Chapter 178: Negotiation
Just when Terauchi Chengichi was thinking wildly, the adjutant came out and took him to Li Guohui's office, and as soon as he entered the office, Terauchi Chengyi said with a smile on his face: "Hello, General Li, I was entrusted by our boss, Mr. Tony Downing, to come from Okinawa to Mengsa to do business with you. ”
Li Guohui shook his head: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm not a general, just a small regiment commander." I said that your boss is really powerful, I didn't know I was coming to Mengsar two months ago, but your boss actually knew about it, and specially sent you over, this is really an unpredictable prophet! ”
Chengyi in the temple knew that Li Guohui was ridiculing him, but he didn't care, and he also glanced at Li Guohui in his heart, because ordinary people will inevitably be complacent when they suddenly get such a good situation, and their names and positions will rise again and again, even if they are bandits, they will also be called commanders, but this Li Guohui still always remembers that he is just a regiment commander, you must know that now his troops are nearly 10,000, and they are almost the strength of a division.
So Terauchi explained more humbly: "None of this is important, the important thing is that you are now the de facto controller of Mengsa, so it is definitely the right choice for our boss to ask you to cooperate." ”
Li Guohui waved his hand: "Okay, don't talk about these useless things, let's talk about it, what kind of business did your boss send you to me this time?" ”
Terauchi Chengyi took out a very sealed letter from his backpack, handed it to Li Guohui and said: "Head Li, our boss wants to establish a long-term and stable white goods business with you, as long as you agree, your goods will be distributed all over Japan in the future." This is a contract written by our boss himself,"
Li Guohui took the letter, read it, and asked casually: "I have one thing I don't understand, in my memory, your boss Mr. Tony Downing should not be short of money, the backpacks and parachutes we used when we fought the Japanese were produced by his factory, and in the past two years, I heard that he has contracted a lot of munitions business for the US military in the Korean battlefield." You should be able to make a lot of money. So why bother with this kind of business that doesn't make much money and ruins your reputation? ”
Terauchi hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Actually, our boss doesn't do this business all for money. His main purpose was to poison the Japanese with white goods. ”
When Li Guohui heard Chengyi's words, he raised his head in surprise and asked, "What is it?" To poison the Japanese? So you, aren't you? Speaking of which, Li Guohui was a little speechless. In fact, what he meant was that Tony Downing was an American, and he went to dump white goods to harm the Japanese in order to make money. This is somewhat reasonable, but what are you trying to do as a Japanese person? Is this what is called day by day?
Terauchi Chengyi seemed to understand what Li Guohui meant, and explained: "Commander Li, our boss, like you, is from a military background. He was a captain and staff officer in the U.S. Army, and many of his comrades died at the hands of the Japanese during the war against the Japanese, so he will never hate the Japanese less than you. As for myself, I'm actually from the Ryukyus, not Japanese. I guess Commander Lee must have known about the 1945 Ryukyu Massacre, right? ”
At this time, Li Guohui suddenly realized: "Oh, that's the case, I said how did your boss give up the good situation in Tokyo, but ran to the small island of Okinawa, at first I thought he was going to be a local overlord." It turned out that I had found like-minded comrades-in-arms, so it's no wonder. ”
"Commander Li, you were also a famous anti-Japanese general, so you must be a comrade-in-arms who is like-minded with our boss, let me tell you, now with the wind of the Korean War, the little devils have made a lot of dollars, we can't let go of this money, right?"
Li Guohui nodded: "Well, what you said makes sense, wait for me to take a good look at this contract." And then I'll tell you. In fact, Li Guohui really felt that this guy called Seiichi Terauchi spoke awkwardly, although he insisted that he was a Ryukyuan, but in his heart there was not much difference between Ryukyuan and Japanese, and he had always regarded the Ryukyu Massacre as a dog-eat-dog.
But I looked at the contract for a while. Li Guohui nodded frequently, and couldn't help but secretly praise Tony Downing in his heart, secretly saying No wonder people can create such a big industry and make so much money, he is really a business wizard, not to mention anything else. Just talking about this contract, it is not something that ordinary people can do, I originally thought that I had integrated and improved the cargo process here in Mengsa, which was already very remarkable, but now compared with other people's professions, I really don't know how bad it is.
After a long time, Li Guohui raised his head and said: "Well, your boss is indeed a master, he takes advantage of him everywhere in the whole contract, but I can't find fault with him." Alright, I'll do as he says, but I have two requests. ”
Seeing that Li Guohui agreed, Chengyi in the temple was in a good mood, and hurriedly said: "Head Li, you said, as long as it is a reasonable request, I will promise you for our boss." ”
Li Guohui raised two fingers and said: "First, the number of goods every year should be increased, and the current number should be increased by two percent, otherwise we will not guarantee transportation." Second, if your boss develops a new product, you have to share the technology. ”
Listening to Li Guohui's words, Chengichi in the temple couldn't help frowning slightly, although this Li Guohui seems to be just a big boss in the army on the surface, but in fact he is shrewd and terrifying, he has already thought a lot of highly of him in his heart when he saw those armed escort horse teams on the way here, but this negotiation, but found that he still underestimated him, although on the surface he was very bold to agree to the boss's contract, but the two requirements he put forward are the key points.
First of all, the number of goods, although the domestic market in Japan will certainly not be very small, but now the forces staring at this market are not one or two, even if the boss's strength is strong, but in the case of not being able to appear in a high-profile manner, it will definitely not be able to take the largest share of this market, so it is impossible to rush into too many goods in the early stage, but this Li Guohui is threatened by transportation, you must know that now in Myanmar, especially in the Mengsar region, if there is no escort from his horse team, then the goods will not even go out for ten kilometers. And the amount he asked for an increase was just stuck at his limit, if Li Guohui asked for an increase of fifty percent, then he would turn around and leave, and he wouldn't even talk about it at all, but two percent, in fact, he could agree to grit his teeth.
