Chapter 118 Tough Negotiation
"How much?!" Everyone was surprised when they saw the number of fingers Lu Hai pointed out.
Although Liu Guowei was a little shocked, he recovered quickly. After all, this batch of inventory was made of inferior materials, so no one wanted it even if the price was reduced by half.
The fabric produced was defective so no one wanted it.
Even if it is sold to ordinary people, no one is interested in it.
Is it because the fabrics from the supply and marketing cooperative are not as good as before, so they buy your defective products?
Nowadays, because of his second uncle, the reputation of the National Cotton Mill No. 1 and No. 2 has become very bad in the industry. As long as it is said that the fabrics come from these two factories, people don't want to look at them at all.
After all, they were defective products returned from various places.
As for sending it to the countryside for a low-price promotion, that's fine.
But this touches the policy red line.
After all, we have a planned economy now, and we implement unified purchase and sale. Things like cloth are basically the work of the supply and marketing cooperatives. If you buy them under other names, wouldn't that be handing the handle to your political opponents?
Moreover, the amount is so large, is it possible to expect the locals to turn a blind eye?
In Liu Guowei's opinion, if Lu Hai really planned to take over this batch of goods himself, he might suffer a loss.
After all, doing business has risks.
However, if the goods are not approved and the problem is not solved, the factory’s capital chain will be broken and it will face the risk of bankruptcy at any time. The state has also made it clear that it will not provide capital transfusions to the factory.
Although Liu Guowei wanted to take action against Zhang Zhiyong's previous power struggle, he had to endure it because the current situation was critical.
Therefore, Liu Guowei is very conflicted now. On one side is his good brother, and on the other side are so many people in the factory. Now he doesn't know whether to say it or not.
But when Liu Guowei was still struggling, Zhang Zhiyong spoke first.
"Comrade Lu Hai, aren't you too cruel? You only offer 50 for goods worth millions?" Zhang Zhiyong said with an unpleasant expression.
Although they couldn't make any money, the price difference was too big. Even though they had previously reduced the price by half, no one was interested.
However, they knew that Lu Hai could make money with this batch of goods!
So, when they heard Lu Hai slash the price down to a bare minimum in one breath, they naturally felt unwilling.
"I'm a scoundrel?" Lu Hai sneered, "Okay, if you think I'm a scoundrel, then let's not talk about it. Anyway, you know the quality of this batch of goods. I don't think anyone else would want this batch of goods except me."
The current situation is just as Lu Hai said, no one outside wants this batch of goods at all, so the only way for them to sell this batch of goods may be Lu Hai.
In this pure buyer's market, the price is entirely decided by Lu Hai.
Not to mention 50, if Lu Hai was really evil, he would directly offer 30. They would probably have no choice but to sell it to Lu Hai.
After all, on one side is their future, and on the other side is the factory's performance. People like them will definitely choose to protect their own future.
As long as the factory has money and can operate normally again, the higher-ups' impression of them will improve, and their future will not be completely dark.
However, even if it is operational again, the scale of this factory will definitely be much smaller than before.
But what does this have to do with them?
As long as they can get through this difficulty, they can find a way or use their connections to transfer to another state-owned factory in the future. This matter will be over and they can still live a happy life.
Hearing Lu Hai's attitude of giving up the job without saying anything, Zhang Zhiyong became anxious for a moment.
No, why is this person so lacking in negotiation skills?
When we usually have meetings and discuss business with others, isn't it all about back and forth and bickering with each other?
Why did this happen to Lu Hai? Even though they were scolded by him, they still made demands on him.
Even so, we still have to be very careful, otherwise, as you see now, Lu Hai has simply quit, and no one will want this batch of goods.
"Comrade Lu Hai, let's discuss it. Look, there are so many people waiting in our factory..." Zhang Zhiyong's face looked very ugly. When had he ever begged anyone in such a humble manner?
At the same time, he gave a pleading look to Liu Guowei standing beside him.
After all, Lu Hai has a good relationship with Liu Guowei. If Liu Guowei asks for it, the price might go up.
But Liu Guowei didn't even look at Zhang Zhiyong's eyes that seemed to be asking for help.
Aren’t you capable?
Then you do it yourself. Anyway, I don't really want to do this kind of work. If his family hadn't transferred him back, Liu Guowei felt that it would be pretty good to stay in the county town. There would be no intrigue and it would be comfortable.
When Zhang Zhiyong saw Liu Guowei who turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside, he felt a little angry.
Damn it, are you the factory manager or am I the factory manager?
Why am I the one begging for help in such a humble manner?
But you know what, although Liu Guowei is the factory director, he has the support of the Liu family. Even if he quits, he can still live more comfortably than many people. After all, it was his second uncle who was in trouble, not the entire Liu family.
Now the Liu family has been removed, and although it is painful, a starving camel is bigger than a horse.
Even though he had Liu Guowei under his control in the factory, outside, in the entire Kyoto circle of influence, Zhang Zhiyong was just a small ant.
Therefore, no matter how unwilling he was in his heart, he could only beg Lu Hai humbly.
Now Zhang Zhiyong couldn't help but regret it in his heart.
The 20 profit points reward promised to Lu Hai at the beginning was so good!
It's just that I don't earn as much anymore, but at least I can still earn some. Nowadays, let alone earning any money, I'm afraid I can't expect any benefits at the end of the year.
Lu Hai glanced at Zhang Zhiyong and said with a smile, "Negotiation? Sure, 40."
"What?" Zhang Zhiyong heard it, how come it has become lower? "Just now I said..."
"30 million..."
"No, no, no, just 50. Just 50. Comrade Lu Hai, we agree." Zhang Zhiyong quickly stopped Lu Hai from saying the next word.
How can this be considered a negotiation?
This Lu Hai is clearly ripping us off!
But even so, he could only hold his nose and bear it.
Now it is sold at at least half the price.
It was consistent with their original idea.
Just thinking about not being able to make money now makes me regretful.
"Okay, 50, but I have a condition." Lu Hai said lightly.
When he heard that there were conditions, Zhang Zhiyong's heart skipped a beat.
To be honest, he really doesn't want to face Lu Hai now.
Where is the appearance of young people?
This is clearly a thousand-year-old fox!
This attitude of being unyielding even if it means being right is so fucking terrifying!
"What conditions?" Zhang Zhiyong said cautiously.
Now he was really afraid that he would say something wrong or use the wrong tone, and then Lu Hai would simply quit or lower his price again.
"I need to pay this money in three installments, but I can pay it all off within half a year." Lu Hai said.
When Zhang Zhiyong and others heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought it was something else.
They have seen many cases like this of installment payment in the past.
After all, in this day and age, it is really too much to ask an individual to come up with hundreds of thousands of dollars at one time.
So, Zhang Zhiyong answered directly,
"Yes, but you need to sign a contract. If you default on payment, you will be held legally responsible."
"no problem."
