Chapter 290 Opposition


    After Jill and his group left, there were no outsiders and only the staff of the shipyard. Jiang Xia took the opportunity to suggest to Director Zhou that the price of Kent buckle and new anchors would be increased a little.


    "The Kent we produce is even better than that of Country D, so the price must be higher than theirs."


    "You get what you pay for. Don''t be afraid that no one will want good things. Foreign engines are advanced and refrigeration equipment are advanced. Do you think how much they will ask for money?"


    "I know that shipyards want to win at prices, but this is not a long-term solution. Since we now have more advanced technology than foreign countries, this product will be more expensive than theirs. Otherwise, foreign companies will only look down on our Kent Ring and our shipbuilding technology. Our shipyards can not only win at prices, but we can also win with technology."


    After just now, Director Zhou also knew that the price of Kent ring was to be increased a little, so he asked, "How much do you think a Kent ring should be sold?"


    Jiang Xia knew that it would cost 1,000 US dollars to import a Kent ring from Country D. It was so expensive and was often choked by the other party.


    She said, "I think the price should be based on the situation. For foreign businesses who do not order ships and only purchase Kent rings, the Kent ring cannot be less than 1,100 US dollars per. Of course, during the Zhexi Festival, you can offer a discount and open the market. For example, the original price is 1,100 US dollars per one, and during the Zhexi Festival, it is 1,078 US dollars per one. For foreign businesses who order ships, the Kent rings can be cheaper. Director Zhou can discuss with you the specific price, and you are more familiar with it."


    Jiang Xia glanced at the other employees of the shipyard.


    Can''t it be less than one thousand one hundred dollars? Comrade Jiang Xia thought the Kent Ring was made of gold? A boatman couldn''t help but blurt out: "One thousand, one hundred dollars per person, one hundred dollars more expensive than the one in Country D. Those foreign merchants come to our shipyard to order ships just to be cheap. Now the price is so high, who will buy our Kent ring? They will definitely choose the Kent ring in Country D!"


    The shipyard''s finance department couldn''t help but say, "One thousand, one hundred dollars is too expensive. A cargo ship worth tens of thousands of tons uses a Kent ring. In this way, the price of a ship will be much higher, and everyone will choose the Kent ring in Country D."


    Another boatman also shook his head: "Yes, the price is too high! There is no advantage! The purpose of our production of this Kent ring was originally to save a little foreign exchange. Now that we have this Kent ring, we can not only save foreign exchange, but our ships also have more advantages. We have the hope of using high quality and low prices to get more orders! If the price of the Kent ring is more expensive than the Kent ring in Country D, what advantages do we have? Everyone will choose the Kent ring in Country D, and we can''t even save foreign exchange!"


    "That''s the case. Nowadays, those foreigners come to book ships, and they all designate to call Kent Rings from Country D! We finally made a better Kent Ring than Country D. We have such a big advantage to attract foreign businessmen to book ships! If our Kent Rings are more expensive than those from Country D? What''s the advantage?"


    "I know Comrade Jiang Xia is eloquent, so he signed a large order of tens of millions of yuan for our shipyard at once, but Comrade Jiang Xia doesn''t work in our shipyard every day and sells ships for our shipyard! When the Gap Fair is over, we don''t have the ability of Comrade Jiang Xia. If the price is too high, who would come to the shipyard to order ships? So I think the price of this Kent ring cannot be too high, so it''s best to follow the one we discussed before!"


    Seeing that everyone was against it, Jiang Xia said, "I know that good quality and low price can make small profits and quick turnover, but sometimes good things will be faced with high prices, and more people will even come to you, that is the brand effect,..."


    Jiang Xia explained in detail why sometimes the higher the price of a product, the more attractive it is to buy it.


    Now the newly built Kent ring in the shipyard is better than that of Country D. Jiang Xia feels that of course he has to take the opportunity to set a high price to make his reputation.


    Only in this way can everyone be curious about why it is so expensive!


    As there are more curious people, there will be more talents coming here, so why don’t the customers come? Only when you come will you know that their Kent ring is indeed better than those in Country D!


    Wouldn’t that reputation be heard? Then more people came, and the order came!


    Why do so many people want to buy luxury goods? If you can''t afford it, buy high-quality imitation? This is a bit of ambition.


    Jiang Xia thinks that this Kent ring in the shipyard is Hermes in the Kent ring.


    You must not sell at a low price, so you should attract customers at a high price.


    And now shipyards have the advantages of welding technology, so they should take the opportunity to make a name for themselves. But the shipyard has people who are considering it. Seeing that Jiang Xia said so much, everyone looked disagreeable, so she wouldn''t say it.


    Others disagree, but Jiang Xia''s words really touched Director Zhou''s heart!


    Why is he working hard to improve his shipbuilding technology with so many technical engineers?


    Their team of dozens of people produced the Kent ring day and night, and why did they study the welding technology?


    I hope that our Chinese ships are recognized by the world because of their technology, not that those who come to book ships come for cheap prices.


    Perhaps I am used to using prices to attract foreign businessmen, and considering that the import of Kent rings in Country D requires tariffs, I feel that the Kent rings I produce can be cheaper.


    But this is wrong! Why is such a good Kent ring so cheap? How can a good thing be cheaper than a bad one?


    Fortunately, Jiang Xia brought the first batch of customers here and negotiated to place an order and increase the price, otherwise it would have really lowered such a good Kent ring!


    Director Zhou: "I think Comrade Xiaoxia is right! We need to re-set the price of Kent Ring. Good things are not afraid that no one wants! Advanced things should have advanced value. We not only sell ships, but also sell our ships to a reputation! When do you don''t take the opportunity to make a name for yourself when you have good technology? You can''t always give people the impression of selling bargains."


    Director Zhou glanced at Jiang Xia in admiration. He didn''t expect that this girl was so young, with such a long vision and such a big picture.


    Other employees of the shipyard: “…”


    Director Zhou was poisoned by Comrade Jiang Xia, right?


    Someone saw that Director Zhou agreed and said, "It''s okay to raise the price, but it can''t raise it too high!"


    Director Zhou shook his head: "It is better not to go up than to raise a little! As Jiang Xia said, customers who only ordered Kent rings and do not order ships will cost 1,100 US dollars each, customers who ordered ships will cost 1,078 US dollars each, and customers who have large quantities will also receive 1,078 US dollars each. Do you have any objections?"


    Another deputy director of the shipyard, Director Chen, still felt that it was not feasible. At such a high price, even if someone bought it, it would not be much.


    Moreover, Jiang Xia is just a part-time translator. Doing a good translation means you are in charge of the pricing of the ship?


    That''s the leader''s business! What''s up to her?


    Director Zhou and Director Xu both valued her. Did she really regard herself as a leader?


    So Director Chen said, "I still think the price is high and unreasonable. I am worried that few people will order it. Let''s do this! If Comrade Jiang Xia can get a tens of millions of orders for Kent Ring today at the price she proposed, proving that Kent Ring can be sold at a high price, then the price will be settled like this! Otherwise, what will be the price as agreed upon before?"


    10 million Kent ring order?


    Then how many Kent rings will you sell?


    The most important thing is that Kent Ring Country D is famous. China has just made it, and it is estimated that few foreign investors come to Guangzhou International Trade Fair to buy Kent Ring.


    This is like a vegetable seller who went to the fruit market to sell 10,000 kilograms of vegetables and asked her to sell them all in one day!


    It’s impossible to sell it!


    Other staff members said one after another: "Okay! If we can get tens of millions of orders, it will prove that our Kent ring can be sold even if the price is high. I have no objection!"


    "If this happens, I have no objection!"


    Everyone looked at Jiang Xia one after another.
