Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1847 Talk about conditions

I yelled, shook hands with him and said, "Then you came to see me specially?"

Tony nodded and said, "Yes, I just came to talk to you about business!"

I looked at the people in the room and said, "Just look for me. Why are you making such a big move?"

Tony smiled and said, "I'll bring you some more business, wouldn't you?"

I shook my head and said, "I don't need to. I generally don't like doing business with you foreigners!"

Tony asked in confusion: "Why?"

I explained: "Because you have been accustomed to power for so many years, you always have an inexplicable sense of superiority when doing business with you! We haven't raised any conditions here, but you have already given us a bunch of rules! Look at it! What are the prerequisites for the negotiation table now? If we have an unconditional negotiation, it seems like we will be embarrassed! I don’t want to be humble and do business with you, and you won’t make any money. If you let me help you cheat your own country As for money, I won’t be so shameless. I don’t have my own bottom line for money. Besides, I’m not short of money, so I welcome you to come and have fun as you like. As for business, there’s no need to talk about it!”

This time it was Tony's turn to be puzzled: "But we haven't talked about it yet? How did you know that I was going to take advantage of you? We can also make money from foreigners together!"

I groaned and said, "In my eyes, you are a foreigner!"

Tony laughed and said, "Don't you think my Chinese is very authentic?"

I shook my head and said: "You can't even distinguish a few tones. You told me that your Chinese is authentic. Don't think that just because you have been in China for a few years and can speak in Chinese, you can say that you know Chinese. Chinese is profound and profound. Do you know what profoundness is?"

Tony smiled and said: "I have indeed learned very few four-character idioms! I have only learned Chinese for less than a year. It seems that my Chinese teacher is not good! Why don't you be my teacher?"

I sighed and said, "The students I teach are very expensive! You can ask around, the students I teach are now worth over [-] million each!"

Tony groaned and said: "I understand what you mean, I just ask you to teach me Chinese! Can you make an offer?"

I rolled my eyes at him and said, "I told you, I'm not short of money, but you may not be as rich as I am! I don't want to accept you as my apprentice! If you like Chinese, you don't need to find a teacher, just talk to the street every day." The old man who plays chess next to you and the aunt who dances square dance can just learn more, I guarantee that you will be able to speak very authentically in less than a month!"

Tony smiled again and said, "Okay, I listen to you, let's talk business now!?"

I sighed and said, "Why are you still so evil? Okay, go to my office!"

After saying that, he led him and called Lu Ping to the hotel lobby, where he asked the lobby manager for a conference room.

I asked curiously: "You are not really alone, are you? Your assistant, general manager, and other supervisors and finance people are not here. Or did you not call them? Do you want me to find someone to call them? are you coming?"

Tony waved his hand and said, "No need, I can do it alone!"

He was confident, but soon he wasn't.

He got straight to the point: "Our ADSL company plans to release its own technology and enter the Chinese market!"

I yelled, "I heard it!"

Tony was a little surprised and said: "Have you heard? How could you have heard that our decision was approved by the board of directors!"

I smiled and said, "Haven't you already approached Chinese companies to discuss cooperation?"

Tony snorted and said with some admiration: "Mr. Chen, you are very well-informed!"

I shrugged and said, "This is China after all, and there aren't many business secrets! You don't understand Chinese people's interpersonal relationships, they are very complicated!"

Tony nodded and said: "I understand, but the company they are looking for is a cooperation. I am looking for you because I want you to be our company's agent in China!"

I was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "You want me to be your agent? Are you the agent for your company's products? Your company doesn't have any substantial products yet?"

Tony was also surprised and said: "Do you know our company very well? Our company is not a big company!"

I said lightly: "I just heard a little bit about it!"

Tony groaned and said, "I understand. The cooperative company we are looking for must be someone you know. It seems that they were right to recommend you Shenguang Tongda!"

I rolled my eyes at him and corrected him: "That's called magical power! Who recommended you?"

Tony waved his hand and said: "Of course we can't talk about this! Then are you interested in being our agent?"

I refused very decisively: "No!"

Tony was puzzled: "You didn't even listen to my conditions and just refused?"

I hummed and said, "Yes, because I'm not interested!"

Tony frowned and said, "You should listen to the conditions I offer first!"

I yelled, "Say it, I'm listening!"

Tony thought for a while and said: "As the general agent of our company's China Difference, you can exercise all company management and administrative rights. At the same time, you are also the CEO of our company in China, and you can deploy all the company's resources at will!"

I was dissatisfied: "What use are these to me? I don't need it! In China, my resources are enough! I have no plans to immigrate, or even go abroad! Let me be practical, give it to me How much does it cost per year? How is it divided?"

Tony said hurriedly: "With a basic salary of 10 US dollars, all sales and administrative expenses in China can be fully reimbursed. If we can agent our technology, we will give you a 3-point share...and..."

I interrupted him disdainfully and said: "With your conditions, you should find those MBA masters who have studied abroad. Why are you looking for me? You have to know that I am on the same level as you now. I am also the boss of several companies. Boss, why should I work for you? Just because you are a foreign company? What you offer is not a condition, but a basic salary requirement for workers! Right, Mr. Qiao? I think you are mistaken. , you found the wrong person, let’s end our conversation here, I hope you have fun in China!”

Tony didn't seem to understand. He made such a condition, but I didn't even finish listening to him, so I decisively rejected him.He said with some disappointment: "This condition is already very good for a Chinese!"

I sighed and said: "It's like you found a traitor in our country during the war of aggression against China, and not only made this traitor a bigger official, but he was also the biggest official among the traitors. This is already heaven for us. A great favor? Is that what you mean?"

Tony hesitated for a moment, but didn't deny it. I don't know if he didn't understand, or he thought my metaphor was very appropriate!
I no longer wanted to say another word to him, so I said with a straight face, "Then I won't give it away!"

Tony still sat still, and I said impatiently: "In Chinese, this means you can leave!"

Tony said angrily: "Mr. Chen, I come to you with the utmost sincerity!"

I snorted and said: "I don't even know, where do you get your sense of superiority? You are looking for me just to provide me with a job. Your sincerity means that you can give me the highest treatment for anyone outside your company." , I may not even be as good as a technician in your company, just because you are Dutch and I am Chinese! If you want to find someone to work for you, just go to the Internet of Things to find one! You are not sincere! You should study harder If you know a little bit about Chinese, don’t show off to me! Your English is not as good as mine!”

Tony then left angrily.

After Tony left, Lu Ping said to me: "This foreigner doesn't know anything about Chinese people, nor how to deal with Chinese people. Why did their company let him come?"

I shrugged and said, "I don't know about that! Maybe people in technology companies are like this and don't understand sales!"

Lu Ping shook his head and said: "No, no matter how stupid the company is, they should know that the conditions he offered are simply insulting you! I also know that you will definitely not agree, so why did you send him here? We talked with Hua Xin The conditions are not like this, so why do we offer you such low conditions? Don’t they know that you are Hua Hin’s master? If they come to you directly without doing any investigation, I don’t believe it! But if I’ve done some research and come to negotiate with you like this, isn’t this just to insult you?”

This made me have to think about it, what is this Tony here for?

The business group walked around the ancient town and finally chose our hotel. It was not chosen by them, but booked by the town leaders.

When I walked out of the lobby, I happened to see Tony going through the formalities. He glanced at me and then said a few words to another foreigner next to me. The foreigner looked at me and nodded slightly.The foreigner found another Chinese, a woman, wearing high-end clothes, a bit coquettish.

The woman looked at me along the foreigner's finger, and then said a few words.

The woman walked over to me and asked generously: "Are you Mr. Chen?"

I smelled the strong scent of perfume on her body, and couldn't help but take a step back, and said a little embarrassedly: "Sorry, I have allergic rhinitis!"

The woman didn't understand what I meant, so she moved closer and asked again: "Are you Mr. Chen?"

I couldn't help but back away, it would be rude, so I nodded and said, "I am!"

The strong scent of perfume rushed into my nose again. I couldn't help it and sneezed several times in succession. The woman was so frightened that she quickly backed away and thoughtfully handed me a tissue to see that I stopped sneezing. , then said: "I wonder if you have time tonight, I would like to treat you to a meal?"

I shook my head hurriedly and said: "I don't have time. Even if I have time, I won't go if you invite me like this! We don't even know each other, and you want to invite me to dinner. This is not good!"

The woman introduced herself directly: "Ah, I forgot to mention, my name is Jenny, and your name is Chen Fei. Now that we know each other, can we have dinner together tonight?"

I looked at her in disbelief and said, "Why are all the tiger things from foreign countries lumped together today? Let me say it again, I don't have time, bye!"

I turned around and left. Lu Ping followed me and shouted, "Slow down! I'm wearing high heels!"

I walked out of the gate without daring to look behind. Lu Ping smiled and said, "Don't worry, I didn't chase you out!"

I curled my lips and said: "A bunch of fools! Is there something wrong with their heads!?"

Lu Ping hummed and said, "It's a little strange. The way these people do things is indeed different from normal people. We have also come into contact with many foreigners, but nothing like them!"

I thought this matter would just go away, but who knew that at night, in order to avoid them, I went to the property management company. Since I renovated this place last time, it is much better now. It is very comfortable inside. The only pity is that it turns out that The bed in the manager's office was taken away, otherwise I could still sleep here.

They couldn't find the person, but they called. If it were an ordinary person's call, I wouldn't bother to answer it, but the biggest leader in the town called, and I had to answer it. After picking up, the leader was a little unhappy and said: "Dinner is just for dinner." It’s set up in your hotel, and you, the master, don’t come, how can it be so ridiculous?”

I complained: "If everyone who comes to my hotel for dinner has to be accompanied by me, I don't have to do anything else!"

The leader criticized: "Why do I think you are so emotional? Aren't you just spending time with your foreign friends? They are not descendants of the Eight-Power Allied Forces, they are just a business group. Why are you so resistant to them? Come back quickly Ah, people are looking for you by name!"

I said dissatisfied: "Are they crazy? Why are they targeting me? I don't have any advantage for them, and I am not fair-skinned, beautiful and long-legged. How about I ask Lu Ping to go on my behalf?" , she is beautiful, can speak well, and speaks excellent English!"

Lu Ping rolled her eyes at me and said, "What are you talking about? You want me to go drink with you? Who do you think I am?"

I apologized hastily: "I didn't mean that! Just go and help me!"

The leader said: "Both of you have to come over. I'm warning you, don't let me resort to tricks!"

I yelled: "What method are you going to use?"

The leader said loudly: "I... I will ask you to suspend business for a month for rectification! Stop talking nonsense and come here quickly!"

I knew he had no choice but to say that. He didn’t really mean to embarrass me, and I wasn’t angry either. I smiled and said, "Stop. If you stop, I won’t be looking for you. The whole town will I have to go find you!"

The leader cried out in pain: "Little ancestor, I beg you, please come here quickly. I don't know what's going on. These foreigners are just targeting you. Just think of it as a favor to me. I owe you." It’s just a favor, and I’ll return the favor to you when the time comes, so that’s not going to work, right?”

I smiled and said: "That's what we agreed!"

The leader immediately said: "That must be under the premise that it does not violate the principle. I will do whatever I am not allowed to do!"

I hummed and said, "Okay, I won't let you do anything evil! I'll go back right away!"
