Start with a Cat and Mouse Game

Chapter 1313: There are introverts in any era

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

To be honest, Li Changheng himself was amazed by the painting inside the snuff bottle, and then he immediately thought that if he made a custom perfume crystal bottle and painted a Western-style portrait of a character or a landscape painting of insects and birds, it should be popular with women like Annie who don't care about money.

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

While busy nodding, I can't help but feel annoyed in my heart. These people only think that there are not many people using snuff bottles, and the inner painting will not be passed on soon, but they have not looked at the larger market abroad.

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

Li Changheng said with a smile, listening to this old master who obviously only understands domestic market conditions and has no concept of foreign luxury goods, "No problem, but you must understand that I want a crystal perfume bottle, not a snuff bottle."

If it's just a glass bottle, $200 is definitely a high price. After all, the market for interior painting is very small, both at home and abroad.

However, if the crystal bottle has to be carved from a whole block of crystal of excellent color, the cost is not low.

Calculated at the current exchange rate, more than 310 Tianchao coins are really not expensive.

Li Changheng even suspected that the old master did not intend to make money.

No, private people can't do business these days, which means that people eat iron rice bowls, and it's the most important thing to get orders and do something.

If you can earn a little more foreign exchange, that would be even better.

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

At least after Anne uses it, it will inevitably spread in a small circle of London nobles, and then expand to the circle of rich wives.

Once the luxury goods in England take a fancy to, the number of orders is definitely not small, maybe someone will launch a special crystal bottle perfume.

Even if there are only 300 to 500 orders every year, it is enough to support one or several interior painting masters and dozens of apprentices.

This can also be regarded as helping a craft in the mainland find a new way out.

Not to mention that as long as foreign exchange can be created at this time, the country will definitely be 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 Su embroidery from the mainland, which has made Su embroidery a key traditional item for development.

It's not that Li Changheng is boasting, because he definitely supports dozens or hundreds of masters of Su embroidery.

Ran Xinmin and others who also thought of this, when they heard Li Changheng talking about the perfume bottle, they thought about it carefully and it seemed that they could 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 was known from above, many people who had been studying Li Changheng immediately felt that they could do it.

And as a thank you, he also thought of taking out some new ideas from Li Changheng's head. When he parted, Ran Xinmin actually gave him a half-slap-sized Hetian mutton jade plaque.

Li Changheng happily took it and looked at it for a while, and found that although this jade is not an antique, but with the craftsmanship of the master, the suet jade brand in his hand was sold on Hong Kong Island, how could it be sold for hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, or A set of 8 and 90 square meters of Hong Kong Island houses.

After a few decades, the value will inevitably increase by more than a hundred times.

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

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

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

But some people can't help but doubt and doubt, Li Changheng can certainly see the scruples and worries of these people.

With a smile, he said, "How about I let the company over there in the island country buy a batch from you and try it first?"

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

Li Changheng smiled inwardly, this was giving Yumiko a bonus that could earn several million dollars a year.

However, this business will not last for a long time. Not to mention that the mainland will be reluctant to make the difference between the middlemen and others, even the islanders will follow the wind and start placing orders in the country.

Three or five years later, it will inevitably be a fierce price war.

The island country carvers almost disappeared from the mainland carving products, relying not only on technology, but also on cost.

Even the prices of handmade products in the mainland were once lower than those produced by machines. What did the islanders do?

Afterwards, the islanders began to play protectionism. This is not to mention. After the businessmen of the island countries had more contact with the masters and related enterprises in the mainland, they began to play legal games.

Forcing the mainland's own people to engage in a price war.

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

Moreover, this kind of thing can never be avoided in the field of foreign trade, and only when it suffers can we make progress.

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

Others just thought that Li Changheng said don't be in a hurry, to tell them not to be in a hurry, but Ran Xinmin instantly understood that this was reminding himself that the business of Buddhist altars might not be that simple.

But in the face of Li Changheng's annual foreign exchange income of tens of millions of dollars, let alone a fierce price war, there is not much money to be made. Even if there is an export subsidy, the provinces want foreign exchange.

Besides, if the preliminary work is done well, and the project starts to enter the right track, then it is called quitting.

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

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

747 flew to Hong Kong Island first, and when I got off the plane, I saw a lot of people coming to pick up the plane.

Even Yan Tong, who has not been back to Hong Kong Island for many years, rushed back from Thailand.

After dealing with local celebrities on Hong Kong Island who want to hear some news from him~lightnovelpub.net~ Li Changheng has time to chat with Yan Tong, Chen Xijiu, and Li Jiayuan, who is a self-proclaimed 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, and basically they can win similar products from South Asian countries with their eyes closed.

Yan Tongduo is a shrewd person. Seeing that Li Changheng has nothing to say, he immediately understands that this is a long time without seeing each other. Although the friendship is still there, the relationship is still unfamiliar.

Don't hesitate to say that you want to get into the scooter and cargo three-wheeler business.

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

The risks of this project do not need to be thought carefully, you know that the risks are very large, and the people who dare to play with cars are not ordinary people.
