Chapter 554: Chapter 461: Eye-popping Sales List (Please subscribe!)_1
The sales list was thick.
Not only the names but also the detailed list of some key technical parameters of the products were included. Some even came with pictures, making it look less dry. The entire sales list had versions in Chinese, Thai, and Burmese.
They were separately bound.
Choose the version you can understand.
The sales list included all the exportable goods from the territory, covering a broad range, from light industry to heavy industry, from ordinary napkins, lunch boxes, kitchen knives, to household appliances such as mobile phones, air conditioners, electric fans, and more. The variety was rich.
The people there were dizzy looking at it. For the businessmen visiting here for the first time, they couldn’t help but find it unbelievable.
Their eyes nearly popped out.
Damn it.
So many things.
Many of these were items that the surrounding countries simply couldn’t produce. How did they come up with these?
This is illogical.
The new businessmen also noticed a characteristic.
That is, these products only sell as finished goods, and they can also be produced on behalf of you.
The meaning here is simple: you either provide the design or requirements, and I will provide solutions for industrial production for you, you can also stick your brand on it, or you can buy our ready-made products, but no individual industrial parts or raw materials will be sold.
In other words, if you want to buy a battery, the territory won’t sell you the electrolyte solution or carbon rods inside. If you want to buy a fan, we won’t just sell you the blades or the AC motor inside.
We only sell finished products here, products that can be sold immediately upon arrival.
This is the current business principle of our territory. If you want to buy products, you have to let us produce them. You don’t have to worry about whether we can produce them, but we must control all the profits except the final sales profits.
Even Tang Kai was surprised to see these. When he visited the factories before, many were still not completed, but it hasn’t been long, and now they can produce in large scale, and it seems that the quality is very good.
Just at this time.
A businessman stood up excitedly and said, "Leader Ling, can you really provide everything on this list?"
"Hmm." Ling nodded.
Without saying much.
"Can we see the samples or visit the factory?" The man asked another crucial question. Everyone wanted to know. They didn’t know what the samples would be like, what the quality would be or the prices. They were uncertain.
Ling continued, "Please first take a good look and pick the projects you need. Have a preliminary target. Later, you will have two hours to learn about the products. The time is short, so it’s best to look specifically at what you need.
"Afterwards, we will use a bidding method to sell the right to sell. The purpose of doing this is mainly to reduce your future competition, to protect the interests of our partners. High bidders win, and only when you have successfully bid for rights and paid, can you visit our corresponding factories and acquire the selling rights of the subsequent products."
This time, the territory did not accept orders.
The filing system was used instead. If the sales were allowed to develop freely, and if the territory sold to anyone who comes, the market would definitely be messy, and increase the management costs. It’s better to operate like a factory.
Moreover.
The money for the purchase of this qualification is non-refundable. Since the territory would be taking people’s money, it had to do something for them. It’s not like selling weapons where territories deliver ammunition to both sides, sit back and watch them fight. Tang Qing couldn’t do such a thing.
Having received an answer.
The businessman sat back down. Others in the room also couldn’t stay calm, judging from Ling’s tone, it wasn’t a joke. It was real. They began to whisper to each other, expressing their surprise and shock.
Looking at a group of people acting as if they had never seen the world before.
The businessmen from the territory were bursting with pride.
They wanted this business.
They also didn’t want to sell parts. After all, who wouldn’t want to make more money? Besides, other than the sales sector, all profits would stay in the territory. With advantages in raw materials, taxation, and equipment, the price advantage was evident. The interests here were enormous.
One businessman had calculated.
The factory price of a refrigerator of the same quality in Thailand was one hundred and fifty US dollars, but the factory price here was only one hundred and twenty US dollars, which included their profits and the territory’s taxes. The profit margin was simply touching.
And this.
It was the only way to ensure goods from the territory could be marketed out, price-performance ratio, equal quality, no one has a lower cost than me, I can quickly capture the market, and I can get more share.
What made Keqi nervous was that the mobile phone product was not exclusively supplied to Keqi. Aside from the mobile phone on sale, Ling surprisingly opened up the agency production services to the public.
Keqi was a bit upset.
He wanted to take up all the production volume, hoping that only he would produce cheap mobile phones in the territory. But now it seems a bit unlikely, if someone else bids for the quota, then he must show some sincerity. Otherwise, if someone quickly places an order, Ling’s supply to him would definitely be tight, or in a more rigid way, first-come, first-served, then that would be trouble.
So Keqi decided to quickly reach a new production order with Ling. Procrastination will lead to changes.
After a while.
Those who are interested have a good look.
Those who came to stall for time just flipped through it casually.
Although they are interested, this is different from the previous factory and raw material business. The previous business was to see the tangible factories with their own eyes, a business of earning money from the territory, everyone was interested. But this time it’s about buying things from the territory, which made many people lose interest.
"Alright, now you can go to the side hall and take a look at the products."
After Ling finished speaking.
Everyone quickly rose to their feet and walked towards the back of Leader Ling’s podium.
They entered the side hall.
The scene in front of them seemed just like a...grocery market.
Exactly right.
This was a grocery market.
All goods were arranged by category. There wasn’t any other choice, there were too many items - high-end, low-end, expensive, cheap, big, small, it was all mixed up. Only after the entire site was vacant would they re-plan the exhibition area. Each factory would set up a showcase booth here to carry out order business. Buyers wouldn’t need to run to the factory.
There were several people dedicated to explaining each product in front of every booth.
The merchants entered one after another.
The factory owners from Ling’s territories also voluntarily came to their small ’exhibition table’ to vigorously introduce products. However, compared to general items, what people were more concerned about were those with high technology.
After all, the lower the technology content, the lower the added value, making the price not much different from the outside world. It was not much higher than the price of raw materials. However, with high-tech products, a considerable profit was added to each component.
So, plain and simple, this qualifier sale will not bring many rewards to many companies, but it also won’t be insignificant. For example, the pots and cups produced by Wei Hao’s plastic factory are low in cost, and also close to Chiang Mai Prefecture, which does not have the ability to produce these items.
So, basically, the merchants from Chiang Mai Prefecture would purchase more. Any further away, and Wei Hao’s cost advantage would be negated. Wei Hao had anticipated this, with a brick factory and a plastic product factory, he also realized the limitations of his products.
The brickyard had no room for expansion, as this was definitely only a regional business. Bricks were such that, it wasn’t cost-effective to transport them over long distances. No one would buy them.
The plastic products factory was quite good, not just for daily necessities such as pots and cups. Most industries in the territory required a large quantity of plastic products, such as fans, refrigerators, air conditioners. But these were demands from within the territory. Outside of it, they could only export items like scoops and pots.
Because of this...
Today, he secured construction qualifications for a lighting factory.
The lighting factory had been in the catalogue last time, but since the territory then relied on diesel power generation, the merchants didn’t know when every household could have electricity. Hence, they chose things that could bring in quick money, what the territory lacked. In the end, the lightbulb factory was left behind.
Now...
The power plants around various towns had been built, with electricity now available, light fittings naturally became desirable.
Keqi didn’t pay attention to anything else.
Instead, he eagerly looked for the electronics section, wanting to see if the mobile phone he was selling was on display.
Arriving at the electronics exhibition area...
Upon checking...
Keqi’s mood plummeted.
He saw the mobile phone he was selling on the stage.
While he was a bit at a loss...
A voice gave him hope.
"Why is this a restricted circulation product?" This was said by someone who had moved up faster.
Restricted product?
Upon hearing this, Keqi quickly stepped forward to find that the phone he was selling was labelled: ’Restricted area circulation product, not allowed in the Thai market.’
"Sir, we already have a partner for this mobile phone in Thailand. We have rules that in our territory, a single country will only have one distributor for a mobile phone model." A staff member stepped forward to explain.
On hearing this...
Keqi was relieved.
Keqi really loved this system. One mobile phone model, one distributor per country. If you think about it, two completely identical phones, bought for the same cost, would two distributors take them out to have a price war?
Only a moron would play that way.
"What a pity, but who is the distributor? Did you already have a partner before this? That’s not fair." The person furrowed his brows.
Keqi didn’t like hearing this.
"Mu You, it was me, what of it? It’s already on sale." Keqi said proudly. He knew this guy, a member of a family that was about as powerful as his own, primarily in the steel business. This family controlled 30% of all steel supply in Thailand. They also dabbled in mobile phone sales, though their share in that wasn’t one-third of the Clay family’s.
Upon turning and seeing Keqi, Mu You’s brow relaxed and he smiled, "Keqi, it’s you. I see, did Wangsa pull you in?" He asked Wangsa, standing next to Keqi.
Seeing Wangsa...
Mu You understood. Wangsa, being the first person to do business with this side, must have had a great relationship with Ling. The steel Wangsa had earlier brought over to sell was procured from him. This had also made his family pay attention to this side.
One couldn’t deny...
This side had given him many surprises.
"Mu You, can’t help it, after all, the Clay Family’s phone business is huge." Wangsa shrugged.
Mu You chuckled.
"Alright then, since you’ve taken the distribution rights to this phone, don’t compete with me for these two."
