When Chu Tianyao stood up in person to see Han Binghong off, both of them had smiles on their faces.
"Mr. Chu, there is no need to send it away. You are always welcome to come to our company for tea when you are free!"
Outside the hotel gate, Han Binghong shook hands with Chu Tianyao before leaving.
"Then it's settled, I'll definitely visit you then."
Chu Tianyao also smiled and said, the two of them said goodbye like old friends for many years.
Until they saw Han Binghong get into the car and leave, Lu Qiuyu and Du Guoying who were following Chu Tianyao seemed to be relieved.
"I thought Han Binghong would not agree."
Lu Qiuyu looked at the black car going away and sighed.
The cooperation conditions given by Chu Tianyao were already harsh. Not to mention Lu Qiuyu, even Du Guoying was beating the drum in her heart just now.
He originally thought that Han Binghong would slam the door and leave, or bargain with Chu Tianyao, but he didn't expect that Han Binghong only hesitated for a few minutes before agreeing to Chu Tianyao's cooperation plan.
Datong Trading only obtained the agency rights for two products, Beibeijia and Xingyao vcd, for one year. Not only that, Chu Tianyao also added many restrictions to the contract details, including even dispatching factory business to Datong Trading.
represent.
"Mr. Chu, how did you guess that Han Binghong would not refuse?"
Du Guoying also asked Chu Tianyao curiously.
The two of them looked at Chu Tianyao in front of them, but Chu Tianyao shrugged and said with a smile: "How could I have guessed, it's just a gamble. Who would have thought that this guy is so upright."
"A gamble?"
Hearing Chu Tianyao's answer, Du Guoying and Lu Qiuyu were both stunned.
Chu Tianyao's courage is too great. Isn't he afraid of making Han Binghong angry and slamming the door?
You know, Du Guoying has indeed contacted several well-known home appliance sales companies in the past few days, but in comparison, Du Guoying still feels that Datong Trading is the best partner for Xingyao Technology at the moment.
"Okay, now that the matter is settled, our mission in Shanghai is over. However, after finally coming here, I will give you two days off and we will go back two days later."
Outside the hotel gate, Chu Tianyao said to Lu Qiuyu and Du Guoying.
After saying this, he walked out of the hotel.
at the same time.
In the car returning to his company, Zhao Yu, who was sitting next to Han Binghong, looked unconvinced.
"Mr. Han, this Chu Tianyao is so abominable. Not to mention being late and rude, he even has so many conditions for cooperation, and you actually agreed to them all!"
Zhao Yu pouted, obviously complaining about Han Binghong.
On the side, hearing his female secretary's words, Han Binghong had an indifferent smile on his face.
"What do you think of Chu Tianyao?"
Han Binghong asked suddenly. Zhao Yu was also startled when he heard this. Then he thought for a while and said with a bit of disdain:
"arrogant!"
Zhao Yu felt extremely dissatisfied when he thought of Chu Tianyao's performance just now.
In her eyes, a person who makes products by following Wanyan Company obviously has no real talent, but is so arrogant that he is even late for interviews for cooperation.
But after hearing his secretary's words, Han Binghong shook his head.
"Your eyelids are too shallow and you don't see people thoroughly enough."
As Han Binghong spoke, he took out a piece of information from the back seat of the car and handed it to Zhao Yu.
"This is the information I asked people to investigate."
"material?"
Zhao Yu looked surprised, but he didn't know that his boss had already investigated Chu Tianyao.
With some curiosity in his heart, Zhao Yu opened this information.
The information is very detailed, almost including the history of the establishment of Xingyao Liquor Industry, as well as the official debut of Xingyao Technology in Shenzhen.
"This guy is only twenty-two years old?"
Zhao Yu said in shock before he finished reading the information in his hand.
According to the data, it has only been half a year since Xingyao Technology officially debuted in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, and Chu Tianyao’s first pot of gold came from Xingyao Liquor Industry.
According to time calculation, Chu Tianyao founded Xingyao Liquor Industry in just two years.
To be able to own a company with annual sales of over 100 million yuan in two years is a business anecdote, let alone in the southwest region, even in the economically developed Shanghai and the special economic zones.
Han Binghong is only in his early thirties this year, and he is already known as a rising star in the Shanghai business community. But compared with Chu Tianyao, even Zhao Yu had to admit that his aura seems to be more dazzling.
"But so what?
Maybe this guy is just lucky, or maybe he has some ulterior background."
Putting down the information in his hand, Zhao Yu muttered.
Han Binghong smiled and shook his head: "People should not be judged by their appearance. I want to say that this guy was late on purpose today. Do you believe it or not?"
"Late on purpose?"
When Zhao Yu heard this, he was first shocked and then angry, "Does he want to give us a blow?
But that doesn’t make sense!”
"It's just a test."
Han Binghong smiled and saw his company's office building through the car window.
"If he really wanted to cooperate with other companies, he wouldn't show it to me so blatantly."
Hearing Han Binghong's words, Zhao Yu was even more confused.
"But Mr. Han, why did you agree to his conditions?"
Zhao Yu still didn't understand how Han Binghong could agree to Chu Tianyao's conditions so readily.
At the same time she asked this question, the car slowly stopped in front of the door of her company.
The driver has got out of the car and opened the door.
Han Binghong glanced at Zhao Yu and said slightly: "It's only a year, I can afford to wait!"
After saying this, Han Binghong got out of the car, leaving Zhao Yu sitting in the car in a daze.
And at the same time.
Shanghai Stock Exchange, The Bund.
On the bustling Jinling East Road, Chu Tianyao's figure strolled among the crowds.
It's like revisiting an old place.
Chu Tianyao looked at the old buildings around him. Compared with the high-rise buildings in his impression, he felt a bit like he was in another world.
The entrance of Dongfeng Hotel.
A store with a red door is particularly eye-catching.
American KFC Home Chicken!
The font is standard traditional Chinese. The store is not small, but there is still a queue at the door.
Seeing many parents lining up with their children, Chu Tianyao remembered that today was the weekend.
In the 1980s, KFC's first store in China opened in Beijing.
Not long after, KFC also opened in Shanghai, located in front of the Dongfeng Hotel on the Bund.
In the beginning, KFC's positioning of customers in the Chinese market was mainly foreign guests. The restaurant even supported foreign exchange and overseas remittance payments, and even had a special window to serve customers who paid with foreign exchange coupons.
However, as KFC launched waves of advertisements in the country, celebrities such as Wang Jingyu and the gymnastics prince Li Ning even frequented it. Over time, KFC became the first Internet celebrity store in the country.
Even Chu Tianyao cannot deny that KFC has enlightened Chinese consumers on Western food.
After entering the 1990s, KFC's development in China also entered a fast lane. In 1995, there were nearly 100 chain stores across the country.
Another fast food giant, Golden Arches, only entered the Chinese market in 1990. In comparison, it started a little later.
Chu Tianyao really wanted to try what the Western fast food of the 1990s tasted like, but looking at the long queue outside the door, he finally gave up the idea.
After passing the splendid Dongfeng Hotel, Chu Tianyao discovered an inconspicuous watch shop on the street.
These days, such watch shops not only sell watches, but also undertake some pawn and second-hand trading business privately.
Some people will pawn valuable items at home for temporary emergencies.
Chu Tianyao can be considered a watch enthusiast, and he has collected many famous watches in his previous life. However, for these extraneous things, Chu Tianyao has always regarded them as just a hobby.
Walking into the store out of boredom, Chu Tianyao found that the watch shop seemed a little deserted.
In the long glass counter, there are various watches and some seemingly expensive decorations.
There are also various classic styles of wall clocks hanging on the walls of the store.
When Chu Tianyao entered the store, no one greeted him. An old man with gray hair stood behind the counter and was talking to a short young man wearing a shirt.
Apparently, this old man should be the owner of the store.
However, he seemed busy talking to the young man in front of him, and the old man didn't seem to notice Chu Tianyao walking into the store.
Chu Tianyao was happy to have some leisure time and started looking at it in front of the display cabinet.
There are many watches in the watch shop, including domestic and foreign brands.
For example, there are Shanghai brand watches that are popular locally, Oriental Lion and Seiko watches from the island country, as well as Swiss brands Roman watches and plum blossom watches.
There are everything from domestic watches worth tens of dollars to imported watches worth hundreds or thousands of dollars.
"Huh?"
In the corner of the glass counter, Chu Tianyao let out a light sigh, as if he had discovered something interesting.
I saw pens placed on a counter half a meter long.
One of them looked quite familiar to Chu Tianyao.
"The guest wants to see the pen?"
Just when Chu Tianyao was stunned, an old business message came.
Behind the counter, the gray-haired old man had slowly walked up to Chu Tianyao.
Chu Tianyao nodded and pointed at one of the pens through the glass cabinet.
Worried that the old man would admit his mistake, Chu Tianyao also gave some instructions.
“Can I see this Montblanc pen?”
Hearing Chu Tianyao's words, the old man smiled and said: "Of course."
Opening the glass cabinet, the old man took out the black Montblanc pen.
"You should also be a person who recognizes products. This is a Montblanc Meisterstück 146 fountain pen. The nib is 14c gold. The cap and barrel are made of black resin and gold-plated."
As the old man spoke, he handed the pen to Chu Tianyao's hand.
If it were an ordinary guest, he would naturally not dare to be so reassured. It can be seen that Chu Tianyao was dressed like a businessman and recognized a German brand like Montblanc as soon as he opened his mouth. He did not look like an ordinary person.
Ignoring the old man's gaze, Chu Tianyao's attention was focused on the pen in his hand.
Montblanc fountain pens are not very common in China, but Chu Tianyao actually found one exactly like his own in this watch store. It must be said that it was a coincidence.
"Old sir, is this pen a second-hand item?"
Chu Tianyao raised his head and asked the person in front of him.
The old man nodded after hearing this.
"It's an imported product from the 1970s, so it can't be brand new anymore. This pen was picked up half a month ago and cost 180 yuan. If you like it, take it away for 200 yuan."
A second-hand pen can be sold for 200 yuan, which is indeed a luxury item in the pen industry.
"Okay, I want it!"
Without even haggling, Chu Tianyao took out two four-head bills from his pocket and bought the pen.
I originally thought that Chu Tianyao would pay back the price, but the old man in the store did not expect that this young customer would be so generous. He immediately accepted the money and showed a warm smile.
"I'll wrap it up for you right now."
With that said, the old man found a pen box and wrapped it up for Chu Tianyao.
"It's not urgent...Old sir, actually I want you to take a look at the pen in my hand!"
As he finished speaking, Chu Tianyao took out an identical black Montblanc pen from his jacket pocket.
"Guest, do you also have one?"
The old man was a little surprised when he saw what Chu Tianyao was holding.
Chu Tianyao clearly had the exact same thing in his hand, so why did he spend money to buy a second-hand pen?
"Wait a minute, yours seems a little different."
When the old man took the pen from Chu Tianyao, his years of experience in identifying objects allowed him to see the similarities and differences between the two pens at a glance.
"What's the difference?"
Hearing the old man's words, Chu Tianyao hurriedly asked, his expression seemingly calm, but in fact there was a trace of emotion surging in his heart.
The old man wore a pair of white gloves on his hands and gently opened the pen cap.
When he saw the nib of the pen, he exclaimed: "The all-gold nib is a rare high-end product among Montblanc pens!"
As if he had discovered a treasure, the old man put the pen in front of Chu Tianyao and slowly explained: "If you want to identify the quality of a Montblanc pen, you must first look at the nib. What I just showed you is a 14c ordinary nib.
Among Montblanc pens, it is an N1 level, but the one you have in your hand is an N6 all-gold high-end product. The pen tip is made of 18k gold, and the price is much higher."
Chu Tianyao also didn't expect that this boss knew so much about pens.
At this moment, when I heard what the other party said, I was somewhat surprised.
"Young people, Montblanc pens of this level are rare in China now. Although they are a little old, many big bosses and collectors love them. In their hands, this thing can be sold for a good price."
The old man handed the pen back to Chu Tianyao. Naturally, he wanted to test whether Chu Tianyao wanted to sell it.
"I also like to collect, but I'm not as knowledgeable as the old gentleman. This should be treated as a hobby."
Chu Tianyao took the pen and immediately put it back into his jacket pocket.
After hearing Chu Tianyao's answer, the old man could only give up.
If such a good product is in his hands, he will definitely be able to contact a good buyer.
After clearing the money and goods, Chu Tianyao took the newly bought pen and turned around and left the watch shop.
I didn't expect that there would be such rare gadgets in such a watch shop.
