Chapter 139
The next day, the fair kicked off vigorously.
The local media have come to cheer, after the head of the organizing committee cut the ribbon, loudly announced some exciting figures, nothing more than what the number of exhibitors, how much more than the previous fair, in addition to attracting the participation of some internationally renowned companies, etc., and then in a song of praise, officially launched!
At my orders, Reagan and a few of his entourage visited the booth directly under the name of Henkel's Chinese branch.
Real Wood Co., Ltd. is a traditional enterprise engaged in the manufacture and sales of machinery. In recent years, due to the sharp increase in the cost of local production, like many industrial enterprises, they have opened up their production locations to China, or directly purchased some raw materials and some semi-finished products in China, and shipped them back to the capital for processing, so as to save costs. The company's total assets are about $120 million. The scale is not very large, but it is also a small reputation in the industry, and it has invested in the development of a joint venture company in China, but the joint venture company occupies most of the shares, and has actually become a Chinese branch of a real wood company in disguise.
This time, Matsumoto, a deputy general manager of the headquarters, will lead the team to participate in the exhibition, and the person in charge of the Chinese joint venture company will lead the reception and accompaniment.
Regan's visit was warmly received by the real wood company, after all, Henkel is much bigger than them in terms of scale and fame - especially after Reagan deliberately revealed a little cooperation intention according to my instructions, and his enthusiasm was even higher.
At my behest, Reagan expressed his interest in one of the elevated carts produced by the real wood company for industrial production, and Matsumoto's eyes immediately lit up, and his enthusiasm for Reagan immediately increased tenfold.
In the next two days, Reagan and Matsumoto Shoshi's people contacted several more times, and after a series of negotiations, a preliminary cooperation intention was reached. The negotiations between the two sides were quite arduous, and the conditions proposed by Regan were very harsh, both in terms of quality and price, which made me breathless.
Every time I came back at night, Regan reported to me, and asked me in confusion: "Boss, we are lying to them anyway, why do you want me to put the conditions so harshly?" Anyway, it's fake, so why make it so complicated and troublesome? ”
I smiled faintly: "You don't understand." The more fake and deceptive things are, the more realistic they must be. The more demanding the conditions you put forward, the more it will appear that you are fighting for the best interests of your company, and that you are genuinely doing business with them, and they will not suspect you. On the contrary, if the conditions you propose are good and scary, then others will suspect your intentions - I am still quite delicate in doing things, how can I catch a big fish if I am not careful? I thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "When you talk to them tomorrow, lower the price by another 5%, and then grind with them at this price for three days, and then you pretend to let go after three days!" Remember, be sure to delay for three days! Drain all their patience and suspicion! ”
Looking at the grim expression and blazing gaze on my face, Regan sighed, "Boss, fortunately, I'm not your enemy. ”
Over the next two days, I deliberately walked through the trade fair and broke the news that Henkel was preparing to purchase a large number of industrial overhead trolleys. For a time, the company with this ability to produce this kind of product almost blew up the phone at the Henkel branch in Shanghai.
This immediately made Matsumoto of the real wood company fidget. Regan did my bidding, and suddenly offered to lower the price by 5%, which made them extremely uncomfortable.
Regan put on an uncle's posture in front of him, but when he came back to face me, he was puzzled: "Boss, is it too dangerous for you to do this?" What if they do give up? ”
I said coldly: "No, I am a very greedy nation, as long as there are interests, they will be like flies and can't get rid of them, in order to make profits, they will do whatever it takes to never give up, sometimes, even if you want them to exchange their wives, they are willing." This people, typically greedy and shameless. ”
I suddenly smiled: "If you are interested in the past two days, you might as well blackmail them fiercely...... You can make any excessive demands, they want to buy you the most now, and they will definitely find a way to meet your requests......" I smiled weirdly: "...... The girls in this book are very tasteful......"
Regan immediately flushed and ran away.
I watched Regan walk out, spun a pen in my hand around in my hand, and muttered to myself, "Almost, I should have sent that guy out, right?" Haven't they always liked to do this? ”
The next day, in the general manager's office of Henkel's Shanghai branch in China, I was discussing some company affairs with Reagan when the secretary came in and told us, "Someone from the real wood company has come and asked to see the general manager." ”
I smiled and asked, "Is it that old guy Matsumoto?" ”
The secretary was newly recruited by Regan and didn't know me, so he looked at Regan with an inquiring eye, and Regan nodded before replying, "No, it's not me." It's a young Chinese. ”
I laughed, "Okay, okay, he must be here." Let him in. ”
Regan immediately waved his hand to signal the secretary to go out, and then frowned: "Boss, what the hell are you up to?" ”
I smiled and said, "Mr. Regan, remember, from now on, you are the general manager of Henkel China, and I am just an assistant to you." You don't need to put on any show later, just remember that! Take my words to heart, bite our conditions, and never let go in front of them! ”
I pushed Regan into the boss's chair and sat down, while I stood next to him, hurriedly checking that I was okay.
At this time, the secretary opened the door and brought in a very personable young man who was probably not more than thirty years old.
Seeing this person come in, Regan raised his head and pretended to smile: "Hello, are you the representative of the real wood company?" Don't know what I can do for you? ”
The man was smiling and about to speak, when he suddenly saw me next to him, and his face immediately changed. Without waiting for him to speak, I pretended to be surprised and preemptively said, "Oh my God, Mr. Ye Wei, why are you here?" ”
