Regarding the quote from the president of Putian.
Wu Changfeng almost burst out laughing.
Do you think I'm a victim of injustice?
Holy crap.
Did other buyers from mainland China give you the wrong impression?
This is because of considerations of national relations; otherwise, it would be different.
I'll spit a thousand-year-old phlegm right in your face!
What kind of thing is worth 5 million?
Or in US dollars?
If it were Japanese yen, that would be more like it!
Hikawa-kun looked embarrassed and said, "President Putian, you're joking too much. I hope your negotiations can be more sincere."
The Putian president's face had already turned red, but now it turned even more ashen. His lips twitched, and he tried to speak up to defend himself, but he was stuck there, unable to utter a single word.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally stammered, "My offer is very sincere. If Mr. Wu Changfeng didn't know or understand the difficulties in developing rear axle technology, he certainly wouldn't be laughing."
“They should even think my quote is too low and should add some more.”
Their conversation was in Japanese, which Wu Changfeng couldn't understand.
But when Mr. Hikawa heard President Putian say that, he also had a question mark in his mind.
He knew absolutely nothing about the automotive industry, so he could only shrug and say, "Then you two talk."
The president of Putian was relieved to see that Mr. Hikawa had no objections.
To be honest, this was a deal arranged by Mr. Hikawa.
In other words, it's about attracting customers.
He also charges a consultation fee, which is linked to the transaction amount.
The president of the Putian branch said in English, "Mr. Wu Changfeng, do you think this price is unreasonable?"
Wu Changfeng nodded, then shook his head: "It's very reasonable, but it's not logical."
The R&D cost of this rear axle technology certainly wasn't more than five million.
That's absolutely a lie.
But from a business perspective, who develops technology without the intention of making money?
Selling at a higher price is certainly reasonable.
Even charitable causes cannot operate on a break-even basis, let alone a company whose goal is to make money.
Without profit, how can you talk about survival?
If survival can't even be guaranteed, what's the point of developing new technologies?
From a business perspective, Wu Changfeng agreed with the price quoted by the president of the Putian branch.
but……
We can't look at this from a business perspective now; we have to look at it from the perspective of a garbage dump.
The president of the Putian association was a little confused by Wu Changfeng's words and asked, "If it's reasonable, why isn't it reasonable?"
Wu Changfeng tapped the table and said seriously, "If your company is currently using this technology, then it proves that this technology is valuable and can make money."
"We're all businessmen, and we prioritize profit."
"The fact that you are now leaving this rear axle technology to gather dust in the archives shows that this technology is fundamentally unsuitable for the market."
"Why sell me a technology that can't adapt to the market and can't create value at a high price?"
"Please give me a reason."
The president of Putian cleared his throat: "Actually, it's not that the technology is unsuitable, but rather that it doesn't work in the island nation."
"What a joke." Wu Changfeng said slowly, "Your Chidori Company developed a tricycle specifically for the Japanese, and you claim it's not suitable for the local environment? President Putian, do you know what you're saying?"
Putian also realized there was a flaw in his statement: "Perhaps... the Japanese are just too rich?"
Wu Changfeng generalized directly: "Is everyone a millionaire? There are always poor people, so why can't the tricycles be sold?"
"This..." The president of Putian had never even considered this question.
After the rear axle technology was developed, Chidori also advertised that the load capacity was much higher than before.
However, it still lacked market prospects and failed outright.
Since they had failed, Chidori Company didn't bother to find out why they failed in the market and immediately began to transform.
Putian said, "I cannot answer that question."
Wu Changfeng spread his hands: "Look, even you don't have an answer, yet you want me to pay for it? Do you think that's reasonable?"
The president of the Putian branch smiled instead: "Then, I would like to ask, since you repeatedly belittle rear axle technology, why do you still want to buy it?"
"Knowing it won't make money, you still spend money to buy it. Are you trying to do charity?"
Wu Changfeng shook his head: "Whether I make money or not has nothing to do with Qianniao Company. What you are doing is trying to sell a piece of garbage technology for an exorbitant price, which is unacceptable to me."
"If you want to recoup your losses, please give me a reasonable price."
Instead of answering the question directly, the president of Putian pressed Wu Changfeng, asking, "Can this technology make money in mainland China? I really can't figure out why it would."
"As far as I know, there are also tricycles in mainland China, but their sales are not good either."
Wu Changfeng chuckled to himself: These islanders are really stubborn!
Indeed, sales of tricycles in mainland China are dismal.
That's because the load-bearing capacity is practically useless.
If we bring back Chidori's rear axle technology, we can leverage its convenient integration and cost advantages.
This perfectly meets the needs of rural and urban areas for short-distance freight transportation.
In particular, large-scale infrastructure construction is about to begin in mainland China.
Three-wheeled vehicles have found their place in the market.
That's definitely takeoff!
Even in later generations, not only in rural areas, but also in first- and second-tier cities, you can still see tricycles!
Wu Changfeng reiterated: Whether you make money or not is none of your business; just keep giving me quotes.
The president of the Putian branch couldn't find out Wu Changfeng's true intentions.
He could only shrug and say, "Four million, how about that?"
Wu Changfeng shook his head: "I don't want to hear the word 'million'."
