Ordinarily, since Chen Taizhong's time in Paris is much shorter than when he is away, and he is willing to delegate power, Yuan Dun, the second-in-command of the European Office, should be the actual top-in-command.
But unfortunately, others don't see it that way, not only the people in the embassy, but also those foreigners who pay attention to order. This can be seen in the distribution of Quyanghuang.
As soon as the situation in France opens up, the UK, Italy and others will soon know about it, and Director Yuan will be responsible for the next contact. But neither Nick nor Anthony, no one has seriously discussed this matter with him. Abel has been here.
Several times. Although I was quite polite, I mainly wanted to know the delivery time, quantity and cycle of Quyanghuang.
Things were different when Chen Taizhong came. On the second day after he arrived, Abel came in the morning, Anthony in the afternoon, and a day later, Nick also sent someone over. He didn't have time to come in person.
The congressman has now been promoted to the speaker and is currently touring his territory and delivering some speeches. The person he sent humbly explained to Director Chen, "Sir, he said that his election cannot be achieved without the strong support of Chinese friends."
That's for sure. Chen Taizhong thought of the two Jingdezhen porcelain pieces made of heroin that he gave to Nick. He couldn't help but smile. He didn't know how this guy was used in the end. "Please tell Mr. Nick that I will personally do it next week."
I went to the UK to visit him and I haven’t congratulated him on his election.”
"So, about Chinese rice wine?" Is that right? It was about the salesperson of Quyanghuang who finally brought the topic to the right track. "Can we talk about it in detail?"
"Talk to my deputy director." Xiao Chen Taizhong patted Yuan Se on the shoulder and smiled at the visitor, "Of course, if you have the latest status of the Galileo project, I am willing to talk to you.
"The Galileo Planner took a breath after hearing this. This topic is not something that just anyone can know the details of. In fact, when he talked about the Galileo Plan in life, he mostly complained that the government did not have his permission.
, and misappropriated the taxes he paid.
1. "I hope there won't be another inexplicable Copernicus plan. Otherwise, I will consider immigrating to Sweden. There are passionate and bold blonde beauties, top-notch pornographic movies. Even if you sit and do not work, there are taxpayers who will pay for you."
Buying bread, well, I like it."
"No? Then you can talk to my deputy director." Chen Taizhong smiled and walked away. There was no small person in his eyes. "I also want to visit Mr. Mujia of Alcatel. At the beginning of the year, Alcatel's Asia Pacific Region
The headquarters has been moved to Shanghai. This is the first company among international communication equipment suppliers to set up its Asia-Pacific headquarters in China.
The negotiations between Alcatel and the Ministry of Information Industry are still going on. This will not happen overnight. The French are very tenacious, but if Chinese cadres are determined to delay something, then it can be described as more than tenacious.
Mr. Mujia was also struggling with this. He heard that Chen Taizhong was here in the past two days, so he asked him to meet and talk at his convenience. Director Chen was wondering whether some components could be entrusted if Phoenix's mobile phone was to be launched as soon as possible.
Alcatel processing, I thought it would be nice to see it.
What he regrets is that the French cannot process components for Phoenix, because Alcatel outsources a lot of its own mobile phone components. Speaking of which, this is also a characteristic of most French companies. The core technologies have some
, but many times the manufacturing process is not paid attention to.
Compared with the Germans, who are famous for their industrial manufacturing, the French pay more attention to brand management and pursue maximization of profits. The French are the most willing to try monopoly operations in Europe. This is the case with Abel, who later tried to monopolize Chinese mineral water and even
The same is true for Danone in the beverage market.
If Mr. Muji cannot provide good service, then Chen Taizhong will not provide him with good service. However, when talking about whether Alcatel should insist on controlling Shanghai Bell, he still put forward his own suggestions.
"Or, both parties can each hold 50% of the shares." He thought of the equity distribution plan for the acquisition of Luo Feng Motors, and couldn't help but show off his business knowledge, "Shanghai Bell can just give you one more share."
"Thank you for your suggestion, we are planning to do this." Mr. Muji looked at him with a smile. Then he waved his hands helplessly, "But you probably won't agree." Of course, I mean, the extra
, to belong to us Alcatel
"It seems to be a small irreconcilable contradiction." Chen Taizhong also smiled, feeling a little ashamed. It seems that Xiao Mumu's suggestion is not her first. If you want to play with business concepts, you still need to learn more from these foreign devils.
ah.
After coming out of Alcatel, he went to the French-Chinese Human Rights Protection Association. That place was very close to Shi Liang's supermarket. It was a low-rise two-story building that looked more like a temporary building.
Having just returned to Paris, Chen Taizhong had a lot of social activities. However, the absurd thing is that the place he wanted to go to most was not allowed to go. It has been half a month since Meng Yong sent him an email. Colonna of the National Liberation Front of Corsica strongly
Ask for some weapons.
He was in China at that time, so it was naturally inconvenient to contact him, but now that he had just arrived in Paris, it was still inconvenient to react. Otherwise, it might cause unnecessary associations. So he decided to sneak back quietly after entering the UK.
Chen Taizhong arrived in London on Tuesday afternoon. Cai Jingsheng, deputy secretary-general of the Phoenix Municipal Government, had arrived in London on Monday evening and is waiting for him here.
The boss of the Butterfly Coke Group has yet to be decided, but Phoenix has already started preparing to supply goods to the UK. Before supplying the goods, the city must initial an intention with Birmingham and take the coke samples here for testing.
.
Ordinarily, since the boss has not yet decided, this procedure should be presided over by Yang Bo. He is the deputy mayor in charge of industry, but unfortunately, his relationship with Chen Taizhong is not harmonious, and the relationship between executive deputy mayor Zeng Xuehui and Chen Taizhong is even more tense.
It is precisely for this reason that the integration of the Coal and Coke Group was carried out by Tian Liping. As mentioned earlier, although it involves the interests of all aspects, Mayor Tian's intervention is more deterrent, but at the same time, it is also because the city has no
The right deputy mayor is in charge of this matter.
Tian Liping caught the matter. Zhang Yaodong wanted to intervene in the appointment of personnel of the Coal and Coke Group, but Mayor Tian was determined not to let go, so it caused difficulties for the boss.
During this trip to London, Zhang Yaodong wanted Jiang Yong, deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, to check things out. Jiang Yong and Chen Taizhong are not very close, but
However, Tian Liping refused to agree. We are engaged in commodity export negotiations. What are the people in your party committee messing around with? Secretary Zhang wanted to be serious and suppress Lao Tian's arrogance, but think about it, over there in Paris... that guy
It's too difficult to shave my head.
Zhang Yaodong is confident that after Phoenix has a small but slight upper hand, if he goes to Europe to be ignored, it would be a slap in the face. He finally decided not to make a fuss about this matter, and let you, surnamed Tian, be proud of you.
That's what he thought, but Tian Liping couldn't send the right person. Mayor Tian didn't have time himself. Jing Jingli was also very busy, so he thought about it and sent a deputy secretary-general, Cai Jingsheng, who was more pleasing to the eye.
.
Secretary-General Cai is also a boss in his early forties. Phoenix City does not talk much about the deputy mayor who should be responsible. His responsibilities and powers have some overlap with Wu Yan and Yang Bo, but in detail, his relationship with Ji Jianxin
Be better.
Cai Jingsheng accepted this task and brought a secretary who could speak English with him. He only saw Chen Taizhong the next day, but how dare he complain? Director Chen is known as the mayor's killer. Yang Ruifeng, Zhu Bingsong and Zhao Xicai all arrived one after another.
This person has a small deputy secretary-general who is junior to him, and he really cannot afford to offend such a person.
Chen Taizhong also came here out of public interest. After the three of them met, Nico's car to pick him up arrived. Speaker Nico came from a gangster background, so he didn't really talk about greeting and sending people off. However, when dealing with Chen Taizhong, there are some things you should pay attention to.
A little bit is good.
It was seven o'clock in the evening when we arrived in Birmingham. Nick received three guests from China in his villa. It is worth mentioning that the wine on the table was actually "Quyang Huang"
During the chat after the meal, Nick seemed to casually mention, "Taizhong, there are other Chinese people who are also in contact with my friend, and the FOB price they quoted is five US dollars per ton lower than yours."
Don’t you think something should be done?”
According to the market conditions at the time, five U.S. dollars was equivalent to more than 40 yuan in RMB, and with the export tax rebate, it was over 50 yuan. This number may not seem high, but when multiplied by 200,000 tons, it is a terrifying number.
Chen Taizhong was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes. "Bi, stare fiercely, which bastard did it?"
"I don't know who it is." Nick smiled, enjoying the shock shown by Chen. "If I can't offend you, there will always be people who can," "But they do exist.
Cai Jingsheng doesn’t understand English, but does the little secretary next to him understand? After whispering a few words, Secretary-General Cai was also shocked and muttered in a low voice, "Reduced by more than fifty yuan." Can this still make money?"
"Actually, there is a difference in shipping costs." The little secretary is not without merit. He is very willing to prove the value of his existence to the leader. "If these people are close to the sea, they will have an advantage over us."
"Is that so?" Chen Taizhong pondered for a moment, then snorted, "I'm wondering why when I do something, I always encounter people who make trouble in this way. Nick, I need to know where these bastards come from.
.”
"Of course, that's exactly what I'm going to tell you." Nick smiled and nodded.
In fact, when Chen Taizhong heard Nick's words, he reacted and said that if he wanted to talk about other business, it would be fine. It was really not a strange thing for the business discussed with Birmingham this time to spread.
For this transaction, he first targeted Subo Pushan Coal Industry. When there was a problem there, he moved to Phoenix. Not only did the city integrate coal and coke resources with great fanfare, but he also had a private collision with the Lan family, Zhao Chen.
The madman also tried to get involved in the coal business and ship goods from him.
This is why the whole world knows about it when things are not done. In this case, it is normal for someone to come and pry the business, and the coal coke business is not as bad as Quyang.
Qu Yanghuang was also very popular in the early stage, but several of the network channels were in Chen Taizhong's own hands. He was running around to promote it, and the image and packaging were relatively easy to recognize. This was something that Jiao Tan couldn't compare to. Who can
From the appearance of the coke, can we tell whether it is Shanxi coke or Rangdong coke?
Of course, after Quyanghuang becomes popular, it will inevitably encounter the impact of similar products. This is certain. But there is no need to think so much now.
After the meal, Nick kindly invited several guests to stay at his place, but Chen Taizhong refused. After finding a hotel to stay in, Cai Jingsheng didn't want to rest, but found him worriedly. "As for the new competitors. Chen Taizhong
Director, do you have any good suggestions?"
"Let's wait for Nick to implement the situation first." Since Chen Taizhong has figured out the joints, he is not in a hurry. "Director Cai, what do you think?"
"Let's see if it's a state-owned enterprise or a private enterprise over there." Cai Jingsheng responded with a wry smile. But he didn't expect that everything was at stake, and there were such variables. "If it's a state-owned enterprise, let the organization help coordinate it. If it's a private enterprise,
Remain…"
Having said this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Since we have already come, let's have a price war to see who is afraid of who. However, we can give you fifty yuan or more per ton." Tsk, I am ashamed of Tian City.
You trust me, why don’t you ask the city for instructions?”
Everyone knows that when it comes to price wars, state-owned enterprises generally cannot beat private companies, and state-owned enterprises don’t like price wars very much unless the opponent is also a state-owned enterprise. Otherwise, you may have to bear responsibility for selling things. Secretary-General Cai said so, and he is willing to take risks.
Of course, his original intention to discuss with Director Chen was for the two of them to get to know each other first, and then report to the city for instructions. This is the normal procedure in official circles.
"This price war may not necessarily be fought." Chen Taizhong hesitated and shook his head slowly. He could imagine that this time he would most likely be at odds with the Lan family, but so what?
Just as the little secretary said, the Lan family has a strong ability to organize supply of goods. Some places are really close to the sea. In terms of land transportation costs alone, they may have an advantage of more than 100 yuan per ton over Phoenix. Thinking of this,
He sneered, "Sit back and watch the Chinese pinch themselves. This is exactly what the British want."
"What do you mean, Director Chen?" Secretary-General Cai looked serious. That's right, let alone the British. Every buyer likes to sit and watch suppliers fight each other, and no one has a grudge against money, right?
However, the other party's quotation is already more than 40 times lower than ours. If we don't pinch it, wouldn't we hand over the contract to others? Cai Jingsheng doesn't have much dealings with foreigners. He also attaches great importance to this transaction. He was a little at a loss for a while.
"Fight the price." Alas, fight the price." Chen Taizhong sighed, feeling really bad, "What we sell are all Zhiyi...work products. The profit is not big in the first place, so forget it if it is Quyanghuang. Lijiu Shinai is a point.
No, I'm not used to their problems.
"That's right." Cai Jingsheng nodded calmly. Everyone would say this, but in this era of exchanging resources for foreign exchange, there are really not many people who dare to say this and plan to implement it. However, Director Chen
Not only can he control the wind and rain in Phoenix, but he is also said to have some tricks in Europe. Maybe, this is the legendary mentality of a strong man, right?
"First let's see who is competing for business with us." Chen Taizhong smiled slightly, a bright smile. "Director Cai, don't be anxious. Nothing is non-negotiable these days."
Near noon the next day, Nick heard news from another supplier, a trading company in Tianjin.
It must be pointed out that Speaker Ni learned about it through his own means. After all, he was once one of the underground kings in Birmingham. When working for Chen Taizhong, he didn't want to leak anything. He could get the information directly from his friends. But
, this may make Chen fall into some kind of passivity.
For this reason, Chen Taizhong pushed back one day and went to visit the buyer one day later. At noon, he finally learned the origin of the company in Tianjin. It was a very large company, from the Lan family camp.
Cai Jingsheng also confirmed the company's situation through his own channels. Facing a company with annual sales of tens of millions of dollars, he felt quite heavy, "Director Chen, I think it will be difficult for them to communicate."
"I don't think it's difficult to communicate." Chen Taizhong smiled slightly. His mind was not on this company. He was more concerned about the problem of the next company. "How can we get the British to accept the original price?"
Of course, just because his mind was not on this matter did not mean that he was not doing things. At four o'clock in the afternoon, he and Cai Jingsheng took their secretary and found the hotel where the company's negotiators were staying.
The visitor was very impressive and stayed in a high-end hotel. He also booked two executive suites and one standard room for four men and three women.
When Chen Taizhong rang the doorbell, there were actually five people present in the suite, drinking tea and chatting. The young man who opened the door saw three yellow men coming in. He frowned and moved quickly. He blocked the door and said, "You guys
Who are you looking for?" "Is Mr. Hao here?" Chen Taizhong smiled slightly, raised his hand and pushed him, "You, get out of here!"
When the man saw him stretching out his hand, he subconsciously raised his hand to grab his hand. His movements were unusually vigorous and he looked like he had practiced it. But how could he stop Chen Taizhong? The next moment, he felt that his eyesight was dazzled and his hand was empty.
Immediately afterwards, a strong force came from his chest, and he involuntarily took two steps back.
However, this person's skills were not limited. After taking a few steps back, he took advantage of the situation to balance his body. Then he squatted down slightly. His luck had already reached his waist and legs, and he was ready to pounce.
"Huh?" Chen Taizhong was a little surprised. He only thought that this person was a retired soldier or something. Unexpectedly, judging from his posture, he turned out to be someone who had practiced martial arts. At this moment, a dull voice sounded, Sun, wait a moment.
"
The speaker was a middle-aged bald fat man, who was sitting carelessly on the sofa with a cute little girl leaning next to him. Although he was fat, he had a tough look on his face, and he looked at him calmly.
By Chen Taizhong, "Who are you?"
"Phoenix Chen Taizhong, don't tell me you haven't heard of it." Chen Taizhong walked in with a smile. Behind him were the trembling Cai Jingsheng and the secretary. These two also knew that Director Chen could fight, so they were not afraid of suffering immediate losses, but Chen
The director is so forceful when he makes a move, which makes everyone wary. Didn't you say that he is here to negotiate? How can you negotiate like this?
This middle-aged fat man is Mr. Hao. When he heard the other party introduce himself, his face was still expressionless, but there was a hint of strangeness in his eyes, "Oh, Phoenix man, why did you attack my driver?"
"I'm not here to talk nonsense with you." Chen Taizhong sat down on an armchair and looked at the other person with a smile, "I'm here to see Mr. Hao off on his way."
"Send me on my way?" No matter how calm Mr. Hao's face was, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he heard this ambiguous word, "Hmm" I don't quite understand what you mean, please explain more clearly."
"Birmingham has a nice scenery, but Mr. Hao, you stayed here a little too long." The smile on Chen Taizhong's face became brighter and brighter. "You're going back late, so maybe your family will be anxious."
"I've heard that Phoenix has someone like you." Mr. Hao snorted and stopped hiding it. As the boss of a large company, he naturally has his responsibilities, "But if you are so domineering like me,
Why?"
"Let me introduce you." Chen Taizhong pointed to Cai Jingsheng beside him, "This is Secretary-General Cai of our Phoenix Municipal Government. This time we are here to talk about coke supply. We are going to start work."
"You sell coke, we also want to sell coke." Mr. Hao's fat face still showed no expression. He spoke slowly, and even reached out to take the tea cup from his daughter's hand and took a sip. He lowered his eyelids and spoke.
"This market requires real skills. Everyone competes fairly based on their abilities. I'm in a good mood today."
"It's none of my business whether you're in a good mood or not." Chen Taizhong interrupted him without hesitation. The smile on his face remained as if the curse words were not what he said, "I said it. I'm not here to talk nonsense to you.
"I was the one who talked about this first. If you interfere like this, you just don't give me face. Leave now!"
This is Director Chen's logic. He always has to find reasons for doing things first, and he has to have reasons to be a bad customer. Yes, he thought he was being bullied, so he came to the door with confidence.
You have to tell me on a first-come, first-served basis!
As for fair competition, that’s nonsense. Your transportation costs are lower than mine. Is this fair? To say the least, even if the costs are similar, your profit expectations are lower than mine. Your profit expectations are lower than mine. This is called fair competition.
?
Mr. Chen is quite good at finding excuses. He has no choice but to convince others with his virtue. If not, he would not have brought Secretary-General Cai to the door with these two lightbulbs.
"Do you know who I am?" Mr. Hao looked at him with interest and said slowly. "Do you know what the consequences will be if you mess with me?"
Tomorrow evening from 7:30 to 8:30, Fengxiao will be interviewing in Sanjiang to answer questions from book friends. Friends who are interested can go shopping and enter from the "Famous Interviews" on the lower right side of the home page.
Ordinarily, since Chen Taizhong's time in Paris was much shorter than when he was away, and he was willing to delegate power, Yuan Dun, the second-in-command in the European Office, should be the actual top-in-command.
But unfortunately, others don't see it that way, not only the people in the embassy, but also those foreigners who pay attention to order. This can be seen in the distribution of Quyanghuang.
As soon as the situation in France opens up, the UK, Italy and others will soon know about it, and Director Yuan will be responsible for the next contact. But neither Nick nor Anthony, no one has seriously discussed this matter with him. Abel has been here.

After the meal, Nick kindly invited several guests to stay at his place, but Chen Taizhong refused. After finding a hotel to stay in, Cai Jingsheng didn't want to rest, but found him worriedly. "As for the new competitors. Chen Taizhong
Director, do you have any good suggestions?"
"Let's wait for Nick to implement the situation first." Since Chen Taizhong has figured out the joints, he is not in a hurry. "Director Cai, what do you think?"
"Let's see if it's a state-owned enterprise or a private enterprise over there." Cai Jingsheng responded with a wry smile. But he didn't expect that everything was at stake, and there were such variables. "If it's a state-owned enterprise, let the organization help coordinate it. If it's a private enterprise,
Remain…"
Having said this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Since we have already come, let's have a price war to see who is afraid of who. However, we can give you fifty yuan or more per ton." Tsk, I am ashamed of Tian City.
You trust me, why don’t you ask the city for instructions?”
Everyone knows that when it comes to price wars, state-owned enterprises generally cannot beat private companies, and state-owned enterprises don’t like price wars very much unless the opponent is also a state-owned enterprise. Otherwise, you may have to bear responsibility for selling things. Secretary-General Cai said so, and he is willing to take risks.
Of course, his original intention to discuss with Director Chen was for the two of them to get to know each other first, and then report to the city for instructions. This is the normal procedure in official circles.
"This price war may not necessarily be fought." Chen Taizhong hesitated and shook his head slowly. He could imagine that this time he would most likely be at odds with the Lan family, but so what?
Just as the little secretary said, the Lan family has a strong ability to organize supply of goods. Some places are really close to the sea. In terms of land transportation costs alone, they may have an advantage of more than 100 yuan per ton over Phoenix. Thinking of this,
He sneered, "Sit back and watch the Chinese pinch themselves. This is exactly what the British want."
"What do you mean, Director Chen?" Secretary-General Cai looked serious. That's right, let alone the British. Every buyer likes to sit and watch suppliers fight each other, and no one has a grudge against money, right?
However, the other party's quotation is already more than 40 times lower than ours. If we don't pinch it, wouldn't we hand over the contract to others? Cai Jingsheng doesn't have much dealings with foreigners. He also attaches great importance to this transaction. He was a little at a loss for a while.
"Fight the price." Alas, fight the price." Chen Taizhong sighed, feeling really bad, "What we sell are all Zhiyi...work products. The profit is not big in the first place, so forget it if it is Quyanghuang. Lijiu Shinai is a point.
No, I'm not used to their problems.
"That's right." Cai Jingsheng nodded calmly. Everyone would say this, but in this era of exchanging resources for foreign exchange, there are really not many people who dare to say this and plan to implement it. However, Director Chen
Not only can he control the wind and rain in Phoenix, but he is also said to have some tricks in Europe. Maybe this is the legendary strong man's mentality?
"First let's see who is competing for business with us." Chen Taizhong smiled slightly, a bright smile. "Director Cai, don't be anxious. Nothing is non-negotiable these days."
Near noon the next day, Nick heard news from another supplier, a trading company in Tianjin.
It must be pointed out that Speaker Ni learned about it through his own means. After all, he was once one of the underground kings in Birmingham. When working for Chen Taizhong, he didn't want to leak anything. He could get the information directly from his friends. But
, this may make Chen fall into some kind of passivity.
For this reason, Chen Taizhong pushed back one day and went to visit the buyer one day later. At noon, he finally learned the origin of the company in Tianjin. It was a very large company, from the Lan family camp.
Cai Jingsheng also confirmed the company's situation through his own channels. Facing a company with annual sales of tens of millions of dollars, he felt quite heavy, "Director Chen, I think it will be difficult for them to communicate."
"I don't think it's difficult to communicate." Chen Taizhong smiled slightly. His mind was not on this company. He was more concerned about the problem of the next company. "How can we get the British to accept the original price?"
Of course, just because his mind was not on this matter did not mean that he was not doing things. At four o'clock in the afternoon, he and Cai Jingsheng took their secretary and found the hotel where the company's negotiators were staying.
The visitor was very impressive and stayed in a high-end hotel. He also booked two executive suites and one standard room for four men and three women.
When Chen Taizhong rang the doorbell, there were actually five people present in the suite, drinking tea and chatting. The young man who opened the door saw three yellow men coming in. He frowned and moved quickly. He blocked the door and said, "You guys
Who are you looking for?" "Is Mr. Hao here?" Chen Taizhong smiled slightly, raised his hand and pushed him, "You, get out of here!"
When the man saw him stretching out his hand, he subconsciously raised his hand to grab his hand. His movements were unusually vigorous and he looked like he had practiced it. But how could he stop Chen Taizhong? The next moment, he felt that his eyesight was dazzled and his hand was empty.
Immediately afterwards, a strong force came from his chest, and he involuntarily took two steps back.
However, this person's skills were not limited. After taking a few steps back, he took advantage of the situation to balance his body. Then he squatted down slightly. His luck had already reached his waist and legs, and he was ready to pounce.
"Huh?" Chen Taizhong was a little surprised. He only thought that this person was a retired soldier or something. Unexpectedly, judging from his posture, he turned out to be someone who had practiced martial arts. At this moment, a dull voice sounded, Sun, wait a moment.
"
The speaker was a middle-aged bald fat man, who was sitting carelessly on the sofa with a cute little girl leaning next to him. Although he was fat, he had a tough look on his face, and he looked at him calmly.
By Chen Taizhong, "Who are you?"
"Phoenix Chen Taizhong, don't tell me you haven't heard of it." Chen Taizhong walked in with a smile. Behind him were the trembling Cai Jingsheng and the secretary. These two also knew that Director Chen could fight, so they were not afraid of suffering immediate losses, but Chen
The director is so forceful when he makes a move, which makes everyone wary. Didn't you say that he is here to negotiate? How can you negotiate like this?
This middle-aged fat man is Mr. Hao. When he heard the other party introduce himself, his face was still expressionless, but there was a hint of strangeness in his eyes, "Oh, Phoenix man, why did you attack my driver?"
"I'm not here to talk nonsense with you." Chen Taizhong sat down on an armchair and looked at the other person with a smile, "I'm here to see Mr. Hao off on his way."
"Send me on my way?" No matter how calm Mr. Hao's face was, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he heard this ambiguous word, "Hmm" I don't quite understand what you mean, please explain more clearly."
"Birmingham has a nice scenery, but Mr. Hao, you stayed here a little too long." The smile on Chen Taizhong's face became brighter and brighter. "You're going back late, so maybe your family will be anxious."
"I've heard that Phoenix has someone like you." Mr. Hao snorted and stopped trying to hide it. As the boss of a large company, he naturally has his responsibilities. "However, you are so domineering with me."
What?"
"Let me introduce you." Chen Taizhong pointed to Cai Jingsheng beside him, "This is Secretary-General Cai of our Phoenix Municipal Government. This time we are here to talk about coke supply. We are going to start work."
"You sell coke, we also want to sell coke." Mr. Hao's fat face still showed no expression. He spoke slowly, and even reached out to take the tea cup from his daughter's hand and took a sip. He lowered his eyelids and spoke.
"This market requires real skills. Everyone competes fairly based on their abilities. I'm in a good mood today."
"It's none of my business whether you're in a good mood or not." Chen Taizhong interrupted him without hesitation. The smile on his face remained as if the curse words were not what he said, "I said it. I'm not here to talk nonsense to you.
"I was the one who talked about this first. If you interfere like this, you just don't give me face. Leave now!"
This is Director Chen's logic. He always has to find reasons for doing things first, and he has to have reasons to be a bad customer. Yes, he thought he was being bullied, so he came to the door with confidence.
You have to tell me on a first-come, first-served basis!
As for fair competition, that’s nonsense. Your transportation costs are lower than mine. Is this fair? To say the least, even if the costs are similar, your profit expectations are lower than mine. Your profit expectations are lower than mine. This is called fair competition.
?
Mr. Chen is quite good at finding excuses. He has no choice but to convince others with his virtue. If not, he would not have brought Secretary-General Cai to the door with these two lightbulbs.
"Do you know who I am?" Mr. Hao looked at him with interest and said slowly. "Do you know what the consequences will be if you mess with me?"
