Chapter 381: Triple the price

Seeing Jiang Xinxu's surprise, Sayyafman said embarrassedly: "You know, I just became the deputy prime minister, and the communications department is in charge of me. I have to ...... as soon as possible Yes, we want you to promise that you will build much faster than the United States and European countries. ”

Jiang Xinwei was stunned for a moment, but soon realized that he said in his heart: Hey, all officials in the world are the same, they all need their own political achievements. Doesn't the young prince in front of him just hope that he can do better than his predecessor? Doesn't he hope to use real facts -- or political achievements -- to tell the people of the whole country that he deserves to be deputy prime minister, and that the royal family and the government can give him more important responsibilities.

Of course, in addition to his desire to have a political achievement, another reason is that he has money, and he can use a lot of money to smash his political achievements.

Jiang Xinxu was very willing to help, he definitely gave the other party a reassuring pill first, and then waved the big knife and asked for money. He said: "Dear Your Excellency the Vice-Crown Prince, your country's merchants have a good business relationship with our company, and I am deeply impressed by the honesty, generosity and enthusiasm of your businessmen. For your country to improve the communication conditions, we are very happy to help, our company will do our best to help your country as soon as possible to update all the telephone network, as long as the conditions are right, we will definitely be able to other countries, including Europe and the United States, more than twice the speed of the completion of this plan. ”

Of course, this condition is as long as you have enough funds.

Surprised, Sayevman asked: "Can you build a communication network twice as fast?"

Jiang Xinwei nodded and said, "At least double." Your Excellency should know that we Chinese people are hardworking and willing to work, and when we encounter important things, whether it is a worker or a business executive, we can work overtime without complaint. Our standard working day is eight hours, but it is by no means eight hours as in Western countries. There was no time for coffee or rest, and as for working overtime, everyone was happy to do so. ”

Sayevman asked, "Isn't that too demanding?" What if they don't want to?"

Jiang Xinwei said: "Your Excellency should also see that our Huaxia Kingdom has too many people, and the underground resources are not rich. Our people do not have the same abundant oil resources as your country, and the only way to improve their own lives and make their families live better is to work hard. As long as our executives respect their labor and give them the compensation they deserve on the premise of considering their health, there is no problem with occasional overtime. ”

Sayevman nodded understandingly, and said, "We will fully consider this, and we will give a reasonable price in terms of equipment procurement and engineering construction." ”

Jiang Xinxu said in his heart: Isn't it just that I like you? Reasonable, if only reasonable. I'm too lazy to say nice things to you, too lazy to talk to you, if you don't give me a surprise price, our cooperation will definitely not be too pleasant. It's certain to work hard, but you don't necessarily work overtime without complaint.

Jiang Xinxu said: "In terms of price, I believe that Your Excellency will not let us down. On this point, I already know only from the merchants of your country. But I still have to say that in the case of conditions permitting. I hope this price is better, after all, there is a great demand for program-controlled switches in China. Our own supply is in short supply, and if you give us a price that is not much higher, our domestic communications department will not agree to the equipment they ordered to be shipped to your country.

As for sending high-level technical personnel from China's own telecommunications projects under construction to your country to participate in the construction, this is even more significant. Your Excellency may not know that there is a saying in our country that it is difficult to leave our homeland, that is, our people are reluctant to leave their homeland and go to a far away place unless they have to. Again. When our people arrive in your country, it must be very inconvenient, many are not accustomed to it, and it is impossible for them to go over willingly and work actively, without the stimulus of money. ”

Sayevman obviously doesn't care about Jiang Xinwei's extortion. Hurriedly said: "I understand, I understand." ”

Seeing that a preliminary consensus had been reached on the construction of communication networks and the procurement of telecommunications equipment, Jiang Xinwei did not dwell on this anymore, but instead asked: "Your Excellency wants to purchase a batch of luxury and high-end mobile phones? Do you have any specific requirements?"

Sayevman nodded and said, "Yes." There are no specific requirements, that is, it must be significantly different from ordinary mobile phones, not only the internal quality, but also the appearance. To make people know at a glance that luxury can only be used by the best people. ”

Jiang Xinwei was a little speechless about Sayevman's outspokenness. However, he pretended to be embarrassed: "Your Excellency, I really can't say anything about this...... I'm a little embarrassed to say. ”

Puzzled, Sayevman asked, "What's so embarrassing? Is it because I'm asking too much, or are you not able to produce it at all?"

Jiang Xinxu said: "It's not. …… To be honest, I'm embarrassed to ask for anything, after all, you have just agreed to purchase our telecommunications equipment at a high price, and hire our technical experts and construction workers at a high price. ”

Sayevman smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, you are too reserved, aren't you just worried that I won't be able to take out the money? Don't worry, you don't have to worry about money, I have money." Of course, I'm not a fool and won't spend money on purchases, but as long as it's useful, as long as it meets our hearts, it's perfectly appropriate to spend a little more. ”

Jiang Xinxu said: "I know. I mean, the price of our phones is really a bit expensive. …… For the price of telecommunications equipment and technical experts and workers in the construction of communication projects, I only hope that it is three times the price of similar equipment and the same level of labor costs in Europe and the United States, but this mobile phone is not this multiple......"

Sayevman was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, and he asked: "Mr. Jiang, the equipment and labor costs are as high as three times, or is it relative to the level of European and American countries, which is ...... That's too much, isn't it?...... As far as I know, the cost of labor in your country is very cheap......"

Jiang Xinwei smiled and said: "You get what you pay for, if you only ask us to build at the same speed as European and American countries, we only need the price of European and American countries." However, we are now committed to building at least twice as fast as in Europe and the United States. This has increased the pressure on us by far more than double, and at the same time, it has greatly advanced the access of your citizens to high-tech communication services, so that your abilities can be known to the people as soon as possible, and this value is even greater, isn't it?

Besides, if the wage income of your country's citizens does not exceed that of European and American countries? Our experts and workers serve in your country, not to mention equal pay for equal work, but at least there must not be much difference, right? If the difference is too great, the experts and workers will feel that it is discrimination and that your country is discriminating against us, and their enthusiasm will be greatly reduced, and the speed of construction will become sluggish. The ancient sages of our country said that we do not suffer from poverty but from inequality. There is nothing wrong with the same class of people, but there cannot be some people who have it and some people who don't, so if they are treated differently for a long time, there will be objections. ”

To a prince will be equal to the cow to play the piano, people are originally people who live at the top of life, they have enjoyed a life that ordinary people cannot enjoy since birth, but he is an official after all, Jiang Xinwei can still listen to what he said, especially if he knows that if he doesn't have too much money, it will be difficult to achieve his goal of building a communication network quickly.

It's just that the price of three times still makes him feel like he is being slaughtered, and he can't help but say: "Mr. Jiang, three times is too high, can you reduce it a little, how about two times?"

Jiang Xinwei originally had the intention of "asking for a price all over the sky and paying back the money on the spot", although the other party had a lot of money, but he couldn't ask for too much money, so as not to create a bad impression on the other party. Doing business with a country is about long-term interests, not a one-shot deal. Besides, only by bargaining can the other party feel that he is respected and he will have a sense of accomplishment.

Therefore, after listening to the other party's words, Jiang Xinxu said: "Compared to Your Excellency's requirements, three times is really not high. Your Excellency has been in the United States, and although you have not encountered any difficulties, you should have heard that when the Americans ask a company to increase their emergency services, the price is several times higher than usual. …… For the sake of friendship between our two countries, and to thank Your Excellency for visiting our company Feixun Technologies, I agree to reduce this number by 2.5 times. ”

Just when Sayevman hesitated whether to agree, Jiang Xinwei threw out another bait: "In terms of the price of luxury mobile phones, I can also provide you with some discounts." ”

Then he said sorry and walked to the reception room, said something to the secretary who was staying with Sayyafman's bodyguard outside the door, closed the door again, and said to Sayyafman: "Your Excellency, I have to say that you are very lucky. Our company has just recently designed two ultra-luxury mobile phones, which are ready to be given to senior leaders of our government. Executives and government officials at several large U.S. companies made similar requests, but we didn't agree. Your Excellency has now decided to purchase a large quantity of our telecommunications equipment, and as a token of appreciation, I plan to give priority to the supply of your country's top management. ”

With a hint of joy on his face, Sayevman asked, "You have already designed two luxury mobile phones, do you have any samples?"

Jiang Xinwei nodded and said, "Yes." I've asked my secretary to send someone to pick it up, please wait. ”

Sayevman asked, "Mr. Jiang, can you introduce a little bit about the features of these luxury mobile phones?"

Jiang Xinxu said: "This luxury mobile phone has three characteristics. The first feature is stable function and higher performance. All the electronics inside are of the highest military quality, and can withstand more water, gas, dust, and electromagnetic radiation......"
