Chapter 49: I Want Political Influence
"You're not going to do it yourself?"
Bob stared at Chen Geng's words and struggled to understand them, and he felt that his brain was a little unable to keep up with the boss's thinking......
"Who has the spare time to pay attention to them, Lao Tzu is so busy," Chen Geng pursed his lips, looked at Bob and said, "What do you think of the maintenance department you are responsible for as the main body?"
Bob's hairs are standing on end!
Although it sounded like a good thing, he didn't know why, but he always felt that the boss was staring at him, like a chef looking at the meat on the board: should it be cut horizontally or vertically?
He couldn't understand the difference between the two: isn't the maintenance department your business? What is the difference between you doing it yourself and the maintenance department?
Also, for a technographer who is engaged in technology, it is indeed a little difficult for him to figure out the difference between these two subjects, Chen Geng waved his hand considerately: "You don't have to worry about it, I have my own arrangements for this matter." β
Chen Geng was not very polite, but Bob had no opinion at all - even if he had an opinion, he didn't dare to mention it, he had just been warned by Chen Geng, which made him realize what a stupid thing he had almost done before, his legs were so weak that he could barely stand, where did he dare to come up with ideas?
Bob went out, while Chen Geng was touching his chin and pondering two questions: how would Honda's side deal with it? and ......
What kind of strategy will be adopted in the negotiations with the United Community Bank tomorrow?
ββββββββββββ
As soon as the conversation began, Rosemary realized that she had a difficult opponent β she had never faced such a direct and difficult opponent......
"Ms. Rosemary, and gentlemen,"
After the two sides sat down separately, Chen Geng spoke, and he nodded to the negotiator on the side of the United Community Bank, and his attitude was very gentle, but Chen Geng's next words completely disrupted the preparations made by the United Community Bank before:" I know that you are here for Fernandez's business flow and car consumer loan, OK, no problem, based on our previous pleasant cooperation, Fernandez is very happy to hand over the business flow and car consumer loan business to you, and Fernandez is also willing to help you convince our partners to choose to cooperate with you, as long as you show enough sincerity. So now, you can take out your own conditions. β
Your conditions are suitable, we will cooperate, your conditions can not satisfy me, we will change the bank to cooperate, there is no constant repeated temptation, there is no little concession, Chen Geng came up and played his own cards.
This is a way to completely ignore the rules of negotiation, or in other words, for the current situation, this is a very, very effective way to disrupt the other party's established deployment, like punching the old master to death, as soon as Chen Geng's words came out, the executives of the United Community Bank were all stunned: This bastard, how can there be a negotiation method that will let us show our cards?
Mistaken!
Also stunned was Rosemary, as soon as Chen Geng's words came out, Rosemary immediately realized that she had underestimated Chen Geng, this guy is definitely not a rookie who has just started doing business, this unexpected move, his full of self-confidence, all prove that this guy is an experienced veteran!
While curious how such a young guy could have a lot of negotiation experience, Rosemary also knew that the negotiation strategy that Union Community Bank had developed before was no longer applicable.
But to be the vice president of a bank, of course Rosemary can't do without two brushes, slightly stunned, Rosemary took the opportunity to kick the ball back to Chen Geng: "Mr. Fernandez, you can think so, I am very happy, I don't know what kind of sincerity you need?"
How could Chen Geng fall for Rosemary? He shook his head with a smile and kicked the ball back again: "Why don't you talk about the cooperation conditions you gave first?"
Chen Geng insisted that the United Community Bank speak first, what else could Rosemary do? She was also desperate, who let the United Community Bank come to ask for help this time, of course she agreed.
Some helplessly, he nodded to Reinstorf, that is, the manager of White's business hall, and motioned for him to explain and explain the conditions of the United Community Bank to Chen Geng - no way, the entire negotiation team of the United Community Bank is the lowest position in Renstorff.
Reinstorff was very conscious, very aware of his role in this negotiation, coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and said: "Mr. FernΓ‘ndez, we at the Community Bank of the Associated Press are very pleased and attach great importance to strengthening cooperation with your company in a deeper scope, and in order to consolidate and deepen our cooperation, we promise:
First, we will give priority to the approval of your credit application, and will arrange a special person to be responsible for reviewing your application materials, and at the same time, the review conditions will be appropriately relaxed;
Second, when you and your partners have the need for loans, you can obtain a loan amount ranging from 300,000 to 500,000 US dollars without review, of course, the specific amount needs to be determined after reviewing your partners, and the current determination is your company, and the credit line given by our bank to your company is 50 US dollars;
3. You may apply for a one-year interest-free loan of up to $800,000 in total or a two-year loan with a six-percent discount on the prevailing interest rate in each fiscal year;
Fourth, taking into account the changes in your business volume and future development, if you need it, we can introduce you to a more professional and powerful accounting firm to help you avoid taxes more reasonably and obtain more legitimate profits. At the same time, if you develop and develop your business in other regions, we will give you active and all-round support, and accordingly, you will also need to ...... the credit business and flow of the new development area"
Listening to Ryhenstorff tell about the conditions given by the United Community Bank, Chen Geng nodded from time to time, and could hear that the United Community Bank really attaches great importance to this cooperation, and it is also very sincere, there is no disgusting, fool-like repeated temptation, which is very good, although many conditions have not reached what they want, but as long as there is sincerity in cooperation, everyone can talk slowly.
Rosemary had been paying close attention to Chen Geng's expression, and in her assumption, Fernandez should be very happy, surprised, and even ecstatic about the conditions given by the United Community Bank, because according to the information she had, this guy was simply a lucky guy. But in addition to good luck, there is not much experience in shopping malls, but Chen Geng's reaction made her more and more incomprehensible, she felt that she was not facing a super rookie who had just been in business for two or three months, but like facing the helm of large enterprises and large conglomerates such as Morgan, Chase, and Merrill Lynch......
How is this possible?!
As soon as this feeling came out, Rosemary herself was taken aback!
"Thank you very much for the respect and attention you have given us," Chen Geng nodded to the representative of the United Community Bank to express his gratitude after politely waiting for Reinsstorff to finish: "I am generally very satisfied with this cooperation, and I only hope to increase it a little." β
"Please. Rosemary said immediately.
"I needed the United Community Bank to help me build influence in Detroit, with the government, with the major local politicians. β
"What?!"
Rosemary had to use all her strength to stop herself from standing up, and she even wondered if her ears had misheard: this Chinese man was asking for political influence?
Facing the gaffe Rosemary, Chen Geng raised his eyebrows: "Is there anything wrong with this? If Fernandez has a certain influence on Detroit's politics, it can not only avoid a lot of trouble, but also make the business more smoothly, isn't it normal for Fernandez to seek its presence in Detroit's political arena?"
Normal?
Normal is hell!
Who doesn't know that in the United States and even in North America as a whole, the Chinese are almost synonymous with "political insulators", they almost never touch politics, they are unwilling to deal with politics, unlike blacks who express their political will and obtain political benefits through various marches and demonstrations, and they have never thought of becoming members of parliament and government departments through elections.
Because of the natural "insulation" of the Chinese in politics, the fact that Fernandez gained influence over Detroit politics and Detroit politicians never came to Rosemary's mind at all, but now, Fernandez took the initiative to bring it up......
That's a good thing!
This means that the two sides can be more closely united, as a representative of capital, the United Community Bank of course has considerable influence on Detroit politics, political figures, although it is not clear why Chen Geng is such an alternative among the Chinese, but this is not a problem, Rosemary quickly adjusted her psychological state, and said to Chen Geng: "Of course, this is very normal, it can't be more normal......
After a slight pause, Rosemary turned her head to look at Reinsstorff: "Mr. Reinstorff, I don't know much about Detroit politics, can you help me introduce the situation in Detroit politics?"
Reinstorff looked at Chen Geng in surprise and said, "Mr. Fernandez, Detroit is now in the midst of a mayoral election, and only after a new mayor is elected, will the new mayor appoint the heads of various government departments in Detroit, don't you know?"
"I know," Chen Geng nodded, "but I don't know who has the best chance of being elected, or ......"
Looking at Reinstorf, Chen Geng said seriously and word by word: "Which mayoral candidate can I support to get the greatest benefits?"
