"Brother Hao, why is there such a wall in this beautiful city?"
Qiao Erqiang was sitting in the car, looking around curiously, and suddenly pointed out the window and asked doubtfully.
Qin Hao smiled and said, "This is called the Berlin Wall. Our side belongs to West Berlin and is defended by the US military. The other side of the wall belongs to East Berlin and is defended by Big Brother. You can do anything to this wall. Don't even think about crossing over. There are sentries patrolling both sides, just like the border. If you cross by force, you may be shot on the spot."
In 1986, it was still the period of East and West Germany, and the Berlin Wall was still coming. It was only torn down in the summer of 1990, but the impact has always existed. Even thirty years later, people in East and West Germany still have many different living habits.
The place where Qin Hao is located belongs to West Berlin, that is, West Germany. Compared with East Germany, the economy is much more prosperous, and prices in East Germany are cheaper. Although he does not earn much, he still Being able to maintain a living is somewhat similar to the domestic planned economy.
After arriving at the hotel and checking in, Qin Hao and Qiao Erqiang put down their luggage and headed to the exhibition center of the Electrical Appliances Expo.
There is only one week left before the opening of the expo. Even if Qin Hao hired a professional decoration company, time is still tight.
At first, Qiao Erqiang thought that seven days was enough time to set up the venue, but when he saw the work efficiency of the German workers, he was completely fooled.
"Brother Hao, how can they work like this? It's not a heavy job. If you work for two hours, you have to rest for a quarter of an hour. What kind of afternoon tea is there at 3:30? It's not even eight hours. It’s time to get off work. Didn’t I hire a bunch of big guys?”
The key is that the price these guys are asking for is not cheap. The entire booth is only twenty or thirty square meters, and the renovation costs twenty thousand dollars. Including the rental of the booth, the total cost of this trip would be hundreds of thousands of dollars. In Qiao Erqiang's view, it was a complete waste of money.
Qin Hao patted Qiao Erqiang's shoulder and smiled, "If it weren't for these lazy foreigners, there would be no chance for us to catch up."
"Okay, don't Complain, let’s do it.”
Qiao Erqiang had no choice but to pick up the hammer and work hard.
After working overtime for several days, the booth was finally completed the night before the opening ceremony. Looking at the newly designed booth, Qiao Erqiang finally showed a relieved smile on his face.
"Brother Hao, the booth you designed is so beautiful. It will definitely surprise those foreigners tomorrow."
Qin Hao patted the dust on his hands and nodded with satisfaction. After all, it is In the 1980s, even in Germany, many things were not easy to buy, and the presentation effect was actually different from his drawings, but if it could be done like this, it was definitely enough.
"Let's go back first, take a good bath and rest. There will be a tough battle to fight tomorrow."
"Yes." Qiao Erqiang knew that for this time Qin Hao put in a lot of effort to participate in the exhibition. Not to mention anything else, Qin Hao had to go to the bank and the district government to ensure that the foreign exchange was only over 100,000 yuan.After being able to win an order worth at least one million US dollars, the district government gave the approval, allowing Qin Hao to exchange for 150,000 US dollars.
There is no way, the foreign exchange gap is really too big these days, any use of foreign exchange requires approval at all levels, and the district government has actually taken a lot of risks.
Just when Qin Hao and Qiao Erqiang returned to the hotel lobby, a graceful woman came up to them.
"Are they Mr. Qin and Gong Qiao?"
Qiao Erqiang looked at the woman in confusion. She had big black waves, light makeup, and a pair of clothes under her suit jacket. A white shirt highlighted her plump figure, and her whole body exuded a mature charm.
While Qiao Erqiang was confused, Qin Hao stretched out his hand to the woman, "Are you the Miss Yang that Commissioner Luo said?"
"Yang Zixuan, nice to meet you."
p>Faced with the woman's generous hand, Qiao Erqiang hesitated for a moment, shook her hand shyly, and immediately took his hand back, as if he was not holding the woman's delicate hand. But a bomb.
"This Miss Yang is our translator for tomorrow's exhibition."
Qin Hao introduced that although he can also speak German, he can't handle too many customers by himself, so he can only invite Foreign aid, and the Commissioner Luo mentioned by Qin Hao was the commissioner of the embassy, and Yang Zixuan was the one who brought in help from him.
"Ms. Yang hasn't eaten yet, let's chat while eating."
"Okay."
It's said to be a meal, but it's actually an interview, Qiao The second strongman just watched Qin Hao and Yang Zixuan chatting sentence after sentence in German. He couldn't get a word in at all. When he looked at Yang Zixuan, there was an inexplicable look in his eyes.
"Miss Yang, then meet at the entrance of the expo at 7:30 tomorrow morning. Don't be late."
"No problem."
Seeing Yang Zixuan His back had disappeared, Qiao Erqiang was still looking straight at him, Qin Hao waved his hand in front of his eyes.
"What are you looking at? You're so fascinated."
"No, I'm not looking at anything." Qiao Erqiang explained in a panic.
Qin Hao was secretly amused. Qiao Erqiang liked mature women, perhaps not because of his Oedipus complex, but more likely because of his Oedipus complex. It was more likely that this boy just liked this.
I didn’t expect this kid to have the potential to be a Cao thief.
Surprisingly, Qin Hao brought Qiao Erqiang to the entrance of the expo. Yang Zixuan arrived earlier than them.
"Miss Yang is indeed on time. Let's go in."
"It's okay to use people's money to eliminate disasters."
Qiao The top two fell behind, and their eyes seemed to be fixed on Yang Zixuan. Today Yang Zixuan wore a red coat, and her makeup was much thicker than yesterday. She looked more mature and unrestrained, like a star. The ripe red Fuji is irresistible.
When he arrived at the booth, Qiao Erqiang did not dare to look at Yang Zixuan at all. Even when Yang Zixuan took the initiative to talk to him, he avoided his eyes., not looking at each other at all.
The expo officially opened at nine o'clock in the morning, but it was different from the popular scene Qiao Erqiang imagined at the booth. Although many foreigners would unconsciously stop because of the presentation effect of the booth, many of them were I just took a few glances and left without even asking, let alone placing an order.
This lasted for an hour. Qiao Erqiang lost his temper and secretly said to Qin Hao.
"Brother Hao, what do you mean these foreigners just don't want to buy it?"
Qin Hao smiled at him, "Calm down, don't let these foreigners see that you are anxious, with a smile on your face Smile, that's right, keep it up."
Qiao Erqiang smiled reluctantly, but he still did it.
When Yang Zixuan looked at Qin Hao on the side, a faint smile appeared on her lips. She really didn't expect that this young boss could be so calm.
After another half an hour, people began to come to the booth to inquire.
Qin Hao and Yang Zixuan also became busy and began to introduce products to these foreigners.
At first, Qiao Erqiang thought that he would be able to open up the situation immediately and start signing orders in large quantities. However, what made Qiao Erqiang depressed was that these foreigners seemed to just ask casually. When the time came to eleven o'clock, It's almost dinner time, but still not a single order has been signed.
Just when Qiao Erqiang thought that the morning was over, several foreigners suddenly came to the booth and started asking for prices without saying anything.
"Hello, how much does this juicer from your company cost?"
"Sir, how much does this blender from your company cost?"
In addition to asking for price , and some asked strange questions, such as whether the product complied with safe use standards, whether it had applied for a patent, or some technical issues such as the speed of the mixer.
Yang Zixuan could not answer these questions, so Qiao Erqiang could only answer them, and Yang Zixuan translated them for the foreigners.
At first, Qiao Erqiang was a little nervous and struggled to speak. After answering some foreigners' questions, the two gradually developed a tacit understanding, and Qiao Erqiang became less nervous, sometimes even He would also show a knowing smile to Yang Zixuan, which also greatly changed Yang Zixuan's impression of Qiao Erqiang.
Finally, after Qin Hao secured his first order worth half a million US dollars, the orders began to grow explosively, and orders worth three million US dollars were signed in just one hour. .
This is also because the products Qin Hao chose are relatively small kitchen appliances with relatively low unit prices. In fact, the order quantity is still considerable.
In the afternoon, another order worth more than two million US dollars was obtained, which also met Qin Hao's psychological expectations. After all, it was his first time to participate in the expo, and he had no customer base at all. There are samples, and many dealers are somewhat skeptical about their products.
However, Qin Hao believes that as long as these first batch of cooperative dealers make money, those big dealers will naturallyAfter hearing the news, many channels were opened.
In the seven-day expo, Qin Hao won a total of 28 million US dollars in orders, which has attracted the attention of the embassy. Commissioner Luo even brought people to the site to observe for a long time, and saw Only now can I believe that the hot scene at the booth was not exaggerated by Yang Zixuan.
Especially after seeing the signed contracts, I was even more excited when I held Qin Hao's hand.
"Manager Qin, you gave me a big surprise."
Qin Hao said seriously, "I was also born under the red flag, and I can contribute to the construction of the motherland." It is my duty to contribute, but"
Seeing Qin Hao, he almost had the words "unspeakable hidden" carved on his face. Commissioner Luo couldn't help laughing and scolding, "Tell me what you want, as long as it's not too much." Yes, I will try my best to satisfy you."
"Commissioner Luo, you have also seen that in order to win this order, I lowered the price to almost no profit, and many of the core components are out of stock. We have to import from abroad. If the tariff is calculated, our company will lose money. If the order is not completed, I, the general manager, will be dismissed."
Luo The commissioner rolled his eyes when he heard this. He didn't believe it. Although he didn't understand the true cost of these products, he didn't believe that someone as smart as Qin Hao would not leave himself a profit margin.
However, Commissioner Luo did not expose it directly. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Tariffs must still be implemented in accordance with regulations. However, for the sake of your company's ability to earn foreign exchange for the country, I can apply to the above to give you You will receive certain reductions and exemptions, and I hope you will continue to work hard.”
In the final analysis, the country is still short of foreign exchange. As long as it can generate foreign exchange income, the policy will be more tilted towards enterprises.
One day after the expo closed, Qin Hao and Qiao Erqiang finally had time to go out to relax and take a walk around Berlin.
Yang Zixuan also became their tour guide under the arrangement of Commissioner Luo.
Qin Hao naturally noticed that Qiao Erqiang was interested in Yang Zixuan, and from time to time created conditions for them to be alone together.
Yang Zixuan was well aware of this, but did not refuse.
During these years of living in Germany, she had been surrounded by extroverted foreigners. It was quite refreshing to suddenly meet a shy boy like Qiao Erqiang.
After a day of shopping in Berlin, Qin Hao and Qiao Erqiang finally boarded a flight back to the mainland.
Before leaving, Yang Zixuan came to see her off. Qiao Erqiang mustered up all his strength to ask her for her phone number. He originally thought that Yang Zixuan would refuse, but he didn't expect that the other party actually wrote it directly on the palm of his hand. This was also Qiao Erqiang was so happy that even when he got on the plane, he kept his palms open for fear that the number would be messed up. It was not until he copied the number that he let out a sigh of relief.
"Don't be too happy. It's still early to win." Qin Hao couldn't help laughing.
Qiao Erqiang chuckled, and then cautiously said to Qin Hao, "Brother Hao, if you come to Germany in the future, can you take me with you?"
"Then you have to learn German well, otherwise I will have to I'll arrange a translator for you."
Faced with Qin Hao's teasing, Qiao Erqiang took it seriously and nodded with a grimace, "Well, I will definitely study hard."
" "Looking at your potential, you can't kidnap people back to your country."
"Then, the conditions abroad are so good, are they willing to come back with me?"
After returning to Jinling, The factory has begun mass production in accordance with orders. However, because there are too many orders, even two shifts are too busy. Qin Hao can only increase production lines to expand production capacity.
As soon as the news of Haoran Technology’s recruitment of workers was revealed, a long queue immediately formed at the entrance of the factory. There were only 200 places available, but thousands of people came and lined up all the way to the street, almost causing damage. Traffic jam.
No way, most people these days still earn a salary of thirty-six yuan. The lowest basic salary of Haoran Technology’s employees is eighty yuan, plus overtime pay, perfect attendance bonus, and position As for the allowance, if you can win the Outstanding Employee Award, you can even get 300 yuan a month, which is enough for a year. Who can resist such a temptation
And Haoran Technology is a foreign-funded enterprise with good benefits. , if you tell me that, you will always have face.
Take young people’s blind dates as an example. Anyone who works in Haoran Technology will look down upon them when they go out on a blind date.
Not to mention being an outsider, even Qin Xianglan took Qin Hao's arm and said, "Brother, I will graduate next year. Please let me join your company."
"You What can you do?" Qin Hao took the opportunity to tease her.
The girl became anxious as soon as she heard this, "Don't look down on me, I can do anything."
"Okay, let's start with the most ordinary employee and do three jobs first. Month, if you can't stand it, don't cry with me."
"Humph, no way, by the way, Sanli also wants to be with me, that's it, it's settled. And leave beforehand."
