Chapter 52: Negotiation
Sitting in the vehicle that Sika Company came to receive, Li Yuhao figured out what Sika called him over. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Because the raw materials and fabrics used by Sika's brand are provided by 'First Wool' in South Korea, Lee Woo-ho suggested that she use local fabric suppliers when developing a global chain store, and Lee Woo-ho felt that if all the raw materials of Dai-Wool Knit were used to go global, there would be a problem of transportation costs.
Therefore, when it came time to carry out overseas business, Sika followed Li Yuhao's words to find a local material cooperation supplier. In Japan, because some raw materials are also imported from other countries, they also have to involve transportation and garment costs. Nowadays, not only the labor cost in Japan has risen, but the world transportation cost has also increased, which makes Japanese suppliers want to increase the price code.
Of course, the person in charge of the 'price increase' side could not make a decision by him, so he naturally reported it to the head office and asked the head office to send someone to negotiate. And the negotiation involving the cost is not something that a general manager can handle, after all, the general manager is only responsible for operations. Cost calculation is another department, and there is also the problem of "price increase" involving "money", so if the head office wants to come, it will be a large number of people.
After all, Japan is also a very important market for Sika's brand, and things here must be highly valued, and the finance, accounting department, general manager, etc., need to sign a new contract from the department, they are now in China and can't leave, so the only one who can make a decision on the spot is Li Yuhao, the largest shareholder, he was naturally sent by Sika, plus Li Yuhao is more skilled in business negotiations than Sika, Sika does not have to come back to participate in the negotiations.
At noon today, the company made an appointment for the first time, and it was set in a Japanese kaiseki restaurant.
Li Yuhao came to the store here with Fujii Minana here, waiting for the arrival of the people over there. In the private room, Li Yuhao tasted the Japanese tea ceremony culture, while listening to the sound of flowing water in ancient Japanese buildings, and the scenery outside the entire private room highlighted the word 'Zen'.
Sitting in the private room smoking and waiting for the people over there to arrive, almost a cigarette time, the punctual Japanese appeared in the private room, and the uncle came in and looked at Li Yuhao, and then he looked at Fujii Meina next to Li Yuhao: "Huh.. Aren't you an entertainer... Well, this company was originally opened by Girls' Generation. He was a little surprised to see the artist suddenly appear at the negotiating table, but when he turned his head and thought that this company was originally started by Girls' Generation Jessica, it was not surprising.
He sat opposite Li Yuhao with a smile, and then said to Fujii Mina: "My daughter is also in the entertainment industry, she was a photo idol a few years ago, and she has been starring in variety shows recently. Ay.. I don't know who will inherit our family's property in the future?" This uncle may have remembered his daughter who was an artist when he saw Fujii Mina, and suddenly sighed, which made Li Yuhao not know how to answer.
Fortunately, the person in charge of the Japanese side immediately introduced Li Yuhao: "Hello Mr. Morishita, this is the chairman of our company: Li Yuhao." He also works in the entertainment industry, and our clothing is just a small side hustle that he and Miss Sika have developed, have you heard of CJ Entertainment in Korea?"
"Of course, I've heard that CJ Group, an entertainment company under CJ Group, has a relationship with Samsung, and our family has a partnership with Samsung's 'First Wool'. ”
Li Yuhao said with a smile: "Since you have cooperated with 'First Wool', do you know who the acting president of First Woolen is now?
After Li Yuhao's words came out, the people present were dumbfounded, and even the old man on the Japanese supplier's side shouted in surprise: "Huh?
The person in charge in Japan didn't know that Jessica was actually the acting president of 'Dai-ichi Wool'? Many of Korea's Dai-ichi Woolen Fabric's brand apparel are sold in Japan, so there are many cooperatives here, and if it had been revealed earlier that Jessica was the acting president of Dai-ichi Wool, then this time the matter would have been much simpler.
Looking at the exaggerated expression of the Japanese, he just smiled faintly and said, "Didn't you cooperate with the first wool weaving? Let's get someone to serve the food, we'll talk while eating, and I'll have to go to TV Asahi in the afternoon. ”
The person in charge went to call for the food here, but Li Yuhao sat in the private room and took out another cigarette and gave one to the president of the other party, the president of the other party looked at Li Yuhao's cigarette and asked: "Chinese cigarettes you smoke?" Obviously Li Yuhao is Korean, but he smokes Chinese cigarettes, which is very strange to him.
"Well, Chinese cigarettes are more to my taste. ”
At this time, the president asked Li Yuhao: "Can I call my daughter over for dinner? ”
"Absolutely. By the way, you can give me the quotation you adjusted this time, and I will ask someone to send it back to the head office in the afternoon to do the accounting, and we will make an appointment in two days after the specific discussion?"
"Good. The president here opened his bag and gave Li Yuhao a brown paper bag containing a quotation, and Li Yuhao turned his hand and pushed it to the person in charge here: "In the afternoon, you go back to the company and send the quotation back to South Korea, let the Korean company transfer to the first wool weaving, and let the first wool weaving make an accounting as soon as possible." I'll see the answer by tomorrow night at the latest. ”
After the conversation, the president here took his phone and called her daughter: "Are you working? By the way, the other party works for CJ Entertainment in Korea.
The president didn't know Lee Woo-ho, and the person in charge in front of him only said that Lee Woo-ho worked at CJ Entertainment, and did not introduce Lee Woo-ho's position. So he has been observing Li Yuhao, and he found out that this man is not bad from his simple demeanor and conversation, and his daughter really didn't find a man, so he wanted to introduce it.
After a while, the meal came up, and everyone simply drank wine, Li Yuhao didn't know much about drinking, so he only drank two glasses lightly on the pretext that he was going to the TV station in the afternoon. It is a common practice in Asian countries to negotiate business at the wine table.
Just as everyone was eating and chatting about topics unrelated to business, the door of the private room was opened, and a short-haired woman stood at the door, just in time to meet Li Yuhao's gaze...
