Chapter 109: Rewarding
Bernard had already played his first hole card, and Zhao Ran had no choice but to take it. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info her and said: "Mr. Bernard, we will consider your suggestion, we need to negotiate, and give you an answer in the afternoon, can you see it?"
Bernard said, "Ok, beautiful Ms. Zhao, then we'll talk again in the afternoon." Then he turned to Mu Dong and said, "Mr. Mu, see you in the afternoon." ”
Mu Dong spoke: "Mr. Bernard, in fact, I have a piece of gossip to tell you, we already know that our competitor is the Minglang Group. Their practices have been suspected of malicious bidding, and we are filing a complaint with the government, and if the appeal is successful, it is possible that they will not be able to deliver on their promise to you. ”
Bernard laughed and said: "Mr. Mu, you are very interesting, I am a businessman, what grievances do you have between the two families, I don't want to know, I only choose the right partner, to be honest, I am looking forward to working with you, see you in the afternoon!"
With that, Bernard turned around and left with his entourage.
An hour-long meeting, and it was just a hasty affair.
The problem now is that price reduction is necessary, but how much to reduce is the most critical issue. If it is too much to lose profits, and to reduce it too much, Bernard is certainly unwilling.
In fact, Mu Dong and Zhao Ran both understand that no matter how the price is reduced, Bernard will not be satisfied, and with such an opportunity for two to compete, he will definitely make good use of it and try to suppress the price.
The best way is to kick out the Minglang Group, and then reduce the price a little, take into account Bernard's face, and then continue to cooperate happily.
Now that this level has been discussed, Mu Dong can only take one step at a time. According to the agreement, he called Liu Jingyun and told him in detail about the negotiations.
After listening to this, Liu Jingyun said "I know" and hung up the phone. Subsequently, she called Dong Shuying, went to the exhibition site, and went straight to the booth of Minglang Group.
Zhang Yuelang was drinking tea in the booth, and when he saw Liu Jingyun coming in, he quickly got up to greet him.
Although Minglang Group is not in Shuhe County, but the main industry associations in the willow weaving industry are under the leadership of Liu Jingyun, so Zhang Yuelang must receive this leader well, not to mention, in the past, Minglang Group can occasionally receive some orders from industry associations.
Liu Jingyun straightened her face, accompanied by Zhang Yuelang, looked around at the booth, and then several people sat down and chatted over tea.
Liu Jingyun said: "Boss Zhang, I heard that your performance in this exhibition is good, are you talking about a big order from Europe?"
Zhang Yuelang said proudly: "Yes, County Magistrate Liu, we are negotiating with the merchants, and it is estimated that we will be able to sign the contract soon." ”
Liu Jingyun took a sip of tea and said casually, "Oh, yes? It seems that I am going to congratulate you." How did I hear that you were maliciously bidding and stealing other people's orders?"
Zhang Yuelang's smile froze on his face, and he was beating a drum in his heart. What do you mean? Liu Jingyun wants to stand up for that kid Mu Dong?
He hurriedly said seriously: "County Magistrate Liu, don't listen to their nonsense, Mr. Bernard was originally our customer and has cooperated for many years. ”
Liu Jingyun slowly put down the teacup and said without raising her head: "I know this, but as far as I know, Mr. Bernard's order has been discussed again by Dadong Company in September, I don't know when Boss Zhang contacted this order?"
Zhang Yuelang was a little stunned, and he muttered for a long time without speaking.
Liu Jingyun continued to say lightly: "Boss Zhang, you also know that malicious bidding is prohibited within the association, if you still insist on going your own way, I will start the procedure and expel Minglang Group from the industry association, in that case, it may not be very good-looking." ”
Then, Liu Jingyun stood up and said to herself: "Some people, the bottom of the buttocks is not clean, but they always stare at other people's things, why bother." Hey, I don't know how the people from the tax bureau are investigating, why are there always people evading taxes?"
After speaking, Liu Jingyun didn't say hello and left with Dong Shuying.
Zhang Yuelang's sweat came out all of a sudden, and he suddenly thought of his father's phone call yesterday.
It turned out that it was really Liu Jingyun who used some strength to support Mu Dong. It's just that Liu Jingyun, a deputy county magistrate, how did he instruct the tax bureau in the city?
Zhang Yuelang didn't think much about it, and quickly called his father and explained the situation here.
When Zhang Shaokun heard this, he was silent for a long time, and finally said slowly: "Yuelang, this order, find a reason to let it go." and Zhao Ran, also take a break for the time being, don't disturb her for a short time. ”
Zhang Yuelang said: "Dad, Liu Jingyun is just a deputy county magistrate, can we move around and carry this matter over?"
Zhang Shaokun sighed and said in a deep voice: "Son, I have found out clearly, the investigation of the tax bureau was made by the leaders of the province, and we can't force it." Besides, as long as we let go of this order, I guess the final result will be thunder and rain, let it go. ”
Zhang Yuelang hung up the phone in a frustration, sat in his seat and was stunned for a while, then got up and went out.
A quarter of an hour later, in a nearby hotel, Zhang Yuelang said helplessly to Bernard: "I'm sorry, Mr. Bernard, due to our calculation error, there was a problem with the quotation we gave you before, so we can't continue to serve you, please understand." ”
After speaking, Zhang Yuelang got up, bowed deeply, turned around and left, leaving Bernard with a shocked face and sitting on the sofa.
After a while, Bernard relieved himself, quickly dialed Zhao Ran's mobile phone, and said gently: "Beautiful Ms. Zhao, I don't know how your new quotation is doing, I can't wait to talk to you again as soon as possible." ”
Bernard is also anxious, this batch of goods, he also has a time limit here, originally this time he just wanted to use the Canton Fair to reduce the price. Now that Zhang Yuelang has retreated, Zhao Ran must not have problems here, otherwise if the construction period is missed, Bernard will suffer heavy losses.
Zhao Ran had already received a call from Dong Shuying before, knowing that County Magistrate Liu had come forward to warn Zhang Yuelang, and now he received a call from Bernard, and he was overjoyed, it seems that the problem has been solved!
She pretended to be a lazy voice, and said slowly: "Mr. Bernard, you also know that the price of wicker has risen a lot this year, and the cost is too high! We have been calculating for a long time, and we don't know where we can reduce the cost, we are really embarrassed, otherwise, you can give us a little more time, and we will talk again tomorrow morning, is it okay?"
Bernard hurriedly said: "Beautiful Ms. Zhao, I have been very busy recently, I don't have much time, let's talk in the afternoon, we both have to be sincere, and we must settle things as soon as possible." You have a saying in China that is called 'seizing the day,' and the evening means the afternoon, right? Therefore, we will talk about it in detail in the afternoon. ”
Zhao Ran also knew that the heat was almost over, so he agreed, and the two hung up the phone, each breathing a sigh of relief on both ends of the phone.
At half past one in the afternoon, the two sides of the negotiations sat together again.
In the end, after Dadong's quotation was lowered by 2%, the two sides quickly finalized the contract, and soon printed the contract text on the spot.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the two parties officially signed the contract. So far, this order, which is worth nearly 5 million euros, has finally settled and settled on Dadong.
In the evening, the two sides held a celebration reception, and in the midst of the staggering, Zhao Ran, who was slightly drunk, attached to Mu Dong's ear, and said softly: "Boss Mu, in addition to this big order today, we have also signed other orders of 1.5 million US dollars, get ready for your bonus." ”
Mu Dong was ecstatic when he heard this, what is the bonus, what he earns is the big one. It turns out that the willow export industry is really like what County Magistrate Liu said, there are many opportunities.
Well, I'm going to toast her with two more glasses of wine. Thinking of this, Mu Dong held a wine glass and walked towards Liu Jingyun, who was talking to Bernard.
That night, Mu Dong, who was slightly drunk, called Xiao Xiao and talked about the order situation in Guangzhou, and finally, Boss Mu said to Xiao Xiao: "Daughter-in-law, maybe when you finish your maternity leave, you can resign directly." ”
Xiao Xiao chuckled and said in a low voice: "Husband, since you have a goal, let's work hard." ”
The next day is October 21st, and it is also the last day of the home furnishing exhibition area, all the personnel of Dadong Company are like a spinning top crazy operation, not only in their own exhibition area and customers to negotiate and negotiate, but also take the initiative to go to other areas to send leaflets, guide customers to visit and negotiate, compared to this, Mu Dong, a layman, has nothing to do, so he took the initiative to undertake the logistics work, for everyone to prepare refreshments, Fruit, when there are customers to help serve tea and pour water, at noon also went out to buy lunch for everyone, his warm service, got a lot of beauties...... and the unanimous praise of the two old men, everyone praised him one after another.
Hard work pays off, especially the efforts of the right direction and decision-making, coupled with the strong support of County Magistrate Liu, the rewards are even greater. At the end of the day, Dadong won another $1.4 million export contract.
Cumulatively, the little-known Dadong Company, the Canton Fair, with 5 million euros plus 3.9 million US dollars of export orders, ranked third in the industry association, and stepped into the ranks of first-class willow exporters, causing an exclamation in the industry.
In the evening, all the exhibits on the exhibition shelves were sold out, and there were merchants from Yiwu who specially purchased willow samples, although the price was not high, but it was much more cost-effective than shipping back.
Other TVs and broadcast equipment, as well as tables, chairs and benches, were all rented from the organizing committee, and they were all returned one by one, and the entire exhibition area was cleared, and the five-day home furnishing exhibition was over.
That night, Mu Dong held a banquet to entertain everyone, and specially invited Liu Jingyun and Dong Shuying to participate. During the banquet, Liu Jingyun put down her value, smiled with a smile on her face, chatted with everyone enthusiastically, raised a glass and drank together, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.
Zhao Ran gained Liu Jingyun's friendship, since the last time the two sisters met, this title was fixed, and at this banquet, it was displayed in front of everyone, which made Zhao Ran very happy. She knew that all this was stained with Mu Dong's light, so she strengthened her confidence in cooperating with Mu Dong.
