Chapter 289 The emperor's daughter is not worried about marrying
Mo Kongchao was really angry with Liu Shuo and Huang Yanling. Earlier, McClure said 100,000 sets per year, and Liu Shuo disagreed. Mo Kongchao was a little annoyed, and he was also afraid that McClure would leave. As a result,
McClure himself relented and raised the price to 150,000 units per year. In Mo Kongchao's view, this was the generosity of the foreign businessman, and Liu Shuo should be happy to accept it anyway, so that both parties could quickly sign a contract for a sum of 3,000
Multi-million dollar business was completed, what a great thing.
But who would have expected that McClure's concession did not satisfy Liu Shuo, and Huang Yanling jumped out again and said that agency rights could not be given to all of Europe, but only to four countries. Isn't this a blatant provocation?
As expected, the foreign businessmen became angry and did not want to cooperate with them. It is no wonder that foreign businessmen are also human beings, and everyone has a temper. The fact that foreign businessmen can tolerate it until this time shows it shows that they are well-educated and do not follow our rules.
People are generally well-informed. But what are our people like? If you are given a mallet, they will act like a needle. When people are polite, they will tighten their conditions. What kind of quality is this!
At that moment, Mo Kongchao even thought of conducting a professional ethics education for the city's private entrepreneurs in the future to improve their standards so as not to embarrass Quwu City in similar international exchanges and cooperation.
However, this was not the time for imagining. Mo Kongchao forcibly suppressed all the thoughts in his mind, turned around and said to Liu Shuo: "Director Liu, how can you treat foreign guests like this? No matter what
What should I say? We are guests from afar, so we can discuss anything. If you think the sales volume of 150,000 units per year proposed by Mr. Mike is not appropriate, then how much do you think is enough?"
Speaking of which, Mo Kong still maintained the sense of propriety that a deputy mayor should have. He did not force Liu Shuo to surrender to McClure. He just put on a mediation posture. He knew that Brother Ceramics Factory was
For a private enterprise, the government does not have direct management rights and cannot overstep its authority like it can command a state-owned enterprise. However, his tone and face have already stated the problem, that is, the leader is very angry, and the consequences will be serious.
Liu Shuo turned his head and looked at Huang Yanling. In front of McClure, Liu Shuo could not give a detailed explanation to Mo Kongchao, but he had to respond immediately. Huang Yanling hesitated for a moment and nodded hard.
Nodding, it meant that Liu Shuo must stand his ground.
Liu Shuo took a deep breath, turned to Mo Kongchao and said, "Mayor Mo, the figures proposed by the foreign guests are too different from our estimates of the market. We cannot agree to his conditions."
After that, he turned to McClure and said: "Mr. McClure, we asked professionals to calculate the sales volume of ceramic knives in Europe. The figures obtained are 500,000 to 1 million sets per year.
As the price drops and the concept becomes more popular, this number will further expand. You can only promise a sales volume of 150,000 units a year, which is far from our expectations. Can you please reconsider?"
McClure's eyes quickly scanned the faces of everyone in the room, then shrugged and said: "Sorry, Mr. Liu, there is a gap between our expectations and yours, so I think I'd better give up.
"
"Then please do it." Liu Shuo made a farewell gesture without showing any signs of weakness.
"This..." McClure was stunned. He didn't expect that the factory director in front of him would be so tough and didn't care what he, a foreign guest, thought. He actually dared not even give the mayor face. His harsh words had already been put aside.
After he came out, it was not appropriate to give in immediately. He looked at the set of ceramic knives spread out on the table and wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.
Liu Shuo saw what McClure meant, and he smiled and said: "Mr. McClure, the Chinese have a saying that business is not about human relationships. You can take this set of ceramic knives away, even if we
If the two parties cannot cooperate, you can take it back and cut the fruit. As for the conditions we just proposed, please think about it again. If you think our conditions are reasonable, we can continue to negotiate."
"Well, then I would like to thank Mr. Liu." McClure also hurriedly went down the steps, told Jolliffe to put away the ceramic knife, and then nodded politely to Liu Shuo before leaving the conference room.
Mo Kongchao took Liu Shuo and others to accompany McClure and Jolliff out of the office building, put them on the minibus, and ordered several officials to accompany them back to the hotel, while he stayed in the factory. Look.
As the minibus drove out of the factory, Mo Kongchao's forced smile suddenly disappeared. He glared at Liu Shuo and asked, "Director Liu, what do you mean? Do you feel like you have just been out of the country?"
Have you seen the world and don’t you take foreign businessmen seriously?”
"This... Mayor Mo, how about we go back to the conference room to talk. We will report to you in detail about some situations." Liu Shuo replied calmly.
The group returned to the conference room, and the office secretary came over to change tea for everyone. Liu Shuo personally brought Mo Kongchao's teacup in front of him and put it down, showing the fear and fear of a subordinate. Mo Kongchao's face turned slightly
He softened a little and said in a serious tone:
"Xiao Liu, Xiao Huang, it's not that I want to show off the power of the mayor in front of you. It's actually Lao Sha who repeatedly entrusted me before his death and asked me to care more about you. If it were another company, I would never get involved in this kind of business.
Whether you can negotiate specific business issues or not, I won't say anything."
"Yes, yes, Mayor Mo's concern for our brothers' ceramic factory is very clear to all the cadres and workers of our factory." Liu Shuo said, "However, today's matter is really not that we will not care about Mayor Mo.
You save face, but this foreign businessman is not sincere enough. If we accept his conditions, it will be a big loss for us."
"I don't understand. Why do you have to promise the other party annual sales volume? Think about it, they are selling things, and of course they are willing to sell as much as possible. Even if they only promise you a sales volume of 150,000 units, if they can
If they sell 1 million sets, they will definitely do this. What is the difference between commitment and non-commitment?" Mo Kongchao finally raised the question in his heart. It was precisely because he did not understand this that he asked Liu Shuohe
Huang Yanling was full of anger.
Liu Shuo looked at Huang Yanling and said, "Yanling, please explain this issue to Mayor Mo. I don't remember clearly when Director Qin told us."
"Okay." Huang Yanling nodded, and then said to Mo Kongchao: "Mayor Mo, this condition was requested by the founder of our Brothers Ceramics Factory, Director Qin Haiqin of Anhe Province. He said that our products are very
To be competitive, we need to find some powerful agents to represent sales. The strength of agents is reflected in the sales volume they can promise. If we hand over the agency rights for the entire Europe to this Ron company, and they
However, if we do not have the ability to distribute products throughout Europe, our products will not be able to achieve the expected sales results, which will affect the profits we deserve."
"Well... that's the truth." Mo Kongchao understood a little. What McClure wanted was the exclusive agency right. If his company didn't actually have such big capabilities, it would be a typical trap.
Shiting, of course, is a big loss for Brother Ceramics Factory.
"In addition, there is another situation. Ron Company itself has other substitute products. In order not to affect the sales of those substitute products, they may also deliberately seize our agency rights, then suppress our sales and provide for other products.
Eliminate competitors." Liu Shuo added another reason.
"This...isn't possible?" Mo Kongchao said this, but his heart began to waver. He thought for a while and said: "But, you contradict foreign businessmen like this. If they really leave, your wishful thinking
Wouldn't it be a failure? In my opinion, it is better to have a thousand rabbits in sight than to have one rabbit in hand. You first sign a contract for 150,000 units a year, which is a business volume of more than 30 million US dollars. Let alone Quwu, even in Quwu.
Linxi as a whole also has excellent foreign trade results."
Liu Shuodao: "Mayor Mo, don't worry. Our factory director Qin estimates that the annual sales volume in the European market can reach more than 500,000 units. In addition, there are the United States, Japan, and the Middle East, which add up to at least more than 1 million units. Then
It’s a business of more than 200 million yuan. Director Qin said that the market for ceramic knives is very large, and there will definitely be dealers who will be interested. Ron Company is just the beginning, and there will definitely be more agents coming to negotiate in the future.
, we can definitely wait a little longer and wait for the best conditions."
"Haha, you mean that since you are the emperor's daughter, you don't have to worry about getting married?"
Hearing that the sales could reach more than 200 million at most, Mo Kongchao's mood suddenly improved and he couldn't help but joke with Liu Shuo.
"By the way, what have you been saying about Factory Director Qin? What kind of person is he? Why do I think you admire him so much?" Mo Kongchao asked again.
When Mo Kongchao asked about Qin Hai, Liu Shuo and Huang Yanling became more energetic. They told Mo Kongchao about Qin Hai's deeds. When they heard that Qin Hai's thermal spray machine had just placed a deposit in Brazil,
When he received 20 million, Mo Kongchao's eyes widened.
Damn, you just got a deposit of 20 million US dollars from a foreigner with just one mouthful and a few pages of explanation. What kind of god is he! Why did such a talent end up in Anhe Province?
Didn't appear under his rule? Fortunately, Sha Renyuan didn't know what channel he got acquainted with such a great master, and at least he left a brother's ceramics factory to Qu Wu.
"Is this Qin Hai so capable? Why, he also designed the ceramic knife? Also, did he really say that this kind of ceramic knife can sell for 200 million U.S. dollars a year?" Mo Kongchao asked several questions in one go.
There is no longer any complaint about what Liu Shuo and the others did just now. If the conditions proposed by Liu Shuo and the others are what Qin Hai, who is extremely capable, might actually have some truth to them. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, novels are better
