The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me

Chapter 308: Cost Issues
"You two, if you are willing, how about we renew our relationship and continue our cooperation?"

Seeing that Charlie and the other man's expressions were changing, Yang Xia simply tried to give some suggestions.

Charlie and Hader looked at each other, their faces blushing unconcealably.

They were happy in their hearts, but perhaps only for a few seconds, and then their faces turned gloomy.

"Why, you don't want to?"

This caught Yang Xia off guard. He didn't understand why the two were still unwilling even though things had developed to this point?

Is it possible that such high-quality and low-priced weapons cannot impress them now?

"Well...we would like to, but..."

Charlie looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated, and the wrinkles on his brows grew even bigger.

Seeing that he couldn't continue, Yang Xia became more curious and vaguely guessed something.

As expected, Charlie cautiously pointed out that they had interrupted their cooperation with Yang Xia because they were coerced by Israel. Who doesn't know who Israel is?

If Israel knew that they were cooperating with Wu Gou Shuang Xue again, wouldn't he skin them alive?

"So, in my opinion, let's just forget it!"

After saying that, Charlie stood up and prepared to leave. Perhaps Hader felt the same way, so he also prepared to leave.

"Wait, you two!"

Just as the two were about to go out, Yang Xia stopped them.

It can be said that Yang Xia has a quick mind. At this moment, he suddenly came up with a good idea.

He motioned for the two to sit down and said that he had an idea but he didn't know if it would work.

"Oh?"

Charlie seemed to see the light and motioned for him to give it a try.

Yang Xia suggested that since Israel was threatening them, they might as well buy weapons from both Israel and Wu Gou Shuang Xue at the same time to fool Israel.

When the time is right one day, they can gradually abandon Israel's products and switch to Wu Gou Shuang Xue's.

"This..." Hader was undecided and turned to look at Charlie, "What do you think?"

Charlie was much more straightforward than Hader. He felt that this seemed to be a feasible solution, so he immediately said that he could give it a try.

However, although Charlie agreed, his expression remained unchanged.

It can be seen that he is still worried about Israel in his heart.

"Hey, brother, look at you." Yang Xia patted Charlie's shoulder, "Why, you still can't let go of Israel?"

"Look at what you said. You are not in my position, how can you understand my difficulties?"

Charlie sighed and expressed his concerns again.

He said that although this idea was feasible, he was afraid that the news would leak out. If some villain secretly told Israel, the consequences would be equally serious.

Villain?

Yang Xia glanced around and pointed at everyone in the room. He said that everyone was his own, so who would bother telling Israel?

However, he understood the concerns of Charlie and others, and in order to reassure them, he decided to give them another insurance measure.

"Since you are worried, why not do this!"

Yang Xia then ordered his assistant to prepare a document, which was basically a confidentiality agreement between both parties.

In order to reassure Charlie and the others, Yang Xia was ruthless and actually wrote in the confidentiality agreement that if anyone of the two parties betrayed everyone, everyone could sacrifice their own relatives for the sake of justice.

"Come, I'll give you a guarantee right now." Yang Xia was the first to press his fingerprint, and then passed it on to others, "Everyone press it, I've made this deal!"

Everyone passed it around, and Charlie and the others forced a smile after seeing so many red handprints.

After the mission was accomplished, Yang Xia and others saw Charlie and his friends off.

"Xiao Zhang, go prepare the wine and food!"

"Prepare food and wine? What for?"

Manager Zhang scratched his head and asked Yang Xia in confusion. Yang Xia patted his head and said with a smile: "What are you talking about? We have brought back the customer, we have to celebrate!"

"Besides, we also need to talk about our next plan!"

Military factory canteen.

Everyone was chattering and the food and drinks were slowly coming up.

"Come on, I'll bring you a drink to celebrate this victory!"

It seemed that Yang Xia was really happy. He stood up and drank the glass of wine in one gulp.

Everyone was really happy and drank together. After three rounds of drinks, everyone was having a great time and slowly started talking about another topic, which was the next step of the whole plan.

Obviously, they understood that bringing back Charlie and others was equivalent to only getting the order, but there were still many problems in the next step.

"Everyone, the next problem we face is secondary. There is only one problem that gives me a headache."

Yang Xia pointed out that one of the key points they used in their competition with Israel this time was that Israel's weapons were expensive. In other words, if they wanted to defeat Israel, they had to produce products that were superior to Israel's in performance but at a very low price.

Obviously, this is somewhat difficult for Wu Gou Shuangxue.

"In other words, whether we can make money in the future basically depends on whether we can control costs, right?"

"Correct!"

Yang Xia affirmed what Xu Lei said. In fact, it was the fact.

Everyone continued to drink, but the lively atmosphere at the beginning was gone, replaced by calm thinking.

They analyzed the matter in their minds, put forward their own opinions, and gradually they came up with some ideas.

In the following time, Yang Xia did not go to work, but stayed alone in the room thinking.

He knew very well that if the cost problem was solved, he would be able to make a lot of money from the arms market in Xiyazhou in the future.

So how do we reduce the cost?

He did not sleep that night, analyzing and thinking over and over again, and finally came up with a plan.

"Mr. Yang—"

"Old Yang—"

In the laboratory, Director He, Xu Lei and others pushed the door open, looked at the room full of weapons, and asked Yang Xia why he called them here.

On the table, Yang Xia had already disassembled several weapons, and the table was filled with spare parts.

"I asked you to come here because I have some preliminary ideas on how to reduce costs."

Yang Xia explained to everyone that their first step was to dismantle all the weapons, find out the suppliers of each component, and see if they could start from there.

Parts? Suppliers?
Director He was stunned for a moment, then he understood.

"You mean, contact these suppliers and bring down the price of parts?"

"Yes, that's what it means!"

Everyone reacted and pondered for a while. They had to admit that this was a feasible method, although it was not a brilliant plan. In any case, it was better to give it a try than to have no solution at all.

After understanding what he meant, everyone got busy.

In the next one or two days, they were in the laboratory almost day and night. Everyone was busy, and finally spent so much time to completely dismantle Israel's main weapon.

By this time, the already small laboratory was barely moveable, as weapon parts were placed everywhere.

Of course, this step of the work is just the beginning.

Yang Xia continued to lead everyone to record the contact information of the suppliers on the parts one by one and made a small notebook.

After doing all this, the plan reached a more critical step.

"Come on, let's act together." Yang Xia handed everyone a small notebook, "Let's contact these manufacturers together, and I'll contact the largest one!"

After a while, everyone got busy.

Although there are hundreds of these weapon parts, fortunately, there are only a dozen real manufacturers.

While others were contacting the manufacturer, Yang Xia pressed the manufacturer's phone number.

"Hello, who are you?"

"Oh, hello, are you from Yingli Wu Weapons Company? I'm from a weapons company called Wu Gou Shuangxue."

Yang Xia continued chatting with the other party, his tone and attitude extremely polite.

But the annoying thing was that they only talked for two minutes, and before Yang Xia could tell her purpose, the other party seemed to have no interest and hung up the phone directly.

"Oh shit!"

As a boss, Yang Xia had never been so humble to others, but he didn't expect to be treated like this for the first time. At this moment, he suddenly understood how difficult it had always been for so many sales people in the company, such as Xiao Jin, the marketing manager.

Doodle.

Unwilling to give up, Yang Xia called again. As soon as the call was connected, the other party yelled, "Are you annoying? I already said I'm not interested!"

"Listen to me, sir." Yang Xia tried harder, trying to hit the nail on the head. "We have an opportunity to make a lot of money, and one company can't handle it, so we want to invite you to join us in grabbing this piece of cake!"

Make a lot of money?
Perhaps because he was very direct this time, the other party suddenly became interested.

He asked Yang Xia what the specific project was, and Yang Xia immediately gave him a brief account.

This time the two sides finally talked for a few minutes, and the other party was obviously very interested. They finally agreed to come to Wu Gou Shuangxue to discuss these things together.

After dealing with this company, Yang Xia turned to look at the others, who were still on the phone.

Yang Xia then picked up a component and studied it to kill time.

Finally, after an hour or so, he saw that everyone was gradually hanging up their phones, so he leaned over to ask what the result was.

"Oh, this makes me tired." Xu Lei wiped the sweat off his face. "But although the process was tortuous, the result is still good."

Xiao Jin and others also reported their results, and Yang Xia gradually felt relieved because although everyone had tried their best to persuade them, they finally invited most of the companies.

Two days later.

At the entrance of Wu Gou Shuangxue Conference Center, Yang Xia personally welcomed guests from all over the world.

The dozen or so companies they contacted arrived as scheduled, and everyone took their seats in the conference hall after more than ten minutes.

"Everyone, first of all, thank you for accepting our invitation. Our company will make your trip worthwhile!"

After a brief opening speech, everyone got down to business.

As a shrewd man, when Yang Xia introduced this business, why did he say it was related to Israel? He was familiar with the international situation and knew that many of the company leaders present had inextricable ties with Israel.

To put it bluntly, these people are more or less afraid of Israel.

In this case, if he told the truth, I'm afraid these companies would refuse to cooperate.

"Boss Yang, you said there is an opportunity to make a lot of money. What kind of opportunity is it? Can you explain it more clearly?"

The meeting had only been going on for a few dozen minutes when the head of one of the companies asked this question.

Wow, the first fish is caught!
In fact, Yang Xia and others had asked this question for a long time, and he immediately gave an explanation.

In order to successfully win over everyone, he told a lie.

He pointed out that their company had had contact with Israeli arms companies and that there was some cooperation between the two sides.

The reason he said this was simply to win everyone's favor.

After all, these companies have cooperated with Israel. If Wu Gou Shuangxue also has a little friendly cooperation with Israel, the distance between them will be even closer.

"We found that the Israeli weapons are really powerful." Yang Xia changed the subject, "But at the same time, we also discovered a feature of their weapons."

When Yang Xia said the word "but", he found that everyone pricked up their ears.

He was a little proud, and immediately continued to analyze, pointing out that Israel's weapons were good, but the disadvantage was that they were too expensive. Because of the high price, it was impossible to expand the market.

"Yes, that's right!"

“We have been concerned about this issue for many years!”

……

Everyone started talking to each other after hearing this, and Yang Xia immediately got to the point: "So I think that if we work together to reduce the cost and price, then the market prospects of these weapons will be obvious. That's why we invited you to hold such a meeting!"

In order to convince everyone, Yang Xia was naturally well prepared.

He signaled his assistant to distribute booklets to everyone. The contents of these booklets were all actual data collected by Yang Xia about this idea, such as the market for a certain type of weapon in Israel and the market for other similar low-priced weapons.

With information like this, everyone can easily see the difference after comparing it.

After reading the booklet, these people were all shocked. They gathered together to discuss it. Faced with the ironclad data, they had no choice but to believe it.

Gradually, the expressions on their faces changed from a little doubt to excitement.

Even from the expressions of some people, they may have started to fantasize that if they do what Yang Xia said, they will make a fortune in the future.

After reading the pamphlet, everyone continued with the meeting.

Yang Xia was not in a hurry for everyone to express their opinions. After all, he knew that impatient people would not be able to eat hot tofu.

Therefore, when the meeting was adjourned, he simply suggested that everyone go back and discuss with the boss, and if they had the intention of cooperating, they must not miss the opportunity.

Within the same week.

Inside the Israeli military headquarters, Suopei was looking at the document in his hand with his brows furrowed into a knot.

The contents of the document were obtained by his subordinates through investigation. It was roughly that Israel's military factories had encountered some problems in recent times, such as the negative performance of parts suppliers.

"Very negative?" Suo Peili put down the folder. "How negative? I saw you wrote in the document that some suppliers temporarily stopped supplying parts, right?"

His subordinates hurriedly explained that some suppliers had suspended the supply of parts and it was just a minor incident.

The most troublesome thing is that many partners actually asked Israeli military factories to significantly increase the prices of spare parts, which they had never asked for before.

Suo Peili continued to pick up the documents and read them. As he read on, he gradually felt uneasy.

Israel is different from many other countries and weapons companies. All of its weapons companies are privatized, but actual control is in the hands of the state.

Therefore, it is obvious that if that group of partners were bewitched by someone and worked together to oppose Israel, the consequences would be disastrous.
