The glorious California sunset sun shines through the glass skylight of the airport dome, and the breeze with a faint smell of sea is blowing on people's faces, and passengers who have just stepped off the plane behaved differently.

Stepping on the soil of the United States, Zhang Heng quickly adapted to the time and space of Los Angeles, Lin Liang had several cross-continent experiences, and his performance was also very natural, Chen Zhenning and Bai Shaoyi were still a little confused until they walked out of the customs.

Limbo let out an excited cry and threw herself into the arms of an old white man, kissing him desperately on the cheek.

Everyone watched silently, and it was natural to understand that they only returned home once a year.

Xu Guanjie said: "Zhang Heng, my father-in-law is here to pick us up, the taxi stand is 500 meters in front, you pay attention to safety, you must come over tomorrow when you are free." ”

"Don't worry, we'll find a place, I'll come tomorrow when I'm free. Zhang Heng sent the three of them away with a smile, before Xu Guanjie offered to send them to the hotel in person, but he politely refused.

The group then walked to the taxi stand, took a taxi, and spent nearly an hour trudging through the surging traffic of Los Angeles to reach the Hilton Hotel between the Los Angeles Convention Center and Union Station.

After getting out of the taxi, looking at the luxurious main building of the hotel in front of him, Lin Liang, who had been looking gloomy since getting off the plane, quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but when they checked in at the front desk, his face was once again difficult to look at.

"Boss, do you want to book a single room for you anymore?" In the elevator, Lin Liang asked in a low voice.

Zhang Heng waved his hand: "No need, I'll sleep in the same room with Zhen Ning." ”

Chen Zhenning said indignantly: "The Americans are too deductible, the boss must live in a luxury room." ”

Lin Liang and Bai Shaoyi were also full of anger, 3M didn't send someone to pick them up at the airport, and the room was only arranged with two standard rooms, Lin Liang had told them before that Zhang Heng would go to the United States in person.

"We finally booked two rooms and paid for the room, so don't be too them, after all, for 3M, we are really insignificant customers. Zhang Heng said indifferently.

He was also unhappy in his heart, but what could he do?

Thinking about the just-concluded trip to RB, he had to admit that it was not for nothing that the rise of RB people and even surpassed the United States in many fields.

Americans are too big, both technically and in terms of how they deal with people.

Seeing that the three of them were depressed, Zhang Heng smiled and said: "Don't be depressed, go to the room to take a shower and change clothes, I will take you to Hollywood for dinner, maybe you can meet a big star." ”

"Boss, that's great!" Bai Shaoyi cheered, "I hope to meet Mia Farrow." ”

"Who?" Zhang Heng didn't remember who this star was for a while.

"It's the one who played "The Devil's Child", directed by Polanski. Bai Shaoyi said, "Yesterday we passed by the Dahua Theater, and the one on the poster at the door. ”

"Oh. Zhang Heng suddenly realized that he had some impressions of this female star, and he had lived with Woody Allen for many years in the future, and later became famous all over the world for exposing the indecent relationship between her boyfriend and her adopted daughter.

Because of this conversation between the two, everyone's mood increased a lot for a while, Zhang Heng glanced at Bai Shaoyi, who was full of emotion, and nodded secretly, this guy is very good.

When they arrived at the room, they washed up and rested, and when it was almost 19 o'clock, several people gathered in Zhang Heng's room, holding a map to discuss which hotel to go to, and at this moment, someone came to the door.

The name of the person is William, is the senior director of the sales department of 3M, Zhang Heng contacted 3M for the first time was the contact person, this time he was responsible for leading the team to Los Angeles to participate in the exhibition, and it was he who sent an invitation to Daheng Paper.

Zhang Heng is the major shareholder of Daheng Printing Paper, but he does not hold any legal position in the company, there is no employment contract between him and Daheng Company, in fact, there is no possibility, otherwise it is child labor, Lin Liang simply introduced him as a director of Daheng Printing Paper, although this is not in accordance with the law.

Looking at the slightly immature young man in front of him, William was obviously stunned, and then stretched out his hand with a smile on his face and said: "Hello Zhang Dong, I have communicated with you on the phone for a long time, and I have always heard of your name later, but I didn't expect me to be so young, it is really shocking." ”

It is impossible for him not to pay attention to this teenager, the owner of the Post-It patent is Huaheng Holdings in the Cayman Islands, and the authorship belongs to this person named HengChang, and this person is also the majority shareholder of all the companies that float on the surface of the other party.

is not from a big Chinese family, but he was able to work hard to make a career at a young age.

William shook hands with Zhang Heng with a smile and secretly admired.

"William, thank you 3M for this kind invitation, I don't know if you have any advice now?"

Zhang Heng showed impeccable politeness, but William sensitively heard a trace of detachment, he smiled and looked at the other three.

Zhang Heng smiled, and there was a strong undoubted in his words: "They are all important employees of the company, you can say it if you have something." ”

William nodded, sat down on the couch, and said straight to the point: 3M wants to buy out the exclusive rights of all Daheng Printing Paper products in the North American continent.

To his surprise, Zhang Heng only thought about it for less than a minute before agreeing.

3M's plan was expected by Daheng and a group of managers.

What is hidden behind this sudden invitation?

When I was in Tokyo, Zhang Heng, Lin Liang, Jiexi, He Jie and others discussed it over the phone, and made a lot of relevant plans for this.

That's why!

If 3M is very sincere to ask for the North American agency of Daheng Printing Paper, Zhang Heng and others are happy to see it, after all, the other party's sales channels in the United States and North America are very perfect, and there will be no doubt about the sales volume, and Daheng Printing Paper can take advantage of this to recoup funds for rapid development.

If Daheng Printing Paper comes to promote investment, it will not only cost money, but also take an extremely long time, Zhang Heng can't afford to wait, in his heart, Daheng Printing Paper is just the cash cow of Daheng Technology, he didn't want to be deeply involved in this industry.

Besides, 3M is the most important supplier of raw materials for Daheng printing paper, Zhang Heng hopes to maintain long-term cooperation between the two sides, everyone can make money to achieve a win-win situation is the best, in addition, he also hopes to be able to through this cooperation, by the way, from 3M to get some of the technology authorization he has long wanted.

However, William's next request made Daheng and his gang dumbfounded.

All products of Daheng Printing Paper are not allowed to use posters and Post-It trademarks when sold in North America, and the outer packaging can only be marked with the manufacturer's letterhead in the most corner, and the 3M brand and trademark must be marked in important positions.

This means that in North America, Daheng Printing Paper is just an OEM manufacturer, and all the market image is obtained by 3M.

Zhang Heng was silent for a moment, and said with a solemn face: "What about the price?"

"We've investigated your company's pricing system," William said with a big grin, not paying any attention to the ugly faces of the four people in front of him.

"In line with the desire of long-term friendly cooperation with your company, 3M is willing to accept the same FOB supply price as the RB market, 0.75 Hong Kong dollars per copy of ordinary newspaper stickers, 0.35 Hong Kong dollars per label and sticky note sticker, and color photo stickers are not in our consideration for the time being. ”

In 1980, 3M officially sold the post-it cards to dealers in the United States at a factory price of 80 cents per copy.

Although it is only 1972, and although the dollar will depreciate for a long time in the future, you can't give a low price of 13 cents.

At this time, as long as there is no one on the planet who does business, the price of supplying the American market should be the highest!

Otherwise, what else do you do with foreign trade?

Before the construction of the world factory in Huaxia, this was the real situation of international trade.

It can be seen from this that in the future, it is not difficult to understand how many countries and people China will take away their jobs and interests, and it will be criticized and criticized in the international community.

Whether it is a company or a country, the road to rise will always hinder the original vested interests, this road will never be calm, and it is destined to step on countless corpses and bones to move forward.

3M is really a good one-handed wishful thinking, Zhang Heng was full of emotion, hehe sneered.
