Chapter 825 - Get You a Sports Car
Niu Xiaoqiang has paid Karina more than $30,000 for the patent search, which is enough to buy a high-end car in the United States.
Niu Xiaoqiang nodded and asked curiously, "Are you going to buy a used car or a new car?"
"I'm going to buy a new car, the kind that is slightly higher-grade, after all, I am the president of the company, and I still have to pay attention to my face, if I make it too shabby, I will be despised when I go out to negotiate. ”
Niu Xiaoqiang always thought that Americans would not pay attention to the so-called face, which is the patent of the Chinese. When he heard this, he was quite surprised: "Do Americans also pay attention to face?"
Karina shook her head: "I don't mean vanity, but show strength, if you ride a bicycle to negotiate a business with a customer for 10 million dollars, will the other party question your strength? ”
Niu Xiaoqiang sighed: "That's true, if you can overwhelm the other party from the momentum when talking about business, you can get twice the result with half the effort, if you are too shabby, you will be overwhelmed by the other party from the momentum, which is not very beneficial to the negotiation." ”
Niu Xiaoqiang said this, and got back to the point: "Have you thought about what kind of car you want to buy?"
Karina replied, "I'm going to buy a BMW, and now I have $35,000 in cash, which is enough money to buy a mid-level BMW." ”
Hearing the name BMW, Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help but think of the Williams he met when he participated in the Autumn Canton Fair last year.
Because Niu Xiaoqiang does not have the strength to cooperate with the other party now, he has never taken the initiative to contact Williams, and he doesn't know if the other party has changed his number.
Niu Xiaoqiang hesitated: "I heard that BMW belongs to a high-end car brand, do you really have enough money in your hands?"
Karina smiled: "When the time comes, I can buy a car in the name of the company and enjoy the tax exemption policy, so the money is still enough." ”
Niu Xiaoqiang thought for a while and said, "Why don't I give you a car, you don't have to pay for it personally." ”
Kailina glanced at Niu Xiaoqiang and asked very bluntly, "Do you want to take extra care of me again?"
Niu Xiaoqiang hurriedly shook his head: "You misunderstood, as the boss of the company, I should provide benefits to senior managers." ”
Karina seemed to accept this, and after a moment's thought, she proposed, "If you really want to provide benefits to my high-level executives, then it's better not to buy too high-end cars." ”
Niu Xiaoqiang was surprised: "Why?"
"Because too high-end cars generally have to be equipped with a special driver, the president of most companies will not personally drive a high-end car to negotiate business with people, unless ......"
"Unless what?"
"Unless the president drives a sports car, if it's a sports car, there's no concern about that. ”
Karina explained: "Don't get me wrong, I'm just stating a fact to you, and I don't mean to ask you to provide me with a sports car. ”
If it were other women, Niu Xiaoqiang would probably not believe such an explanation, but Karina is different, she is definitely not the kind of woman who uses her body to exchange her body for benefits.
Niu Xiaoqiang really wanted to take care of Karina, but he was worried that the other party would be dissatisfied because of this. After pondering for a moment, Niu Xiaoqiang thought of a compromise plan: "Otherwise, you pay 35,000 US dollars yourself, and the company will help you with the rest of the money, you go to buy a sports car, this car is still attached to the company's name, and it will belong to your personal use in the future, do you think it's okay?"
Kailina hesitated: "The company has just been established, is it inappropriate to spend money like this?"
Niu Xiaoqiang smiled: "You are the actual manager of the hunter company, and you are responsible for all the business of the company, as the boss, I should provide you with better treatment, besides, don't you want those former colleagues to see your current success?"
The last sentence played a key role, Karina's biggest characteristic is that she is too strong, recalling the scenes when she left her job, she felt that there was an irrepressible resentment churning in her heart.
After a little hesitation, Karina nodded: "Okay, I accept your proposal, but I also have my own principles, the company and I pay half of the money to buy the car, I don't want to take advantage of the company, if I don't have enough money in my hand, I will owe it for the time being, and I will deduct it directly when the salary is paid." ”
Niu Xiaoqiang snorted: "That's it, when the time comes, you can buy any sports car you want, as long as you like it, the company will pay for it." ”
Karina nodded and stopped talking, and when the car arrived at the airport, the two waited for George with handwritten signs at the exit gate.
At a quarter past ten, George walked out of the exit. He saw the sign in Niu Xiaoqiang's hand at a glance, walked up to Kailina with a smile, and introduced himself: "I am George of Texas Machinery, and Your Excellency is the president of Karina, right?"
George directly ignored Niu Xiaoqiang, no wonder he didn't pay attention to Niu Xiaoqiang, but Niu Xiaoqiang was too young and dressed very ordinarily, and he looked completely miscellaneous. Unlike Karina, she is very well-dressed and looks like a business elite.
Karina smiled and stretched out her right hand: "Hello Mr. George, I'm Karina, this is-"
Kailina originally wanted to introduce the identity of Niu Xiaoqiang's boss, but before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Niu Xiaoqiang: "Hello Mr. George, I am a technician from the hunter company, named Niu Xiaoqiang, and now studying at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, it is a pleasure to meet you." ”
Kailina looked at Niu Xiaoqiang suspiciously, not knowing why he forcibly lowered his identity from the boss to the technician.
Niu Xiaoqiang This is to increase the chances of success in the negotiation, if he says that he is the boss, George will definitely have an idea in his heart. At present, the Chinese are lagging behind Western countries in the field of technology, and if George knew that Niu Xiaoqiang, a Chinese, was the boss, he would definitely have doubts about the double donkey-head oil extractor.
Although the superiority of the double donkey-head oil extractor can still be proved afterwards, it will inevitably add unnecessary trouble to the negotiation process. As for why he reported the name of MIT, this was mainly to partially show his strength, so as not to make George look down on him.
In addition, the identity of MIT students is also very consistent with the image of the hunter company technician, which is the world's most powerful science and engineering university, and many large companies are rushing to recruit MIT students, and being able to become MIT students is a manifestation of strength in itself.
