Chapter 24 Bullshit!
The three of them, DeJack ... and DeJack, got together to discuss the matter.
Then, he raised his chin and said to Su Meng, "We accept 30% of the domestic marketing profits."
However, a technology entry fee of $450,000 must be included in the equipment price, and the resale ratio must be no less than 50% of the annual output.
Otherwise, cooperation is out of the question.
He remained as tough, greedy, shameless, and arrogant as ever.
Su Meng relayed the information quickly and directly, even her tone was in sync.
The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Chief Jiang scoffed, leaned forward, placed his hands clasped on the table, and glanced at the smug DeJack and his two companions. "Bullshit!"
The smiles on the faces of DeJack and the other two froze instantly.
After a moment of surprise, his face was filled with anger.
DeJack, in particular, angrily slammed his hand on the table, "Do you still want to cooperate? A bunch of bastards, full of pipe dreams..."
Su Meng hoped that Chief Jiang's words would be fulfilled and that the negotiations would be successfully completed today.
She also wanted to go to Guangzhou as soon as possible to pick up the batch of supplies that Shen Wuyang had sent out.
Su Meng boldly slammed her hand on the table and stood up, pointing and cursing back before De Jack could finish speaking, "Mr. De Jack, you are so rude."
Since you call us "red bastards," then I can only return the favor by calling you "white trash."
I'm just an ordinary citizen, but I know I shouldn't act like a shrew in such an important setting.
It seems you lack the sincerity of Demon Company.
She emphasized "Demon Company" and said it in a foreign language.
DeJack and the other two had their pupils shrink, staring at Su Meng for a long while before huddling together and whispering amongst themselves in confusion.
For no other reason than that Demon Company was their number one competitor.
The two companies were almost irreconcilable enemies in Europe.
DeJack led his team to the Chinese market ahead of others, hoping to get rid of the troublesome DeMeng Company and secretly take a bite out of the big pie in China.
But he never expected to hear the name of the Dermon Company here.
But having navigated the business world for decades, he wouldn't lose his composure over a single sentence.
They need to verify this themselves and also want to discuss follow-up matters with the parent company.
Commander Jiang naturally agreed to their request for a break at halftime.
Wang Hui and the others didn't understand why the arrogant DeJack and his two companions would suddenly ask to rest, and they all looked at Su Meng.
After explaining the connection between DeJack's company and DeMeng's company, Su Meng solemnly said, "I met Mr. Rima, one of the heads of DeMeng's company, from afar yesterday."
Leaders, please rest assured, I used to work at Demon Company, so I certainly won't mistake you.
Their two companies are competitors; I think I can take advantage of that.
All's fair in war, and this does not violate the spirit of business.
Chief Jiang casually ordered, "Go and investigate."
Five minutes later, the guard returned and whispered something in Chief Jiang's ear.
Chief Jiang's hands, which had been tightly clenched on the table, naturally loosened, and his eyes shone like stars.
He looked at Su Meng with approval, his expression becoming even gentler.
"It has been confirmed that Mr. Rima, the head of Demon Company, is indeed in Shanghai and has expressed his desire to discuss matters with us through the embassy."
Comrade Xiao Su is quick-witted, bold, intelligent, and perceptive; you did a great job!
Su Meng smiled modestly, "Thank you for the compliment, Chief. It's what I should do."
Wang Hui gave Su Meng a thumbs up, "You've opened a favorable negotiation channel for us! Commander, I think we can reach an agreement smoothly today."
"Xiao Su, just wait for the commander's reward!"
Chief Jiang smiled and pointed at Wang Hui a few times, then looked at several city leaders, saying, "Comrades as clever and capable as Comrade Su Meng must be vigorously cultivated, and we must not let her suffer any injustice."
The city leaders echoed their agreement and looked at Su Meng with approval.
The director of the municipal office stepped forward under everyone's gaze, saying, "The Su family are red capitalists, and they should not be among those who are cutting off the capitalist tail."
This might be a mistake; we'll have someone re-verify it in a bit.
Hearing these words with her own ears made Su Meng even more excited than when she was receiving her graduation certificate on the podium at university.
She no longer had to live in constant fear that the quarrying committee might arrest her and send her to the countryside or the countryside at the slightest provocation.
There's no need to worry about those people harassing Grandma or taking away Grandpa's house.
She stood up, tears welling in her eyes, and bowed three times at a 90-degree angle, saying, "Thank you, sir! Thank you, leaders!"
I will certainly live up to the high expectations of my superiors and leaders, and contribute my utmost to the construction of our motherland.
After expressing their gratitude, it was time for the meeting again.
Now that a competitor has arrived, the advantage has shifted to our side.
Su Meng conveyed the plan discussed by Chief Jiang and Wang Hui, "Our requirements are a maximum technical entry fee of 250,000 yuan, to be paid off in five years, and a 38% repurchase rate."
If you agree, we'll sign the contract immediately.
Upon hearing Su Meng's translation, De Jack became so angry that his face turned red.
"You... our lowest bottom line is a technical entry fee of US$280,000, with a resale ratio of 45%."
Otherwise, we can cooperate in another region.
He started making threats too.
He thought that even if it were Demon Company, the bottom price would probably be the same.
Moreover, if Shanghai wants to restore its former prosperity and move closer to international modernization, it certainly won't be willing to give up cooperation, nor will it want other provinces to surpass it and take the lead in aligning with international standards.
They crossed their arms and leaned back in their chairs, looking completely confident of victory.
With the approval of Chief Jiang and Wang Hui, Su Meng calmly relayed, "I'm sorry! We insist on our original conditions."
As for your suggestion to discuss cooperation in another location, I'm sorry, Mr. DeJack…
Su Meng pointed to Chief Jiang at the head of the table and said with a smile, "This is the highest-ranking officer in our military region. As long as he gives the order, you'll get the same price wherever you go."
Furthermore, he can decide whether you can successfully invest in China.
She deliberately altered Wang Hui's statement, "the highest-ranking officer of the Shanghai Military Region," to "the highest-ranking officer of our military region."
Thus, DeJack and others came to understand that Chief Jiang was the highest-ranking military officer in China.
Their expressions changed drastically, and their imposing aura visibly dissipated.
Panic!
I was terrified!
DeJack quickly composed himself and gave Chief Jiang a fawning smile, "Please give me two minutes."
Afterwards, the three of them huddled together and whispered for a while.
DeJack stood up and respectfully extended his hand to Chief Jiang, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you!"
Chief Jiang raised an eyebrow, straightened his back, and shook hands with him, saying, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you!"
Wang Hui secretly gave Su Meng a thumbs up, "Little girl, your language skills are pretty good!"
Only then did Su Meng realize that her clothes were soaked with sweat, and she patted her chest in lingering fear.
Nie Rongchang glanced at her, led her out of the conference room, and teased, "What, are you scared already?"
I see you being incredibly witty and quick-witted, yet you don't seem flustered at all.
Great! It went much more smoothly than we expected, thank you!
Su Meng smiled and shook her head, "I didn't do anything, it's all thanks to the leaders' excellent leadership. I also want to thank Brother Nie for his help, thank you!"
She knew that this opportunity to appear in front of the leaders was entirely Nie Rongchang's doing.
Otherwise, in such a vast city as Shanghai, there would never have been a chance for an unknown young girl to stand at such a high-level business negotiation table.
She works so hard because she wants a peaceful life.
With the leaders' words, it's believed that some members of the quarrying committee will no longer keep an eye on her, and she will have enough space and time to find her father and younger brother.
Nie Rongchang chuckled: "Truly worthy of being a member of the Su family! From now on, you can live a peaceful life without worrying about those land division committees."
