Inside the chairman's office in the headquarters building, General Manager Liang briefly explained the situation, while General Manager Zhang Zhongmou and General Manager Cai sat there with gloomy expressions.
This huge order might really be going to fall through.
"Are you sure the documents you saw don't contain any problems? I have a feeling something's not right about this," Mr. Cai said suspiciously, looking at Zhang Zhongmou. "If we really contacted Texas Instruments, they should know, right?"
Zhang Zhongmou hasn't been with Texas Instruments for many years, and now he can only contact some friends. If Nokia were involved, he might not have been able to find out.
“I quoted him 190, but he was unmoved.” Mr. Liang frowned and said, “Moreover, he told me that he had already booked a flight to Finland for tomorrow and would be leaving tomorrow.”
"Isn't this too hasty?" Mr. Cai sat down and pondered for a while before saying, "It feels like they're putting pressure on us, pressing us step by step. Anyway, I don't think it's real. How could he possibly buy Texas Instruments' products so easily?"
Mr. Cai's intuition was correct, but now they didn't have time to question so much. They had to get this order. At this moment, all three of them were in a state of confusion. If they offered a low price to win back the deal, what kind of price would Kuntai be willing to pay?
In one afternoon, Mr. Liang made four or five phone calls, trying to persuade Lu Feng from various angles, and even lowered the price to one hundred and eighty US dollars. Lu Feng seemed determined and unwilling to talk more. On the phone, Lu Feng said that it was mainly because they were not sincere, and he hated people who lied to him the most.
In the evening, General Manager Liang hosted a dinner party. Zhang Zhongmou called Zhang Rujing again, asking him to persuade Kuntai to lower the price. This order was very important to them, as it was the first step for the company to go global. If even a company like this didn't want them, who on earth would buy their products?
Zhang Rujing wasn't friendly on the phone either. He was already annoyed by Zhang's questioning of how Zhang had helped Kuntai find someone from Texas Instruments. If Zhang Zhongmou hadn't called to plead for him, he would never have gone.
During dinner, Lu Feng was given a lot of alcohol, while President Liang sat next to him and talked non-stop, with Zhang Rujing occasionally chiming in.
But Lu Feng was like a sow biting someone, refusing to let go.
The price dropped to $175, but by 10:30 p.m., Lu Feng was still shaking his head, saying he needed to rest because he had to catch a flight the next day.
This was destined to be a sleepless night for Mr. Liang and his team. They smoked pack after pack of cigarettes, and finally made a decision in the early hours of the morning: one last gamble, at a price of one hundred and fifty US dollars, which was the closest they could get to cost.
Lu Feng also couldn't sleep well. He was worried that he might have messed up. This was a game for the brave. He knew that his opponent couldn't afford to lose, but his opponent didn't know that he couldn't afford to lose either.
As long as Mr. Liang doesn't come to the airport to chase after me tomorrow, this trick will be quickly exposed, and the initiative will return to the other party's hands.
At six o'clock in the morning, Lu Feng arrived at the breakfast restaurant with sleepy eyes and ate his breakfast alone. Zhu Lidong and Liu Cheng arrived late at seven o'clock. They saw that Lu Feng's eyes were slightly red, obviously because he hadn't slept well last night.
They could tell that Lu Feng valued this order very much.
"Pack your things, we're leaving right away. Put on your makeup a little heavier, you've been a bit lax about it these past few days." Lu Feng glanced at the two of them, then stood up and left.
At eight o'clock, Lu Feng called Zhang Rujing, only saying that he was leaving, and then got into his car and headed straight for the airport. When President Liang arrived, he found no one there and was extremely anxious. He immediately called Zhang Zhongmou.
Zhang Zhongmou on the other end of the phone also became anxious and said, "Stop them. We can lower the price to one hundred and fifty US dollars. Call Zhang Rujing and have him come to the airport with us. I'll be there shortly."
Lu Feng and his group were so resolute that they no longer cared about the truth. If it were true, the consequences would be unbearable for them, and who knew where the next company would be willing to choose them?
Based on the development of the previous life, they really couldn't sell them, and in the end, they had no choice but to sell them in Huaqiangbei, Shenzhen, through wholesale and retail.
Inside the airport VIP lounge, Lu Feng checked the time and asked Zhu Lidong in a low voice, "Is everything arranged?"
"Don't worry, everyone here is someone we've arranged." Zhu Lidong glanced around.
This is a business charter flight with a total of 35 people, all arranged by Zhu Lidong. More than 20 people have already arrived at the scene. The plane will take off in 40 minutes. Ground staff are providing various services and arranging for passengers to board one after another.
"Sir, please prepare to board."
Lu Feng stood up, straightened his clothes, and slowly walked towards the boarding gate. Suddenly, President Liang rushed in, explaining to the staff that he was looking for someone. When he saw Lu Feng, he hurriedly called out, "Mr. Kuntai, please wait a moment, we can talk again."
Lu Feng turned around and looked at him, who was covered in sweat and had obviously run in. He said, "We've talked too many times already. There's no need for this pointless conversation."
"Please give me ten minutes. Our company is very sincere this time. Don't worry, it will only take ten minutes." General Manager Liang said hurriedly, "Our chairman will be here soon. The price can be lowered. Lowering the price again will show our sincerity and is also a punishment for the unpleasant things that happened before..."
"Excuse me, the plane is about to take off. I'll say it again: in business, sincerity is essential!" Lu Feng gave him a cold look, then turned around to board the plane.
He glanced at Zhu Lidong, who immediately understood. There were six or seven men in suits standing not far away, seemingly preparing to board the plane. Zhu Lidong smiled at them and waved slightly.
