Material Empire

Mo Kongchao was really angry with Liu Shuo and Huang Yanling. Earlier, McClure said 100,000 sets per year, but Liu Shuo disagreed, and Mo Kongchao was a little annoyed, and he was also afraid that McClure would leave in a huff. As a result, McClure himself relented and raised it to 150,000 sets per year. In Mo Kongchao's view, this is the generosity of foreign businessmen, and Liu Shuo should accept it anyway, so that the two parties can sign a contract quickly and pay a sum of money. What a wonderful thing to do with a $30+ million business.

But unexpectedly, McClure's concession did not satisfy Liu Shuo, and Huang Yanling jumped out again, saying that she could not give agency rights to the whole of Europe, but only to 4 countries. Isn't this a blatant provocation?

Sure enough, the foreign businessmen got angry and didn't want to cooperate with them. It's no wonder that foreign businessmen are human beings, and human beings have tempers. Foreign businessmen can bear it until this time, which shows that they have self-restraint and are not as knowledgeable as ours. But what about our people? Give a stick and use it as a needle, and when people are polite, they will intensify their conditions. What kind of quality is this!

At that moment, Mo Kongchao even thought of conducting a professional ethics education for private entrepreneurs in the city in the future to improve everyone's level, so as not to embarrass Quwu City in similar international exchanges and cooperation.

However, this time is not suitable for daydreaming, Mo Kongchao forcibly suppressed all kinds of thoughts in his mind, turned around and said to Liu Shuo: "Director Liu, how can you treat foreign guests like this? How should I put it, I am a customer from afar, so what can we discuss? You think the annual sales volume of 150,000 sets proposed by Mr. Mike is not appropriate, so how much do you think is enough?"

Speaking of which, Mo Kongchao still maintained the proper proportions of a deputy mayor. He did not force Liu Shuo to surrender to McClure, but only put on a mediation posture. He knew that Brother Ceramics Factory was a private enterprise, and the government did not have direct management power, so it could not act like a state-owned enterprise. However, his tone and expression have already explained the problem, that is, the leader is very angry and the consequences are serious.

Liu Shuo turned his head and met Huang Yanling's eyes. In front of McClure, Liu Shuo could not give a detailed explanation to Mo Kongchao, but he had to respond immediately. Huang Yanling hesitated for a moment, then nodded fiercely, meaning to tell Liu Shuo to stand firm.

Liu Shuo took a deep breath, turned his head and said to Mo Kongchao: "Mayor Mo, the figures proposed by the foreign guests are too different from our estimate of the market. We cannot agree to his conditions."

After all, he turned to McClure and said, "Mr. McClure, we asked professionals to calculate the sales volume of ceramic knives in Europe. The figure we got was 500,000 to 1 million sets per year. With the price drop and the popularity of the concept, this number will further expand. You can only promise a sales volume of 150,000 sets a year, which is too far from our expectations, can you please reconsider?"

McClure glanced quickly over the faces of the audience, then shrugged and said, "Sorry, Mr. Liu, there is also a gap between our prediction and yours, so I think I'd better give up. "

"Then please go ahead." Liu Shuo made a gesture of seeing off the guests without showing any weakness.

"This..." McClure was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the factory director in front of him would be so tough, he just didn't care what he, a foreigner, thought, and he dared not even give the mayor face. His harsh words have already been released, and it is not appropriate to give in immediately at this time. He looked at the set of ceramic knives spread out on the table, wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it.

Liu Shuo saw what McClure meant. He smiled and said, "Mr. McClure, there is a Chinese saying that business is not human. You can take this set of ceramic knives with you, even if we The two sides can't cooperate, so you can take it back and cut the fruit. As for the conditions we just proposed, you can think about it again. If you think our conditions are reasonable, we can continue to negotiate."

"Well, then I would like to thank Mr. Liu." McClure also hurried down the steps, ordered Jolliff to put away the ceramic knife, then nodded politely to Liu Shuo, and left the conference room.

Mo Kongchao took Liu Shuo and others to accompany McClure and Jolliff out of the office building, sent them to the minibus, and ordered several officials to accompany them back to the hotel, while he stayed in the factory. Watching the minibus drive out of the factory, Mo Kongchao's forced smile disappeared all of a sudden, and he stared at Liu Shuo and asked, "Director Liu, what do you mean by this! Did you just leave the country for a trip?" Do you feel that you have seen the world, and you don’t take foreign businessmen seriously?”

"This...Mayor Mo, why don't we go back to the conference room to discuss some situations, and we will report to you in detail." Liu Shuo replied dully.

When the group returned to the conference room, the secretary in the office came over to change the tea for everyone. Liu Shuo brought Mo Kongchao's teacup in front of him and put it down in front of him, acting like a subordinate. Mo Kongchao's face softened a little, and he said in a serious tone:

"Xiao Liu, Xiao Huang, it's not that I want to put on the majesty of the mayor in front of you. It's that Lao Sha repeatedly entrusted me to care about you before his death. If it were another company, I would never interfere with this kind of business. Whether you can discuss specific business issues, whether you can or cannot, I will not say a word."

"Yes, yes, the cadres and workers of our whole factory are very aware of Mayor Mo's concern for our brother ceramics factory." Liu Shuo said, "However, today's matter is really not that we do not give Mayor Mo You save face, but the sincerity of this foreign businessman is not enough, if we accept his conditions, it will be a great disadvantage to us."

"I don't understand. Why do you have to ask the other party to promise the annual sales volume? Think about it, people sell things, and of course they are willing to sell as much as possible. Even if you only promise your sales volume of 150,000 sets, if you can If they sell 1 million sets, they will definitely do so. What’s the difference between promise and non-promise?” Mo Kongchao finally raised the question in his heart. Huang Yanling was full of annoyance.

Liu Shuo looked at Huang Yanling and said, "Yanling, please explain this issue to Mayor Mo. I don't remember clearly when Director Qin told us."

"Okay." Huang Yanling nodded, and then said to Mo Kongchao: "Mayor Mo, this condition was requested by the founder of our brother ceramics factory, Qin Haiqin, director of Anhe Province. He said that our products are very good. To be competitive, we need to find some powerful agents to represent sales, and the strength of agents is reflected in the sales volume they can promise. If we give the agency rights of the whole of Europe to this Ron company, and they However, if we do not have the ability to distribute goods across Europe, our products will not be able to achieve the expected sales effect, which will affect our due profits.”

"Hmm... that's also a reason." Mo Kongchao understood a little bit. What McClure wanted was exclusive agency rights. If his company didn't have such a great ability, it would be a typical example of occupying the latrine and not shitting. Of course, it would be a disadvantage for Brother Ceramics Factory.

"In addition, there is another situation, that is, Ron Company has other substitute products. In order not to affect the sales of those substitute products, they may also deliberately grab our agency rights, and then suppress our sales volume, for other products. Eliminate competitors." Liu Shuo added another reason.

"This...isn't possible?" Mo Kong said this, but his heart began to waver. He thought for a while and said, "However, if you contradict foreign businessmen like this, if they really leave, wouldn't your wishful thinking be in vain? In my opinion, it is better to have a rabbit in hand than a thousand rabbits in sight. You sign first." With a contract of 150,000 sets a year, this is also a business volume of more than 30 million US dollars, let alone in Quwu, even in the whole of Linxi, it is a top-notch foreign trade achievement."

Liu Shuo said: "Mayor Mo, don't worry. Our factory manager Qin estimates that the annual sales volume in the European market can reach more than 500,000 sets. In addition, there are places such as the United States, Japan, and the Middle East, which add up to more than 1 million sets. It is a business of more than 200 million yuan. Director Qin said that the market for ceramic knives is very large, and there must be dealers who will be interested. Ron Company is just the beginning, and more agents will definitely come to negotiate in the future , we can wait a little longer and wait for the best conditions."

"Haha, what do you mean to say, you are the emperor's daughter, so you don't have to worry about getting married?"

Hearing that there could be sales of more than 200 million yuan at most, Mo Kongchao's mood immediately improved, and he couldn't help but joked with Liu Shuo.

"By the way, you keep talking about Director Qin, what kind of person is this, why do I think you admire him?" Mo Kongchao asked again.

Listening to Mo Kongchao's question about Qin Hai, both Liu Shuo and Huang Yanling cheered up, telling Mo Kongchao about Qin Hai's deeds word by word. Mo Kongchao's eyes widened when he heard that Qin Hai's thermal spraying machine had received 20 million yuan in deposits alone in Brazil.

Nima, just relying on a mouth and a few pages of instructions, he got a deposit of 20 million US dollars from a foreigner. What kind of a god is this! Why did this kind of talent fall to Anhe province instead of appearing under his own rule? Fortunately, Sha Renyuan didn't know how to get acquainted with such a great god, so at least he left Qu Wu with a brother ceramics factory.

"This Qin Hai has such a great ability? Why, he also designed the ceramic knife? Also, he really said that this kind of ceramic knife can sell 200 million US dollars a year?" Mo Kong asked several questions in one breath, thinking There is no longer any complaints about what Liu Shuo and the others did just now. If the conditions put forward by Liu Shuo and the others were what this capable Qin Hai said, maybe there is some truth to it.
