Wu Changfeng shook his head.
Factory Director Sun continued, "Do you remember when we were in Beijing last time, one of the things we did was purchase steel rolling technology from an island nation?"
"Remember, didn't the telecommunications and power companies pool their money for you?"
"Sigh." Factory Director Sun slammed his hand on the table: "We've raised enough money, but those bastards raised the price at the last minute!"
"An additional $30 million!"
Wu Changfeng thought to himself, "Holy crap!"
What the hell does this have to do with me?!
They're always quick to criticize any last-minute price increases. Are business negotiators just sitting around doing nothing?
Wu Changfeng scratched his head and asked, "What's the reason for raising the price?"
Factory Director Sun glared angrily and said, "The reason is that the initial cost estimate was too low and there were problems with the translation of the blueprints."
"That's not a reason, it's extortion!"
"When we first wanted to introduce steel rolling technology, several foreign companies came to negotiate."
"The prices from this island nation are low and affordable, so we haven't even negotiated with other manufacturers."
"Now they're raising prices, and their prices are about the same as other manufacturers'."
"You've been taken advantage of!"
Wu Changfeng gave a wry smile.
Historically, the mainland has suffered a lot in this regard.
This archipelago nation is indeed technologically advanced; their bowing and swaying during negotiations showed genuine sincerity.
Once they get to the final stage, they start cheating.
Despite various price increases under different names, they didn't act arrogantly; instead, they kept apologizing.
I can't even bring myself to curse.
That's the style of island nations; they listen to whatever you say, and after just three sentences, they stand up, bow, and apologize.
Damn, the high rate of herniated discs on the island nation's population is no joke.
But it just can't be transferred at the original price.
It can drive a person crazy.
In the early stages of reform, the mainland suffered quite a bit in this regard.
Wu Changfeng said, "That's all about confronting them! Business people should step up!"
Minister Tang retorted, "You think we don't want it? That island nation's technology is like a rock in a latrine—stinky and hard!"
"This latest steel rolling technology is related to the production of high-end steel in our country."
"The government is urging me to hurry up; look at my hair, it's almost all falling out!"
Wu Changfeng was silent for a moment before asking, "You're not trying to borrow money from me, are you? I have important uses for my US dollars, so let's be clear, I can't lend them to you!"
