Chapter 593: I Can (Ask for Tickets)
Rahal looked down at the text that Shi Lei handed him, this Shi Lei has a heart, not only in Chinese and English, but also in Hindi, although he doesn't need it much, but there is a feeling of being respected, this feeling, very good.
Lahal and his subordinates were all looking down at Wen Jiàn, no one entertained Shi Lei, Shi Lei just sat on the side, quietly drinking milk tea. This milk tea tastes good, and it was also sent by Shi Lei, he is not very accustomed to drinking it, but Rahal and them are very happy to drink it.
Just like the Chinese ~ Chinese people abroad, if you can drink a cup of authentic green tea, it will also be very refreshing, if there is also a cup of hometown wine, it will be more perfect.
Fang Xiaozu couldn't sit still for a long time, these people can't do it, he finished reading this article in less than twenty minutes, these people have been watching it for an hour, why haven't they finished reading it yet? Grind!
Rahal finally put down Wen Jiàn, took off his glasses, and gently pinched his eyebrows.
"Xiaoshi, is this the plan provided by your company?"
"Well, this is a plan that a lot of people in our company have come up with after researching it. Mr. Rahal, can this proposal impress you? Shi Lei asked with a smile.
"The plan is good, decent, but there are no bright spots. It can be said that if I contact ten companies, at least eight of them will be similar to yours. ”
"No way, in China, there are not many companies that can afford to act as an agent for your Tata Motors Company, and even fewer have these businesses. To put it mildly, except for Da Chong Hong, none of us paid attention to it. In particular, we have an advantage that Dah Chong Hong does not have - transportation! As for sales, we can operate our own 4S stores, which Dah Chong Hong will never be able to do! Shi Lei said confidently.
"Self-employed? You can only guarantee one 4S store in each province, which is too little. There are so many people in China~ China, and there are more and more rich people, and the consumption power is rising. In the future, more and more people will be able to afford our cars. If you can guarantee that there are five 4S stores in each province, I think I will be very willing to talk to you about this agent in detail. Rahar said slowly.
Five? How is that possible, just like those places in Mengqing-Tibet, not to mention the five 4S stores, the two Shi Lei feel that it is too much. One is enough. Many of them don't even drive at all, and others rely on horseback riding!
"Mr. Rahal, no one can agree to this condition to you. The Wufang Group cannot, and neither can Dah Chong Hong. But I can change the way, for example, how many 4S stores are there in the country, and how about fifty? And it is also guaranteed that each province and municipality directly under the central government still has at least one 4S store. ”
Rahal's brows furrowed slightly, how could this be the same as the conditions of Da Chong Hong. He read the text given to him by the Wufang Group, some of which were important clauses. Slightly lower than Dah Chong Hong, but some less important clauses seem to be no different from Dah Chong Hong. Did they all think of it together, or did the Wufang Group have an internal ghost in Dah Chong Hong?
The Tata Group values integrity above all else, and what it hates most is not taking the right path. If the G5 had stolen the terms of Dahcho's contract through commercial espionage, he would never have cooperated with the C-5, even if the G-5 had better terms. In their opinion, with a little money. Stealing the fruits of someone else's labor is a very shameful act. Be despised!
"You said that you would give us preferential treatment in transportation, not to mention sea freight, in China, what preferential price can you give us?"
"We can talk about this slowly, but it is guaranteed to be the lowest price in the industry. Our five-party logistics is a nationwide logistics network that is enough to guarantee the products of Tata Motors. Transported to every city in the country. ”
Why not talk about sea freight? Of course Shi Lei knows it. Tata Motors plans to find a partner in China to set up a joint venture. In the future, most of the Jaguar Land Rover will be domestically produced, and there will not be much difference between the so-called imported cars and domestic joint venture cars, but the price will be at least twice as different, and normal people will choose domestic production. Of course, domestic transportation is more important.
"The agency fee is too high, think about it, our Tata Motors company took out a high-end car this time, the cost is very high, you take away too much profit, what else do we earn? You have to lower that, and the conditions that Dah Chong Hong can offer are much lower than yours. ”
Shi Lei pouted, if he didn't know, he was really fooled by Rahal. Is it better for Dah Chong Bank to pay an agency fee that is higher than that of Wufang Group? But none of this matters, Dah Chong Hong will not reduce prices, and Shi Lei will definitely not reduce prices. If the next negotiation happens, Dah Chong Bank lowers the price, then Shi Lei will also let the Wufang Group follow the price reduction, just match.
"Don't fall! That's already our bottom line. Dah Chong Hong does not have our logistics channels, so the agency fee will definitely be higher. And we also have entertainment companies under our umbrella that will endorse Tata Motors' products at low prices, which Dach Chong Hong can't do either. You should also be aware of the effectiveness of a celebrity advertising endorsement. Shi Lei said.
"Stars? Endorsement? What brand are we, Jaguar Land Rover, a well-known high-end car a long time ago, will we need celebrity endorsements? Celebrity endorsements may be able to increase sales of some low-priced cars, but for our brand, it doesn't have much effect. People who can spend hundreds of thousands of millions of RMB to buy a car are not poor in your country. Will they watch ads, will they chase stars? ”
"Won't it? So why do all big-name cars have to invite celebrity endorsements? It is undeniable that they still have a certain amount of influence, mainly because of their temperament and image, which is the envy of those rich people. So we will invite more temperamental stars, which can definitely increase the sales of our brand. ”
Rahal discussed a few words with the subordinates next to him, all of them were in Hindi, and Shi Lei and they didn't understand them at all. If it is English, Fang Xiaozu can translate on his behalf, don't look at his usual giggling, but English interpretation and translation are no problem, no matter how you say it, he is also a graduate of a prestigious school.
But they all use Hindi, and the Hindi translator hasn't been brought with me today. Rahar clearly did it on purpose, discussing it in front of them, but he was not afraid that they would understand.
"Your conditions are not bad, we will go back and think about it." Rahal said to Shi Lei.
Shi Lei's heart sank, under normal circumstances, it was a send-off.
"Mr. Rahal, we happened to meet a wandering monk who had heard that Mr. Rahal was also a Buddhist and wanted to pay a visit." Fang Xiaozu said.
Rahal immediately smiled in surprise: "Really? Where he is, I can visit him. ”
"His place may be relatively small and can't be entertained, so ......," Fang Xiaozu said embarrassedly.
"Oh, that's it, then invite him over, I'll be free this afternoon, I'll prepare refreshments and wait for him here."
Coming out of Rahal, Shi Lei sighed: "Go and ask the Benxin Mage to come over, don't let the Benxin Mage help us speak, it will be counterproductive." ”
Fang Xiaozu nodded, and left first in the car to pick up Master Benxin.
Shi Lei made a phone call to Fang Yanhong to ask about contacting the cooperative factory, but unfortunately although Fang Xiaozu had already contacted the other party, the other party was not very satisfied, because the people from Tata Motors did not appear.
One afternoon, Shi Lei spent anxiously waiting. He didn't know what Rahar had talked to Master Benxin or for how long.
After dinner, Rahar suddenly called Shi Lei and said that he would return to the magic capital tomorrow to start a second negotiation with the magic capital Dachang Hong.
Shi Lei chuckled in his heart, what does this mean, the Wufang Group was kicked out? Shi Lei immediately rushed to Rahal's hotel again, and Rahal received him happily.
"Xiaoshi, I'm sorry, although your company's conditions are good, they don't quite meet our company's requirements, Dah Chong Hong has a condition, we can't refuse." Rahar said apologetically.
In the past few days, whether it is Shi Lei's hospitality or Taishi International's hospitality, he is very satisfied and has a feeling of being at home. But business is business, not favor. If the conditions of both parties are similar, he may sell Shi Xi the same face and sign a contract with the Wufang Group, but now the conditions of the two sides are obviously not equal, and he really can't refuse the conditions of Dachang Bank.
"Mr. Rahal, in fact, there is a hidden condition in our company, and I think you may change your mind after listening to our condition." Shi Lei is right, it seems that he can only come up with a killer move.
"Oh? What conditions? Don't you want an agency fee? Hahaha~~" Rahal is still joking. In his opinion, no matter what conditions Shi Lei offers, it is impossible to compare with the conditions of Dachang Hong. The next time he comes to China~ China, he will bring a gift to Shi Lei, which will be counted as a thank you.
"Mr. Lahore, now we do not have self-developed high-end brand cars in China, and all high-end brand cars are joint ventures. For example, Mercedes-Benz, such as BMW, and the joint venture is a good thing for both parties. The Chinese side gets the technology, learns from the experience, and the foreign side saves freight, saves taxes, and greatly reduces the retail price, but the profit will not fall, on the contrary, I think that the increase in sales will increase the profit and also boost the brand's popularity, I say so, can you understand? ”
Rahal's expression became solemn, he seemed to have guessed what Shi Lei was going to say, could it be that the Wufang Group, even this condition, is the same as Dachang Hong?
"Joint venture, this should be the only option for Tata Motors in China, because we are not South Korean, and too many of our car companies are state-owned enterprises and will not sell. As for the two large private companies, which also have sufficient funds and are in the profitable period, they will not be sold to you either, and you can only choose a joint venture. Not only does this increase brand awareness, but it also boosts sales, so don't you want to see more and more Tata Motors cars on the road? ”
"That's what you came up with? Can you connect us with a joint venture? Rahar asked solemnly.
"I can!"
"In a week, I will return to the capital, and I hope that when the time comes, I will hear the news that makes my heart move." (To be continued......)
