Chapter 6: Fernand's Sincerity
Chapter 6: Fernand's Sincerity
The day after the midterm exams, it was a Saturday, but it was a big week. Since March of '94, the people of the capital have been enjoying two days off every other week.
The students of Longtan Middle School, after experiencing the psychological "destruction" of the midterm exam, paid special attention to the rest of the two days, and everyone called friends to go out to play. As the most beautiful girls in the class, Zhao Ya and Feng Qian naturally received a lot of invitations, and Chai Jingyu rushed over early in the morning.
It's a pity that Fang Mingyuan can't enjoy such a leisurely and comfortable life, because a distinguished guest will come to visit today. Poor him, he could only watch Zhao Ya and the three of them being pulled out by Chai Jingyu together, enjoying the bright sunshine and free air, but he could only stay in the house and wait for others to come to the door.
At half past nine in the morning, there was a clear and rhythmic knock on the door, and Chen Zhong opened the door, and it was Agatha and Fernand who appeared outside the door. Fernand, Chen Zhong didn't know each other, but Agasha, he was no stranger, so he let the two in.
Fernan, who was sitting in the living room, looked curiously at the furnishings in the room, and could see that there were no valuables here, and the decoration was not luxurious.
To be honest, when he first entered this residential building, Fernand was still quite surprised, he didn't expect that as the actual head of the Fang family, Fang Mingyuan, who had billions of assets in his hands, was actually living in such an inconspicuous ordinary residential area in the capital.
Fernand, who has been in China for a few months, also has some specific understanding of China's national conditions, and has also made acquaintances with many Chinese officials and businessmen, and has also visited some Chinese families. He was under the impression that the Chinese were very fond of face, especially some wealthy merchant families, and their residences were as luxurious as possible. Although, in Fernand's eyes, these luxuries are often ridiculous. Before coming to see Fang Mingyuan, Fernand also had a lot of imagination about Fang Mingyuan's residence in the capital, but everything he saw with his own eyes was still quite different from his guess.
However, although Fang Mingyuan's residence made him feel a little "disappointed", Fernand was still a little excited in his heart at this time. At least his first meeting with Fang Mingyuan could be arranged in Fang Mingyuan's residence, which made Fernand feel a little "flattered". Fang Mingyuan still gave Agasa and himself some face.
Fang Mingyuan walked out of the back room, and Agasajiao stood up with a smile and gave him a big hug.
"Joseph is okay, you two haven't decided when you will get married?" Fang Mingyuan rubbed his nose, the perfume smell on Agasha's body was a little strong, causing him to itch in his nose and want to sneeze.
"Xiexie Fang is less concerned, Joseph he is fine now, we are still young, Rui Zai does not want children, so I plan to spend another two years. Agatha laughed.
Joseph, after a long conversation between Nokia Mobile Phone Company President Yoma Aullera and Fang Mingyuan in Japan, Joseph was appreciated by Joma, and now, Yoma Aurela has become the president of Nokia Group, as his descendant, Joseph's position in the Nokia Group has also risen, and he has been transferred back to the headquarters to take on important responsibilities. Of course, Agatha also returned to work for Albert Steel in Finland in Europe. This time, it was because of Fernand's request that she was temporarily transferred back to assist Fernand in completing the task of negotiating with Fang Mingyuan.
For Fang Mingyuan's concern, Agasha was naturally very happy in her heart, and their acquaintance at the beginning was quite dramatic-sexual. Later, Fang Mingyuan also completed the agreement with the headquarters of Albert Steel Company to change the mine through her, which also made her status in Albert Steel Company rise a lot, otherwise, when Joseph returned to Finland, she would not have been transferred to the Finnish branch of Albert Steel Company so smoothly. Therefore, in her opinion, Fang Mingyuan is her and Joseph's nobleman!
"Ah, Fang Shao, let me introduce you to this one, this is Mr. Fernand Jacobs, the head of the Huaxia office of Albert Iron and Steel Company. Prior to coming to China, Mr. Fernand was the head of the company's office in the United States, and achieved remarkable results. Agasha said, "Mr. Jacobs, this is Fang Mingyuan!"
"Nine thoughts, nine thoughts!" Fernand, who gave up his hand, spoke Chinese strangely, and it took Fang Mingyuan and Lin Rong a long time to react, and what he said should have been, "Long Yang! Long Yang!"
"Welcome Mr. Jacobs to Huaxia!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. His English is better understood than Fernand's Chinese.
After a polite exchange between the two sides, Fernand returned to the point. "I heard that Mr. Masayoto Matsumoto, the person in charge of the Nippon Steel Corporation in China Office of Japan, had a meeting with Assistant Lin. Presumably for your investment project in a steel plant in the northeast of your country. I came this time to officially invite Fang Shao to cooperate on behalf of Albert Steel Company. We are willing to continue the existing cooperation between our two sides with sincere sincerity and preferential prices!"
Fang Mingyuan smiled and said, "Mr. Jacobs, it seems that you are very well-informed, we only had the first round of talks with Nippon Steel Corporation yesterday, and you already know it." ”
Fernand Haha laughed twice, although the investment project of 3 billion yuan is really not a big project for Nippon Steel and Albert Steel, but the significance of this is something that no one dares to ignore.
"In the first round, we didn't talk about anything substantive-sexual, just an exchange of opinions. Fang Mingyuan smiled and said, "I'm more concerned about what kind of cooperation I will bring to Mr. Jacobs. ”
"Fang Shao, I, Albert Steel Company is a well-known steel company in Europe, and it has a history of 100 years. It can be said that the companies that do business with our company are located all over the world. Nippon Steel, hum!" Fernand said with a look of disdain. Fang Mingyuan smiled silently and waited for his next words.
Seeing that Fang Mingyuan didn't answer at all, Fernand could only continue, "Fang Shao, you and our company have had a perfect cooperation before, according to your people, everyone should have a beginning and an end when doing things, my company's jishu, of course, is the most suitable equipment provided by my company." Say, isn't it? Our company is willing to sell all the relevant equipment to you and provide sufficient training opportunities. ”
Fang Mingyuan scolded Fernan in his heart for not being authentic, and after talking for a long time, daring to love was playing the emotional card, and there was no concession at all. Although Fang Mingyuan also understands that it is most appropriate to use the jishu of Albed Steel Company, of course, it is most suitable to purchase the equipment provided by Albed Steel Company. However, this does not mean that if the Fang family uses the equipment of other companies, it will not be able to perfectly refine qualified products. Maybe in the beginning, there were some detours to take and adjustments to be made again and again, but it would be a joke to say that it could not meet the Jishu standard and could not make qualified products.
As for the training of workers, it is even more nonsense, and if you buy the products provided by any company, you must provide training business, which is not a special treatment for Albert Steel!
Fang Mingyuan looked at Fernand with a smile, but he didn't say a word.
Fernan looked at Fang Mingyuan's expression, and also understood that Fang Mingyuan was obviously not satisfied with the conditions he said. Of course, he didn't expect that just relying on these things, the first meeting, he would be able to take this order from the Fang family. Since it is a negotiation, then it is a process of bargaining, especially for a project with an amount of hundreds of millions of dollars, that is, it is a normal thing to negotiate for three or five months.
Today, Fernand's arrival is more of a statement to Fang Mingyuan, telling Fang Mingyuan that Albert Steel Company is also interested in his project and is willing to provide corresponding services to Fang Mingyuan. That's enough.
In negotiations like this, whoever shows his hole cards early will undoubtedly lose the initiative!
Fernand also believed that a smart and capable person like Fang Mingyuan would definitely do everything possible to maximize interests in the negotiations, and that the system that Nippon Steel was accustomed to for Huaxia state-owned enterprises would be of no use to Fang Mingyuan. If you want to persuade Fang Mingyuan to use his own company's equipment, you must come up with real materials to impress him. And the advanced nature of the competition equipment and jishu, who was Albert Steel Company afraid of? However, he didn't mind leaving a haode impression on Fang Mingyuan in the initial meeting. "Fang Shao, the headquarters of Albert Steel Company attaches great importance to this cooperation with you, so ......"
"So?" Fang Mingyuan smiled.
"Albert Steel is willing to give you five percent of the total amount of the equipment sold!" Fernand said in a deep voice.
Although I don't know how much of the three billion yuan investment amount will be used to purchase equipment from abroad, as long as the Fang family has this plan, then the amount of this amount is indispensable, even if it is only five or six billion, five percent of the concession is a considerable amount.
Fernand knew very well that when Huaxia - the government - introduced equipment and jishu from abroad, most of the time it would only face the dilemma of raising prices, and even if they voluntarily raised prices, they could not buy what they wanted, and they should have been able to leave a good impression on Fang Mingyuan by making such a statement.
