Chapter 706: Cooperation
Zhang Yuanfu calmly accepted Zhou Xuanying's cup of tea, tapped his fingers on the table, and waited until the tea was full, before he asked in a low voice: "I wonder if Chairman Zhou is interested in entering the Malay tea market?"
Rao is Zhou Xuanying's concentration is very good, after hearing this, the hand holding the teapot couldn't help but tremble, and exclaimed: "Boss Zhang, you ...... You mean......"
"That's right, I also want to enter the consumer goods market, the Malay tea market is quite large, and I also want a piece of the pie. Zhang Yuanfu said unabashedly, this is the biggest difference between overseas Chinese and Chinese people, when overseas Chinese do business, most of them go straight to the core and go straight to the core. And when Chinese people do business, even if they are straightforward, they will talk about him left and right first, and when the time is right, they will bring it up tactfully. Compared with overseas Chinese, Chinese people have more polite greetings, and they are also a little less profitable, although they are affected by the beating environment, it will inevitably give people the impression that Chinese businessmen are treacherous. Maybe Zhang Yuanfu is not used to this way of talking about business, so he has not entered the domestic market for a long time.
"What does Boss Zhang mean that we cooperate?"
Zhou Xuanying was interested, as the chairman of Daguan Group, she was in her position, so she naturally had to worry about the development of the group.
"Yes, I have a lot of hills in Malay, which are suitable for growing tea. We cooperate, you provide technology, I provide land, and the joint shares are fifty-fifty, what do you think?" Zhang Yuanfu said with a smile, his business can be so big, there are many unreasonable. Between the words, it is full of the flavor of a word, which is convincing.
"We'll talk about this divide, but how to make money?"
Zhou Xuanying was not carried away by the excitement, but said very calmly. "Boss Zhang, you also know that this tea is not just produced, it also needs to be sold through channels. If there are no channels, it will be difficult to open the market. With all due respect, Boss Zhang, although you are a business tycoon, this tea business is different from other businesses......"
Indeed, although Zhang Yuanfu's industry spans rubber, electronics, palm oil, construction and other industries, tea and his industry are incompatible. After all, Zhang Yuanfu's industries are almost all bulk commodities, like tea, which are similar to fast-moving consumer goods. Zhou Xuanying Bingxue is smart, why don't you know that Zhang Yuanfu proposed this cooperation for Tang Chen's sake?
Tang Chen also came back to his senses, after all, Zhou Xuanying and Zhang Yuanfu were separated from him, and Tang Chen heard their conversation.
"Boss Zhang, this is not good...... Tang Chen didn't want Zhang Yuanfu to lose money, this business was done for favors, and it would never last long.
Of course, Zhou Xuanying wants to enter the Malay tea market, and although Daguan tea has already entered the Malay market, it has always lingered outside the mainstream tea. You must know that Malay is a country with a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural fusion of Malays, Chinese, Indians and Europeans, and its cultural composition is similar, and the tea drinking habits are also diverse, such as black tea, green tea, oolong tea, Pu'er tea, flower tea, etc. In recent years, Malay tea planting and tea production are basically in a stable state, due to the vigorous promotion and promotion of the government and tea culture groups, the extension of the local tea industry and the development of tea culture has developed rapidly, in addition to the successful development of tea bags and tea powder, and the recent development of instant tea, iced tea, fruit tea and health tea, etc., in addition, also developed tea moon cakes, tea cakes, bak kut tea and other tea food, consumption is very common. At the same time, in Malay, which is rich in southern customs and banana wind and coconut rain, the atmosphere of tea culture is unprecedentedly high, and tea is moving towards the communication between people, cultural drinks and spiritual drinks on the solid basis of public life drinks and health drinks, and tea books, tea paintings, tea songs and dances are very popular, tea shops and tea houses can be seen everywhere, and the wind of drinking tea is very popular.
In the face of such a large market, but never being able to get a piece of the pie is something that all businessmen do not want to see. But the urgency of opening the Malay market can't blind Zhou Xuanying's eyes, because she knows that making tea is to deeply cultivate the channel, and no matter how good the product is, it can only rot in the warehouse.
"Let me tell you something, trace the Malay tea drinking trend back to the 17th century, when the Chinese in the Fujian and Guangdong regions of China migrated to Nanyang, and brought the tea drinking habit with them. In the twenties of the last century, Chinese tea was introduced to Malaysia. According to reports, at that time, during the period of large-scale mining of local tin mines, a large number of Chinese poured into Nanyang to work as tin miners to make a living, and then brought tea seeds from Fujian and Guangdong to Malaysia for planting to solve the drinking needs of hot weather and mining laborers. It is said that at that time, wherever there was tin mining, tea was cultivated. During this period, the ancestors of the newly arrived overseas Chinese fought hard and hard-working to fight the world with their bare hands, so the older generation of tea people, while drinking tea, also remembered the kindness of the ancestors, recalled the story behind the tea and the trees planted by the predecessors. However, with the decline of the tin mining industry, most of these tea plantations have ceased to exist, and it is difficult to see any traces of tea trees now. Later, the Malays also found it profitable to grow tea, and the main tea producing areas at this time were gradually concentrated in the Cameron region of western Malaysia. Since the nineties of the last century, the area of tea plantations has been maintained at more than 3,000 hectares.
With such a huge market, aren't you excited?" Zhang Yuanfu is like a bad grandfather who tempts children with candy, and like an old fox, he is not afraid that Zhou Xuan will not be able to enter the hub.
Zhou Xuanying suddenly smiled, although most of the people present were old men over half a hundred years old, they were still fascinated by her style: "Boss Zhang is a big business, and he is not afraid of tossing, but our Daguan Group can't toss like this." ”
Zhang Yuanfu understood, pondered for a while and said, "What if I have a sales channel?"
"That's a different story. Zhou Xuanying also didn't see rabbits and eagles, and immediately hit the snake and said on the stick. "I just don't know what Boss Zhang's sales channel is......"
"I also have a bit of face in the business world, and it is just a matter of a few phone calls to open channels. ”
This is where the confidence of the big boss lies, and their network of connections is unimaginable to ordinary people.
Zhou Xuanying also understands this, and she just wants Zhang Yuanfu to make this guarantee, so she dares to invest in it. Otherwise, Zhang Yuanfu is just playing at will, what should he do if he loses all his money when the time comes?
"Okay, I'll do this business!" Zhou Xuanying knew that even if she didn't accept this business, Zhang Yuanfu would find a tea merchant from Malaysia. The reason why Zhang Yuanfu asked her to cooperate was because of Tang Chen's face. If it weren't for Tang Chen in the middle, I'm afraid this business would have ended up in his family a long time ago.
"Happy cooperation!" Zhang Yuanfu stretched out his wrinkled hand.
Zhou Xuanying also stretched out her delicate hand, shook it symbolically, and said with a smile like a spring breeze in March: "Happy cooperation!"
"Boss Zhang is really fast-talking, I'll replace wine with tea, toast you!" Tang Chen saw that they had reached a verbal agreement, and he was also happy to enliven the atmosphere and have a harmonious relationship.
