When I arrived at the conference room half an hour early the next morning, he was already there, with a few documents in hand, and he was looking through the materials with a serious expression. Hearing the sound of me entering the door, he looked up, looked down slightly, motioned for me to sit next to him, and then lowered his head and continued to flip through the papers.

Only a dozen centimeters away from him, I can smell the faint mint aroma on his body, it may be that he took a shower gel in the morning and used it, or it may be that he sprayed perfume, it smells very good. I glanced at him slightly, he was completely immersed in the information in front of him, the side face lines were as hard as a knife, there was a faint blue under the eye sockets, and he was slightly tired, he didn't sleep last night. I turned around and focused on the documents I had prepared.

At 9:55, the company's driver Lao Xu knocked on the door and came in, followed by three foreigners, one of whom I know, is Kevin, the purchasing director of TS in the United States, he is the one who usually connects with me in business, and the other two don't know, but looking at Kevin's respectful attitude towards the two of them, the position of these two people should be above him, I guess that the oldest foreigner who looks like he is in his fifties is the general manager.

As soon as the three of them came in, Gu Feng got up and walked over unhurriedly: "Mike, howareyoudoing?" He greeted with a polite smile and stretched out his hand to shake the eldest foreigner. It seems that I guessed correctly, Mike is the general manager.

Mike gave full play to Lao Mei's enthusiastic personality, shook Gu Feng's hand vigorously, and smiled brightly: "OhCharles, myoldfriend, howiseverythinggoingon?"

It turns out that his English name is Charles, and the two are still old acquaintances, so it seems that the acquisition should be easier to discuss.

After a pleasant exchange, they sat down and started today's topic.

After Gu Feng proposed the initial acquisition plan, the little old man named Mike frowned, with a very embarrassed expression, my heart chuckled, it seems that I was blind and objective just now. Sure enough, Mike began to raise the unfavorable conditions in our proposal, overemphasizing the many potential risks that these so-called adverse conditions would pose to their company's future growth.

Although I think Gu Feng's conditions are very reasonable, Mike's questioning is not unreasonable, and he can't think of a rebuttal for a while. Mike's implication was that everyone present understood that he was negotiating conditions. In business, there are no eternal friends in the mall, only eternal interests. I couldn't help but look at Gu Feng, and my heart began to be a little nervous.

After listening to Mike's serious questioning, his expression was light, and he always had a polite and determined smile on his face. He took the contract and report that I had prepared, opened the folder, put it on the table in front of Mike, and stated the annual purchase volume of TS company in the past five years, the purchase volume has been decreasing year by year, although the year-on-year proportion is not very large, but the product line is gradually decreasing, and new products can no longer be pushed.

He picked up his own document again, and put it in front of Mike, stating that TS's sales in North America in the past five years have also decreased year by year, and sales have decreased by 50% year-on-year this year, and the main support for sales is our company's product line, and most of the new products that TS cooperates with other channels are dusty in the warehouse, and the North American stores have closed 30%, and the closure tide continues, and it is expected that another 20% of the stores will be closed in the first quarter.

In other words, TS is currently eating the old book, and the power of life and death of this old book can almost be said to be in the hands of our company, once we stop supplying, TS may face bankruptcy.

After listening to Gu Feng's statement, Mike's determination on his face was a little shaken.

He was silent for a few seconds, then turned his head to discuss in a low voice with the purchasing manager and purchasing supervisor beside him.

Looking at their serious expressions, I knew that Gu Feng's words had worked, and with the real data in front of them, it was difficult for them to bluff.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but look at Gu Feng again, who knew that he happened to look at it too, his eyes were faint, but there seemed to be a hint of a smile.
