Fenix's office is just above the reception room. This entire floor is his office. It is surprisingly large and extremely luxuriously decorated, even more luxurious than a five-star hotel.
Even the floor is paved with exquisite Italian wool carpets, various famous calligraphy and paintings are hung on the walls, and various antique toys are placed in the corridor.
Fenix's secretary led us all the way to Fenix's office, and then knocked on the office door.
It wasn't until Fenix's voice came from inside that the secretary opened the door for us and made a "please" gesture to us.
The moment the office door was opened, I was shocked. Where was this office? It was simply the place where the emperor lived.
I was envious, even jealous.
I thought my office was grand enough, but when I saw Fenix's office, I finally understood what a small dwarfed by a big witch is.
Fenix was already sitting in the reception area waiting for us. I took a deep breath and walked in calmly.
Ruby followed me closely, and when we walked to the reception area, Fenix stood up with a calm smile on his face.
This was my first time meeting him, and to be honest, it was quite different from what I imagined.
I thought he would be a rich and bloated old man, or a rich man who showed off his status.
But when I met him, I really couldn't tell that he was the chairman of Europe's largest trading group.
He was dressed very ordinary, and he didn't look too old. I don't know if it was because foreigners didn't look old.
I heard An Lan say that Fenix is already sixty years old, but you can't tell at all. He looks about forty years old.
And he was very polite. He reached out to me and said in Chinese with a smile: "Hello, Chen."
His Chinese is not very good, much worse than Rupee, but he can greet me in Chinese in his own land, which is a sign of respect for me.
Such a person deserves my respect, and it is enough to prove why he can make the company bigger.
I shook hands with him and then sat down on the sofa in the reception area.
I know we don't have much time, and I don't want to waste it on meaningless topics.
So, as soon as I sat down, I said: "Mr. Fei, I actually want to reach a consensus with you this time."
He listened to me patiently and didn't put on any airs with me. He looked like an old friend just chatting with me.
At the same time, Ruby also translated what I said to him.
I continued: "This is the problem of Entu Trading's price reduction in the European market. We really can't continue like this. We can't bear it. If we continue like this, we will suffer huge losses."
Fenix was silent for a while after hearing this, and then replied calmly: "Chen, it is their initiative to reduce the price of Entu Trading. I did not force them to do it."
Of course he spoke in English, which I could understand, but Ruby still translated.
I nodded and said calmly: "I know, but Mr. Fei, you should understand that doing this is meaningless and will only cause losses to all of us, including you."
I deliberately said the words "including you" very forcefully, I just hope he can understand the pros and cons.
But he smiled and said: "Chen, how can your Chinese products operate in the European market without a price war? Have you considered this issue?"
I can tell from his words that ginger is still spicy when it comes to age.
The translation of this sentence is that your Chinese products are not good, so you can only sell them in the European market at a reduced price.
It's true what Ruby said, this Fenix looks like a formal person, but he is really a lion!
Of course I was not in a hurry and continued: "Mr. Fei, the products we send to Europe are all the best."
Fenix spread his hands and said: "We have indeed been cooperating with you, but do you know why?"
Before I could answer, he asked and answered his own question: "We have a cooperative relationship because An Lan came to ask me, because Jiahua Group has been kind to our ym, and I have to repay the favor. If it weren't for the sake of favor, I wouldn't do it."
Your Chinese products.”
These words hit the nail on the head! It made me feel ashamed.
Even Lu Lu didn't dare to translate for me, but fortunately I could understand it myself.
But I could only ease the awkward atmosphere with an awkward smile.
Fenix continued: "You should have seen it in the reception room just now. The people waiting to see me there are traders from various countries. Their products are much better than yours, and your products are too cheap.
."
I really thought this guy was quite polite, but now it seems that I'm young and he simply doesn't consider my feelings.
Maybe, in his opinion, my feelings are not worth mentioning at all.
Although I felt very sad after hearing these words, I still tried my best to control my emotions and asked with a smile: "Well, Mr. Fei, I want to ask you, why do you cooperate with Entu? Is it that their products are better than ours?"
Okay?"
“Their stuff is so cheap!”
Fenix's words left me completely speechless.
But he continued: "In short, Chen, I still advise you to give up trade in Europe as soon as possible. Your goods are too inferior compared with Japan, South Korea and the United States."
After a pause, he continued: "You may think that I cooperate with Entu Trading because of their price reduction. In fact, it is not the case. My cooperation with Entu Trading is also due to some other unavoidable reasons."
He stood up, looked at the time and continued: "Chen, you are an excellent person. I can tell you that if you blindly compete with low prices and price cuts, you will lose more money."
After saying that, he didn't give me a chance to answer at all, and then said: "Chen, our time is up. If you have other questions, please come and talk to me next time."
As he said that, he made a "please" gesture to me.
Immediately, his secretary led the next group of people to meet him into the office.
I feel very helpless, because from the time I entered the office to now, I haven't said a few words to him. How come twenty minutes are gone?
But I know the rules here, and I don’t want to be a rogue. There is no point in continuing to stay here. Instead, I will be looked down upon by other foreign businessmen.
I stood up, knowing that there was nothing left to talk about, but I still had something to ask him.
"Mr. Fei, I have one last thing to ask you."
Fenix raised his hand to signal to the secretary at the door, and then said to me, "Excuse me."
"You said that our Chinese products are very cheap, so I want to ask you, what outstanding products do you have?"
After saying that, I was not convinced and continued to add: "Also, let me tell you one more thing, our Chinese products will definitely go global, and by then you will be beyond your reach."
After saying that, I left without looking back.
And Ruby actually translated my last two sentences before leaving the office.
I don't know what Fenix's expression was when I turned around and walked out of the office. Maybe he didn't take a look.
However, if I do what I say, I will definitely make him regret what he said to me today.
