Chapter 289 Ordering
Jiang Xia looked at the old man and said with a smile: "Old sir, yes, the discount is only available if you place an order now, and you can only get this discount if you order a freighter of more than 27,000 tons. Others Boat discounts are different.”
The old man also understands that different boats have different prices. Some boats cost even 50,000 US dollars, so it is impossible to get them for 50,000 US dollars cheaper.
He smiled and said: "I know this. I also want to order a cargo ship of more than 10,000 tons. Can I order a bulk cargo ship of 30,000 tons?"
Jiang Xia smiled: "Yes! If the old gentleman If you want to order, you can order it as early as possible, because our shipyard receives a lot of orders. The earlier you order, the sooner you can schedule the production, and the earlier you receive the ship, the sooner you make money. Time is money. If you can order the ship one month early, you may make back the money you spent on the ship. Half of it.”
Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, a round trip for an ocean-going ship takes more than a month, and the freight is very high.
If you close the ship a month early, you will definitely earn more than $50,000.
The old man also knew this truth: "Then if I order a ship today, when will the ship be delivered?"
Jiang Xia smiled and said: "Our shipyard's business is very good, and the orders have been queued up. Years later, sir, you are our shipyard’s first customer at the Guangzhou Fair. We can deliver the ship three months in advance, and the ship will be delivered at the same time as the ship ordered by Mr. Gill.”
The old man has always said. Speaking English to Jiang Xia, another translator has been translating the conversations between Jiang Xia and the old man, Mr. Mai En, to Director Zhou.
Director Zhou said at this time: "The ship can be delivered at the earliest in June next year."
Now there is an additional production line. In fact, it will be almost ready in April and May, but this cannot be said. You have to leave some time to prevent it. just in case.
After hearing this, Jiang Xia looked at Director Zhou and asked, "All the ships ordered today can be delivered in June next year?"
She looked at Director Zhou deeply. At a glance,.
Director Zhou understood: "Only the fifteen ships ordered earlier can be delivered six months in advance. The subsequent orders will be in order."
Jiang Xia smiled and told the old man what Director Zhou said: "Old sir, our Director Zhou said that the delivery time can be half a year in advance! However, only fifteen ships can be delivered half a year in advance."
The delivery time is half a year ahead of schedule! That really couldn't be better!
The old gentleman immediately said: "I will order five ships! Place the order now!"
"Okay! I will have someone place an order for the old gentleman."
Jiang Xia He said to Director Zhou: "Director, this old gentleman wants to order five 30,000-ton bulk carriers. Please arrange for someone to invoice him."
Director Zhou immediately found someone to take the old man to place an order.
Delivery half a year in advance? How much money can you make by going to sea in half a year? Those foreigners who were still waiting and watching originally wanted to wait for Mai En to announce the price, but now they couldn’t wait any longer, and they all spoke out to grab the quota: "Xia, if the ship can be delivered in June next year, I also want to book a ship!" I want to order two! What kind of discount do you give me, one is $50,000 cheaper?”
"Xia, I also want to order a ship, I want to order one."
"Xia, I want to order three ships..."
...
Main is a businessman, and for a businessman, every second is money.
Why didn’t he go to country M to book a ship this time? It is because the M country shipyard has too many orders, and it will take a year and a half before the ship can be delivered.
The ship is now ordered here for delivery in June next year, which is one year earlier than the ship was ordered in country M.
Now he rents a boat and the monthly rent is quite high.
Time is money. In one year, not only can you save a lot of rent, but eight ships can earn back the price of one ship.
He immediately said: "Xia, I was the first to discuss ordering a ship with you just now, and I am the first customer. I want to order eight ships, and you have to deliver them to me in June next year. And the discount is US$50,000. "Jiang Xia nodded: "I know, Mr. Maien was the first one who wanted to book a ship just now, and you are Jill's friend, I will definitely give you a US$50,000 discount."
"Xia, we all came here with Jill, and we booked the boat together. Can the price be reduced by US$50,000?"
"Xia, I want to order a drilling rig. Lifting platform, what are the discounts? ”
Jill and John also helped to speak: "Xia, they are all my friends. Can we deliver the ship they ordered together? We will give them the same discount! Are we the first customers to arrive?"
< br>"Xia, don't you have a saying in your country called 'Treat one over the other'? You can't favor one over the other!"
Everyone rushed to speak.
Jiang Xia signaled everyone to calm down and come one by one, "I know, I tried my best to tell the factory director to give everyone a discount of 50,000 US dollars, but only fifteen ships can be delivered half a year ahead of schedule, and the others may not be , but I will try my best to deliver the ship as soon as possible. You have to believe in the speed of our country! The speed of our country's work has always been amazing! I don't know if you have heard that our country's first 10,000-ton ship The freighter was built in less than two months, and that was more than 20 years ago."
Jiangxia knew that the shipyard had ordered equipment in advance and was ready for the Guangzhou Fair. So definitely more than 15 ships can be delivered half a year ahead of schedule.
However, these foreign businessmen together should not be able to order as many as fifteen freighters.
An hour later, Jiangxia signed a total order of 35.5 million US dollars to the shipyard. The shipyard became the fastest unit to sign an order of 10 million US dollars at the Guangzhou Fair!
Jiang Xia also received a commission of US$35,500.
Another translator at the shipyard was paid 100 yuan a day. She also heard that Jiang Xia did not need salary but only a commission.
It turned out that she thought it was unreliable because the boat was not easy to sell.
Now she silently calculated it in her heart, and then she felt sour!
If I had known she would not want a salary, but a commission.
Director Zhou did the math and said to Jiang Xia: "Girl, no wonder you don't want salary!"
Jiang Xia smiled: "Director Zhou is reluctant to part with it?"
Zhou Chang glared: "How could it be! If you sign an order worth 100 million, I'm willing to do it!"
Director Zhou was very happy about the commission given to Jiang Xia!
Is thirty-five thousand five hundred dollars a lot? many!
But each ship Jiangxia sold was fifty thousand dollars more expensive than their original list price!
In other words, they not only made less money by giving Jiang Xia a commission, but also made a lot more money.
How could you be reluctant?
Jiang Xia walked over and returned the watch to Jill, thanked him, and handed the watch to Zhou Chenglei.
After Gil and the others booked the boat, they were going to check out other booths. Gil asked Jiang Xia to have dinner together in the evening.
Jiang Xia responded with a smile.
At this time, the old man who had just booked a boat also asked Jiang Xia to have dinner together to thank the couple for their help at the train station last time.
Jiang Xia had just agreed to Jill and the others, and made an appointment with the old man tomorrow night.
When the translator looked at Jiang Xia and Ji Er, the old man was so familiar with them, so he felt relieved. It turned out that only regular customers dared to ask for commissions without salary.
That’s right! Is it so easy for ships to get orders?
Sorry, I came here to ask for leave. The update today (Saturday, October 26th) will be a little later, maybe at night. I am not satisfied with the writing, so I need to push it and rewrite it.
