Chapter 118 The Golden Age and Xinyi Waiting for You

Li Xiaofan took it and took a look. The product brochure contained pictures of plastic photo frames, plastic lunch box sets for microwave heating... and other daily plastic products.

Mingzhou was known as the "Hometown of Molds" at that time. In addition to well-known plastic machine manufacturing companies like Haitian, the mold and plastic products industry was also very developed locally.

Li Xiaofan agreed casually: "No problem, these simple plastic products should be produced by our factory back home in mainland China!"

"Mr. Li, do you know what the plastic lunch box that can be heated in a microwave is made of?" Abboud asked.

"It should be No. 5 PP polypropylene material, right?"

Abdel praised: "Wow, Mr. Li, you are very professional! Have you ever done this business before?"

"Well, I've been in contact with it before..."

At that time, conventional daily plastic products generally used PE polyethylene and PP polypropylene materials. New renewable and degradable materials such as polylactic acid (PLA) have not yet appeared.

Generally, a PP polypropylene plastic box with a triangular arrow mark on the outside and a number 5 in the box can be used for heating in a microwave oven.

There is a common international classification of plastics, generally numbered from 1 to 7. Among them, No. 5 polypropylene, with the letter PP logo, is the most heat-resistant material. At that time, this material was commonly used in plastic utensils heated by microwave ovens.

In his previous life, Li Xiaofan once returned to his hometown of Ningdong County to start a business and tried to make some home appliances. Home appliances used many plastic parts and components, so he should be fairly familiar with the plastic products industry.

Abboud pointed to one of the product pictures and said: "Mr. Li, that's great! We are looking for suppliers who can mass-produce this seven-piece plastic lunch box set that can be heated in a microwave!"

"Mr. Aboud, if I find a factory in our hometown of Mingzhou to help you produce the product you mentioned, there will be no problem at all!"

"That's great! We currently have a large number of orders for similar products on hand, which are supplied to an American supermarket chain. In the past, our suppliers were in Japan, but later the cost of Japanese products was too high. Currently we Some of the orders were given to manufacturers in Taiwan. The daily household goods importer affiliated with the supermarket chain in the United States still thinks that the prices of our products are too high and uncompetitive. Therefore, we originally planned to go to Guangzhou, mainland China, to participate in the Canton Fair held there in the middle of next month. Find the right supplier...”

The Canton Fair was generally held twice a year, in spring and autumn. Spring was held in mid-April and autumn was held in mid-October.

"Mr. Aboud, in fact, you don't need to go to the Canton Fair at all. Our factories in mainland China will definitely meet all your order needs, whether it is price, quality, or production capacity!"

"Really?" Aboud was doubtful.

"Well! Mr. Aboud, do you have a sample? If you have a sample, I can send it back to mainland China and have our factory open a mold and trial-produce the sample as soon as possible for your confirmation!"

"Yes, but at the Changi Resort Hotel where we stayed..."

"Mr. Abboud, we are just about to take you back to the hotel later, just give it to us when the time comes!"

"Then why don't we leave now? I've delayed you two the whole afternoon and evening, and we're all embarrassed!"

"Don't mind! For the sake of long-term cooperation in the future, this is what we should do!"

Later, Tang Xinyi drove Aboud and Enise back to the resort hotel on the edge of Changi Beach.

Aboud gave Li Xiaofan a seven-piece sample set of plastic lunch boxes for microwave heating, as well as several samples of mirror frames and other plastic products.

The two also initialed a memorandum.

Early tomorrow morning, Abboud and Enise will take a flight back to Dubai. After arriving in Dubai, it was agreed that they would pay a deposit of US$5,000 to Li Xiaofan's "Singapore Yifan Pte Ltd" within three days as a deposit of US$5,000 for Li Xiaofan and his company to develop related plastic product molds in the early stage. After the samples are approved by the daily household products importer in the United States, a formal purchase contract will be entered into. The memorandum stipulates that if the samples provided by Li Xiaofan are not recognized by the American daily household goods importer (supermarket chain) within six months, Li Xiaofan's "Singapore Yifan Private Limited" will be responsible for refunding the US$5,000 deposit.

The trade contract for another 100,000 pairs of glasses will be signed by fax after Abboud and Enise return to Dubai. After the two parties confirm the relevant contract terms and details, they will sign it by fax. After the trade contract is signed, Abboud's AFG Trading Company will Wire transfer the advance payment of US$15 to Singapore Yifan Pte Ltd within three days...

After Li Xiaofan and Tang Xinyi left the Changi Resort Hotel where Abboud and Enise were staying, they hugged each other and walked to the cool Changi Beach Park.

At this time, Li Xiaofan was filled with excitement. He was so surprised that today he actually signed a big deal of 100,000 pairs of sunglasses for US$400,000!

What excites him even more is the daily household plastic products business, because he recalled that in his previous life, there were several large companies in Mingzhou that made their fortunes by making daily household products exported to Europe and the United States.

In the current 1990s, the U.S. economy is in the longest continuous growth period in history, and the economic operating situation has formed an ideal combination of "high growth + low inflation + low unemployment". This period is called the "New America". economic period”.

Now is the golden age for Chinese mainland enterprises to do foreign trade export business in developed countries in Europe and America!

Unlike sunglasses, daily household products are a rigid demand for European and American people, and every household needs them.

If we can open up the supply channel with the daily household product importer (chain supermarket) in the United States through Abbud's AFG company, this will definitely be a stable big business!

It is still unknown which daily household product importer (chain supermarket) in the United States is? If we can connect with supermarket giants such as Walmart, Target, Kmart, etc. in the future, we will be rich...

"Hi, dear, what are you daydreaming about!" Tang Xinyi in her arms reached into Li Xiaofan's T-shirt and pinched his waist playfully.

"I'm thinking about how to send these samples that Abbud gave me to China as soon as possible tomorrow..."

"Isn't this simple? After work next Monday, I'll ask Jenny to ask DHL or UPS, these air express companies, to send them back for you!"

Oh, yes, use DHL, Tang Xinyi reminded right! Li Xiaofan remembered that DHL had already entered China.

The name of DHL's express delivery business in China is Sinotrans DHL, which is a Sino-foreign joint venture established in 1986.

DHL is an international express logistics company under Deutsche Post and one of the four largest express delivery companies in the world. Before China joined the WTO, there were restrictions on foreign investment in the express delivery industry. Later, a workaround was adopted, namely, joint venture operation. DHL's partner in China is the domestic logistics giant Sinotrans, and the name of the joint venture company is: Sinotrans DHL, which is the Chinese homonym of DHL.

"Xinyi, you are so smart!" Li Xiaofan couldn't help but praise.

"Then how do you reward me?"

Tang Xinyi raised her pink lips playfully, looking forward to it.

The playful jade hand had already wandered to Li Xiaofan's chest muscles...
