Chapter 97 Testing the Waters, White Gloves (First Update, Requesting Monthly Tickets)
Chen Huai'an searched for brands and prices online and made careful comparisons.
We selected several small workshops with poor sales and whose factories were not far apart.
The reason for not choosing reputable large manufacturers is to avoid the complicated procedures involved in their processes.
When the time comes, the order volume will be large, but it won't be available on the market.
That would raise suspicion.
Even if the factory turns a blind eye for profit, the rules and regulations are still there.
The large-scale purchases reported in the report will soon attract attention.
But choosing a small factory that's about to go bankrupt is a different story.
Just like Wang Defa now, he hasn't received any decent orders for a long time.
They can't even pay the workers' wages.
The worst part is the endless debt collection calls I receive every day.
The raw material suppliers were calling him more than a dozen times a day to chase up payment, which was driving him to the brink of a mental breakdown.
If we don't get any more orders, next month we'll have to sell the house to pay severance pay, and use the rest to pay off our debts.
So at this time, if someone were to place a large order, it would be like throwing a lifebuoy to a drowning person.
No matter what, they will hold on tightly and never let go.
Some fundamental principles are no longer that important.
We will do our best to meet any request made by the client.
Even if it's smuggling out of the country, they'll turn a blind eye and pretend they don't see it.
They certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to report it.
They even proactively help avoid risks in order to hold onto the lifeline firmly.
The saying goes, "When there are policies from above, there are countermeasures from below."
Where there's a will, there's a way.
No matter the industry, to outsiders, the rules may seem strict and there is no possibility of breaking them.
But once you're truly in the industry, you can always find loopholes in what seems like an impenetrable fortress.
With the assistance of a professional like Wang Defa, it is easy to avoid some high-profile risks.
Moreover, these small workshops usually have connections and backgrounds in the local area, so any problems can be easily solved.
If we improve our performance and pay more taxes to the township every year, we can solve any problem.
Chen Huai'an kept finding fault with Wang Defa along the way, trying to dampen his spirits.
This will allow him to have a clearer understanding and to correctly position himself.
After all, there are plenty of small workshops that produce plastic inflatable boats. As long as you have money, the sales representatives of those factories will compete to come to your door.
"Don't worry about production capacity. As long as there are orders, we guarantee to complete them on time."
The quality of our factory products is absolutely 100% up to standard.
If there is any fraud, the factory will not accept a single penny of the goods it delivers!
If you trust our factory, the price is negotiable.
Wang Defa adopted a very humble attitude and made repeated promises.
Now, his only remaining asset is the superior quality of his products.
Chen Huai'an left the factory and went straight to the factory office.
He crossed his legs, a calm smile on his face.
They neither said they were satisfied nor dissatisfied.
It's about keeping people in suspense and creating psychological pressure during negotiations.
Moreover, the quotes were deliberately kept very low on several occasions.
They even quoted a price lower than the production cost after consulting relevant information.
"No, no, I really can't do it."
Our factory prioritizes quality and would never do anything that could harm or kill people.
Your quote can only come at the expense of quality.
These requests of yours are simply impossible to fulfill!
Wang Defa shook his head vigorously, but his eyes showed determination.
Demanding quality while also demanding prices below cost is simply impossible.
Unless, of course, the materials are tampered with.
However, the quality of the products produced cannot be guaranteed.
This is, after all, a boat that has been launched. What if it breaks in the middle of the river due to quality issues, causing leaks?
That would drown people!
Although he is greedy, he would not do something like disregarding human life for the sake of profit.
Moreover, if something really happens, the victim's family will definitely not let it go.
If it turns out the problem lies with the inflatable boat, and it was found to have been manufactured with substandard materials, then we'll be in big trouble.
Not only will they have to pay huge compensation, but they will also be fined and forced to go bankrupt.
Even though the client has hinted that the quality requirements could be relaxed appropriately.
Wang Defa remained adamant about not compromising on quality.
To avoid any major problems in the future, which could result in several years in jail.
not worth!
Wang Defa faced a difficult situation, having to desperately explain himself after rejecting a major client.
After a round of negotiations, cold sweat broke out on my forehead and soaked my back.
Just when he thought the deal might fall through.
A heavenly sound reached my ears.
"I admire Mr. Wang's insistence on quality first, so I decided to sign a long-term cooperation agreement with your factory, but—"
When Wang Defa heard that the other party had decided to cooperate, and that it would be a long-term cooperation, a look of surprise and delight appeared on his face.
When I heard "but nothing more," my heart jumped again.
In the negotiation process, the final turning point is often the real core issue!
"I won't hide it from you, Mr. Wang, these assault boats are exported to the tropical rainforests of Africa."
However, in order to save costs, there are some special considerations in the transportation channels.
You understand now, right?
Chen Huai'an's expression was calm, but his voice carried a strong hint.
Even a fool could tell that what they considered "special" was that they weren't going through the proper channels and were trying to evade taxes and engage in smuggling.
Therefore, the distribution of these goods after leaving the factory needs to be handled specially.
If the ships don't enter the market, no one will pay attention.
However, it's unusual that there are continuous orders but no sales.
People hoard grain, salt, rice, flour, and even memory cards, but I've never seen anyone hoard assault boats.
However, he did not know that these ships were not only for supporting the crossing of the Yangtze River campaign, but also for the later crossing of the Yangtze River during the Korean War.
In fact, three months before the main force entered North Korea, soldiers had already waded across the river, and only then was an underwater bridge laid.
These assault boats are lightweight and easy to transport, and can be used by soldiers wading across rivers at night.
Once the war is over, there will be plenty of places in the country where ships are needed, and they will all have a role to play.
In this modern, rapidly changing world, there is a market for plastic boats, let alone in a poor and backward new China.
Wang Defa hesitated for a moment, then nodded through gritted teeth: "Don't worry, I can handle this!"
Every industry has its own shady practices; leave professional matters to professionals.
Once a long-term partnership is established, the factory will truly belong to Chen Huai'an, and Wang Defa will simply be his front man.
Without his orders, this small workshop could be wiped out overnight!
Ultimately, Chen Huai'an and Wang Defa reached an agreement and set a package price for the assault boat and outboard motor.
Both parties signed an agreement and paid a deposit of one million.
Wang Defa was grinning from ear to ear, insisting on taking them out to eat so they could try some local delicacies!
Chen Huai'an had other plans, so he hurriedly drove to his next destination.
