Luo Ziling was not surprised by Deman's attitude. He smiled and said: "Whether we can reach a cooperation with Total, where Mr. Deman works, depends on the sincerity of both of us. The reason why I help Mr. Deman treat is just
To fulfill your duty as a doctor, there is no need for you to change your attitude towards me because of this. In business negotiations, the most important thing is to maximize the interests of both parties."
Luo Ziling felt that the change in Deman's attitude was not mainly due to the treatment he gave Deman, but the role of the more than 100 billion US dollars market value of the Northern Group behind him.
If he was not the major shareholder of Northern Group, no matter how good his medical skills were, it would not be possible for Deman to change his attitude like this.
The performance just now was just the icing on the cake.
Before the formal discussion, Luo Ziling introduced Northern Group and Northern Medicine: "Our Northern Group owns Northern Medicine, and its annual profits are more than one billion U.S. dollars. Because of my support in medical technology, Northern Medicine's net profit is every year
They have all grown by doubling. Unfortunately, Total Group does not have a pharmaceutical industry, otherwise we could have very good cooperation. I am not exaggerating, but I believe that in a few years, Northern Medicine will become the leading pharmaceutical company in China.
It can be ranked among the best in the world."
Although Deman looked at Luo Ziling differently, he still thought that what Luo Ziling said just now was just big talk and bragging, so he smiled and said nothing.
Luo Ziling didn't take it seriously, and the topic immediately turned to the oil and gas business, which both parties were involved in.
"Don't you have many well-known oil and gas companies in your country?" Deman squinted at Luo Ziling, "Your few barrels of oil are quite good, but the organization is bloated and the efficiency is not that high."
"In fact, every large enterprise has problems of one kind or another. The difference is just how they look at these problems. Moreover, each country's national conditions are different. What you think is a good management method often does not apply to China." Luo Ziling laughed.
He smiled and said, "I don't know if Mr. Deman has ever known about Northern Group. I think if you have known about Northern Group, I believe you will be surprised that this large group is full of vitality and is more rigorous than Western companies."
Management system, as well as investment and income that have grown rapidly year after year.”
"I have understood, otherwise I would not be sitting with Mr. Luo tasting wine and chatting!" Deman raised his glass to Luo Ziling again, "Northern Group is a very good company, more dynamic than most Chinese state-owned enterprises.
However, our company, Total, has very strict systems in terms of foreign investment and cooperation."
"This is the same for our Northern Group." Luo Ziling smiled, "Money does not come from strong winds. We have to be responsible to our shareholders, so no matter what investment we make, we must be cautious."
Deman suddenly thought of something and asked abruptly: "I would like to know, in China, do people who are in charge of companies want to hand over their companies to their families?"
Luo Ziling immediately understood what Deman meant and immediately said with a smile: "There is an ancient saying in China, which is that people should be appointed on their own merits and should not avoid relatives. The main reason why I was able to gain the trust of my mother and hand over the management of the Northern Group to me is
My ability is not because I am handsome, nor is it because I am her son. If I were incapable, even if I were her son, I would not be able to interfere in company affairs."
After hearing this, Chen Xiaoyi was stunned for a moment and gave Luo Ziling a strange look, but she still translated his words to Deman.
After hearing this, Deman was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "I was more handsome than you when I was young!"
"But Mr. Deman was certainly not as popular with women as I was when he was young!"
After these words were spoken, Chen Xiaoyi and Lin Lan rolled their eyes at the same time.
After Chen Xiaoyi glared at Luo Ziling, she translated Luo Ziling's words to Deman.
Without waiting for Deman to say anything, Luo Ziling continued: "I believe that when Mr. Deman was my age, he was still in school, did not run a large enterprise, and failed to create jaw-dropping results. I did some calculations, and I
After I started to participate in Northern Group affairs, I brought at least three billion US dollars in revenue to the company, which is the net profit after deducting costs. Not to mention my achievements in other areas. Therefore, I am qualified to be proud.
"
After Luo Ziling finished speaking, he asked Lin Lan to show some of the results he had achieved to Deman.
Lin Lan unfolded the laptop he brought and clicked on the video he made for Luo Ziling.
When letting Deman watch the video, Luo Ziling explained further: "I know that whether it is Mr. Deman or others, when they see my business partner who is so young and so good-looking, they will think that I am a
People who are unreliable in their work may be people who achieve their achievements by relying on the protection of their elders. I just want you to know that most of the achievements I have achieved are based on my own efforts and the knowledge I have mastered, and there is no other meaning.
."
Chen Xiaoyi translated Luo Ziling's words truthfully, and added on her own initiative: Luo Ziling can speak in front of the most influential group of people in China, and he is the only one who can receive such treatment.
After listening to Chen Xiaoyi's translation, Deman's expression changed slightly.
Chen Xiaoyi's last words touched his heart.
He knew Chen Xiaoyi's identity, Chen Xiaoyi said so, and she also acted as a translator for Luo Ziling, which to some extent showed that Luo Ziling had such ability.
However, the thinking of Westerners is still different from that of Easterners.
Deman still asked Luo Ziling slyly: "Mr. Luo, how do you plan to cooperate with our Total company?"
"We want to participate in your company's investment in Southeast Asia," Luo Ziling said directly. "Of course, our understanding of Total is limited to other channels, because we have no specific cooperation before, so we don't
We know the operating conditions of Total. Therefore, even if it is an investment, it is only tentative."
Luo Ziling's words made Deman feel angry.
After seeing the angry look on Deman's face, Luo Ziling smiled slightly and continued: "This is just like Mr. Deman's understanding of China and our Northern Group is limited to these aspects. Just now Mr. Deman said
The fact that Chinese medicine is a witch doctor only means that you don’t understand Chinese medicine, but it does not mean that Chinese medicine is really a witch doctor. Of course, I have the right to express my anger when Mr. Deman insults the traditional medicine I practice. But I know that you just don’t understand it.
Under the circumstances, I chose pride and prejudice. Just like I think that European buildings that are boxy without any roundness have no beauty and no artistry, it is not a correct judgment."
Having said this, Luo Ziling paused and then said: "If I say that through Northern Group, through me, Mr. Deman can have a more comprehensive understanding of China, and it can also make Total make more money and improve your financial situation."
The report is more beautiful, do you think I’m lying?”
