Chapter 1043
Meng Haisheng and Lin Mucheng stayed in Mexico for more than two weeks. They were both very surprised by what they saw and heard in Mexico.
Meng Haisheng looked at the prosperous cities in Mexico, which were at least ten or twenty years ahead of China in terms of high technology, and felt very complicated.
While Lin Mucheng looked at the expensive clothes on the streets, she secretly made up her mind that she must sell Nichang's clothes to Mexico and earn their US dollars.
Yan Ning and Mu Zi's school had already started. Although they were a little reluctant, they could only take a private plane to return to Switzerland first.
This trip to Mexico made the two of them feel like they had been injected with chicken blood. As soon as they returned to Switzerland, they started working frantically.
Especially Lin Mucheng, her factory is in China. In the past few years, she has expanded the scale of the factory with Meng Haisheng, and the productivity of the clothing factory is very impressive.
If they can take on large orders from Mexico, sales will definitely increase by leaps and bounds.
As soon as Lin Mucheng returned to Switzerland, she called a domestic clothing company and asked the company to send a sales team to Mexico.
This time, we must get more large orders for ready-made clothes instead of those orders for processing with supplied materials.
Processing with supplied materials does not make much money. For garment factories, it is equivalent to selling cheap labor.
But ready-made clothes orders are different. A piece of clothing worth a few dollars can be instantly turned into a few dollars after crossing the ocean to Mexico. The profit of tens of dollars is very considerable.
And it can also create foreign exchange for the country, which is simply a great thing to kill two birds with one stone.
"Wife, why are you suddenly so motivated?"
Meng Haisheng was stunned when he heard that Lin Muching sent a sales team to Mexico without considering the cost.
In the past, Lin Muching liked to do business steadily and step by step.
She rarely rushed forward without considering the cost like now.
A sales team went to Mexico, not to mention the round-trip air tickets, just the food, clothing, housing and transportation in Mexico, which is a very large expense, and Lin Muching also asked them to take a lot of samples to participate in various trade fairs, which cost even more.
"In my previous impression, Mexico was just more developed than us, and about the same as Europe."
"But after going there this time, I realized that I was really wrong. Their prices are much higher than ours. At this time, doing import and export trade with Mexico, it would be a lot of money."
Meng Haisheng looked at Lin Mucheng's beaming face and didn't know what to say.
His wife was too late to realize it.
He and Teng Ze started doing import and export trade a long time ago, especially Teng Ze recently cooperated with Meng Tanqing to import computers and computer accessories, which really made a lot of money. He, a big boss, was envious.
"Wife, just go ahead and do it boldly. If the garment factory is short of funds, let Lan Youlin transfer it to you. The sewing machine factory and the motorcycle factory have made a lot of money recently, and the working capital on the books is still very sufficient."
"Wait until I get a few big orders from Mexico first. If there is insufficient funds or sewing machines, Boss Meng will have to help."
"Okay, okay."
Meng Haisheng is a veteran in trade and is familiar with all kinds of details.
He was afraid that Lin Muching would encounter scammers or contract traps when he first did business with Mexico, so he specially transferred four lawyers familiar with international trade from the Fourth Continent Group to help Lin Muching read the contract.
The reason why Meng Haisheng did this was completely his habit of doing business for many years, not a sudden whim.
He would rather trouble himself than fall into a contract trap.
Originally, this matter was just a precaution, but he didn't expect that the lawyer would call Meng Haisheng a week later.
They received 10 trade contracts, two of which were fraudulent, one was fraudulent, and two were too risky to sign, which was extremely disadvantageous to them.
Only 5 of the 10 contracts were serious about cooperating with Lin Muching.
Looking at this result, Meng Haisheng was not surprised. This is how trade is. Few foreign traders have credibility.
The first hurdle in cooperating with them is the contract issue. If the contract cannot be passed, various problems will arise in the subsequent cooperative companies.
Meng Haisheng has been doing business for a long time and has become accustomed to these things, but Lin Muching is a novice in this regard.
In the past, most of the European orders were either run by her or introduced by Bai Junning.
Lin Muching herself is a designer. Most of the orders she ran in Europe were from clothing companies that she had contact with. When everyone cooperated, at least from the beginning, they did not want to deliberately frame each other.
But it was different in Mexico. Everyone was a complete stranger. Even if Lin Mucheng had sent a sales team to talk directly with the clothing company, she could easily fall into the trap.In all kinds of traps.
In 1995, the trade between China and Mexico was not very frequent. Asian faces like them were very easy to deceive in the eyes of a group of foreigners.
In Meng Haisheng's study, Lin Mucheng felt a little heavy. She held a stack of contracts in her hand and read them again and again. She didn't know what to say.
"Haisheng, this is too exaggerated. 5 out of 10 contracts were not qualified. I just asked the sales staff. They took the contracts back to negotiate with the Mexican clothing company, but they didn't change the contract at all and didn't even want the goods."
"We have been in contact with them for nearly a week. Our sales staff are about to vomit after drinking coffee. They just said no and they don't want it. They really have no credibility at all."
Lin Mucheng's mood these two days has been jumping up and down like a roller coaster.
At the beginning, she felt like she was injected with chicken blood. She felt that her clothes would soon open up the market in Mexico.
After all, the price she gave for clothes of the same style and fabric was cheaper than the factory price of Mexico's own production.
In this case, there is no reason for the trading company not to want her goods.
Just when she was full of confidence, the Mexican trader gave her a blow.
"It's better not to sign such a contract. Even if you reluctantly sign it, various problems will arise later. By then, the money you earn may not be enough to pay for the phone bills."
"Then the workload of my sales team will increase sharply. Who knows which company is sincere and which company just wants to deliberately cheat us of the compensation."
Lin Muching still leaned on the sofa helplessly.
She really didn't expect that some companies seemed very enthusiastic on the surface, but the contracts they signed were all pitfalls. If you don't step on it well, not only will you have to give the goods away for free, but you will also have to compensate for the losses of others.
People who do business like this are not afraid of being struck by lightning.
Meng Haisheng looked at the anxious Lin Muching and comforted her warmly.
"Wife, why don't we do the clothing business in Mexico? You are doing well in Europe now. You can attend clothing exhibitions and fashion shows when you have nothing to do. Your life will be fulfilling and comfortable. It is better than cooperating with those dishonest traders in Mexico."
Meng Haisheng really didn't want Lin Mucheng to tire him out. They were not short of money. Even if Lin Mucheng was a full-time housewife at home and did nothing, Meng Haisheng could still support her.
