Rick walked around the office a few times, then smiled and asked the camera, "Mr. Si, Mr. Wang, is this all right?"
Simingda and Wang Mudan quickly replied, "Mr. Rick, that's all right. Thank you! We'd like to take another look at the warehouse, is that okay?"
Gao Huai was worried that Rick might let something slip, so he took over the conversation and said, "Our warehouse is not next to the office. I'll ask other staff to take some photos and send them over later."
"Oh, okay." Wang Mudan had no choice but to agree to Gao Huai's suggestion.
Gao Huai continued to ask: "Mr. Si, Mr. Wang, do you have any other questions?"
In order to prevent Simingda and Wang Mudan from recognizing him, Gao Huai wore a mask throughout the meeting and did not stand up. Most of the time, only half of his face was shown in the camera. Therefore, although they were old classmates, Simingda and Wang Mudan did not recognize his true identity at all.
Si Mingda said, "Regarding the payment method, Mr. Li last discussed a 10% deposit with us, with the balance to be paid by letter of credit. We can accept this clause, but it needs to be clearly stated in the contract. What if there's a dispute over the letter of credit? What will happen to our rights? Cross-border trade is different from domestic business. To avoid any disagreements, we need someone to act as a guarantor for us."
This question stumped Gao Huai. His original intention was to make a fake transaction. If a third party was involved as a guarantor, how would the subsequent transactions proceed?
He thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Si, I understand your concerns about the payment, but this deal is between us. Introducing a third party will not only complicate the contract terms, but also add a lot of unnecessary expenses. I think it's completely unnecessary. If you're worried about the safety of the payment, you can go to our company in Nanyou City for an on-site investigation. Our company has a formal license and all the necessary procedures. What are you worried about? You've been in business for so many years, and you must have cooperated with many trading companies and are familiar with this operating model. Why are you so worried about us?"
Gao Huai's playing hard to get attitude made Simingda feel a little embarrassed. He quickly said with a smile, "Haha, Mr. Wen Xun, I don't doubt you. This is our first transaction, and we want to finalize every detail to avoid any disagreements in the future."
"Don't worry, our company has been operating in Nanyou City for more than ten years. If there are any problems in the future, you can go to Nanyou City and call the police to arrest me."
Gao Huai was worried that Si Mingda would ask more and more questions, so he had to resort to provocation to end the negotiation on the payment as soon as possible.
"Haha, Mr. Wen Xun, you're being too serious. We're businessmen. As long as we do business honestly and legally, there's no need to discuss whether to call the police or not. Okay, that's enough about the payment method. Next, let's talk about samples."
"Okay, go ahead."
"We have arranged to make samples, which will be ready next week. I will then arrange to send them to Nanyou City."
"No problem, as long as the samples are confirmed to be OK, we can place the order quickly."
"Okay, I look forward to your good news."
Under Gao Huai's meticulous planning, Rick just cooperated and said a few words about the sales channel issue. During Gao Huai's conversation with Si Mingda and Wang Mudan, he was just a quiet listener because he didn't understand the subsequent transactions and had no idea how Gao Huai planned it. As long as this batch of goods was shipped to Country G, he could get a large sum of money after being responsible for the sales. He also hoped that the deal could be concluded as soon as possible.
Because Gao Huai's disguise was quite successful and they had not seen each other for more than ten years, Si Mingda and Wang Mudan in front of the camera never dreamed that the so-called Mr. Wen Xun was actually their old classmate.
A week later, Mingdan Company's samples were ready. According to the details discussed with Li Xiaoliang and in the video conference, Simingda planned to send the samples to Li Xiaoliang's company together with the engineers. The reason why he did this was to express his sincerity, but the more important reason was that he wanted to visit YZ Company on the spot to ensure that what "Wen Xun" said in the video conference was true and reliable.
Gao Huai learned from Li Xiaoliang that Simingda was going to deliver samples, so he went to visit the factory. Before leaving, he specifically instructed Li Xiaoliang: "Xiaoliang, when Simingda comes over with samples, you will be responsible for receiving him. As I told you last time, do not mention my name during the communication. If he asks about other colleagues, just say that I went to visit the factory, and you and Xiaoqi will receive them at the company."
Although Li Xiaoliang is young, he has worked in Nanyou City for many years and has relatively rich social experience. He can see that Gao Huai seems to be deliberately avoiding Si Mingda, and he can't help but suspect that they may have known each other for a long time.
"Brother Huai, why don't you want to meet Si Mingda? Did you know each other before?" Li Xiaoliang asked tentatively. In fact, he had already suspected it in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask Gao Huai in person.
Gao Huai was already guilty of his crime. The fact that he, Si Mingda, and Wang Mudan were classmates was like a balloon that could burn at any time, and it was also his biggest concern.
He deliberately frowned and said seriously, "How many times have I told you not to ask questions that you shouldn't ask? Just communicate with him according to my instructions. After the matter is completed, I will give you an extra bonus of 100,000 yuan. Whether I know him or not is none of your business."
"Oh, okay, Brother Huai, I was wrong. Don't worry, I won't mention your name to him."
After Gao Huai repeatedly told Li Xiaoliang the details of the meeting, he hurriedly drove out. In fact, he did not go far, but sat in a cafe opposite the company. He found a seat by the window and could clearly see the whole process of Si Mingda entering the company.
In addition, his office is equipped with a surveillance system that can record audio, so even if he is not in the office, he can clearly grasp every detail of the conversation between Li Xiaoliang and Si Mingda.
