Chapter 86: Snagged 10,000 Flying Pig Popcorn Buckets In Stock!
Originally, Wang Xiaobai didn’t have much hope for this business that came knocking on her door.
After all, she was the salesperson.
Before she even made a move, the business found its way to her – does that make sense?
Isn’t that turning things upside down!
On the way driving to Jiang Family Village, looking at the farmlands and rural scenery on both sides of the provincial road.
Wang Xiaobai couldn’t help but wonder if she was being played.
Several times she wanted to turn back to Ping County, but she held back.
Since she was already here, she decided to go take a look, treating it as a trip to the countryside to relax!
When she drove to the village entrance of Jiang Family Village, it happened to be the village market day.
Both sides of the street were filled with stalls selling lanterns, couplets, various frozen goods, and New Year goods.
Even electric scooters couldn’t get through, let alone cars.
Wang Xiaobai parked her car on the roadside and first called Jiang Tao to let him know she had arrived at the village entrance.
Then, she got out of the car carrying her company’s product, waiting for Jiang Tao to come out and pick her up.
The houses in the rural area lacked distinct features, so Wang Xiaobai couldn’t really find Jiang Tao’s house.
After waiting for about ten minutes after getting out of the car, just as Wang Xiaobai’s patience was wearing thin.
A tall, handsome man approached her.
“You must be Wang Xiaobai? I’m Jiang Tao. Thank you for coming.”
Based on Wang Xiaobai’s description, Jiang Tao easily found her in the crowd.
The people at the market in Jiang Family Village were villagers from the surrounding areas, and most of them wore black or dark-colored clothing.
With her long white down jacket and the gift bag with Nezha the Magic Boy painted on it in her hand, Wang Xiaobai stood out and was easily recognizable.
“Hello, Mr. Jiang! I am Wang Xiaobai, it’s an honor to meet you!”
Wang Xiaobai recognized Jiang Tao’s voice and quickly greeted him with a smile.
Even if the business might not go through, Jiang Tao was still a potential client, so she had to maintain an enthusiastic attitude.
“You must have been waiting for a while. Let’s go, I’ll take you to my place first, and we can talk more once we get home.”
Jiang Tao nodded to Wang Xiaobai and then turned to lead the way, weaving through the crowd towards his house.
Seeing so many people on the street, Wang Xiaobai didn’t have to worry about Jiang Tao kidnapping her for anything bad.
Along the way, Jiang Tao smiled and greeted many acquaintances.
The two walked one after another and arrived at Jiang Tao’s house in 5 minutes.
Seeing the brand-new Beijing-plated Mercedes-Benz GLS parked at the entrance.
Wang Xiaobai suddenly felt a surge of confidence about this deal!
This latest model, the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLS450, costs over 1 million yuan after all expenses!
The boss of Wang Xiaobai’s company drives the same model!
Someone who can afford a luxury car worth over a million yuan is definitely among the top echelon in Ping County!
This Mr. Jiang is quite low-key!
As Wang Xiaobai was slightly stunned looking at the Mercedes-Benz GLS.
A figure appeared at the large entrance, a woman riding an electric scooter with a little girl on the back.
The woman had delicate features and skin so fair and translucent it was almost glowing.
She had a slender and tall figure, but with ample curves, easily twice her own.
In front of Xu Li, Wang Xiaobai couldn’t help but feel a sense of inferiority.
“Honey, I’m taking Xiao Xue to the market for a bit, you two talk.”
Xu Li greeted Jiang Tao and Wang Xiaobai with a smile, then rode away on her scooter with Jiang Xue, who was sucking on a lollipop in the back.
This Big Shot, this Mr. Jiang is definitely a true Big Shot!
Driving a million-dollar luxury car and having such a beautiful wife, these are all symbols of strength!
At this moment, Wang Xiaobai had already automatically pictured Mr. Jiang as a successful individual returning to his hometown for the Spring Festival.
In this instant, Wang Xiaobai felt the success rate of today’s business had soared by a large margin!
Perhaps, it could really be negotiated!
Following Jiang Tao through the gate, they entered the house.
Seeing that the house was decorated in a simple and ordinary way, Wang Xiaobai once again marveled at the Big Shot’s low-key demeanor.
Little did she know, the Big Shot she had in mind was heavily indebted from building his house previously.
It wasn’t that the Big Shot wanted to be low-key, it was that he couldn’t afford to be high-profile even if he wanted to.
“Make yourself at home.”
Jiang Tao led Wang Xiaobai to the living room, invited her to sit, and poured her a cup of tea.
“Thank you, Mr. Jiang.”
Wang Xiaobai was even more polite to Jiang Tao than she had been on the phone.
“Did you bring the product?”
After receiving the intelligence, Jiang Tao had only searched for images online.
He hadn’t seen the actual Flying Pig Popcorn Bucket yet.
“I brought it, I brought it, it’s right here, Mr. Jiang, please take a look.”
Wang Xiaobai quickly took out two Flying Pig Popcorn Buckets, with Nezha the Magic Boy riding a flying pig, from the gift bag she was carrying and handed them to Jiang Tao.
“The workmanship is quite good, and after eating the popcorn, it can be used as an ornament, or a key box, or something.”
Jiang Tao took the popcorn bucket and played with it carefully, finding the design somewhat interesting.
The clumsy and cute appearance of the Flying Pig was also very endearing.
It’s likely that even the manufacturer who designed and produced this product wouldn’t have imagined that such a popcorn bucket could bring in a windfall after the movie premiere!
This piece of intelligence related to the popcorn bucket reminded Jiang Tao of the highly sought-after Bing Dwen Dwen during the Winter Olympics a few years ago.
At a specific point in time, due to a specific event, a product suddenly becomes incredibly popular – there are quite a few such examples.
However, such random events are difficult for ordinary people to predict.
If the manufacturer of this Flying Pig Popcorn Bucket could foresee that in the next few days, this product would become a hot seller and its price would skyrocket seven or eightfold.
They would probably not be in a hurry to sell it now and would definitely adopt a “hoard and sell sparingly” strategy.
“Manager Wang.”
After admiring the popcorn bucket, Jiang Tao looked at Wang Xiaobai, ready to discuss business.
“Ahem, Mr. Jiang, you can just call me Xiao Wang, I’m just a small salesperson.”
“Haha, Xiao Wang it is then.”
“Xiao Wang, how much stock do you have of this product, and what’s the lowest price you can offer?”
Jiang Tao didn’t waste time with Wang Xiaobai and got straight to the point.
“Mr. Jiang, I have a total of 10,200-plus pieces.”
“The lowest I can offer is 23 yuan per piece.”
Wang Xiaobai didn’t mind Jiang Tao calling her “Xiao Wang” and respectfully quoted him a price.
If Jiang Tao could take all this stock, she wouldn’t care if he called her “Xiao Wang” or something worse, she would accept it.
“To be honest, Mr. Jiang, besides the raw material cost for this popcorn bucket, we also have to pay royalties to the copyright holder.”
“Realistically, our ex-factory cost is already as high as 15 yuan, leaving a profit of only 7 yuan per unit.”
“This product, when sold with popcorn, has a suggested retail price of 55 yuan, offering a considerable profit margin.”
“When cooperating with movie theaters, the price for under 1000 units is around 35 yuan, and for 2000 units…”
Wang Xiaobai patiently analyzed the market positioning and pricing of this Flying Pig Popcorn Bucket she brought.
It was evident that she was eager to close the deal to have peace of mind for the Spring Festival, and she showed great sincerity.
“20 yuan per piece, if you can do that, I’ll take all the stock you have.”
After listening to Wang Xiaobai’s explanation, Jiang Tao gave the purchase price mentioned by System Brother in the intelligence.
He figured this price must be Wang Xiaobai’s bottom line.
“…”
Upon hearing Jiang Tao’s offer, Wang Xiaobai let out a sigh in her heart.
A Big Shot is indeed a Big Shot; their grasp of negotiation pace and price control is incredibly precise!
He guessed her bottom price right away!
“Mr. Jiang, please wait a minute or two, a salesperson at my level cannot make a decision at the price you mentioned.”
“I’ll call my leader to ask if we can make any further concessions on the price.”
“Alright, go ahead.”
Jiang Tao smiled and nodded, a confident expression of victory on his face.
“Please wait…”
Wang Xiaobai got up from the sofa, walked out of the living room, down the steps, and into the courtyard.
Then, she took out her mobile phone and pretended to make a call.
Three minutes later, Wang Xiaobai returned to the living room, her face beaming with excitement:
“Mr. Jiang, our leader has approved. We can offer you the price of 20 yuan per piece.”
“And, we’ll include the extra 200-plus pieces for free!”
