Chapter 234 Image is so important
Jesse thought for a moment before saying, "If you think the price is not right, you can name a price yourself. I can afford it until you are satisfied."

Seeing that his friend liked it so much, Mark had no choice but to follow her.

"Yes, girl, if you think the price is not right, we can offer a higher price. But Chinese girl, I still want to tell you, don't be too outrageous and hurt your dignity. You invited us here for money, and you repeatedly refused for money. Just say it directly, don't use excuses like partners. Jesse and I don't believe it at all."

Shen Meng still had a decent smile on her face and she looked directly at Jesse.

"Money is a good thing. We invite foreign guests to our country to show the good things of our country to people all over the world, not just to make money. This headdress is really made by women in my hometown with every stitch. It is impossible to sell it, but I can give it to Miss Jessie for free. Our China is a country of etiquette. You have traveled across the ocean and worked hard to come here. Even if you don't buy anything, we will still treat you well. This is the way of hospitality in our country and has nothing to do with money. Miss Jessie, this headdress is for you. I hope that in addition to experiencing the local customs and people of my country, you can also appreciate the shock brought to you by the beautiful mountains and rivers. I hope you have a pleasant journey."

After Shen Meng finished speaking, she took off the headdress on her head and put it on Jesse's head. The latter was so surprised that she suddenly felt great admiration for Shen Meng.

"Thank you very much, girl, what's your name?"

"Shen Meng."

Jesse spread his hands and looked at Shen Meng apologetically, "I'm sorry, Shen Meng. Mark was so rude just now. I want to say sorry to you on her behalf. Thank you for your generosity. This headdress is so beautiful. I feel very happy every day in China."

How could I not be happy? Wherever I go, people welcome me warmly and praise me. Anyone who receives this kind of treatment would feel happy. However, Shen Meng was secretly complaining.

Mark was also a little embarrassed, and he apologized to Shen Meng.

Shen Meng was a person who knew how to take advantage of others. Although she didn't know much about the provincial capital, she boldly introduced it to the two people. Sometimes she would talk about other places, but she mainly talked about things in Ning County. She talked about such a lot that the two people stood and listened for almost an hour before the three of them separated. Before leaving, Shen Meng specifically asked them where they lived and said that she would go visit them when she had time.

Jessie readily agreed, she felt like she had met a soulmate.

Passersby stopped to watch Shen Mengneng chatting happily with the two foreigners. Foreigners are still very eye-catching in this era, but they seem to like being stared at by nature. When they see someone staring at them, they smile at them. Passersby cover their mouths and shyly take a peek.

Because Shen Meng told them in advance that it was because they were dressed fashionably and beautifully and they liked them, so they kept looking at them, but they were shy, so they felt very secretly attracted to them.

Mark and Jesse understood this and acted very generously when facing others.

When Shen Meng returned to the guesthouse, he also sighed that being handsome was still a great advantage. If he had dressed more casually today, Jesse and Mark would not have talked to him for so long.

It can be seen that image is so important.

The next morning.

During breakfast, Shen Meng handed over the latest heavy-work and embroidered headbands to Secretary Li. "Secretary Li, although the ones we brought here are good, I think they are not perfect enough. I improved these overnight. Please take a look."

The several head flowers that Shen Meng gave were either decorated with beads, lace or mesh. Even though they were all men, they found them extremely beautiful. The staff walking around and providing services were all amazed.

"This is indeed very beautiful, but it looks like it won't be cheap. Xiao Meng, if someone takes a fancy to this, can we produce it?"

"Some of the materials mentioned above are rarely sold in the county. There is no machinery factory in our county, so it is difficult to get these auxiliary materials. However, there is a machinery factory in the provincial capital. If we can get the assistance of the machinery factory in the provincial capital, then these gadgets can be made."

Shen Meng doesn't have the connections to get a job at the machinery factory, but Secretary Li is confident that if he can get an order for Ning County, the leadership team in the provincial capital will also issue orders for the machinery factory to cooperate.

Generating foreign exchange is a big deal. If Ning County becomes famous, the provincial capital will also benefit from it. They will definitely be willing. However, if the machinery factory in the provincial capital joins in, the cost will increase. There are many twists and turns in the process. Secretary Li was a little troubled about how to set the price specifically, because many details have not been discussed. If he investigates the cost now, he will not be able to make it in time for today's negotiations.

"If we can get the order for the head flowers, we can find a way to solve the subsequent problems. But Xiao Meng, how should we price the head flowers? We have to consider the cost issue."

Shen Meng smiled and said, "This is the price. Since we are making money from foreigners, we will naturally exaggerate the price. Please take a look."

Secretary Li, Translator Tang, and Secretary Guan all took a deep breath when they looked at the quotation sheet handed over by Shen Meng. A lace hairpin, which was decorated with two large plastic pearls, was quoted at one dollar and eighty cents. As for the heavy-duty items, it was even more expensive, at two or three dollars.

“This, this too.”

"This is our bottom price, Secretary Li. You don't need to worry about the quotation, but you must stick to the bottom price."

Secretary Li: “.”

The reserve price is not that low, it is just a few cents cheaper, you really dare to ask for this price!!!

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Secretary Li met with a foreign businessman who was interested in the hair flower issue. The man had sharp eyes and was a fifty-year-old foreign man. He looked like a shrewd businessman.

"This foreigner is called John. He is a veteran businessman. I heard that his business is very big. He came to our country this time because his daughter is curious about and loves the scenery of our country. Do you know why he didn't go to the big cities but came to our provincial capital? This old guy is very smart. He knows that we want to earn foreign exchange, but we don't want to pay a high price. We also want to get good quality products, so he specially comes to some second- and third-tier cities. He has already signed a lot of orders in Guangyuan Province. Secretary Li said that he is really interested in the head flower, but he is really ruthless in bargaining."

"learn."

Secretary Guan told Shen Meng this in advance not to let her know too much about John, but to let her know how powerful and important this foreigner is, so that she can keep her mouth shut during the negotiations and chat with anyone else.

Secretary Li placed all the hair ornaments he brought with him on the table. John's eyes lit up when he saw them, but he hid them well when he looked up at Secretary Li.
