inside the house.
Francis was sitting on a leather sofa.
On the coffee table in front of him was a bottle of what looked like very high-end vodka, and three empty glasses.
Upon seeing the two enter, Francis stood up from the sofa, pointed to the sofa opposite the coffee table, and said.
"Please sit down!"
"I have prepared the finest vodka for you. Please have a taste."
Upon seeing this!
Chen Dong nodded politely and sat down on the sofa.
Compared to their last meeting, Francis was noticeably more enthusiastic this time.
But that's understandable.
Last time, Chen Dong was a newcomer to China and a middleman.
In Francis's mind, there were at least eight hundred or a thousand such middlemen, so he didn't take them seriously.
In the end, it was only through Sim's introduction that I was able to rent a stall.
However, who could have imagined that this oddball among China's middlemen would actually be a big fish?
Not only are they financially strong, but more importantly, they possess advantages that other Chinese middlemen do not have.
Foreign trade company, and two train cars...
These are natural trading partners!
It's like having one person who can help you get rich, and another person who asks you for a favor.
The latter is already being kind by not taking advantage of you; you expect a friendly attitude? You're dreaming!
The situation in Russia is becoming increasingly serious.
Therefore, speculators who come here to make a fortune are as numerous as carp crossing a river.
Whether there's one more Chen Dong or one less of him, the difference isn't that significant.
Partners are different!
Francis was pouring drinks into their empty glasses, but his gaze remained fixed on Chen Dong's face, as if trying to glean something from Chen Dong's expression.
His eyes were sharp as he watched every change in Chen Dong's expression, and he said with a smile.
"Friends from China, let's raise a glass to our upcoming cooperation!"
As they spoke, Francis pushed a glass of wine toward Chen Dong, while he and Sim raised their glasses.
However, to their surprise, Chen Dong's next move was somewhat unexpected...
Chen Dong merely glanced at the wine glass on the table in front of him, without making a move to pick it up.
Instead, he leaned back on the sofa and adjusted his body into an extremely comfortable position.
There's not a trace of negotiation attitude here; they're clearly treating this place like their own home!
In fact, from the moment Chen Dong walked in the door...
The power struggle between him and Francis had already begun.
On the surface.
Francis was amiable and approachable.
To entertain Chen Dong, they even prepared high-end vodka.
This is where Francis's brilliance lies.
He remained silent about the cooperation or the purpose of seeking out Chen Dong. Instead, he used a seemingly high-end glass of vodka to finalize the upcoming collaboration.
There's no such thing as a free lunch.
Leaving aside the profit sharing, quantity, and variety of goods in the cooperation between the two parties...
The personnel costs for transporting the supplies alone are enough to buy hundreds or even thousands of bottles of vodka.
Given this situation, how could Chen Dong possibly agree to drink?
“Mr. Francis, I think we should talk about why you've come to see me first?”
Faced with the overly shrewd Francis, Chen Dong chose to play dumb.
Didn't you want to talk to me about something? Sure!
I came out of respect for you.
Can we discuss cooperation?
That depends on whether I'm willing or not.
This is the attitude that Chen Dong has shown.
In comparison, Moscow alone, a major city, has five free trade markets of similar size.
In terms of strength and background, Francis is not the only option; frankly speaking, Chen Dong has other choices as well.
The worst possible outcome.
It's simply that they can't make it in Chelsea's free agency market, but at least they have other options.
But for Francis...
Having missed out on Chen Dong, finding a natural partner among China's middlemen is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Economic strength, foreign trade companies, train cars... it can be said that all three are indispensable.
More importantly, if there are such people, why would they choose to cooperate with you through barter instead of earning cash?
Although Russia is in a state of chaos right now, it is not yet time for it to disintegrate.
In addition, the ruble appears to be quite strong.
Chen Dong is the only one who can see the future clearly and has a visionary mind!
Chen Dong's series of performances in a short period of time seemed to be very unreasonable.
In fact, this also proves the brilliance of Chen Dong's methods.
One action, one sentence.
This essentially brings the relationship between the two people back to a state of equality.
now.
Francis's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a fierce glint—a subtle expression of his rage.
Whenever this expression appears, it means that his anger has been building up to the point of exploding.
No one has ever dared to disrespect him like this. Anyone who dares to do this has a grave covered in grass that's already two meters long.
The Chinese people before us, however, acted with an air of complete confidence, not only doing it but also making it so obvious.
This made Francis very unhappy.
We don't eat steamed buns as food!
That's absolutely outrageous!
Who does he think he is? The key point is... he can't even lose his temper with Chen Dong, which is quite frustrating.
The anger in Francis's eyes flashed for a moment, then he put on a smiling face and said...
