Chapter 642: Full House Red
Chapter 642: Full House Red
Jiang Xia signaled everyone to place their orders if the items suited them. "The earlier you order, the sooner we can ship. If you place your order today, the goods might even be ready by the time the Guangzhou Trade Fair ends and you return home."
The fair lasted for twenty days, so Jiang Xia’s words held true.
A wealthy businessman from a certain Southeast Asian country heard Fang Aiyuan calling Jiang Xia "Xia Xia." He also decided to use the same nickname. "Xia Xia, how many cases of each flavor of my new product do you think I should order?"
"Jiang Xia, can I have a look at your statistical data? I want to place my order based on that."
"Jiang, I’d like to see it too."
...
No matter who it was or what their procurement needs were, Jiang Xia met all their requests. Of course, the quantity they ordered was up to them. Jiang Xia checked the inventory and production speed, informing them of the lead time if they ordered beyond the available stock. She subtly hinted that it was better to stock up to avoid delays.
One by one, orders of fifty thousand, one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand... hundreds of thousands of cases were signed.
Each order had a minimum quantity of fifty thousand cases, as this threshold came with a gift.
This time, Jiang Xia had a new promotional strategy. Instead of offering discounts or gifts based on the order quantity, she promised that for any order of fifty thousand cases or more, they would receive twenty cases of every new product and flavor as a priority shipment for trial sales.
This approach effectively promoted new products in advance.
After all, the best way to promote new products was to give a few cases to distributors for trial sales. Now, she was just giving a bit more.
But a few extra cases could lead to orders of tens of thousands more.
The cost of a case of food was not high, but the profit margin was significant.
Why not take advantage of it?
...
The hour hand silently moved, pointing to the number 10.
The fair had been running for over two hours.
At this time, the entire Guangzhou Trade Fair hall was bustling with people.
Many foreign buyers in the food industry, seeing the crowd at one booth, joined in.
The more people gathered, the more orders were placed!
When Old He and the other leaders toured the food exhibition area, they saw a scene of foreign buyers queuing up to place orders.
One of the leaders said, "Just looking at this scene, I know it must be Jiang Xia acting as the translator."
Old He knew Jiang Xia would not disappoint her. He instructed his assistant, "Go and check the sales volume in the food exhibition area today."
Half a day had passed, and Xia Xia must have secured quite a few orders.
The assistant quickly went to the service desk to inquire.
The response was astonishing!
He rushed back to the food exhibition area, disregarding his appearance.
He approached Old He and whispered a number.
Old He’s eyes widened. "Twenty-six million? Are you sure you heard it right?"
The other leaders looked at Old He.
Old He’s assistant tried to suppress his excitement but couldn’t help it. "I heard it right! I asked twice. All the factories placed orders this morning! Most factories reached a million in sales, and all new products received orders. It’s a collective success, a full house red!"
All the leaders smiled at this achievement!
The retail price of food was low, yet they had already made over twenty-six million dollars in a short time, a significant sales volume!
"Only an hour or so until noon. I wonder if we can break thirty million."
"Given the momentum, it’s very likely! More and more people are coming."
"Which province has the highest sales volume, and which has the lowest?" a leader asked.
Old He’s assistant had already found out and named two provinces.
After all, when a leader asked you to look into something, you had to gather all related information to answer their questions at any time.
The leader from the province with the lowest sales volume couldn't hold back his frustration: "Old He, let Xia Jiang help translate for other food factories. Look, all the foreign friends are heading to Beijing's booth! We can't have one place shining while the rest fall behind. We need a full house red!"
At the Guangzhou Trade Fair, there was competition not only between factories but also between provinces.
The province with the highest sales volume would be recognized for outstanding performance and receive praise.
The leader who was currently at the bottom of the list was genuinely afraid of ending up in last place again this year, which would mean being singled out for criticism in the meeting and having to write a report on their shortcomings.
Old He, in a bad mood, replied, "Xia Jiang has already taken the foreign business group on a tour. One person can't do the work of an entire team. You should think about how to learn from Xia Jiang and improve your own capabilities instead. That's the best way to improve."
Zhao Chenglei now always had a sour expression whenever he saw him, so he didn't dare to approach Xia Jiang anymore.
Wenwan, who was following them, overheard everything.
So, Xia Jiang managed to secure over twenty million in sales in just over two hours?
How much commission would she get?
Wenwan had been quite pleased at first.
She had brought several groups of foreign buyers to the booth in the morning and secured an order for 2,500 pieces, earning about 25 yuan in commission.
It was a good start!
But now, she couldn't be happier!
She walked up to a few of her classmates and asked, "How's it going? Did you learn anything?"
She was counting on them to sell more clothes in the coming hours!
Otherwise, she would end up losing money to them!
One of the female classmates said, "We learned a lot, but it feels like we can't fully grasp it."
The others nodded in agreement.
Xia Jiang was just too amazing!
They felt they couldn't catch up.
Not only could she switch between several languages like a native, but she was also very familiar with every product and the dietary cultures of various countries. They simply couldn't do that!
They had been trying to memorize the details of each clothing item, such as the craftsmanship, fabric, color, and size, but they hadn't even finished yet!
Xia Jiang, on the other hand, could recite the ingredients of all the products from several food factories by heart!
She could even explain the nutritional components of the food and the health benefits in great detail.
They felt utterly inferior!
No wonder she could earn tens of thousands of dollars.
Even if her family had connections to help her get this opportunity, she had the capability to stand on her own.
People admire strength, and they were all around the same age. The fact that she was so much better than them was truly humbling!
They couldn't help but admire her!
Xia Jiang glanced at her watch and saw it was 10:40. She needed to check on the children in the rest area, so she apologized to the group and hurried off.
Xia Jiang walked through the crowd, passing by Old He and the other leaders, who all said to her, "Comrade Xia, you've worked hard!"
Xia Jiang smiled and replied, "It's not hard at all. Working to earn foreign exchange for the country is worth any hardship. I need to use the restroom, so I'll take my leave."
The leaders nodded, impressed by Xia Jiang's high level of ideological awareness.
One of the male classmates, deeply moved by Xia Jiang's words, watched her leave and asked, "Which school is this Xia Jiang from?"
They, as translation staff and volunteers, had met before, but none of them had seen Xia Jiang.
Just then, a volunteer from Q University walked by and proudly said, "You mean Teacher Xia? She's a teacher in the foreign language department at Q University and also a freshman in the fashion design department."
Wenwan: "……"
The few classmates around Wenwan: "……"
