Translator: Hao Jian, Leader.
All three were baffled by Wu Changfeng's negotiation style.
He'd send guests away at the slightest disagreement.
Have you considered the consequences of your pretentious behavior?
Losing US dollars for the sake of saving face is a serious crime!
Factory Director Hao felt that although Wu Changfeng had unique ideas, he was still too young, and advised him:
"Hey bro, wait a minute. You can't just chase foreigners away like that!"
One of the leaders said, "When friends come from afar, what's the next line? You need to be more enthusiastic."
Wu Changfeng waved his hand: "When friends come from afar, we cook goose in an iron pot."
The leader was so angry that he kept coughing.
Wu Changfeng pointed at Mike, then said to the three of them, "Look, he didn't leave either, he can't even lift his butt up."
"In other words, he thoroughly enjoyed the negotiation process."
Factory Director Hao was startled again. Mike had indeed not left, and even seemed very interested in challenging Wu Changfeng.
Damn, I learned something new!
Next time any foreigner starts spouting nonsense, I'll send them away too!
Wu Changfeng then continued speaking to Mike: "From what I understand, electric toothbrushes are priced at around $300 overseas."
"I don't have any particular intentions, I just want to be friends with you."
"Name your price..."
Wu Changfeng extended his finger.
Mike watched with a calm expression.
"$280 each!"
Mike's face lit up with surprise, and he opened his arms wide: "Oh my god! My friend, at this price, aren't you losing money hand over fist?"
“No, no.” Mike shook his head and said seriously, “I can’t watch you go bankrupt. Otherwise, God will punish me. I’ll give you $500 a bottle!”
"I'll add more if that's not enough! Don't be shy!"
Wu Changfeng felt a little embarrassed.
Damn, this Mike is a player who doesn't play by the rules!
You didn't try to bargain, and you even raised the price?
I underestimated you!
Factory Director Hao anxiously asked the translator, "How's it going? How did the price negotiation go?"
The translator gasped, "I... I can't explain this!"
The leader said, "Just translate, what do you need to explain?"
The translator scratched his head: "This is really weird! Wu Changfeng asked for $280, but Mike thought it was too little and wanted to give $500! He even asked for more!"
Factory Director Hao fell directly to the ground.
Confused, he asked, "Are you kidding me with this translation? Not only do you not try to negotiate, but you're raising the price? Even my own father wouldn't do that!"
The translator, stunned, said, "I absolutely didn't translate it wrong! Mike is going to raise the price! What's wrong with this world? I don't understand!"
Factory Director Hao looked at his superior and said, "Sir, you are a man of great experience and wisdom. What's going on? Why don't I ever encounter such good fortune?"
The leader was taken aback: "I...I must admit, the foreigner's brain must be a complete mess!"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Neither of them could understand what the other was doing.
Either Mike is sick, or Wu Changfeng is sick.
Either the other three people present are sick.
In short, there's definitely one of them that's unhealthy.
No normal person would do something so outrageous.
Wu Changfeng smiled at the negotiating table: "Mr. Mike, this is not funny at all."
Mike said calmly, "The point is you started the joke."
"Alright, alright." Wu Changfeng shrugged. "Then name your price."
"30 US dollars!"
Wu Changfeng wanted to curse, but held back his anger: "Isn't that too expensive? My friend, you can't make much money at this price."
"In this way, I'll even pay you out of my own pocket. Not only will you not have to pay a single penny, but for every one you buy, I'll give you $500!"
"For no other reason than to bring benefits to the people of America!"
"Not enough, I'll add more!"
Mike paused briefly, then slapped the table and burst into laughter.
Factory Director Hao asked, "What's Mike laughing about? Did you reach an agreement on the price?"
The translator cursed, "If this deal goes through, the entire inland area will be given to the Americans as compensation!"
"Huh?" Factory Director Hao asked, "What do you mean?"
The translator explained, "Mike was asking for $30. Wu Changfeng thought Mike wouldn't make much money, so he not only wanted to give him away for free, but also pay him $500!"
"Grass!"
Factory Director Hao immediately put on a resolute expression: "This guy is really unacceptable, he's a total rip-off!"
The leader nudged Wu Changfeng and whispered, "Be serious."
The boss knew that the "paying out of pocket" part was definitely a joke.
Even people with intellectual disabilities wouldn't do this.
After some initial probing, the two sides officially got into the swing of things.
Wu Changfeng said, "I'll offer a rock-bottom price, $230 a bottle."
Mike frowned: "No, that's too high. $180."
The $230 was a price Wu Changfeng had carefully considered.
The price in overseas markets is around $300.
After deducting shipping costs, customs duties, etc., Walmart can earn more than $60.
In terms of profit margins for home appliances, it's just barely passing.
But for Mike, it was humiliating to only earn a passing grade after making one attempt!
Compared to Walmart, they practically want to generate 1000% profit on a single item!
This is the kind of purchasing manager who is the ace of the purchasing department.
Wu Changfeng said, "230 US dollars is really not high. I'll use your 180 US dollars as an example."
"Look, these four FM frequencies of mine are currently unique in the world. Aren't they worth $40?"
Mike fiddled with the electric toothbrush and then said, "What's the use? Isn't this just the vibration mode?"
Wu Changfeng said, "This is multifunctional! It's a psychological suggestion; this vibration mode whitens teeth and protects gums. If you're not a professional, wouldn't you be tempted?"
