Chapter 423: It's a bit of a bully
Facing the frustrated crowd, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "It's normal for both parties to disagree in business negotiations."
"It would be fine if it was just a simple disagreement, but they are clearly bullying me."
A young technician standing next to Zhuang Wuying said indignantly, "We had clearly agreed on a price, but they suddenly doubled it for no apparent reason, and they also asked us to buy their auxiliary production line that was almost abandoned."
"They said we should buy it together. If we can't accept the bundled sale, they won't sell it to us."
"This is clearly bullying us!" The young man's words immediately ignited the anger of several technicians.
Although they came out for a stroll, they were also very angry.
The things that were agreed upon before they came, after they arrived, not only did they raise the price, but they also arbitrarily added useless scraps, and in the end they acted as if you were the one who got the benefit by being able to sell it to you, and they were arrogant and condescending.
As a technician, before they came, they all understood how hard it was to earn foreign exchange.
The subsidy for each of them is only one US dollar a day.
And now, the other party has made a huge request, more than doubling the negotiated amount. It simply shows that they do not regard them as equally matched partners.
even……
Cheng Xuyuan had already heard the cause and effect of the matter from the words of these technicians.
What Xingzhou Chemical General Plant wants to introduce is a production line for producing fertilizers. After hearing the model just mentioned by Zhuang Wuying and others, Cheng Xuyuan thought about it in his memory and found an introduction to this production line in a book he had read in his previous life.
No, it should be said that it also includes the introduction of its various upgrade types.
I don’t know how I had read such a book in the library in my previous life.
He probably just picked it up and took a look at it, but after his rebirth, this book appeared in his mind very clearly.
After understanding the situation of this production line that was about to be eliminated, Cheng Xuyuan had the urge to help Zhuang Wuying and others.
It's not just because they came here together, but they really don't want to see the foreign exchange they have accumulated with great effort being swallowed up like this.
In a flash, Cheng Xuyuan said to Zhuang Wuying, "Brother Zhuang, let's go to my place and sit down first."
Zhuang Wuying and others were full of curiosity about this magnificent Plaza Hotel.
Hearing Cheng Xuyuan's words at this time, everyone's face showed longing.
But before Zhuang Wuying could speak, an older technician said, "Writer Cheng, this won't cause you any trouble, will it?"
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "What's the trouble?"
"I am a customer here and it is only natural for me to bring a few friends to my room."
At this point, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Let's go."
As he spoke, Cheng Xuyuan took the lead and walked towards the hotel.
Although Zhuang Wuying and others were hesitant, they all followed Cheng Xuyuan when they thought of his fame.
When they walked into the hotel gate, they were still a little nervous, but following Cheng Xuyuan who held his head high, they all felt braver.
The neatly dressed waiters at the hotel entrance smiled at their arrival.
This situation made Zhuang Wuying and others feel more relaxed.
Soon, several people took the elevator and arrived at Cheng Xuyuan's room on the top floor.
Although the room is only more than 20 square meters, it gives people a magnificent feeling after being cleaned.
Looking at where Cheng Xuyuan lived and thinking of where they lived, Zhuang Wuying and others couldn't help but reveal a hint of emotion in their eyes.
The gap between people is really huge.
"Mr. Cheng, how much do you need for tonight?" the youngest technician asked with a hint of curiosity.
Cheng Xuyuan said casually: "It should be about 400 to 500 US dollars. I didn't ask in detail. It was all arranged by my friends."
Four or five hundred dollars a night!
Zhuang Wuying felt his lips tremble.
His salary is only 70 or 80 yuan a month, which is already a high salary in Xingzhou Chemical Plant.
But if this money is converted into US dollars, it would be more than 20 yuan. Cheng Xuyuan's accommodation for one night was actually almost his total income for two years.
this……
Cheng Xuyuan made a cup of coffee for everyone and then started chatting casually.
From the casual chat, Cheng Xuyuan learned that they were planning to go back the day after tomorrow.
After all, the other party's temporary price increase was completely beyond their expectations.
In this situation, they no longer wanted to waste time here and had no choice but to go back.
This time I came out, I wanted to stroll around Fifth Avenue before leaving, so that it wouldn't be a wasted trip.
Cheng Xuyuan said casually: "Brother Zhuang, are you going to give up on the matter of introducing equipment?"
Zhuang Wuying hesitated for a moment, but still said solemnly: "Xuyuan, the introduction of equipment is a major matter decided by the higher-ups, and it is related to the industrial upgrading of our factory."
"According to our expectations, we still have to talk about it next."
"But, I guess they want to see how much concessions the other party can make."
The old engineer just now said: "However, I think it is unlikely that the other party will give in. After all, the core technology is in their hands."
This sentence is full of helplessness.
The faces of the people who were originally in high spirits because of drinking coffee in the Plaza Hotel suddenly became gloomy.
They are also highly respected figures in Xingzhou Chemical Plant. Unexpectedly, they would be threatened like this now. It really makes people angry just thinking about it.
But now, they can only swallow their anger.
Because they have no choice!
"Brother Zhuang, are you going to negotiate tomorrow? Otherwise, let me go with you to have a look, it can be regarded as an eye-opener." Cheng Xuyuan said: "Maybe I can help a little."
Cheng Xuyuan's request surprised Zhuang Wuying.
If Cheng Xuyuan could provide help in other aspects, he would believe it.
After all, the fact that this person can get Americans to pay to stay in such a luxurious hotel shows his ability.
But what can Xiao Cheng do to help in the negotiation of chemical equipment? This is not the same industry at all! As the saying goes, different industries are like different mountains, and this is not just a big mountain.
But now, they had just drunk Cheng Xuyuan's coffee and came to the Plaza Hotel for a visit. It seemed a bit unkind to just refuse him like that.
Besides, it's not a big deal.
"Mr. Lu, look..." Zhuang Wuying looked at the older technician.
Lu Gong smiled and said, "This is not a secret. If Cheng Zuo wants to take a look, we welcome it."
At this point, he took a sip of coffee and said, "However, when the negotiation comes, Mr. Cheng, you must hold back your anger and not ruin your good mood."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "I just want to broaden my horizons and see if I can collect more writing materials."
Seeing Cheng Xuyuan say this, Lu Gong said, "Then let's see you tomorrow."
"The location for our negotiation with Lubbock is in a conference room at a nearby small hotel. If Writer Cheng wants to see it, he can go there early tomorrow morning."
Cheng Xuyuan nodded and said, "Then I'll go and take a look."
Lu Gong said with a hint of emotion: "If you fall behind, you will be strangled by others. If Writer Cheng can write this into the book, it will wake up many people!"
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Lu Gong, whose face was full of wrinkles, and felt a little emotional.
Cheng Xuyuan felt helpless from Lu Gong, but at the same time, he also felt a sense of indomitable spirit.
"It's boring just drinking coffee, let me treat everyone to a western meal." Cheng Xuyuan glanced at the sky and said, "I can't afford it here, let's go to an ordinary restaurant nearby."
Hearing that Cheng Xuyuan was going to treat them, Zhuang Wuying and the others waved their hands and said, "Xuyuan, thank you for your kindness, but the things here are too expensive."
"We have an agreement with the hotel. We provide accommodation and meals. If we eat out, they won't refund us."
The older Lu Gong also said, "Mr. Cheng, I appreciate your kindness. You might as well use the money to buy more things when you go back!"
"After all, foreign exchange is not easy to earn!"
…
Lu Gong and others were excited and accepted Cheng Xuyuan's invitation to come up and take a look.
But they could not agree to Cheng Xuyuan's invitation to dinner no matter what.
They all felt that this was a bit too expensive for Cheng Xuyuan.
Faced with everyone's refusal, Cheng Xuyuan had no choice but to compromise.
After chatting for a while, they were escorted out of the Plaza Hotel.
The next day, Cheng Xuyuan arrived at the place of the last round of negotiations at the agreed time.
Perhaps no one had any hope for this negotiation anymore, so everyone, from the factory director to the ordinary technicians, had a solemn look on their faces.
Seeing Cheng Xuyuan, he sighed and said to the factory director: "Xuyuan, this trip was in vain."
"When are you going to go back?"
Looking at Director Xiang with messy hair, Cheng Xuyuan felt a lot of emotions in his heart. When he first met Director Xiang in Meng Dezhi's office, although he spoke modestly, he had a kind of momentum in his spirit.
But now, the feeling given to Director Xiang was like an eggplant hit by frost, completely wilted.
With emotion in his heart, Cheng Xuyuan said: "I still have some things to discuss here, so I will go back next week."
"Director Xiang, there is always a way out. Maybe this negotiation will lead to a bright future!"
Director Xiang didn't believe what Cheng Xuyuan said at all.
He felt that this was Cheng Xuyuan's way of comforting himself.
However, he was still very grateful for this comfort from the bottom of his heart.
After all, Cheng Xuyuan had nothing to do with him, so being able to comfort him was a great honor.
He smiled and said, "Thank you Xuyuan, let's go in. The people from Lubbock Company should be here soon."
The meeting room was not big, so Cheng Xuyuan, Zhuang Wuying and other young people could only sit in the back row.
However, when they sat down and waited quietly for the other party to arrive, the agreed time came and no one came.
This kind of behavior naturally explains everything.
Although Director Xiang was very unhappy about this situation, he had no choice but to endure it.
"Everyone, please wait a moment. The people from the Rubok Company will be here soon." After twenty minutes of negotiation, Director Xiang had to speak to comfort his subordinates.
This waiting lasted for more than forty minutes.
Just when Cheng Xuyuan was getting a little impatient, the door of the conference room was pushed open and several men in suits strode in.
