Chapter 817: Halliburton, who doesn't know whether to live or die
Niu Xiaoqiang asked, "Uncle Zhang, I don't know how much Smith purchased?"
According to him, he is going to purchase 200 units this time, with large oil extractors and small oil extractors accounting for half each. ”
Niu Xiaoqiang quickly calculated the total amount of this order, and said with a happy smile: "This is a big order of nearly four million US dollars, and I ask my uncle to help me make a lot of matchmaking, and there will be heavy thanks after the matter is completed." ”
Zhang Guangmao said with a smile: "You kid, don't say this kind of thing to me, I am the one who should be thanked, you have helped me so much, I am embarrassed to take your benefits? ”
Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and said: "Uncle is upright, he is indeed not a person who likes to accept benefits, when I return to China at the end of the year, I will invite you to have a meal, this should be no problem, right?"
"Of course it's okay to eat, but I have to treat you, Xiaolan called me the day before yesterday and said that you took great care of her, not only helped her pay off a large amount of debt, but also pulled her to earn a lot of money together, if it weren't for you, she would still be working to pay off her debts." ”
Zhang Guangmao said this: "In addition, there is also Liu Xue's study abroad, all of which were handled by you, and the expenses for her going abroad were also paid by you, so I am the one who should be thanked." ”
Zhang Guangmao's tone was very sincere, and he could hear that he was indeed sincerely grateful to Niu Xiaoqiang.
Niu Xiaoqiang smiled: "Uncle, we don't need to say these words between us, this seems too angry." ”
Zhang Guangmao snorted: "Then uncle won't be polite to you, now Xiaolan and Liu Xue are both studying in the United States, and you happen to be in the United States, uncle is cheeky and begs you to help me take care of them." ”
Niu Xiaoqiang readily agreed: "Uncle, don't worry, this matter is on me, I have a question I want to ask you, is there any movement on Halliburton's side?"
Zhang Guangmao snorted coldly when he heard this: "They started to make trouble last month, and all the things about the shaft sleeve connection repair technology were revealed, obviously targeting me, I responded according to the method you said, the current situation has generally stabilized, my personal reputation has not been damaged much, fortunately we have prepared in advance, otherwise I really can't bear the pressure of public opinion." ”
The repair technology of the bushing connection was stolen from the Jiangbei oil field by Halliburton, and although this technology was developed by Fang Dongping, the nominal owner was Zhang Guangmao. Haliburton's people made a big deal about it, and they definitely went to Zhang Guangmao. If there were no countermeasures planned by Niu Xiaoqiang in advance, it is estimated that Zhang Guangmao would have stepped down because of this incident.
As for why Halliburton targeted Zhang Guangmao, it must have been Moss's idea. He was rampant and domineering in the Jiangbei Oilfield, so he was scolded by Zhang Guangmao in front of him and directly asked him to get out. This is a very humiliating thing, and Moss obviously wants to take revenge on Zhang Guangmao and get back on the field.
"Uncle, you don't need to be angry with those villains, it's not worth it, let's continue to implement the established plan, as long as the double donkey-head oil extractor successfully enters the international market, then it will be Haliburton begging us." ”
Zhang Guangmao smiled happily: "That's for sure, Halliburton is still a little ignorant now, and when they really see the excellent performance of the double donkey-headed oil extractor, it is estimated that they will not be able to sit still, and at that time, I must let Moss's bastard step down! Don't be soft-hearted when the time comes, I will definitely come out of this tone." ”
Moss wanted Zhang Guangmao to step down, but he did not hesitate to use dirty means to stir up trouble and rain in the country, how could Zhang Guangmao swallow this breath? He now wants to return the color, no matter who can find fault with it.
"Don't worry, I'll help you do that. ”
"Uncle, thank you in advance, I'll go talk to Smith now, and try to help you complete this foreign trade order. ”
After hanging up the phone, Niu Xiaoqiang returned to the bedroom and continued to study on his own.
On the other side of the world, in China, Zhang Guangmao returned to his office and asked curiously at Smith and his translator sitting on the sofa: "Mr. Smith, why did you come here so early?"
Smith was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and when he saw Zhang Guangmao coming in, he hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, I don't know what I told you yesterday?"
With the help of an interpreter, there were no problems with the communication between the two.
Zhang Guangmao sighed: "Are you talking about procurement? I contacted the boss of the Asia Machinery Factory last night and helped you say a lot of good things, and the other party looked at my face and was willing to give you further concessions, but they also put forward a precondition. ”
The original booking was a 10 percent discount, or a 90% discount, which could save Smith hundreds of thousands of dollars in purchase costs. Smith knows China's economic situation, and at the same time, he also knows the huge profit margins of the oil extractor industry, and this guy feels that there is still room to continue to reduce prices.
Originally, he wanted to talk to Niu Xiaoqiang, but Niu Xiaoqiang had already gone abroad to study, and in desperation, Smith could only retreat and find his second old acquaintance Zhang Guangmao in China, and wanted to use Zhang Guangmao's relationship to fight for preferential treatment with Asia Machinery Factory.
After listening to Zhang Guangmao's reply, Smith immediately showed an expectant expression: "I don't know what the prerequisites they put forward are?"
Zhang Guangmao smiled and said: "It's actually very simple, Asia Machinery Factory hopes that you can sign a long-term strategic contract with them, in the future, all your oil extractors will be purchased from them, as long as you agree, they can give you another five percent of the preferential range, before and after the sum is equivalent to a discount of 15 percent, which is not a small amount." ”
Smith silently calculated it, and felt that this preferential margin was indeed very large, but he still had concerns about the conditions proposed by the Asian Machinery Factory.
I saw him frowning and said: "The rest is nothing, I'm just worried about whether the quality of the oil extractor is reliable, if it is not reliable, won't I lose a lot?"
It's no wonder that Smith questioned the quality of oil extractors, and in this era, almost all foreign businessmen had doubts about the quality of goods produced in China. Internationally, the image of goods produced in China has not been very good, light industrial products are slightly better, and heavy industrial products are completely synonymous with low-end and inferior.
Zhang Guangmao couldn't help laughing, and Smith looked at him with a puzzled face: "Mr. Zhang, what are you laughing at?"
Zhang Guangmao continued to laugh for a while before stopping, and then asked this question: "Mr. Smith, didn't you purchase 50 heavy trucks from the Asia Machinery Factory?
