Reborn Tokyo Golden Age

"Other people?" Bai Chuanfeng was surprised that someone else wanted to discuss business with him.

"That's right, I have to thank you for giving me this flashman.

It's really cool, and someone is interested in it. "

Yuris, who was already waiting outside the door for smoking, couldn't help but walked into the office to remind his boss again that they were about to be late!

Bai Chuanfeng raised his finger to his mouth, then pointed to the phone.

"Yeah, it's nice to hear that.

So James, who is interested in it, I am also interested in it. "

"Bai, I wonder if you have heard of marshalls?"

"Marshalls?" Bai Chuanfeng repeated.

Uris, who was standing next to him, immediately widened his eyes, and raised his hand to keep gesticulating.

"Yes, it's a department store, or even where I work.

Anyway, it's a bit complicated to say, Bai, if you're interested.

Come over when it's convenient, someone here wants to talk to you about this cute little business. "

"Oh, what a coincidence, I am very convenient now.

So James where should I find you? I can't wait~"

Bai Chuanfeng raised his wrist and gestured towards Uris, who nodded immediately, and then hurriedly walked to the office next door.

"Haha, I have to say, Bai, you are very humorous.

You are nothing like those cautious Asians. Uh, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean racist. I mean…"

"It's okay James, take it easy. I see what you mean and I love your enthusiasm.

Well I'm ready to call the taxi company now, so tell me the address and I'll be there in half an hour. "

"Man, I love how straightforward you are.

You tell the taxi companies those fucking bastards I'm waiting for them at the mall in the San Fernando Valley.

In addition, tell me another word, let their taxis stay away from my truck in the future, otherwise I will definitely make their ass bloom.

Bai, sorry, I didn't mean to target you. Those nasty guys overtake my car on the road every day..."

"Understood, understood." Bai Chuanfeng nodded again and again. He was afraid that if he didn't interrupt James, this guy could continue to complain for an hour.

"See you in thirty minutes, James, then."

"No problem, I can't wait to show you the wildness of Los Angeles and the passionate girls here."

After hanging up the phone, the buzzing in my ears finally calmed down.

Bai Chuanfeng let out a breath of relief, why didn't he realize that this guy was so good at talking when he was flying.

At this time, Yuris, who had just left, had reappeared.

"Have you called Target?"

"It's done. Coincidentally, they are also trying to inform us that the meeting is temporarily canceled due to an extra meeting today."

Yuris shrugged mockingly. Obviously, the rhetoric here was not ready yet, and the other party had already notified the cancellation of the meeting in advance.

What a coincidence, Bai Chuanfeng raised his eyebrows. Sure enough, you can't pin your hopes on an uncertain thing.

That being the case, let's put it away at Target first.

"Immediately go to the shopping center in San Fernando Valley. I made an appointment with the other party to see you in half an hour."

"Oh~" Uris showed a very connotative expression, "That's really a very exciting place."

"Energetic?" Bai Chuanfeng was a little confused.

"That's right, it's wild." Uris frowned wildly, "Boss, do you want to experience it?"

"We'll talk about the experience later, we need to arrive at that place within half an hour."

"Trust me, Boss, my driving skills will definitely surprise you."

If you take a taxi in the United States, of course you drive by yourself.

Along the way, Uris started to introduce the background of Marshall's Department Store to Bai Chuanfeng while activating the old driver's passive skills.

The department store had been established in 1924, before latecomers such as Wal-Mart and Target appeared.

Although it was taken over by latecomers and is not as big as them today, as an old-fashioned department store, it can still rank among the top four in the retail industry in the United States.

As a retail giant with hundreds of stores, its coverage and influence are beyond doubt.

Although it is not as good as Wal-Mart, the leader, it is more than enough for Baichuan Electric.

However, in 20 minutes, the car has arrived in the San Fernando Valley area, and the name sounds like a valley.

This is indeed the case, but this valley is astonishingly large, almost no different from the plain.

According to the address given by James, the "Marshalls" signboard with white characters on a blue background was seen far away on one side of the street.

A typical superstructure of a chain store, with a long row, elegant and neat.

There is a constant stream of people and cars at the entrance of the supermarket. It seems that the traffic here is good.

And the bearded James, who had met once on the plane before, was standing in front of the front hall of the supermarket and waving at them enthusiastically.

"James, I haven't seen you for a few days, your beard is getting more and more energetic."

"Haha, Bai, you really are a very humorous person."

James warmly gave Bai Chuanfeng a hug, and then shook hands with Uris behind him.

"James, is this where you work? Looks great."

Bai Chuanfeng raised his head and looked at this department store supermarket, the scale is really not small.

"Although this is not the place to hire me, I deal with it every day. It's not wrong to say that I work here."

After listening to James' explanation, Bai Chuanfeng finally understood what he meant.

As a truck driver of a freight company, James' task is to deliver goods to Marshall's department store every day.

Every time a supermarket buys in large quantities or goes to the dock to deliver goods, it is a driver like him who performs this job.

It's just that similar to outsourcing companies, drivers and trucks are provided by specialized freight companies.

So although James is not directly affiliated with Marshall's, he does deal with it every day.

As for why Marshall's is interested in Shirakawa's Walkman, that's why James waited for him here in advance.

"You mean, the marketing manager here saw your flashman.

So I experienced it once out of curiosity, and only then did I meet today? "

"That's right." James nodded excitedly, "As I said, Bai, no one refuses its charm."

Speaking of which, James raised his Walkman and shook it, extremely proud.

Bai Chuanfeng and Uris looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

"James, I have to say, it's a very wise decision to give you a Flashman."

Bai Chuanfeng also had to lament the wonder of fate. Is this the mountain and the river returning, the willows are dark and the flowers are bright?

"Bai, I'm the one to thank you. With it, I no longer have to endure the boring radio noise every time I'm on the road.

What a great experience to be able to listen to your favorite songs anytime, anywhere. "

Speaking of which, the three of them have arrived at the employee office of Marshall's Department Store.

"That's it for now, man. David's got a little greedy, but at least he's got credibility."

At the door of an office, James motioned them to follow the assistant to enter.

"See you later, James." Bai Chuanfeng made a phone call gesture to him, and the latter nodded with a smile.

Following the assistant into the office, a middle-aged man with a big belly was sitting with his back facing the window.

The Mediterranean had already taken over the entire sky cap, shining brightly against the windows.

"David Bob, welcome to Marshall."

Before Bai Chuanfeng and the others spoke, the other party had already warmly greeted them in advance.

"Bai Chuanfeng, just call me Bai." Bai Chuanfeng reached out to shake the other party's hand, and then handed over his business card.

"So, Mr. Bai, let's get straight to the point. Have you brought those lovely machines?"

As soon as he sat down, David rubbed his hands together impatiently and looked at them expectantly.

"Of course." Bai Chuanfeng winked at Uris, who immediately took out three Walkmans from his bag and placed them in front of David.

"Oh look, they're literally works of art.

It's unbelievable that such beautiful music comes from such a small body.

What a great invention, isn't it? "David fiddled with the three Walkmans fondly.

Touch this, look at that, each of them is very fond of him.

Bai Chuanfeng and Uris couldn't figure out what the other party was up to.

But they all nodded cautiously, approving his opinion.

"Well, gentlemen, let's talk about their worth."

David tried the three styles of Walkmans carefully, and he probably knew it in his heart.

"Here's the details of our products, here's about their pricing, and our offer."

Uris handed over the materials and product details of Baichuan Electric to the other party with a wink.

"$109, $149, $249, oh, it's a reasonable price, even a little unexpectedly cheap.

At least cheaper than your old rival, Sony. "

Obviously David had done enough homework on Shirakawa Electric before that, and he even had a clearer understanding of their relationship with Sony.

Bai Chuanfeng and Uris looked at each other again, this time their eyes were much more serious.

"We, Shirakawa Electric, are sincere in developing the US market, and we also have confidence in our products."

"I like your confidence, Bai.

But the quotation of 98, 130, 220 dollars is too expensive, I would rather you raise the price to increase the profit.

Instead of making such a high offer, you know, we at Marshall's buy in bulk.

There must be enough profit for me to choose your product. "

Once talking about business, David instantly became difficult.

This price was slightly raised by Bai Chuanfeng on the basis of the original quotation, otherwise there would be no room for a price reduction, and how would the business be negotiated later.

"I can understand you, Mr. David, but it's best to keep the pricing at the current level.

Moreover, our profit from such quotations is also very limited. After all, we still need to spend costs to load them into ocean-going freighters and transport them over. "

Bai Chuanfeng doesn't want to change the pricing strategy for the time being, it's about consumers' choice.

"That's your business, and you can build factories in the United States, so that all problems will be solved."

"Of course, we are considering this matter, provided that you, Mr. Bob, can let them enter Marshall."

"I still can't accept such a high offer..."

In the end, the two sides fought each other, and you came and I went back and forth for several rounds.

Bai Chuanfeng lowered the quotations to 94, 126, and 212 dollars respectively, and the other party reluctantly accepted such quotations.

Don't underestimate the difference of a few dollars. The difference between a large purchase and an entry is tens of millions of dollars.

"Bai, although Marshall can put your products on the shelves, there is an additional condition."

Just as the price was set, David changed the subject and made another request.

"Huh?" Bai Chuanfeng's expression tightened, and he cheered up immediately. "If you have any suggestions, please tell me."
