Huang Qinqin smiled and shook her head: "Manager, you're just too close to the situation to see things clearly."
"Why do we have to talk to them one by one? We can talk to all four of them at once."
"Want to chat?"
Manager Gao looked at her skeptically: "Will this work?"
"Why not? We won't discriminate against you."
"Since we offer the same prices and discounts for every unit, is there any problem with negotiating together?"
Huang Qinqin felt that Manager Gao was blinded by a single leaf.
If they are prepared to set different prices for different people, then they need to negotiate separately.
But they're different; their prices and discounts are the same, so negotiating together is the best approach.
Manager Gao really hadn't expected that negotiations could be conducted in this way.
But thinking about it carefully, Huang Qinqin's words seem to make a lot of sense.
"Okay, let's do it your way. We'll talk as a group of four!"
......
When Manager Gao and Huang Qinqin said they wanted to talk to all four of them at the same time.
They were all shocked.
Shouldn't discussions about cooperation be done one-on-one, with each unit individually?
Why is Yunshi Department Store acting so unpredictably?
"Isn't this a bit inappropriate? After all, the quantity required by each of our units may be different."
"Aren't you afraid we'll abandon the order because of the discrepancy in the transaction price?"
Although the other three people didn't speak, their expressions clearly showed that they shared the same thought.
Manager Gao smiled and said sincerely, "Since we dare to talk with you, this situation will definitely not happen."
"Don't worry, no matter how many orders you place, we will offer the same price."
"However, before we officially begin our discussion, we would like to ask everyone to sign this confidentiality agreement."
Huang Qinqin also took out the confidentiality agreement at the right time and gave each of them a copy.
Seeing this, the others picked up the confidentiality agreement and took a look.
Then they discovered that the confidentiality agreement mainly required them to keep the price of the pickled vegetables confidential.
What does it mean to keep this price confidential?
Does that mean we can't reveal the final price we paid to anyone?
"And this clause states that regardless of whether an order is ultimately signed, the supplier (Party B) cannot disclose the price of the pickled vegetables. What does that mean?"
Huang Qinqin patiently explained, "It means exactly what it says."
"Because the pickled vegetables in our department store are sold to foreigners for three yuan a bottle."
"But the price we're prepared to offer you is much, much lower. If this price gets leaked, the losses will be huge."
"If you are unwilling to sign this confidentiality agreement, we naturally cannot force you."
"However, in that case, we can only negotiate a price of three yuan per bottle."
Actually, Huang Qinqin was flustered and her hands were trembling when she said these words.
She was afraid they would think the department store's attitude was bad and leave immediately.
However, Huang Qinqin could only force herself to remain calm and finish her sentence, while also pretending that they didn't care about these orders at all.
She tried to project an image that the department store had no shortage of buyers, and if they were unwilling to sign a confidentiality agreement, then so be it.
Seeing Huang Qinqin and the others' insistence, the others were once again convinced that the confidentiality agreement was not detrimental to them.
So they all signed them. As long as they don't leak the prices, there won't be any problems.
After confirming that they had all signed, Huang Qinqin separated the two copies of the confidentiality agreement, keeping one copy for herself and giving the other to them.
Manager Gao was just as happy to see them sign the confidentiality agreement as he was to see them sign the contract!
In Manager Gao's mind, as long as they signed a confidentiality agreement, there was no way he wouldn't place an order with them.
The small bottle of Red Star pickled vegetables next door, which doesn't taste good, costs two cents a bottle.
They are superior to Hongxing Pickled Vegetables in terms of price, taste, and size!
"Now tell us, what is the price you're offering us?"
Manager Gao said with a beaming smile, "Of course!"
"If you sign an order with us, we will supply you with the goods at a price of three cents per bottle."
"How many?!"
"Three cents?!"
Manager Gao nodded: "Yes, you heard right, because the prices we offer to domestic companies are really too favorable."
"That's why we asked you to sign a confidentiality agreement before we started communicating."
"Because all the orders we signed with the Americans were for three dollars a bottle."
If these purchasing agents had just thought the confidentiality agreement was unnecessary and incomprehensible...
The moment Manager Gao stated the price, they instantly understood.
With such a huge price difference, if it were to leak out, it could easily reach the ears of foreigners.
That was truly a devastating loss.
One of the purchasing agents recalled a sentence written in the confidentiality agreement.
If their price disclosure causes economic losses to the department store, they will be fully liable for compensation.
He couldn't help but raise a question: "But these are all things you've been saying, how do I know if what you're saying is true?"
"What if you're lying to us?"
"What if you later stage a fake incident and claim that we caused you losses?"
"Then who can we complain to?"
Other purchasing agents chimed in, "That's right, that's right. Three yuan for a bottle of pickled vegetables? That's outrageous!"
"Yeah, maybe you sell it to others for three cents, but you're just saying it's three dollars on purpose?"
"Exactly, I think the confidentiality agreement was a bit off, and the compensation for losses was unreasonable."
When Huang Qinqin and Manager Gao heard their questions, they didn't feel that anything was wrong.
But when I heard their last sentence, I really couldn't hold back anymore.
If there's no need to compensate for losses caused by price disclosures, then what's the point of this confidentiality agreement?
However, Huang Qinqin had already considered that they might not believe her.
So after Huang Qinqin called Xu Junhui yesterday, she also called the department store.
They also instructed them to send someone to bring the contract between the department store and George directly to Guangshi.
"I understand your concerns, and our department store is also very sincere and honest."
"So we also brought the contracts we signed with the Americans."
Huang Qinqin took out the contract and handed it to them.
"Please take a look first. After you have seen it, I believe you will understand us."
Several purchasing agents took the contract with some skepticism, then huddled together to examine it carefully.
