Chapter 54 Business Classics
At about 8 o'clock in the evening, Yu You drove the Rolls-Royce Phantom to a high-end Western restaurant to meet Bart, and just entered and found a tall white man pointing to a waiter's nose and saying it in German. In the end, it was agreed to fire the young waiter.
Yu You couldn't help but wonder what this waiter was doing, stopping the disheartened young man, Yu You said, "Dude, why did you offend this gringo?" ”
The young waiter had just lost his job and was a little depressed, so he looked at Yu You and said, "Hey, it's just that I just sprinkled a little brandy on the table, and I didn't stain his clothes. ”
If it's a local diner, most of them will be gone, after all, people make mistakes, and as the young waiter said, if you don't stain each other's clothes, you can wipe the table clean at any time.
Yu You has to say that this foreigner is very serious! Looking at the photo of Mr. Bart that Cai Lifan gave him, Yu You compared the appearance of the foreigner in the restaurant and found that it was the white man just now.
Yu You, who smiled bitterly, secretly commented: "It seems that our Mr. Bart is a person who treats everything extremely strictly, and if you want to negotiate business with him, the chance of success is very small." "Since they have all arrived, Yu You has no reason to go back, and Yu You's batch of cod is almost finished, and he must find his next home as soon as possible, so that Yu You's funds can be returned, which is conducive to the next sea operation."
"Hello, Mr. Bart, I'm Youlong, the CEO of Youlong Company." Yu You spoke English with a fluent London accent, and Bart naturally understood it, and Barthes, who often dealt with the British, was a little kind to You.
"Mr. You, please be seated." After the two ordered, there was no conversation during the meal, Yu You also understood the table manners of Westerners, so he was not in a hurry, after the two were full, the two tasted red wine and began a formal negotiation.
There is no problem in the price, the price of a single ton of euros is equivalent to about 35,000 per ton, which is higher than Yu You's expectations, but it is not easy to get this price, Bart listed his own requirements, a one-time 500 tons of processed cod, and there can be no problems in transportation, about the responsibility of transportation costs, Bart is going to share it together, that is to say, Yu You has to pay 50% of the transportation costs, and if there is a problem with the 500 tons of cod, Yu You has to pay a huge amount of liquidated damages.
No wonder the other party is so generous in bidding, it turns out that the price of 35,000 yuan per ton will be correspondingly large.
Not to mention that Yu You didn't have 500 tons of processed Pacific cod, even if he had enough to make up, he still wouldn't sign the contract. Besides, the responsibility of transportation is too general, Yu You feels that this negotiation will not go too smoothly, and Bart is too harsh.
"Mr. Bart, let's not talk about business for a while." Yu You plans to drag Bart, anyway, the frozen cod, the storage time is long, put in the seafood processing plant, the problem is not big, Yu You has plenty of time, and Bart's supply of cod must be very urgent, so Yu You still takes the initiative at this point.
Besides, Yu You is still worried about the 250 tons of cod, at least more than 300 tons of freshly caught Pacific cod, in order to complete this transaction, Yu You will go to the sea to fish, the time will definitely be too late, so long, Bart might as well find a home, to other countries to import, such as North America, Australia and other places, or to Russia is also done.
Although Europe has recently become more interested in Pacific cod, Atlantic cod can be used as a last resort.
The two chatted about some experiences from all over the world, and after some understanding, Mr. Bart is only in his thirties this year, and it is not easy to be the president, which shows that his ability is very outstanding and he is deeply trusted by the board of directors or the chairman.
He does not believe in Christianity or Catholicism, but Judaism, through which Yu You learned that Barth's background is German Jew, and this supermarket chain must also be dominated by Jews, no wonder he has such bargaining experience! The business of the Jews is known all over the world.
After chatting all over the world, Bart had a better impression of You, and talked about survival in the wild, Bart said: "I was watching a TV show recently, and I found that there is an Asian who looks quite like you. In the eyes of Westerners, Asians look the same, and it's normal to not be able to tell the difference when they meet for the first time, but after sitting down and chatting for so long, it's not surprising that Bart remembered the TV show about Survival in the Wild.
At that time when he and Bell explored Shennongjia, Yu You's lens was comparable to Bell's, and there was no facial mosaic treatment.
Yu You smiled bitterly: "That person is me, last time I went to Shennongjia with Bell to explore, the scene of being trapped by a tiger in a tree is really embarrassing." ”
"Huh? You're the one who knows the magic of Chinese kung fu? Oh yes, he seems to be called Yu, too! OMG, I didn't expect to meet you! Maybe the shock caused by that episode in the Western world was quite big, and because after watching that episode, Barthes, who regarded Bell and You as idols, felt that he would travel to China to further explore the historical charm of this ancient China.
Yu You secretly pondered: "Bart may also be a lover of survival in the wild, so he pays more attention to these programs." ”
He had no choice but to spread his hands helplessly and said: "Mr. Bart, that person is me, but the so-called Chinese kung fu still has an exaggerated component, and the effect of the show is good." ”
"No, no, I don't think it's the effect of the show, it's a real scene, you actually know how to tame animals and drive away tigers, oh my God, it's amazing." Bart's expression is very rich, which is diametrically opposed to his previous performance, probably when he met a character in a TV show, and he is still a person he admires, Bart has a behavior similar to "chasing stars".
It is understandable that he has a slight gaffe, Bart stood up, his height of about 2 meters made Bart look like a brown bear, burly and unusual, it was hard to imagine that he was in business and a senior manager.
Yu You was a little unaccustomed, but Bart's eyes made him feel like he was looking at a monkey in an animal, so he said, "Mr. Bart, please calm down." ”
Bart sat down in his place and said very apologetically: "You, I lost my temper, I'm just too excited, you must know that I am a big fan of adventure programs, and I appreciate you and Bell's program very much, especially from you, I have seen the essence of ancient Chinese culture!" It made me admire Chinese culture. ”
"Mr. Bart, I'm glad you like me and China, but your behavior just now makes me feel like I'm watching a monkey show, and I'm very uncomfortable." Yu You's tone of words became a little heavier, and when Bart saw Yu You so angry, he couldn't help but quickly apologize and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry ......"
"Okay, now that our business and private affairs have been discussed, and the time is not too early, I should go back." When Yu You got up and was about to say goodbye, Bart grabbed Yu You, only to see Yu You shake his arm, Bart fell in response, close to 2 meters tall, Bart, who is physically strong, has learned free fighting, Western boxing, and his combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of professional boxers, but he didn't expect his grasp to be cracked so easily.
Yu You walked over, pulled Bart, who fell to the ground, and said very apologetically: "Mr. Bart, I'm sorry, I reacted naturally, not intentionally. ”
The movement of the two "fighting" attracted the manager of the high-end Western restaurant to come over to inquire about the situation, whether he needed to call the police, etc., Bart shook his hand and said to You: "It's okay, You, you are so strong!" I want to worship you as Master! ”
After speaking, he couldn't help but clasp his fists and salute, just like in a kung fu movie, like an apprentice, holding fists with both hands and a sincere expression.
Yu You didn't expect Bart to be a Chinese kung fu fan, first thought that Yu You was one of the protagonists of the Chinese chapter of the adventure show, and then tried Yu You's power, and apprenticed without saying a word.
To be honest, Yu You really wanted to fool the foreigner and accepted to be his master, and then the business would be very smooth, and there was no need to engage in a tug-of-war with Bart.
But if you really make a move, Yu You is not Bart's opponent at all, and without the protection of the Xuanwu totem, Yu You is just an ordinary person.
How to teach Bart, a foreigner who has learned many boxing techniques! Misleading people's children, Yu You will not do it.
He picked up Bart and said: "Mr. Bart, apprenticeship is a sacred ritual, how can it be so casual, and I didn't agree, it's useless for you to do this, there is still a long way to go to get my approval." ”
When Bart heard Yu You say this, he knew that there was a play, so he no longer forced each other, but said: "You, if you agree to accept me as an apprentice, then this business ......"
"Well, I can't do business or friends." Yu You didn't expect Bart to be so public-private, and it can be seen that Bart really wants to learn Chinese kung fu, or to have an in-depth understanding of Chinese culture through this aspect.
"You, don't go, I was wrong, can't I do it." Seeing Yu Youtou leave without looking back, leaving the restaurant in his luxury car, Bart was blank-eyed and a little caught off guard, and then dialed his secretary's phone. asked her to contact Cai Lifan of Youlong Company, and after further negotiations, she continued to talk to Yu You.
After saying this phone call, Bart returned to the hotel, sleepless all night, thinking that he had met an idol and wanted to apprentice, but was hindered, he couldn't help but be a little discouraged, and felt that Yu You showed selflessness when he heard that he used this business as an apprenticeship, which made Bart admire it very much.
"My father always taught me that as a Jewish businessman, I should not care about personal feelings, and everything should be about money, and I am doing so badly today." Jewish businessmen don't talk about anything, business is business, and Barth's dysfunction is still related to his own interests.
Emotions can blind the eyes, and even Bart, the eldest son of a Jewish merchant family who is not too experienced in business, will inevitably have mood swings, and can only sleep by reciting the classic passages of the Hebrew Bible.
