Chapter 80: Shameless
Xu Yi immediately smiled and said: "I am really flattered to be able to be specially accepted by the Federation. However, President Ranko, I have only heard of the business federation, but I don't quite understand what the federation can do? For example, what rights can we enjoy after joining the federation, and what obligations do we need to fulfill?"
President Ranko laughed, waved his hand, and said, "President Xu, you don't have to be so nervous. In fact, our business federation just unites the larger chambers of commerce in Bonta City, and then everyone cooperates to develop, so that it will be much stronger than going it alone, do you agree with that?"
"Of course I agree. But President Lanke, what exactly is this so-called cooperative development?" Xu Yi asked.
"Specifically, the chambers of commerce that join the business federation must have close cooperative relations with each other, and do not engage in vicious competition, such as malicious price reduction, resource grabbing, etc. In addition, resources and information are shared, and members enjoy benefits to each other. For example, if you join the Chamber of Commerce, you can enjoy certain discounts when buying pig iron from the Falcao Chamber of Commerce. ”
President Morgan nodded slightly, "That's right." If President Xu, your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce also joins the Chamber of Commerce, our Falcao Chamber of Commerce can have a part of the discount on the price of pig iron sold by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and I can't give you a specific discount figure for the time being, but I can guarantee that it should be close to half percent. ”
"Bancheng?" Xu Yi couldn't help but smile.
In the past, when the Falcao Chamber of Commerce raised the price, it could increase the price by one percent in one go, but now the discount is only half percent.
Compared with the original selling price, it has still increased a lot.
After thinking about it, Xu Yi let go of this question, turned to President Lanke and asked, "This is considered resource sharing, but what about information sharing?"
"As for information sharing, it's a lot more complicated. President Ranko pondered for a moment, then pointed to a fat man sitting beside him with a rich face and a smile that was almost like the legendary Maitreya Buddha on the earth, and said: " As far as President Vincent's Armani Chamber of Commerce and my Saranque Chamber of Commerce are concerned, the Armani Chamber of Commerce is mainly engaged in the fabric business, and some of the high-end fabric business will intersect with the luxury business of our Salak Chamber of Commerce, so the Armani Chamber of Commerce will share information with our Saranque Chamber of Commerce, understand the needs of those high-end customers, and cooperate to produce precious clothing, jewelry and other accessories that can be coordinated. ”
Xu Yi nodded lightly: "I probably understand, in general, this can be regarded as resource sharing, but this resource is just customer information." ”
President Lan Ke laughed: "President Xu is really smart, no wonder the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can grow and develop in such a short period of time." ”
"President Ranko, you've won the prize. However, President Lanke, the products currently produced by our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are all magic machines, and the faces are ordinary individual customers, and there seems to be no resources to share. Of course, if you want to buy the products of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I can give you a discount that satisfies you. ”
President Xu smiled. President Ranko chuckled and shook his head. "The most valuable resource of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not the magic machinery that is produced, but the ......" Speaking of this, President Lan Ke paused, and said, "The technology needed to produce those magic machines. President Hee, do you understand what I mean?"
Xu Yi couldn't help but let out a sneer in his heart.
Of course, he understood what President Ranko meant.
According to President Lanke, the various chambers of commerce in the business federation want to share resources, and now he has set the technology of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to produce magic machinery as a resource, making it clear that he wants him to share these technologies.
Regarding President Ranke's idea, Xu also only has two words to comment.
Shameless!
That's right, it's shameless!
On the earth, what is the most important thing for an enterprise? Some people may say capital, some people will say talent, and some people will say management, but Xu Yi knows very well that for an enterprise, core technology is the most important thing.
As long as there is core technology, then the company has hope, whether it is funds or talents, can be found separately, only once the core technology is lost, that is the direct loss of the fundamental, from now on I am afraid that there is no hope of turning over.
Now this Lanke president actually asked Xu Yi to hand over the core technology of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for sharing as soon as he opened his mouth, if it is placed on the earth, it will be strange if it is not sprayed with blood.
Of course, this is the Sainz Continent, and Xu Yi currently doesn't have the capital to scold President Lanke for a bloody dog, so he just kept silent for the time being.
His gaze swept over the faces of President Ranko and the other five, and all Xu Yi could see from their faces was almost undisguised greed.
Xu Yi sneered again in his heart, although he had long known that today's banquet was not a good one, and these guys would not have any good intentions towards himself and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but he never expected that these people's faces would be so naked, and they would hardly even add any embellishment.
As the president of the business association, this Manhattan Ranko directly asked Xu Yi for the core technology, but I am afraid that this point has already reached a consensus among these people.
After thinking about it, Xu Yi was not very surprised.
Compared to these people, Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are a small shrimp, if they don't still have some scruples, they can't just swallow the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in one bite, where will they talk nonsense with him here.
Facing everyone's greedy and expectant eyes, Xu Yi said slowly: "President Lanke, may I ask what technologies you are referring to?"
President Lanke smiled: "This is up to you, President Xu, to consider for yourself." Of course, as the president of the business association, I have always adhered to the principle that the members of the association should share all their resources, so that everyone can grow together. President Xu, do you agree with me?"
Xu Yi couldn't help but curse shamelessly in his heart again.
The meaning of President Lanke's words is clearly that he wants Xu Yi to share all the technologies of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
If you really do what he said, with the Chamber of Commerce behind these guys far exceeding the manpower and material resources of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I am afraid that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will be easily crushed, and then there will be no scum left.
"I appreciate the view. But President Ranke, we are all businessmen, since we have given something, if we don't get something, it is really against the purpose of businessmen, you say?" Xu Yi said.
President Lanke immediately understood that Xu Yi had begun to talk about the conditions.
However, he was not surprised, but rejoiced.
I'm not afraid that Xu Yi will talk about the conditions, but I'm afraid that he won't talk about it.
If the talks collapse directly today, Xu Yi will turn around and leave, then because there is Viscount Leslie standing behind the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and he has some relationship with Baron Heinze, plus the city lord is also particularly concerned about the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, even if they want to attack the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, they are full of scruples.
Now Xu Yi has the intention of cooperating with them, as long as Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are brought in, with the ability of the few people here, it will not be a problem to divide the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce at all, and it can also be done so that Viscount Leslie and the city lord can not jump out of any problems.
"Of course. The purpose of the federation is to develop together, and the members share what they have and of course get something in return. For example, if President Xu can share the technologies of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, then I can say on behalf of the Saranke Chamber of Commerce that I will share all the jewelry information of our Saranke Chamber of Commerce with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and can also help the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce enter the jewelry industry, what do you think?"
Xu Yi could only sneer in his heart again.
Sharing information on jewelry veins, leading the way into the jewelry industry?
What are you kidding! The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has no foundation in the jewelry industry at all, even if it knows the information of the jewelry veins, what can it do? Those jewelry veins must be in the hands of the great nobles of the Lampari Kingdom, and if they don't have a strong relationship, they can't be mined at all!
As for leading into the jewelry industry, it is even more nonsense, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has no understanding of this industry, nor does it have any customer relationships, even if it can make jewelry, it will definitely not be able to sell.
President Ranke's words sounded good, but it was clear that he had dug a big hole for Xu Yi to jump.
"If you are willing to agree, President Xu, I will try my best to get the Chamber of Commerce to agree to reduce the price of pig iron sold by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce by one percent, so that the price is even cheaper than before, President Xu, what do you think?" President Morgan added.
These two people opened their mouths, and the remaining four people also opened their mouths, proposing a series of preferential conditions to Xu Yi, which can be described as a foolish thing.
However, Xu Yi remained silent until everyone finished speaking, then nodded slightly and smiled: "I have fully appreciated your sincerity. It's not a problem for me to share the technology to make magic machines......" Seeing the happy faces of these people, Xu Yi smiled and changed the conversation. "However, I don't think these conditions are very good, can you change them?"
President Lan Ke made a gesture of invitation to Xu Ye: "If President Xu has any other ideas, please feel free to bring them up." Everyone is a friend of the Federation, and it is easy to say anything. ”
"Alright, I've got a plan here, so please take a look at it. Xu Yi took out a copy of the text that he had prepared long ago from his arms and handed it to President Lanke.
Seeing the plan Xu Yi took out, everyone's faces changed slightly.
This kid turned out to be prepared!
President Ranke's face was slightly gloomy, and he took the plan and looked through it, but his face became more and more surprised.
When he finally finished reading it, the expression on his face had become extremely surprised, he raised his head and shook the plan in his hand, and asked Xu Yi, "President Xu, is this your true idea?"
Xu Yi shrugged: "It's that simple. ”
