Chapter 574 Here Comes Rahal (Seek Tickets)

It took a week for Rahal to temporarily suspend the negotiation with Dachanghang in Shanghai. It seems that the first round of negotiations had great differences between the two parties, otherwise Rahal would not have accepted Shi Xitong's invitation. The capital is here as a guest.

This is very good news for Shi Lei. The greater the disagreement between the two parties, the happier he will be. It is best for the two sides to break up the talks directly, and Rahal should take the initiative to find a new agency.

But Shi Lei knew that this could only be an extravagant hope. The magic capital DCH is also an old-fashioned agency company, especially in the domestic auto agency industry, and it is the leader. How could it make such a low-level mistake.Even if the conditions of the two parties are not agreed upon, there is bound to be room for negotiation.

Rahal has not been in a good mood these two days. As the negotiator of Tata Motors this time, he thought it would be an easy trip.

Isn't it the agent of China? DCH has represented so many big brands of cars, and has perfect channels and experience. The two parties don't even need to entangle in details. They just need to talk about the main conditions, such as the ratio of agency fees. Responsibilities of both parties, etc.

But when I came to China, I realized that the people here are not so easy to deal with.First of all, the other party actually likes to negotiate at the dinner table. Several times they negotiated, they deliberately delayed the time, and then dragged it down on the dinner table, drink first, and start negotiating with you when you are slightly drunk.

Rahal believes that DCH's approach is clearly to take advantage of their unconsciousness to finalize some contract terms, or even sign the contract directly, which is a violation of basic integrity.

So after several times he hinted not to do this, the other party still did not change it, and the ratio of agency fees between the two parties was too large. In a rage, Rahal suspended the negotiation. When the other party figured it out, he would naturally contact him.

Unexpectedly, he had just rested for a day when he received a call from Shi Xitong, a representative of another shareholder company of Tata Motors. He and Shi Xitong could only be said to have met, not friends.But in China, he also has no friends. Shi Xitong invited him to come over as a guest. For him who was bored, it was like sending charcoal in the snow.

When he comes to the capital, he can not only relax a little, but also use it to put pressure on the magic capital DCH, showing that he is not in a hurry to find an agency company. If DCH doesn't do it, I will contact other companies.

Sure enough, when he just arrived at the Shanghai Airport, he received a call from Wu Tianlin, the vice president of DCH, asking them to go back and continue the discussion, but he flatly refused.

You can talk if you want, what do you think of me as Tata Motors?So he not only took away a few of his entourage, but also strictly ordered the other staff who stayed in Shanghai, that when he was not in Shanghai, no one was allowed to contact people from Shanghai Dachanghang, and those who violated it would be expelled!
In India, the concept of class hierarchy is very serious, even surpassing the island countries and South Korea. Basically, they never dare to refute what the leaders decide. If the leaders say they want to fire you, then you must be wrong.

Let’s just say that the Tata Group laid off tens of thousands of employees within a year, but they didn’t gather crowds to make trouble. Everyone seems to accept it. Even after being laid off, they have no job and no income, and they take it for granted. .

In this regard, Shi Lei admired the Tata Group very much. In which country's company's large-scale layoffs would not cause dissatisfaction among employees?Including large companies such as Toyota in the island country, the layoffs also caused many people to parade.Of course, according to them, all they laid off were temporary workers.

Knowing that Lahal is coming over today, Shi Lei followed Shi Xi to the airport to meet him.This is not a greeting between customers, but a courtesy among friends.

When the flight arrived, some people dressed in Indian style slowly walked towards the exit. One of them was in his 40s, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and combing his hair meticulously.Shi Lei judged that this person was Lahal, of course, there was the most important basis, that is, other people had something in their hands, but he was the only one with empty hands.

"Dear Rahal, long time no see." Shi Xitong clasped his hands together, bowed slightly, and greeted each other in English.

"Where is the heap. Shi, long time no see."

After Rahal also bowed and saluted, according to Chinese etiquette, he shook hands with Shi Xitong again.To Shi Lei's surprise, when Rahal said that he hadn't seen him for a long time, he used Chinese. Does he understand Chinese?

Shi Xitong was also taken aback for a moment. In fact, he didn't know that Rahal knew Chinese. He remembered that the last time we met was a few years ago. And Rahal doesn't seem to understand Chinese either.

"Rahal, have you learned Chinese?" Shi Xitong asked in perfect Chinese.

"I have hired a Chinese teacher since last year, and I have learned a little bit." Rahal said slowly, and it was only then that he realized that his Chinese was not very fluent, and many pronunciations were not accurate.

"Rahal, this is my son, his full name is Shi Lei, and he works in Wufang Group." Shi Xitong introduced.

Shi Lei clasped his hands together, bowed and saluted: "Where is the heap."

"Hahaha, hello, that's how you say it." Rahal laughed heartily. In a foreign country, it is very beneficial for him to have someone greet him in his native dialect.

"Rahal, let's stop chatting here, get in the car, let's chat while eating, isn't the food on the plane delicious?" Shi Xitong said with a smile.

Rahal made an expression that you understand me: "It's really not delicious, the taste is too bland."

"Rahal, I know you like spicy food, I ordered a very spicy restaurant, but I don't know if you can accept it." Shi Xitong said intentionally.

"No problem, I like spicy food." Rahal felt bad in his mouth these days, but he was so uncomfortable that he urgently needed a spicy taste to stimulate his taste buds.

Rahal didn't bring his wife with him on this trip, so Shi Xitong and Shi Lei didn't bring his wife with him either.If Rahal brought his wife, then Ruan Zhirou and Fang Xuan had to show up, this was their basic social etiquette.

Shi Lei is very fortunate that Rahal doesn't have the habit of many domestic corporate executives, and when he goes abroad for business, he also takes the opportunity to take his wife and children to play.Fang Xuan has a big belly now, he doesn't want her to participate in this kind of occasion, not to mention the number of people, it's still tiring.

When they came to the parking lot, Rahal's eyes lit up when he saw that the car that came to pick them up turned out to be a Land Rover.This Shi Xitong has a heart, but if he follows his heart like this, I'm afraid it's not just a reminiscence?
Shi Lei personally acted as the driver, driving for Lahal and Shi Xitong, which made Lahal even more satisfied.Shi Xitong actually asked his son to drive for us. This is too much etiquette.

Shi Xitong and Rahal were talking in English at the back, and Shi Lei only listened to half-claws. There is no way, although he has worked hard to learn English, but the time is too short. Ask the teacher to come here.

After driving until the Hunan restaurant he had booked, Shi Lei got out of the car and opened the door.

Shi Lei has already made arrangements here, when he saw the Land Rover parked at the door, someone came out to greet them and led them into the box.

This is a very large box, covering dozens of square meters, with a large round table in the middle, which can seat more than a dozen people, more than enough to entertain Rahal's group.

When ordering, Shi Lei also paid special attention, there must be no beef, cows are sacred in India, even the cars on the road have to give way to cows, if there is a piece of beef on the table, then the day is completely finished.

Fortunately, although Rahal believes in Buddhism, Buddhism in India is vegetarian on fasting days every month, and eats meat at other times. Otherwise, Shi Lei really doesn't know how to order. Could it be a table of chili?
The drink I choose is whiskey, which is more suitable for the taste of Indians, and it is sold unconventional in India, which is equivalent to the impression of XO in the hearts of Chinese people.

Shi Lei's left hand was always under the table and he didn't lift it up.In India, the right hand represents cleanliness and the left represents dirtyness.For example, they eat with their right hand and wipe their butt with their left hand.

The waiters who came to help pour the wine were told to hold the wine bottle with one hand behind the left hand and pour the wine with one hand. When serving food, they can only use the right hand, and the left hand must not be used.

Of course, with such a strict requirement, Shi Lei also promised to give each waiter a big tip, and those waiters would of course abide by it, not out of respect for other people's etiquette, but purely for tips.

When toasting, Shi Lei only raised his glass with his right hand, which made Rahal feel more comfortable.He also has some knowledge of Chinese culture, and knows that in China, only hands show respect when toasting, this is Shi Lei deliberately avoiding using his left hand.

Courtesy to people, there must be something to ask for!
If Shi Xitong is just an ordinary entertainer, just like chatting with old friends, Rahal only needs to entertain Shi Xitong once when Shi Xitong goes to India.

But Shi Xitong called his son and respected their Indian etiquette everywhere, which made him a little confused. Does Taishi International have any thoughts on Tata Motors?
"Little Shi, just now you heard from your father, what do you do?" Rahal finally asked what Shi Lei had been waiting for for almost an hour.

"I work as a manager at Wufang Group, which is an agent company. Currently, it is the number one among Chinese peers, and it will be number one in the future." Shi Lei said quickly.

There was a smile on the corner of Rahal's mouth, it turned out that he was waiting for him here.

"So Wufang Group should also have the business of agency vehicle sales?"

"Of course, we not only have business in this area, but also do a good job."

"Compared to Dachang, the capital city?" Rahal continued to ask.

Shi Lei smiled: "For the time being, DCH is ahead of us in this respect. However, our company's next focus will be on vehicle agency. We will invest a huge amount of money, establish channels, and ensure that the products that customers give us , can be sold to every corner of China.”

Hearing Shi Lei frankly admitted that he was not as good as Dachanghang, this made Rahal even more fond of Shi Lei: "I see, I want to talk to you tonight."
