There are also match factories, MSG factories, paper mills, etc. Xia Ran has thought about them all. As long as the price is right, she can import a batch of goods, especially paper and matches, which are daily necessities and can be stockpiled in large quantities.

After finding out all this, Xia Ran began to wander around the city, calculating the market prices of the goods she was planning to order.

Finally, I strolled to the vegetable market, looked at the prices there, and took a look at the various products there, to see which ones I didn't know about or hadn't heard of.

She also bought some local vegetable seeds. She wanted to buy some fruit tree seedlings, but unfortunately the timing was not right and it was not time to transplant them.

Instead, I asked the owner of a nursery and ordered some fruit seedlings in advance, waiting to pick them up when she came back.

By then her space should have grown considerably, enough to plant those fruit trees.

The next morning, Xia Ran began to visit factories one by one. There were no big discounts on prices, so he just went with the normal purchase price.

There was almost no room for bargaining, so Xia Ran first looked at the large amount of matches, MSG, paper, sacks, etc. that had been stockpiled.

The last place we went to was the silk printing and dyeing factory, where we not only looked at the products but also visited the factory where people were working.

Xia Ran was received by Director Qiu, a director of the sales department. "The batch we are making right now is all orders that have already been placed. If Comrade Xia wants it, he can place a new order directly. He just needs to wait."

I know nothing about summer dyeing of silk fabrics. I can only feel the feel and tell whether it looks good or not.

Of course, it is not a good idea to express opinions casually, so as to avoid appearing unprofessional and being fooled.

I toured the factory in silence, then started to think about it.

Looking at the existing patterns, I racked my brain to recall the dressing styles and preferences of foreigners in later generations, and asked if I could change a few patterns, styles and sizes.

You should know that the very small square handkerchief is only used by those very particular people in China. Foreigners don't have the habit of using it.

Xia Ran was planning to negotiate the price, but Director Qiu from the sales department just showed her the real order from other companies.

"Look, the prices in the contracts we signed with other companies are the same. They are the same for everyone. The same standard is used. This is determined by the size of the order. If you want a cheaper price, just increase the order quantity. There is no other way. It's not that I'm being unkind, it's just the rule."

Xia Ran flipped through it and found the operation so familiar. This person actually walked the same path he had walked before.

After a few seconds of silence, he said: "This is our first cooperation, and it is also my first time to get the goods. Will the goods be sold well in the end? It is hard to say how it will be sold. If it sells well, I will continue to place orders. This can be regarded as a large serial order.

In this case, when I have accumulated the above order quantity, can I use the higher-level unit price uniformly, and can the extra payment I paid before be returned to me in the later transaction process?"

Director Qiu refused. "That won't work. You can't accumulate it like this. Unless you sign a high-level order contract directly with us, you can get the goods in batches. As for what you said, we currently have no precedent and it is not allowed."

Xia Ran said: "What's the problem with this? It's a precedent, isn't it? For you, there is no loss. If the quantity I take is not enough, I will not ask you for a refund. You will get the money back in full.

If I really got this amount of goods, you should refund me part of the payment. I created such great value for your company, isn't it reasonable for you to give me some discount?

Don't be so rigid, let's be more flexible, the market is changing rapidly, and giving convenience to others is also giving convenience to yourself. Just because you have no shortage of orders now doesn't mean you won't have shortage of orders in the future. You see, I also plan to be a long-term customer of your factory.

If you are not sincere, I really don't need to waste my time talking to you. If my first batch of goods sells well, I will directly place the order by remittance and telephone reservation. You will be responsible for the shipment and I will only be responsible for receiving the goods. "

"We really don't have this precedent. I'm not trying to embarrass you or to make things difficult for you."

"Why don't you ask your boss for instructions? It's not that I don't want to place a large order with you at once, but this is my first time doing business in this area, and I don't know the specific market conditions. Otherwise, I could have signed more orders."

When Director Qiu heard this, he thought, well, this woman is really bold, since the matter has not even been decided yet. Finally, after Xia Ran's constant persuasion, he reluctantly agreed psychologically.

In case this woman suddenly changes her mind and doesn’t place an order, it would be a huge loss.

What's more, the other party also said that the money would be refunded only after the quantity of goods purchased exceeded the limit, not now. Think about it, there is really no loss on our factory's side.

Perhaps the only trouble is that the financial accounts are difficult to handle and need to be balanced.

However, I cannot make the decision on this matter myself. I have to ask the superiors for instructions. I cannot bear this responsibility alone.

Director Qiu was absent for a few minutes, and when he came back, the matter was finally settled.

Xia Ran and Director Qiu signed an additional agreement on the spot, which specifically stipulated the refund.

To be honest, Xia Ran doesn't feel any burden about these amounts. She is not worried at all, but when doing business, there are always unexpected events, so it is better to be cautious.

The price difference is quite large. Who would complain that the purchase price is too low?

Xia Ran ordered 5,000 pieces of each of the styles she wanted, paid a 20% advance payment, and would pay the remaining balance in one lump sum on the spot when she received the goods.

We exchanged contact numbers and bank account numbers and agreed on a rough date for delivery, and the matter was settled.

After finishing the work, Xia Ran began to stroll around and eat and drink casually.

I plan to stay here for another day tomorrow and then leave for the next place.

In the following time, Xia Ran strolled around and ate the Pianerchuan noodles with a strong bone aroma, the fresh and fragrant cat ears, and the braised old duck with dried bamboo shoots, which tasted even better.

There was also West Lake lotus root powder, which is a local specialty. Xia Ran ordered it by looking at the menu and tried them all, giving herself a good treat.

Fortunately, the portions of the dishes here are not very large, so she can try a lot of things at the same time without worrying about feeling full.

While on the street, I bought and stockpiled a lot of Dingsheng cakes, planning to eat them slowly.

I also bought some lotus root powder, planning to drink it from time to time. Following the enthusiastic recommendation of the shop owner, I also bought a lot of osmanthus, red dates and lotus seeds to eat together.

When you come to this place, you naturally cannot miss tea. Unfortunately, the timing is not right. Xia Ran just asked and looked at it but did not buy anything. He planned to buy some new tea to drink and give as gifts when he comes back.
