Evans was not only so excited that he almost fainted. A few days later, when Evans came to the 23rd branch of the factory to tell Zhuang Jianye the news, even for two generations, his blood pressure soared.
Fifteen models, one thousand of each model, is fifteen thousand model airplanes, which is three million dollars according to 200 dollars per model airplane.
This is still the initial confirmation of the order, and there will be more in the future. You know, Evans is not in a general relationship. The ferocious looking old man Linderman, who is leaning on crutches and speaking with a loud voice, turns out to be a director of the US Army Air Force Association under the National Veterans Association.
As the predecessor of the U.S. air force, these veterans of the U.S. Army Air Force fought bloody battles with the axis powers in World War II. After the end of the war, they retired one after another. More than 30 years later, they are already old.
In order to make American teenagers remember their bloody history, the Veterans Association of America has raised funds to build or repair more than 600 World War II memorials in the United States. As a subordinate of the Veterans Association, the Army Air Force Association naturally undertakes the work of collecting related exhibits.
There is no shortage of authentic old airplanes. With its huge influence, the Army Air Force Association has only made a few simple gatherings. Those veterans who have already entered the political and business circles of the United States have generously donated money. All kinds of World War II old airplanes have piled up in the association, and there are even many good guys who can fly to the sky.
What they lack is a kind of teaching aid model that can explain the principle to the children, and let people understand the aircraft structure and performance structure, so that more people, especially children, love aviation.
After all, children can watch real airplanes, but it's unrealistic to explain to real airplanes. Apart from that, all kinds of dismantling and drilling are physical work. It's not good if a child has problems during the period.
For this reason, Linderman and others went to the factories that made those World War II airplanes, hoping that they could customize a batch of such teaching aid models for the association.
Those airports can be built. The problem is that there is not much profit and there is no trouble. What's more, it's a joke that a regular aircraft manufacturer can't build a real aircraft and build a model aircraft.
So several major aviation manufacturers took out a few model machines in stock and sent Linderman and others out as beggars in the name of donation.
When Linderman and others thought that this matter might not be done, and they were ready to shelve it for the time being, and then slowly solve it later, Evans knocked on Linderman's door in a daze, so the whole thing became a matter of course.
Looking at Evans sitting opposite, Zhuang Jianye really doesn't know how to say that this product is not as simple as being kissed by angel sister,
it's so lucky that he can't help being rude.
Of course, Zhuang Jianye can only explode in his heart, because he is also very lucky. Ning Xiaodong's exchange of foreign exchange in the special economic zone is not smooth, and he can't get 500000 US dollars. The amount is too large, and it can't be settled in a moment. They are watching, and Evans's real 3 million US dollars will fall. Well, he is also turned by his angel sister.
"It's just like this. Now I want to know when you can give me the goods?" Now Evans is confident, sunny, full of brilliant and gentle smile. He can no longer see the appearance of a tramp. His speech is more direct and to the point. It is obvious that several months of sales have thoroughly honed him.
Zhuang Jianye hesitated for a moment: "this is more troublesome. You know, our production line is not large in scale, and many processes are complex, so it is slow to do. So, do you think a year and a half is OK?"
"En ~ ~" Evans rubbed his chin and pondered: "it's a little long, but if you explain it well, the CAA side should be acceptable, but you'd better take photos of these models, er It's the kind of photos you put in the model to make a picture album. Those old folks like your photos very much. "
"This..."
"I know it's not easy for your photographers to create. How about a dollar for each photo?"
Zhuang Jianye is very happy and crazy. All the photos can be sold for money. Ju Tao is so beautiful that he has a runny nose. Er It seems to forget that this product has no concept of money. It's estimated that his father will have a beautiful nose.
Seeing that Zhuang Jianye frowned and did not speak, Evans thought that he was not satisfied with his price. In the United States, this kind of photography is not expensive. One dollar would buy a model photo comparable to aerial photography. That's not to bury people. In the United States, Evans would definitely be beaten by others. So he thought about it, gritted his teeth and said generously: "Two dollars, no more!"
As soon as Zhuang Jianye heard that it was $2, he realized that he was a chicken thief. When he raised $1, he knew that Evans was picking up a bargain. So he didn't want to say, "six dollars."
"It's too expensive!"
"You know how difficult it is for us to take a group of model photos, lighting, props, photography..."
"Three dollars, Zhuang. That's all I can do." After Evans had a showdown, Zhuang Jianye stopped when he was satisfied. Then they talked about the details of signing the contract, and Evans offered to see the photographer.Zhuang Jianye leaned back in his chair and thought for a while. Then he called the clerk next door and asked him to call Ju Tao.
……
Master Ju hasn't had a good time these few months. Since he promised Zhuang Jianye to bring some apprentices to the 23rd branch of the factory, master Ju felt insecure. One day, he suddenly broke into his son's studio, and an old glass heart broke completely.
I thought my son was secretly dating that girl inside, but I didn't think he was taking pictures of a bunch of models with his camera. Then master Ju learned that his son's true love was taking pictures, and master Ju almost collapsed.
Carrying a stick, he chased Ju Tao for half a factory. If Ju Tao didn't rush into Zhuang Jianye's office, he would have to break his son's leg.
So the idea of letting his son go home came out again, especially when the general factory took the 23rd branch as a pilot. After the 23rd branch ran out of stock for the 6th branch, master Ju's idea became even stronger. After spending so many years in Yonghong factory, he has seen many branch factories challenging the authority of the general factory. Does he have a good end?
The martial arts faction of several branch factories in those years was powerful, right? What's the result? Do you have a good fruit to eat?
After a long time of painstaking talk, his son refused to listen, and he simply hid from Zhuang Jianye's house with his camera. Master Ju was worried, crazy, and scratched his hair. He wanted to hold his son's neck and ask whether he was his father or the camera was his father.
He had no choice but to change his strategy and ask Zhuang Jianye to get his son back. As a result, Zhuang Jianye was absent several times. This time when he heard that Zhuang Jianye had come back from a business trip, master Ju came to the 23rd branch of the factory ahead of time, perfunctorily instructing some silly apprentices and waiting for Zhuang Jianye.
Finally, when the exact news came out, master Ju put down his work, came out of the workshop and went straight to the factory director's office. As soon as he got to the door, he was still thinking about the wording. Then he heard a sound of birds inside. He didn't understand a word. A moment later, Zhuang Jianye's voice came: "Evans said that your photos are very good. He is willing to buy your photos for $3 each."
