Chapter 41: The First Battle
A week passed quickly, Zhang Xuan came to City B to meet them the day before the formal negotiations, and he was still a little nervous when he saw Anna.
"Don't show up during the negotiation, Chen Chen will go with me." Anna gave the order at the first time.
"Okay" Zhang Zhe replied, and did not ask why. Although Anna's usual performance looks sloppy, she is really strict when facing work. Zhang Zhe didn't plan to ask more.
"I think this Mr. Lin is a little familiar. Not sure why. Chen Chen said softly.
"Maybe I've often seen it on TV, and he's also the nominal head of a charitable foundation." Anna replied indifferently.
"If you can't think of it, don't think about it, it's not very important." Zhang Zhe comforted her in a low voice.
At five o'clock in the morning, Zhang Zhe opened his eyes. He moved slightly, seeing that Chen Chen didn't move, he slowly sat up, put on his clothes, and went down to buy coffee. When she came back, she was still sleeping, Zhang Zhe stared at her for a while, and walked to the window with coffee. The smog outside was heavy, and the gray sky looked depressing, and the empty mind began to think crankily. One moment he thought of the Green Park Group, one moment he remembered Chen Chen's work card, and the other time it became GTE, just when Zhang Zhe no longer knew where his thoughts were drifting, Chen Chen interrupted his nonsense.
"Can't sleep?" She didn't know when she woke up, so she snuggled up on the bed and asked softly.
Zhang Zhe turned her head, she wrapped her head with a quilt, and only one face was exposed, shrunk into a ball and stared at him.
"Well, I'm a little nervous." He turned and sat down on the edge of the bed and tucked the quilt again.
Chen Chen moved in the quilt, wrapped around Zhang Zhe's waist, and through the thick quilt, her posture was a little awkward "Anna and I will appear in a while, and you and Zhang Xuan will stay in the hotel first. Anna doesn't want you to lose in momentum at the beginning, and usually the leaders of other families will not appear. Don't be nervous, it's okay" Chen Chen finally gave up the quilt and reached out to touch his cheek, wanting to comfort him.
"I'll drive you over, we'll wait in the car, and call us if there's something." Zhang Zhe held her hand.
"It's okay, there's still a response." She sat up, took a sip of Zhang Zhe's coffee, and stood up to wash. Chen Chen was also very nervous, but with Anna here, she felt much more at ease.
Anna wore a full dark gray suit, secretly shiny, the crimson brooch was pinned to the dazzle on the collar, and her hair was fixed with hair wax into three or seven points, Zhang Xuan was a little stunned when she walked out of the door, and muttered something with her head down.
Chen Chen walked out of the door and straightened the collar of her suit, she was not wearing a vest, the cuffs of her navy blue suit were not tied and rolled up at her elbows, and the collar of her black shirt was open, which did not look very formal.
"Miss, are you too casual like this?" Anna glanced at her.
"I know, I'll tie it up in a moment." Chen Chen pulled his hair and replied casually. After the car stopped, Zhang Zhe took out her tie, put up the collar and tied a Windsor knot for her, Zhang Zhe looked a little nervous, Chen Chen sorted out his cuffs, smiled lightly to comfort him, opened the door and walked down.
Seeing them leave with the information, Zhang Zhe turned around and asked Zhang Xuan in the back seat: "What were you muttering just now?" ”
Zhang Xuan replied angrily: "I'm talking about Anna, you see, she doesn't look like a woman at all, there are a few women who can wear dazzling suits, and they also wear vests, look at her hair, three or seven points, have you ever heard of oily head and horse face, it's her!" ”
Zhang Xuan had disgust on his face, but his duplicity was too obvious. I hate her so much, why did I observe her so carefully, Zhang Zhe shook his head: "You, you obviously don't hate her, why do you have to find a reason to disdain her."
"Who says I don't hate her?!" Zhang Xuan answered nervously.
"The first time you said it was because you drank too much, you just. . . The second time, I went out with me. Zhang Zhe debunked him.
"Am I so angry!" Zhang Xuan retorted again.
Zhang Zhe shook his head again, and did not intend to continue to discuss this issue.
He was nervous. Chen Chen told him that this was a good thing. When you feel nervous, you prove that you have walked out of the safe zone, and getting out of the safe zone is the first step towards the goal. Zhang Zhe wasn't quite sure if this was the case, but the nervousness was real.
Chen Chen fastened his cuffs, strode towards the conference room of GTE with Anna, and said in a flat tone: "Anna, I'm scared. ”
"Me too." Anna didn't look at her, answered, and opened the door to the conference room.
The other three families were ready, and Mr. Lin sat on the main seat, and when he saw them come in, he beckoned them and motioned for them to sit down.
The other people's negotiation team is four or five people, all negotiators plus deputies and assistants, only Anna and Chen Chen are two people who appear here. Chen Chen's legs, hidden under the table, tensed hard.
"Now that we're all here, let's get started." Mr. Lin turned to face them: "Who will introduce you first?" ”
No one said anything, everyone knew that the first one to stand up would become the target of public criticism, Anna had experienced multi-party negotiations, and deeply understood the concept of shooting the first bird. But there are always people who take the lead, no one answers, and Mr. Lin can only designate himself:
"Anna, you're the smallest here, you come first."
Chen Chen scolded secretly in his heart, the old thing obviously wanted to see us laugh. Anna nodded, not looking impatient, and slowly stood up and buttoned up her suit.
"Hello everyone, we are the dark blue car sales company in S City, as an original small distributor, we are indeed sitting here is a bit of a bottom of everyone's grade, to be able to sit with everyone who is doing, can be listed as our luckiest thing this year." With a smile on her face, Anna complimented her with a salty and non-salty compliment, and her tone was full of the ridicule of 'no matter how big you are, don't you also participate in negotiations with us', which made the other people feel unhappy and difficult to speak.
"At present, the biggest shortcoming of our business report is that we cannot show super anti-risk ability, after all, we have not received relatively large risks for the time being." Anna then laughed at herself, according to the plan, first laid out her shortcomings, let them find the point of attack, only when they attack, can you see the level of their negotiators.
"It's normal that you've been open for a short time, have a small scale, have few types, and don't have too much risk." The representative of Yao Township opened his mouth for the first time.
"That's exactly what we're good at, we were the last to open, and now we're two-thirds the size of you." Anna calmly answered, not panicking.
"There is nothing to praise for rapid growth, we have money in this industry, and anyone can expand." Suzuki's representative spoke immediately after, with obvious hostility.
"Our angel investors are also affirming their strength to a certain extent."
"Investing in this kind of thing is all about losing money and making money, and angel investors don't make sure every time, which doesn't show your strength."
"I feel like the two delegates are missing out on our real bright spots." Anna held up the information in her hand: "Our real highlight is not the speed of angel investment and development, but our strength is the good situation created by using our own strengths." Last year, there was a triple jump in our performance, before that our average performance was only about 500 units per year, after the triple jump, outside the 345 units sold on the day of the triple, After that, we were able to sell an average of 4.98 units per day per day, which was only two brands of sellers at that time, which confirmed our publicity and sales capabilities; after staying in the HQ brand this year, we not only sold high-end inventory cars that had been backlogged for three years as a domestic old brand, and the sales volume reached 688 units on the same day, our sales figures can be checked and verified by many parties without false ingredients, although the scale of you is larger than ours, but I don't think there is a single day highest sales record higher than us. ”
"It doesn't represent your long-term strength." The representative of Yao Township stubbornly resisted.
"Our disadvantage is that we have not been open for a short time, which cannot confirm our anti-risk strength, and what we have just said, and the data we have in our hands, just shows our strengths, publicity and marketing. You all know our shortcomings, you might as well follow our example, stack each of your strengths and weaknesses on the table and analyze it, can you talk about your company's biggest shortcomings? Chen Chen stood up and took over the conversation, dutifully playing the black face.
"The problem now is that you are not qualified to compete with us at all......" The representative of Yao Township took over but was interrupted by Chen Chen
"What is your biggest drawback?" She repeated the question again with a cold face, grabbing at one question after another like a strong reporter, ignoring their questions at all.
The current situation is not a so-called negotiation at all, and it is clear that they intend to exclude this group of small businessmen who are not worthy of participating in the negotiation in their eyes first, and at this time showing weakness can only be regarded as admitting defeat.
Everyone knows where their shortcomings are, and they will not have an advantage when they put it forward, so they all choose to remain silent, and the atmosphere instantly becomes silent.
Chen Chen and Anna glanced at each other, understanding that their opponents were not these two unpopular goods at all, and the representative of Shunda had never spoken from the beginning. Chen Chen pulled the three parties to the front line at one time, at this time, whoever spoke first would be asked by Chen Chen about the shortcomings, no one answered, whoever spoke first would admit defeat first.
In the stalemate, Mr. Lin's assistant suddenly pushed the door and walked in, and said a few words in Mr. Lin's ear, Mr. Lin raised his head: "We have a little accident here, let's change it to tomorrow, I know which of your leaders is coming, don't hold a shelf when you come, come over quickly." With that, he stood up and walked out.
After Mr. Lin left, several families left together, and after the morning, Chen Chen and Anna calmed down and discussed lunch with a smile.
"The two ladies are women who don't let their eyebrows go, and they seem to be confident." The representative of Shunda suddenly walked to the side and said a word.
"After the award, women can hold up half the sky, and there is no difference between women and eyebrows." Chen Chen replied expressionlessly.
"It makes sense, it makes sense, it's easy to watch the two of you, but I'm a little nervous. My surname is Luo, my mother's surname is Yang, my name is Luo Yangfan" He stretched out his hand to Anna. Luo Yangfan is tall and a little thin. The well-cut suit and the outstretched gesture resemble that of an English gentleman. The cheeks are collapsed, and the distance between the eyebrows and eyes is slightly smaller, which makes him look more like a half-blood.
Shaking hands and saying hello in turn, Chen Chen felt a little disgusted, she was not used to this kind of false behind-the-scenes contact, it was better to just tear her up and let her come at ease. She stepped out of the way and motioned for Anna to come over for a party. Anna understood, and a dodge was caught between them.
"Mr. Luo didn't talk much in the morning, which made me a little nervous." Anna complimented her half-truthfully.
"I don't know how to refute them. I didn't dare to speak, I was the one who should be nervous. He smiled and answered.
Seeing that there were people around them, Zhang Zhe pulled Zhang Xuan, who was about to get out of the car: "In order not to lose to them in momentum when we don't show up, you will ruin Anna's hard work if you go out now." “
Chen Chen was worried that they would get out of the car to greet him, and decided to dare to take Luo Yangfan first.
"Mr. Luo is fine, the two of us will leave first."
"If you two are free, let's eat together at noon, it's a pity not to eat roast duck in City B."
"No, Mr. Luo won't participate in the sweet lunch of our two lovers. See you in the afternoon. Anna used her nirvana, kissed Chen Chen's face, and pulled her affectionately into the distance.
Luo Yangfan didn't expect Anna to say this, and they were stunned for a moment and they had already left.
"Brother Luo, that Chen Chen should be their boss's girlfriend, what's the situation now?"
"What did the two of them do before?"
"I used to work in Greenpark, but after the company went public and changed from Greenpark Building to Greenpark Group, Chen Chen was fired because of the infighting among the directors, and Anna resigned by herself. ”
Throughout the morning, when Anna was a little aggressive, he noticed that Chen Chen seemed to tap on the table, and Anna would immediately retract her aggressive attitude and start to retreat appropriately. One attack and one defense, Anna's personality is flamboyant and easy to contact, but Chen Chen is not too silent so that Luo Yangfan can't guess what she wants next, she wanted to test it, but she failed.
"There's a hard fight." As he spoke, he unbuttoned and got into the car, kicking the dust away.
