Chapter 71 Strategic Cooperation (B)
"Let's take a step back, thirty-five percent, no less. Mr. Smith, you must know that you are not the only weapon business in the United States. Jiang Chen squinted his eyes and smiled, this is to tell them that we have the initiative.
"Okay, deal, but we're the only one who is best suited for you. Smith replied with a smile.
Seeing Smith's somewhat happy look, Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Mr. Smith, we still have an agreement that has not yet been negotiated, and our cooperation is still not successful until this is negotiated." ”
"I know. Smith laughed and said, "But I'm sure we'll work together." In order to show our sincerity, we are willing to be an exclusive agent at a price of $1 million per year. ”
"No, no, no, Mr. Smith, 1 million is really insignificant compared to this huge market, and we don't see your sincerity. Jiang Chen shook his head and refused, this Lao Mei is really treacherous, because I really don't understand Lao Mei's market conditions.
"Then I don't know Jiang, what is the price you are looking forward to. Smith said helplessly, this Jiang is too shrewd.
"For a fixed price, I'm five million dollars, and that's going to grow 10 percent a year, and we're going to package and sell it exclusively in the civilian market in North America. Jiang Chen stretched out his finger and said, Jiang Chen threw out a water belt, first testing the reality of this old beauty.
"No way, the price is just outrageous, I can't accept it, and I'm sure our board won't accept it either. Smith hurriedly refused, this price and the low price given by the board of directors are too much worse, if it were not for the fierce competition in the domestic market, he would not seek cooperation with Jiang Chen, through Huaguo's low processing price and Jiang Chen's excellent performance of these firearms will definitely stand in the sales market, now this price is so high, if you agree, it will be no profit.
"Then I don't know how much Mr. Smith will pay?" Jiang Chen asked rhetorically. That's how to do business, it's good to bargain if it's high, if it's low, he still has to bargain, it's better to take the initiative higher.
"Two million, two percent a year. Smith said that this price is close to the bottom line given by the board of directors.
"No, it's too low for me to accept. Jiang Chen shook his head and said: "In this way, Smith, I also very much want to make up this cooperation, you see if this will work, four million, an increase of eight percent per year, we will sell it to you in the future, and the gun will be transformed and optimized and upgraded, you know the law of the United States, in addition to a special gun license, citizens have no right to use automatic weapons, so we have to modify it to semi-automatic." It's a big hassle for us. ”
"No, no, no, Jiang, the price you want is too high, about your firearm modification, we can provide you with equipment, but your price must be reduced. Smith shook his head.
The two sides have had a few rounds of talking, but the negotiations have reached a stalemate, and now all kinds of temptations have ended, everyone's bottom line has almost touched, and now we have to quote the real price. At the suggestion of everyone, the meeting was adjourned for one hour, and the final decision was made after one hour. In fact, this is all kinds of discussions, to see where the final bottom line is, Jiang Chen wants to discuss it with everyone, and Smith wants to ask his domestic board of directors for advice to see the opinions over there.
The hour passed quickly, Jiang Chen discussed it with the leaders, compared to the leader who came this time, Jiang Chen couldn't ignore it too much, otherwise it would be very troublesome for the relationship to stalemate. Then he had a small meeting with Ma Jun Dongzi Liu Yun and they discussed it, in fact, it was mainly because Ma Jun and Liu Yun had more ideas, and the fat man and Dongzi ate it when they were patronizing. I ate something by the way, took a break and started the negotiations again.
"Smith, how are you resting?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
"Haha, that's very good, Jiang, what about you?" Smith replied with a smile.
"I'm fine, I just had a short nap and had a sweet dream. Jiang Chen replied with a smile, this break is fake, the temptation is real, and both sides are inquiring about the low price after the other party's discussion.
"Oh, I'm curious what kind of dreams you had. Smith said with interest.
"Haha, I dreamed that our cooperation was successful, and we were celebrating with red wine. Jiang Chen replied with a smile, in fact, does he have time to dream, these are all made up by him casually.
"Haha, it just so happens that I brought a nice bottle of local wine from Southern California and let's have a few drinks in a while. Smith smiled and pandered.
"Hehe, definitely. Jiang Chen agreed with a smile.
"Mr. Jiang Chen, let's get to the point, in order to show our sincerity again, three million per year, plus an increase of three percent, this is already our limit. After some politeness, Smith finally quoted a low price.
Jiang Chen also thought about it when he heard this, this was already the low price on Smith's side, and no matter how high it was, he couldn't get anywhere, so he raised his head and said: "We can accept three million, but three percent is less, and it will increase to five percent, this is our bottom line." In return, we decided to ask you to help us with the production equipment upgrade, which is deducted from the required funds. You know that this is at stake in the quality of the weapons we will provide you with in the future, and there is no room for error. ”
Smith lowered his head and discussed with his entourage for a while, stood up and stretched out his hand to Jiang Chen with a smile and said, "Then, Jiang, I wish us a happy cooperation." ”
Jiang Chen also stood up, held Smith's hand and said with a smile: "Happy cooperation." ”
"Haha, let's go and try the bottle of wine I brought. Smith put his arm around Jiang Chen's shoulders and smiled.
"Hehe, I'm afraid not, Smith, after this cooperation is negotiated, I still have to report to my superiors, I can only wait until the day we sign the contract. Jiang Chen refused with a smile, because he really had something to do, and when he was resting, the leader of the team told them that the two sides had already contacted them. Jiang Chen knew that the fish he was about to catch had been hooked, so he had to hurry up and tighten the fishing line to prevent the fish from running away.
"Oh, that's a pity. Smith said with a look of disappointment.
"Hehe, Smith, we have a chance, and we have a long way to go. Jiang Chen smiled and comforted.
"Hehe, yes, it's a long time coming. Smith laughed too.
Jiang Chen raised his hands and congratulated: "I wish all the book friends who are watching this book, a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, and a happy family!"
Smith squinted his eyes and stretched out his hand, "The congratulations are over, are you going to count the tickets! Collect! Or give a reward to buy a mooncake." ”
