When Xing Baohua finished stating the fee of ten million US dollars, Reading was completely dumbfounded.
Is this how it's calculated?
Xing Baohua learned this trick from the Japanese: equipment is equipment, software is software, and if you want after-sales service later, you have to pay for it.
"Didn't you agree on five million? How come you're asking for ten million now? Xing, one shouldn't be too greedy," Redding said angrily.
“Yes! I just told you, the patent fee for the wireless transmission device is five million US dollars. That’s absolutely right! You can just take the patent for this device!” Xing Baohua said with a shrug.
"Okay!" Redding felt like Xing Baohua had tricked him. He needed to go back and renegotiate the strategy with his teammates.
"Reding, let me warn you beforehand, my wireless setup requires my software to function. I'm worried about compatibility with other software, and what about the network card!"
Xing Baohua's words made Ruide pause slightly; it was clearly a bundled sales tactic.
Reading thought to himself viciously, "Damn incompatibility."
They went to the other side to discuss the new problems that had arisen on Xing Baohua's side with Bob and Radcliffe.
Taking the opportunity, Director Jiang walked up to Xing Baohua and asked, "What direction is your factory mainly developing in? I just heard them say they want to buy your products. What kind of products are worth buying?"
Xing Baohua thought for a moment and said, "Development direction? Our factory mainly focuses on the research and development of high-tech products. What they want to buy are basically high-tech products as well."
Director Jiang felt lonely asking the question; he was better than anyone at spouting bureaucratic jargon, but Xing Baohua wasn't wrong either.
Ericsson's people then had to go back, and Reading also told Xing Baohua that there would be a meeting at the city hotel the next day, and to wait for his call.
Xing Baohua breathed a sigh of relief after seeing everyone off. He had only asked for an exorbitant amount because he saw that a big shot from Ericsson was coming.
Besides, there's no fixed price when buying things; bargaining is normal.
Business negotiations aren't something that can be resolved in a day or two. Have you ever seen negotiations that take one or two years?
Of course, that's because their work efficiency is low. Xing Baohua wanted to be faster, but unfortunately, he didn't have the final say.
After the foreigners and city leaders left, the town leaders stayed.
The two leadership teams in the town took this opportunity to thoroughly examine Xing Baohua.
I hadn't paid much attention to this factory before. If I hadn't received a call from the city government office, I wouldn't have known there was such a promising factory in the area.
As the name suggests, the electronics factory produces electronics. It's a village-run enterprise affiliated with Shangguzhuang Village Committee. Today, they pulled a fast one, bringing in foreign guests for an inspection.
In the past, we would go abroad to inspect other people's products, but now foreigners are coming to inspect ours. Whether they are buying things or learning, this is something the town should take seriously.
The town's high-ranking official was surnamed Wang and named Wang Kai. He was not yet forty years old.
When shaking hands with Xing Baohua, he said politely, "Little Xing! It's all because the town hasn't taken good care of you! If you have any difficulties, the town will definitely find a way to help you."
"Thank you, Secretary Wang, but I'm not having any difficulties right now. If there are any difficulties, they're just difficulties encountered during development," Xing Baohua said politely.
"Could you tell me what hidden difficulties might arise in the future, so I can be prepared?" Secretary Wang asked.
“Land. To expand production, you need enough land,” Xing Baohua said.
“You’ve only just started your factory, and you’re already short of capacity? I see your scale is quite large now!” Secretary Wang said.
Xing Baohua surveyed the area and thought to himself, "This Party Secretary probably doesn't know that Party Secretary Huang just gave us a few acres of land."
The original straw rope factory looked quite large, but with the addition of more buildings, it felt small. Therefore, Secretary Wang and Xing Baohua were not on the same page.
Xing Baohua couldn't explain it to him right now. He just mentioned that the next expansion project needed bricks, cement, sand, etc., and hoped the town could help provide some of it.
Secretary Wang said that all of these were easy to discuss.
After the people in town left.
Xing Baohua returned to his office and finished organizing the materials he had prepared over the past few days.
Let's see if Zou Wenjuan, who's not currently working, can be brought in as a temporary secretary. And Xiao Bo, and while we're at it, let's call Liu Quan in too, to form a negotiation team.
No one else matters; only momentum and numbers are essential.
During the negotiations, he was surrounded by foreigners, all by himself? Even having a secretary who was just for show would be better than being alone!
Xing Baohua now tells Zou Wenjuan that from now on, she will temporarily serve as his secretary.
"Aren't you insulting me? Look at what's in this document!" Zou Wenjuan said to Xing Baohua, taking out a document from her bag.
"There's nothing in the documents! It's just documents!" Xing Baohua looked them over and saw nothing wrong.
“It’s not a big deal. I’m your secretary. I can’t understand any of the documents, I only know a few words. How can I be your secretary? Isn’t that insulting?” Zou Wenjuan said, pointing to the documents that were all written in gibberish.
“You don’t need to understand it. Just carry the bag and buy a women’s suit. You can just hold the bag to your chest when you’re not in a hurry,” Xing Baohua said.
“I don’t have money to buy clothes! Besides, aren’t work uniforms provided by the company?” Zou Wenjuan said with a stern face.
“Okay! The company will provide it.” Zou Wenjuan’s reasoning was quite compelling. During this period, company uniforms were indeed issued.
Xing Baohua instructed Liu Quan and Xiao Bo to meet him at the city hotel at eight o'clock the next day. Afterwards, he took Zou Wenjuan to the city hotel.
After arranging a room for Zou Wenjuan at the front desk, I told her to go and rest or go out to buy some clothes, and I would reimburse her later. I also gave her my room number so she could call me if she needed anything, and then I drove off.
I'll go home first and find a decent outfit to wear. Then I'll go to the factory to print some things.
