Chapter 424 Let Me Say a Word
Seeing several men coming in, Director Xiang's expression became more and more ugly, but in the end, he still forced a smile on his face.
The leader of the men in suits was a long-faced man with blond hair who was about 1.9 meters tall. He was the first to speak: "I'm sorry, everyone. We spent a long time talking with Nanmi's client, so we are late."
He spoke English, and while speaking, he looked at the translator brought by the factory director and his team.
The translator was in his thirties. Although he looked unhappy, he was still very professional and conveyed the other party's words to Director Xiang and others.
He took a breath and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Bronte, we understand that you are busy with work. I think we can start talking about business now."
The man called Mr. Bronte said with a smile, "Of course."
Because of the translation, the whole conversation was a bit stiff.
He said to the factory manager, "Mr. Bronte, we called back to discuss your conditions. We feel that your conditions are too harsh."
"We had already agreed on the price before we came here."
"You are being dishonest by raising the price so suddenly!"
After listening to the translator, Bronte said calmly: "Mr. Xiang, no one forced you to buy our production line."
“You don’t have to buy it.”
“I can tell you that the reason we were a little late was mainly because of Nanmi’s customers, who had the same requirements as you.”
"You know, we only have one production line like this. If we sell it to our counterparts in Nanmi, you will have nothing."
"The price they offer is higher than the price I offer you."
After listening to Bronte's words, Director Xiang's expression became even uglier.
He knew in his heart that whether the Nanmi customers that Bronte mentioned really existed still needed to be verified.
The other party did this because they were sure they had no other choice.
This is simply asking for too much.
He really wanted to be able to say firmly that we will not import this equipment! But he knew very well that although he had let out his anger, the problem still needed to be solved.
After a moment's thought, he finally said in a deep voice: "Mr. Bronte, we still need to go back and discuss your request."
"This is your right, but what I want to say is that when you come back, the price will still change." Bronte looked indifferent.
He looked at his companions and said, "Everyone, let's get ready and sell that equipment to our friends in Nanmi."
"They can't afford it!"
These words immediately caused a burst of laughter.
Hearing this laughter, Zhuang Wuying and others' eyes were filled with anger.
Before coming here, they had done a lot of homework on this equipment.
I know the value of this second-hand equipment, and I also know the selling price of a similar equipment that was traded before.
The price they offered was already quite high.
But now, the other party is clearly trying to rip people off.
But if we don’t buy it, not only will the introduction of equipment be in vain, but the production upgrade of the main factory will also be out of the question.
Just when they were feeling upset, Cheng Xuyuan, who was standing beside them, suddenly said, "It's not that we can't afford it, but these pieces of junk are not worth spending money on."
"Rubbish! " Cheng Xuyuan said this in English.
So his words immediately made Bronte and others who were negotiating glare at him angrily.
Bronte said coldly to Director Xiang: "Mr. Xiang, since your people think our products are junk, there is no need to talk any further."
“I can bet you that if we don’t sell it to you, you will never be able to buy the same product.”
"Let's go!"
As he spoke, Mr. Bronte was about to go out.
Seeing Bronte turning around to leave, Director Xiang suddenly felt a little anxious.
At this moment, he secretly regretted it in his heart. Why did he agree to let Cheng Xuyuan come to see it? He originally thought that he would not speak and would only watch, but he did not expect that he would directly anger the other party. He did not know what he said.
In a flash, he looked towards the translator.
The translator quickly translated the conversation between Cheng Xuyuan and Bronte.
After hearing what the two people said, Director Xiang felt helpless.
However, Cheng Xuyuan's words also made him feel happy.
"Let's go. This type of production line of yours only has more functions than the Type 2 production line of Xiao Ri."
“In fact, the principles are the same.”
"The Type II production line of Xiaoshi is now treated as junk."
"It only takes one million dollars to get it."
"We can start with the modification of the reaction tank and other aspects. I think it won't cost much to convert it into a new production line that is no less than your equipment."
Cheng Xuyuan was still speaking English, but after he finished speaking, the middle-aged man with messy hair who was following Bronte couldn't help but say, "Xiao Rizi's Type II production line can't possibly reach the level of our production line."
"Everything depends on human efforts." While speaking, Cheng Xuyuan directly mentioned a few key points about the records of production line upgrades in his previous life.
It is said that those who know how to do something difficult will not be able to do it, and those who know how to do it will not be
The middle-aged man with messy hair was originally in charge of technology.
At this moment, his face changed after hearing Cheng Xuyuan's words.
He grabbed Bronte who was about to leave and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Bronte, the improvement he mentioned is completely achievable."
"If you leave, this negotiation..."
The man didn't finish his sentence, but Bronte knew what he meant.
In an instant, Bronte's expression turned ugly.
It was his idea to temporarily raise the price. He did so because after meeting Director Xiang and his colleagues, he had an idea that he might as well rip off the customers.
He believed that under his own operation, he would be able to sell the old production lines that were to be replaced in the factory for a lot more money, and these profits would naturally include his benefits.
However, he did not expect that among these seemingly rustic people, there were some who had studied their production line so clearly.
If there really is a substitute, and a much cheaper substitute, then this transaction will be cancelled.
Once this old production line cannot be sold, it will not only take up space, but will also cause some losses to the company's funds.
After hesitating for a moment, he snorted and said, "How can a patchwork product compare to our original production line?"
"Since you are sincere, I can still discuss this matter with you."
"I don't have to sell you that auxiliary production line, but the price of the main production line cannot be changed."
The translator quickly reported the conversation between the two sides to Director Xiang.
He was one of the people who came with Director Xiang, and he was already angry about the negotiations.
Hearing Mr. Bronte's words at this moment, I inexplicably felt a sense of relief in my heart.
There was a hint of reverence in his eyes when he looked at Cheng Xuyuan.
When he heard that the useless auxiliary production line was not going to be added, Director Xiang's expression immediately improved a lot.
After all, that useless auxiliary production line is not cheap. If we only count the main production line, although the price has increased, it seems that it is not impossible if we grit our teeth.
Just as he was about to speak to the factory manager, he heard Cheng Xuyuan continue: "Not only has your production line been in use for many years, but the technology is also outdated."
"Also, the loss of raw materials is too great, and this production line is going to be eliminated."
"I estimate that if we don't buy this production line, the most likely thing you will do is to send it to the furnace and remelt it."
"The price of this scrap copper and iron is not high."
Cheng Xuyuan's words made Mr. Bronte even more impatient. He snorted and said, "We can still sell it to other buyers."
"We are not just your customer."
Director Xiang looked at the expressions of the two people and felt a sense of certainty in his heart. He waved at Zhuang Wuying and others who wanted to speak, signaling them not to speak.
Cheng Xuyuan said: "Your idea is simply impossible."
"According to the energy consumption regulations of all parties, your production line cannot be sold at Nanmi. Because after they buy it, they can't use it at all."
"Also, according to your recent regulations on waste gas, your production line must be dismantled when it is due."
"If you are overdue, the consequences will be something you cannot afford."
"So, it's really hard for you to find sellers like us."
Bronte's face turned a little gray, and Cheng Xuyuan waved his hand and said, "Goodbye, we have to go back to inspect Xiao Rizi's Type II production line."
"Maybe we'll come find you."
"But maybe it won't come again."
In Mr. Bronte's mind, all the negotiation skills and methods had disappeared without a trace.
What else can he talk about when his trump card and weakness have been caught by the other party? He regrets it now.
If he had known this would be the result, he would not have raised the price. He would have just sold it honestly according to the price agreed upon when they first met.
But now, he can't go back.
Once huge losses are caused to the company, even though he is a senior executive in the company, he probably cannot afford the consequences.
Suddenly, drops of cold sweat began to flow down his body.
"Everything will be done as we have agreed before." Mr. Bronte looked at the factory director and said in a deep voice: "Let's all be honest."
If it was ten minutes ago, Director Xiang would have jumped for joy after hearing Mr. Bronte say this.
But now, he didn't say anything, just looked at Cheng Xuyuan silently.
Although he didn't know when Cheng Xuyuan started researching chemical production lines, the current situation was very clear: Cheng Xuyuan had Mr. Bronte in his control.
Of course he would not give up such a good opportunity.
"Mr. Bronte, you were the first to not talk about integrity, so we must not talk about it for once."
"You know the actual value of your production line, and so do we."
"After an hour, if you can offer us a price that satisfies us, then the transaction can proceed. If the price you offer is not suitable, then we will leave first."
Having said this, Cheng Xuyuan sat down directly on the chair.
