Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 186

Chapter 186: Chapter 186: We Offer Free Gifts

Inside the foreign exchange store, Jiang Cheng introduced Director Lu to the two foreign guests.

With her translation, Director Lu understood that the other party wanted to buy canned food and also knew the price they were willing to pay.

Currently, the most expensive luncheon meat can without a meat coupon is about two yuan per box, with a meat coupon it’s between 1.3 to 1.4 yuan.

Meat coupons restrict domestic sales volume, which actually lowers the cost a bit, but not much.

The price offered by the two MD people was 1.4 yuan.

Upon hearing this price, Director Lu frowned.

At this price, there’s really no profit, as a large volume for domestic demands also costs 1.4, and special departments get 1.3.

However, when dealing with foreign merchants, the standard for damaged goods is higher than domestically.

Technical immaturity results in quite a bit of damage, and they have to bear all that themselves.

Considering transportation as well, it’s really unaffordable inside and out.

Although Director Lu didn’t know what Jiang Cheng’s plan was, he just needed to speak according to the normal approach, while Jiang Cheng handled the rest.

"Jiang Cheng, we can’t accept this price."

Jiang Cheng truthfully translated this, and the two MD people showed an expression of ’as expected’, not quite disappointed.

Because they had been skeptical from the start.

"Please wait a moment, let me coordinate again."

Jiang Cheng stopped the two foreign guests and pulled Director Lu aside for a short distance.

To outsiders, it looked like Jiang Cheng was persuading hard, while Director Lu kept shaking his head.

"Director, I remember that every time the production line concludes, there are dented and bumped luncheon meat cans in the warehouse, right?"

"Yes... but these do not meet the sale standards..."

Jiang Cheng interrupted him and asked, "Is it good meat?"

"Of course!"

"If you were to sell it, how much would you offer? Just whisper it to me."

Director Lu, upon hearing, understood that Jiang Cheng had an idea.

"Eight cents, seven cents is also fine!"

Jiang Cheng nodded, understanding.

She turned around with a conflicted expression and approached the two foreign guests.

"Are you buying the luncheon meat cans to sell in a mall, or in another way?"

"Does it make a difference?"

"Of course!"

Jiang Cheng turned and took out a dented can of luncheon meat from the sack brought by Director Lu.

"If only for wholesale selling, the same quality, just that the ones with dents are easier to sell."

The two MD people glanced at the dented luncheon meat can, slightly disdainful.

Jiang Cheng clearly saw their hesitation.

She straightforwardly opened the canned luncheon meat to show them the quality inside.

After opening the bad can, Jiang Cheng also brought over a good one.

Opened it too, the same taste, the same quality.

After tasting, the two MD people murmured for quite a while, speaking very fast.

They thought it was simple.

As long as they spoke quickly and stumbled, Jiang Cheng wouldn’t understand.

Indeed, Jiang Cheng showed an expression of trying to listen but being utterly confused.

In fact... Jiang Cheng: Indeed, it’s the down-market... To put it plainly, they are kings of the stalls!

They used a low price to buy good cans, no factory would agree.

But now she provided them with a different way.

There’s an opportunity!

For stallholders, slightly defective goods are more convincing to buyers.

A few minutes later, the two MD people offered to buy at nine cents.

Jiang Cheng pretended to consult with Director Lu but secretly gave him a gesture to refuse.

Director Lu could only wear a stern face and shake his head.

The secretary of Director Li, who had been watching from the start to the end, almost spoke but was stopped by Director Li.

Director Li believed that things hadn’t reached their final resolution yet.

He even somewhat understood why Director Lu listened to Jiang Cheng.

Sure enough, Jiang Cheng spoke to the two MD people again: "The price remains unchanged, still 1.4 yuan."

The two MD people looked like they found it absurd and started packing to leave.

"Please don’t rush."
