Chapter 179: Expanding Cooperation
In Xiao Ping's impression, Song Lei had never been so sentimental, so he immediately asked strangely: "What's wrong with you, sighing for a long time?"
Song Lei said slowly: "I will be a senior in the second half of the year, and many classmates have begun to contact the internship unit, and I am worried about this matter!"
"I thought it was something big. Xiao Ping breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Isn't it just an internship, it's a big deal to come to my company, even if you don't go to work, I will give you an excellent evaluation." ”
Song Lei said without hesitation: "No, I want to see what my true ability is, don't rely on others to help, even you!"
"Yes, you are in charge of your business. Hearing Song Lei's resolute attitude, Xiao Ping naturally wouldn't force her, and after pausing for a while, he couldn't help but smile and ask, "That...... After your internship, will you be considered a graduate?
At first, Song Lei didn't quite understand what Xiao Ping meant, but after thinking about it for a while, she understood, stretched out her hand and hit Xiao Ping and said, "I know that if I think about these things, of course, I will not graduate until I get my graduation certificate!"
Xiao Pepper hit a certain part of Xiao Ping's body that had not completely calmed down, making him gasp involuntarily, fully understanding the true meaning of pain and happiness. The two chatted for a while, and finally slowly fell asleep.
The next day, Xiao Ping had to rush back to the farm, and Song Lei had to go to class, so both of them got up early. Xiao Ping saw the two boxes of tea when he was packing his luggage, and couldn't help but feel moved, and took them out to Song Lei and said, "I heard that our father and uncle love tea, and these two boxes of tea are just for them." ”
"Shameless, it's my dad, not our dad!" Song Lei was ostensibly correcting Xiao Ping. But in fact, the heart is sweet.
Xiao Pepper looked at these two boxes of tea leaves without any trademark, and couldn't help asking: "What kind of tea is this, my father and uncle are very tricky when they drink tea......"
"Of course I'm sending good tea!" Xiao Ping said confidently: "This is this year's new Longjing, I fried it myself, and even the local roasted tea master said that I fried it well!"
Hearing that this tea was fried by Xiao Ping himself, Song Lei was naturally happier in her heart, but she said with an unhappy expression on the surface: "Okay." If you have my father's gift but not mine, no! My birthday is two months away, and I'll want a gift from you!"
For Song Lei's request, Xiao Ping of course agreed. was so happy that Pepper hugged him and kissed him. The two lingered for a while, and seeing that it was too late, Xiao Ping sent Song Lei to school. Then he went back to the farm alone.
Xiao Ping has only been away for two days, and the situation on the farm has not changed much. However, the tea trees he planted have changed significantly, and it has only been more than a day, and the tea trees have begun to draw new shoots, and the leaves that used to wilt have all regained their vitality. It seems that the environment in the demon refining pot is very suitable for the growth of tea trees, and it will not be long before the tea harvest can begin.
After inspecting the demon refining pot, Xiao Ping would sit in front of the small tree next to the spring and carve the jade leaves as it was. Sometimes he would carve for a long time, and sometimes he would carve a few knives and then stop, depending on how he was in and how he felt at the time. The first leaves on the jadeite have only a vague outline from the beginning. It gradually becomes vivid and full of aura. Although the carving work is only partially completed, it is already enough to make people fall in love with the delicate jade leaves. Xiao Ping was also very satisfied with his ability to have such knife skills, and planned to hurry up to carve out this leaf, and wait for Song Lei to make a birthday gift for her on her birthday.
Such peaceful days lasted for a few days, and came to an end with a visit from Hideto Takahashi.
Because Xiao Ping has not released the evidence that Hideto Takahashi stole koi. So when the Japanese saw him, they were not as nervous as before, but came up to greet him with a smile on their faces: "Xiao Sang, we meet again, how are you doing?"
Xiao Ping smiled: "It's okay, Mr. Takahashi, what kind of wind is blowing you here again?"
"I came to pick up the second batch of vegetable seeds. After a few dealings, Hideto Takahashi also knows a little about Xiao Ping. Said directly to him: "Besides...... I have also been entrusted by the President to discuss with you on behalf of Koshita Co., Ltd. about the expansion of our cooperation. ”
Takahashi Hideto's words made Xiao Ping come to his senses, and he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "This is a good opportunity to make money, anyway, it's foreigner's money, if you don't make it, you won't make it in vain!"
Thinking of this, Xiao Ping had a better attitude towards Hideto Takahashi, and said to him with a smile: "It's good to expand cooperation, come on, let's talk slowly in the office!"
Hideto Takahashi had a great responsibility to come to see Xiao Ping this time, and President Ichiro Hirogen personally asked him to persuade Xiao Ping to increase the supply of seeds. Seeing that Xiao Ping was very interested in the expansion cooperation he proposed, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the vegetables grown by Kohei Co., Ltd. using the seeds provided by Kohei have just been put on the market, and they have caused a great sensation in Japan. These vegetables have not only become the preferred ingredient for top hotels, but also for the general public. Dozens of tons of vegetables were sold out not long after they hit the market, and many people called the company to ask where they could sell their vegetables.
Under these circumstances, Hirogen Ichiro ordered on the one hand to expand the scale of cultivation and sow all the remaining seeds, and on the other hand, asked Takahashi Hideto to negotiate with Xiao Ping, hoping to get more seeds from him to ensure market supply. Of course, the popularity of these vegetables also strengthened Hirogen Ichiro's confidence in the future of Koshito Co., Ltd. to set up its own business. He ordered the research department to increase the cultivation of vegetable seeds, and as soon as the contract with Xiao Ping expired, he began to grow vegetables with the seeds he cultivated. In addition to occupying the Japanese domestic market, it is also necessary to compete with Xiao Ping for the share of the whole world and even the Chinese market.
Hideto Takahashi was aware of this opportunity from the company, but of course he would not tell Xiao Ping about it, but only talked to him about increasing the supply of seeds.
"Well...... I'm afraid it's a bit of a problem!" Although Xiao Ping was willing in his heart, he said with great embarrassment on the surface: "Mr. Takahashi, it's not that I don't want to expand cooperation with you, it's just that the number of cultivation seeds is limited, if the number of cultivation seeds is increased, my own side will not be enough!"
Hideto Takahashi has also been in the business world for more than ten years, so he naturally won't take Xiao Ping's words seriously, in his opinion, Xiao Ping's words are just a bargaining chip to force himself to make greater concessions. Fortunately, before Hideto Takahashi came to see Xiao Ping, Hirogen Ichiro had instructed him that the company could make some concessions as long as Xiao Ping agreed to provide more vegetable seeds.
With the president's approval, Takahashi Hideto said unhurriedly: "Xiao Sang, we also know that this request will cause some pressure on you, but we are willing to compensate for it." Like what...... We can invest in the expansion of your seed base, and we can even provide technical management and personnel training, what do you think?"
The compensation offered by Hideto Takahashi seems to be sincere and can indeed solve the problem of seed production, but in fact, it is a hidden evil. If the influence of Koshimi Co., Ltd. had penetrated into the seed base, they would undoubtedly have a greater grasp of self-reliance.
It's a pity that Takahashi Hideto's thoughts were completely in vain, and Xiao Ping didn't have any seed base at all. He bought all the seeds at the agricultural technology station on the outskirts of the provincial capital, and he could sow them by dipping them in the spring of the demon refining pot for a day, and he didn't need any investment from the Japanese.
So Xiao Ping was not interested in Takahashi Hideto's suggestion at all, he just looked at each other with a smile, until the Japanese were a little restless, and then he smiled faintly: "I will solve the problem of the seed base myself, so I won't ask your company to help." If your company really wants to compensate, it may be possible to do so in other ways. ”
Seeing that Xiao Ping did not completely close the door to the negotiation, Hideto Takahashi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although Xiao Ping didn't say a word just now, the pressure on Hideto Takahashi was very great, and even he was not so nervous when facing the president. At this time, Takahashi Hideto didn't dare to play any tricks, and he didn't care about wiping the cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly said: "If that's the case, we are willing to make some concessions on the purchase price of the seeds, which can be increased by 10% on the original basis, what do you think?"
This is also the bottom line that Ichiro Hirogen gave to Hideto Takahashi, who should not have shown his hole cards so quickly at the negotiation table. But Hideto Takahashi was really frightened by Xiao Ping, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't help but say the number.
Looking at Takahashi Hideto's forehead full of cold sweat, Xiao Ping knew that this guy was not lying, and smiled slowly: "Since you are so sincere, it will be unkind for me to refuse again." Say, how much more supply needs to be added?"
Seeing that Xiao Ping was finally relieved, Takahashi Hideto wiped his sweat and said, "Double, at least!"
Anyway, it was a money-making business, Xiao Ping had no reason to really refuse, and immediately nodded and said, "Okay, it's decided!"
"Great!" Seeing that Xiao Ping agreed happily, Takahashi Hideto finally put his mind at ease. Although the degree of concession in this negotiation was quite large, it was a victory to convince Xiao Ping to increase the supply of seeds. The success of this negotiation will make Hideto Takahashi more important in the president's heart, and he may be able to move up from the current level of section chief when he goes back.
Thinking of this, Takahashi Hideto was in a good mood, and said to Xiao Ping with a smile: "Xiao Sang, I will ask people to draw up specific terms now, and we can officially sign a supplementary agreement tomorrow." As a token of my appreciation, I invite you to eat authentic Japanese food in the city!"
"Japanese food ......" Xiao Ping frowned and said, "It's too light, I don't like it very much." ”
Hideto Takahashi hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, it will definitely not be light. The place I invited you to is a place that specializes in Kobe beef, and this is the best beef in the world!" If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
