Chapter 299 Rushing to See Her, Black-hearted Old Xie (Part 1)
Xie Dingyuan is unstable.
This was the sixth time he looked at his watch. His good upbringing was the only reason why he was sitting here and not leaving.
"...So, our products are absolutely safe, effective, and low-cost. This is something no other country except Country D can achieve."
Xie Dingyuan didn't say anything.
Several senior executives on the opposite side began to exchange glances frequently.
Their company had originally arranged a negotiation with Hanqing Biology, but no one expected that Xie Dingyuan, the great Buddha, would come in person!
Before this, it was Vice President Song Yuanzhou who came forward to negotiate with them.
Several senior executives couldn't help but wonder if there was any deeper meaning or implication in this?
But the man at the top was so steady and calm that no emotion could be seen on his face.
This is a difficult situation.
It was unknown how long it took, perhaps tens of seconds, or perhaps minutes. Just as the senior executives were becoming increasingly bewildered, Xie Dingyuan spoke.
"Are you done?"
The marketing manager standing on the stage was stunned for a moment, then after realizing what was happening, he nodded hesitantly: "It's over, it's over."
"Three questions."
"ah?"
Xie Dingyuan: "First, the cost is too high. Your low consumption is based on high-performance materials. As for other countries not having it... it's because this material is monopolized by Country D, so other countries naturally don't have it."
Several senior executives looked slightly embarrassed.
"Secondly, the machines wear out too quickly. Judging from the usage of the 15 machines in the first phase, the new machines will be scrapped within two years at most. I don't know how you manage the replacement cycle, but this seems to me to be completely unreasonable."
"Third, if costs and wear rates cannot be controlled, the selling price must be reduced."
With just three sentences, he had the other party under his control in an instant.
For example, high-performance materials, even Song Yuanzhou didn't know about this, how could he...
These people don’t think about the fact that in addition to being the big boss of Historical Biology, Xie Dingyuan is also an internationally renowned biochemist and physicist.
No matter what new materials are developed by various countries, how can they escape his eyes and ears?
A senior executive stepped forward and said, "Mr. Xie, as far as I know, this batch of machines was only purchased on behalf of others. Their real purpose is for national needs, right?"
Xie Dingyuan raised his eyes and looked over: "So what?"
"Since this is a Chinese national need, as the middleman, we won't reduce your handling fee. So, can we...negotiate the price?"
The implication is that history is being purchased on behalf of China, and the real money is being paid for. The national treasury has allocated funds, so why is it still short of these small amounts of money? As long as you can stabilize the price for us, there will definitely be some benefits in the middle.
Don't think that foreigners don't know how to bargain. No one does business without pursuing profit.
This company has been dealing with Chinese enterprises for more than ten or twenty years and is well aware of all the twists and turns involved.
They had already said so much, and originally thought Xie Dingyuan would be satisfied, but who knew——
The man suddenly stood up, turned around and left.
"Mr. Xie!" The senior executives were anxious and hurriedly called out to him, "Stay! What happened? Why, why are you leaving like that?"
Xie Dingyuan didn't look back: "Hanqing doesn't discuss cooperation with those who are scheming for personal gain. I will have Song Yuanzhou contact you later to discuss the termination of the contract."
"Terminate the contract?!" The other party was shocked when he heard this. "Why are we terminating the contract?!"
Several senior executives chased after him and stood in front of him: "Don't be impulsive, both of us should calm down a little, we can discuss everything, right?"
"Yeah, after all, we are old friends. How can we just break off the relationship?"
"Mr. Xie, we are very sincere and value big customers like Han..."
Every word you say and every word I say is meant to comfort you.
Unfortunately, Xie Dingyuan didn't buy it——
"I'm calm."
"I can break it if I say so."
"I'm sorry, I can't see your sincerity and importance."
Just as he was about to walk out of the conference room and leave completely, a senior executive became angry and yelled at him in the background -
"We are the only company in the world that can produce this kind of machine. You have no other choice!"
"You're wrong," Xie Dingyuan paused and looked back. "Huaxia can produce it on its own. The lab has already found better optimization solutions and improvement methods. So, you're no longer the only one in the world. Please don't be so hasty in naming it next time."
"No, absolutely not! You don't have the raw materials, it's impossible to produce it!"
"Raw materials? You mean that composite metal?"
"How, how do you know..." The senior executive staggered and took a half step back, his expression stunned and his eyes filled with fear.
Xie Dingyuan had already gone far away.
…
When he arrived at the venue, the award ceremony had already ended and the closing ceremony was nearing its end.
The representative of Country D handed over the bronze medal and certificate awarded to IPhO by the International Committee of Physical Education to the representative of the next host country organizing committee.
The latter took the stage and welcomed teams from all countries to participate in the next IPhO.
Finally, contestants from various countries took a group photo.
The Chinese team is firmly in the C position, and Jiang Fuyue is the C position of the team.
Xie Dingyuan looked at the girl on the stage holding a certificate and flowers, and suddenly he didn't feel so regretful anymore.
At least we caught up, didn't we?
In the afternoon, the host country held a banquet and contestants from various countries attended in their best attire.
Zhong Ziang can't come in because he doesn't have an invitation card.
I asked Yan Zhenfeng and Qin Libin for help, but unfortunately, the organizer said that in order to ensure the privacy of the banquet, only team leaders and players from various countries can attend.
Everyone else, especially media reporters, is not allowed.
Huo Fanjin spread his hands and shrugged: "If Professor Yan says there's nothing we can do, then there really is nothing we can do."
Zhong Ziang's face turned black.
Huo Fanjin walked in swayingly, leaving him with a gloating back view.
"Grass!"
Suddenly, a person flashed through the boy's mind. He must have a way!
…
Xie Dingyuan stood in front of a full-length mirror and adjusted the height of his bow tie.
After several adjustments, there seemed to be deviations, so he continued to make fine adjustments without getting tired of it.
At this time, the cell phone rang.
"Hello."
"Uncle, what are you doing? Hey... Have you had lunch? Are you busy?"
Xie Dingyuan: "If you have something to say, just say it."
"Ahem...can you get an invitation to the IPhO party?"
Xie Dingyuan's eyes flickered slightly, "What do you want to do?"
"Go in and join in the fun."
"I can't get it."
"How is that possible?!" Zhong Ziang didn't believe it. "If you ask for it, Country D will definitely give you face."
"That's my face too. Even if you take it, it may not be useful."
Zhong Ziang was going crazy: "What should I do?"
"You really want to go in?"
"Nonsense! My wife... uh... Lin Shumo and the others are in there. I want to broaden my horizons."
Xie Dingyuan didn't expose him, but said calmly: "Then I can't do anything about it. The hotel will send the food up soon. I won't tell you anymore."
"Wait...you're in a hotel?"
Xie Dingyuan remained calm: "Is there a problem?"
"No problem! Absolutely no problem! Uncle, since you're in the mood to order food now, doesn't that mean you won't be busy later?"
"so?"
"That's great! Come with me! I can't use your face, so I'll go in with you and take advantage of you, okay?"
Xie Dingyuan curled his lips, but his voice was cold as ice: "This won't happen again."
"Okay, okay! I'll go change my clothes right now. Uncle, remember to wear a suit too. This party is quite formal. Meet at the hotel entrance in twenty minutes."
After saying that, I quickly hung up, fearing that he would change his mind.
Xie Dingyuan calmly put down his phone and continued to adjust the position of his bow tie.
Two minutes later, he was finally satisfied.
Looking at myself in the mirror, dressed in a suit and tie, I couldn't find anything wrong from head to toe.
very good.
He turned around, picked up his phone, dialed a number, and said in fluent German, "It's me, Professor Smith. I'm sorry to bother you again. Please leave me an extra invitation card, thank you... I've received the previous one... Yes, I need another one..."
Sunlight shines into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows. There is not a single noticeable wrinkle on the neat bed, and an invitation card lies quietly on it.
The card was a noble Roland purple, bordered by silver, and in the middle was written in smooth English cursive:
IPhO Invitation (International Physics Competition Invitation)
Xie Dingyuan took the card and left the room.
The shiny leather shoes stepped on the thick carpet in the corridor without making any noise.
Twenty minutes later, the uncle and nephew met up and set off together.
Inside the car.
Zhong Ziang looked at his uncle for the Nth time and was caught by Xie Dingyuan's cold eyes.
"Cough..." He coughed lightly.
Xie Dingyuan turned his face away coldly and looked out the window.
Suddenly, "Uncle, I think something is wrong with you today."
The first update is 3,000 words, and the second update will be at 12 o'clock.
Xie Gou: Please call me the acting emperor in the academic circle
