Early the next morning, when Yabuki Shinzo was having breakfast at home, there was a sudden knock on the door, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was a strong man in a black suit, and Yabuki Shinzo asked with some confusion: "May I ask who you are looking for?" ”

The stout man didn't answer, but asked, "Are you Mr. Shinzo Yabuki?" ”

Yabuki Shinzo replied with some hesitation: "Yes, I am, you are?" ”

The stout man replied, "I'm from Matsuda Trading Company, our big boss has seen the design you provided, and I am a little interested, please come to the trading company at ten o'clock today for a detailed discussion!" ”

Yabuki Shinzo asked with some confusion, "You big boss?" Is it Team Leader Matsuda? ”

The sturdy man said with some unhappiness: "Team leader Matsuda is the boss, and our big boss is Mr. Tang Ning!" ”

Listening to the words of the stout man, Yabuki Shinzo said excitedly: "It turned out to be Mr. Tangning, that's good, that's good, I promise to arrive at the trading company on time at ten o'clock, thank you for coming to know." ”

The stout man bowed slightly again and said, "Okay, I hope you can arrive on time, Mr. Yabuki, and I'll go back, goodbye!" ”

After sending off the sturdy man, Yabuki Shingo hummed a little song and walked briskly back to the bedroom, constantly rummaging through the clothes to choose, and the wife next to him asked strangely, "What's wrong with you, why are you going, dressed so formally?" ”

Yabuki Shinzo replied excitedly, "Wife, do you know who the person who came to me just now? That's the people of Matsuda Trading Company, they took a fancy to my design and asked me to go to the trading company at ten o'clock to negotiate, and it was not the owner of the trading company, Matsuda Yoshiko, but the big boss Tony Downing! ”

"Isn't the owner of Matsuda Trading Company Yoshiko Matsuda? When did you become a foreigner? Yabuki Shinzo's wife asked suspiciously.

Shinzo Yabuki refuted: "What do you know, this Matsuda Yoshiko is just the boss on the surface, the real big boss behind the scenes of Matsuda Trading Company is Tony Downing, an American, people own more than Matsuda Trading Company, it turns out that the best factories in Tokyo City, what cola factory, saber factory, and nylon factory that produces your favorite stockings are all other people's industries!" ”

The wife said in surprise: "Oh my God, husband." It's actually this big boss who has taken a fancy to your design, Boss Tangning, I know it too well, not to mention anything else, nylon stockings alone are enough for him to make a fortune. In the first two years, I couldn't buy it if I wanted to. Husband, it seems that we can really make a lot of money this time. ”

Yabuki Shinzo frowned and said, "I think a lot of money is enough, if this American really attaches great importance to my design, then he should come to me in person, and now he just sent a subordinate to inform me of the past." I guess I'm just more interested, but even so, it should be very promising, at least more promising than those bosses, so today I must behave well, try to convince and impress him, sell the design at a good price, and then we can change to a big house! ”

The wife encouraged: "Well, husband, I believe in you, come on!" ”

Ten o'clock in the morning. Yabuki Shinzo came to the door of Downing's office on time, and walked into the office under the guidance of his entourage, Downing sat at the back of the large office desk and just raised his head slightly, and greeted: "It's Mr. Yabuki, please take a seat, I'm glad you can come over today, but unfortunately I'm very busy these days, so I can only give you 15 minutes." "Actually, Tang Ning didn't have any arrangements today, so he was just putting pressure on Yabuki Shinzo to gain the upper hand in the negotiations.

Shinzo Yabuki, who has little negotiation experience, really hit the plan. Hurriedly got up and said: "I know that Mr. Tang Ning is in charge of every day, you must be very busy, don't worry, I will definitely make good use of these fifteen minutes." ”

Tang Ning nodded and said, "Hmm." Thank you for your understanding, then let's get straight to the topic, I took a look at your improvement plan for rice cookers, and it is indeed very thoughtful, but now the overall situation of the rice cooker market, you should know better than me as a layman. What reason do you think I have to enter this field that I am already very unfamiliar with, and that Mitsubishi, Panasonic, and Sony have all failed to prove? ”

Yabuki Shizo had been prepared for Tang Ning's question, after all, when he was in other companies before, he basically rejected him with this question as a concern, so he had already thought about how to answer: "The current rice cooker market is not good, because the current rice cooker is not practical enough, and it must be watched by someone all the time, and it is easy to burn, which is not convenient at all."

That's what I've done to improve the rice, and as soon as the rice is cooked, the heating will be automatically stopped, and the customer will just put the rice and water in the first place, and then forget about it. Well, it's a bit like the instant noodles you're selling right now, which are the most convenient and fast way.

Nowadays, many workers work very long hours and are very tired, so they don't have that much time to cook, and it is much more convenient to have this timed rice cooker, so I am very confident in this design. ”

To be honest, Yabuki Shinzo's rhetoric has basically convinced Downing, because what Yabuki Shinzo said is indeed the biggest shortcoming of the rice cooker on the market now, as a modern person who has crossed over from 2015, Downing naturally knows how big the rice cooker market is, but in order to reduce the price, on the surface he has to pretend that he has not been moved at all: "Mr. Yabuki Shinzo, what you said is just your speculation, if the market can accept your timed rice cooker, then naturally everything is easy to say, But if I don't accept it, then I will have to lose a lot of money, I think you also know something about me, I have been in business until now, but I have not lost it, I don't want to smash the signboard on you. ”

Yabuki Shinzo said with a sad face: "Mr. Tangning, you are a strong man, who can say for sure what is going on in the market, but I am really confident in my design, so let's do it, you can produce a small part first, and then operate it through the way you initially promoted instant noodles, and then see the market effect, if the effect feedback is good, you buy this design again, if it is not good, you don't buy it." Do you think that's going to work? ”

Tang Ning said in his heart that it is not good, once this thing is put into the market, it is very likely that it will have a very good response, and it will not be easy for him to win it at a low price at that time, so he pretended to groan and said: "If you produce a part of it first, then I will be equivalent to using your patent, forget it, don't be so troublesome, according to your offer, I will buy it directly with a discount, and it will be regarded as my gamble!"
