Chapter 345 - Spying on Trade Secrets (2)
Huang Feihong couldn't find a single head of the company in the main rooms of the whole building, so he made a difficulty, and said psychologically, did they go outside, but there are a lot of luxury cars parked downstairs, generally speaking, luxury cars are the mounts of the company's leaders.
Huang Feihong dug out his heart and thought of a solution, and soon, this method was really remembered by him.
Thinking back to the structural diagram of the company building he saw in Shangguan Wenfeng's company, there was something that suddenly came to his mind, remembering that there was a café on the top floor of this building, would the company's heads and brains discuss something there, first, it could avoid people's eyes and ears and not attract the attention of others, and second, it would be quieter there.
Huang Feihong was very excited about this idea, and he felt that it was very possible.
So he walked quickly to the top floor of the building, and stealthily came to the door of the café, and saw that the door of the café was tightly closed, but there was a sound of talking inside, and there seemed to be a lot of people.
Huang Feihong was even more sure of his guess.
He waited at the door, and as soon as the door opened, he walked in incognito.
After a quarter of an hour, the door of the café really opened, and a man walked out, Huang Feihong recognized this person at a glance as the one he saw in the photo, and he knew that this time he really found the right person.
After this person came out, he went to the bathroom diagonally opposite, Huang Feihong didn't dare to slack off, and immediately walked into this café.
The café is huge, the size of a conference room, and it's beautifully decorated.
In the middle is a large round table, around which several leaders sit around, each with a cup of coffee in front of them. Huang Feihong counted these people, there were more than a dozen of them, and several of them were what he had seen on that information.
Huang Feihong knew that these people must be discussing something important here. So he immediately turned on the eavesdropping device.
After a while, the man who had gone out returned, and after he had taken his seat, the discussion that had been left off continued.
I only heard one person say: "We have already said just now, tomorrow we will have a final price negotiation with the Chinese company, so let's have a preliminary meeting in advance for tomorrow's negotiation, because our company has been losing money in recent years and can no longer operate, and it is imperative to transfer the company." ”
As soon as this one finished speaking, the other continued: "I agree to transfer the company, and if we don't transfer it out, it will be difficult to pay the interest on our loan in the bank." However, after several negotiations, the price given by the Chinese company was too low for us to accept, so this time we had to fight for the price again. ”
A third person said: "My advice is that we sit down and talk about a minimum price that we can afford, so that we can accept it, but not so that the Chinese company will not be embarrassed to retreat, because in the current global economic slowdown, such buyers are not so easy to meet." ”
Huang Feihong looked at the three people who spoke just now, and matched the photos on the company's information in his mind, only to know that they were the company's boss and two vice presidents.
Then the fourth said: "The people who participated in this discussion today are all directors of our company, so everyone should participate in the setting of the price to reflect the power of the director." ”
Follow the same sentiment expressed by several other directors.
The company's CEO said: "Then let's do things according to our board of directors' charter, and when encountering important decision-making issues, every director has the right to express his or her own opinions, and then conduct a comprehensive evaluation of these opinions." Specifically, each person is given a price, and then based on these prices, an average value that is acceptable to all parties is found. ”
Almost everyone present agreed with the boss.
But one of them raised a new question, he said: "This method is very good, but we ignore one of the most important issues, that is, confidentiality, I heard that the Chinese company we work with has previously negotiated with two iron ore companies, one is to buy iron ore, the other is to buy iron ore, who expected that the Chinese company knows the lowest price of the other company, and finally bought it at this minimum price, and the company that negotiated with them is completely in a passive position." ”
The CEO of the company said, "What do you mean, did they hire a private detective to wiretap the pre-negotiation meeting and get trade secrets?" ”
"I think it's entirely possible, or why would the lowest price be closed, then the seller would have suffered a big loss. Shopping malls are like battlefields, we should still be a little vigilant. ”
The boss smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, in fact, I have noticed this problem, you know why our meeting today is not in my office, nor in the conference room, but it is held in this café, just to prevent our conversation from being stolen by others." ”
"I don't think it's necessarily safe to be here."
"What do you mean?"
"People really want to spy on our trade secrets, and the opponent will use any means to do it, and you can't even imagine what methods to take, so we must change the location of the meeting at a critical moment."
The people present listened to this person's words and felt that it made sense.
Huang Feihong was also taken aback when she saw that something had happened, and said in her heart, these people just have the meaning of secrecy, and they will change the location of the meeting temporarily, thanks to the fact that they found this place in time, otherwise, today's spy plan will be completely ruined. I just don't know where the next meeting will be.
I only heard the boss ask everyone, "You say, where is it more appropriate for us to go?" ”
The person who spoke just now said: "Boss, let's find an inconspicuous hotel, rent a room temporarily, and after getting there, we will agree on the lowest price and end the meeting immediately." ”
Everyone listened to his words and felt that it made sense, in fact, the most important thing in business negotiations is the minimum price, and with this bottom line, tomorrow's negotiations with the Chinese side will be well understood.
A vice president pondered for a while and then said the name of a hotel, asking everyone if it was good to go there, and everyone said they were willing, that hotel was relatively remote, and the grade was not high, so it would not attract the attention of others.
The boss said decisively: "Then let's go over immediately." ”
The people present got up and left the café, came downstairs, and sat in four cars, two of which drove out of the company's yard and headed due east, while the other two drove out of the company's compound and drove in the opposite direction.
Huang Feihong knew that they did this to avoid people's eyes and ears and attract the attention of others.
But they knew there that even if they were so careful, they did not escape the fate of being spied on.
When Huang Feihong saw them leaving, he immediately walked out of the yard of the ocean shipping company incognito, came to the street, quickly left the gate of the company, appeared on the side of the road, and saw a taxi coming, he stopped and sat on it.
Huang Feihong took out $200 and handed it to the driver.
"Master doesn't need to look for it."
"Where are you going, lad?"
Huang Feihong named the humble hotel, adding: "Arrive as fast as possible." ”
"Please, young man."
As soon as he stepped on the accelerator, the car flew out like an arrow.
