Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 354 Hot
Since Manager Qian has this idea, Lu Qiaoge will not stand on ceremony.

She, along with Meng Qingshan and several others, carried two boxes of instant noodles over.

I also picked up a few straw storage boxes.

It must be said that the Haicheng delegation's exhibition area was in a great location, next to the Beidu delegation, facing the main entrance, and spacious and bright.

The important thing is that the large pillars are on both sides.

Manager Qian blinked as he looked at the straw handicrafts displayed on the table.

I've always known that straw-woven handicrafts from Jiangcheng have been generating foreign exchange, but I've never seen the products. Now that I've seen them, they are indeed exquisite, in no way inferior to the works made by the old craftsmen in the south.

It seems that although Jiangcheng is located on the frontier, it is also a place where hidden talents abound.

Lu Qiaoge said with a smile, "These are called storage boxes. We'll use them to store instant noodles."

Manager Qian nodded secretly. Sure enough, this method really made a difference.

Lu Qiaoge naturally thanked Manager Qian, then took out ten bags of instant noodles and handed them to him, saying, "These are just samples, not many, just a small token of my appreciation. Please don't mind, Manager Qian."

Manager Qian accepted it with a smile: "Not at all, not at all. Why would I complain about something so good?"

Ever since he learned that Jiangcheng would also bring instant noodles to the trade fair, his factory has stopped expanding production of instant noodles. Not to mention the taste, there are many other drawbacks. First of all, they don't keep as long as Jiangcheng's instant noodles and are as convenient to carry.

As for the taste, it definitely can't compare.

So he cleverly switched to other products.

But if you can try it, it would be a pleasant surprise.

Lu Qiaoge discovered that Manager Qian was a very quick-witted person.

In fact, if we had waited a little longer, the organizers would likely have placed their Jiangcheng instant noodle products in the best exhibition area.

After all, this was something that was nominated and given special attention by the higher authorities.

But since Manager Qian took the initiative to come to us, we can't be ungrateful.

Even though we were selling other companies' products in our own exhibition area, it still brought in customers.

Not afraid of not knowing the goods, but afraid of comparing goods.

Just as expected, Jiangcheng instant noodles instantly became a new favorite at the trade fair due to their enticing packaging, irresistible aroma, and explosive taste.

Before noon, Lao Zhou brought over a rectangular desk with more than a dozen tea mugs, clean chopsticks, and knives and forks on it.

No introduction needed; as long as it's edible, just taste it and you'll know how it tastes.

So there were a lot of people gathered around this long desk, inside and out.

Meng Qingshan, Du Shuang, Sister Zhao, and other members, even people from the textile factory, came to help.

Old Zhou said to Lu Qiaoge with some heartache, "That's enough. There should be a rule that each family can only have one bite. Look at that Hong Kong businessman, he gulped down half a bowl in one big mouthful. That doesn't match his appearance at all."

Old Zhou doesn't have time to manage other factories now.

Who would have thought that this place would become so lively just over an hour after the trade fair started?

Lu Qiaoge could only chuckle when she heard Lao Zhou's words.

There's no way around it; decades from now, people who are used to eating lots of meat and fish will still occasionally crave this, let alone in this day and age.

When the instant noodles were ready and the lid was lifted, it attracted Hong Kong businessmen, foreign businessmen, and Nanyang merchants who came attracted by the aroma.

These are all wealthy people, and they all have a solid financial foundation.

They all had quite the air about them.

Foreign businessmen are generally taller, and when they look at people, they are not actually humble, even if they try to be modest.

The same applies to Hong Kong businessmen.

At first, I basically ignored Xiangyang brand chicken stew with mushrooms noodles and walked past it.

This is how everyone does it on the first day. They just glance around, firstly to see if there are any new products, and secondly to put pressure on the other party so that they can negotiate a lower price when the other party comes back later.

People here now consider exchanging foreign currency a top priority.

Therefore, in the end, you can always buy the best things at the lowest price.

This time, the plan backfired.

As the group walked past, they smelled a fragrance they had never smelled before, the kind that made their mouths water.

Mr. Liu, the elegant Hong Kong businessman, is the man Lao Zhou mentioned earlier who ate half a bowl in one bite. He is the second son of the chairman of Hong Kong City Food Company. He is not only an entrepreneur but also a gourmet.

Upon smelling this fragrance, I turned around and headed this way.

And that's how the scene Old Zhong described happened.

As for foreign businessmen who don't know how to use chopsticks, they can still eat instant noodles with a knife and fork just as well.

The delegation from the Northern Capital was right next to them.

Seeing Manager Qian and Lu Qiaoge talking with smiles on their faces, they felt a little regretful.

They arrived on the same train and should have been seizing the initiative, but they didn't seem to care about the instant noodles.

Before they could make a move, the organizers arrived.

He had just received a call from above and rushed over to find Director Zhou. When he saw so many foreign and Hong Kong businessmen gathered around the long table, he said to Director Zhou with a guilty look, "I'm sorry, we didn't make proper arrangements beforehand. Otherwise, we wouldn't be crammed into the Haicheng delegation's exhibition area. We've just set up a special area. Let's move our things over there quickly."

As a result, all the products of the entire Jiangcheng delegation were moved to the new exhibition area.

It's similar to Haicheng here; the bright light makes the straw handicrafts seem to have a layer of shimmering light on them.

It's better to have your own exhibition area.

Otherwise, it always feels like I owe the manager a favor.

After seeing, eating, and tasting everything, Mr. Liu, the Hong Kong businessman, was the first to come over and ask who could sign a contract with him.
Old Zhou rubbed his hands together excitedly; this was a great start!
Keep in mind that the trade fair had only been going on for a little over two hours, and according to past practice, contracts would not be signed until the following day.

Lu Qiaoge stepped forward and handed him the contract, which had been printed in advance and had been approved by higher authorities. The price column was blank.

This needs to be negotiated by both parties.

The price definitely can't be set too low.

However, no one cares about the price now; this new product has shocked them greatly, and it can be said that it is the only one of its kind in the world.

Think about what kind of concept this is.
If you buy something expensive, you'll naturally sell it for a higher price.

They never do business at a loss.

The contract between General Manager Liu and Brother Qiao was signed smoothly.

This order is for 100,000 bags.

Old Zhou did the math. According to the profit calculation method Qiao Ge gave him, this bag would net him 1.5 yuan. So, not counting the sales volume, he would net 150,000 yuan today.

Old Zhou staggered slightly after finishing the calculations.

Because there are others in line who need to sign orders.

The question now is whether Xiangyang Food Factory, that small street food factory, can produce it.

Looking at the calm and composed Lu Qiaoge, Old Zhou suddenly felt relieved. This girl never fights a battle unprepared. Why should he worry about it? Just watch her make the arrangements.

When Zhen Xi arrived to support Lu Qiaoge, she was met with a thick stack of contracts.

Lu Qiaoge said, "I've reserved 200,000 yuan worth of goods for you, but that's all we can offer. If you want to order more, you'll have to wait until next year."

The secretary was taken aback: "What? The orders are booked until next year?"
