Li Donglai contacted the comrades of the ministry and commission at that time and made his attitude clear.
The reason why Warren Buffett II of the Asli Group traveled thousands of miles to Beijing to visit the steel rolling mill laboratory was not because the floor of the steel rolling mill laboratory was clean, nor was it because the instruments on the experimental bench were neatly arranged, let alone
Because of the warm welcome signs inside the laboratory.
But because of the results in the laboratory, these results can make those people profitable.
They will be like jackals smelling meat and go through all kinds of hardships to get to the capital.
If their visit affects the normal research work of the laboratory and prevents scientific research results from being produced in a timely manner, then it would be putting the cart before the horse.
After hearing what Li Donglai said, the comrades in the ministry immediately expressed their intention to discuss it with their superiors.
Zhang Qingcui next to her didn't wake up until Li Donglai hung up the phone. She expressed her worries about Li Donglai in euphemistic language.
After all, the ministry is in charge of everything. Even if someone has opinions about the ministry, they will express their thoughts very tactfully, just like she is doing now.
How can anyone dare to give advice to the comrades of the ministry and commission so directly? What Li Donglai did just now is tantamount to slapping the comrades of the ministry and commission in the face.
After all, the ministries and commissions sent working groups after careful consideration.
Li Donglai told Zhang Qingcui not to worry. If the comrades in the ministries and commissions really did not know the difference between right and wrong, they would not be able to stay in their proper positions.
Zhang Qingcui didn't believe it at first, but a moment later, the office phone rang again.
The person who answered the phone this time was Zhang Qingcui. I heard the comrades from the ministry apologize to the steel rolling mill laboratory on the phone and said that they would withdraw the working group immediately.
Zhang Qingcui's heart was filled with admiration for Li Donglai and the comrades in the ministries and commissions.
In this world, it is easy to make mistakes and it is not difficult to correct them, but it is a little difficult for a person to admit his mistakes.
The leader of the working group quickly evacuated after receiving the phone call, and the steel rolling mill laboratory returned to its usual calm.
Even if the researchers in the laboratory knew that Buffett II was coming to visit today, they didn't say anything and continued to immerse themselves in experiments as usual.
This scene made Li Donglai a little depressed.
After all, Buffett II is also a guest, so the due etiquette must be followed, and this cooperation is a win-win situation.
Buffett II wants to make profits from the HexTech seasonings produced by the seasoning factory, and the steel rolling mill laboratory does not want to use Buffett II to enter the North American market and earn huge amounts of foreign exchange.
Seeing that none of the researchers were interested in welcoming a foreigner, Li Donglai had to interrupt the work of the two researchers, and together with Buffett and Zhang Qingcui, they formed a five-person welcoming group.
There were no colorful flags flying, no warm applause, and no firecrackers blasting.
There was only a greeting banner and five people greeting the group, and even two of them seemed not very happy.
The translator who accompanied Buffett II almost broke into a cold sweat when he saw this scene. He has been cooperating with Buffett II since Buffett II entered the country.
This foreigner's personality was as fierce as his appearance. When answering calls from North America, he often yelled at the phone and even broke the phone once.
"Mr. Buffett II, although today's welcome ceremony is simple, but..." the translator was trying to make up for it.
But he saw that Buffett II had already strode forward. He did not look at his cousin Buffett, but rushed directly to Li Donglai.
He stretched out his big hand and said enthusiastically: "You are the Nobel Prize winner, Professor Li Donglai, right? I have also heard of your name in North America. In newspapers and TV, you are called the Magic Boy of the East. It is indeed different when I see you today.
Fanxiang, it is my honor to meet you."
The translator was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. It turned out that this foreigner could speak Chinese. Although it was a bit lame, he could still be understood.
Li Donglai stretched out his hand and shook it tightly: "Mr. Buffett II, I have known you for a long time. Your Asli Group has now developed into one of the largest business groups in North America. It is inseparable from your leadership.
I heard that business newspapers in North America often praise you as a business wizard."
"Hahaha...thank you."
....
Two people who had never met before came together because of their common interests and became more affectionate than brothers.
However, this intimacy completely disappeared as the two of them sat at the conference table.
Buffett II was like a jackal, and he set a condition that was unacceptable to the steel rolling mill laboratory.
"Professor Li, I have tested the samples you sent, and I am shocked that you can make such delicious condiments. Once Hextech condiments are launched in North America, they will definitely become a must-have condiment bottle for every household. And
Who would say no to beef sauce that turns pork into beef?
And no one will refuse a drop of fragrance that can make the soup more delicious.
You are simply geniuses in the scientific research community.
but.
You know nothing about doing business.
The seasoning factory is located in the mainland, and the consumer market is in North America. The distance between them is more than 10,000 kilometers. Even if the most advanced and fastest freighters are used to transport the seasonings, it will take nearly a month and a half.
For businessmen, time is money. With this month and a half, we can already earn millions more, or even tens of millions of dollars.
and.
The situation at sea is complex. Even if there are fixed commercial routes, shipwrecks often occur. Once a cargo ship capsizes, it will be equivalent to losing all money.
So, I would like to ask you to open a factory in North America.
In order to show the sincerity of our Asli family, we will provide a land area of more than one thousand hectares for free to build a factory.
Moreover, we have a professional construction team that guarantees that the construction work can be completed within one month.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In order to make up for the loss of production suspension caused during the transportation process, our Asli Group will also provide an additional subsidy of 100 million US dollars.
And this batch of money has already arrived and is in the account of Standard Chartered Bank. As long as you agree to sign today, we will immediately notify Standard Chartered Bank to transfer the money.
"
After listening to Buffett II's words, the translator's face suddenly turned green.
Since the cooperation between the Rolling Mill Laboratory and the Asli Group is a cooperation between two business groups, the ministry does not want to get involved to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, no one was sent to participate in the negotiations at the scene, so the translator was equivalent to the representative of the ministry.
He knew very well that once the seasoning factory moved to North America, the connection with the country would inevitably be reduced. Although Li Donglai had a high ideological consciousness, who knew what changes would happen as time went by?
Several leaders in the laboratory also set their sights on Li Donglai. The chips offered by the Asli Group were quite generous, amounting to 100 million U.S. dollars, which was enough to buy tens of thousands of seasoning factories.
Li Donglai smiled, straightened up, and said with a smile: "Comrade Buffett II, please forgive me for calling you comrade. Your proposal is enough to show your sincerity, but have you thought about one question?
Will those in the Americas allow our seasoning factory to be located on their land?
Do you think Asli Group, as a large financial group in North America, can influence the minds of those people?
"
Buffett II's expression changed. He had considered this issue before, and he really felt that as long as the Asli Group tried its best to lobby, those people would turn a blind eye to the Orchid Laboratory's seasoning factory. Now he heard Li Donglai mention this
The question was raised again, and he felt a little guilty.
Li Donglai continued: "The seasoning factory is the seasoning factory of the steel rolling mill laboratory, and the steel rolling mill laboratory is from the mainland. This will never change. If you don't accept it, you can leave directly now!"
Buffett II did not expect Li Donglai to be so direct. In his impression, Easterners are always reserved and reserved. Even if they are dissatisfied, they will not speak out directly.
Very few people would explain their bottom line so clearly, let alone in such a negotiation meeting.
For a moment, Buffett II, who had done a lot of homework, was at a loss.
Before heading to the mainland this time, the elders within the Asli family had already given Buffett II the basic principles for negotiation.
That is to ask the Rolling Mill Laboratory to move the seasoning plant to North America. It is not that they value the seasoning plant, but they want to gradually get closer to the Rolling Mill Laboratory through the seasoning plant, and ultimately achieve the goal of taking over the Steel Rolling Plant Laboratory.
Each of the scientific research projects carried out by the Steel Rolling Mill Laboratory over the years is of great significance. Although the laboratory is not large in scale, it has already become a well-known laboratory in the world.
If there is a laboratory, the Asli family will be even more powerful.
Also, even the elders in the family want to invite Buffett back. In their view, although the child is disobedient, he has not made any serious mistakes and should not be left outside.
For various reasons, Buffett II offered such generous terms.
Only when faced with Li Donglai's ultimatum did he appear at a loss.
but.
After all, he was an old fox who had been involved in the business world for many years, and he quickly realized what he was doing.
He took two deep breaths and looked up at Li Donglai: "Professor Li, I deeply admire your courage, but courage is useless in the face of absolute strength. The seasonings produced by your seasoning factory are from our Asli family.
After careful analysis, the laboratory has found out the formula ratio, and can completely bypass you and produce it on its own, without having to cooperate with you at all."
Hearing this, the leaders in the steel rolling mill laboratory were shocked and their faces turned ugly.
The Asli family itself is a large conglomerate in North America. If they decide to 'copy' the products of Rolling Mill Laboratory, then even if Steel Rolling Mill Laboratory looks for another partner, the sales of seasonings will be affected.
Zhang Qingcui's nails even clenched into the palm of her hand. She wanted to pick up a stick and smash Buffett II's head in.
Buffett's face became very ugly.
He personally led the way in the cooperation between the Steel Rolling Mill Laboratory and the Asli family. He originally thought that the Asli family would not be so ruthless. This was a win-win cooperation.
Who would have thought that Buffett II would be so shameless.
"Buffett II, you..."
Buffett couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up and wanted to angrily scold Buffett II, but was interrupted by Li Donglai waving his hand.
Li Donglai picked up the enamel jar, took a sip of tea, then raised his head, looked at Buffett II lightly, and said with a smile: "You don't dare."
This sentence was not loud, but it was like a thunderbolt, ringing in Buffett II's ears, and his expression suddenly changed.
The elation just now was replaced by panic.
Buffett II squeezed out a tremor from his throat: "In business, you should know that the purpose of us businessmen is to make money, and we can only make money. We even dare to commit murder and arson, so why don't we dare to imitate your products?
.”
Li Donglai crossed his arms, leaned back on the chair, and said with a smile: "It's precisely because you want to make money that you don't dare. Because the rules about patents are not set by your Asli family, but by the whole world."
Thousands of business groups set this in order to safeguard their own interests."
"If you Asli Group dares to take the lead in breaking the rules, then we can legitimately copy any product in the world that we can copy, regardless of patent rights."
"We have workers and equipment, and our production costs are lower than yours. Without the protection of patent rights, you are no match for us."
"When the time comes, your Asli Group, as the instigator, will have to bear the pressure from business groups around the world."
"Do you think you are already that strong?"
When Buffett II heard this, his face turned ashen.
Yes, just as Li Donglai said, once the Asli family breaks the rules, the business groups in North America will launch an attack on the Asli family before the steel rolling mill laboratory launches a counterattack.
What he said about imitation just now was just to scare Li Donglai.
Seeing this, everyone in the conference room felt their hearts return to their stomachs.
Buffett glanced at Li Donglai in surprise. Even he, who had received business education since childhood, could not resolve the attack launched by Buffett II just now if he did not study it carefully.
Li Donglai not only solved the problem but also seemed very relaxed. Is he really just a scientist?
"Please change a glass of water."
Buffett II wiped the sweat from his forehead, adjusted his collar, and turned his attention to Li Donglai again.
"Comrade Li Donglai, please allow me to introduce myself again. I am Buffett II from Asli Group. Now please let us start negotiations again."
His tone was very relaxed, as if the unpleasant scene just now had never happened.
Li Donglai also seemed to have forgotten. He stood up, shook hands with Buffett II, and said with a smile: "Comrade Buffett II, welcome to your arrival."
In the subsequent negotiations, Buffett II never mentioned the relocation of the seasoning factory again. The two parties mainly conducted incentive negotiations on the profit sharing ratio of the sales of seasonings.
Negotiations continued into the evening, and the two sides did not reach an agreement.
