After Shi Lei hung up the phone, he smiled and said to Mu Shuang next to him: "Mu Shuang, the representative of Patriot Company, invited us to lunch!"
Mu Shuang's face was calm, and it was hard to tell what she was thinking. "Shi Lei, the strength of Patriot Company is a bit too weak compared to Leica and Kodak!"
William, who was standing next to him, said in blunt Xia Mandarin: "Miss Mu is right! In the camera industry, Patriot is just a toddler and is not a competitor to our Leica company at all!"
Shi Lei, Ling Yumo and Mu Shuang all looked at William in surprise. They didn't expect that William could actually know Xia Mandarin!
Fortunately, they didn't tell any secrets in Xia Guoyu just now. Otherwise, their trump card would have been revealed!
"William, I didn't expect that you can actually speak Xia Mandarin!" Shi Lei glanced at this Chinese man from Zhi, but he was also a pig pretending to be a tiger. He obviously knew Xia Mandarin, but he didn't speak it.
William did not look embarrassed at all, and said calmly: "I once took Xia Mandarin as an elective in college, and I can speak part of it. Shi Lei, are you planning to negotiate with Patriot Company? I don't know, can I participate?"
His request was a bit rude!
Shi Lei was about to refuse, but Mu Shuang said first: "Mr. Ludwig, since you are participating first, let's participate together!"
"Huh?" Shi Lei turned around and looked at Mu Shuang with a questioning look in his eyes.
Mu Shuang nodded with a confident look on her face, making Shi Lei involuntarily trust her.
In the lobby of Cuihu Hotel, a man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a sturdy build, who looked to be in his prime in his thirties, looked around. Next to him stood an old man, a young man, and two men wearing glasses. The old man
One looks to be in his fifties, and the younger one is only in his twenties.
When Shi Lei and William walked out of the elevator together, the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes just glanced at them and continued to look at the door.
Shi Lei could tell at a glance that these three guys should be representatives of Patriot Company.
"Brother Zhong?" Shi Lei shouted tentatively with a smile.
The man in his thirties with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a sturdy build is none other than Zhong Muyuan!
Zhong Muyuan looked at Shi Lei with a pair of big eyes and an incredible look, and said hesitantly: "Brother Shi Lei?"
"Hello, Brother Zhong!" Shi Lei stretched out his right hand, signaling for both parties to shake hands.
Zhong Muyuan said boldly: "Brother Shi Lei, I didn't expect you to be so young! It's really amazing, amazing! Let's have a meal together first, and then we'll talk about the smile detection program!" Zhong Muyuan photographed
Holding hands, looking impatient.
"Wait a minute, Brother Zhong, let me introduce you!" Shi Lei stopped Zhong Muyuan and introduced everyone around him to Zhong Muyuan one by one.
Zhong Muyuan looked at William and Conrad nervously. He did not expect that these two foreigners were actually from the famous Lycra company!
The Leica camera is a legend and an honor in the camera industry around the world!
"Hello, Mr. Ludwig, Mr. Conard!" Zhong Muyuan said in Xia Mandarin.
William spoke, also in Xia Mandarin: "Hello, Mr. Zhong!" After speaking, William translated for Conrad in German.
"Mr. Zhong, I heard that your Patriot Company is also interested in smile detection. I wonder if you would mind if we have a meal with Shi Lei?" William asked directly, without the slightest hint of consciousness or shyness.
Zhong Muyuan actually wanted to say that he minded, very much, very, very much. However, people can't help themselves in the world. Although he was extremely unhappy in his heart, Zhong Muyuan still had to invite with a smile on his face: "Being able to travel with the Lycra company
It’s definitely a pleasure to have lunch together!”
William smiled and said, "It is also a very pleasant thing to be invited by Patriot Company!"
The three parties entered the private room reserved by Patriot Company and divided into three groups. Shi Lei and the two beauties sat together, the two people from Lycra Company sat together, and the three people from Patriot Company sat together.
The revolving table was already filled with a variety of dishes, as well as two bottles of Wuliangye with a high height. Zhong Muyuan first asked: "Mr. Ludwig, I have always heard that every man in the Will Country has a good
Drinking capacity, I wonder what your drinking capacity is?"
Zhong Muyuan seems to be a big boss, but he is not! Otherwise, how could he be the executive deputy general manager of Patriot Company? How could he own 17% of the shares of Patriot Company? His words, on the surface,
I thought I was praising the men from the Kingdom of Will, but I was actually setting a trap for William. Men from the Kingdom of Will all have a good capacity for drinking. If William replies that he doesn’t have a good capacity for drinking, wouldn’t that mean that he is admitting that he is not a man?
There was a smile in the eyes of Mu Shuang and Ling Yumo. Shi Lei did not intervene. He knew very well how much alcohol he had!
With just a small sip of Wuliangye at such a high level, Shi Lei would crawl under the table!
William looked at the high-altitude Wuliangye and was slightly surprised, but his drinking capacity was really good, so he said: "Mr. Zhong, you are right, none of the men in our country have a bad drinking capacity!"
Zhong Muyuan said boldly: "That's great, Mr. Ludwig, let's have a good drink today! Waiter, open the wine!"
The waiter standing on the side quickly opened the two bottles of Wuliangye with a certain height, and then poured a full glass for Zhong Muyuan and Ludwig respectively!
William glanced at Shi Lei outside the battle, turned his eyes and said: "Shi Lei, you just said that your drinking capacity is very good, why don't we compare it now?"
Shi Lei shook his head repeatedly, "William, I like the beer of your country, Munich, rather than the high-altitude liquor of our country. You should drink it yourself!"
Zhong Muyuan helped on the side: "Mr. Ludwig, don't look for help, we are one-on-one!" After that, Zhong Muyuan said to the young man next to him: "Geng Jin, you and Mr. Conard communicate, after all
You are all technicians in the camera industry, try to learn some advanced technology from Leica!" After finishing speaking, Zhong Muyuan burst out laughing. Everyone knew that the last sentence was a joke.
Geng Jin nodded and said: "Mr. Zhong, don't worry, I will definitely accompany Mr. Conrad!"
At the wine table, people from Lycra Company and Patriot Company were fighting with each other. Shi Lei and the other three were watching the excitement!
It took nearly three hours to eat a meal, Wuliangye, which was at a temperature of 52 degrees, and I drank four bottles of it! After all, Zhong Muyuan, William, Conrad, and the young man named Geng Jin each drank one bottle.
!
Looking at William and Zhong Muyuan, who were drunk and confused, Shi Lei shook his head slightly, drinking would make things worse!
"William, Brother Zhong, it seems that our negotiations will be postponed until tomorrow!"
Zhong Muyuan was seventy or eighty percent drunk, but he still had a hint of sobriety and said: "Brother Shi Lei... no need... tomorrow, today we... will continue talking! It took a lot of effort... to get drunk... guys from Lycra Company, we
...We can’t let them get the upper hand!”
William was only seven or eighty percent drunk. After hearing Zhong Muyuan's words, William snorted coldly: "Mr. Zhong, you are a little too insidious!"
Zhong Muyuan looked at William and laughed loudly: "What does it mean to be insidious? The shopping mall is like a battlefield, and soldiers never tire of deceit! Mr. Ludwig, you haven't mastered the Xia culture yet! Lao Xiao,
Wait a moment...You are solely responsible for the negotiation with Brother Shi Lei!"
Lao Xiao is the old man who looks to be in his fifties. He is also a technical staff member of Patriot Company.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhong, I will definitely reach an agreement with Mr. Shi Lei and promote cooperation between us!" Lao Xiao said in a calm tone.
Zhong Muyuan burped, "Okay! Then I'll... feel relieved!"
William looked at Zhong Muyuan coldly, cursing this cunning Xia native in his heart, "Shi Lei, our Lycra company agrees to your price, let's sign a contract!"
Zhong Muyuan's eyes suddenly opened, and he looked at William with his big eyes, "You... hum!"
Shi Lei said with a smile: "No problem, William, let's sign a contract! However, our smile detection program is not sold exclusively. In other words, after selling it to you, we may still sell it to Patriot Company!"
William shook his head vigorously, "This... Shi Lei, we cannot accept this condition! Our Lycra company needs exclusive purchase rights. After you sell Lycra to us, you cannot sell it to other companies!"
"No!" Shi Lei refused without thinking, "If we sell it exclusively to your Lycra company, wouldn't that mean that you, Lycra, have also bought out the patent rights in our hands?"
William sobered up a little from his drunkenness and said, "Shi Lei, if it weren't for the exclusive buyout right, our final bottom line would only be five hundred thousand US dollars!"
Shi Lei looked at Mu Shuang, who nodded slightly. This price has reached Shi Lei's bottom line, and it is not an exclusive sale. It can also be sold to Patriot, Kodak, and Canon!
"Okay! No problem!" Shi Lei nodded in agreement.
By this time, Zhong Muyuan had sobered up a little from his drunkenness, and he quickly said: "Brother Shi Lei, where are our Patriots? You can't forget our Patriot Company!"
Shi Lei tilted his head, "Brother Zhong, talk to Mu Shuang, she is our plenipotentiary representative!"
Mu Shuang snorted at Shi Lei, saying that she was the plenipotentiary. Didn't Shi Lei repeatedly intervene in price issues?
"Mr. Zhong, if your Patriot company also wants to purchase the smile detection program, our price is two million US dollars!" Mu Shuangshi asked for the price with his mouth wide open.
Zhong Muyuan said unhappily: "Ms. Mu, I thought I heard just now that Lycra Company only spent half a million US dollars, right? Why did our Patriot Company need two million US dollars? Is it because we are not as well-known as Lycra Company? Or is it because of the other party?
Is it a foreign-invested enterprise from a country of will?”
Mu Shuang shook her head, "None of them!"
Zhong Muyuan was anxious, "Then you can't bully your own people, right?"
