The last time Li Shaozhong went abroad, he only visited one country. This time, they plan to visit several more countries.
Both Li Shaozhong and Yan Xiheng had done some preparatory work beforehand, and Yan Xiheng and his team had also contacted and consulted in advance. This time, they planned to take a detailed look and inspect the site.
Li Shaozhong studied mechanics and then taught himself other subjects in college. He initially worked at an automobile factory. Later, due to a national initiative to develop the petrochemical industry and a shortage of technicians at a new petrochemical plant, Li Shaozhong was transferred to the plant to maintain petrochemical equipment.
When he met Ye Shuning, he had just been transferred to work in the oil field, so he was quite familiar with some petrochemical equipment.
Moreover, he also had some information that Ye Shuning had found, and he had already understood these devices thoroughly. So even if those foreigners wanted to fool them, it wouldn't be that easy.
Li Shaozhong, Yan Xiheng and several others went to a factory in Country M to inspect equipment. David Smith, who was responsible for receiving them, originally felt superior. However, Li Shaozhong asked a few questions at the right time, which made Mr. Smith speechless and his attitude changed a lot.
The questions raised by Li Shaozhong were not raised casually. They were all based on the information Ye Shuning had found and showed that these manufacturers currently had some critical problems.
As soon as Li Shaozhong raised a few questions, David Smith not only became much more humble, but also asked Li Shaozhong for solutions to the problems.
Li Shaozhong would not tell him for nothing, he was just trying to lure them.
Yan Xiheng, Ling Xuan and the others looked at each other and secretly gave Li Shaozhong a thumbs up.
After returning to the hotel from the factory they inspected, several people met in Li Shaozhong's room to discuss issues.
Yan Xiheng recalled what happened at the factory today and laughed, "Shaozhong, today was such a relief. They still thought their product was amazing, but now you've pointed out a few flaws. Mr. Smith was speechless and hilarious."
Ling Xuan also laughed and said, "Yeah, they always think they are superior to us, but they are still so powerful after being killed by Brother Li San."
Qin Zongye said, "Shaozhong is picking on their faults in order to facilitate the next round of negotiations."
Li Shaozhong nodded. "That's right. One reason is to dampen their arrogance and let them know we're not easy to fool. The other reason is to bargain for a better price later. Not only do I want to buy their new products, I'm also going to bargain down the price. We're a big customer, and if they don't want to lose us as a big customer, they have to take us seriously."
During this period, we should also visit other manufacturers and inquire about the same products, letting them know that if they don’t compromise, we still have others to consider.”
Yan Xiheng raised his thumb and said, "Shaozhong, you are conquering the enemy without fighting. You put psychological pressure on them first, and then they will give in."
Qin Zongye said, "Then let's leave them alone for a few days and then go to other manufacturers. Although they are not in the same city, they are not far away from here. We have already traveled so far across the country, so we are not afraid of going to more places."
In the next few days, Li Shaozhong and his team went to other cities to inspect equipment. These people were not only handsome, but also had extraordinary temperament. Even those with yellow skin and black hair did not dare to be underestimated.
Especially after Li Shaozhong used a string of professional terms and pointed out the shortcomings of a series of equipment, manufacturers had to treat them seriously and cautiously.
Li Shaozhong also saw the most advanced equipment in the hands of others, and he had a better idea of the situation.
Li Shaozhong came here for their most advanced equipment.
After inspecting the equipment of several companies, Li Shaozhong and his team will also conduct comparisons. Li Shaozhong will not rely solely on the information he has found before, but will make his own judgment based on the actual situation. At this time, his professional level also plays a big role.
Several equipment manufacturers also knew that Li Shaozhong and his team were conducting an investigation, and no one wanted to lose this business because it was only the first one and there would be more in the future.
Yan Xiheng, Qin Zongye and Ling Xuan all come from large families in Nangang and are all very powerful. When these people work together, they cannot be underestimated.
Several equipment manufacturers wanted to win over Li Shaozhong and his team, a major customer. Especially after Li Shaozhong and his team placed a large order, the other manufacturers began to show their sincerity.
The reason why Li Shaozhong placed an order was to let others see that they really wanted to buy the equipment and it was not just a joke.
Because of the competition, the subsequent negotiations went much more smoothly. Li Shaozhong not only bought the most advanced equipment, but also got the price to almost the lowest level.
Mr. Smith, the manufacturer in charge of this business, patted Li Shaozhong on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Li, you are really amazing. You have squeezed our profits to the lowest point. But thank you for pointing out our shortcomings, which gives us room for further improvement."
I just wonder if Mr. Li has a solution?"
Smith has been trying to get some information from Li Shaozhong, hoping to get some clues.
Li Shaozhong smiled and said, "Mr. Smith, I just happen to be familiar with this type of equipment. I'm sorry, I can't help you with how to solve your problem."
Li Shaozhong would not be so stupid as to tell them that knowledge is priceless. If they want to solve the problems he pointed out before, they will have to spend a lot of manpower and material resources, and there is no certainty when they can be solved.
The other party wants to get priceless technology without paying anything. It's really a pipe dream. Do you think he is a fool?
In addition to purchasing equipment, Li Shaozhong also looked at some experimental instruments and equipment. The chemical ones were easier to deal with, but the electronic ones were more difficult.
Although the international environment is much better now, some things cannot be bought just because you want to.
Seeing that the equipment Li Shaozhong was looking for was difficult to find, Yan Xiheng said, "Shaozhong, don't worry. I have some classmates and friends abroad. I'll ask them to help me buy these instruments and equipment. You can send them to me first, and I'll pass them on to you. It should be easier to get them to Nangang."
Li Shaozhong nodded. "Then I'll trouble you, cousin. I'll buy what I can myself first. I'll make a list of the rest for you. You can help me find out later."
They traveled to several countries before purchasing all the equipment, and by the time they returned home, most of the equipment had already been shipped.
Just before Li Shaozhong returned to China, someone found Li Jianye and Li Shaoting for a talk.
When Li Jianye learned that the country was going to build a car factory specializing in the production of cars, he wanted his youngest son to participate in this work. Although he also wanted his youngest son to participate in this national project, he knew that the work his youngest son and his daughter-in-law were doing was also very important to the country.
If the youngest son went out to do something else, the pressure on the younger daughter-in-law would be great. He respected the decision of the young couple.
