Chapter 676 BASF
Yang Fei's face remained unchanged, thinking to himself what was going on?
The meeting started for a long time, and they suddenly came?
Xiang Qiao said again: "Boss, I'll ask them to sit in the next room."
Yang Fei nodded: "I'll meet them."
He waved to Wei Xinyuan, and when he came over, he said, "Mr. Wei, I'll go out for a while, and I'll leave it to you for the responsibility."
Wei Xinyuan nodded in agreement.
Yang Fei came to the lounge next door and saw more than a dozen people sitting inside, most of whom were foreigners, so he was stunned.
Xiang Qiaozhang first introduced: "Everyone, this is the boss of our beauty group, Mr. Yang Fei and Yang."
The people who were sitting stood up one after another and smiled. A tall foreigner said, "Hello, Boss Yang, we are late, fortunately we didn't miss the supplier conference of your beautiful group."
He spoke in stiff Chinese, and his tone was all out of shape, but fortunately Yang Fei understood it.
A gentle white-faced man said: "Mr. Yang, this is Dr. Heideman, senior vice president of the global business department of our BASF. He came from Germany to participate in your supplier conference. Due to the time difference, Heideman's secretary made the meeting wrong, so he came late. Please don't be surprised by Mr. Yang."
Yang Fei smiled: "Welcome Mr. Heidman!"
Heidman's Chinese seems to be very limited. The words he said before were probably taught by others. He just smiled slightly and said in English: "Okay."
But he always had a smile on his face, expressing his friendship and kindness. He spoke a lot in English and spoke very quickly, like a gun turned off.
The white-faced man translated: "Our headquarters attaches great importance to strategic cooperation with Meili Group. In the past two years, both of us have been very happy. The scale of raw materials purchased by our company has increased from millions to hundreds of millions. This is a great breakthrough, indicating that Meili Group is a great company and we are willing to reach long-term cooperation intentions with you. I wonder if we missed the most exciting part in today's meeting?"
Yang Fei could understand Heidman's words, but he did not interrupt the translation of the white-faced man. After listening politely, he said in fluent English: "No, you are here at the right time. We contacted you many times before, but none of them were in contact. I thought you would not come to our supplier conference."
Heidman heard this and said, "It was me who told them that I had to attend the supplier conference of Meili Group in person. Therefore, they did not dare to come without authorization until I arrived. Our chemical raw materials prospects in Asia-Pacific, especially in Greater China, are very promising. This is a huge market, but there has always been a lack of a locomotive for an industry. I believe that Meili Group, which is growing, has great potential to become such a leading company."
Yang Fei laughed and said, "Mr. Heidman, you are too complimenting. Please take a seat at the venue. We are having a meeting."
Heidman stretched out his big hand, shook Yang Fei, and walked towards the venue.
In addition to the BASF company's staff, there are also several raw material suppliers from foreign-funded enterprises, who have also sent representatives to come one after another.
What surprised Yang Fei was that all the representatives they sent were bosses at the company's vice president or above, and they all came from foreign headquarters.
Su Tong had previously worried that these foreign suppliers looked down on Meili Group.
Now I finally understand that they just attached too much importance to it and were late.
With the arrival of a group of top 500 foreign suppliers, the atmosphere in the venue became more and more lively.
Before, Yang Fei said something that he wanted to reduce the supply price of 20% of the raw materials. Everyone found it incredible. The people in the venue were discussing it and did not reply.
In some companies, if the bosses themselves were not present, the bosses present called for instructions.
After the arrival of foreign companies, Yang Fei stood on the podium again, reiterated the importance of raw material supply, and once again mentioned that only raw material suppliers who provide the lowest price can become strategic partners of Meili Group.
After hearing the translator's words, Heidman immediately raised his hand and said, "We at BASF are willing to reach a strategic partner intention with the Beauty Group. All raw materials will be reduced by 20% on the original basis!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the audience was in an uproar.
Yang Fei did not expect that BASF would be the first company to stand up and support it.
The cooperation between Beautiful Group and BASF has always been an ordinary relationship between suppliers and manufacturers.
Yang Fei did not deliberately contact BASF senior management.
At today's meeting, Yang Fei once thought that the other party would not come to attend.
As a result, BASF not only sent a considerable vice president, but also was the first to stand up to support Yang Fei's price cut proposal.
After Heidman finished speaking, he turned around and said to others: "Only when the production companies make money, our raw material merchants can continue to make money. Meili Group is a company worthy of support. In the past two years, they have paid attention to honest operation and timely settlement. The most important thing is that their performance has been improved by ten times or a hundred times. Our suppliers should support such companies so that they can occupy a larger market. The more market share they have, the better our business will be."
Su Tong smiled gently: "Yang Fei, this foreigner is very interesting, so I'm helping us speak nice things!"
Yang Fei said: "They have experienced such negotiations and know that 20% of the price reduction is our bottom line and the purpose of our negotiations."
Su Tong said: "It's so strange, why does BASF support us so much?"
Yang Fei didn't know if there was any major change in the world's daily chemical industry, but it is worthy of happiness and pride that such a powerful company can spare no effort to support him, so he didn't think much about it.
Heidmann expressed his opinion on behalf of BASF, and the attitudes of other manufacturers have changed greatly.
BASF is the world's largest supplier of chemical raw materials, and they can provide almost all chemical raw materials.
Therefore, as long as BASF agrees to Yang Fei’s request, even if other manufacturers do not agree, the raw materials required by Yang Fei can still be obtained from BASF.
However, BASF's raw materials have always been known for their quality and cost. Many of the raw materials of the Meili Group are not purchased from BASF.
Moreover, it is not a good thing for Meili Group to hand over the lifeblood of raw materials to a company to control.
Therefore, Yang Fei needs more companies to join the suppliers.
What made Yang Fei happy was that after Heidman made a statement, many manufacturers expressed their views, expressing their acceptance of Yang Fei's request and willing to carry out more in-depth cooperation with Meili Group.
While there was a meeting here, Jiang Wanxia came to Yang Fei and said, "My classmates abroad told me that BASF had just had a falling out with Procter & Gamble, and the specific reason was unknown."
Yang Fei smiled and said, "I just said that BASF could not be so good to us for no reason. At this critical moment, it is extremely beneficial for us to have a falling out between the two families!"
Jiang Wanxia whispered: "Boss, if there is no fraud in it, that's of course it's great. What if this is P&G's plan?"
Yang Fei was shocked and looked at her and said, "What did you say?"
