48. Negotiation
Work hard for three more, ask for collection, ask for recommendation!
***********
"At present, the international price of ambergris, we understand that it is about 15,000 pounds per kilogram, so we want to trade in this price range."
Before Li Yifan came, he had specifically learned about the price of ambergris, and he not only consulted a large amount of information, but also personally made several transatlantic phone calls to inquire about the quotations of some foreign acquisition companies.
Fortunately, he had won a lot of rewards from his uncle before, otherwise it would have been really difficult to pay for the high cost of transatlantic telephone calls in this era.
In recent decades, the international acquisition of ambergris is almost always monopolized by the French perfume industry giants, a kilogram of untreated ambergris coarse material, generally purchased by some French companies, the price per kilogram at that time was about 60,000 to 70,000 yuan, and after some processing and fine processing, and then sold to those perfume giants, and at that time the price per kilogram would reach about 100,000 yuan.
However, that was in the era when the annual trading volume of ambergris was 400 to 600 kilograms per year, and now because of the excessive killing of whales, the production of ambergris is decreasing year by year, and the annual trading volume is generally about 100 kilograms.
Therefore, these giants of the French perfume industry are trying to find alternatives, and at the same time, they are also constantly raising the purchase price of ambergris.
Generally speaking, according to international practice, and the quality of ambergris, the purchase price per kilogram will fluctuate between 10,000 pounds and 15,000 pounds.
You must know that these ambergris were judged to be high-quality products by French perfume companies back then, and the price was set at about 20,000 euros per kilogram, but it is not ten years later, so the price has not yet been set so high, so Li Yifan still plans to trade at the highest price in the current market.
The elegant lady on the other side, after hearing this offer, didn't say anything, just smiled indifferently, and then said to Li Yifan.
"This Mr. Xiao Li, the price you are talking about is the current international quotation for the highest quality ambergris, and your product, according to our judgment, does not meet that standard. If we buy it, we plan to pay a price of 100,000 yuan per kilogram, what do you think? ”
The general manager still understands the reason of asking for a price and paying back the money on the ground, not to mention that she still has half of the blood of Chinese people in her body.
But this price is too ruthless, the reason why she said this is completely to bully Li Yifan They don't know how to do it, thinking that they don't know the quality of these pieces of ambergris.
If it was changed before, Li Yifan really didn't know how the international quality of this ambergris was divided, but he had experience in later generations, but he knew that after these pieces of ambergris were just excavated, they immediately attracted the attention of several major perfume companies in France, and they also sent experts to conduct special identification. At that time, it was the international perfume market, and there was a shortage of high-end raw materials, so those international perfume industry giants offered these raw materials an offer of 20,000 euros per kilogram.
At that time, the exchange rate between the euro and the current pound sterling against the yuan was about the same, that is, about one to thirteen, so the offer of these pieces of ambergris was actually put in his heart for a long time.
"Hehe, the price is not good! Ms. Anna, our family has grown up by the sea for generations, and we have known about ambergris for a long time, and we know it very well as its quality and grade. ”
Li Yifan tried to bargain with her.
"Oh? Is it? Can you tell us about the grade and quality of this ambergris? ”
Anna's question was very direct, but it was also very effective, and she directly left Li Yifan speechless.
"So, I said that the quality of your ambergris products is average, and the highest price we can offer is about 100,000 yuan per kilogram, Mr. Xiao Li, this is not a small amount of money."
Anna took advantage of the victory to pursue, and she also saw that in fact, this Xiao Li was the protagonist of this negotiation.
100,000 yuan per kilogram, 100 kilograms is 10 million, at this time, Li Liqiang, who was sitting next to Li Yifan, was a little dizzy and had a dry mouth, 10 million was enough for him and his wife to work hard and not eat or drink for a hundred years.
He unscrewed the mineral water in front of him, poured it violently, and then quietly signaled to Li Yifan with his eyes, accept this condition. Anna also saw the eye movements between the two clearly, she felt very satisfied with her strategy, and it was estimated that Xiao Li would not be able to hold back soon.
But unexpectedly, Li Yifan shook his head firmly.
"Well, since your company is so uninterested in these pieces of ambergris, we don't have to waste time, and we also made an appointment with the heads of Lancôme and Dior, and I believe they will definitely give a fair price for these ambergris."
Negotiations, it is nothing more than the east wind overpowering the west wind or the west wind overpowering the east wind, since Chanel is so insincere, then there is more than one French perfume company.
Li Yifan is also playing tricks, he is sure that Chanel will definitely not sit idly by and ignore these ambergris, after all, in this era when precious raw materials are becoming more and more scarce, a hundred kilograms of ambergris is a huge temptation for any perfume company, if you get more, then your competitors will get less.
This kind of reasoning, he believes that the lady on the other side must understand, if this method can't suppress her, then he can really only contact Lancôme or Dior's representative.
If the French unite to lower the price, it is a big deal that Lao Tzu will not buy it, you must know that ten years later, these ambergris alone will be sold for a sky-high price of more than 100 million yuan in the collection market in China.
Anna on the other side flashed a trace of anger on her face after hearing Li Yifan's words, but it was quickly replaced by her usual elegance.
"Alright! Then I wish you all the best in finding a buyer. ”
Anna stood up and made a gesture to see off the guest, she looked confident, as if she didn't feel the threat of Li Yifan, at this time, looking at her calm and relaxed look, Li Yifan also felt a little bottomless in her heart.
"Okay, Zaijian."
shook hands with Anna, and saw that the other party really had no intention of retaining and continuing to negotiate, Li Yifan felt that his heart was not sinking, but he couldn't collapse at this time, the big deal was to spend more time in the capital, spend a few more days in the capital, and find a home.
Li Liqiang complained that Li Yifan was too greedy, but at this time, he couldn't argue with his son in front of outsiders, so he could only go to the door with his son unwillingly.
"Please wait."
As soon as she walked to the door, Anna's voice made Li Yifan happy, and sure enough, she couldn't hold back first.
"Hehe, that's the case, I don't know weishenme, I felt very cordial as soon as I saw the two Mr. Li, although our business was not negotiated this time, but we can still make a friend, follow the local customs, why don't I be here at noon today, how about inviting the two of you to have a light meal?"
Anna's words made Li Yifan feel a little disappointed and a little surprised, what the hell is this woman thinking.
But since she said so, then it must be this deal, and there must be a possibility of continuing, so they agreed.
"Okay, please wait for me in the restaurant on the eighth floor first, I'll change my clothes, and then I'll rush over immediately."
Li Liqiang's father and son, who were confused, came to the eighth floor of the Great Wall Hotel like this, Li Liqiang didn't understand, but Li Yifan pondered a little way, could it be that this woman wanted a kickback?
But because in front of Pierre, is it inconvenient for her to speak? Well, it should be like this, after all, whether it is a Chinese or a foreigner these days, they are no strangers to kickbacks.
If you don't charge some kickbacks, you're really sorry for yourself, but I don't know how big this woman's appetite is.
The father and son, who were worried, came to the restaurant on the eighth floor, and as soon as they entered the door, they were led to a private room by the waiter, saying that this was Ms. Anna's Dinghaode, and she would come over later.
After a while, Anna pushed open the door and walked in, just now when she was in the suite, she was wearing a work suit, looking very capable, this time she wore a lilac dress, the neckline was wide open, revealing a piece of white flowers, and her hair was also put down, which looked very attractive, and the old man Pierre did not follow.
