Chapter 292: Unforeseen Circumstances
Chapter 292: Unforeseen Circumstances
Do you know what can make a person crumble in an instant?
Wen Wan didn't know when it came to others, but now she understood when it happened to herself.
It's when you realize that someone you thought was inferior to you is actually far more capable.
Wen Wan watched as Jiang Xia effortlessly spoke fluent American English with a gentle smile, introducing various fabrics to several foreign merchants. Starting with less than ten merchants listening, the crowd gradually grew as more and more passersby couldn't help but stop and join the audience.
Perhaps it was her captivating voice!
Or maybe it was her engaging and professional presentation.
Either way, she had attracted a significant number of passersby.
The booth became so crowded that Wen Wan was pushed out, and the distance between them kept increasing.
Jiang Xia, surrounded by the crowd, stood at the center, her gentle smile as radiant as the moon surrounded by stars.
At that moment, Wen Wan felt like the sky was falling!
She had always believed that Jiang Xia was only slightly better-looking than her, but inferior in every other way.
Wen Wan thought that Jiang Xia's translation income depended on her parents, not her actual skills.
But that wasn't the case; her English was undeniably excellent!
Her earnings were a testament to her abilities, earning more than Wen Wan for every book translated.
Wen Wan observed the foreign merchants listening attentively to Jiang Xia's explanations.
Although they listened with great concentration, it didn't necessarily mean they would buy, did it?
Wen Wan also realized that Jiang Xia wasn't just making things up; she genuinely knew her fabrics well, including their characteristics. Her explanations matched what Peng Yuhua had said, and Wen Wan had translated, but with added flair.
Jiang Xia's descriptions were more captivating, detailed, and engaging.
So, had she, as a part-time translator, memorized all the textile factory's fabric information?
Didn't that make Wen Wan feel even more inadequate?
On the rack were three types of windbreaker fabric, arranged in three rows for easy comparison.
Jiang Xia introduced each windbreaker fabric, explaining their craftsmanship, features, and performance. She also provided examples of which windbreaker fabric was suitable for different types of clothing, making it convenient for everyone to place orders according to their needs.
Jiang Xia's language was engaging, and she often used humor. For instance, when introducing the wind and waterproof windbreaker fabric, she joked that if you wore a windbreaker made from this fabric, nothing could get in except your lover, making everyone laugh.
After the windbreaker fabrics, she moved on to introduce suit fabrics, woolen fabric, silk fabric, chiffon, flowered fabric, and cotton fabric.
In fact, fabrics with patterns were more selective, as different people had different preferences.
Some patterns and designs were loved by some and disliked by others.
However, Hua Nation had a five-thousand-year-old culture with countless poems and songs praising various flowers, and numerous historical anecdotes and folk tales that imbued their culture with a magical charm.
Many foreigners were curious about Hua Nation's culture, and Jiang Xia drew upon these cultural references when describing the fabrics.
Each pattern had a story and a historical anecdote to tell.
Wearing a garment made from these fabrics meant more than just beauty; it carried culture, stories, heritage, and an inner elegance cultivated by poetry and literature!
The group of foreign merchants listened with fascination and admiration in their eyes!
And then the orders started pouring in!
"Xia, I'll take two kilometers of Imperial Beauty, one and a half kilometers of Bamboo Horse Green Plum, one kilometer of Mirror Flowers Water Moon, two kilometers of Solitary Fragrance Admires Itself..."
"Xia, I'll take one kilometer of High Wind Bright Virtue, and two kilometers of each of the other patterns! Three kilometers of each color for the wind and waterproof windbreaker fabric, and for the suit fabric..."
"Xia..."
"Xia..."
...
After Jiang Xia finished introducing all the fabrics, she let everyone examine them further and place orders according to their needs.
As soon as the group arrived, they began placing orders.
Seeing so many foreign merchants rushing to place orders, Jiang Xia quickly asked Peng Yuhua for the inventory list for each type of fabric and inquired about the restocking time for those without stock.
Jiang Xia then informed everyone about the inventory for each fabric, and that it would take seven days to restock once the stock was depleted.
As a result, everyone increased their orders by an additional thousand or several hundred meters for each fabric.
Within two and a half hours, Jiang Xia had cleared out the entire inventory of the textile factory, booking hundreds of thousands of meters of fabric, resulting in a surge of orders! Wen Wan was left speechless.
How could the orders be negotiated so easily?
To Wen Wan, it seemed effortless, but there were sales techniques at play.
Jiang Xia understood that consumers often followed the crowd's mentality. Seeing so many people buying, they couldn't resist joining in. Witnessing others purchasing in large quantities, they felt compelled to buy a little more, fearing they might miss out if they bought too little.
Of course, there were also rational consumers who remained unmoved.
Jiang Xia repeatedly emphasized the remaining inventory for each fabric, stating that once it was sold out, they would have to wait ten to fifteen days for restocking.
If they didn't place an order today, they might have to wait even longer tomorrow, and the prices would likely increase. Today was the first day with discounts.
Occasionally, she would interject, "This fabric is out of stock! It's been snatched up! If you want to order, you'll have to wait seven days, ten days..."
It was as if she had launched a live-streaming sales event, creating a tense atmosphere of frenzied buying.
In such an environment, genuine buyers couldn't resist making purchases.
Seeing others buying in large quantities, those who had already bought felt compelled to buy more, fearing they might have bought too little.
This was how, within two and a half hours, the textile factory's entire fabric inventory was sold out, and the payment center was lined up with customers from the textile factory.
This shocked countless merchants and staff at the Canton Fair.
Was the textile factory giving away half of its fabric?
Why were there so many people?
As lunchtime approached and the crowd thinned out with the departure of customers, Peng Yuhua smiled at Jiang Xia, "Xiao Xia, let's go out for lunch together?"
Jiang Xia smiled and shook her head, "Thank you, Factory Director Peng, but not today! I already have plans for lunch."
Peng Yuhua felt a bit regretful but smiled and said, "Then let's have dinner together tonight."
Jiang Xia felt a bit embarrassed, "I have plans for dinner too. I have appointments for both days. I'll treat you to dinner another day when I'm free."
"Alright then!" Peng Yuhua smiled.
She didn't find it hard to believe, as Jiang Xia wasn't just her translator. If Jiang Xia demonstrated such strong sales abilities in other factories, coupled with her parents' connections, it would be quite normal for people to invite her for meals.
She could only blame herself for being a step too late!
"Then I'll go look for my partner first," Jiang Xia said.
Going to find Zhou Chenglei was just an excuse, as it was lunchtime, and the best place to make an appearance was the food factory.
"Okay, remember to come to our booth in the afternoon!"
"Sure, if I come across any foreign merchants looking to order fabric, I'll bring them over," Jiang Xia promised before hurrying off to the exhibition hall near the food factory.
Watching Jiang Xia leave, Peng Yuhua regretted not persuading her more earnestly to become the full-time translator for her factory.
She would have been willing to pay a daily wage of a thousand yuan!
Speaking of wages, Peng Yuhua asked the finance department about Jiang Xia's commission.
Wen Wan also turned to look at the finance department.
She knew that many people had placed large orders, with each foreign merchant ordering either tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of meters. There was even a major client who ordered nearly a million meters of fabric in one go.
However, she had no idea what the total transaction amount was.
It was simply impossible to calculate!
