Chapter 210 Inquiry Form and Enthusiastic Ye Niya

Wu Xiumei leaned over to take a look at the email and smiled, "Mr. Li, this is not an order, it's an inquiry..."

Li Xiaofan looked at the email carefully and realized that he had made a mistake. The English word Mike sent was "quiry list", which is translated into Chinese as "inquiry list". I was excited when I saw Mike's email just now, and I mistook the inquiry list for an order!

In the email, Mike first told Li Xiaofan that they had arrived safely at the headquarters of the US company and thanked Li Xiaofan for their hospitality and thoughtful reception. Then, he happily informed Li Xiaofan in the email that after review, both Singapore Yifan Private Limited and Mainland China Yifan Industry and Trade Co., Ltd. have entered the qualified supplier list of their American Aco Department Store.

The "inquiry list" from Mike in the email has a lot of categories. In addition to the seven-piece lunch box set for microwave ovens, there are also washbasins, buckets, laundry basins, plastic anvils, plastic chairs, plastic cups, sieves, storage boxes and more than ten kinds of plastic products.

The most critical quantity is also not small, all starting from 50,000 copies...

Li Xiaofan said happily, "Xiumei, no matter what, these are two great news! First, both of our companies have successfully entered the qualified supplier list of the American Arco Department Store, which is a very important step! Second, this inquiry is actually equivalent to half an order. As long as our quotation and cargo transportation time and other conditions meet their requirements, after their company's internal review, Mr. Mike will send us the formal order next!"

"Yes, Mr. Li, this qualified supplier qualification is really too important for our company. This is a very critical step. Our company has its own unique advantages and competitiveness!"

Li Xiaofan then forwarded Mike's email to Wu Xiumei.

"Xiumei, please contact the relevant manufacturers and freight forwarding companies as soon as possible, and then reply to Mr. Mike as soon as possible to confirm the information in the relevant orders, and strive to get all the orders in these inquiry forms as soon as possible!"

"No problem, Mr. Li, don't worry!"

"Xiumei, if this big order is won, we may have to recruit more people quickly. I guess you will be very busy here in the future! I guess the Singapore TU FairPrice Cooperative may also confirm our qualified supplier qualifications recently..."

"Yes, Mr. Li, I roughly calculated that if we become qualified suppliers of both Arco Department Store in the United States and the Singapore TU FairPrice Cooperative, you will have to assign me at least one more person..."

"Xiumei, don't worry! As long as there are orders and business, these are not a problem!"

As the two were talking, Li Xiaofan's mobile phone rang. This was a landline number from Singapore Minghua Holdings.

"Hello, is this Mr. Li? I'm Jenny."

"Hi, Jenny, hello!"

"Mr. Li, are you still in the mainland?"

"Yes, Jenny, what's up?"

"I'm calling to report to you that the batch of 100,000 sets of seven-piece microwave lunch boxes that were transferred to the United States through Dubai Afg Company last time has arrived in the United States smoothly last week. The US side has no problems after inspection. The remaining balance of US$10,000 in the letter of credit opened to us by Dubai Afg Company has been successfully received!"

"Oh, that's great. Then please notify our bank and pay the remaining balance of US$10,000 to Ningdong Lixin Plastic Company immediately!"

"Okay, I'll do it right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Xiaofan took out his notebook and wrote it down. Yifan's US dollar account now has a profit of US$10,000 from the trade order of 100,000 sets of microwave lunch boxes through Dubai Afg Company, and the current balance is US$10,000.

After Li Xiaofan finished his work, Wu Xiumei asked, "Mr. Li, the most valuable item in the batch of goods that Mr. Mike inquired about is the seven-piece microwave lunch box set. What price should we quote now?"

"Last time, Dubai Afg Company purchased 100,000 sets of microwave lunch boxes from Ningdong Lixin Plastic Company for US$10,000 and sold them to Dubai Afg Company for US$10,000, which is equivalent to US$1 set. Before, when I was in the United States, I went to Arco Department Store and several other department stores in the United States with Miss Xinyi for field research. The retail price of this seven-piece microwave lunch box set is more than US$10,000. I think we can quote first 100 USD per set, do you think it's ok?"

"Yes, I think Mr. Mike has a good impression of our company after his visit this time, so we can quote it in USD first. Mr. Li, you may need to keep in touch with Mr. Mike in time to see what his reaction is, so that we can make timely adjustments!"

"Well, I know. Xiumei, I have to go back to Singapore tomorrow, thank you for your hard work here!"

"No problem, Mr. Li, you can go to Singapore without worry, we can report to you in time by phone or email if there is anything!"

...

The next day, Li Xiaofan took a flight back to Singapore from Shanghai Hongqiao Airport.

Since Yifan Company took over the after-sales service agency of Taiyo Company's test equipment on May 1, he has not had time to visit all the circuit board manufacturers they serve. All the things in the past few days will be left to Aaron to deal with.

In two days, Jeffrey, the vice president of QA Technology in the United States, will visit to discuss agency business.

In the plan, Li Xiaofan will also visit HP, Teradyne and other global IT online test equipment suppliers...

The next morning, he and A Long rushed to the Ximu Electronics Factory.

The day before yesterday, Lin Qianxue called Li Xiaofan. Recently, their factory received a batch of orders for multi-layer circuit boards of new computer hosts from PAQ Compaq. During the small-scale trial run, the Taiyo second-generation test machine had some problems during the test. A Long couldn't solve it all at once, so he asked him to come and have a look when he was free.

When Li Xiaofan and his team arrived at the electrical testing workshop, it was less than eight o'clock in the morning, and Lin Qianxue had not arrived at the workshop yet.

Li Xiaofan asked his co-workers to replace the PAQ Compaq new computer host multi-layer circuit test fixture. After running a few pieces, he roughly knew where the problem was. He whispered to A Long, "It's the problem of camera positioning again. Let me teach you how to modify the camera parameters in the system..."

After going to work at 8:30 in the morning, Lin Qianxue came to the workshop and met Li Xiaofan and A Long, and found that the problems had been solved.

"Afan, how come the problem is solved immediately when it comes to you? We studied it for a long time a few days ago but couldn't solve it!"

"Haha, so we are qualified after-sales service agents! Officer, if there is no problem, we will withdraw first."

"Afan, walk slowly, I have a batch of consumable parts orders for probes and test fixtures for you..."

"Wow, so good!"

Lin Qianxue said angrily, "Humph, if you don't come to help me solve the problem in time, I will almost give this batch of orders to other suppliers!"

Li Xiaofan and A Long finished Lin Qianxue's order, came out of the Westwood Electronics Factory, and came to the corner coffee shop for a rest, when Li Xiaofan's mobile phone rang.

The call was from Aunt Ye Niya again.

"Afan, are you back to Singapore?"

"Aunt Ye Niya, I just returned to Singapore yesterday."

"Are you free tonight? I will arrange for that cousin Desha to meet you together?"

Yen Niya is really enthusiastic, and she actually keeps a close eye on this matter.

"Thank you, Aunt Ye Niya. Where shall we meet tonight?" Li Xiaofan thought that he could only deal with it first.
