My Realistic Simulation Game

Chapter 120 Sir, we do not accept Chinese people here.

Qin Yuan laughed heartily upon hearing what Binzi and Wu Weiguo had brought back.

“Alright, let him take a look if he wants. We’ll bring the ‘scrap steel’ back later, and Weiguo, you can invite that Director Liu over so he can have a good look at it.”

Qin Yuan could naturally guess what Director Liu was thinking; seeing is believing, after all, only then could he make up his mind.

It's okay, he doesn't mind having another traveler.

Moreover, his business of reselling construction machinery is a one-off deal.

Keep Zhao Shanhe calm and just let him bleed a little from Zhao Dadan's hands.

His main business was clearly planned from the very beginning.

That is legal and compliant import and export trade.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Two-thirds of the goods in the warehouse have been wholesaled.

Of the more than 50,000 pairs of jeans and 8,000 leather jackets, all but 4,000 leather jackets were sold out wholesale.

Because it was foreign trade, Qin Yuan offered a tricky price.

Jeans are 150 yuan a pair, and leather jackets are 450 yuan a pair.

This price is almost the same as the price of ordinary domestic jeans and leather jackets on the market.

However, it's far less expensive than Levi's jeans, which often cost between 280 and 350 yuan.

Because of the limited sales volume, most of Levi's leather motorcycle jackets on the market are smuggled from Hong Kong Island or brought in by foreigners.

Therefore, the price is often between 1500 and 3000.

The 1500s and 3000s in the 1990s.

This shows how exaggerated the brand is; even so, demand still exceeds supply.

There was no way around it; even in the 1990s, the gap between the rich and the poor was still quite large.

For ordinary working people, clothes costing one or two thousand yuan represent a year's salary.

But for wealthy people, being able to buy an authentic American leather jacket that others can't get is worth it.

Although there is a premium involved.

But everyone knows that Levi's clothes are expensive.

Qin Yuan named his clothing brand Jeanswest to capitalize on the brand's popularity.

The resellers, however, didn't think the price was expensive at all; they bought as many jeans and leather jackets as they were allocated.

The reason is simple: one is because of the brand "Jeanswest".

Secondly, they compared the quality and style of clothing from the brands "Jeanswest" and "Levi's".

While the quality of materials used is almost identical, Jeanswest even surpasses it in visual presentation.

Moreover, this is a product exported to the Soviet Union, so there is enough room for a premium here.

In addition, they are not doing one-off deals.

Qin Yuan has a stable supply of goods, and the quantity is large enough. Once the brand's reputation is established, they will not lack market share at all.

Therefore, even though the profit of ten times was reduced to four times.

But this is much more profitable than the hundreds or thousands of cheap jeans and fake leather jackets that keep tearing from the south that they went to great lengths to import.

Therefore, the five first-level distributors and thirty-three second-level distributors did not hesitate at all; they all bought up their quotas.

Watching the last second-tier distributor leave.

Qin Yuan and his team started calculating their total revenue.

The result was surprising; I was shocked when I calculated it.

This first batch of goods directly brought in a total revenue of 930 million.

Make a lot of money.

If we add the more than three million yuan I earned in Shenzhen and the original three million yuan in cash, this would be even better.

Far East Trade already has over 15 million yuan in cash on its books.

Even within China, this is already a behemoth that cannot be underestimated.

Inside the warehouse, Gangzi, Binzi, Magan'er, Wu Weiguo, and Lao Zhangtou were looking at the large amount of money piled up in one place.

Their eyes widened in surprise.

This isn't rubles, it's genuine Chinese yuan.

"My God, this is the first time I've ever seen so much money?"

Gangzi swallowed hard.

Binzi also lost his composure and his breathing became rapid.

The others weren't much better off either.

Ma Gan'er licked his dry lips: "Brother Yuan, there are still four thousand Jeanswest leather jackets in the warehouse. What should we do with them? The distributors who just left are all eyeing these goods and want us to sell them all."

"Don't touch this batch of goods yet." Qin Yuan had long since passed the moment of excitement. He looked at Gangzi calmly and said, "Gangzi, you drive the car and load this batch of goods directly into the railcar we've chartered at the train station, and send it onto the train first."

"Moscow needs enough goods to fill the market; Jianhua and his team are itching for more!"

Everyone laughed when they heard Qin Yuan's joke.

"Binzi, have they contacted you from Guangdong? Where is their car?"

Binzi immediately replied, "They are transported by train. The timetable is 3:25 PM. If there are no delays, they will have about two hours left."

"Two hours." Qin Yuan nodded. "Okay, let's deliver the goods from the warehouse first."

At his command, Wu Weiguo led the pre-arranged transport team into action.

This shipment was originally intended for a transport team carrying tens of thousands of pieces of clothing, but moving these four thousand jackets didn't take much effort at all.

Qin Yuan, meanwhile, began plotting to spend the fifteen million. He took Markov and Magan'er by car to East Chang'an Avenue.

Looking at everything familiar around him, Qin Yuan felt a strange sense of returning to a familiar place.

"Brother Yuan, what's wrong?"

"I'm so stupid," Ma Gan asked, looking at Qin Yuan who was in a daze.

Qin Yuan snapped out of his daze and waved his hand, "Come on, let's go inside first."

He joined a company with a storefront called the China World Trade Center Investment Promotion Department.

Although its main building is located on Jianguomenwai Street, the investment promotion department is located on East Chang'an Avenue.

China World Mall, no, at that time it was still called China World Shopping Mall.

It opened in August this year, and the initial specifications were set at an extremely high level.

It is positioned as Yanjing's first high-end commercial complex and a core part of the first phase of the "China World Trade Center" project.

This demonstrates the high level of importance attached to it by higher authorities.

"Sir, we do not accept Chinese people here."

The moment I stepped inside, the receptionist delivered a devastating blow.

Two women, each about 1.7 meters tall, dressed smartly and fashionably, blocked the way for Qin Yuan and his two companions.

However, when they saw Markov behind Qin Yuan, their expressions changed and they paused slightly.

He glanced at Qin Yuan, then at Markov, and hesitated before asking in English, "Sir, what can I do for you?"

Qin Yuan never expected that the identity of "Master Jing" would one day become invalid.

"I am Chinese, I want to see your manager."

Qin Yuan spoke in standard Mandarin.

The two receptionists were dumbfounded and had no idea what was going on.

He is Chinese, and it's obvious at a glance that he is a Chinese person of extremely high status.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be foreigners working as bodyguards.

This is extremely rare in the entire city of Yanjing.

But their China World Trade Center is a Sino-foreign joint venture, and the companies they want to attract are international brands.

Qin Yuan and his group were clearly not in this category.

The two women exchanged a glance, still unsure of what to do.

Seeing that Qin Yuan was clearly someone they couldn't afford to offend, they hesitated for a moment, then immediately turned back to the front desk, picked up the phone, and asked their superiors for instructions.

Qin Yuan wasn't in a hurry. He was well aware of the status of foreign-funded enterprises in China during the 1990s.

That's practically the level of an emperor emeritus.

As a local businessman, the fact that he wasn't kicked out of such a high-end international venue is all thanks to the suit he was wearing and his foreign bodyguard, Markov.

A moment later, a middle-aged man in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses hurried over.

He first invited Qin Yuan into the reception room, then had a pot of fine tea served before speaking politely: "Hello, sir, I am the manager here. Are you here in the China World Trade Center to apply for a lease or is there something you would like to consult?"

“I know that the China World Trade Center will open in August and is currently recruiting tenants, so I came here specifically for this purpose.”

Qin Yuan didn't beat around the bush and directly stated the purpose of his trip.

Upon hearing that it was a merchant coming to move in, the manager visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hello, this is the situation. Our investment promotion at the China World Trade Center targets high-end foreign businesses, primarily international brands and Hong Kong-funded enterprises. We currently have no plans to attract local businesses."

He kindly suggested, "If you want to open a store in the core business district of Yanjing, I suggest you rent an independent shop near shopping malls like Wangfujing, Xidan, or Dongdan. The cost-effectiveness will be much better."

Ha, that’s interesting.

People can indeed laugh when they are speechless.

Qin Yuan smiled. Before he could even introduce himself or mention his brand store name, he was already given an even better "plan".

How could he not know that there are prime shops for rent in Wangfujing, Xidan, and Dongdan?
But he chose to come to the China World Trade Center. Why?
They're just here to set a high standard.

The targets of investment promotion in the China World Trade Center are either luxury brands like LV and Starbucks, or Hong Kong-funded brands like Giordano and Goldlion.

What's the fastest way for a clothing brand to build brand awareness?

Nothing more than the big store model and advertising.

Only when people see your store in a prime business district will they recognize your brand.

If you open your store alongside these other stores, the white-collar workers and middle-class people will naturally gravitate towards your store and brand as high-end!

Moreover, although the China World Trade Center has only been open for a short time, it has connections that reach the highest levels of government. The manager in front of him was appointed by the foreign trade and economic cooperation system.

In other words, the China World Mall has enormous potential, and joining now will greatly benefit both brand image and reputation.

In other words, he's investing heavily in building his brand and expanding into the domestic market, even if it means losing money in the early stages – it's all about investing in physical advertising!

"Manager Wu, right?" Qin Yuan glanced at the nameplate on the man's chest and interrupted him directly, "First of all, my name is Qin Yuan. You can call me Mr. Qin or Boss Qin, whatever you like."

"Secondly, the brand I own is called 'Jeanswest,' which is a clothing brand jointly established with the Hong Kong-based Fang Group."

Qin Yuan waved his hand, signaling Ma Gan'er to produce a series of supporting documents.

"Third, the rent and renovations will all be done to the highest standards, and there will be no problem."

At this point, Qin Yuan paused for a moment. Just then, Manager Wu also stopped reading the documents in his hand, looked up at Qin Yuan, and looked surprised.

"I have only one request: a shop on the first floor of the China World Mall, facing south."

"Yes, it's the biggest and most conspicuous one."

Qin Yuan said.
