Chapter 21: A Roundabout (3)
One night in '91, a master negotiator in the United States received a phone call at home, saying that his brother in the Kuwait Oil Company was taken hostage by the Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, and he wanted to hire him as a negotiator, saying that he was willing to redeem his brother no matter how much he spent. The master negotiator told the other party that he would be able to save his brother without paying a penny of ransom.
He contacted a well-known CBS reporter and asked if he would accompany him on a trip to Baghdad to negotiate with Saddam Hussein, and if he wished, give him exclusive access to the interview. It was a great opportunity for reporters to be happy at a time when the U.S.-Iran was in the midst of a fierce war, but the CBS editor-in-chief did not approve of reporters taking the plunge into the battlefield.
So this master negotiator came up with a second plan: interviewing Saddam Hussein in Jordan, Iraq's neighboring country. As a result, Saddam chattered into the television for two hours before releasing the hostages, which was the only hostage released by Saddam Hussein during that period.
This is the charm of negotiation, when you accurately grasp the other party's demands, then you will win the biggest victory with the least cost.
Nie Peng's feeling at the moment was like this, when Ah Si Likang's team walked into the conference room, he just invited Chen Zhong to go to the door for a private chat for 5 minutes, and when he came back, he was already full of smiles.
Chen Zhong, who came in with him, also walked back to his seat with a relaxed face and whispered a few words to the person in charge of the negotiation who came with him. The subsequent negotiations went smoothly like wholesale cabbage in the market, and whenever the negotiations stalled, Chen Zhong would almost analyze them from the perspective of the end. It can even be said that he is helping Duan Xing to ask for a price.
In this way, as the negotiator of Ah Silikang, he was not able to pay attention to him, and took the opportunity of the break to ask him about the direction of the negotiation in private.
"On the basis of a slight surplus, be sure to talk about it." Chen Zhong said this with a smile.
This was already a great hint, and until he turned around and walked back to the conference room, the negotiators didn't understand from the confusion, and even wondered if someone was pretending to be Chen Zhong. So the offer was in the competition between the two parties, and gradually moved closer to Nie Peng's psychological price.
In the end, under the agreement between the two parties, the offer of 700,000 euros/gram was stayed, and with Chen Zhong's acquiescence, Aslikang signed an agreement for immediate payment. This means that once Aslimeca confirms receipt of the qualified product, the payment must be completed within a natural week, otherwise the bank has the right to withdraw the product or unilaterally terminate the agreement.
This can be regarded as a standardized contract in large-amount trading behavior, and if there is no strong trading platform, then it can only be said that the two sides are closely connected to the upstream and downstream of the value chain, one wins, and the other loses. When the agreement was written and the two sides stood up and shook hands, Nie Peng, Chen Tuan, Chen Panpan, and Di Jiaying all had a dreamlike illusion. But what really suffocated a few people was Chen Peng's reply when Chen Zhong asked Nie Peng when he could buy the first batch of finished products.
"As long as the funds are available, they can be at any time." As he spoke, he took out a thermos cup from his briefcase, unscrewed it, and took out a small glass bottle soaked in dry ice and placed it on the table.
"Here's a 200 milligram intermediate, you can take it home and test it."
As soon as Nie Peng's words fell, everyone's eyes followed the coffee-colored glass bottle, for fear that it would disappear in the blink of an eye. Just one bottle, one million. And in the thermos cup that Nie Peng took out just now, there was obviously more than one bottle.
At this moment, Chen Tuan couldn't find a suitable adjective, looked at the small bottle on the table, and then looked at Nie Peng, as if he saw the boss and merchants who went to the building materials market to trade river sand:
"Boss, how do you sell fine sand?"
"One side is forty, this is a sample, take it for inspection, and deliver it to your door if it can be used"
。。。。。。 Who would dare to trade 5.5 million grams of intermediates like this? Thinking of the thermos cup that he used to make tea on Nie Peng's desk a few days ago, and he loaded tens of millions of things at this time, Chen Tuan felt that his view of money had been fed to the dog over the years.
And Di Jiaying, who was the main force of the negotiation on the side, was also dumbfounded at this time, good guy, this person just gave people one hundred thousand things? I think I have worked hard in Hong Kong for 5 years, and I have earned just enough money to buy 1 gram of intermediates from him, why do I feel like I am a failure.
。。。。。。。。。。。。
When Aslikang's team stepped into the airport, the four of them finally breathed a sigh of relief. On the way back, Chen Tuan told his cousin and Di Jiaying about the remuneration, but the two refused, Chen Panpan's reason for refusal was that he took this opportunity to gain a lot of knowledge, and it should be regarded as a commemoration of stepping into the business world, so he only needed Chen Tuan's 1 yuan as a future conversation.
However, Di Jiaying made an alternative request: she didn't take any of the assistance this time, but then she had to stay in the end to work until she received the news that Asilicon confirmed the curative effect.
couldn't stand Chen Panpan's forced gaze, Di Jiaying finally explained her purpose: she thought that Ah Si Likang would make a breakthrough in Sanin syndrome this time, and she understood that this was the best time to speculate, and she wanted to wait for the first-hand news to be established, and make a short-term investment.
This made several people in the car interested, and they all inquired about specific investment plans, Di Jiaying did not hide it, and told everyone her investment plan from beginning to end, and after a while, several people were fascinated. Nie Peng even thought that if he didn't urgently need a sum of money to expand the moon base, then the money he put in his hand would not be impossible to participate in.
Then I thought that judging from the current excavation progress, it is enough to leave enough 1 million in my hand for the time being, and the rest of the money can be entrusted to Di Jiaying to operate. Speaking of the base, but there has been no construction for a few days, remembering the sourness after digging the cave for one night, Nie Peng even has some expectations.
After returning home, after setting up the mobile phone to record incoming calls, Nie Peng carried the rock drill and gasoline barrels, and went to the moon again, after two days of cultivation, the remaining four culture tanks have finished their work, and the mutants have also been made into intermediates by him one by one and stored in the dry freezer.
A full 83 grams of intermediates. If calculated at the current price, this is 58 million euros, but Nie Peng knows that once Sanin syndrome can be successfully cured and the experimental subjects become Alzheimer's disease patients, these intermediates will be worthless, and at that time, the foam block he left Chen Zhong is the real cash cow.
