Money is something that no one can have too little of.
Now on Linglan Island, in addition to making money by selling natural crystals, there are also many derivative businesses, such as training and selling the corpses of Spectral Claw monsters.
Adding up these businesses, the entire Linglan Island can have a monthly turnover of more than 3 billion yuan, which is about 40 billion yuan a year.
And if it is sold to Berg Crystal Group at the price just now, it will add at least an additional stable income of more than 300 million to the entire 32 Group every month, which is 3.6 billion a year.
3.6 billion is not a small sum, not to mention that as the output continues to rise, the other party's purchase volume will continue to increase, which means it is not 3.6 billion.
Besides, for domestic sales, although the price is 5,000 yuan per point, as the supply continues to increase, there are indeed many places that cannot sell at this price. In addition to the additional distribution costs and security costs, these 70% off will be 80% off.
The deduction will result in an additional loss.
If they were all sold to the Berg Group, there would be no problem in earning an additional four billion yuan a year.
This is obviously a good thing.
But it would be nice if things were that perfect, this is just the beginning.
The other party first threw out a big bait, and then waited for Ning Yi and the others to take the bait. Then, the purchasing manager next to Alice began to make some additional small requests.
First, the 32 Group is required to join the International Crystal Market Price Alliance; second, the 32 Group is not allowed to provide natural crystals with lower prices than Berg crystals to other foreign companies; third, and most importantly, if the 32 Group wants to develop
In the international market, the selling price of crystals cannot be lower than the market price of BURG crystals, and must be negotiated with BURG crystals in advance.
In a word, Saner Group must not compete with Berg Crystal in the international market.
On the surface, it seems reasonable. After all, I bought natural crystals from you at a high price and in large quantities. You can't still compete with me, right?
But one problem is that the purchase volume of Berg crystal seems to be very large at present, 500,000 points per month, which is equivalent to half of the output of Saner Group.
If Saner Group wants to satisfy exports and supply the domestic market, it seems that it is not enough.
But don’t forget, the contract is for five years.
At present, the crystals produced by several bases in Linglan Island add up to more than 1 million energy points every month, but at the current growth rate, even if it will slowly slow down, at least 2 million points can be obtained by the end of the year.
, and Berg Crystal only promises to purchase a minimum of 500,000 points. The remaining 1.5 million points, even if it meets the existing market of 1 million, how can the extra 500,000 points be sold domestically?
In the end, we still have to export.
Then the problem comes. If it is exported, the price cannot be lower than that of Burger crystal. This means that it is difficult to compete with Burger crystal, and the whole market will be led by Burger crystal.
In addition, you have to join a price alliance. This means that even the pricing power is restricted.
These conditions are simply a rope around the neck of the 32 Group.
For the current 32 Group, it seems to be of great benefit, but over time, it will not be of any benefit to the 32 Group at all.
After hearing the other party list the three conditions, Ning Yi laughed directly: "Miss Alice, if we agree to your three conditions, I think it would be more straightforward to simply sell the 32 Group to you."
"Mr. Ning, we are very sincere. If there are any objections to the price, we can raise some prices." Alice stared at Ning Yi with a smile and said in an evasive manner.
Of course Ning Yi knew that this was just the first round of negotiations between the two parties, and of course the lion would open his mouth.
Therefore, he responded simply and with a smile: "Well, our condition is that in terms of price, we agree, but the transaction must be in Chinese yuan as the local currency. In addition, the price must be FOB price, and we are not responsible for transportation.
As for the three conditions you proposed, except for the second point, which we can give a little consideration to, we cannot accept the others."
When Alice heard this, she was slightly startled, and then she smiled: "The conditions proposed by Mr. Ning are really too difficult. If this is the case, we can buy it from other companies in Huaxia at a lower price. I believe that Huaxia will definitely
There are many companies who are happy to resell the crystals you sell."
"Ms. Alice, thank you for your reminder. Therefore, if anyone wants to purchase in bulk in the future, we will consider it carefully."
"Mr. Ning, even if we collect bulk cargo, it's actually not that difficult." Alice also said tit for tat.
Mu Qingxue saw that the two of them seemed to be about to quarrel, so she hurriedly came out to smooth things over. She put her hands on the table, clasped her hands together, and said with a smile: "That's why negotiations are needed when both parties have objections. Rome was not built in a day. This
A contract cannot be settled in just a few words."
She turned her wrist to check the time and said with a smile: "Now, it's not too late. Let's have lunch first and continue talking in the afternoon, okay?"
"I'm indeed a little hungry." After hearing this, Alice looked at Ning Yi with a smile and said, "I agree with Xue'er's suggestion. Mr. Ning, what do you think?"
"Of course it's no problem. I'll treat you to a treat today at noon." Ning Yi said with a smile.
Of course, eating is just an excuse. Now that both sides know the basic conditions of the other party's negotiation, both sides can take advantage of the intermission to start collecting relevant information and prepare for the next negotiation.
During the meal, we didn't talk about this cooperation.
Alice looked at Ning Yi and said with a smile: "Mr. Ning, no matter whether our cooperation can succeed this time, I will always thank you, by the way, Mr. Ning."
Alice turned her eyes to Mu Qingxue, smiled slightly and said: "So, I sincerely invite you, when will you and Xueer travel to our Oran?"
Hearing this, Ning Yi couldn't help but look slightly embarrassed. After all, he, Mu Qingxue, and Alice were not the only ones eating together now. There were also other people at the same table, such as Qiwei Crystal and Saner Group.
Experts involved in negotiations.
They all knew about the relationship between Ning Yi and Feng Yingruo.
If other people had said this, Ning Yi would have been rude, but now that Alice said this, Ning Yi had to consider that Mu Qingxue had told her beforehand to avoid being entangled by Alice, that she and Ning Yi were now
couple relationship.
However, something seems wrong.
This Alice is so powerful, she probably already knew about his relationship with Feng Yingruo, so she said this deliberately.
This royal princess is not simple. She probably investigated him thoroughly last night. Of course, there is another possibility that she has known about her situation for a long time and is just pretending not to know.
So Ning Yi just laughed twice and said lightly: "Thank you very much, but I have no travel plans in the short term."
"Xue'er, your Ning Yi is not romantic at all." Alice said with a look of regret.
"Alice, then you are wrong. When he is romantic, you just can't see it." Mu Qingxue gently shook the glass of red wine in front of her and took over the conversation with a smile.
"Oh, that's it. It's really enviable." A look of envy appeared on Alice's face. Of course, it was difficult to tell whether it was true or false.
After a while, she spoke again: "Oh, by the way, Mr. Ning, I have a grudge. I wonder if you can satisfy me?"
"Say it!" Ning Yi replied with a smile.
"It's like this. I heard that the training base in Xiancheng Base is very good, so I want to go to Linglan Island to take a look. Is it possible?"
"Well..." Ning Yi hesitated slightly after hearing this, "It's like this. Although our training base is open to the public, we have never received foreign friends."
"Don't worry, Mr. Ning, I'm just going there alone, you won't be afraid of this, right?" Alice said with a smile.
Ning Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I think you misunderstood. What I mean is that we haven't received foreign friends yet, but you can be the first one."
"I see, then I have to thank you first." Alice squinted her charming blue eyes, stared at Ning Yi, and blinked lightly, as if she wanted to wink at Ning Yi.
Mu Qingxue glanced at Alice, curled her lips slightly and said nothing.
While he was talking, Ning Yi's phone vibrated.
He had muted the call beforehand, looked down and found that it was Lin Yun calling.
If there was nothing urgent, Lin Yun would definitely not call him at this time.
Ning Yi frowned slightly and answered the phone on the pretext of going to the bathroom.
"Uncle, something happened, another one died."
"One died?" Ning Yi frowned slightly, "Who died?"
"Another foreigner, this time probably a Middle Easterner, died in the same way, with a knife to seal his throat." Lin Yun said, "The body was found this morning on the rooftop of the Tianhe Building."
"Tianhe Tower?" Ning Yi frowned and thought for a moment, "Isn't Tianhe Tower right next to Blue River Manor?"
"Yes, Tianhe Tower is our property. The foreigner who was killed was still holding a telescope in his hand. Judging from the angle he was standing before he died, he should have been secretly observing Blue River Manor."
"Have you found out the identity of the deceased?"
"Officer Yang has asked the Juemen Police to seal off the scene. Currently, we only know that he is from Sandi, and his name is Elm. Coincidentally, this person is on the same flight as Princess Alice and her party."
"You mean, this person is in the same group as Alice?"
"At present, we can only say that there is some coincidence. As for whether it is true or not, it is difficult to say."
Ning Yi took a long breath: "I know, I'll test it out later. You guys should investigate quickly and let me know the latest news as soon as it's available."
"knew!"
After hanging up the phone, Ning Yi just walked out of the bathroom and saw Alice walking towards the bathroom from the other end of the corridor. The phone in her hand seemed to be ringing. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature for better updates of the novel.
