Ji Xia smiled. Is the customer necessarily God?
Today, she wants to use practical actions to tell the Chinese people that no matter whether it is the seller or the buyer, the one with strength is the king.
"Of course we understand that customers are God!" Ji Xia said with a smile.
George and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and Raymond was also somewhat happy. "Ms. Ji Xia, it's good that you understand this principle. We can discuss the price later."
Ji Xia nodded. "If you want to customize it, that's fine too. A customized engine is $100,000, and a gearbox is $200,000."
How is this possible? This is higher than the price of a whole car. The expressions of Raymond and others suddenly changed, and Zeng Guanghua and others looked at Ji Xia in confusion, but everyone's heart was beating very fast. One engine costs one hundred thousand US dollars, and 10,000 units are exported a year, which is also one billion US dollars.
Although the price of machine tools is high, the demand for them is far less than that for cars, which also leads to low sales.
However, one machine tool is worth hundreds of cars, which is something cars cannot compare to.
Ah, it makes me excited just thinking about it, Bing County is simply the leading foreign exchange earner in the country.
Just as the people in Bing County were daydreaming, Raymond slammed the table and said, "Ms. Ji Xia, I don't think you are sincere about cooperating with us!"
"No, we are sincere!" Ji Xia said, "How can the price of a hamburger be compared with that of a French meal? Do you think the price of a custom meal should be the same as that of a casual meal?
Mr. Raymond, we respect you as our guests, but if you take advantage of your status as a guest and make unreasonable demands in China, we will not be able to entertain you!"
Ji Xia's face was very calm, and her tone was also calm, but the Americans could not accept it, because it was as if she was stating a fact that the Chinese might drive them away. If so, how could the Americans save their face?
But China doesn't care, they are strong enough.
"Ms. Ji Xia, I think you don't have the final say on this issue!" Raymond laughed. "You said you were just a scientific researcher. Our country's visit is a diplomatic matter, and business cooperation with China is a business matter..."
Ji Xia also smiled, and she suddenly stood up and left.
Seeing this, all the people from Bing County, from top to bottom, left. After they left, the entire conference room became empty, with only Xu Jinpeng and Liang Qingjun left.
Fu Siyan had already accompanied the US leader and his wife back to Beijing, leaving Liang Qingjun here to coordinate some issues.
Raymond was dumbfounded when he saw it, and the representatives of various American companies who came with him to seek business cooperation also looked at Raymond with condemning eyes, "You idiot, if you don't know how to speak, don't speak. Now look, everyone has been taken away, who can you talk to?"
Raymond pointed outside the door and said angrily, "Mr. Xu, your people are simply going too far. You call yourselves a country of etiquette, but is this how you treat distinguished guests from afar?"
Xu Jinpeng was very troubled. "Mr. Raymond, I really hope that our two countries can reach as many bilateral agreements as possible. This will do more harm than good to the development of both countries, but before that, I hope your country can show real sincerity.
At the negotiation table, we can discuss the facts, but please refrain from making personal attacks!"
Raymond directly denied it, saying, "I did not make any personal attacks on Ms. Ji Xia. My status does not allow me to make such a disrespectful move."
Liang Qingjun said, "That's the best! Ms. Ji Xia doesn't have much time to begin with. If things continue to go wrong and she wastes time on verbal disputes at the negotiation table, I'm afraid your country won't be able to complete this business mission."
Ron said hurriedly, "I'm sorry, we don't want this result. We just want to fight for more of our own interests."
"That's right, but obviously, there is something wrong with the attitude of your people," Raymond said.
Liang Qingjun smiled and said, "Mr. Raymond, please do not question Ms. Ji Xia's identity. This is a state visit, and we will definitely not arrange an unequal dialogue with your country.
In fact, Ms. Ji Xia did not have time to participate in these activities, and it was your country's strong request that she be included in the list."
What he meant was that you guys are not qualified to talk to Teacher Ji Xia. If you weren't so thick-skinned and were not for forcing people to buy or sell, Teacher Ji Xia wouldn't even bother talking to you.
Raymond's expression was grim, but at this point, he had no choice but to bow his head. "I'm deeply sorry for my behavior today. Mr. Xu, Ms. Liang, besides Ms. Ji Xia, can you send someone else to discuss this cooperation with us?"
Xu Jinpeng said, "You have already seen what happened yesterday. If Ms. Ji Xia was not here, the progress would probably be very slow."
Yesterday, there was basically no progress, and the Americans looked down on this and that, and repeatedly demanded dialogue with Ji Xia.
Today, the person came, but was driven away by just a few words.
Raymond was puzzled. "Since this is a state visit and has reached the diplomatic level, why is Ms. Ji Xia so... unsupportive?"
I dare not say that Ji Xia is impolite.
Xu Jinpeng was at a loss for words and looked at Liang Qingjun, who smiled and said, "I think any bilateral dialogue would involve assessing the other party's strength and then taking appropriate countermeasures. I don't think Mr. Raymond has any interest in having a bilateral conversation with a three-year-old, right?"
Today's scene deeply shocked Liang Qingjun. The United States' arrogant and humble behavior made her realize that China is no longer poor. We have powerful military force and have shown our muscles to the earth. Our industrial development is at the forefront of the world, and even the United States has to bow its head and buy products from us.
So why should we show weakness?
Why can’t we be strong?
Raymond said unhappily, "Do you think the United States is a three-year-old child?"
Liang Qingjun was not intimidated. "No, sir, I was just making an analogy. How can a country be like a three-year-old child? The United States is very powerful, and everyone knows it. Even if China is powerful, at least for now, we have never been to the moon!"
When Liang Qingjun was chatting with Ji Xia, Ji Xia mentioned that the US's moon landing plan had impure motives. Although the US released some pictures, it was still a question whether it had actually landed on the moon.
Sure enough, when the topic of landing on the moon was brought up, Raymond's expression became strange and he was speechless.
Ron was eager to order China's powertrain, mainly because he wanted to see how big the gap was between himself and China. This was his main task in coming to China.
"Ms. Liang, Mr. Xu, we'd like to ask you to mediate. We have many questions for Ms. Ji Xia from your country, and we'd also like to continue our powertrain cooperation project. I'm truly sorry, but I'd like to ask Ms. Ji Xia to give us another chance."
He bowed!
