Dressed As the Apex of the Villain

Zhou Xinqun was both excited and nervous. It was the first time she did business with a foreigner.

"Xiao Nan, how much is suitable for this report? Will foreigners be unhappy if they are taller?"

Zhou Xinqun forgot Tang Xiaonan's age and discussed her as an adult.

Tang Xiaonan sighed in his heart. What Zhou Xinqun is worried about now is not whether the business will be successful, but whether Johnny and the others will be angry, and their mentality is really humble.

This is not to blame for Zhou Xinqun. Nowadays, many compatriots in China basically have such a mentality. There is a natural 'slavery' towards foreigners. They always feel that foreign countries are good everywhere, and foreigners are superior.

[It’s not that the author belittles the compatriots. In the 1980s and 1990s, there was indeed servility towards foreigners in China, and foreigners had many privileges in the country. Many foreign garbage people became high-class people when they arrived in China. It’s really sad.]

Not to mention now, in the 1990s, there were still many compatriots who had this idea. Any foreigner would be superior to others in China, even a black man who was so poor.

Tang Xiaonan analyzed it and felt that there were two reasons. One was the hospitality tradition passed down by Chinese people for thousands of years. They would warmly entertain guests who came from afar. Foreigners are VIPs in China.

The second reason is that Huaxia is really too poor now, and it is not in line with international standards. Many compatriots think that foreigners are rich. Foreigners eat beef and milk every day, and there is gold on the ground.

But I don't know that even in the United States, there are many poor people who can't afford to eat, and not all of them are rich.

It is precisely because of this kind of thinking that many compatriots and foreigners have been tricked into doing business, just like Zhou Xinqun now.

"Auntie, how much were you going to quote for such a crystal card?" Tang Xiaonan asked.

Zhou Xinqun thought for a while and said, "This one is more complicated in workmanship, and the materials are expensive. The price for a card is less than two cents. I can't tell you the specifics. I have to go to the factory and ask, it should not exceed three cents."

After she finished speaking, she asked worriedly, "Is it too expensive? Why don't I report it cheaper? It's a big deal to earn less."

Tang Xiaonan shook her head, "It's too cheap, let's do it, auntie, you report to the Triangle Five."

This kind of crystal hairpin must sell for several dollars abroad. Of course, there are customs duties and other costs, but even if all the costs are removed, Johnny and the others are very profitable.

The price on the Xiangjiang side must be very expensive, otherwise these four foreigners would not come to Wucheng to find channels, and the triangle five is definitely cheaper.

Zhou Xinqun was taken aback and said apprehensively, "It's too expensive, what if they find someone else to do it?"

She is afraid of losing a big client, and there are many competitors.

Tang Xiaonan smiled and said, "Auntie, don't worry, they won't speak our words, and your competitors won't speak foreign languages. There will definitely be no problem in a short time, and if you don't tell the public about this offer, how can others know."

Zhou Xinqun's eyes lit up, yes, as long as she doesn't say it, the ghosts won't know.

Her heart was instantly settled, she reported a number, and Tang Xiaonan translated, "Eight points in the triangle, she said there will be a fluctuation of five points up and down, and I can only confirm it after going to the manufacturer to ask, what do you think?"

She didn't take Zhou Xinqun's rebates, but the four foreigners had to eat them. She was very kind to earn three cents per card.
