"Mr. Surak." Li Hongbo was also communicating with Zhang Weijie in English at this time.
"I am honored to be able to receive you. I wonder if there is anything I can do for you?" Li Hongbo looked at Zhang Weijie and continued.
"I'm here, of course, for business." Zhang Weijie naturally replied with great dignity at this time: "I have a batch of very good watches in hand that I want to sell in Shanghai, so I need to find an agent now.
"
"Clock?" After hearing Zhang Weijie's words, Li Hongbo showed a smile on his face.
"Mr. Surak, although our company is not a big company, we have been selling watches for many years, so I am afraid that our interest in this agent is not that strong!" Li Hongbo did not wait for Zhang Weijie to speak.
, then continued.
"Oh, are you talking about these fakes you sell?" As Li Hongbo finished speaking, Zhang Weijie responded with a smile.
Then Zhang Weijie directly pointed to a floor clock placed in the reception room and said: "If I read it correctly, this is a Qingdao imitation, imitating the 'Angwen De Emperor'."
"But the workmanship on the outside looks rough, and it's very troublesome to re-oil it once a month. There's no way it can be compared with the real thing."
As Zhang Weijie finished speaking, Li Hongbo became speechless for a moment.
Zhang Weijie naturally noticed this, but he didn't say much.
In order to catch all these people, he had an in-depth understanding of Senxin Trading Company. The main foreign business projects of Senxin Trading Company were imported watches.
So when he opened his mouth, he spoke in such an expert manner. Of course, in order to show his expertise, he also made a lot of preparations.
"Your vision is really admirable. This is indeed made in Qingdao, but the things we usually sell are Swiss." Li Hongbo replied with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
"Why are you so obsessed with Swiss products? Although the clocks made in Switzerland are indeed very sophisticated, in terms of floor clocks, wall clocks, and table clocks, they cannot be compared with German products."
"Besides, I believe Mr. Li must know about German clocks and Swiss watches. Germany's Kenning is the real number one brand. Its nighttime stopper was patented in the United States. The escapement is special.
Gear rolling technology, coupled with unparalleled craftsmanship, I don’t believe there is any brand in the world that can compete with her.” Although Zhang Weijie’s tone sounded indifferent, he could not hide his dismissive attitude at all.
As Zhang Weijie finished speaking, Li Hongbo understood in an instant that he had met an expert today.
And he is also a real expert, because if you are not an expert, you would not be able to say these words.
"Are you representing the Kenning family?" Li Hongbo rolled his eyes and asked tentatively.
"Yes." Zhang Weijie replied casually.
However, Li Hongbo shook his head slightly, and then said directly: "It's unlikely. Although the Kenning family has goods in China, I have never heard of any agents."
In response to this, Zhang Weijie just smiled slightly, and then said with some disdain: "When Joseph, the founder of the Kenning family, passed away, I went to attend his funeral, and little Joseph and Fritz took over the entire Kenning family.
After starting my business, I am ready to change Joseph’s sales ideas.”
"And now Germany is short of supplies. Most of the supplies that can be provided for watch manufacturing are used in the military."
"So if the Kennings want to continue to survive and expand, they can't just set up their production base in the Black Forest. Therefore, opening factories overseas is their new idea."
"As an old friend of the Kenning family, the Sulak family is honored to have obtained the license. We will be fully responsible for the sales of Kenning in the Far East and will consider opening a factory in China."
As Zhang Weijie finished speaking, Li Hongbo didn't know what to say for a moment. After a slight pause, he continued to ask Zhang Weijie: "I was lucky enough to visit the Kenning family's factory in the Black Forest before.
I still remember the iconic sign at the door of Kenning’s factory..."
"Are you talking about the 'Vienna Street Lamp'?" Zhang Weijie seemed to have no time to think and blurted out: "You went there before 1936, right? But after Joseph passed away, in order to commemorate him, the 'Vienna Street Lamp' and his
Buried together."
As Zhang Weijie finished speaking, all the doubts in Li Hongbo and Wu Shahua's hearts disappeared.
However, none of them knew that Zhang Weijie had thought about these possible problems before taking action, so he specially found a "Koenigl Co., Ltd." who had been to the Black Forest, which was the company that produced the Kenning family.
Therefore, Zhang Weijie knew all these things, and the purpose was to prevent these current problems from arising.
Of course, the reason why he did this was because he was influenced by Li Wei. When making action plans, Li Wei would consider various possibilities and then formulate corresponding plans.
What he has learned has led to imitation, so his style and habits were naturally learned by Yang Zhenggang, Zhang Weijie and others.
At this time, Li Hongbo also had a smile on his face. Although the profits from drugs were very high, all these profits were taken away by the secret service and used as military expenses.
As for the expenses of this contact point, the annual allocation is quite limited.
Therefore, if he can become the general agent of the Kenning family in Shanghai, the profits generated will be enough for him to live a very comfortable life.
"Mr. Surak, I was really rude just now. I think we can have a good discussion about the possibility of cooperation." At this time, Li Hongbo also made up his mind to win this business, so he said to Zhang Weijie enthusiastically.
"This is the purpose of my coming, but I must know the strength of your company and the quality of your personnel." Zhang Weijie also responded with a smile.
"Of course, of course." Li Hongbo immediately said hurriedly: "We are closed today and will not be open for business. Mr. Chairman, please call all the employees of the company."
As Li Hongbo finished speaking, Wu Shahua immediately nodded in agreement.
