Chapter 289: The Emperor's Daughter Is Not Worried About Marrying
Mo Kongchao was really a little angry with Liu Shuo and Huang Yanling. Previously, McClure said 100,000 sets a year, but Liu Shuo disagreed, and Mo Kongchao was a little annoyed, and he was also afraid that McClure would walk away. As a result, McClure softened and increased it to 150,000 sets per year, in Mo Kongchao's view, this is the generosity of foreign businessmen, and Liu Shuo should gladly accept it anyway, so that the two sides can quickly sign a contract, and a business of more than 30 million US dollars will be completed, which is a good thing.
But who would have thought that McClure's concession did not satisfy Liu Shuo, and Huang Yanling jumped out again, saying that she could not give the agency to the whole of Europe, but only to 4 countries, isn't this a blatant provocation?
Sure enough, the foreign businessmen got angry and didn't want to cooperate with them. It's no wonder that foreign businessmen are also human beings, and people have tempers. Foreign businessmen can endure until this time before they come out, which shows that people have self-cultivation and are not as knowledgeable as our people. But what are our people like? Give a mallet as a needle, people are polite, they will intensify the conditions, what kind of plain zhì is this!
At that moment, Mo Kongchao even thought of conducting a professional ethics education for the city's private entrepreneurs in the future to improve their standards, so as not to embarrass Quwu City in similar international exchanges and cooperation.
However, this is not the right time to think about it, Mo Kongchao forcibly pressed down all kinds of ideas in his head, turned to Liu Shuo and said, "Director Liu, how can you treat foreign guests like this?" In any case, people are guests from afar, so what can be discussed? You don't think Mr. Mack's proposal of 150,000 units a year is appropriate, but how much do you think is enough? ”
Speaking of which, Mo Kong also maintained the proportions that a deputy mayor should have, and he did not force Liu Shuo to submit to McClure. It's just a mediation posture. He knew that the Brother Ceramics Factory was a private enterprise, and the government did not have direct management power, so it could not act as a substitute for state-owned enterprises as it did. However, his tone and face have already explained the problem, that is, the leader is very angry and the consequences are very strict.
Liu Shuo turned his head. Met a look with Huang Yanling. In front of McClure, Liu Shuo couldn't explain in detail to Mo Kongchao, but he had to respond immediately. Huang Yanling hesitated for a moment and nodded fiercely, meaning to let Liu Shuo stick to his position.
Liu Shuo took a deep breath, turned his head to Mo Kongchao and said, "Mayor Mo, the figures proposed by the foreign guests are too different from our estimates of the market, and we can't agree to his conditions. ”
Let's talk about it. He turned to McClure again and said, "Mr. McClure, we have asked professionals to calculate the sales volume of ceramic knives in Europe, and the figure obtained is 500,000 to 1 million sets per year, and this number will further expand as the price drops and the concept becomes more popular. You can only promise 150,000 units a year, which is too far from our expectations. Could you please think again? ”
McClure's gaze quickly swept across the faces of the audience, then shrugged. said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Liu, there is also a gap between our forecast and yours, so I think I'd better give up." ”
"Then please." Liu Shuo made a gesture of sending off the guest without showing weakness.
"This ......" McClure was stunned, he didn't expect the factory director in front of him to be so tough, and he didn't care what he thought as a foreign guest. Dare not even give the mayor face. His cruel words have been released, and it is not appropriate to give in immediately at this time. He looked at the set of ceramic knives on the table, and wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to speak.
Liu Shuo saw what McClure meant, and he smiled. "Mr. McClure, there is a saying in the Chinese that business is not human. You can take this set of ceramic knives with you, even if we can't cooperate, you can take it back and cut the fruit. As for the conditions we have just proposed, you can think about it again, and if you feel that our conditions are reasonable, we can continue to negotiate. ”
"Well, then I'll thank Mr. Liu." McClure also hurriedly went down the steps, instructed Joliffe to put away the ceramic knife, and then nodded politely to Liu Shuo, and then left the conference room.
Mo Kongchao took Liu Shuo and others out of the office building with McClure and Jolliffe, put them on a minibus, and ordered several officials to accompany them back to the hotel, while he stayed in the factory. Watching the minibus drive out of the factory, Mo Kongchao's forced smile suddenly disappeared, and he glared at Liu Shuo and asked, "Director Liu, what do you mean by this!" Do you feel that you have seen the world after going abroad, and you don't treat foreign businessmen as a thing? ”
"This ...... Mayor Mo, otherwise, let's go back to the conference room to talk, and we will report to you in detail about some situations. Liu Shuo replied sneeringly.
The group returned to the conference room, the little secretary of the office came over to change the tea for everyone, and Liu Shuo personally brought Mo Kongchao's teacup to him and put it down, making a subordinate sincere and fearful. Mo Kongchao's face softened a little, and he said in a serious tone:
"Xiao Liu, Xiao Huang, it's not that I want to put on the prestige of the mayor in front of you, it's really Lao Sha who repeatedly entrusted me before his death, asking me to care more about you. If it were another company, I would not intervene in this specific business issue at all, and I would not be silent if you could negotiate it or not. ”
"Yes, yes, Mayor Mo's care for our brother ceramic factory, our cadres and workers are very clear." Liu Shuo said, "However, today's matter, it's really not that we don't give Mayor Mo face, but that this foreign businessman is not sincere enough, and if we accept his conditions, it will be a great loss for us." ”
"I don't understand, why do you have to promise each other annual sales? You think, people sell things, and of course they are willing to sell as much as possible. Even if they only promised you to sell 150,000 units, if they could sell 1 million units, they would definitely do it. What is the difference between a promise and a non-commitment? Mo Kongchao finally raised the question in his heart, and it was precisely because he didn't understand this that he was full of annoyance with Liu Shuo and Huang Yanling.
Liu Shuo looked at Huang Yanling and said, "Yanling, you can explain this problem to Mayor Mo, when Director Qin told us." I don't remember very well. ”
"Okay." Huang Yanling nodded, and then said to Mo Kongchao: "Mayor Mo, this condition is required by the founder of our brother ceramic factory, Qin Haiqin of Anhe Province. He said that our products are very competitive, and we need to find some powerful agents to act as agents. And the strength of the agents is reflected in the sales volume they can promise. If we hand over the whole of Europe to this Ron, and they don't have the ability to distribute goods throughout Europe, it will lead to our products not being able to sell as expected, and it will affect the profits we deserve. ”
"Hmm...... This is also true. Mo Kongchao somewhat understood. What McClure wants is an exclusive agency, and if his company doesn't actually have such a big ability, it is a typical way to occupy the pit and not, which is of course a great loss for the brother ceramic factory.
"In addition, there is a case. Even Ron itself has other substitute products, in order not to affect the sales of those substitute products, they may also deliberately steal our agency, and then suppress our sales volume to eliminate competitors for other products. Liu Shuo added another reason.
"This ...... Unlikely, right? Mo Kong said this, but his heart began to waver. He thought for a moment and said, "However, you are fighting against foreign businessmen like this. If they are really gone, won't your wishful thinking be in vain? In my opinion. A thousand rabbits are in sight, it is better to have a rabbit in hand, you first sign a contract of 150,000 sets a year, which is also a business volume of more than 30 million US dollars, not to mention in Quwu, even in the entire Linxi. It is also a top foreign trade achievement. ”
Liu Shuo said: "Mayor Mo, don't worry. Our factory director Qin predicts that the annual sales volume in the European market can reach more than 500,000 sets, in addition to the United States, Japan, and the Middle East, adding up to at least more than 1 million sets. That's a business of more than 200 million. Director Qin said that the market for ceramic knives is very large, and there must be dealers who will be interested. Ron company is just the beginning, there will definitely be more agents to negotiate in the future, we can wait a little longer, waiting for the best conditions. ”
"Haha, do you mean to say that you are the emperor's daughter, and you don't have to worry about getting married?"
Hearing that there can be more than 200 million sales at most, Mo Kongchao's mood suddenly improved, and he couldn't help but joke with Liu Shuo.
"By the way, what have you been talking about Director Qin, what kind of character is this, how do I think, you admire him?" Mo Kongchao asked again.
Listening to Mo Kongchao ask about Qin Hai, Liu Shuo and Huang Yanling both came to the spirit, and you told Mo Kongchao about Qin Hai's deeds word by word. When he heard that Qin Hai's thermal spraying machine had collected 20 million in Brazil for the deposit alone, Mo Kongchao's eyes straightened.
Nima, just with a mouth and a few pages of instructions, got a deposit of 20 million US dollars from a foreigner, what kind of god is this! How could this kind of talent fall into Anhe Province and not appear under his own rule? Fortunately, Sha Renyuan didn't know what channel he had met such a great god, so he left a brother ceramic factory for Qu Wu.
"This Qin Hai has such a great ability? Why, the ceramic knife was also designed by him? Also, did he really say that this kind of ceramic knife can be sold for 200 million dollars a year? Mo Kongchao asked a few questions in one breath, and he had no complaints about Liu Shuo and what they had just done. If Liu Shuo's condition is what Qin Hai, who has the ability to reach the sky, said, maybe there is some truth in it. (To be continued......)
