"The old lady said that when you come back from abroad, she will prepare to come to propose marriage."
What? A door-to-door marriage proposal?
Zhao Shanhe couldn't help being a little stunned, and then asked: "You mean she agreed to Qiucheng and Xia Mo's marriage?"
"That's right."
Li Qiuya on the other end of the phone sighed and said: "You wouldn't have thought of her expression when she said this, as if she was talking about an insignificant thing. Don't talk about Qiucheng and Xia Mo at that time.
Even I was surprised. This was originally a very difficult matter, but who would have thought that with her appearance, it would be solved like this."
"It's interesting."
Zhao Shanhe smiled slightly.
"Okay, since everyone has said this, we can't say that we are petty. After I handle the things here, I will go back to China to propose marriage. If you say nothing is wrong in the past two days, you can go back. There is no need to stay in Xianhua
It’s market.”
"good!"
The two chatted for a while and then hung up the phone.
"Who is this old lady from the Song family?"
Zhao Shanhe murmured to himself.
…
the next day.
The Black Swan Hotel has prepared breakfast. Although it is not Chinese style, at least it can fill your stomach. While eating breakfast, Zhao Shanhe began to arrange work. Guo Kai did not need to follow him to the aquarium.
He also needs to conduct market research, at least to know where in New York City is the most prosperous and where is the best place for breaking glass.
"Mr. Wang, Mr. Zhu, just go to the aquarium with me."
"good!"
After breakfast, Tang Jieton also came over, and he took Zhao Shanhe and the others to the aquarium. After arriving at the place, they didn't have to wait too long. Zhao Shanhe saw First in the conference room.
This was a man in his fifties, with a thin face and a very typical American appearance. What caught Zhao Shanhe's attention the most were his eyes.
Sharp as a hawk.
Being stared at by him will make you shudder.
Just by relying on these eyes, Zhao Shanhe knew that it was best to be honest when speaking and doing things in front of him. If you say that you can't fish in troubled waters, he seems to be able to see through your mind.
"Welcome friends from China."
After a brief introduction, Pfister smiled and said: "I am really honored to meet the founder of Jade Bird Glass. In fact, I have wanted to meet you for a long time, and it just so happened that Tang Jieton recommended me this time.
, I agreed."
"Mr. Pfister, have you heard of me?" Zhao Shanhe asked with a smile.
"certainly!"
Pfister nodded as he should and said calmly: "Many cars in the United States today are equipped with windshields made of your Bluebird glass. If you say that I don't plan to build this aquarium, I don't care about tempered glass.
Now. Since I want to build an aquarium, and I know that you made the windshield of the car, how can I not know who you are?"
I see.
This is true.
"We came here with sincerity and want to cooperate with Mr. First. Mr. First has also read our information. Do you have any suggestions for us?" Zhao Shanhe asked.
road.
"suggestion?"
Pfister shook his head and skillfully opened a pack of cigars. When he wanted to hand it to Zhao Shanhe, he refused. Pfister lit the cigar himself and started smoking. A strong aroma soon filled the conference room.
Tobacco aroma.
"I don't have any suggestions. As long as the quality of your products is high enough, then we can cooperate."
"You can rest assured that the quality of our products is impeccable. Since I dare to lead a team here, I dare to guarantee this. If you have concerns, you can take our samples and compare them with those of other factories at any time.
."
Zhao Shanhe looked at Feist with a calm expression.
"Our samples have been handed over to you. You can evaluate them at any time."
"Appraisal is necessary, so let's wait for the results of the appraisal to come out before talking about this matter."
"OK."
While the two were chatting, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the conference room door, and then several people walked in. After seeing who the leading man was, Pfister's expression darkened.
"Little Kraft, what are you doing here?"
Little Kraft?
The moment Zhao Shanhe heard the name, his eyes couldn't help but narrowed slightly. Having studied the information yesterday, he certainly knew who Little Kraft was. He was the boss of Sixiang Glass.
Sixiang Glass used to have a cooperative relationship with Pfister, but now it seems that Pfister is very cold and hostile to him.
But the question is, didn't Tang Jieton say that Si Xiang Glass will also participate in this bidding? If this is really the case, there should be some inside story, otherwise Feist would just kick Si Xiang Glass away. Why bother?
Agree to Little Kraft's bid.
"What am I here for?"
Little Kraft, who was as tall as a bear, glanced over with a sly smile. After ignoring First's cold eyes, he suddenly said to Zhao Shanhe: "Are you the boss of Jade Bird Glass in China?"
"Yes, it's me!" Zhao Shanhe said calmly.
"It's your words that are best. I would like to advise you, this is not your China, and this is not the place you should come to. The order from the aquarium is not something you can get just because you want it. If you are sensible, just leave as soon as possible."
Kraft said proudly.
"Little Kraft, what are you talking about?"
The moment these words came to light, Pfister's face couldn't help but change, he glared and shouted: "Mr. Zhao was invited by me, and he brought Bluebird Glass to participate in the bidding meeting of the aquarium. Like you, he is bidding.
Shang, why do you threaten him like this? If you dare to do this again, I will try my best not to build an aquarium, and I will not give you the qualification to participate!"
"hey-hey!"
Little Kraft smiled unmoved.
The faces of Wang Houde and others were terrifyingly gloomy.
"He is such an arrogant and domineering person. No wonder First will not cooperate with him. With his personality, how can he produce high-quality tempered glass?"
Zhao Shanhe sneered from the bottom of his heart.
He didn't expect to be threatened like this on the first day of reporting, but little Kraft, if you think this will make me back down, you are wrong. I will not be intimidated by you.
"Little Kraft, right? Listen to me, I'm here to bid for the aquarium, not to argue with you. If you want to beat me, no problem, just talk about the product. As long as you think about Glass
The quality of our products is good enough. If we lose, I have nothing to say.”
"But if you want to make me quit with such low-level threats, then don't even think about it."
"I will stay with you until the end!"
Zhao Shanhe didn't squint his eyes and looked indifferent.
"Okay, let's just wait and see."
Little Kraft chuckled, then waved his hand casually, and someone immediately brought over a document bag. After putting it on the table, he said casually: "Fister, according to your request, our Thinking Glass has reported in."
, then we’ll see you in three days.”
"Little Kraft, you don't have to be so persistent," Feist said coldly after glancing at the document bag.
"Persistence?"
Little Kraft's big copper bell-like eyes suddenly stared, and he said angrily: "Pfist, why do you think you have to do this? Isn't it good for you to cooperate honestly with our Thinking Glass? Our
Although there are some quality issues with the glass, aren't they all trivial matters? Why do you insist on taking care of these trivial matters? "
"Now they say I'm persistent."
"I don't want to be persistent, but isn't this all forced by you? Listen to me, I will treat this bidding as if you are messing around and venting your grievances. I asked you to do this, but
You'd better cooperate with us, Sixiang Glass, otherwise you will know the consequences."
"Let's go!"
After saying that, Little Kraft turned around and left.
The people at the aquarium watched them leave, all indignant.
"This is simply unreasonable! How can they be so rampant?"
"How can you say it's possible? They can!"
"Boss, no matter what, I can't cooperate with Simiang Glass this time. The quality of their glass is too bad. I dare say that if their glass is used, the aquarium will be in big trouble."
…
Listening to these angry shouts, Pfister waved his hands to suppress everyone's noise, smiled helplessly at Zhao Shanhe, and said slowly: "Mr. Zhao, I'm telling you a joke."
"I don't care, but Mr. Pfister, what's going on? Haven't you guys kicked Sixiang Glass out? How can you come back to participate in the bidding? Could it be that this little Kraft has some background?"
Zhao Shanhe asked thoughtfully.
"You're right, that's why."
Pfister took a long puff of his cigar, and in the swirling smoke, he sighed and said: "Behind Little Kraft is a person who I don't want to offend. It was also because of this person's recommendation that I joined Si.
Only if we cooperate with Xiang Glass, we will use their products to build an aquarium, but who would have thought that this would cause problems."
"That's why I canceled my cooperation with them and thought about bidding."
"But what I didn't expect is that this little Kraft is so unwilling to give up and insists on continuing to cooperate with our aquarium. But it doesn't matter. You don't have to worry about it. I gave him a chance to participate. It doesn't mean that he can win the bid.
.In fact, it is absolutely impossible for him to win the bid. I did this purely to give face to the people behind him."
"But what if that person threatens you?" Zhao Shanhe asked calmly.
"Threaten me?"
Pfister's expression, which had been frowning just now, suddenly became arrogant the moment he heard these words.
He said with stern eyes: "I gave little Kraft a chance to participate. If he loses, it means his skills are inferior to others. Since his skills are inferior to others, I believe that person will have nothing to say. If he insists on continuing to make trouble
If so, do you really think there is no one behind me?"
I see.
Let's just say, Feist is not a small character, he is also a big shot. How can he say that there is no support behind him?
He could give Kraft the opportunity to participate, but he would not say he was afraid enough to continue agreeing to cooperate.
If that's really the case, why do we need to bid?
If that really happens, the aquarium will be completely destroyed.
"Mr. Zhao, you don't need to take the threat he just made to you seriously. As long as you are in New York City, I can guarantee your personal safety." Pfister said seriously.
"Thank you, Mr. First!" Zhao Shanhe said with a smile.
"That's right! I'm really optimistic about your Bluebird Glass," Feist said.
"Me too, I really hope to cooperate with you and let you see the quality of our Bluebird glass."
As soon as Zhao Shanhe finished speaking, before Feist could reply, a sarcastic sneer came from outside the conference room. Before anyone arrived, the voice came in first.
"What's the quality of your Blue Bird glass? What kind of quality can it have? Isn't it just a flower stand?"
Who is this?
Zhao Shanhe looked over instinctively.
Appearing at the door of the conference room was a man with sinister eyes. He was wearing a baseball cap and a baseball uniform. Although he was short, he exuded a domineering atmosphere.
He is Alex, the boss of Antelope Glass.
Zhao Shanhe's biggest competitor on this trip.
"Hello Mr. Pfister!"
Alex walked into the conference room and glanced at Zhao Shanhe, then walked towards Feist, handed over a box, and said with a smile: "I know you like to smoke cigars, but I found these with great difficulty.
Excellent product, try it."
"Thanks."
Feist happily took it.
Pfister was obviously much kinder to Alex than he was to Little Kraft. The reason was also very simple, because Antelope Glass deserved his treatment. And if it weren't for the addition of Bluebird Glass this time, Pfister would even
Will directly sign a contract with Antelope Glass.
The product quality of Antelope Glass is also impeccable.
"Mr. Alex, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Zhao Shanhe Zhao, the boss of Jade Bird Glass from China."
"Mr. Zhao, this is Alex, the boss of Antelope Glass."
"You are both glass makers, so we are colleagues. Let's get to know each other!"
Feist made the introduction with a smile on his face.
"Hmph, Chinese people can also make glass?"
Who would have thought that just as Pfister finished speaking, before it was Zhao Shanhe's turn to speak, Alex's eyes looked over with disdain, and his words were even more harsh.
Feist's expression suddenly changed.
Zhao Shanhe's pupils shrank suddenly.
"Alex, what do you mean? Are you deliberately looking for trouble?"
"Looking for trouble? Are you worthy of me looking for trouble? Zhao Shanhe, right? Let me tell you, in my eyes, you Chinese manufacturers are all rubbish, and it is impossible to reach the level of elegance. I really wonder, how can you have the nerve to come?
Participating in the bidding? Do you know that the quality of your so-called Blue Bird tempered glass is not even as good as that of Sixiang Glass?"
"If I were you, I would get out of here as soon as possible!"
"Stop embarrassing yourself here!"
Alex's expression is arrogant and his attitude is strong. Every word he speaks is belittling China's manufacturing. Combined with his arrogant demeanor, it gives people a feeling of superiority.
This made Pfister restless.
He knew that Alex was domineering, but he didn't expect him to be so domineering, leaving no face for himself. How should I handle myself when you say this?
"Mr. Alex, there may be a misunderstanding about this matter," Pfister said quickly.
"Misunderstand?"
Alex sneered and said the words slowly, which made Pfister's expression change drastically.
