The music was still going on, Le Xiao had already danced with many people in the delegation, and there were no problems during the dance. The dance was about to end, and Le Xiao felt relieved at this moment.
"Fortunately, no problem."
Wu Lei said, Le Xiao was sitting on the chair, and her heart began to beat violently at this time. This was really the first time for her to attend such an occasion. Le Xiao basically did not attend many parties before, because she was afraid that there would be people at the party.
Use various benefits to trade with yourself.
"It's really uncomfortable. No matter how many times I do this, I never get used to it."
Le Xiao said, pressing her somewhat empty stomach. After exercising for a while, she felt hungry again. The main reason was that she was too nervous. Le Xiao felt her head was dizzy the whole time, and often went blank.
"Have something to eat later, have a drink and then have a good sleep."
Wu Lei said and Le Xiao nodded. At this time, Locke came over and sat next to Le Xiao and said directly.
"It's up to you to discuss the food issue with them tomorrow."
Wu Lei looked solemn, Le Xiao smiled and said.
"Small question, what do they need, let us provide it, right? Then see what they use in exchange. In this way, we first exchange things for things, and then both parties start to customize the price and make foreign exchange coins, right."
Le Xiao has been making up for some things in the past few days. She would look at it from time to time, and with Wu Lei always nagging beside her, she naturally understood what the deal between the two countries was about.
However, Wu Lei was a little scared at this time. Locke also saw Wu Lei's worry and smiled.
"Secretary Wu Lei, if there are specific professional issues tomorrow, you will explain them. I will let this girl handle other transaction-related talks."
Wu Lei panicked. Le Xiao had no trading experience at all. If she was rashly asked to discuss food transactions with the other party, problems might arise. It would be better to leave this kind of matter to a capable businessman.
This is what Wu Lei is thinking now, he said directly.
"General manager, I think it would be better to leave the food talks to capable businessmen."
Locke also noticed Wu Lei's worry, patted him on the shoulder and said.
"Don't worry. It's good if the negotiation is successful. If the negotiation fails, just leave it to the next round. It doesn't have to be done overnight."
After Locke finished speaking, he stood up, but his words did not make Wu Lei relax his vigilance, because this was not a simple transaction. Looking at Le Xiao, who looked relaxed, Wu Lei sighed.
"Why, you're looking down on me. When I was a kid, I often helped my mother set up a stall to sell things in order to help support the family. I'm good at bargaining, so don't worry."
Le Xiao confidently said, Wu Lei shook his head. The dance was about to end at this time. Wu Lei felt a little pain in his head because a summary of various records of the conversations between Tianji Space Country and Bright City over the years had been sent to his phone.
Wu Lei was not sure why the section chiefs would hand over such an important start to an inexperienced person, but orders were orders, and Wu Lei could only follow them.
The current situation is not optimistic. Wu Lei has to read these materials quickly tonight. Seeing that Le Xiao is still enjoying the dance, Wu Lei drags her out.
"What are you doing?"
Le Xiao looked at Wu Lei, who looked nervous, and smiled.
"Let's find a place where no one is around."
Le Xiao blinked and then said with a smile.
"What, what do you want to tell me?"
Seeing Wu Lei's serious face, Le Xiao put away her smile. She knew what Wu Lei was going to say, and soon they returned to the second floor of Angus's annex. Violet was sitting next to her, she said with a serious expression.
"Why would they entrust such an important matter to you, Chief?"
Le Xiao looked at the two people with solemn expressions suspiciously, and then said.
"You can't trust me that much?"
Seeing the two of them nodding at the same time, Le Xiao's cheeks turned slightly red and she whispered.
"Although I'm a bit lazy on weekdays, I've still carefully read what I need to read, so I should be fine."
Violet said with a helpless smile.
"This is not something you can decide simply by thinking about it and just discussing the price."
Le Xiao asked doubtfully.
"Isn't it possible?"
Wu Lei said.
"How high do you think our demand for their products is?"
Le Xiao shook his head and Wu Lei asked again.
"How does our national power compare with theirs?"
Le Xiao said.
"I'm not too sure, but our population must be larger than theirs, so our national strength should be stronger than theirs, so I think for such a deal, we should get more of what we need and less of what they don't need. They need it."
We can give you as much as you want."
Violet laughed and covered her mouth, Le Xiao blushed and still looked confused, Wu Lei sighed and said.
"You really think everything is too simple. The simplest question is that the pricing of goods is determined by the market, and what about the production cost? How much is it? We know the production cost of all our goods, but they don't know, and we
We also don’t know their production costs, and these figures are the core factors that will determine the number of transactions in the future.”
Le Xiao blinked and asked.
"Then how do we deal?"
Violet said.
"So we have to enjoy the talks. The purpose of the talks at this stage is to determine the needs of both parties, and that's it. However, we need to have very specific discussions on the practicality of the goods, so that we can know the value of each other's goods to the people of the country. So.
I was very worried about you at the beginning. Your lack of knowledge about business is extremely serious."
Le Xiao hummed, and Wu Lei continued.
"This is not a simple business transaction, exchanging things for things. For example, if you have 100 kilograms of rice at home, but lack of salt, and the house opposite happens to have a lot of salt, how many kilograms do you plan to use?
exchange each other’s rice for salt.”
Le Xiao thought for a while and said.
"Exchange 10 kilograms for a few kilograms of salt. Anyway, you can bargain, so that should be fine."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wu Lei continued to hypothesize.
"So what if the other party is only willing to give you 100 grams of salt in exchange for 10 kilograms of rice?"
Le Xiao blinked and then said.
"Then I definitely won't change it."
Violet said.
"You have been suffering from physical problems due to insufficient salt intake in your body for a long time. Do you want to change it or not?"
Le Xiao said awkwardly.
"Of course I can only change it. But this is too deceiving and goes too far."
Wu Lei smiled.
"Next time, when you run out of salt, the other party asks you to exchange 40 kilograms of rice for 100 grams of salt. What will you do?"
Le Xiao was stunned, and then said directly.
"Of course it's impossible to replace it, but if you don't take in salt, your body will have problems."
Wu Lei nodded.
"Yes, you have to exchange with each other, so this is the biggest difficulty in transactions between two countries, because our two countries have been closed for almost two centuries, so the situations in humanities and social life are different. Food wants to be in the short term
If it is transported to the Tianji Space Country, the original harvested food will definitely not work. It also needs to be confirmed whether there will be any problems with the food after entering space. There will be a lot of complicated things."
Wu Lei said and opened the light and shadow screen. This is the record of conversations with Tianji Space Nation over the years compiled by Section 2 Chief Mo Xiaolan. Many of the key points are highlighted. You can know some important things by looking at the conversations before and after.
thing.
"It does seem a bit complicated."
Le Xiao felt a headache. Looking at some of the information above and listening to what Wu Lei and Violet said just now, she already felt the seriousness of such a meeting.
"To put it bluntly, it is the first round of business confrontation between two countries. If the negotiation is successful, both parties will naturally be very happy. If the negotiation does not go well, either the two sides will fall into a deadlock, or one party will feel uncomfortable. This kind of thing
It is very common in commercial transactions, let alone ordinary commercial transactions, this is a dialogue between countries."
