Chapter 254: Difficult

On the fourth day after the Yingli businessman moved into Yiguan (the merchant house designated by foreign businessmen in Suizhou), Zhuang Mingxi held a banquet in Shen Mansion to entertain the foreign businessman named Gilson. Negotiate business with him in the name of reminiscence, in which he is promised many preferential terms and benefits, and Gilson's eyes light up when he listens.

At this time, Gilson suddenly said something in a foreign language, and Zhuang Mingxi looked at the translator who was sitting next to him. As a customs city, Suizhou has specialized in 'dealing' with foreign businessmen in recent years, and of course it has also bred a number of people who specialize in translation work. Because some businessmen have lived in the coastal area for a long time, they also 'traded' privately with foreign businessmen before Suizhou opened customs, because many people can speak a few foreign languages, such as Pan Guan, Yang Guan, and even have conversations with foreign businessmen.

However, Zhuang Mingxi has only been in Suizhou for three years, and he does not understand foreign languages.

The interpreter told her that what Gilson meant was that Shengshi and Boss Pan of Fenghe Bank had come to him, saying that as long as he 'handed over' the underwriting rights to Fenghe Bank, Shengshi could provide them with ten catties of tribute tea Biluo 'Chun'.

Gilson looked at Zhuang Mingxi and muttered for a while, and translated: "Mr. Gilson said, I had a good time cooperating with your bank last time, and I shouldn't have refused Mrs. Shen's request, I have heard the name of Biluo 'Chun', which is said to be one of the best teas in Daqi, and also the favorite of the emperor of your country, I couldn't buy it if I wanted to buy it last year, and I don't want to give up this opportunity this year, I'm sorry." ”

Hearing his words, Zhuang Mingxi sighed for a while, and then smiled: "But the price I gave you is Mr. Gilson, which neither Yifeng Hong nor Shengshi can give you, since we are old acquaintances, I might as well be honest about some things." Speaking of drinking tea, your country is far less than our country has a long history, a long history, for the guests of your country, tea is tea, Biluo 'spring', West Lake Longjing or how much difference there is? It's just an adjunct to making 'milk' tea, and I think most people only care about whether the tea you sell them is expensive or cheap. You cooperate with me, and the price I give you can make you earn more profits, and those profits are not more attractive than ten catties of Biluo 'Spring'? ”

After listening to the translator's words, Gilson watched Zhuang Mingxi be silent for a long time, as if he was thinking carefully.

Zhuang Mingxi didn't 'force' him either, "Mr. Gilson might as well think about it more before making a decision."

When talking to someone about business, you should put yourself in the other person's point of view, and if you can make the other person feel as if they are putting themselves in their shoes, then the matter is at least half the battle.

This is what she learned from Qin Tian.

Zhuang Mingxi looked at Mr. Gilson's 'fascinating' smile and said, "Mr. Gilson, why don't you let me take you to visit my 'flower' garden?" ”

After sending Gilson away, the magpie asked her puzzled: "Madam, the plan is not like this, it should be necessary to let the young 'milk' and 'milk' successfully get the comprador power this time."

Zhuang Mingxi said in a deep voice: "I will let her get the comprador power, but definitely not in the way I lost to her" She couldn't help but clench her hand holding the teacup, and her eyes seemed to be lit with flames

She would never allow herself to lose to that person again in her life

On the other hand, Qin Tian and Mr. Gilson had negotiated smoothly, but when she went to Yiguan to meet Gilson on the details of the cooperation that day, she found that Gilson's attitude had changed a lot, and he asked her if the price of tea could be reduced by two percent?

"If someone gives me this price, as long as your bank can also get this price and continue to provide Biluo 'spring', I will facilitate your bank's cooperation." The translator conveyed Gilson's meaning to Qin Tian on the side.

In fact, Qin Tian had already discovered that the language of this Yingli country was very similar to the English of her previous life, and English was not a problem for her at all, she could understand every word he said. However, since she was only a rural girl, she could not have the opportunity to come into contact with English, so she hired a translator to follow her throughout the negotiation process.

The translator is about forty years old, and it is said that he has spent a few years in Yingli, but Qin Tian feels that his English is not as good as his own, such as pronunciation, which is not pure at all. However, the meaning was never wrong, so Qin Tian also pretended not to understand anything and relied on him to talk to Mr. Gilson.

Hearing Gilson's words, Qin Tian immediately understood, he looked at Jaerson and smiled: "The person who said this to Mr. should be Mrs. Shen of Yifeng Xing."

Gilson's royal blue eyes widened and exclaimed, "How did Madame know?" ”

In fact, Qin Tian was not completely sure before, but seeing Gilson's appearance, he was completely sure of his guess.

This Zhuang Mingxi, why still use this kind of means that can't be put on the table

"We have a saying in Daqi, you get what you pay for, and if Mrs. Shen gives you this price, there will be no too good tea for you. The difference between the advantages and disadvantages of tea is still very large, the soup brewed by good tea is fragrant and refreshing, but the defective products will be bitter and astringent, and there is no taste at all. ……”

Before Qin Tian's words fell, he saw Gilson take out a small bamboo tube from his body and put it on the coffee table, pouring out some tea leaves from it.

He motioned to her to look: "These are the samples of tea that Mrs. Shen gave me, although I don't know much about tea, but I can also see that these are not defective."

Qin Tian was surprised, and hurriedly took a closer look, and saw that what was poured out of the small bamboo tube were some high-grade green tea, and this kind of green tea was sold at such a price, and there was no money to be made at all

Suddenly, Qin Tian understood that it was not that Zhuang Mingxi's methods could not be put on the table, but that he underestimated her. As long as she can get a general merchant, in her opinion, this business is not profitable.

However, everyone can fight a price war, but they can't in their prosperous years, not because they can't afford to lose, but because they were originally appointed by the government to join the public bank in order to maintain the management of tea, if they still participate in these price wars, they can win the competition by this means, and they will not be able to convince the public in the future.

What's more, Gilson is not the only foreign businessman who has recently 'traded', there are so many foreign businessmen living in Yiguan, if they know this price, wouldn't it cause 'chaos' and 'chaos' in the market, causing Daqi's losses? In this way, they are only afraid that they will be questioned by the government.

Thinking of this, Qin Tian only felt a chill in his back.

Time will make people grow, and now Zhuang Mingxi's mind is more careful than in the past, such a person seems to be determined to oppose her, and it is really a headache to think about.

For a while, Qin Tian's mind was 'chaotic' and chaotic, and she couldn't think of any good way, so she had to stabilize Gilson first, saying that she would have two days to think about it, so that he would not be in a hurry to make a decision. Gilson still thinks about the 'spring' of the prosperous Biluo and wants to 'make friends' with the prosperous world, but he wants to take the opportunity to lower the price of the prosperous world. Seeing that she was moved, she readily agreed.

After breaking up with Gilson, Qin Tian went directly to the Shen Mansion.

The Shen Mansion is located in the prosperous area in the south of the city, and the long wall occupies almost half of the street.

Coming to the big 'gate' entrance, Qingliu handed over the name post, and after a while, there were people who introduced them into the Shen Mansion, all the way only to feel prosperous, poor and extravagant, rare birds and treasures, beautiful.

Aoyagi was stunned to see it on the side, and lowered his voice and said to Qin Tiandao: "It is said that the merchants of Suizhou are so rich that they have finally seen it today."

Qin Tian frowned, thinking of the words "tree big wind", these businessmen all love to enjoy, as far as the merchants she visited, which mansion was not made of gold 'jade', beautiful? It's not a good thing to be so swaggering.

Just as they were thinking, the next man had already led them to the hall.

The hall is marble for the ground, sandalwood is the wall, and all kinds of antique treasures and calligraphy and paintings can be seen everywhere, which can be described as extremely luxurious.

This time, Aoyagi was so surprised that she couldn't even speak, she was used to the low-key simplicity of the dealer's house, but she didn't expect the mansion to be so beautiful.

Even the little maid serving tea is well-dressed. Not to mention the gold painting of the tea set.

Just as the master and servant were amazed, a coquettish laugh came, and the master and servant looked at the sound, but saw Zhuang Mingxi, who was dressed as 'fine', walked in.

smiled before speaking: "Rare guests, rare guests, really rare guests who can't be invited"

While speaking, Zhuang Ming walked over with Nana in a smile, took Qin Tian's hand and said affectionately: "Sister-in-law, why don't you let someone notify you earlier, and let my sister-in-law prepare well, in this way, I'm afraid that I will snub my sister-in-law." ”

Qin Tian smiled slightly, and 'withdrew' his hand, it was her business that she loved acting, who was impatient to accompany her to act.

"I'm not here to catch up today, I have something I want to ask Mrs. Shen about you." Qin Tian opened the 'door' to see the mountain.

Seeing her 'draw' her hand, Zhuang Mingxi was not annoyed, she smiled, turned around and sat down in the middle of the hall, her back was 'straight', and the master's style was full.

"Sister-in-law has something to say, just say it directly, and the little sister must know everything," Zhuang Mingxi looked at her and smiled slightly.

"I've heard that you 'traded' with Mr. Gilson at 20% below the market price, but is that the case?" Qin Tian looked at her, his face contemplative.

Zhuang Mingxi didn't hesitate at all, and agreed very happily: "Yes, there is indeed such a thing, what's the problem?" ”

"How can there be no problem? Zhuang Mingxi, you are evil 'sexual' competition, your practice will affect other tea merchants, and even the entire export industry, I order you to stop this behavior immediately as the supervisor of the tea industry" Qin Tiansheng 'lust' is very strong.

But even so, Zhuang Mingxi was still not in a hurry, she looked at Qin Tian and raised an eyebrow: "If I don't obey your orders, what are you going to do with me?" ”

Qin Tian was speechless.

He came out of anger without thinking about it.

Yes, the government gave her this position, but because there is no precedent for reference, the government has not had time to clarify the functions and powers of this position.

It is equivalent to saying that she is now in a vacuum, because she clearly knows that Zhuang Mingxi's move is inappropriate, but there is no way to punish her, because she does not have this right yet.

Hate made her take advantage of this
