Chapter 61: Mission Impossible

Within five minutes of contact, Leo dragged the topic into a dead end.

Gu Fei spread his hands and looked at Wu Tao helplessly. The rhetoric he had been taught earlier was completely useless. He didn't know how to pick it up, or just shoot it in two.

Wu Tao nodded, meaning that I would pick it up.

So Gu Fei leaned back, leaned back in the chair, sipped coffee, shook Erlang's legs, and completely herded the sheep.

Leo was confused and couldn't figure out what Gu Fei's move meant, when Wu Tao suddenly spoke.

"Mr. Leo, with all due respect, your company has been in China for more than a year, and its sales performance is lackluster, haven't you thought about the reason for this?"

Leo was surprised, not only because the question was asked directly in English, but also because it pointed directly at his weakness, which was a bit heart-wrenching.

However, as a first-class foreigner with a transcendent status in Huaxia, how could Leo be easily asked this question.

So he didn't even think about it, so he shook the pot lightly and said: "As far as we know, Huaxia is a developing country, and the water and beverage market is not mature enough. Our products are positioned as high-end, advanced technology, and cannot be accepted by our customers for the time being, and the performance is a little worse, which is also reasonable. ”

"Hehe~" After Wu Tao chuckled, he retreated and said: "Okay, since Mr. Leo thinks that your products are positioned as high-end, then may I ask how much of your product share is in the mid-to-high-end customer base? ”

Leo was obviously a little overwhelmed, and he had no choice but to turn his face at a loss, "I'm sorry, this is a trade secret, and I have nothing to say." ”

"Okay!" Wu Tao stood up, "Although Mr. Leo has reservations about us, we are here today with sincerity. I can tell you clearly that the expected goal of the cooperation project we brought today is 20 million annual sales!"

Leo stood up suddenly, "Impossible! Hanniks's annual sales are only more than 1 million! This is simply an impossible task!"

"In the future, we will go together, let's wait and see!" Wu Tao laughed and turned to leave.

It's not good to be a teacher!

However, Wu Tao was not discouraged. As soon as he got out of the Jinling Hotel, he figured it out. Even if the Italians are willing to cooperate with dignity and go through this listing process, I am afraid it will take a month or even more to complete this listing process.

The pace clearly couldn't keep up with his plans.

According to his plan, the product portfolio of water dispensers and bottled water must be fully rolled out by the end of July and early August at the latest.

Otherwise, there is no favorable 'time' for the high temperature in midsummer, and it will be another year later when the next time comes.

In this way, there is nothing to lose by losing the opportunity to cooperate with the Italians.

Leaving the Jinling Hotel, the three of them drove directly to the bottled pure water plant to be sold.

The water plant is located in Hexi, and the land is still a tidal flat farmland for 95 years. No one would have thought that ten years later, it would become a high-end CBD business district in the city, and the price of new houses would exceed 50,000 yuan.

It truly interprets the famous saying 'today you ignore me, tomorrow I will make you unattainable'.

Perhaps it is precisely because of its location on the outskirts of the city that the owner of the water plant is willing to renovate the entire plant inside and out. It can be seen that the other party is also a person who wants to do great things. I just didn't expect that the plan couldn't catch up with the changes.

This is good news for Wu Tao. As long as the door head is changed, it can be used directly.

As for those filter elements, permeable membranes and other consumables in the water purification production line, it doesn't cost much to replace them.

"Boss Gu, my water plant was built at the beginning with more than 2 million yuan, and after a year, I didn't earn a dime, not to mention, and I posted more than 100,000 yuan into it. For my sake, take pity on me......" The boss's surname is Zhang, and he played the sympathy card when negotiating.

It seems that he really doesn't have any cards to play, but it's a pity that the sympathy card is in the mall, and no one buys it.

Seeing that Wu Tao had no reaction, Gu Fei laughed, hugged Boss Zhang for a while, and said how sympathetic to you was, but the price was not a penny, 600,000, no two prices.

Boss Zhang was embarrassed for a while, so he could only agree. Otherwise, if it is rotten in your hands, you won't even be able to recover 600,000.

It can be seen that the 2 million he said is just an imaginary number, and the real construction of this field, two production lines plus plant construction, 1 million is the sky.

Turning back to the Xuanwu Hotel, along the way, Gu Fei's mouth moved a few times, but he didn't say anything.

Wu Tao couldn't stand it anymore, "Brother Fei, we have done millions of business together, what can't we say directly?"

An Rong couldn't help but tease: "Uncle, sometimes it's my mother-in-law's!"

"Shut up!" Gu Fei was nervous, and he was easy to get anxious.

An Rong spit out her fragrant tongue and did not speak.

Gu Fei shook the steering wheel with both hands and said, "The water plant will be bought in the next two days, and this time the business of selling water will be decided." Actually, I just want to ask, is that sentence you said to the Italians in the morning just casually, or seriously?"

"Which word?"

"It's the one about the sales target, 20 million. ”

"What do you say?" Wu Tao threw the question back.

Gu Fei smiled wryly, "I'll just say, it's okay to bluff the Italians, how can it be possible to really do 20 million performance?!"

Wu Tao interrupted coldly: "How is it impossible? We can't achieve 20 million sales in a year, why do we spend so much effort to open up this market?"

"Ah......" The two of them looked at him in amazement, this appetite is also big, right?

That night, in the private room of the Xuanwu Hotel, the three of them met Mr. Kawabata and his party who came from Zhonghai.

With a small body, round lenses, a meticulous suit, and a careful style, at first glance it is a typical Dongying person.

And a female secretary with long legs and black silk by her side, the professional dress that can't see the nameplate, with a skirt and high heels, is in line with the high-sounding pomp of Dongying people.

For a moment, Wu Tao thought of the 'Boss & Beauty OL Secretary .avi' series......

After introducing each other, it turned out that the female secretary was Fujiwara's special manager, who knew Chinese culture very well and worked as a part-time translator.

That's right, follow the local customs, otherwise the other party will not accept the arrangement of talking about things at dinner.

When Gu Fei saw this Dongying girl, he suddenly became energetic. I have lived for more than 30 years, and I have never tasted the taste of Dongying girl. So all the diligence of the whole body was used against each other.

Even a plate of ordinary cold dishes, cucumber dipping sauce, can make up unknown allusions......

Wu Tao was also happy to let him play first, and chatted with An Rong about where to make a book of photos.

Until Section Chief Kawabata couldn't stand it anymore, he suddenly interrupted: "Gu Sang, we have worked hard to come from Zhonghai, can we get straight to the point?"

Gu Fei couldn't help but smile embarrassedly when he heard the translation of this from Fujiwara's special manager, "Okay, let's talk while eating!"
