Rebirth in 1989: Building a Chinese Technological Empire

"Director Luo, the transaction amount of this exhibition is very good. So far, the transaction amount has exceeded 5 billion US dollars..."

In the exhibition hall of the Canton Fair, a staff member is reporting the performance of this Canton Fair to Luo Xiangyu.

This year's Canton Fair has slightly changed the rules and changed to twice a year in spring and autumn. This is the autumn exhibition. The total transaction amount of the spring exhibition is 5.46 billion US dollars, which is also a very good result.

Now the transaction amount of the autumn exhibition has also exceeded 5 billion US dollars, which is really good.

Luo Xiangyu looked at some information in his hand, but there was not much smile on his face.

"Alas, it's a pity that there are few exported products."

Luo Xiangyu sighed. 5 billion US dollars is the transaction amount of the entire exhibition.

But this 5 billion US dollars is not the export amount, but the import and export amount, and most of it is import. China can export few things, but needs to import many things.

The exported things are not advanced products, most of them are handicrafts and some raw materials, and the prices are very cheap. Imported goods are very expensive. They are all advanced equipment that is urgently needed for national construction. Sometimes, a set of such equipment costs hundreds of millions of dollars. How many cheap goods must a country export to exchange for such a set of things?

The gap is the gap between China and developed countries abroad. This gap is so big that it makes people despair.

"Director Luo, it will get better in the future."

The staff whispered, and Luo Xiangyu sighed and continued to walk while looking at the booth.

Looking at the advanced equipment and exquisite home appliances exhibited by foreign brands, Luo Xiangyu envied. When will China have decent high-tech products? When will China be able to make money from foreigners with high-tech products?

"Director Luo, Director Luo..."

Suddenly, an anxious voice stopped Luo Xiangyu.

"Xiao Zhang, what's the matter?"

The person who came was Zhang Yuancheng, who was responsible for the Canton Fair. He was also very busy during this period.

"Director Luo, big things, big things."

Zhang Yuancheng stopped beside Luo Xiangyu with a breath, and his words made Luo Xiangyu's face immediately serious.

"Xiao Zhang, tell me seriously, what happened? Did a domestic enterprise conflict with a foreign guest?"

Luo Xiangyu asked quickly.

"No, no, it's a good thing, Director Luo, Wal-Mart and Best Buy in the United States want us to be a guarantor. They want to purchase a batch of home appliances from a domestic electrical appliance company of ours, with a total value of 180 million US dollars. Because it is the first cooperation, they are a little worried, so they want to ask our government to be a guarantor."

Zhang Yuancheng said quickly, which made Luo Xiangyu's eyes widen.

"How much did you say? 180 million US dollars? Are you sure you heard it right? Not 18 million US dollars?"

Luo Xiangyu asked quickly. This made Zhang Yuancheng laugh. He was also shocked when he heard this data just now. After repeated confirmation, he knew it was true.

"Director Luo, it's 180 million US dollars. They want to purchase a batch of air fryers from Huasheng Electronics, a total of 3 million units, and each air fryer is priced at 60 US dollars. Now all three parties are in my office..."

As soon as Zhang Yuancheng finished speaking, Luo Xiangyu immediately strode towards Zhang Yuancheng's office.

It's a big deal, 180 million US dollars, and it's a product exported to the United States.

What is this? Is this foreign exchange?

How much foreign exchange does the country lack now? Too much, too much.

How much foreign exchange does China have now? Only 5 billion US dollars. Such a big country, only 5 billion US dollars in foreign exchange.

And there are so many good things abroad? These things need foreign exchange to buy. Without foreign exchange, I'm sorry, they don't recognize the RMB and won't sell without foreign exchange.

Advanced machine tools, advanced weapons and equipment, advanced medical equipment, etc., all need foreign exchange. In order to create foreign exchange, domestic companies are going crazy now. Which company can create foreign exchange for the country is the hero of China.

So during this period, the operation of some companies sounds funny.

Many products are sold at a loss, yes, they are sold abroad at a price lower than the cost price. The loss is subsidized by the state, and the foreign exchange for selling products is taken away by the state. It sounds funny, but it is painful to think about it carefully.

Because there is no foreign exchange, many good things in China are bought by foreigners at very low prices. For example, precious rare earth resources, and exquisite handicrafts.

After Luo Xiangyu and his party came to the office, they saw Xu Dabao and his party at a glance.

"Mr. Xu, let me introduce you, this is Director Luo of our Guangdong Provincial Department of Foreign Economic Relations and Trade. Director Luo, this is Mr. Xu of Huasheng Electronics, this is Mr. Sam, the purchasing representative of Walmart, and this is Mr. Kane, the purchasing representative of Best Buy...."

Zhang Yuancheng hurriedly introduced each other.

"Hello, Director Luo, I am Xu Dabao from Huasheng Electronics..."

Xu Dabao quickly extended his hand and looked very enthusiastic.

Big boss, this is a big boss.

Director of the Department of Foreign Economic Relations and Trade of Guangdong Province, although Xu Dabao didn't know how powerful this position was. But looking at Zhang Yuancheng's attitude, Xu Dabao knew that this position was definitely not small.

"Hello, Director Luo, I am Sam from Walmart..."

"Hello, Director Luo, I am Kane from Best Buy..."

Sam and Kane also greeted Luo Xiangyu. Looking at these three people, Luo Xiangyu tried to stabilize his emotions.

"Hello, hello, I heard that you have a business that requires our government to guarantee it?"

Luo Xiangyu behaved very steadily. Although he was excited, he knew that he had to remain stable after having seen many storms. Because he represents not only himself, but also China.

"Yes, that's right. Our company has recently developed a product called, air fryer. Walmart and Best Buy want to purchase our products. The total purchase volume is three million units, the unit price is 60 US dollars per unit, FOB price, because it is the first cooperation, they are a little worried..."

Xu Dabao explained the matter in detail.

After that, Luo Xiangyu laughed.

There is no problem with this matter. For such a large business, it is completely fine for the government to guarantee it. Not only guarantees, but also such a large order, the government has the responsibility to help the enterprise complete the order, and by the way, legally supervise the enterprise to avoid bad disputes.

The atmosphere in the office became very harmonious, and Sam and Kane expressed their requirements.

This order is large, and the funds are also large.

The entire batch of orders will be delivered in batches, and Walmart and Best Buy need Pay one-tenth of the deposit first. After Huasheng Electronics delivers one-tenth of the goods, Walmart and Best Buy need to pay another 10% of the payment.

Simply put, it means paying first and delivering the goods later.

Luo Xiangyu swallowed his saliva. This was the first time he had seen doing business with foreigners. Before, when domestic companies exported products, foreign capital was always making things difficult and finding faults. Many of them only paid after seeing the goods, and some even withheld the payment for several months.

Now, on Huasheng Electronics' side, Walmart and Best Buy actually paid first and delivered the goods later. This is really strange.

"Don't worry, you two, our Chinese government will definitely serve our Chinese companies wholeheartedly. You two, wait a moment, I will talk to Mr. Xu alone."

After understanding it, Luo Xiangyu said with a smile, and then directly called Xu Dabao to the next room.

When the door of the room was closed, Luo Xiangyu immediately changed to a serious expression.

"Mr. Xu, tell me the truth, have you cheated foreign businessmen? You have to know that the transaction amount is very large. If you are a fraud, you will be shot. "

Luo Xiangyu asked quickly. He still couldn't believe it was true.

"Director Luo, what are you saying? Our Huasheng Electronics is a serious enterprise. The air fryer is a new product developed by our company and has registered a patent worldwide. Director Luo, let me say something unpleasant. Are Wal-Mart and Bestma fools? If they don't do a good job of investigation and don't see the actual product, how can they place an order so anxiously? And they pay first and then get the goods. Which other domestic companies do business with foreigners like this? "

Xu Dabao's words made Luo Xiangyu feel relieved.

That's right, how could Walmart and Best Buy place orders without seeing the products and doing a good job of inspection? And they pay first and then get the goods.

Foreign businessmen are not fools, especially giants like Walmart and Best Buy. Even the big international brands have to listen to them when they cooperate with them.

Thinking of this, Luo Xiangyu laughed and became very curious. What exactly is this so-called air fryer?

Luo Xiangyu looked at Xu Dabao differently. Good job, although Luo Xiangyu didn't know what an air fryer is. What is it exactly? But if it can be exported to the United States and earn US dollars, it is great.

Huaxia home appliances are exported to the United States and are fought over by the two major American supermarkets. How can this sound so exciting?

What's more, it can earn so many US dollars, 180 million US dollars in foreign exchange. In this era, this is a heavy achievement. 180 million US dollars can allow the country to purchase more advanced equipment.

Luo Xiangyu and Xu Dabao returned to the room, and Luo Xiangyu also listened carefully to the requirements of Walmart and Best Buy.

After listening, he immediately asked Zhang Yuancheng to prepare the contract.

In fact, it is very simple, it is nothing more than HuaxiaThe government will reasonably supervise Huasheng Electronics to ensure the delivery of goods. After all, this time the funds are relatively large, the goods are relatively large, and it is the first cooperation.

In the future, there will be more cooperation, there will be new people among everyone, and Huasheng Group will have a reputation. At that time, there will be no need to do business like this.

In the office, under the witness of Luo Xiangyu and others, Huasheng Electronics and Walmart Best Buy officially signed a contract.

Looking at the heavy contract, Luo Xiangyu laughed, Xu Dabao and Xu Huasheng also laughed. Sam and Kane were also very happy, and so were David and William.

This is a win-win business, and everyone is happy is the hard truth!
