Chapter 254

On the fourth day after the Yingli businessman settled in Yiguan (a business hall designated by foreign businessmen in Suizhou), Zhuang Mingxi hosted a banquet in Shenfu to entertain the foreign businessman named Gilson. Negotiating business with him in the name of reminiscing, promising him many preferential terms and benefits, Gilson's eyes lit up.

At this time, Gilson suddenly said something in a foreign language, and Zhuang Mingxi looked at the translator who was sitting next to him. As a customs city, Suizhou has specialized in dealing with foreign businessmen in recent years. Of course, a group of people who specialize in translation work has also grown. Because some businessmen have lived on the coast for a long time, before opening customs in Suizhou, they also 'trade' with foreign businessmen in private. Therefore, many people can speak a few foreign languages, such as Pan Guan and Yang Guan, and they can even talk to foreign businessmen. .

However, Zhuang Mingxi has only been in Suizhou for three years, so he cannot speak foreign languages.

The translator told her that Gilson meant that Sheng Shi and Feng Hexing's boss Pan had come to him and said that as long as he 'handed over' the underwriting rights to Feng Hexing, Sheng Shi could provide ten catties of tribute tea Biluo 'Chun' give them.

Gilson looked at Zhuang Mingxi and murmured for a while, and translated: "Mr. Gilson said that he had a pleasant cooperation with your bank last time, and he should not have rejected Mrs. Shen's request. One of the best tea leaves and the favorite of the emperor of your country, I couldn't buy it last year if I wanted to, but this year I don't want to give up this opportunity, I'm sorry."

After listening to his words, Zhuang Mingxi pondered for a while, then smiled again: "But the price I gave you is Mr. Gilson that neither Yifengxing nor Shengshi can give you. Since we are old acquaintances, there are some things to say. I might as well say frankly. When it comes to drinking tea, your country is far from our country with a long history and a long history. For the guests of your country, tea is tea, whether it is Biluo "spring" or West Lake Longjing, what is the difference? ?It's just an auxiliary for making 'milk' tea. I think most people only care about whether the tea you sell to them is expensive or cheap. You cooperate with me, and the price I give you can make you earn more A lot of profits, aren't those profits more attractive than ten jins of Biluo 'Chun'?"

After listening to the translation, Gilson watched Zhuang Mingxi silent for a long time, as if thinking carefully.

Zhuang Mingxi didn't "force" him, "Mr. Gilson might as well think about it before making a decision."

When discussing business with people, you should start from the other party's point of view. If you can make the other party feel like he is putting himself in his shoes, then the matter is at least half successful.

This is what she has learned from Qin Tian.

Zhuang Mingxi looked at Mr. Gilson with a charming smile and said, "Mr. Gilson, why don't I show you my 'flower' garden?"

After sending Gilson away, Magpie asked her in a puzzled way: "Madam, the plan is not like this. We should let the eldest and youngest 'milk' and 'milk' get the comprador right this time."

Zhuang Mingxi said solemnly: "I will let her get the comprador rights, but definitely not in the way that I lost to her." She clenched her hand holding the tea cup tightly, her eyes seemed to be on fire

She will never allow herself to lose to that person again in her life

On the other hand, Qin Tian had a smooth negotiation with Mr. Gilson, but when she went to Yiguan to see Gilson and wanted to discuss the details of the cooperation, she found that Gilson's attitude had changed a lot. He asked her if the price of tea could be Can't it be reduced by 20%?

"Someone offers me this price. As long as your bank can pay this price and continue to provide Biluo 'Chun', I will facilitate your cooperation." The translator conveyed Gilson's meaning to Qin Tian.

In fact, Qin Tian had long discovered that the English language of this country was very similar to the English of the previous life, and English was not a problem for her at all, she could understand every word he said. However, since she was only a little country girl, it was impossible for her to have access to English, so she hired an interpreter to follow her throughout the entire negotiation, just like other businessmen.

The translator is about forty years old. It is said that he has spent several years in England, but Qin Tian feels that his English is not as good as his own. For example, his pronunciation is not pure at all. However, the meaning has never been wrong, so Qin Tian pretended not to understand anything and relied on him to talk to Mr. Gilson.

Hearing Gilson's words, Qin Tian understood at once. He looked at Jerson and smiled: "The person who said this to Mr. He should be Mrs. Shen from Yifenghang."

Gilson widened his sapphire blue eyes and said in surprise, "How did Madam know?"

In fact, Qin Tian was not completely sure before, but seeing Gilson's appearance, he was absolutely certain of his guess.

This Zhuang Mingxi, why does he still use such a method that can't get on the table?

"We have a saying in Daqi, a penny is worth a penny. If Mrs. Shen gives you this price, there will be no good tea for you. There is still a big difference between the quality of tea and the good tea. The soup is fragrant and refreshing, but the defective products will be bitter and astringent, and there is no taste at all. Gilson finally came here, is it just to save those silver taels and bring back some defective products?"

Qin Tian's voice had not yet finished, but he saw Gilson took out a small bamboo tube from his body and placed it on the coffee table, and poured out some tea leaves from it.

He motioned for her to read: "These are the samples of tea that Mrs. Shen gave me. Although I don't know much about tea, I can see that these are not inferior products."

Qin Tian was astonished, and hurriedly took a closer look. He saw that some high-quality green tea was poured out of the small bamboo tube. This kind of green tea was sold at such a price that there was no money at all.

Suddenly, Qin Tian understood that it wasn't that Zhuang Mingxi's methods couldn't make it to the top, but that he underestimated her. As long as she can get a general manager, in her opinion, this business is not profitable.

However, everyone can fight price wars, but they cannot afford to be in a prosperous age. It is not because they cannot afford to lose money, but because they were appointed by the government to join the public sector in order to maintain the management of tea in prosperous age. If they still participate in these In the price war, winning the competition in this way will not be able to convince the public in the future.

More importantly, Gilson is not the only foreign businessman who recently 'traded', but there are so many foreign businessmen living in the Yiguan. If they know this kind of price, wouldn't it cause a 'mixed' in the market. 'Chaos', causing the loss of Daqi? In this way, they are only afraid that they will be punished by the government.

Thinking of this, Qin Tian only felt a chill down his spine.

Time will make people grow up. Now Zhuang Mingxi is more careful than in the past. Such a person seems to be determined to oppose her, which is really a headache to think about.

For a time, Qin Tian's mood was "chaotic" and "chaotic", and she couldn't think of a good way. She had to stabilize Gilson first, and said that she would be given two days to think about it, so that he would not rush to make a decision. Gilson still thinks about the "spring" of the prosperous world, and wants to make a "deal" with the prosperous world, but he wants to take the opportunity to lower the price of the prosperous world. Seeing her move, she readily agreed.

After breaking up with Gilson, Qin Tian went directly to the Shen residence.

The Shen Mansion is located in the prosperous area in the south of the city. The long fence occupies almost half of the street. Looking in from the outside, you can see the beautiful and prosperous inside.

When they came to the entrance of the big 'gate', Qingliu handed them a famous post, and after a while, someone led them into the Shen residence. All the way, they felt prosperous and luxurious, rare birds and precious trees, and beautiful.

Qingliu was speechless from the side, lowered her voice and said to Qin Tian, ​​"It is said that the businessmen in Suizhou are very rich, and today I finally saw it."

Qin Tian frowned, thinking of the words "a big tree attracts the wind", these businessmen love to enjoy it. As for the merchants she visited, which mansion was not made of gold and jade, and it was beautiful? I'm afraid it's not a good thing to be so arrogant.

Just thinking about it, the servants have already led them to the hall.

In the hall, marble is the ground, sandalwood is the wall, and all kinds of antique and precious calligraphy and paintings can be seen everywhere, which can be described as extremely luxurious.

This time, Qingliu was so surprised that she couldn't even utter a word. She was used to the low-key simplicity of the banker, but she didn't expect that the house could be so gorgeous.

Even the little maid who served tea was well-dressed. Not to mention the gold and painted colors of the tea set.

Just as the master and servant were amazed, a coquettish laughter came, and the master and servant followed the sound, only to see Zhuang Mingxi, who was dressed in a 'sophisticated' manner, walking in.

Before saying a word, he smiled: "A rare guest, a rare guest who can't even be invited."

During the conversation, Zhuang Ming walked over Nana, took Qin Tian's hand, and said affectionately, "Why didn't you notify me earlier when my sister-in-law is coming, so that I can prepare well for my little sister. In this way, only I'm afraid that I will neglect my sister-in-law."

Qin Tian smiled slightly and 'pulled' his hand back. It was her business that she liked to act, and who would be patient with her in acting.

"I'm not here to catch up with the old days, I just want to ask Mrs. Shen about you." Qin Tian opened the door to see the truth.

Seeing her 'pull' his hand back, Zhuang Mingxi was not annoyed, she smiled, turned and sat down in the right seat in the hall, her back was 'straight', and the master was full of style.

"Sister-in-law, just say it straight, if you have something to say, little sister must know everything and say everything." Zhuang Mingxi looked at her and smiled slightly.

"I heard that you 'traded' with Mr. Gilson at a price 20% lower than the market price. Is there such a thing?" Qin Tian looked at her with a condensed expression.

Zhuang Mingxi didn't hesitate at all, and readily agreed: "Yes, this is indeed the case, what's the problem?"

"How can there be no problem? Zhuang Mingxi, you are fighting against 'sexual' competition. Your actions will affect other tea merchants, and even the entire export industry. As a tea industry supervisor, I order you to stop this kind of behavior immediately. Behaviour" Qin Tian's voice and color are fierce.

But even so, Zhuang Mingxi remained calm. She looked at Qin Tian and raised an eyebrow: "If I don't obey your orders, what are you going to do with me?"

Qin Tian was at a loss for words.

When he came, he was only angry, but he didn't think about this issue carefully.

Yes, the government has given her this position, but because there is no precedent for reference, the government has not had time to clarify the powers of this position. Although the public office has just been established, because the general business has not been formed, there are no guidelines to refer to.

It is equivalent to saying that there is a vacuum period now. Therefore, she clearly knows that Zhuang Mingxi's actions are inappropriate, but there is no way to punish her, because she does not have this right.

It's a shame that she took advantage of this
