"After looking at our products, Mr. Kuntai, what is your thought price for each item?" Zhang Zhongmou asked Lu Feng.
“Is it inappropriate for me to make an offer?” Lu Feng knew that the other party just wanted to test his price range. After pondering for a while, he said, “I don’t have much money on hand. For the first batch of products, I hope to be competitive in terms of finished product price. It would be best if the unit price could be 150 US dollars.”
"Impossible!" President Cai objected immediately, his expression grim. "One hundred and fifty US dollars? You can't even get it at cost price. You won't find such a low price anywhere in the world. If you're here to pick up bargains, let me tell you, there are no bargains to be found here. This price will never be approved here. Since President Liang is so eager to sign the contract, you might as well let me resign first!"
"Then resign. The company doesn't need you. Don't be so short-sighted. Think long-term. We're not doing business for a day; we're looking for the most suitable partners globally in the long term," Mr. Liang retorted.
"Since you have such a long-term vision, why not sell them for one dollar? How long-term is your vision? He orders a million units at a time. Have you ever calculated how many mobile phones are shipped globally? With his current approach, can he sell a million units until your grandson gets married and then place another order?" President Cai said without any restraint, turning to Zhang Zhongmou and saying, "Chairman, if President Liang insists on doing this, I can't stay here any longer. I'm the one who spearheaded this project, and now the people in the marketing department are interfering, which is targeting me personally."
"Targeting you personally? What's wrong with me targeting you? Look at your short-sightedness. I'm trying to help you. Once the product is released, it will attract more manufacturers to come and talk. Besides, Mr. Kuntai is my brother. If we're going to cooperate long-term, we should show sincerity. With your limited vision, I'm not going to continue." President Liang scolded.
"Who's short-sighted?" President Cai was furious. He stood up, pointed at President Liang, and shouted, "You have to apologize to me, Gan Lin's mother. Believe me or not, I'll beat you so badly your own mother wouldn't recognize you!"
"Are you afraid of me?"
The two stood up and started pushing each other. Seeing this, Zhang Rujing hurriedly tried to break them up. Lu Feng glanced at Zhang Zhongmou and saw that the other man was sitting there calmly, glancing in his direction. Lu Feng quickly looked away, stood up, and pulled President Liang aside, saying, "Let's not hurt each other's feelings. Let's talk things over slowly."
“What I can’t stand the most is this kind of person. They don’t understand the market, but they insist on meddling in it. Doing things with someone like that is like torture.” President Liang turned to Lu Feng and said, “It’s not entirely for your sake, I just can’t stand it.”
The scene was quite chaotic, adding an annoying disturbance to the peaceful teahouse. Zhang Zhongmou couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Alright, stop making a scene here. Let's resolve any conflicts internally. Everyone, sit down!"
Mr. Liang and Mr. Cai sat down, looking rather displeased. Zhang Zhongmou looked at Lu Feng and said, "Mr. Kuntai, I'm sorry to have made you laugh. We can discuss the price, but $150 is indeed a bit hard to accept. However, this is the first batch of products, and we still want to make a good start. It's getting late, so let's discuss it internally in a couple of days and talk about it then."
"Okay, I hope we can reach a cooperation agreement. I believe it will be a good start." Seeing that the other party had no intention of inviting them to stay for dinner, the group drank a lot of tea and then went downstairs.
Lu Feng got into the car and headed straight for the hotel. President Liang and President Cai stood there looking at Zhang Zhongmou. They were exhausted this afternoon.
"Go and verify those reports about him in Thailand, and do a thorough background check," Zhang Zhongmou instructed.
"We should be able to find out most of it within two days. Sompa should be easy to find out. Starting with him will make things much simpler," Mr. Liang muttered.
Zhang Rujing stood aside, feeling anxious. He wondered if Lu Feng had made the arrangements. As the rubber tycoon of Thailand, he was indeed a very high target. A little inquiry with Lu Feng or his associates would be enough to find out if this nephew was even there.
An hour later, Lu Feng returned to the hotel and soon received a call from Zhang Rujing.
"They're going to do a background check. How's the arrangement in Thailand? It would be best to contact that Sompha; they want to start with him."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
Lu Feng hung up the phone, sat on the sofa, looked at Liu Cheng and Zhu Lidong across from him, lit a cigarette, and slowly said, "What I need right now is a Thai daddy!"
