not believe that it cannot be sold.

On this point, Lu Yiming was equally confident.

Xia Guo will soon become the world's factory, and its products are sold all over the world. Who can refuse Xia Guo's manufacturing?

In the not-too-distant future, in the United States, it will be very difficult for ordinary people to drink a cup of coffee without the manufacturing of Xiaguo, because except for coffee beans, almost all other products come from Xiaguo.

San Diego, known to outsiders as "San Diego", is a city on the Pacific coast of California, USA. It is located in the extreme southwest corner of the continental United States. It is the capital of San Diego County and the San Diego-Carlsbad-San Marcos metropolitan area. economic center.The city is famous for its warm climate, beautiful coastline and numerous sandy beaches. The world's top university, University of California, San Diego, is also located here.

The only bad thing is that it is located on the US-Mexico border, and some Mexican local "agricultural products" are often sold to San Diego after deep processing.

However, in the United States, it is not a big deal to eat Mexican local specialties in his spare time. Compared with these, what makes Christabel Hess feel more headache is this month's bill.

Christabel Hayes is an ordinary American housewife. In addition to doing housework, she has to strictly calculate the monthly family expenses because she is pregnant.

A family member is about to be added, which means a lot of extra expenses in the future.

Santiago's expenses are not low, and only her husband has a job in the family, and the income is barely enough to support the daily life of the two, which seems a bit stretched.

While Christabel Hayes was scribbling in the ledger, her husband Brewer Markham returned from get off work.

"Honey, I'm back."

As a newlywed husband, he really didn't see Christabel Hess every day. After entering the door, he walked towards Christabel Hess, knelt in front of Christabel Hess, and put Putting his ear on Christabel Hess' stomach, he said, "Let me listen to the child's heartbeat."

Christabel Hess smiled sweetly, gently pushed his head away, and said, "It's only been a month, how could I hear a heartbeat."

"One month..."

Brewer Markham scratched his head and asked, "Then can we..."
