Chapter 167: Sudden Negotiations
According to Mao Yongyi and Zhao Wende, Liang Guangqi helped Song Mu so much, she couldn't say anything if she didn't trick her. Although Song Mu was not worried about being tricked, the current state of not being provoked made her feel a little uncomfortable.
It's uncomfortable, and she can't directly point at Liang Guangqi's nose and ask him to fix herself, so she has to wait for that moment to come with some trepidation.
Liu Difu's phone call also came, and Liu Difu said that there was a little problem in the middle.
Liu Difu was more or less a celebrity, so when he went to inquire about buying 110 of the latest Macintana computers, the manager of the computer store he went to personally received him.
After some consultation, the store manager was surprised to find that the one hundred and ten computers that purchased them were not the United States Film Science Society! It's the country of China on the other side of the ocean!
This made him realize that this matter did not seem to be something that his little store manager could handle. So he quickly contacted the regional manager of Angel City, and the regional manager of Angel City contacted the regional manager...... After reporting it layer by layer, the executives of the fruit company went to visit Liu Difu in person......
"So, now the executives of their fruit company are outside in the living room." Liu Difu said: "After they learned that the buyer was Huaguo's Haishi Fine Arts Film Studio, they wanted to take the initiative to talk to you. ”
After listening to this story, Song Mu felt like he couldn't cry or laugh. knew that this would be the result, why did she still look for Liu Difu? Directly ask Han Yangqiu's younger brother to ask, or find the phone number of the fruit company by yourself, and call the fruit company in person?
Now it's really not cost-effective to delay Liu Difu's time in vain.
"Xiao Song, do you want to talk to them?" On the other side of the phone, Liu Difu asked again: "If you don't want to talk to them, I can refuse them on your behalf." ”
"Uh, thank you, Mr. Liu, since everyone has found you, why don't you talk a little bit." Song Mu said.
At the same time, she motioned to Han Yangqiu to pick up the receiver of a telephone extension, so that she could act as a simultaneous translator for a while.
After a while, an unfamiliar male voice came from the phone: "Hey, hello Miss Song." ”
The other side spoke Chinese, although the accent was not very standard, but Song Mu still had a good impression of the fruit company: "Hello." ”
"I'm Pete Joyce." The person on the other end of the line introduced himself, "Wait a minute, I'll translate for you and Mr. Hill." ”
"No," Han Yangqiu's fluent English suddenly appeared in the earpiece: "I can act as a translator, of course Mr. Joyce can be an auditor, if I have a problem with my translation, you can add it." ”
Han Yangqiu's voice appeared so suddenly that Joyce was stunned for a moment, and when he realized that the other party was speaking fluent English, Joyce said "Sure" happily.
Then, another voice came over the phone, apparently Mr. Hill that Joyce had mentioned.
Hill first gave a brief greeting, congratulated the success of "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother", and expressed his reverence for Huaguohai Fine Arts Film Studio, before he introduced the topic.
He said it for a long time, and the content was more complicated, but the summary meaning was actually very simple, throwing away those euphemisms and embellishments, from beginning to end, I just wanted to say one thing - we want to sell you 110 computers at a discount, but you have to allow us to use the name of your Huaguohai Fine Arts Film Studio to promote our Macintana!
This news should be good news for Song Mu, after all, the price of a computer is not cheap, even if the current elite group is a local tyrant per capita, but if you buy more than 80 computers at a time, there is still some pressure to invest millions of dollars.
As for Song Mu, in addition to taking the money for these more than 80 computers, he also has to bear the money for more than 30 computers for software development.
Since the fruit company itself asks for a discount, why not?
"So, how much discount would you like to give?" Song Mu replied in her slightly broken English.
"How about a nine-fold discount?" Mr. Hill replied without thinking.
"Hmm......" Song Mu pretended to groan, and then said in a somewhat regretful voice: "I think with our current reputation and limelight, the nine-percent discount given by your company is not very attractive. ”
Hill seemed to have guessed that there would be such an answer, and he still didn't want to give the next level of discount: "Miss Song, how about you see the 85% discount?" ”
Song Mu also said to Hill in a regretful tone again: "Mr. Hill, your company doesn't seem to have any sincerity, I think it's better to return the phone to Mr. Defoe, we decided to buy it at the original price." ”
"......" This time, Hill fell silent for a short time, he seemed to be struggling, and only after a moment did he grit his teeth and said: "Miss Song, I am willing to give you a seventy-fifty discount, this is already the biggest concession that my authority can give." ”
Song Mu was not moved by his words, she had experienced the later generations, and knew that during this time period, Jobs, the soul of the fruit, had already been forced to leave, and the positioning of fruit products was deviated, and the situation of the fruit company was not optimistic, and it gradually began to decline.
This would continue until Jobs returned, but no one except Song Mu knew about it now.
"I can give you a promise," Song Mu neither promised nor refused, she just said to herself calmly: "Our next animated film will be all done by Macintana." ”
"What?!" On the other end of the phone, Hill's words were almost shouted.
However, Song Mu's words were not finished, "In addition, for the next animation, we will develop software that perfectly matches Macintana, and this software is planned to perfectly support Waqam's hand-drawn tablet." ”
"What?!" It's as if Hill has become a repeater, and in addition to getting louder and louder, it seems like he's just saying "What".
Song Mu was quite satisfied with Hill's reaction, and she was not in a hurry to say anything, so she quietly listened to the other side repeating various exclamations in English, and practiced English listening.
After another moment, Hill seemed to have finished venting his excitement, and he stabilized his emotions before he reconfirmed to Song Mu: "Miss Song, is what you said true?" ”
"It can be true." Although she couldn't see it on the other end of the phone, Song Mu still had a smile on her face, and she believed that even if Hill couldn't understand Chinese, she could feel it from her tone: "It's just okay." It depends on the sincerity of your company. ”
After Han Yangqiu finished translating, Hill fell silent, Song Mu knew that he must not be struggling at this time, but thinking about what kind of "sincerity" he had to show in order to impress this new star in the animation industry.
Song Mu still waited calmly, waiting for Hill to give him his "sincerity".
'The cost of making international calls must be quite expensive, right?' Will this Mr. Hill give Chairman Liu a phone bill? If I don't give it, will Chairman Liu hate me......? ’
"Miss Song," just as Song Mu was thinking wildly, Hill's voice came from the phone again: "I'm sorry, the conditions you gave are too attractive, I don't think my authority is enough to finalize this matter." ”
This answer was basically expected by Song Mu, so she replied happily: "It's okay, you can contact me after confirming with your boss, of course, you can also ask your boss to contact me directly, I can wait." ”
Song Mu's answer was also not unexpected by Hilde, and he hung up the phone after thanking the happy Song Mu.
"Whew~" Song Mu let out a sigh of relief, although she was unusually calm when making this call, I have to say that the pressure she was under was also very huge.
Looking at Han Yangqiu, who was acting as a simultaneous translator not far away, she showed a sincere smile: "How are you and how I behaved?" ”
Han Yangqiu gave her a thumbs up, and at the same time replied succinctly in the verbal language that Song Mu liked to use: "Niu Pi!" ”
