Start with a Cat and Mouse Game

Chapter 1313: In any era there are introversion

When Angela saw a set of 24 built-in paintings of various cats at a counter selling snuff bottles, she immediately exclaimed and shouted to buy them all.

To be honest, Li Changheng himself was amazed by the paintings inside the snuff bottle, and then he immediately thought that if he customized the perfume crystal bottle with Western-style head portraits or landscape paintings of insects and birds, it would be popular with women like Annie who don't care about money.

Hearing that Li Changheng wanted to order 10 crystal perfume bottles with interior painting, Ran Xinmin's eyes lit up.

While busy nodding, I couldn't help but feel annoyed. People like myself only thought that few people used snuff bottles, and the inner paintings would soon be unable to pass on, but they didn't turn their eyes to the bigger market abroad.

After finding a master craftsman who made snuff bottles, the other party hesitated for a long time before asking tentatively, "How about $200 a piece?"

Li Changheng listened to this old master who obviously only understands the domestic market and has no idea of ​​foreign luxury goods and said with a smile, "No problem, but you have to understand that what I want is a crystal perfume bottle, not a snuff bottle."

If it is just a glass bottle, $200 must be a high price. After all, the market for interior paintings is very small, both at home and abroad.

But if the crystal bottle had to be carved out of a whole block of crystal with excellent color, the cost would not be low.

Based on the current exchange rate, more than 310 Chinese coins are really not expensive.

Li Changheng even suspected that the old master had no intention of making money.

No, private individuals are not allowed to do business these days, that is to say, they have an iron rice bowl, and the most important thing is to get an order and do something.

It would be even better if I could earn some foreign exchange.

However, Li Changheng understands that things that don't cost money are actually not so easy to get.

At least after Annie uses it, it will inevitably spread in a small circle in the London aristocratic circle, and then expand to the rich wife's circle.

Once it is favored by luxury goods in England, the number of orders is definitely not small. Maybe someone will specially launch a perfume in a crystal bottle with inner painting.

Even if there are only three to five hundred orders per year, it is enough to support several interior painting masters and dozens of apprentices.

This can be regarded as helping a craft in the Mainland to find a new outlet.

Not to mention that as long as foreign exchange can be created at this time, the country is definitely willing to use the establishment to recruit people.

Just like when Li Changheng and Annie got married a few years ago, they purchased thousands of pieces of Suzhou embroidery from the mainland, which has made Suzhou embroidery a traditional project that focuses on development.

It's not that Li Changheng boasted, because he definitely supported dozens or hundreds of Suzhou embroidery masters.

Ran Xinmin and others who also thought of this point, when they heard Li Changheng talk about the perfume bottle, thought about it carefully, it seemed that they could really give it a try.

The cost is nothing more than some crystals. For state-owned enterprises, it is really just a report to apply for a batch of raw materials.

After this matter was known by the higher authorities, many people who had been studying Li Changheng immediately felt that it could be done.

And as a thank you, I also wanted to come up with some new ideas from Li Changheng's head. When parting, Ran Xinmin actually gave him a half-slap-sized Hetian mutton jade jade plaque.

Li Changheng happily took it over and looked at it for a while, and found that although this piece of jade is not an antique, but with the craftsmanship of the master craftsman, the suet jade plate in his hand can be sold in Hong Kong Island, and it can be sold for hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, or A Hong Kong Island house of 8 to 90 square meters.

After several decades, the value must have increased by more than a hundred times.

After thinking for a while, Li Changheng said with a thought, "I remember that many families with good conditions in the island country basically have a Buddhist altar.

The price also ranges from tens, hundreds to thousands of dollars. As long as you can not be inferior to similar products in island countries in terms of craftsmanship, and lower the price by more than 30%, I think it is no problem to export tens of thousands of Buddhist niches every year. "

Ran Xinmin's face was overjoyed, this suet jade was really worth it.

But some people couldn't help being puzzled and suspicious. Of course, Li Changheng could see the scruples and worries of these people.

He smiled and said, "How about I let the company on the island country buy a batch from you and try it first?"

Before Ran Xinmin could speak, someone said first, "Of course that's the best."

Li Changheng secretly laughed inwardly, this was giving Yumiko an extra income that could earn millions of dollars a year.

However, this business will not last long. Not to mention that the mainland will be reluctant to let the middleman's price difference be earned by others, even the islanders will be moved by the wind and start placing orders in the mainland.

After three to five years, there will inevitably be a fierce price war.

However, the engraving products in the mainland almost disappeared from the island countries, mainly due to cost in addition to technology.

Even the prices of handmade products in the mainland were once lower than those produced by machines. How does this make the islanders play?

Afterwards, the islanders started to play protectionism. That’s not counting. After the businessmen of the island countries got in touch with more masters and related enterprises in the mainland, they began to play legal games.

Forced the inland people to fight price wars.

But at that time, it had nothing to do with me, and I had no ability to stop other people's thoughts.

Moreover, such things as suffering losses are always unavoidable in the field of foreign trade, and only when suffering losses can progress be made.

Patting Ran Xinmin on the arm, "Don't worry, it's actually easy to make money, but it's not so easy to keep the market."

Others thought that what Li Changheng said was not to rush, to tell them not to rush for success, but Ran Xinmin instantly understood that this was a reminder to himself that the Buddhist altar business might not be that simple.

But in the face of Li Changheng's annual foreign exchange income of tens of millions of dollars, not to mention the fierce price war, he can't make much money, even if he engages in export subsidies, there are many provinces that want foreign exchange.

Let's talk about the practice of doing a good job in the early stage and leaving after the project is on the right track, that is called retiring after success.

If you enter a new project again, it is called courage to take responsibility and forge ahead.

And Li Changheng has just been a capitalist for too long, and the last thing he wants to do is lose money in business.

The 747 flew to Hong Kong Island first, and when I got off the plane, I saw that there were many more people coming to pick up the plane.

Even Yan Tong, who hasn't been back to Hong Kong Island for many years, rushed back from Thailand.

After dealing with local celebrities in Hong Kong Island who wanted to hear some news from him, Li Changheng had time to chat with Yan Tong, Chen Xijiu, and Li Jiayuan who looked like a younger brother.

But after talking about it, there is actually nothing to say. Let them bring technology and capital back to the mainland to build factories. Basically, they can win with similar products in South Asian countries with their eyes closed.

Yan Tong is a shrewd person, seeing that Li Changheng had nothing to say, he immediately understood that it was a long time since we met, and although the friendship was still there, the relationship was still estranged.

Without hesitation, he said that he wanted to enter the scooter and cargo three-wheeler business.

Instead, Li Changheng became interested. Although motorcycles are only two-wheeled and three-wheeled, they can also be called vehicles.

You don't need to think carefully about the risks of this project, you know that it is very big, and those who dare to play with cars are not ordinary people.
