434. Is this a threat?
Through such tables, Tang International knows a lot about the people who need to know.
The so-called knowing this and knowing the other side will win all battles.
It is precisely because of this careful understanding of each individual that Tang's International can develop so well.
The secretary nodded, indicating that he would immediately investigate, and within twenty-four hours at most, he could hand over the comprehensive ability evaluation form.
The efficiency of the secretary, Tang Guoyao was still very relieved, waved his hand to signal that the other party could go out, and then he recalled Huo Bufan's previous performance, and a slight smile appeared on his face: "It's an interesting young man." ”
Tang Guoyao's impression of Huo Bufan is still good, as for whether he should consider making him the son-in-law of the Tang family, it is unknown for the time being. At the very least, I have to wait until I know this person well enough to ask my daughter what she thinks.
Tang Zhongwei's ideas are more important to Tang Guoyao than anyone else.
As long as his daughter likes it, he can let it, but if his daughter doesn't like it, then even if death comes, he can't take Tang Zhongwei away!
At the same time, Huo Bufan and Ji Xiangning had already come to the office of Tang's International Foreign Negotiation Department.
Tang Zhongwei had greeted them in advance, so it was the department director who was in charge of receiving them this time.
A figure of this level is even higher than Ji Zhenxiong's social status.
When facing Ji Zhenxiong, Ji Xiangning could still show a strong side, but in front of this director named Shi Xingning, she was very uneasy.
As the person in charge of foreign cooperation at Tang International, Shi Xingning is a very serious and cautious person. He is very cautious in dealing with people and things.
Maybe it's because it's too cautious, but it seems unapproachable.
Fortunately, in addition to Ji Xiangning, there is also Huo Bufan.
Huo Bufan's performance was much better than Ji Xiangning, and he dared to be sarcastic about Tang Guoyao, let alone a department director. In the past, such a character didn't even dare to raise his head in front of him.
"Since the two of you are not outsiders, let's get straight to the point. I have already read the cooperation application you submitted, and to be honest, we are not particularly interested in the distribution rights of that electronics factory. I believe that the two of you also understand that Tang International is also very vocal in this regard, and we have also built a special research laboratory overseas. As long as there is enough time, it is completely possible to research these independently, rather than just getting a part of the distribution rights. ”
Shi Xingning's words were said very bluntly, which made Ji Xiangning's face pale and her body tremble.
She thought about it a lot, but she didn't expect that the people from Tang's International would deny the idea of cooperation as soon as they came up.
Think about it, what kind of existence is Tang International?
People are the top in various fields, even if Miao Yike's electronics factory is very good, but in China can only be regarded as second-rate, how can it be compared with Tang's International.
If you want to cooperate, you have to come up with something decent.
The hope in her heart was extinguished, which made Ji Xiangning's heart very heavy. Because of the success of international cooperation with the Tang family, she couldn't explain when she returned to Ji's house was the real trouble.
At this time, Huo Bufan spoke: "Director Shi's words, I don't agree with them. It is undeniable that Tang's International has strong R&D capabilities, but as we all know, R&D is actually a matter of luck. With a bit of luck, the hurdle will be overcome soon. If you are unlucky, you will spend tens of billions of dollars, and you will not be able to produce results in ten or eight years. We submitted an electronics factory project that is among the best in the world in its field, and only a few top technology companies can meet such standards. To put it mildly, with the current scientific research capabilities of Tang International, I think it is unlikely that it will be able to do this in at least three years. ”
"Do you know anything about our lab?" Shi Xingning asked rhetorically, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
Ji Xiangning's body trembled when she heard this, she didn't know how Huo Bufan could be so bold and say that they couldn't do it in front of others.
Huo Bufan didn't have any fear because of Shi Xingning's attitude, and said: "I have some understanding, but I know more about the situation of science and technology." Since we know that it is impossible for Tang International to study these things in three years, our cooperation is very meaningful. Tang International can use the three years saved to stand on the shoulders of others and look to the more distant future. Three years is enough time to make scientific and technological progress, which Director Shi should understand. There is another point, that is, the Huo family. ”
"The Huo family? What does it have to do with the Huo family? Shi Xingning asked.
"The electronics factory has signed a cooperation agreement with the Huo family to supply products at a price 10% below the market price. If the Huo family dominates in this regard, it will put a lot of pressure on other competitors, including Tang International. But if Tang International can also participate in it, it can counteract the Huo family. There are many rumors about the grievances between the two of you, and I think your company will be happy to give the Huo family some eye drops. Huo Bufan said.
"So you're using a method of sowing discord to promote cooperation?" Shi Xingning's face turned cold, and he said, "And you said that the Huo family has signed a cooperation agreement with you, so can I think that your behavior is against the spirit of the contract and betraying your partner?" Even you betrayed the Huo family, how can I make sure that you will not betray us in the future. For those who are not sincere, Tang International has always been resolute in not cooperating. ”
Ji Xiangning's hand squeezed, her nervousness now was several times heavier than before she came.
Every time Huo Bufan said one more word, her heart trembled a few more times, and the more Huo Bufan said, the more panicked Ji Xiangning felt.
Because every sentence of Huo Bufan lies in Shi Xingning's-for-tat, between words, he does not regard Tang International as a large company at all.
And Shi Xingning was also upset by him, and began to say some unpleasant things, if this continues, how can there be any possibility of cooperation?
Thinking of the letter of guarantee she signed, Ji Xiangning was completely panicked.
"It's not a betrayal, it's a check." Huo Bufan said: "When the Huo family first cooperated with the electronics factory, the price was reduced to a price that was forty percent lower than the market price. At this price, the electronics factory almost did not have any profit, but they also had to change the permission of the mold at will, which is equivalent to using the content of the contract to make the electronics factory lose money at any time. This kind of cooperation, to put it bluntly, is another kind of control in disguise. If the electronics factory doesn't listen to them, they can make a lot of extra costs by changing the mold. And if they don't agree to cooperate, the Huo family will issue a statement to slander the electronics factory as a manufacturer with unqualified standards. Although in the end, the electronics factory resisted the pressure of the Huo family and negotiated the price back to the original price, but this incident also made the senior management realize that the Huo family was not a good partner to work with. It's just that the contract has been signed, there is no way to regret it, they know that I and Tang Zhongwei are good friends, so they entrusted me and General Manager Ji Xiangning to come to negotiate with your company, hoping to start another cooperation. ”
Huo Bufan paused, and then continued: "To put it bluntly, Tang International is a way for us to check and balance the Huo family, with you here, the Huo family doesn't dare to flip the table easily, that's all." Of course, cooperation is mutually beneficial, whether to save these three years, as well as a large amount of research funds, your company has the right to decide, we have no right to interfere. And Director Shi can rest assured, even if you don't agree, I won't go to Tang Zhongwei and use my personal relationship to do anything. In a large company like this, it is impossible for personal relationships to influence the company's decision-making. We will only find a company of the same level as Tang's International and try to apply for cooperation again. If one doesn't work, find another one. I believe that with the world's top technical standards, it should not be difficult to find collaborators. As for Down's International, when it reaches that standard three years from now, it may be worth thinking about what it missed today. ”
"Is this a threat?" Shi Xingning asked.
"No, it's just the advice of a collaborator, whether this is reasonable or not, Director Shi should understand better than us." Huo Bufan said.
Shi Xingning stared at him for a few minutes without speaking, and the atmosphere in the office seemed very solemn.
They didn't speak, and Ji Xiangning didn't dare to speak, looking restless.
After a while, Shi Xingning suddenly laughed and said, "No wonder the eldest lady has been telling me that you are a very good person and persuading me to cooperate with you." Now it seems that although the eldest lady doesn't like to do business, she is right to look at people. ”
