Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1206 Showdown
I was a little unconvinced and said: "Long-term investment is the inevitable trend of the group's development! It is urgent! You don't intend to let us make short-term investment all the time? The reason why I want to invest in Harbin Automobile's project is that I don't believe my intuition. Now, you can’t just rely on your intuition to do things all the time, it’s very dangerous! If you make a mistake, you’ll be lost forever!
I really did not start this project on a whim, but after careful consideration. First, this is a stepping stone to enter the automotive industry, which is what I have always wanted to do. Second, it is one of the three emerging industries of new energy in the future. Enter as soon as possible. , It is all beneficial and harmless to us! "

Dong Zong shook his head and objected: "I think we entered too early, and the time is wrong! The application of new energy in automobiles is still immature, the technology base is too weak, and the practical application in other industries is not mature enough. A new technology is immature before it is widely used in civilian use, which requires us to see the right time to intervene!"

I rolled my eyes and said in disapproval: "If it gets to that time, it will be too late! The first person to eat crabs is courage, the first person to sell crabs is a genius, and the person who follows to sell crabs is just following! Once the streets are full of crab sellers, there will be risks, not only may they not make money, but they will also imitate and self-defeating!"

Dong Zong gave me a blank look and said: "You talk so much nonsense, just because you are afraid that you will intervene too late, and drink other people's footwashing water! But look, what is the current chaos in the new energy vehicle market? Is there any Is the company making money? They are burning money, why don’t we wait for them to burn out the money before we go in, how good it would be!”

I snorted coldly and said, "But will there still be a market at that time? Will there still be our market? We all know that we can make a profit without losing money, so who would let us intervene? It won't be 1 to 2 million by then. It's time to invest!"

Dong Zong said in the same cold tone: "This is the power of capital. Why do you think that anyone will casually put out 1 million or 2 million yuan? Why can't people enter many industries because everyone knows how to make money? They don't have that strength! But we can! Otherwise, what are investment companies doing? They have money that others can't spend!"

Seeing that we were arguing, Yaoyang hurriedly persuaded him: "Let's talk about things, why are you so impatient! Let me tell you, it's going to be a dark road, or we can simply cut it in two and cut the mess quickly! Ha Qi It’s indeed a big problem, and now we can’t see the bottom, and we don’t know how much to invest? It’s not going to collapse, but it’s far away, and I don’t know when we will wait?”

I said helplessly: "If the national policy remains unchanged for a day, it means that this industry will rise sooner or later! I think that at any time, as long as it is the convenience that advanced technology can bring to people, it is an opportunity! It is a rare opportunity that must be seized. Otherwise, we will eventually withdraw from the stage of history and be eliminated by the times!"

Dong Zong suddenly smiled and said: "I used to be unrealistic, but now I am you! It is you who taught me to make empty talk misleading the country! You are too idealistic! All these years, Wanzhong has been committed to the development of high-tech , Change the quality of human life! The money invested in research and development over the years is enough to build countless factories! But after going around, I finally fell into the trap of capital! Now I have become realistic, but you have become idealistic By!"

I sneered and said: "Mr. Dong, I'm not an idealist. I just saw the right time. This is the national policy. Otherwise, what are so many subsidies? I'm following the trend! Before the Apple mobile phone came out, no one wanted to To join Apple's supply chain, who would want to do OEM for it, but you see which company is not proud of being Apple's supply chain, and which company does not want to do OEM for Apple? A technology is an earth-shaking change , is the rise of an entire supply chain! It may even lead to an industrial revolution!"

Dong Zong also began to say a little excitedly: "OEM is always OEM, or work for others, even if it becomes Apple's supply chain, so what? We are the boss, we are the owner, and we are the leader of the supply chain." Top? Don’t you want to be the middle link of others? Then we have to go back? Then we should directly develop high-tech and let them become our supply chain, instead of inventing new technologies when others have invented them. Go follow suit!"

I said disdainfully: "Then we can invent new technology, it doesn't require more investment, so we have to intervene when the technology is not yet mature, so that we can reduce our investment, and at the same time, we can get it earlier. Involved in the industry! Haqi is the best example, they lack money, they have technology, and we have money, we need a point of intervention, this is an opportunity! Moreover, we can control risks very well, control Haqi, Not every company we invest in can be controlled by us!"

Mr. Dong shook his head and said: "You can't control it anymore! I asked you for money several times, and asked you to invest. Did you say no? Everyone has actually seen this, but your self-confidence discouraged everyone. No one dares to tell you! Because we are not sure whether you are right or wrong! But, if you continue like this, you must be wrong! You can invest again, but you have to control the risk, you have to Evaluate, if it goes on like this, is it worth it?"

I looked at Yaoyang, and then remembered that he did have opinions on Haqi recently. At that time, I didn’t take it seriously, and even said a few words to him. Zijun also reminded me, but he still insisted on going his own way. I thought about it After a while, he raised his head slowly, frowned and asked, "There shouldn't be any problem, right? I have 20% of the shares in Haqi, and it's worth [-] million yuan, isn't it worth it?"

Seeing my introspection, Mr. Dong analyzed patiently: "You forgot that you brought Offutt technology to them? Now there is a technical problem. If they pursue responsibility, you will bear the brunt!"

I was surprised and said: "Ah? How is it possible? What's wrong with me? How can I be traced? Offut's technology was handed over to them directly. Besides, after the accident, Ren Xiaoqi didn't blame me? He I also know that I am not to blame for this, it is their own mistakes!"

Mr. Dong shook his head and said: "I don't blame you now, but I have been asking you for money! The money is in place, of course I don't blame you. Once your investment stops, then problems may come! Their company If you sue Offert Company, you may sue us together, have you thought about the consequences!"

After I heard it, I broke out in a cold sweat and said uncertainly: "No way? The black and white contract, technology transition, exchange for shares, and other things have nothing to do with me! Ren Xiaoqi doesn't have the guts either!"

Yaoyang snorted coldly: "You think he's quite honest, but I don't think so! Every time you ask him to take money from me, he takes a penny more, not a penny less! Usually he is humble He looks polite and gentle, but who knows what kind of person he is in his bones? How long have you known him? Didn't you say that there are only eternal interests in business, but no eternal friends!"

I lowered my head and began to recall the details of how I knew Ren Xiaoqi, and my intuition told me that he is definitely not that kind of person!But Yaoyang and President Dong's prudence is also justified, I have never trusted a person so much, and it seems to be a person I don't know very well!

But he still insisted and said: "Although I have always been inaccurate in my opinion, it is not as scary as you say, right? Then his acting skills are too good, right?"

Dong Zong sighed and said: "Know people, know face, but not heart! Did you suffer such a loss back then?"

I said to myself: "Haqi sued Offert Company, if they win the case, they can get a large amount of compensation, and they can save the reputation without paying the remaining technology transfer fees. I have them in my hand to get Offert If the company's evidence is not shown, they have no chance of winning, but our investment will be in vain! If we show it, we win the case, and we can get back the investment of Harbin Auto immediately, which will reduce the loss!"

Mr. Dong hummed and said: "Yes! Before giving them the evidence, let them sign a document. After winning the case, we will share the amount, and the rest will be used as investment! Now is the only chance to catch them. , otherwise after we win the lawsuit, we won’t get a penny, and we have to continue to fill it in. At the same time, when we see benefits later, we may not be able to get the part we deserve! Think about it, now the hardware equipment is in their Hands, software technology is in their hands, what do we have? From a rational point of view, if I have technology and money, what money should I share with you? I will kick you out sooner or later, and I will make more money. OK!"

I am powerless to refute, I know what Mr. Dong said is right, the only thing I think is wrong is that they misunderstood Ren Xiaoqi, he is not such an ungrateful businessman.

But I still underestimated Ren Xiaoqi and overestimated my ability to know people.

Ren Xiaoqi asked for money three times, but he didn't give it to him. From the beginning that I didn't trust his project, now he wants to talk to me about the contract.

Up to this moment, I still feel that he is just discussing the facts and treating me with a working attitude.

But when I was called to the headquarters for a meeting by him, I realized that I was wrong, big mistake!

Harbin meeting room.

Ren Xiaoqi was sitting in the center, but next to him was the rare Ren Guohua, and on the right was Qiao Lina from the investment company, a beautiful woman who was in possession of an incomparably rich wealth.

I frowned, knowing that I wanted to be the prime minister of the Six Kingdoms. After watching for a long time, I sat directly opposite Ren Xiaoqi.

Ren Xiaoqi calmed down the atmosphere, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, it's hard work for you to catch the late flight!"

The polite words made me feel cold. Friends don’t speak politely like this, so I just smiled and said, “I can’t help it. Mr. Ren said hello, I have to come here! Isn’t this justified?”

Ren Guohua hit me in with a sullen face, and said without a smile at this moment: "Mr. Chen, then I won't talk nonsense. Xiao Qi has asked for money three times. I just received the news today that your 6000 million I have called the Aba State Project Department of Lvshuiyuan, so when do you plan to pay our investment money?"

I frowned, and asked back: "How do you know that I paid 6000 million to Lushuiyuan? I don't even know. Also, is there a rule when we will pay it?"

Ren Guohua also turned his face and said: "The contract clearly stipulates that after the second node of the new energy vehicle is completed, it has been almost a month now!"

I groaned and said, "Really? I haven't even seen the shadow of a new car on the market now. You told me that the second node is over?"

Ren Guohua shook his head and said, "That's because you didn't see it, not because it wasn't produced! You can go and see it now!"

I know, I missed a move, they came prepared, without telling me, the new model has come out, faster than I imagined.

I avoided this topic, and went straight to the point: "Now you want to break up with me and ask me for money, right?"

Ren Guohua softened his tone and said: "It's not that I want to tear my face, but I am very puzzled. Why did you give 6000 million of your money to Lushuiyuan, but Xiao Qi's 3000 million has not been credited to the account for a long time! You Are you not optimistic about this project? Or do you think Lushuiyuan can’t be offended, we can!”

I looked at Ren Guohua again, he had no fear in his eyes, and looked at me, I smiled and said: "I dare not offend anyone!"

Then he looked at Ren Xiaoqi and said, "We can discuss things. Are you calling people together today to have a showdown with me, or are you planning to force a confession and let me pay for it? If I don't pay, are you planning not to?" Let me go?"

Ren Xiaoqi said submissively: "Mr. Chen, don't get me wrong, I really need money, and you have been dragging me around like this, and there is really nothing I can do! Just let them pass!"

I looked at Jolina again and asked, "Which are you singing today? Is the purpose of being like their father and son? Or are you going to watch a play?"

Qiao Lina smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, I was the witness of the cooperation between you two at the beginning, and I'm also the investor of both of you! There are some obstacles to the project now, so it's not too much for me to come and have a look?"

I snorted coldly and said: "It's not an exaggeration, it should be! It's just that I didn't expect the matter to be so big. Fortunately, I was prepared to be accurate, otherwise I would have been intimidated by you! With such a big battle, Xiao Qi Ah, you should also tell me in advance, I have high blood pressure, how bad it is to scare me!"

Ren Xiaoqi lowered his head, not daring to speak.

Ren Guohua didn't want to let me go and said, "Mr. Chen, let's get down to business. Don't talk about him! When will the money arrive?"

I stared at him and replied, "What if I'm not in place? What are you going to do?"

Ren Guohua said without fear: "That's very simple, we terminate the contract, you will be kicked out of the board of directors, and your shares will also be offset as the amount of our investment!"

I sighed and said, "It's mandatory, isn't it? Is it really necessary to do that?"
