Chapter XIV Negotiations

"I'm happy that you can think like that. You're home! ”

"Mr. Puffre, come in for a coffee?"

"In the future, there is still something to do today! Fred will come over tomorrow at nine o'clock. ”

Watching the car leave, he handed the paper bag containing the clothes to Dawu, and sat on the sofa feeling physically and mentally exhausted. I think Fred will not be so tired, and I am so happy to have my relatives by my side! At this moment, I really miss my grandfather and home!

"Young master, why are you so tired?" Dawu said with a somewhat distressed look.

"It's nothing, help me boil some bath water."

After dinner, sit in the study and briefly sort out today's gains and losses. The problem is still a little bit different from the previous image, but fortunately, people pay attention to Fred, and they don't want to pay too much attention to themselves, and they don't have the ability to bring any harm to others if they have big problems, and there are serious warnings where they may be. Alas, I'm still in a hurry, and I'm off to a good start! Always chanting "be stable in advance", it seems that this mantra does not work very well.

Watching Dawu come in with coffee. said: "Let's drink together and talk about your situation today." ”

"Alas!" As he spoke, he took out a pen and paper and gestured.

"Grandpa and Grandpa telegraphed back, and the money was sent." After saying that, cross out one.

"I've got everything back." Another one was crossed out.

"The bedroom and attic are all tidied up, the study has not moved, the clothes have been sent to the laundry, I don't know if there are any useful things, I put them in the warehouse next to the bedroom." Another one was crossed out.

looked at Dawu, who was dependent on each other in Germany, and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, did you miss it when you took the receipt!" ”

"No, young master."

"Remember, clean up the living room after breakfast, Fred comes here, you prepare tea and coffee, and listen to it too." Looking at Dawu's recording speed, he slowed down and continued: "The second thing, remember to receive the money and send a telegram back to your grandfather and grandfather, just say that the money is returned, and the rest is enough to return to China." The third thing is to deposit the money in the bank first, install a telephone, and pay the telephone bill for up to half a year. ”

"Dawu, do you usually have Chinese contacts in Germany?"

"Nope. We live here, and I don't see that there are other Chinese. ”

"Know where to live in Berlin?"

"There seem to be some over there at the school, and the last place where we bought guns is a little further west, and we live more."

"Well, when you have time in the future, where to go, make friends with them, get to know them, what are you doing? What do you live on, and do you have any plans to return to China! ”

Seeing that Dawu was stunned, he knew that he couldn't figure out the situation for this young master who had no heart and lungs and suddenly pondered. He smiled and said, "I'll teach you sign language, look good, 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9." I demonstrated it a few times, watched Dawu gradually become proficient, and said, "Practice more, to reach a very proficient level, and don't let others know." When you go down, take those five drawings to the fireplace and burn them clean, and put more than 100 marks in the wallet in my bedroom. ”

Put the parts in the bookcase, the silencer device is not in a hurry, or the sabre and sapper shovel drawings are processed. Calm down and draw a saber drawing. Looking at the drawn drawings, there are 2 kinds of long and short ones that can match firearms, one is special, plus 2 kinds of soft parts such as scabbards, grinding stones, leather and canvas, there are 25 drawings; Thinking about the sapper shovel drawings may be more, it will take time!

The Germans were really on time, and as soon as they arrived at 9 o'clock, they heard the sound of cars and went out with Dawu.

Fred put on the business suit again, and brought a female assistant, a decent sky blue professional suit, with a beautiful lady hat, a smile and charming eyes, the age is not easy to guess, steady, mature, generous, every move can be decently interpreted to the end, the momentum is compelling, people dare not underestimate it.

"Ms. Shalot, my father's secretary; Li Fangwu, my classmate. ”

"Hello Ms. Salotte, welcome."

"Hello Mr. Li! Charlotte Foigt"

"Just call me something, ma'am."

After taking a seat, I drank coffee and chatted a few words. I looked at Charlotte with an inquiring look.

"Today, I'm the text secretary, in charge of the manuscript." Charlotte replied.

"Haha, Fang Wu, your opponent today is me."

"Fred, are you sure it's the opponent?"

"Of course!"

"Ready? I'm going to punch! ”

"Of course."

Before he could finish speaking, my fist was already on the tip of his nose. Fred was stunned, and Sallotte looked at me with her mouth covered in surprise.

I shrugged my shoulders and innocently said to Shalot, "Ms. Shalotte, I've been asking him if he's ready, if I hadn't closed my punches quickly, you'd have had more fake nose Fred." ”

"Fang Wu, we are negotiation opponents, not boxing opponents!" Fred reacted angrily.

"Oh, Ms. Shalot, you have to testify, when did Fred talk about negotiations?"

"Fred, you have a nice friend!" Charlotte said with a smile.

I watched Fred listen to Shalot's words thoughtfully. He said: "We can't learn the abilities of Lady Shalotte, even if we use all the time we used to play, we can't learn from Lady, you have to learn from your father." Of course, we still have to learn some business knowledge from Ms. Shalotte. There are no negotiations, no opponents today. ”

"If you don't negotiate, if you don't be an opponent, then what will I do?" Seeing that Ms. Charlotte nodded at me, I had to patiently explain.

"Fred, although you are smart, ahem, you are a little more than me."

Ahem, why did you mention the word smart? "In business, I have a little more experience than you. You know that I was brought up by my grandfather, and I often followed him to teahouses and taverns to meet his business friends, and most of the business was finished during meals and drinks. "I guess his father must have a similar arrangement in this regard, so he won't talk much.

Taking a sip of coffee with Charlotte, she continued: "The business climate in the West may be very different from that in China, especially some of the business rules and unspoken rules. The core things are basically the same, I didn't do anything but play in Germany, and you can ask Ms. Salotte about Western business. I'll briefly talk about China, and you can learn a little bit from it. The profits of enterprises come from the outside of the enterprise, so the external relations of enterprises are particularly important.

There are roughly three categories, one is the cooperative relationship, you and I are the closest form, and the enterprise that helps us make parts belongs to the cooperative relationship, in short, it is to communicate with each other. It's a competitive relationship, which mainly occurs between peers, after all, the market is so big, if you eat one more piece of chocolate, I have to have one less. Competition is divided into benign and vicious, relying on one's own excellent products, reasonable prices, thoughtful service, and eating a little more is benign, relying on slander and other means of competition is vicious, and the result of the continued development of vicious competition is the opponent. ”

Looking at Fred, who was thinking, he said to Sallotte, "Ms. Shalotte, will you be arranged to come to us for guidance in the future?" ”

"Mr. Schmidt has no specific arrangements, there is something to do, Fang Wu can come to me!"

"Then thank you, ma'am!"

"The method of cooperative relationship is generally called consultation and negotiation in China, and the purpose is to reach cooperation; In the case of competitive relations, the method used when there is a conflict is called negotiation, and the purpose is to prevent the conflict from expanding or getting out of control; Opponent relationship, the means are to do everything, there is a referee in the boxing ring, and if there is a referee on the ground, it will be over, and there is no referee in the commercial field, it is necessary to die. If you have the opportunity to ask Ms. Shalotte to tell you some stories, you will be thrilled. ”

Seeing that Fred was a little deflated, he felt a little deep for him, so he said: "Ms. Shalotte and your brother and sister are all elites cultivated by the school, you and I are not. Your father raised you differently than your older sisters, but in a similar way to my grandfather. Do you think about why your father wants you to inherit his business instead of your brother or sister? ”

"Why? Because I can play? ”

Speechless, it is to let you think first, not to ask first. Looking at Charlotte was also an inquiring look.

I had to answer: "It's worthy of being my friend, it's just smart, and I answered it right!" ”
