Walking into Liu Jian's office, Saburo Kojima saluted Liu Jian with a standard Japanese salute.Then he said in broken English: "Mr. Liu, I want to buy some goods from your company, but it's not toys, but "California Sunshine, Audrey Hepburn Photobook". I need this photobook, I know, you There is a way to get the goods."

Liu Jian listened with half understanding, and asked the other party to sit down.For Kojima Saburo's visit, he didn't feel much strange, but he didn't expect him to come so soon.Tan Jiabao told him some ways to enter the Japanese market that day.So, no matter what, he greeted Kojima Saburo politely.

Due to his poor English foundation, although Liu Jian has insisted on studying English for two hours a day, he still made slow progress due to his clumsy language talent, so he did not understand the other party's intentions.

Kojima Saburo's English is not much better, he uses broken English, mixed with Japanese, and even draws pictures to explain his purpose.And Liu Jian also started to talk to him in blunt English mixed with Mandarin.But after talking for a long time, the two of them were in a cloud of fog and didn't know why.

Since it happened to be Sunday, Liu Jian's two secretaries were on vacation, and the other clerks were not at work.The two of them were blushing like this, not knowing what the other was talking about.

Fortunately, Huang Zixiang came in with a toy designer named Meng Xianming at this time, and they showed several "Audrey Hepburn dolls" that had just been made in their hands to show their president.

"President, take a closer look and see if there is anything that needs to be revised?" Huang Zixiang said to Liu Jian.

Since Tangchao Group Company took over the toy company, the toy designer team of Tangchao Toy Company has expanded to more than 90, and Huang Zixiang, as the chief designer, has never had a vacation since then.

"This is a doll made according to Ms. Audrey Hepburn's current height of 174cm, reduced by 3 times and 4 times. We use two kinds of materials to make this kind of doll. The higher-end one is made of colored ceramics. This kind of mass The consumer ones are made of special plastic. As for the new material called silkstone provided by Mr. Tang Xiao, we are still developing it. The hair of these dolls is all made of real human hair. What we are doing now is Audrey Hepburn's image of Princess Anne in "Roman Holiday"." Huang Zixiang said.

Saburo Kojima's eyes were wide open, he couldn't help picking up a doll and looked at it carefully, and then shouted: "I want to place an order! Haha, this kind of doll must sell better than Barbie dolls!"

In fact, the very first Barbie dolls were made in Japan.Therefore, Kojima Saburo, who is a toy family, of course knows the goods, and he can see the value of this toy at a glance.

Meng Xianming smiled and said to Saburo Kojima in Japanese: "Oh, sir, this is our sample. It is still relatively rough. After it is formed into a product, this kind of doll will be more refined. Oh, it seems that sir is an expert , can you give us some comments and suggestions?"

Saburo Kojima looked at the doll back and forth for a while, and then said: "Obviously, you are made according to the standard proportions of Audrey Hepburn's image. I suggest using the fashion painting method and slightly lengthening the legs 1- 2 centimeters, would the visual effect be better? For example, this model is 58 centimeters tall, adding 2 centimeters to the legs, I think the effect will be better."

Meng Xianming suddenly realized that, as the chief designer of this "Audrey Hepburn Doll", he attached great importance to Saburo Kojima's proposal. He picked up a doll, made gestures, nodded and said, "Good proposal! Thank you you."

"Very good! It is worthy of being an excellent designer from a large Japanese toy company! Mr. Meng, according to this Japanese gentleman's suggestion, make a few more to see if the visual effect is better. Then, we will produce it immediately! Liu Jian took out several Barbie dolls from the drawer, compared them, and said, "Try to make them as delicate as possible, preferably even more delicate than Barbie dolls. I think the costumes seem to be rough, so that's not okay. Ooh The costumes of Delly Hepburn dolls must be more novel and exquisite than the costumes of Barbie dolls, and must not be sloppy. Our company has a slogan called "details determine success or failure". In our toy industry, the management of such details must not Relax!"

Huang Zixiang and Meng Xianming both nodded in agreement.Since Meng Xianming could speak Japanese well, Liu Jian temporarily left him to act as an interpreter, while Huang Zixiang left the office with the doll.

With Meng Xianming as the interpreter, the conversation between Liu Jian and Saburo Kojima became much easier.

"I want to enter some "California Sunshine, Audrey Hepburn Photo Album", and I want to sell them in Japan." Saburo Kojima reiterated his reason for coming for the 100th time.

Liu Jian finally understood, he said: "Oh, we are making toys, we are not responsible for sales of photobooks. But I know that this set of "California Sunshine, Audrey Hepburn Photobook" has a total of 1380 million sets have been sold, all are sold out now, and our company no longer plans to reprint. Mr. Tang Xiao said that it is more interesting to leave a little 'aftertaste', just like eating eight full, it is much healthier than eating full .”

Saburo Kojima said aggrievedly: "1380 million sets have been sold worldwide, but we have not sold one set in Japan. You know, our population in Japan has exceeded [-] million at the beginning of this year, but the Japanese people like a photobook. No sales either. I know why, so I'm here to discuss with Mr. Liu how to solve this problem."

Liu Jian scratched his head and said, "But I'm not in charge of the photobook."

After hearing this, Saburo Kojima felt that Liu Jian did not intend to refuse, so he continued: "I know that Mr. Liu has a superlative status in the Tang Dynasty Group Company, and Mr. Fan Nu from the Tang Dynasty Entertainment Company is also your good friend. And I I only know you as a big man in Hong Kong, so I can only ask you to help me."

Liu Jian also felt that Kojima Saburo's flattery was very useful.He frowned and said, "It's not impossible for me to persuade Lao Fan to print more, but our company and the Japanese government..."

"I know! So I came up with a good idea. That is, in the second printing, you removed the logo of your Tang Dynasty Group Company and replaced it with another company. You can declare to the public that you have sold the copyright to In this way, we can confidently sell this photo book in Japan. Oh, yes, your toys can also use this method, this 'Audrey Hepburn doll' I want I want it!" Kojima Saburo said the way he thought hard.

Liu Jian nodded and said: "This is indeed a good idea. However, I want to persuade Mr. Tang Xiao. Because he is very indignant at the behavior of the Japanese government, he has already ordered to stop exporting any goods to Japan. For Tang Dynasty Group Corporation For a small Japanese market, we don’t care much about it.”

"Ah, 'a small Japanese market'? The Japanese market is not small!" Saburo Kojima gasped. He felt that the Chinese didn't know much about Japan.So he said excitedly: "Although our Japanese area is small, our purchasing power is not much worse than that of the whole of Europe. I dare say that the sales volume of this kind of photobook and this kind of doll in Japan will definitely be greater than that of Europe, and even surpass that of the United States!" "

"Really?" Liu Jian said dubiously: "We can reprint the photobook immediately, but if the quantity is too small, I don't bother to talk to Mr. Tang Xiao and Lao Fan. As for the 'Audrey Hepburn doll' ’, we can only satisfy the European and American markets first, so the first batch of goods can only be sent to Europe and the United States.”

Saburo Kojima was silent for a while, thinking in his mind that he already had four stores in Japan, and with a batch of new customers emerging from 'underground sales', his sales ability was still considerable.So he said: "I can sign 500 million copies of "California Sunshine, Audrey Hepburn Photo Album" with you. But in Japan, you can only sell it to my family. Also, 500 million copies need a certain amount of funds, so I asked to break it up into parts, that is, to take the money and pick up the goods in installments."

Liu Jian stood up and said, "I'll make a call, and I'll answer you later!"

Of course Liu Jian went to report to Tan Jiabao.For sales in Japan, Tan Jiabao already had a plan, so he immediately told Liu Jian his method.
