Volume 4 Chapter 93 Invincible
Seeing that Lin Hongfei was still tight-lipped after talking for so long, Taonuo Heinora was a little dissatisfied, stopped talking, and asked Lin Hongfei, "Lin, aren't you still satisfied with our ABB products? β
"Is it the most advanced in the world?" Lin Hongfei smiled slightly, "As far as I know, in a purchase a year ago, ABB lost to Siemens in terms of automated spraying equipment, and lost to Bosch in automatic stamping and welding technology. β
Taonuo Heinola's face was suddenly a little embarrassed and sneering, but what shocked him even more was that this was something that happened in Europe, when whether it was the winner Siemens, Bosch, or the loser ABB, they all kept silent about the inside story of the bidding meeting.
"In fact, a lot of things happened during that procurement......" Taonuo Heinuola's expression suddenly became very exciting, he sneered, and wanted to defend a few words, but when he saw Lin Hongfei's smiling face, he immediately chose to close his mouth tightly: Since the other party already knows what he wants to say, what else do you say?
Seeing that Taonuo Heinora finally closed his mouth, Lin Hongfei opened his mouth, "Mr. Heinaola, as the sincerity of cooperation, there is one thing I need to tell you, this time our company's procurement standard is to purchase cost-effective products as much as possible, I say so, do you understand?"
The so-called cost-effective, in fact, is just a good thing to say, in layman's terms, the procurement standard of Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is one: spend the least money to do the most things. At the same time, he also issued a subtle warning to Taonuo Heinola, if he thought that he could fool himself into being a big winner by apologizing casually after coming this time, then he was completely wrong.
Taono Heynola was slightly stunned, and then closed her mouth tightly.
Before coming. He did have that in mind. Even now, he didn't think there was anything wrong with his thoughts, and who wouldn't say those things, but how to say them was one thing, but how to do them was another.
Lin Hongfei saw Taonuo Heinola's disapproval, but he just smiled slightly and didn't care. If someone really thinks that they can fool themselves by saying just a few words, then he should give it a try.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
After several days of negotiations, the result was not satisfactory to Lin Hongfei, ABB insisted on the price, no matter how they negotiated, they just refused to lower the price. The reason is also very simple, there are only a few companies that can provide these products now, Lin Hongfei has no choice, they can only choose among these companies, but in this matter, several companies have reached a tacit understanding...... Lin Hongfei knew about this situation, but even if he was in a hurry, it would not help him solve this problem. Lin Hongfei thought that he could compete with multiple companies to lower his purchase price. But Siemens, Bosch and ABB and others naturally know that everyone should join forces to maximize the benefits.
in the conference room. The atmosphere is solemn, if according to the asking price of Bosch, Siemens and ABB, the final purchase price will be 50% higher than the previously scheduled price, even if the quotation of Mitsubishi and Atmosphere Society of Japan, it is 40% higher than the company's psychological price, for such a huge project, the purchase price is twice as high as the vast majority of enterprises can not afford.
"That's the situation," after briefly reporting the situation to the company's senior executives present, Lin Hongfei threw the folder in front of him and said with a solemn face, "Now, everyone can speak freely, and they can say whatever they want." β
"We ...... Can we purchase from the United States?" Lao Guo, the company's labor union, relied on his old qualifications and first opened his mouth, "Among these equipment suppliers, they are all Japanese and European, and none of them are American.
Everyone was looking at Lao Guo with the eyes of a fool: How strange does this person's idea have to be to be able to think like this?
"What's the matter? Is there anything wrong with what I said?" Seeing that everyone was looking at him, his eyes were a little strange, Lao Guo couldn't help but touch his nose and asked.
No one answered, time passed second by second, Lao Guo's face gradually began to become ugly, this kind of feeling that no one answered after he spoke, showing himself weak air, it was too embarrassing, Lao Guo couldn't wait to find a crack to get into for a while.
"Lao Guo, you don't know what to do, right?" Tang Yong broke the gloom in the air, "The Americans quoted us a price, but we rejected it directly. β
"Refused?" Lao Guo was a little stunned.
"65% higher. Tang Yong said softly.
Lao Guo was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get in...... It's so embarrassing! He finally understood why everyone looked at him for being so weird, and dared to love because of this.
Lao Guo is in his fifties, and he will retire in two years, and Hawthorne, who is the chairman of the company's labor union, is very open to many things, and knows that he is wrong, and immediately apologizes to everyone, "Comrades, I'm sorry, blame me......"
"Lao Guo's thoughts have given me some inspiration," Lin Hongfei suddenly interjected, and said thoughtfully, "Maybe American companies are really a good partner for us." β
"Huh?" Hearing Lin Hongfei's words, everyone was stunned: What does Mr. Lin mean by this?
"Chrysler!" Lin Hongfei said, facing everyone's puzzled eyes, "Some time ago, Chrysler Motors strongly asked to deepen cooperation with us, and I never agreed, but now it seems that cooperating with Chrysler is not necessarily a bad thing for us. β
Cooperate with Chrysler? The eyes of everyone participating in the meeting lit up slightly: yes, I have been so dizzy with dealing with damn Europeans these days that I have forgotten that there is such a way to save the country with such a curve, even if it is not good, I can use this matter to reduce the price, right?
None of the people present were stupid, they just fell into it and couldn't pull it out before, but now with Lin Hongfei's words, everyone immediately knew what they should do.
................................................
Within a few days, it was rumored that Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. was interested in establishing a more in-depth and The news of a wider cooperation began to circulate rapidly among the production equipment providers, and the major equipment suppliers suddenly panicked, yes, for the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., they do not have much room to choose, coupled with the social nature of the country, it is naturally destined that the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is a piece of meat on the chopping board, but if it is a Chrysler car, then the situation is completely different, which seems to be no difference, the equipment bought in the future are used by the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., but there are indeed differences, which are only subtle, not the people who are in it, do not understand at allγ
Similarly, the Chrysler cars that heard the news reacted quickly, and Li Iacocca, who had just felt that the noose around his neck was loose, called Lin Hongfei as soon as he knew the news, "Lin, I have heard some news recently, well, some news about our two companies. β
Even though he's trying to make his voice sound less urgent, there are some things you can't pretend to be avoided.
"Yes, I've heard some of that too. Lin Hongfei replied quietly, "I also feel strange about this news, Mr. Iacoca, is this news coming from your company?"
"Lin, don't you know what to do?" A sense of astonishment and disappointment suddenly appeared in Lee Iacoca's voice.
"I also just heard the news...... Lin Hongfei said this, and changed to a tone of sudden realization, "Mr. Iacoca, do I think you should give me an explanation?"
Give you an explanation? Lee Iacocca suddenly felt extremely ridiculous in his heart: I don't let you give me an explanation, it will give you face, and you actually ask me to give you an explanation? Let me give you an explanation? Why do you want me to give you an explanation?
But this thought existed in Lee Iacocca for less than two seconds before he was driven out of his own situation: although his cooperation with the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. gave him a precious respite inside Chrysler, the noose was still around his neck, and if Chrysler could not get Chrysler out of it quickly, or if Chrysler could see hope of getting out of it in the next year or two, the company's directors would not hesitate to replace someone who could do all this...... With Lee Iacocca's knowledge of Chrysler's directors, they had run out of patience with themselves, and if they could not come up with a quick countermeasure, they would immediately change them without hesitation.
He suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and immediately said to Lin Hongfei, "Lin, no matter who this news came from, don't you think it's a good idea?"
Lin Hongfei on the other end of the phone fell silent.
This situation made Li Iacoca, who was waiting on the other end of the phone, suddenly happy in his heart, and Lin Hongfei was silent, which means that he is thinking about this matter, and it is a good thing to be able to think about it, which is much better than refusing it directly without thinking about it.
After a full two minutes of silence, Lin Hongfei finally spoke, "Okay, in principle, I have no problem, but I need to sort out the general framework of cooperation between the two sides and our interests." β
