Since this cooperation is related to the next development of the steel rolling mill laboratory, no matter how cautious it is, Li Donglai is not in a hurry.
But Buffett II never expected that the steel rolling mill laboratory would be so "smart".
Before coming to the mainland, he specially formed a think tank and conducted a detailed investigation and analysis of the situation in the mainland.
The final result is that mainlanders are generally more "down-to-earth" and have a good reputation. As long as you give them a thumbs up and say a few words "very, good" when you meet them, they will feel that they are respected and spiritually protected.
satisfy.
Then they will take the initiative to give up some of their material interests.
If we can cooperate with them to perform a few more scenes and do certain publicity activities for them, then they will be even more generous.
Before departure, Buffett II formulated a full set of strategies with the advice of his think tank. For example, he praised the Steel Rolling Mill Laboratory in front of the media for making a huge contribution to the world.
Another example is, in front of the camera, lower your posture and take the initiative to show your kindness to Li Donglai.
Who admits it.
After arriving in the mainland, Li Donglai didn't give him a chance at all.
There were no media reporters, and there was no grand welcome ceremony. The group was taken directly into the conference room and negotiations began.
And it's a real gun and a real sword. For every bit of profit, Li Donglai will pay every penny.
Buffett II suddenly felt that the person sitting across from him was not a scientist, but a street vendor.
This feeling made him very uncomfortable. If it had been before, he would have got up and left long ago, taking a plane overnight and running back to North America.
But those products of Hex Technology were like a piece of fatty braised pork, dangling in front of him, nailing his butt tightly to the chair.
When Li Donglai asked Buffett II to provide insurance for maritime transportation, Buffett II couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and smiled awkwardly.
"Director Li, I think today's negotiations will end here. I am tired from the journey and feel a little uncomfortable. I want to go back to the hotel to rest early."
Just kidding, he has given in seven or eight times in a row. If he continues like this, all the blood in his body will be sucked clean.
It is better to take advantage of the rest time to re-formulate negotiation strategies, so as to achieve the greatest benefits.
Li Donglai stood up and said with a warm smile: "Look, I was in such a hurry to negotiate that I actually forgot about this. I think we'll be here today."
Because of Buffett II's special status, comrades from ministries and commissions are responsible for the reception, and his accommodation is in a foreign-related hotel.
After seeing off Buffett II, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. However, Li Donglai did not get off work directly. Instead, he summoned Zhang Qingcui, Buffett and several veterans in the laboratory to conduct a comprehensive review of today's negotiation process.
Try to find out the bottom line of Buffett II.
This kind of large-scale negotiation is actually similar to buying clothes on the street. Both buyers and sellers have a bottom line. Whoever has better bargaining skills and can get closer to the bottom line will be able to obtain the greatest benefits.
In particular, this transaction may last for more than ten years in the future, and the annual profit is calculated in billions of dollars. Even if it can be a little "cheap", the future profits will be hundreds of millions of dollars, comparable to domestic cotton textiles.
The total profit earned from exports every year is up.
....
The other side.
It was time to get off work, and the workers who had worked hard all day also left the factory one after another and returned to the courtyard.
Ding Qiunan knew that Li Donglai was busy these two days, so after get off work, he rode his bicycle to Chaoyang Vegetable Market.
At this time, the fat in the vegetable market has been sold out, but Ding Qiunan's goal is not fat, but big bones.
Li Donglai likes to drink bone soup made from big bones the most, and even gave this kind of bone a name, called Tongzi bone.
Ding Qiunan found it a little funny. The big bones that almost no one wanted in the vegetable market became treasures when Li Dong came here.
But after she drank the kelp bone soup cooked by Li Donglai once, she changed her view.
Kelp bone soup is delicious, nutritious, fat but not greasy. The only drawback is that the cholesterol in the bone soup is relatively high, so it is not suitable for patients with high blood lipids and hypertension.
It's just...this shortcoming, in this era, doesn't seem to be a shortcoming at all.
Apart from the former Jia Zhang family, who in the courtyard suffers from hyperlipidemia?
Since then, Ding Qiunan often bought Li Donglai big bones to make soup.
I have dried kelp shipped from the south at home, so I only need to buy three to five kilograms of bone soup and some ginger.
Big bones are cheap and don’t require tickets. Ding Qiunan only spent less than three yuan in total.
Ding Qiunan hung the big bone on the handlebar of the bicycle and rode the bicycle back to the courtyard.
As soon as she walked to the door, she saw Huang Yanling standing at the door holding her waist and looking around. Behind her were Qin Huairu and Bang Gang.
Ding Qiunan frowned secretly. Ever since Huang Yanling married into the Jia family, she often spoke ill of her neighbors behind their backs. With such a big fight today, there must be trouble.
It's just that Li Donglai once told Ding Qiunan that she should be a transparent person in the courtyard and not get involved in the trivial matters in the courtyard.
Ding Qiunan seemed not to have seen Huang Yanling, pushing the bicycle towards the courtyard.
Huang Yanling's eyes lit up when she saw Ding Qiunan, and she came up to him with a smile: "Auntie, are you back?"
Auntie? Hearing this title, Ding Qiunan was a little confused for a moment.
Li Donglai is the eldest lady in the courtyard. As Li Donglai's wife, it seems there is no problem for her to be called the eldest mother.
but.
Aunt, aunt is what we usually call older lesbians. Ding Qiunan is only in her twenties now, so people in the compound usually call her Comrade Ding Qiunan, Donglai's family, Sister-in-law Qiunan, etc.
Huang Yanling was obviously mocking Ding Qiunan.
Qin Huairu next to her also realized this and secretly applauded Huang Yanling in her heart.
The job was really beautiful, especially since aunt is still an honorific title, Ding Qiunan couldn't get angry yet.
Huang Yanling is such a smart girl.
Qin Huairu was really happy to marry such an excellent daughter-in-law.
But the next second, she almost broke her guard.
Ding Qiunan didn't seem to be upset, and with a faint smile on his face, he stared at Huang Yanling and said: "He is from Banggeng's family. You respect me by calling me aunt, and I am happy for it.
However, please don’t call me that in the future, because I am just a member of the masses and I cannot afford to be a aunt.
"
Huang Yanling's lips curled up with a trace of teasing: "Li Donglai is the eldest son, you are his wife, and of course you are the eldest mother!"
"Brother Donglai is the first uncle. That's right. That's because the first uncle is a position established by the sub-district office and is collectively elected by the residents of the courtyard. What does the title "big mother" mean? Has it been approved by the sub-district office?
?Has it been elected by the residents?”
Ding Qiunan said coldly: "Without approval or election, you call others aunt without authorization. I think you have a strong feudal consciousness in your mind. There happens to be a study class held in our subdistrict office. I suggest you come and study
Study in class for a few days."
As soon as these words came out, Huang Yanling's face suddenly changed drastically, and she was unable to say a word.
Qin Huairu couldn't help but take a breath. Yes, the residents in the courtyard are accustomed to calling the wife of the first uncle as aunt. If it is taken seriously, there is indeed a problem with this kind of title.
Huang Yanling's originally very smart approach now looks extremely stupid.
Qin Huairu quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Doctor Ding, oops, my daughter-in-law is ignorant and offended you. I apologize to you here."
Qin Huairu's hypocritical apology was not what Ding Qiunan needed.
Besides, if a person is bitten by a dog, should he bite the dog again?
Ding Qiunan waved her hand and said: "Huang Yanling, I hope you can learn from this lesson and think clearly before speaking or doing anything in the future."
After saying that, Ding Qiunan pushed the bicycle into the courtyard.
Looking at Ding Qiunan's back, Huang Yanling was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
Ever since she married into the courtyard, she has been doing well and has never been so humiliated.
If it had been before, she would have cursed loudly by now.
but.
What Ding Qiunan said just now really scared her.
Huang Yanling could only suppress her anger in her heart.
At this time, Banggeng's face turned red from holding back, and she quickly stepped forward to persuade her: "Yanling, don't be angry. Ding Qiunan is not easy to mess with. This is not your fault."
"Go away! Useless man, why didn't you come forward when I was bullied just now? Now that he's gone, you're just here as an afterthought. I'm really unlucky for eighteen lifetimes by marrying you."
Bangge didn't expect that he had good intentions, but he was sprayed bloody. He could only stand aside with his hands folded.
In his heart, he hoped that Yan Jiecheng would come back quickly so that Huang Yanling could divert the firepower.
Unexpectedly, the three of them waited at the entrance of the courtyard for more than an hour, but still did not see Yan Jiecheng.
Qin Huairu looked into the distance and frowned: "Yan Jiecheng, did you go drinking with someone?"
Don't tell me, Qin Huairu really guessed it this time.
Although Yan Jiecheng was fined at the condiment factory, the money was paid by Yan Bugui. Of the thirty-five yuan he got from the Jia family, he only spent five or six yuan, leaving more than twenty yuan.
.
It's just that this time Yan Jiecheng invited someone to drink, not just for messing around, but to do something serious.
This time he hired a temporary worker from the logistics department of the textile factory named Niu Dazi.
This man was tall and thick, with a strong build, and his eyes were wide and round, like an angry bull.
Moreover, there are many pockmarks on his face, and his surname is Niu, so he got the nickname Niu Pockmark.
Although Niu Dazi is also a temporary worker and can only earn more than 20 yuan a month and does not have the benefits of a regular worker, the value of his temporary job is far greater than that of Yan Jiecheng.
The logistics department of the textile factory manages the material supply of the entire factory. In addition to ensuring the daily needs of workers, the most important responsibility is to transport production materials decentralized by ministries and commissions to various workshops.
Due to losses in production, the cloth delivered each time is rich, which gives those with bad intentions in the logistics department a certain amount of room to operate.
They will deliberately transport more cloth to the workshop, and then communicate with the workers in the workshop, so that the workers will deliberately produce substandard products during production.
In this way, those unqualified cloths will be transported to the scrap warehouse of the logistics department again.
Since it is a scrap warehouse, neither the supervision nor the inventory is very strict.
Niu DaZi carried the key with him. Taking advantage of the dark night and high wind, he sneaked into the scrap warehouse, secretly took the cloth out and took it to the pigeon market.
Although it is waste material, there will be some next time, but you just can't worry about making clothes in the mall. You don't need to pay so much attention to your own home use.
In addition, scrap cloth does not require cloth stamps, and the price is 20% lower than ordinary cloth, so it is very popular.
The money Niu Dazi earns from scrap cloth in a month far exceeds his salary.
Yan Jiecheng inherited Yan Bugui's shrewdness. When he entered the workshop, he realized that if he worked as a workshop worker honestly, he would be useless in his life.
So he made friends in the workshop, and because he was generous and liked to treat others to drinks, he soon became connected with Niu Dazi.
Knowing that Niu DaZi had a way to get rid of the waste cloth, Yan Jiecheng started to think about it and wanted to get a piece of the pie.
However, selling scrap cloth was almost like picking up money. In addition, Yan Jiecheng was just a temporary worker who had just joined the factory, so Niu Dazi ignored him at all.
It was only later that the workshop worker who had colluded with Niu Dazi became seriously ill and took several months of sick leave. Niu Dazi lost his insider information and had to reconsider Yan Jiecheng.
When Yan Jiecheng saw that Niu DaZi wanted to join him, he jumped up with excitement and immediately offered to treat Niu DaZi to a drink.
In order to show his sincerity, Yan Jiecheng decided to have a drink at the tavern.
The current tavern, through Xu Huizhen's efforts, has become a famous tavern in the capital. Even tourists from other places will choose to go to the tavern to taste Xu's old wine when they travel to the capital.
The two of them got off work, and it was only 5:30 in the afternoon, which is quite early, but when they entered the tavern, it was almost full of customers.
There was really no other way, Yan Jiecheng could only find a corner: "Brother Niu, this time it is my fault that I was negligent. When we get rich, I will definitely treat you to a table with Lao Mo."
"Brother Jie Cheng, you are too polite." He said that others were too polite, but Niu Dazi became rude. He walked to the counter and ordered four or five dishes in a row, including soy sauce beef, braised beef, and old-flavor beef.
Braised beef....the only vegetarian dish is a plate of peanuts.
Yan Jiecheng broke into a cold sweat at that time. At this time of year, beef in the capital was already relatively expensive. In addition, the tavern has now become a well-known tavern, and the prices of wine and food are also higher than those in ordinary hotels. Just these few plates of meat and dishes are estimated to cost at least seven
Eight dollars.
Before Yan Jiecheng could say anything, Niu Dazi became rude again and asked Xu Huizhen to bring over two pots of thirty-year-old wine.
Xu Huizhen saw that both of them were dressed as workers, and kindly reminded: "Boy, thirty-year-old wine is more expensive because it is older. A pot costs eight yuan, and once the wine is made, it cannot be returned.
