[Everyone, my new book "Changing Face Samurai" has rushed to the second place on the new book list, everyone went over to help support it, I used to dislike the number of words in the new book was too small, and I wanted to save a little more to read again, but now I should be able to read it, hehe, there are already a lot of words. And I'm going to speed up the update recently! 】
[In addition, please smash the ticket that was originally given to Yu Wang in your hand to my new book, thank you very much! ] 】
`
The news brought by Sun Yanran surprised me a little.
Some time ago, I took advantage of my position as president of Henkel to win a lot of opportunities for my company, and helped my company establish business relations with Henkel and many other large European companies. At present, I have encountered a very good opportunity.
Bavarian Automotive Engine, the company that produces BMW cars, was ready to order a batch of auto parts from Henkel, and through my connections, Henkel gave the order for this batch of auto parts to Sun Yanran.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity – being able to supply the world's top car manufacturers with production parts is in itself a huge benefit.
The top car parts in Europe can be said to be expensive in terms of pricing, and this pricing is in accordance with European standards. The price of the European standard is much higher than the domestic price standard. Originally, according to common sense, this kind of order would not fall into the hands of a Chinese company like ours - although it is very frustrating to say this, but the fact is that the quality and grade of domestically produced auto parts products are much worse than those in Europe. Our only means of competition is price - our price is cheaper than others. So we can't occupy the market for high-end products, but we can occupy their low-end market through low-price dumping. And this time, I was very surprised that Henkel would actually purchase this batch of auto parts products in China.
Sun Yanran then explained, because since last year, the trend of international steel prices has intensified, and it seems that the international iron ore price has risen by 80%!! What is this concept? I don't need to say more about how important steel is, whether you build a car or a house, you need steel!! The rise in the price of steel has caused the cost of countless industries to increase sharply. This time, it is estimated that Europe is forced to stand the increasing costs, so it cannot resist the low prices of goods made in China, so it can only purchase from Chinese companies. And my company has this relationship with Henkel in it, so we got this cake first.
Being able to supply auto parts to Europe's top car manufacturers is enough for me to make a lot of money. After all, the domestic production cost is much cheaper than that of Europe!!
And beyond the directly earned benefits, the long-term benefits are endless.
First of all, China itself does not yet have its own real international top car brand. Most of our so-called high-end cars are joint venture brands. China's own car brands are more focused on the low-end market. At this time, if my company can provide auto parts to the top international car manufacturers, then it will become a potential gold signboard. Imagine, in the future, the auto parts used by BMW cars are produced by my company - as long as I make some articles on the publicity of some companies in the future, in the vacuum space where there is a general lack of high-end products in the domestic industry, I can immediately enhance a lot of popularity for my company!
Of course, this matter is definitely not that simple.
The first is that my production capacity is not up to the mark. The requirements of the German side are very high, and the requirements for the craftsmanship and quality of the products can almost be described as "picky". Although I believe that our efforts will bear fruit, when it comes to technology and equipment, the gap is objectively there!
And before signing the order, the other party asked to inspect the level of my production factory.
After Sun Yanran carefully explained the cause and effect, I thought for a full ten minutes, and then I sighed. I decided I had to get this piece of cake - because the prospect was so enticing. On the issue of the production capacity of the factory, I decided to go to the Zhejiang factory in person, and I needed to have a good talk with Lao Zhou.
I thought about it for a moment and let Sun Yanran go out first. Then I made a phone call to Chen Yuan.
After the phone was connected, I hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Thank you, old man." ”
"Thank me for what." Chen Yuan's tone was still very depressed, and it seemed that he still couldn't let go of the matter between me and her daughter.
I sighed, "Thank you for giving me this great gift!" ”
Chen Yuan didn't say anything, and snorted.
"Isn't it?" I smiled lightly: "I think about it, this order was obtained through Henkel, Henkel is now your world, without your instructions, my popularity as the 'former' president is not enough for them to be kind enough to give me this order." You know, it's a big cake! As long as Henkel bids openly in China, how many people will fight to the death! ”
Chen Yuan was silent for a while, and his tone seemed to be a little loose: "I'm not for you." ”
"I understand." I smiled wryly, and the mention of this topic seemed to make me a little unsure of what to say.
"You called me just to say a worthless thank you?" Chen Yuan said coldly.
I thought about it for a moment and decided to say it bluntly: "Old man, I still need some help from you. ”
"What?"
"Technology!" I simply said, "I need technical assistance!" I need some technicians, technical people from Germany! I'm willing to pay you the highest salary! And I'm just borrowing! ”
"I can transfer some people from some of the production sites in Germany, but the biggest problem you face is not people! It's equipment! And the funds! ”
"I know." I said lightly: "We have no shortage of people in China, and as long as it is good technology, we can learn it, so I need you to provide me with some technical personnel." I don't lack funds, but don't you have any equipment? ”
"Impossible." Chen Yuan refused: "You know, the automobile industry is very sensitive, some equipment is within the scope of the embargo, and the cost of buying a set of equipment from foreign imports through normal channels is too great, there are too many obstacles, and the procedures are too complicated." I can't help you at the moment...... I've gotten so much attention because of the acquisition of Henkel, and I'm in a bit of a delicate situation right now. ”
"Okay. Then I'll solve the equipment matter myself! I smiled and hung up.
I played with the paper cutter in my hand, thought for a moment, and then made a call to Sun Yanran.
"You help me plan a trip to Thailand, and the ticket and passport issues will be solved as soon as possible, everything must be fast!"
"What? You're going to have me on a business trip again? Sun Yanran was not happy: "You are simply an evil capitalist!" Seven has been complaining for a long time. ”
Damn, this girl is spoiled by seven and me, where can she talk to the boss like this......
I solemnly said, "It's not you, it's us!" You, me, Yang Wei and Seven. ”
"Are you crazy?" Sun Yanran made a fuss: "Your injury is not healed yet, you can't run around!" ”
"You don't care, just do it."
"No way!" Sun Yanran still didn't do it: "Your injury is not healed." And ......"
"And what?" I smiled wryly.
“…… And it's too hot in Thailand right now, and it will sunburn my skin! She looked cautious.
"Damn! Yanran, I'm your boss! "I almost threw the phone out.
"That's not going to work...... Or if I tell Sister Xing, I will say that you want to go out for a run if your legs are not good! ”
"Damn!"
I sighed and tried to say in the calmest tone: "Yanran, listen to me, this matter can't be told to Juju, Yang Wei will persuade you, but you can't tell Juju." Good no good? ”
"Not good."
I was angry for a while, thought for a long time, lowered my voice, and tried to make my voice sound full of temptation: "Then, now this business requires me to go to Thailand, and this trip can make us a lot of money...... When this thing succeeds, I'll reward you with a BMW, okay? ”
The person on the other end of the phone immediately replied very simply: "Okay! ”
Seeing that she answered so quickly, I was stunned for a moment: "You...... Didn't you just say that I hurt my leg and can't move? ”
"Cut!" Sun Yanran snickered in a low voice on the other end of the phone: "That's a BMW!" Compared to BMWs, what do you have to do with me......"
Do any subordinates talk to their bosses like that???
I simply ignored it and said, "One more thing." You buy me a better wheelchair. Now this wheelchair seat cushion is so hard that it hurts my butt. With that, I threw the phone away.
I didn't tell me that I was going to Thailand, and I knew that if I did, I would definitely not agree to let me go.
And convincing Yang Wei is much simpler, although at first she firmly objected to me going abroad with two injured legs at this time, but at my insistence she still agreed-Yang Wei and I are the same type of people, she understands that this matter means a lot to me, she should understand me, and I let her go with me, she can also be more at ease.
So one morning a few days later, Yang Wei and Sun Yanran and I quietly left Nanjing and boarded a plane to Thailand.
The reason why I insisted that I come in person is because I am prepared to take some evil path in this matter. And I think it's better for me to do these things by myself - if I just let Yang Wei go instead of me, or directly let Sun Yanran go over, I believe things can be done successfully. But I don't want my friends and lover to get too involved in this matter - it's a pool of muddy water, after all, and since it's a muddy water, I just want to do it myself.
Ten hours later, the four of us were already in Thailand's world-famous Batia Bay.
Dressed in beach shorts and a floral shirt with broken sleeves, I sat in a wheelchair and looked at the silver sand in front of me. As soon as I arrived in Thailand, I immediately proposed to go sightseeing first, and there was no objection to this proposal - I watched Yanran, who was dressed in cool clothes, and Seven, who was also wearing beach shorts, running on the beach, laughing happily. I could only smile wryly and glance back at Yang Wei who was sitting next to me.
"The weather is nice, and they seem to be having a good time." Yang Wei smiled faintly: "Honey, what are you looking at?" ”
I took Yang Wei's hand, held her hand gently, and sighed softly: "I was thinking, in the future, we may be able to buy a house here, and then we can come over for vacation every winter." We're going to be happy, aren't we? ”
Yang Wei grinned: "Who do you mean by 'we'?" ”
I glanced at her and said in a strange tone, "Do you still need to play dumb with me?" ”
Yang took a sip and couldn't help but say, "Shameless." Greedy enough, I want to ...... all of us" At this point, her face turned slightly red and she didn't continue.
I shook my head, sighed, and said softly, "I'm not shameless, and I'm not greedy. It's just ......" I thought for a moment and said with a smile: "It's just that I think in front of you, I don't have to hide myself, I don't have to hide my true thoughts." ”
I knocked on my forehead and said to myself, "Lovers are together, who doesn't want this kind of thing?" It's just that I've done it more thoroughly. Whether others scold me for being greedy, or scolding me for being shameless, I can't care about it anymore. It's just that I can't leave any of you, and I can't leave it! ”
Yang smiled and said, "That's good, when the injury on your leg is healed, you can go to Suzhou to pick up your chess wife." ”
"Hmm." I nodded and said, "The reason why I don't dare to take her back now is because I'm afraid that she will be sad to see that I am injured, and if she sees me in a wheelchair, I'm afraid I will shed tears again and lose a few pounds......"
"Cut!" Yang Wei's tone seemed to be a little sour, and he smiled: "I just know that you like Si Qi the most, and she is your 'wife'." I blushed, I knew that Yang Wei had been eavesdropping on me before, and at that time, as long as Si Qi and I were alone, I always called Si Qi "wife", and these words must have reached Yang Wei's ears.
My face turned red, and then I quickly took Yang Wei's hand, and said with a straight face: "How do you say this, how can I favor one over the other, Si Qi is my 'wife', but you are also my 'dear'." ”
"Yes! And Juju, she's still your 'child and mother'! Yang grinned slightly.
I shook my head, decided not to dwell on this topic with this woman, took her hand, pointed to the silver sand several kilometers in front of me, and said slowly: "What a beautiful beach." Don't you think the coastline of this country is so beautiful - like an undefended virgin? ”
"What did you say?? Virgin?? ”
Ignoring Yang Wei's eyes glaring at me, I rolled my eyes, winked at Yang Wei and continued to smile: "Don't you think this is simply a smuggling paradise - dear?" ”
