Chapter 793: Niu Xiaoqiang's business sense
Karina glanced at Niu Xiaoqiang, in her opinion, Niu Xiaoqiang is the customer, Caroline earned money through him, it is Caroline who should invite coffee to drink, Niu Xiaoqiang invites Caroline to drink coffee, it doesn't seem so appropriate.
Caroline was also a little surprised by this, and was stunned for a moment before she spoke: "Of course there is time, I only have your business this morning, and the rest of the time is relatively free." ”
Niu Xiaoqiang nodded with a smile when he heard this: "In that case, let's go to the café downstairs and sit down." ”
The building has nearly 30 floors, not all of which are offices, with cafes and restaurants on the first floor and hotels on the second to fourth floors.
Caroline said yes, and the three of them took the elevator to the first floor together. After ordering the coffee, Niu Xiaoqiang expressed his intentions: "Miss Caroline, you just said that your company can also help customers purchase computers, I don't know what the specific purchase price is?"
Caroline was not stupid, and immediately heard Niu Xiaoqiang's implication: "Mr. Niu, do you want to buy a computer through me?"
Niu Xiaoqiang's business sense is very keen, and the reason why he invited Caroline to drink coffee was because he found a business opportunity from Caroline's words just now.
This business opportunity is related to Yuejin Computer Company. According to the plan negotiated by Niu Xiaoqiang and Liu Yuejin, after he arrives in the United States, he will inspect the computer market here, and then buy some computers and ship them back to China, and hand them over to Liu Yuejin and Niu Dongxiang to sell and earn the price difference. It's just that because he needs too much money, this plan can only be put on hold for the time being.
He had just heard Caroline say that her company could help customers purchase office supplies, including computers, at a lower price than the market price, so he wanted to inquire about the situation. If she thinks it's appropriate, she can ask Caroline to help act as an intermediary and use her connections to procure computers at a low price.
Niu Xiaoqiang still has a deposit of 40,000 US dollars in his hand, which is his scholarship. The scholarship was originally $60,000, and he repaid Professor Watson $20,000, and he deposited the rest for emergencies.
Some people may wonder: if he has $40,000, why didn't he take it out when he rented the office just now?
This is actually very understandable: even if he comes up with the $40,000, the gap in funds is still very large, and it is better to keep it for emergencies, in case something happens, so as not to be blind.
Niu Xiaoqiang smiled slightly: "Yes, I do want to purchase computers through you, this is not a one-shot deal, if the conditions are right, I want to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with you." ”
Caroline has been interning outside for so long, and her mind is still very active, and she naturally does not want to miss the opportunity to make money. I saw her curious: "I don't know what Mr. Niu's purchase quantity is?"
Niu Xiaoqiang did not hide it, and said honestly: "At present, I will not purchase too much, probably only a dozen units, but this is only temporary, I mean to try the water first, if the situation is not bad, I will definitely expand the number of purchases in the future." ”
Caroline rolled her eyes: "Are you trying to make the difference?"
Niu Xiaoqiang nodded: "I have opened a computer company in China, and I am going to purchase computers from the United States and ship them back to China for sale, if you are willing to help, I can give you a certain commission." ”
Caroline sighed: "If you want to sell in the United States, I am limited by the company's regulations and can't help you purchase, since you ship out of the United States for sale, I can take over this deal, if your business grows, I can even open a company to help you provide a long-term, stable, and cheap supply." ”
Caroline is clearly a decisive woman with a long-term vision. She did not look down on Niu Xiaoqiang because of the small number of purchases in the early stage, but looked at this matter from a long-term perspective.
Through Zhang Xiaolan, Caroline still knows a lot about the situation in China. She knows that China is vigorously developing its economy, although China is still very backward and poor, but its huge population base determines the size of the country's terrifying market.
Niu Xiaoqiang is undoubtedly a very capable person in her eyes, if Niu Xiaoqiang is not capable, how can he come to the United States to open a company in more than a month? How can he come up with money for investment?
It was out of her understanding of China and her recognition of Niu Xiaoqiang that Caroline accepted the deal without hesitation.
Niu Xiaoqiang smiled: "In this case, let's talk about the specific details, first of all, the price, which is related to future profits, and please Miss Caroline to give me a detailed explanation." ”
"No problem, I'll introduce you to it, our company has signed strategic partnership agreements with HP, Apple and IBM, these three computer companies are willing to supply our company at the factory price, each computer is at least 800 US dollars lower than the market price, and the high-end model is even 2,000 US dollars lower than the market price, this price is the same as the price of those dealers, as long as Mr. Niu can establish a good sales channel, it is certain to make money. ”
Niu Xiaoqiang looked a little surprised: "Your company is so powerful, you can get the goods at such a low price?!"
Caroline smiled slightly: " Our company's name is Fannie Mae, is the largest real estate type of enterprise in the United States, the reason why the three computer companies are willing to sign a strategic partnership agreement with our company, is because our company has a huge customer base and marketing channels, and can sell a large number of computer products for them every year, otherwise they would not be able to give us such a large preferential margin, really to say, our company to help them sell computers is actually not profitable, this is just to provide customers with more services, so as to improve customer satisfaction。 ”
Niu Xiaoqiang nodded: "So that's the case, there is a question I want to ask clearly, after all, you are engaged in real estate, if you take private work and resell computers, will your company have an opinion on you?"
Caroline smiled and shook her head: "Don't worry, our company is most concerned about the real estate business, as long as my performance meets the requirements, the company will not interfere too much in other things, of course, the premise is that you can't make small moves in the United States, otherwise it will affect the interests of those computer dealers, they will not agree." ”
Niu Xiaoqiang sighed: "As long as there is no negative impact on you, do you have a detailed price list? If so, please show me, so that I can determine the first batch of models to test the water." ”
