Inside the gold store, Zhou Jimin just walked in and happened to see an acquaintance he hadn't seen for a long time.
Xu Mei!
She went shopping with another well-dressed woman. Judging from the closeness between the two, they must have a very good relationship.
It's just that the two of them are in trouble now. They are being pestered by a rich man and cannot leave yet.
"Two beauties are destined to meet each other. Let's get to know each other and make friends. What kind of jewelry do you like? Just tell me, how about I pay for it?"
The rich kid’s name is Zheng Qi’an, the rich second generation of an unknown family on the island.
Seeing his smug look, Xu Mei was disgusted and looked like she was repelling him.
The same goes for the girl next to her. This boring fly is really disgusting. It keeps buzzing and is annoying to death.
"With such a strong tone, I'm not afraid of the wind flashing my tongue. Every piece of jewelry here costs hundreds of dollars. If I like them all, can you buy them all and give them to me?"
The woman's voice made me laugh a little, but when I saw Zheng Qi'an's piggy expression, he quickly returned to his iceberg look.
The latter withdrew his gaze, twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, looked at the woman next to Xu Mei and said:
"Can you wear so many jewelry? Besides, what man comes in and says he wants to buy some? I'll give it to you. Do you think these jewelry are free? You can't even afford them if I sell them." p>
The salespeople in the gold store were trying not to laugh. No matter how funny they were, they couldn't laugh at this time.
At this time, Zhou Jimin came over and said to the salesperson:
"Go get your store manager or manager over here. There is $250,000 in this card. I need to spend it all within today. Go quickly!"
Ga!
Zheng Qi'an's face suddenly turned extremely green.
Xu Mei and the woman next to her burst out laughing, their harsh taunts making Zheng Qi'an lose face.
One moment he said that no one was scanning the goods, and the next moment a man who looked like an old professor walked in and said that he wanted to spend all the money in the card.
Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, how much money is that?
It's incredible.
"Where did this stinky old man come from? He just took out a card and said he had 250,000 US dollars. He couldn't have just come out of Qingshan Hospital, right?"
Hearing Zheng Qi'an's angry words, several good-looking salespersons also looked at each other, looked at Zhou Jimin with a little hesitation, and stopped in surprise.
As a mental hospital just established two or three years ago on the island, Castle Peak Hospital located in the east of Tuen Mun, Castle Peak is already very famous.
Ge had several mental illness incidents and was admitted to Qingshan Hospital.
As time went by, Qingshan Hospital gradually became synonymous with mental illness.
Even Xu Mei and her companions looked at her strangely and took a small step back.
Zhou Jimin immediately laughed, took out a thick stack of green banknotes from his pocket, and said sarcastically:
"Have you ever seen a lunatic who buys things with so much cash? It's shameful for an ignorant idiot to just pretend to be rich and pick up girls!"
After that, he didn't look at Zheng Qi'an anymore, but frowned at the salesperson and scolded dissatisfied:
"This is how you do business? Why don't you hurry up and call your manager over?"
Several salesmen, who had just woken up from a dream, immediately ran to find the manager.
At this time, Zheng Qian was very angry and felt very embarrassed.
A dignified member of the Zheng family is actually being scolded as a charlatan who pretends to be rich?
Although he didn't know what Sha Diao meant, it obviously meant swearing.
Especially the looks in the eyes of the two beautiful ladies Xu Mei next to him made him unbearable.
"Asshole, let me see how someone like you, who came from Qingshan Hospital, bought the entire store."
I am angry, I have no money in my pocket, and I don’t want to leave in despair, so I can only hold on.
Phew!
Both Xu Mei and Xu Mei were very amused. This rich kid must have been tricked by Zhou Jimin, who was pretending to be an old professor.
Otherwise, based on the arrogant and domineering behavior of children from rich families, they would definitely not be so angry.
Xu and Mei, who originally wanted to leave, are no longer in a hurry now.
It’s rare to see a good show, so why not join in the fun?
The store manager came over. He was a fat, middle-aged man of about the same height and weight.
"Hello sir, do you want to buy gold from our store?"
"That's right, but I don't want gold jewelry. I just want gold that hasn't been processed yet. The price shouldn't be too expensive. Otherwise, I'll go to other stores and ask."
When he heard that he didn't want gold jewelry, the middle-aged fat man suddenly lost his expression and said with a wry smile that he couldn't make any money by selling gold.
"You don't want to do this business, do you? OK!"
Zhou Jimin was quite disappointed. If he didn't complete the transaction, he was afraid that Chou Guo would find out, so he directly notified HSBC to lock his card.
In that case, the money in the card will be lost.
He doesn't want to waste time, he just wants to spend the money as soon as possible.
The middle-aged fat man quickly grabbed Zhou Jimin, smiled ingratiatingly, and said that he wanted to do this business, but he had to go to the conference room to discuss it in detail.
"Which conference room are you going to? It's a waste of time. Take out the gold quickly and swipe your card now."
"Sorry, our store does not have a credit card machine, but don't worry, there is a bank next door, and the transfer can be completed soon."
"Then what nonsense are you talking about? Let's go and transfer the money."
Hiss!
So fierce?
The middle-aged fat man quickly apologized and stabilized Zhou Jimin first, then asked someone to close the door of the store, and then someone started to prepare gold.
Soon, gold was well weighed and the price was not expensive, at US$38 per ounce.
Based on the total price of US$250,000, Zhou Jimin can take away 6,578.9 ounces of gold.
One ounce is equal to 28.35 grams, that is to say, 6578.9 ounces is equal to 186511.8 grams.
A total of three hundred and seventy-three kilograms of gold, neither too much nor too heavy.
Anyway, Zhou Jimin can easily carry this weight.
"Let's go and transfer the money."
Zhou Jimin looked at the gold and knew it was not fake.
If the other party wants to do something stupid, he doesn't mind letting the other party lose everything.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Not long after, the two of them arrived at the HSBC Bank.
When the bank clerk saw Zhou Jimin coming, he was all smiles, because this is a big customer and he must be treated well.
However, the bank clerk stopped laughing immediately, because Zhou Jimin said he wanted to transfer the money.
Yes, transfer them all!
The biggest customer is the one you can’t afford to offend!
But the bank supervisor still noticed this scene and hurried over. When he heard that Zhou Jimin wanted to transfer all the money inside, the supervisor quickly persuaded him.
But soon he saw Zhou Jimin's expression downcast and had no choice but to shut up.
Amid the hurried operation of the bank staff, Zhou Jimin and the middle-aged fat man quickly signed the signatures, and the transaction was completed soon.
After confirming that the transfer was successful, the middle-aged fat man immediately beamed. This time, he made a lot of money.
Although he did not earn the processing fee for the gold jewelry, he could earn as little as three thousand Hong Kong dollars after changing hands for the 373 kilograms of gold.
This transaction is comparable to the profit of a month's sales of the store.
Returning to the gold store, the middle-aged fat man thoughtfully wanted to help Zhou Jimin carry the gold back to the Mercedes-Benz.
But the latter declined directly, and the middle-aged fat man was immediately surprised:
"Sir, that's three hundred and seventy-three pounds, not more than thirty pounds. Can you really do it alone?"
"Men, never say no!"
Just as they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the gold store. Zheng Qian, Xu Mei and others all looked at Zhou Jimin and the middle-aged fat man.
Judging from the two people talking and laughing, it seems that the deal has really been completed.
That's 250,000 U.S. dollars, just spend it?
Zheng Qi'an didn't dare to say anything anymore. He was hiding aside now, wishing that no one could see him.
However, according to Murphy's law, the more you don't want something to happen, the more likely it is to happen.
I saw Zhou Jimin walking up to Zheng Qi'an. The latter's face turned pale. How can a person who can spend two hundred and fifty thousand dollars casually be an ordinary person? The Zheng family would definitely not dare to provoke such a person.
"Don't come over here. Let me tell you, I am the third generation of the Zheng family in Kowloon. If you dare to hit me, I will fight back."
Seeing him looking like a coward and listening to the ridicule of Xu Mei and others, Zhou Jimin shook his head without saying a word, turned around and went inside.
When Zhou Jimin left, Zheng Qi'an breathed a sigh of relief.
The former's momentum was so strong that when he got close to him just now, he almost couldn't breathe.
This frightened him even more than when he faced his grandfather.
In the small room inside, when Zhou Jimin easily held more than three hundred kilograms of gold in his hands, nodded to the fat middle-aged man without changing his expression, turned around and walked out.
The fat middle-aged man, the salesperson, etc. all had their eyes widened with horror on their faces.
It was obvious that Zhou Jimin was an old professor, at least fifty or sixty years old. He wore a pair of glasses. Although he was tall, he didn't expect to be so strong.
In fact, in this era, many rural people, many of whom are strong men, can carry things weighing three to four hundred kilograms with ease.
After all, they are not carrying goods, but the heavy responsibility of the family.
Even Xu Mei and others were surprised. How could this gentle old professor be so energetic?
Zheng Qian, who was hiding in the corner, was even more fortunate. Fortunately, he had surrendered early, otherwise the old professor would really have taught him how to behave.
For 250,000 U.S. dollars of gold, everyone can roughly mentally calculate how many pounds of gold there are.
Therefore, everyone was so shocked when they saw Zhou Jimin easily carrying hundreds of kilograms of gold.
After all, even a young and strong man cannot be so relaxed and comfortable.
However, when Zhou Jimin walked to the door and was about to go out, three robbers wearing hats and carrying pistols came in.
Bang bang bang!
As soon as they entered the door, the three robbers fired three shots at the window and ceiling.
Screams spread everywhere, and almost everyone squatted down.
"Everyone, workers and management, get down and don't move. Be careful of the gun going off!"
The three robbers were very arrogant. They rushed in, smashed, smashed and robbed. The first one to bear the brunt was Zhou Jimin.
The island in the 1960s was almost the darkest period, and robbery was a normal thing.
Just like gang fights, smashing, smashing, and looting are common at this time.
However, this is the busiest street on the island. I didn’t expect that someone would dare to rob someone with a gun on the street.
It’s so special that I want money rather than my life.
Zhou Jimin never thought that he would encounter such a thing, because in his impression, even if the island is very chaotic, it has a certain limit.
I was in a daze for a moment, and saw the robber holding a gun to my head, so I reached out to grab the bag in his hand.
He ignored it, so let the other party take it.
When Xu Mei and her companions saw this scene, they exclaimed, but did not attract any attention.
Because at this time, the entire gold store was in chaos, and there was no one outside the door.
Only further away would people point to the gold store, but no one called the police.
As Zhou Jimin let go of his hand, the robber who took the bag quickly took the bag weighing several hundred kilograms into the ditch.
The moment the robber fell, Zhou Jimin quickly removed the muzzle of the gun and snatched the gun away as quickly as possible.
Then he immediately aimed at the other two robbers and shot two bullets backhand.
Bang bang!
Accompanied by two gunshots, the two robbers' gun-holding hands were hit, and the pistols fell to the ground.
Zhou Jimin rushed up and picked up the pistol.
After the crisis was over, Zhou Jimin was not idle and soon had the arms of three robbers removed.
As a result, the fighting power of the three robbers instantly collapsed and they could no longer do evil.
All this happened in the blink of an eye. Everyone who witnessed it was dumbfounded and froze in place, motionless.
The middle-aged fat manager, the owner of the gold store, was completely stunned.
Fortunately, he just sold the gold to Zhou Jimin, an old professor. Otherwise, he would have left early. Not only would he not have earned three thousand yuan today, but he would also have been robbed.
When robbers cross the border, how can a gold store be spared?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Now the glass windows and ceiling are just broken. It doesn’t cost much to repair them.
While Zheng Qi'an was stunned, he was once again grateful for his choice.
Wow, this old professor not only has a strong aura and strength, he is also a true god of death.
Who has ever seen that gentle old man in his fifties or sixties knock down three armed robbers to the ground in a flash of his hands?
Even the military is not that worried.
Not to mention Xu Mei, the salesperson and others, they no longer know what to say.
It’s just a visit to a gold store, meeting a top-notch rich kid, or watching a slap-in-the-face scene.
We were actually robbed by an extremely arrogant robber armed with three pistols.
What's even more funny is that the old professor, who was extremely strong, actually killed three robbers with his backhand.
No TV series would dare to shoot like this.
Today’s wave of melon is really filling.
Zhou Jimin glanced at the store. The middle-aged fat man and others all shrank their heads, not daring to look at him.
"Why don't you call the police quickly?"
After that, Zhou Jimin kicked the robber, put away the pistol, and left without looking back, carrying the gold.
The three robbers definitely didn't have any money on them, so they took three pistols as payment.
Zhou Jimin casually put the gold in the back seat of the car. After thinking about it, he came to the store again and said to Xu Mei and her companions:
"You follow me."
The two of them immediately turned pale and stood up tremblingly, not wanting to follow him.
They looked at the middle-aged fat man and others as if asking for help, but they all lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything.
Looking at the indifferent Xu Mei, Zhou Jimin almost wanted to vomit blood.
This stupid woman just knows how to stay and eat. Doesn’t she know that she will be exploited when the police arrive?
How stupid!
Therefore, his face darkened and he took out a pistol from his back.
Said coldly:
"My patience is very limited, I only count three times, one, two, bang!"
With the sound of a gunshot, Xu Mei and her companion screamed instantly.
The same goes for other people in the store. I didn't expect that the old professor was actually an LSP, and he wasn't a good guy either.
At this time, Xu Mei regretted it to death.
However, it is useless to regret anymore, no one can save her now.
She and her companion could only follow Zhou Jimin obediently and get into the Mercedes-Benz together.
A few minutes later, the police came to the gold store.
At this time, Zhou Jimin had already driven Xu Mei and the others to the East District. On the roadside, he coldly ordered Xu Mei and his companions:
"Get off!"
The woman couldn't believe it. She ignored Xu Mei's pleas, left Xu Mei and ran away.
Start the car and continue on the road.
Xu Mei, who was about to take action, suddenly heard the cold voice of Zhou Jimin who was driving:
"Don't move around, bullets don't have eyes."
Xu Mei was immediately startled, and then sat down quietly, not daring to think about anything else.
However, as the car moved forward, she became more and more surprised.
Because this is the way to her home.
At the entrance of the villa on the top of the mountain, when the Mercedes-Benz really arrived, Xu Mei became even more panicked.
But after the car stopped, the old professor in the driver's seat suddenly took off his clothes.
Then Xu Mei's face appeared in disbelief, the face she had been dreaming about day and night.
"What? Do you not recognize me anymore? Or did you find another man for me?"
Listening to his familiar voice and looking at his face, Xu Mei fell into a daze.
Then, she herself forgot how much time had passed, then she screamed and rushed forward.
Zhou Jimin put his arms around her and gave her a big hug.
Although it is not very easy to use in the car, the space inside the Mercedes-Benz is still quite large, which is not unacceptable.
When the intimacy was almost complete, Zhou Jimin pushed her away and said:
"I asked you what happened when you were in the gold store just now? You obviously had time to leave, so why did you stay to watch the show? If I hadn't been there, would you have told me where you were today?
?And I told you before to stay with big dogs when you go out, why have you forgotten again?"
His scolding was loud, but in Xu Mei's ears, it was filled with concern, which made her very happy.
Looking at her nymphomaniac expression, Zhou Jimin was both angry and funny.
He just talked about his feelings in vain, this silly woman, let her look good at night.
He got out of the car and rang the doorbell, and several big dogs immediately rushed forward excitedly.
"Get aside, this spit is all on my face, it stinks like hell."
Xu Mei smiled even more happily when she saw Zhou Jimin fighting with the big dogs.
It's possible that she got the wrong person, but dogs don't.
Inside the villa, Qin Jingru and Ji Buchu, who were playing with the children in the yard, also saw the movement at the door and stood up.
As a result, from a distance, they could see clearly that it was their man.
"Jimin, is that you?"
Qin Jingru and the two shouted loudly, and then they saw Zhou Jimin stretch out his hand and wave to them.
The two women dropped their children and ran towards Zhou Jimin quickly.
"Aunt Jingru, I'm hiding. Come find me quickly."
"Me too, Aunt Jingru, you can't find me, hehe."
"Aunt Jingru, I've hidden it too."
The three little guys were giggling, but after waiting for a long time, their Aunt Jingru didn't come to find her.
Then, after they shouted for a long time and saw no answer, they suddenly panicked and stood up to check from the bushes where they were hiding or lifted the covers covering themselves.
As a result, no one was seen.
Until they saw their mother and a strange man from the doorway.
"Mom, who is he?"
After Zhou Jimin and the others came over, Zhou Qingyue and the other three little guys stared blankly, and the oldest one, Zhou Qingyue, asked in a sweet voice.
"Call daddy. Didn't mom tell you? He is your daddy."
Xu Mei picked up the little one and put her in Zhou Jimin's arms.
Fortunately, the little one didn't cry or fuss, and just looked at her father with wide eyes.
We have met her several times since she was born not long ago. Until now, when Zhou Qingyue is over one year old, this is the first time she has seen her father.
Zhou Jimin looked at her with a smile and said gently, "Xiao Qingyue, don't you remember daddy? Dad hugged you before, and you peed on daddy's hand."
After all, they hadn't seen each other for more than a year, so he felt guilty and owed them a lot.
"Dad."
The little one finally called her daddy, but soon came a second sentence, and then she hugged her daddy's neck and started crying.
When she cries, Xu Mei and the others want to cry too.
When the two little guys saw that something was wrong, they also pursed their lips and started crying.
Seeing this, Zhou Jimin quickly picked up the other two little guys, then said something to Xu Mei and the others, and then returned to the living room.
Qin Jingru, Ji Buchu and the two girls have sons whose names were decided before, Zhou Bingxu and Zhou Bingheng.
Jibchuhe gave birth to Zhou Bingheng a week later than Qin Jingru.
After chatting about the situation, Zhou Jimin smiled and said:
"Then you two are older than Zhou Bingliang. Xiao Xu is the fifth child and Xiao Heng is the sixth child. You have three sisters, an elder brother and a younger brother. Do you understand?"
Looking at their confused expressions, Zhou Jimin took out the photos, which were all single photos of Zhou Qingxian and the others.
There are many photos, probably hundreds of them.
After Xu Mei and the other three girls saw it, their eyes were full of envy and jealousy. They looked at each other and then looked at Zhou Jimin.
When the latter saw their eyes, they didn't know what they were thinking.
Looking at the three little guys playing with the photos, Zhou Jimin smiled and said:
"No problem, I will stay on the island for about a week during this period. I will try my best to visit you and take more photos then."
Upon hearing this, Xu Mei and the others were immediately overjoyed.
Although it is only a short week, it is not impossible if it is allocated well.
"Jimin, you must be sleepy too, right? Let's go, I'll put hot water in for a bath first."
It's evening time now, from taking the plane in the morning, to taking the ferry at noon, to meeting the mixed-race people and others after arriving on the island.
Then I spent half the afternoon visiting several bank branches to withdraw cash, and finally it was about the gold store.
Not to mention, this day was very busy, but fortunately, the harvest was quite big.
One thing to note is that before, Zhou Jimin boasted to a long-legged mixed-race beauty, saying that it would be easy for him to earn a million dollars. This was really not a boast.
However, due to his status, he was unable to put the money in public and could only use it secretly.
I followed Xu Mei to the second floor and took a hot shower. When he came downstairs, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.
Qin Jingru and Ji Buchu looked at Zhou Jimin with their eyes full of resentment and longing.
But they have already agreed that Xu Mei's time must be guaranteed first.
Because the latter’s first child is a daughter, and she is already 29 years old this year, which is considered an advanced maternal age in this era.
On a small island where sons are valued over daughters, women like Xu Mei and others certainly hope to have a son.
It’s not to inherit Zhou Jimin’s family business, but to leave him a message and let him know that he still has a home on the island.
Although from Zhou Jimin's ranking of several children just now, Xu Mei and the others also understood Zhou Jimin's thoughts, and they were indeed treating them equally.
However, they know that Xu Mei must not know their existence.
They don’t know how the future will change, but they just want to seize the present.
"Are the children asleep?"
Looking at the two of them, Zhou Jimin felt somewhat guilty and his voice became much softer.
"They have just finished taking a shower and are playing in the room. They won't go to bed until nine o'clock."
"Okay, then I'll play with them for a while and go back at nine o'clock."
Qin Jingru was about to speak but was stopped by Jibchuhe, who stopped talking.
The three little guys seemed a little reserved and uncomfortable with Zhou Jimin, a strange father, and they couldn't play with each other.
But within a short time, Zhou Bingxu was riding on his father's back, shouting loudly, which made the two little guys Zhou Qingyue and Zhou Bingheng very envious, shouting repeatedly that it's time for me, it's time for me.
After playing for a while with the three little guys, the estrangement was finally eliminated and they could play intimately.
Until nine o'clock, they were still unwilling to sleep.
Then it was Zhou Jimin who coaxed them and told them stories before putting them to sleep.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Zhou Jimin finally drove his Mercedes-Benz out of the villa in the vast darkness.
The Mercedes-Benz has been remodeled by him in the space. To put it simply, the exterior has become much older and weathered.
The license plate is directly transformed into a very ordinary number. After all, the more beautiful the number, the greater the possibility of collision with others.
As the car left the villa on the top of the mountain, Zhou Jimin was still thinking about the next thing.
He originally had only two tasks on this trip to the island. One was to assist in purchasing precision instruments and equipment. This task was also his main task on this trip to the island.
However, before he even started the mission, he encountered five obstacles including the hybrid as soon as he landed on the island, as well as what happened to Dahua Company.
As you can imagine, the next trip to the island may not be so smooth.
The second task is to visit Xu Mei and the others, mainly to improve the relationship with the children and not to be too unfamiliar.
At the same time, regarding this point, he was still thinking about how he should visit Zhou Qingyue and the others more in the future?
Let’s not talk about adults, but children are definitely innocent.
Obviously they all have fathers, but because Zhou Jimin doesn't live on the island all year round, it makes them seem like a single-parent family.
After thinking for a while, he couldn't think of a way.
The main reason is that he stays in the capital for a long time, and the distance between the capital and the island is more than 3,000 kilometers. He goes out for at least ten days and a half months.
With his current situation, how could he be away for such a long time?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
And it’s not often that we have such a good thing as a business trip, so we can only take it one step at a time.
When he returned to the Tanglou, Lu Jingyuan rushed over immediately and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhou Jimin was safe and sound.
"Leader, you scared me to death. We just heard that there was a robbery with a gun in Central. The robber was knocked down by an old professor who was buying gold in a gold store. Leader, there are really talented people here on the island.
There are too many. When you go out in the future, can you take me with you?"
"After all, it's too dangerous for you to go out alone."
As soon as Zhou Jimin got off the bus, Lu Jingyuan nagged him all the way.
Li Zhongkai, Guo Houde and others also looked at him with worries and joy. He could only smile and said:
"Don't worry, I have left you to worry. Lao Xing once said that I am the king of soldiers among the kings of soldiers. Haha, I am not bragging."
After bragging, Zhou Jimin continued:
"How's it going? There's nothing unusual here at Dahua Company, right?"
What could be abnormal?
After dispatching manpower from the dock, things are much better here in the tenement building.
The security situation on the island is getting more and more severe. Li Zhongkai and the others have reported this matter to the superiors. I believe that more people will come to the island soon.
Otherwise, insufficient manpower will definitely cause more losses.
"So what are your plans for tomorrow?"
After hearing Zhou Jimin's inquiry, Li Zhongkai opened the notebook he carried with him and said:
"Well, we made an appointment with each other to meet at 10:30 tomorrow morning at the Peninsula Hotel."
The other company is a very powerful group company from Germany in Europe. This company, Dahua Company, has a good cooperative relationship.
Products exported from China, such as shrimps, distribution boxes, auto parts, etc., are basically exported through Dahua Company.
In the past, Dahua Company was responsible for exporting raw materials such as shrimp and steel, most of which were sent to the furry bear country in the north.
But due to subjective and objective reasons, there is now little contact with the Bear Country.
On the contrary, the north is not bright and the south is bright. The Dahua Company branch located on the small island in the south is receiving more and more attention from the above.
Due to the impact of debt relationships, the mainland's export volume has increased, especially the emergence of high-tech products such as distribution boxes and auto parts, which have been welcomed by foreign countries, and the export volume has far exceeded that in the past.
Because of this, the German Baybar Group has always been very greedy due to the influence of technology and patents.
After all, the products coming out of the mainland are very good, and after paying a lot of money, it is normal to be greedy for technology.
However, the procurement requirements passed from Dahua Company some time ago immediately made Baibar Group smell an opportunity.
It’s just fat meat delivered to your door. How could the Baybar Group let it go?
As a result, many demands were made that Dahua Company considered to be excessive.
However, Baibars holds smart instruments and equipment that are urgently needed in the mainland for the construction of computer manufacturing plants and the debugging of production lines, and there is no other substitute.
Zhou Jimin also knows this very well. After all, the mainland does not have such an industrial foundation, and it is impossible to reach the top in one step.
The production lines that the computer manufacturing plant needs to build are too expensive and can only be imported from the Baybar Group.
Even if you are slaughtered, there is nothing you can do.
Of course, the current Baibars Group certainly does not know these situations. Otherwise, the other party will not make the previous demands, but become more ruthless and emboldened.
Tsim Sha Tsui, Peninsula Hotel.
The Peninsula Hotel, which has stood in Victoria Harbor for more than 30 years, is currently one of the most prosperous five-star hotels on the island.
It has witnessed the historical rise and fall of the island, and will continue to exist.
On this day, Zhou Jimin, Li Zhongkai and Guo Houde walked into a suite on the top floor of the Peninsula Hotel.
In addition to the three of them, there are five other people responsible for security and secretarial work.
In the suite, as Zhou Jimin and others walked in, the Baibar Group and others inside also stood up.
It’s true that I was a bit arrogant and didn’t even come downstairs to greet him.
However, this is normal. After all, Zhou Jimin’s identity is confidential, and it is normal for the Baibars Group not to know.
This negotiation mainly relied on Li Zhongkai and Guo Houde. Zhou Jimin just listened and did not interrupt.
After the opening, the other party forcefully stated again that all the technical information mentioned before were indispensable.
Because the precision instruments and equipment provided by the Baybar Group are so good that many countries around the world import them from them.
Therefore, if Dahua Company wants it and wants to jump in line to get the product, it can only cut off the meat.
In negotiations, the other party has given a price, then you have to pay back the money and start bargaining.
Li Zhongkai directly objected, saying that the products of Baybar Group are great, but they are not worth that much money at all, let alone in exchange for technology?
Technology is not a piece of shit that can be researched and created casually, right?
That was earned by countless engineers and scientific researchers with their blood and sweat.
Then he started to brag about some of the technologies invented by Zhou Jimin, such as certain car accessories.
Zhou Jimin next to him felt a little blushed after hearing this. Did he hold it in his mouth like this? Why didn't he feel it?
But seeing the expressions of approval from Baibar Group and others on the opposite side, Zhou Jimin became even more speechless.
However, after Li Zhongkai finished speaking, the other party placed Li Zhongkai's words intact on the other party's technical inventions of precision instruments and equipment.
Li Zhongkai and others were stunned, and Zhou Jimin also nodded secretly, Nima, this is the height of shamelessness.
In comparison, Li Zhongkai and the others are too gentlemen. Otherwise, how could they be at a disadvantage in this negotiation?
At the same time, Zhou Jimin felt that if it were Lao Lin, Lao Xing and others who came to negotiate, these representatives of the Babel Group would be brought to their knees in minutes.
After all, when it comes to negotiations, Chinese people dare to call themselves ancestors, while foreigners can only bow to them.
The two sides came and went, and the atmosphere of the negotiation gradually became lively.
As a bystander, Zhou Jimin felt that this was a waste of time, but Li Zhongkai and the others said that this is negotiation and cannot be accomplished overnight.
And told Zhou Jimin not to rush to take action, it is not his turn yet.
A morning passed. I had a light meal at the hotel at noon, rested for a while, and then resumed at two o'clock in the afternoon.
At the beginning of the afternoon negotiations, Zhou Jimin took a book and sat aside to read it to himself.
One of the representatives of the Baybar Group, named Phoenix, suddenly pointed at Zhou Jimin and said:
"Who is he? Why is he here reading a book in such an important business negotiation? Is this disrespecting us?"
Li Zhongkai's mouth was bitter and he was about to apologize and explain the situation when he saw Zhou Jimin reaching out to stop him and saying in a very authentic Germanic language:
"Sir, don't I respect you when I read a book? This is a sign of respect for knowledge. Negotiation is very important, but we have been in a stalemate and refuse to give in. Why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea, read a book, and relax
If you think about it for a while, maybe you can find the answer from books?"
What answers were found?
Of course, find a way to defeat the opponent!
After all, many times, many things are actually just a flash of inspiration.
However, Phoenix is not that easy to fool.
Although Zhou Jimin spoke standard and authentic Germanic, Phoenix still looked unhappy and said:
"I have read one of your works, and there is a saying in it, "If you don't sharpen your sword quickly in battle, it will be useless." It means that you don't sharpen your sword or polish your gun until you are about to go into battle, which is a metaphor for preparing in a hurry when things are about to happen."
"It means to be prepared when the time comes. Although it won't be very sharp, it will at least be brighter than not sharpening. It means that temporary preparation is of little use. It encourages people to work hard even at the last moment."
Zhou Jimin laughed loudly and said:
"Yes, it seems that you have a lot of knowledge about our culture. This sentence comes from the 70th chapter of "Dream of Red Mansions", right?"
I have to say that Phoenix is indeed well-read. At the very least, he has read many Chinese classics.
Phoenix has done in-depth research on books like Dream of Red Mansions, which shows that his Chinese level is not low.
No wonder, if he hadn't understood Chinese, he probably wouldn't have been sent to the island to be one of the main representatives of the negotiations.
Well, the entire negotiation situation turned into a blind chat between Zhou Jimin and Phoenix.
One spoke in authentic Germanic, and the other replied in Mandarin with a slight accent.
Despite this, other people on both sides generally understood it.
The translator understood clearly what both Zhou Jimin and the others said.
Starting from Dream of Red Mansions, the two of them chatted about cultural topics, and soon turned to foreign masterpieces, local customs, and then talked about technological inventions, etc.
Anyway, it was just a casual chat, but I didn’t expect that Phoenix not only had a certain understanding of history, classics, etc., but also had a very solid foundation in technology.
Hearing that Phoenix used to be a technical engineer, Zhou Jimin promptly flattered him.
When the other party asked Zhou Jimin what kind of work he had done, Zhou Jimin directly said that he was an ordinary worker.
But it’s not so good. In the Mainland, workers are very famous, and not everyone can be a glorious worker.
Seeing how proud he was of being a worker, Phoenix couldn't understand why?
In the Chinese books he has read, workers are just a very ordinary type of people.
But why is Zhou Jimin, a man with rich knowledge and skills, so proud of his identity as a worker?
If you don’t understand, then ask.
Then, he heard Zhou Jimin briefly explain the situation to him, and then he realized that it was the result of the spread of German Teacher Ma's ideas in the mainland.
Regarding this matter, both sides stopped talking too much and did not talk too much.
Despite this, after some small talk, the two parties became more familiar with each other.
After more than an hour, the negotiations were temporarily suspended and the talks would resume after a fifteen-minute break.
In the lounge next to him, Zhou Jimin said to Li Zhongkai:
"I will propose to the other party later that I can provide a small technical solution for the other party's precision instruments and equipment. However, the price for this solution is very high."
"I will make a request so that the other party will not only provide us with a batch of free precision instruments first, but also pay a technology transfer fee of no less than 10 million US dollars."
"Remember, you must insist on these two conditions and not let go. If you have to choose, lower both of them a little bit at the same time, but you must not let the other party know that we pay more attention to the instrument. Do you understand?"
It is impossible for a person who knows Chinese so well not to know the relationship between the mainland and the furry bear country in the north, as well as the debt problem.
Therefore, if you only lower the requirement of 10 million U.S. dollars, it is very likely that the other party will see through it: Dahua Company pays more attention to precision instruments and equipment rather than foreign currencies.
Li Zhongkai and the others nodded solemnly, "Team Leader Zhou, can you really do it? Will they really recognize the technical information you gave them? Can you keep this technology in the mainland?"
Zhou Jimin shook his head and said:
"This little technique is a small idea that I came up with based on the information you sent me before I set out. The technique is very simple, but it is very important."
"And the improvement effect is very good, but this thing is of no use to us, because we do not have the industrial foundation and technology at all, and it is useless to stay."
Hearing this, Li Zhongkai and the others were also very sorry and disappointed, but soon they became happy again.
He said that if this technology is really that powerful, then Dahua Company can not only save a lot of money this time, but also make a lot of money.
"Brother Li, you are mistaken. It is not your Dahua company that makes the money, but the computer manufacturing factory." Zhou Jimin couldn't help joking happily:
"Your Dahua company has made a lot of money in recent years, and you should also let other companies in the mainland drink from it."
When Li Zhongkai heard this, he said with a haha that he would have to ask the leaders about this, but it was not their decision.
This type of issue is considered a matter between high-level officials.
Anyway, now is the era of planned economy. Many times, the accounts cannot be calculated clearly.
Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and the negotiation began again.
As soon as the negotiations were restarted, Zhou Jimin gave the other party a heavy blow, a partial document on non-critical technologies regarding a small improvement technical plan for the processing of precision instruments and equipment.
After Phoenix and others saw the information, they deeply felt the malice coming from Zhou Jimin.
I didn’t expect that Dahua Company also knew something about their technology, maybe even a lot.
Of course, it is impossible to fully understand. If we fully understood, the two sides would not be sitting together for negotiations today.
But even so, this technical information is very fatal to them.
Because they need this technology very much, for them, it not only improves efficiency, reduces losses, etc., but also can put other competitors further away.
At present, Baibar Group's precision instrument equipment manufacturing technology has not been updated for more than a year.
It’s not that I don’t want to update, it’s just that there has been no progress.
However, other competitors are making rapid progress and may have already caught up with them.
If opponents are allowed to catch up like this, the Baibar Group's leading position will no longer exist.
Negotiations similar to today will be repeated in the future, and the buyer may even be abandoned by the buyer and instead fall into the arms of a competitor.
This is something that the Baibars Group cannot tolerate!
Therefore, after seeing Zhou Jimin give out this technical information, Phoenix and the others couldn't sit still.
Among their representatives, they are basically all technical engineers and have an unparalleled sense of technology.
But at the same time, seeing Zhou Jimin and the others smiling, seemingly confident that they would take over the Baybar Group, Phoenix and the others hesitated again.
This technology is not just a technology, but also a bait.
Once you swallow it, you're hooked.
Phoenix thought he could still struggle a little, but just as he was about to speak, he heard Zhou Jimin say:
"Phoenix, if you have already read this and start talking now instead of discussing it after discussing it, I'm afraid you will be at a huge disadvantage."
"In addition, let me tell you again, I cannot deny this technology. If you don't want it, I think your opponents will definitely be very interested."
Ga!
As soon as these words came out, Phoenix and the others did not dare to speak, and they all looked at Zhou Jimin and the others in horror.
Is this the devil?
In Phoenix's complicated expression, Zhou Jimin and others turned and left, leaving space for them to discuss the matter.
Ten minutes later, when negotiations started again, Phoenix was the first to speak, saying:
"We agree to your previous conditions, and we are willing to pay a technology transfer fee of US$100,000 if you have the complete technology."
Zhou Jimin did not speak, but sat on the chair and watched quietly.
On the contrary, Li Zhongkai next to him shook his head directly, saying that Baibar Group was not sincere and had completely underestimated the value of this technology.
"What are your conditions?"
After asking this question, the representative next to Phoenix regretted it. Isn't this a mean talk and giving the other party a target?
Phoenix and others suddenly looked extremely ugly. Damn it, you are such a stupid teammate. How can you make such a small mistake?
It’s true that there is more success than failure!
Dahua Company almost burst out laughing. Naturally, Li Zhongkai would not miss this opportunity and spoke immediately.
Well, a lion can open his mouth, who can’t do it?
At the same time, this is also called courtesy.
Who told Phoenix before that they had made things difficult for Dahua Company, and they felt like they were about to die? Li Zhongkai said that they had to let Baybar Group experience it too.
When he opened his mouth, he saw five times the amount of equipment and twenty million US dollars in cash, which stunned Zhou Jimin.
Damn, Brother Li, aren’t you afraid that the other party will just flip the table and stop talking?
Unexpectedly, Li Zhongkai was very calm. Although Phoenix and the others were shocked, they quickly calmed down.
Then it really entered the bargaining stage. In less than five minutes, Li Zhongkai reduced the price by 1%.
This concession made Phoenix and the others very excited, because it meant that they could negotiate.
As a result, the two sides began to set up their positions and entered a state of intense negotiation.
Well, this is the real negotiation process.
Unlike before, it seemed like there was nothing to talk about and no retreat at all.
Different national conditions and different strategies naturally lead to different negotiation plans.
Glancing at the watch on his wrist, Zhou Jimin suddenly spoke and promptly interrupted the negotiation.
Li Zhongkai and Guo Houde were a little confused, but they soon understood Zhou Jimin's intention.
Only Phoenix and the others wanted to vomit blood.
