26 Breakfast at the hotel
After Liang Wenge met Lin Yilong by chance in the hotel restaurant, he was unwilling to fail, and when Lin Yilong and the Yeang sisters were having breakfast, he followed the lady who negotiated with Lin Yilong in London's Chinatown and "encountered" Lin Yilong again.
"What's the matter?" Lin Yilong asked the female business representative led by him, "It's really an honor to meet you all this morning." ”
"Mr. Lin. "We sincerely want to make a purchase agreement with you." ”
"Ms. Fang, unfortunately, I didn't come to Yanjing for business negotiations. Lin Yilong said, "If you have anything, you can wait until I return to London." ”
Seeing Lin Yilong calling out his surname, the businesswoman knew that Lin Yilong would definitely not be easy to deal with.
"It's rude, then you please. Ms. Fang replied, but she didn't mean to go directly.
Ms. Fang is an enterprising person, a buyer at a domestic importer who specializes in sourcing olive oil in Spain and Portugal, filling it on a private label and sending it back to the mainland. Perhaps hearing about the miraculous fragrance of white truffles, Ms. Fang began to try to make truffle sauce to promote in China.
Unfortunately, the retailer's small truffles do not meet the production requirements, and most of the large white truffles are taken away by luxury brokers like Liang Wenge in the form of "word of mouth", but Liang Wenge himself can only buy such truffles from others. So there is no first-hand information, which makes this Ms. Fang very distressed.
The reason why Lin Yilong directly rejected Ms. Fang's bid is not complicated, Ms. Fang's domestic relationship with the sale of Indian truffles produced in southern Yunnan is too close, once in her hands, it is likely to be packaged into white truffles from Bracken Forest Farm, so that Lin Yilong will be hated by a group of Provence or Tuscan peers, and exclude him from the truffle market, so as to turn Lin Yilong's truffles into an embarrassing and embarrassing existence of Indian truffles. Lin Yilong is concerned about the adverse impact on his truffle sales. Since it is a seller's market, the conditions are not offered by a buyer like Ms. Fang.
Before Liang Wenge called Ms. Fang, she was in Pujiang to negotiate Indian truffles as a substitute, and when she heard the news that Lin Yilong appeared in the imperial capital, she came to Yanjing non-stop to "meet" Lin Yilong.
"Yilong, why is it so troublesome?" asked Nadia in Russian, and Lin Yilong's "chance encounters" of people turned a romantic threesome trip into endless business negotiations.
"I'm a superstar!" Lin Yilong deliberately made a helpless gesture.
While Sister Yeang went to pick up the meal, Ms. Fang came up again.
"Mr. Lin, I really want to get the truffles first-hand from you. Ms. Fang's tone was very humble, "If possible, I hope to buy it at the price you give." ”
"Ms. Fang, if you really had this intention, you would have contacted me in the three days I gave you, and you wouldn't have delayed it until today. Lin Yilong directly debunked the businesswoman's disguise, "Our forest farm can't make a statistic for you right now to calculate the number of possible white truffles produced, so it's not good." ”
"Don't you think the price you gave is a bit too high?" asked Ms. Fang, "As you said, you can't predict the yield of truffles, we don't know your forest farm, and we can't know whether your truffles are big or small." ”
"That's a good point, but I don't think there's anything wrong with the price. Lin Yilong said, "The sale is based on the collegiality of both parties, and I don't feel that everyone here has any intention to buy in London Chinatown that day." That day, you tried to form a cartel and tried to lower the price for me, and I am not the only sales channel for Ms. Tao, since it is destined to be impossible to negotiate, it is better to disperse, don't waste my time. “
"It's just normal business practice, and if it turns you off, please accept sorry. I would like to believe that this time, I sincerely want to purchase truffles from Guilin farm. The businesswoman surnamed Fang put her position even lower, trying to make Lin Yilong unable to speak.
"If you really want to buy truffles, Ms. Fang, you must first cut off your contact with southern Yunnan. Lin Yilong said, "And according to the cost of truffle sauce, I need a limit, for example, if you buy one kilogram of truffles from me, you can only produce 500 bottles of truffle sauce......
"It's impossible, there's no way I'm going to allow others to dictate how I act. Ms. Fang categorically rejected Lin Yilong's conditions, "I can't accept your price, even if it is Harrods Mall, the price of white truffles is only 8 pounds, which is far less than your minimum asking price of 9 pounds." Note:
"I'll admit yes, in that case, we'll have to wait for the white truffle harvest to take a look. Lin Yilong said regretfully, "At that time, the price may not be like this." ”
"It could be lower!" said the businesswoman indignantly.
"It could be higher!" Lin Yilong responded.
The dispute between Lin Yilong and this Ms. Fang does not involve finance now, and such an agreement is similar to the meaning of the unified sales purchase agreement, but the price of white truffles, as a so-called luxury or infrequently eaten food, is fluctuating, and it is impossible to obtain an insured price like ordinary food crops. It is unlikely that the businesswoman will eat Lin Yilong's white truffle production by herself, so she can only sell it to some luxury brokers, and once the average price of truffles does not boost morale, the market price and the actual price of Bracken's white truffles may be 100,000 pounds, which is cheaper for Lin Yilong.
Seeing the strange lady sitting in her seat just now talking to Lin Yilong, the Yeang sisters were very "sensible" to sit at the table next to them - Lin Yilong looked forward to them being "ignorant" once and drove away Ms. Fang in front of her.
If the Yeon sisters knew Chinese, they might be "ignorant"; they didn't move, so the two people at the next table continued to confront each other for a few minutes.
"So, I have a change in my other proposal. Seeing that the negotiations could not make a breakthrough, the businesswoman changed her strategy, "I can pay a small deposit to protect the purchase price of my harvest season, if I think it is appropriate, I will exercise the right to buy at this special price, if not, I will renounce it, you have this deposit in vain." ”
Lin Yilong smiled: "This is a good way, but you must promise to cut off contact with southern Yunnan and stick to the quota of truffle sauce that I just proposed to buy and sell." ”
The businesswoman nodded without even thinking about it.
"So, how much money are you going to pay to secure your buying rights?" Lin Yilong asked.
"Five thousand pounds!" said the businesswoman.
"I don't think the price is good enough. Lin Yilong shook his head.
"How much do you think is reasonable?" asked the businesswoman with an unkind expression.
"Fifteen thousand pounds. Lin Yilong replied, "This is my bid, it is non-negotiable, and it is valid for three days." ”
