Chapter 361: Dumb Loss
Li Boqing was also a little speechless for a while, and dropped a sentence "I don't care so much, you can find a way to solve the ...... by yourself" and walked away.
Duan Yu is not in a hurry, anyway, the rubber industrial park is still in preparation, and it takes time to acquire land, build factories, and enter equipment, so he sent Zhang Wenwei to accompany the staff of the municipal government office to accompany those foreign businessmen and the working group to visit around every day, stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling people, so that the working group and foreign businessmen have a temper and it is not easy to have a temper. And he himself is busy with what he should be doing, and continues to advance his plan in an orderly manner.
In the end, those foreign businessmen couldn't sit still, and finally agreed to sit down and negotiate with Duan Yu, but their aggressive momentum did not weaken at all, and put forward three very harsh conditions, first, publicly apologize to them, continue to underwrite all rubber raw materials by them, second, compensate them for their losses of 100 million, and third, unconditionally continue to renew the contract with them after the contract expires, otherwise they will sue the international court, and they will also go around to publicize that the Qulong municipal government is not keeping its promises, and encourage their state-owned foreign businessmen who have invested in Huaxia to withdraw from Huaxia.
Duan Yu laughed as soon as he heard the three conditions put forward by these foreign businessmen, these foreign businessmen were undoubtedly lions with a big mouth, and there was no sincerity in negotiating at all, but he had already thought of countermeasures, and smiled unhurriedly and slightly: "I'm sorry, gentlemen, I can't agree to any of the three conditions you proposed, of course, it is your right to apply to the international tribunal for arbitration, and we will cooperate, but before that, I will build yƬ You should take a good look at the contract, we have not breached the ......."
Several foreign businessmen who came this time are H people, over the years they have regarded Huaxia as their place of nuggets, and they have spent most of the time in various parts of China for a year, and they have already become Huaxia Tong, although they have a translator, but they are purely for pretending to be compelled to match, they can not only understand but also speak fluent Huaxia.
And what they are best at is to take advantage of the Chinese people's unfamiliarity with the rules of the international market, and deliberately set up all kinds of contract traps when signing contracts, so that you can only be dumb and can't say what you suffer, and they themselves have hired a huge team of lawyers, and before signing a contract, they will repeatedly scrutinize each contract clause to ensure that it is beneficial to them.
Like the contract they signed with the rubber plantations in neighboring counties, it was specifically agreed that the price of their purchase of rubber raw materials should be 10% lower than the international market price, which is underwriting, but they can adjust their purchase volume according to their own inventory and the international market situation of rubber, which is equivalent to letting the supplier share the inventory risk for them, and the payment method is not the international payment in US dollars, but can freely choose to pay in US dollars or RMB, so that they can take advantage of the change in the currency exchange rate to make profits.
However, for the supplier, the conditions they put forward in the contract are very harsh, requiring the supplier not to sell the rubber to any other raw material buyer, if the breach of contract needs to pay a huge amount of compensation, and if the rubber provided does not meet their quality requirements, they will also be punished.
Basically, most of the terms of the contract are binding on the supplier, but there are very few terms binding on their purchaser, so when they heard Duan Yu asking them to take a closer look at the contract, they all laughed out loud and said contemptuously: "The contract has been repeatedly studied by our team of lawyers, and there is no problem, it is clearly written on it, you can't sell rubber to any other raw material buyer, otherwise you will have to pay us a huge amount of liquidated damages, don't you understand the contract?!......."
"I'm afraid it's you who didn't understand the contract!" Duan Yu smiled coldly and said: "I forgot to tell you that our Qulong City is going to set up Qulong Rubber Industry Group, and all rubber plantations and rubber product production plants will be merged into this rubber industry group in the form of capital conversion, so our rubber raw rubber will not be sold to any rubber original rubber buyers, but digested internally and used by ourselves, which is not a breach of contract...... right."
The smug laughter of the foreign businessmen stopped abruptly, their mouths opened wide, and they pointed at Duan Yu, "You... You ...... "You haven't held back a fart for a long time, they have never suffered such a big dumb loss, this is really a goose all day long but today was pecked by the geese!"
Seeing that a few foreign businessmen were deflated like a ball, Duan Yu laughed again, stood up and said loudly: "The purpose of cooperation is a win-win situation, and any behavior that damages the interests of the partners but makes a lot of money is short-sighted and not long-term, or that sentence, we in Qulong City welcome you to invest and cooperate, but the premise is mutual benefit and common development ......."
"Now you also have three options, one is to terminate the contract amicably and choose another supplier. 2. Join our rubber industry group and invest in our Qulong City, which will also help you reduce production and logistics costs. 3. Insist on continuing to perform the contract, I have no opinion, if we have a surplus of internal digestive gum, we will continue to supply it to you......!
Those foreign businessmen were so angry that they were about to vomit blood, but there was nothing they could do, Duan Yu seized the loophole in the terms of the contract, even if they applied to the international court for arbitration, they could only lose the case in the end, which would make them a laughing stock of their peers.
In the end, a few foreign businessmen chose to terminate the contract and left angrily, and a few foreign businessmen chose to stay, ready to continue to investigate, choose a piece of land to build a factory to join Qulong Rubber Industry Group, of course, no fool will choose the third option, unless there is something wrong with the brain. The working group also went back in disgrace, and the foreign businessmen themselves accepted their fate, and if they still did not give up, they would not be able to say anything.
This crisis is resolved, Duan Yu sent the working group back to the office and didn't sit down yet, Su Yun came again, and said in a hurry: "Mayor Duan, during this time, I made a comprehensive count of the rubber trees in all rubber plantations, and found a big problem. The latex glue required for the mattress must be less than eight years old, and the original rubber cut out of the rubber tree above the eighth age is too hard and does not meet the requirements, so we will face the problem of insufficient supply of latex raw materials in a year......".
Duan Yu was stunned for a moment, he has a specialization in the art industry, he is also a layman in the rubber industry, and the knowledge he has learned has also been found on the Internet during this time, so he also ignores this problem, this is troublesome, if the factory is built, but the raw materials cannot be supplied, it will really become a joke.
