Chapter 1382: Strike!
Fenix's office is just upstairs from the reception room, an entire floor of his office, surprisingly large and luxuriously decorated, more extravagant than a five-star hotel.
Even the floors are covered with delicate Italian wool carpets, the walls are covered with all kinds of famous calligraphy and paintings, and the corridors are also full of antique objects.
Fenix's secretary led us all the way to Fenix's office and knocked on the office door.
It wasn't until Fenix's voice came from inside that the secretary opened the door for us and made a "please" gesture to us.
The moment the office door was opened, I was shocked, where is this office! It's simply where the emperor lived.
I was envious, even jealous.
I thought my office would be big enough, but when I met Fenix's office, I finally knew what it was.
Fenix was already sitting in the reception area waiting for us, and I took a deep breath and walked in with a steady foot.
Ruby followed me closely, and as he walked to the reception area, Fenix stood up, smiling calmly.
This is the first time I've met him, and it's really quite different from what I imagined.
I thought he would be a rich and bloated old man, or a rich man full of status.
But when I met him, I really didn't see that he was the chairman of Europe's largest trading group.
He was dressed very ordinarily, and he didn't look too old, I don't know if it was because foreigners didn't look old.
I heard An Lan say that this Fenix is already sixty years old, but I can't see it at all, he looks about forty years old.
And he was also very polite, took the initiative to stretch out his hand to me and said in Chinese with a smile: "Hello, Chen." ”
He doesn't speak Chinese very well, much worse than the rupee, but he can greet me in Chinese on his own soil, and that's respect for me.
Such a person also deserves my respect, and it is enough to prove the reason why he can make the company bigger.
I shook his hand and sat down on the sofa in the reception area.
I know we don't have much time, and I don't want to waste it on topics that don't make sense.
So, as soon as I sat down, I said, "Mr. Fei, I actually want to reach a consensus with you this time. ”
He listened to me patiently, didn't put up any show with me, and looked like an old friend just chatting.
At the same time, Ruby also translated what I said to him.
I continued: "It's the problem of Entu Trading reducing prices in the European market, and it really can't go on like this, and I can't bear it. If this continues, the losses of several of our parties will be quite large. ”
After hearing this, Phoenix was silent for a while, and then replied lightly: "Chen, Entu Trade lowered the price, it was they who advocated it, and I didn't force them to do it." ”
Of course, he spoke in English, which I could understand, but Rupee translated.
I nodded and said calmly: "I know, but Mr. Fei, you should understand that there is no point in doing this, it will only cause losses to all of us, including you." ”
I deliberately said the words "including you" very strongly, I just wanted him to understand the stakes.
But he smiled and said: "Chen, if you don't fight a price war for your Chinese goods, how can you operate in the European market, have you considered this problem?" ”
I can tell from his words that ginger is still old and spicy.
This sentence translates to that your Chinese goods are not good, and you can only sell them in the European market at a reduced price.
It's really like Ruby said, this Fenix looks crepe, but what a lion!
Of course, I was not in a hurry, and continued: "Mr. Fei, the products we send to Europe are the best products. ”
Fenix spread his hands and said, "We've been working with you all along, but do you know why? ”
Without waiting for me to answer, he asked himself and said, "We have a cooperative relationship because Anlan came to beg me, and because K. Wah Group has been kind to us, and I have to repay it...... If it weren't for the favor, I wouldn't have asked for your Chinese products. ”
What a point! I'm so embarrassed that I can't even say it.
Even the rupee didn't dare to translate for me, but luckily I could understand it myself.
I could only ease the awkward atmosphere with an awkward smile.
Fenix continued: "You should have all seen it in the reception room just now, and the traders waiting to see me there are traders from various countries, their products are much better than yours, and your products are too cheap. ”
I thought he was polite, but now that I'm young, he doesn't even think about my feelings.
Perhaps, in his opinion, my feelings are not worth mentioning at all.
Although I felt uncomfortable listening to these words, I still tried my best to control my emotions and asked with a smile: "Then Mr. Fei, I want to ask you, then why did you cooperate with Entu?" Could it be that their products are better than ours? ”
"They're cheap!"
Fenix completely left me speechless with a single sentence.
However, he continued: "Anyway, Chen, I still advise you to give up European trade as soon as possible...... Your goods are too bad compared to Japan, South Korea, and the United States. ”
After a pause, he continued: "You may think that I cooperated with them because of the price reduction of Entu Commerce, but in fact, no, my cooperation with Entu Commerce and Trade is also because of some other unavoidable reasons. ”
He stood up, looked at the time and continued: "Chen, you are an excellent person, I can tell you that if you blindly compete with cheap and reduced prices, then you will lose more money. ”
After speaking, he didn't give me a chance to answer at all, and then said, "Chen, our time is up, if you have any other questions, please come and talk to me next time." ”
As he spoke, he made a "please" gesture to me.
Immediately, his secretary entered the office with the next group of people who would meet him.
I felt very helpless, because since I entered the office, I haven't spoken to him for a few words, and how can twenty minutes be gone?
But I know their rules here, and I don't want to be a scoundrel, there is no point in continuing to rely here, but I will be looked down upon by other foreign businessmen.
I stood up, and I knew I had nothing more to talk about, but I had something else to ask him.
"Mr. Fei, I have one last thing I want to ask you."
Fenix gestured to the secretary at the door, then said to me, "Excuse me." ”
"You say that our Chinese products are very cheap, so I want to ask you, what are your outstanding products?"
After speaking, I was not convinced, and continued to add: "In addition, let me tell you one more thing, our Chinese products will definitely go to the world, and you will not be able to climb at that time." ”
After saying that, I left without looking back.
Ruby translated my last two sentences before leaving the office.
I don't know what Fenix's face was when I turned around and walked out of the office, maybe he didn't bother it.
However, I will definitely make him regret what he said to me today.
