Ye Chen didn't pay much attention and stood silently behind.
The two men were talking in the elevator as if no one else was around.
"Do you think that factory's price is too high?"
"It's a bit high, but the other party got it right and we had to buy it, so we raised the price."
"What should we do?
Otherwise, let's leave it like this. We are the ones negotiating anyway, and the price is above the bottom line. Just ask for more. It's not us paying for it anyway."
The two wanted to continue talking, but there was a ding, the elevator arrived, and they walked out immediately.
Ye Chen, who was behind him, was no longer calm, and his eyes began to shine as he looked at the two people walking out.
Then he turned to Xu Hong and said, "Follow them out and ask them for their contact information."
"ah?"
Xu Hong was stunned for a moment, and after half a second, his eyes looking at Ye Chen were wrong, "Mr. Ye, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person, those are two men!"
“What’s wrong with this type of person, that kind of person, a man?
Can a man eat you?
It’s inexplicable, go quickly!”
Ye Chen said a little strangely.
Xu Hong was a little reluctant, but he had to lower his head under the eaves, so he had no choice but to follow him out, while Ye Chen returned to the room alone.
After a while, Xu Hong knocked on the door and came in. He took out a small piece of paper and handed it to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, here are their phone and pager numbers."
Ye Chen took it, took a look at it, and said, "Thank you for your hard work. You should go back to your room and rest first. You have been tired for a whole day."
After saying that, he got up and wanted to smoke a cigarette, but found Xu Hong standing motionless: "Why do you want to stay here to eat?
Go back to your room!"
"Mr. Ye, if I remember correctly, you are married. Your sister-in-law is very beautiful. Will you be sorry for her if you do this?"
Xu Hong asked unwillingly.
"What's the mess, why can't I feel sorry for her?"
Ye Chen said in surprise.
"Stop pretending, I just saw them all in the elevator. The way you looked at her in the elevator was different, as if you were looking at a beautiful woman! Now you want me to ask her for her contact information, you,
You just like men!"
"I'm just telling you, why have you, a rich man like you, not found another woman so far? I thought you were a breath of fresh air among rich people, but you turned out to be a mudslide!"
Xu Hong said, and subconsciously took two steps back, fearing that Ye Chen would be unkind to him.
Ye Chen was stunned. What happened just now made the other party think that he liked a man?
In my previous life, I only knew how bad Xu Hong was in marketing and plagiarism. I had never heard of him being such a mentally retarded person, right?
What kind of brain circuit is this?
"Mr. Ye, I think I..."
"roll."
Ye Chen said calmly, "Can you stop thinking about these things all day long?
If you have this time, can you think more about how to increase sales?"
"Do you know what those two people do?
There is a profession called a negotiation consultant, who, as the name suggests, specializes in helping companies negotiate, usually through their own connections or team, to obtain the maximum benefits for the company."
"And from listening to their conversation just now, I guessed that these two people are in this kind of profession.
I need my contact information, I’ll need it later.”
Xu Hong suddenly realized that he had misunderstood the other party, and his vigilance relaxed a lot, "Then Mr. Ye, why do we need a negotiation consultant?
We seem to need to negotiate some business recently."
"It hasn't happened recently, but it will happen soon. We will talk in detail tomorrow after we return to the factory. You can go and rest first, and then follow me to see Minister Xie."
"Fine!"
In the evening, Xie Yun's secretary and driver arrived, and Ye Chen arrived at the office of the Ministry of Commerce.
"Ye Chen is here, sit down!"
When Xie Yun saw Ye Chen come in, he stood up and said.
"OK."
Ye Chen was not polite, sat down directly, and said, "Minister Xie came to me today, what do you want to say?"
"I know you big bosses are all busy, so I won't go around in circles. I mainly want to ask you, is what you said at the conference today for the effect of your speech, or is it really your true thought?"
"What Minister Xie is talking about is accumulating funds and then investing in the technology industry for research and development?"
Ye Chen asked.
"Yes, that's it."
Xie Yu nodded and said, "You also know that our country's industry is now taking off, and the demographic dividend is prompting foreign companies to pay more and more attention to investment in us. Our total industrial volume almost doubles every year, but
!”
Xie Yun suddenly sighed and stopped talking.
"But they are all low-tech, low-profit, polluting, and population-intensive industries, such as textiles, food, assembly, etc."
Ye Chen took over what the other party said and said, "And this kind of industry is still extremely lacking for us. In other words, we are now doing the dirtiest and most tiring work in the world, and the profits we get are not even as good as those in Europe and the United States.
We are one percent of the country, but the key is that sometimes it is not our turn to do this job."
"Yes."
Xie Yun had a sad look on his face, "Now we are in dire straits. A large number of young people are crowded into this country. This kind of population-intensive industry can indeed temporarily solve the urgent employment problem in our country, but it will not be a long-term solution after all."
count!"
"We must develop high-tech industries and go in these directions. Even if we lose money, we must do it. If we don't do it now, we will be even more controlled by others in the future!"
Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded. It seems that there are still many people with foresight in this era, but there are so few such people that when China wanted to upgrade its industry thirty years later, it was frequently blocked by the United States.
The neck is still unable to fight back.
The emergence of this situation is actually quite normal. China's private technology is not even a little bit behind Europe and the United States. Products that are ten generations behind others cannot be produced!
Even if you invest a lot of money to make other people's outdated products, no one will buy it!
If no one buys it, there will be no way to withdraw funds to continue research and development, thus entering a vicious cycle and even bringing down a company!
In other words, engaging in the technology industry now is like beating a dog with a meat bun, and you will never come back.
The reason for this situation is actually not that the Chinese are incompetent. The main reason is that there has always been an international agreement to block China. Technologies with a little bit of technological content are not allowed to be sold to China.
The purpose is to completely lock down China.
Therefore, if the Chinese want to develop some technology, they can only start from the very beginning of research and development. This is equivalent to walking a thousand meters and you are still thinking about what shoes to wear.
In this era, if anyone is willing to invest in technology companies, it's really a shame.
