Chapter 99
Negotiation is a time-consuming and laborious task, especially when two large companies have to sign a contract, every word and every word I said before will be snatched out.
If you meet a negotiator who is not rigorous enough, the conversation may be more difficult and complicated, and will also involve more emotional factors.
Wu Chenyuan devoted himself to it.
He wants his colleagues, Hedong Provincial Government, Hedong Provincial Economic and Trade Commission, and Xibao Meat Cotton Factory and other local governments to understand that the Chinese medicine foreign trade is doing this industry!
Foreign trade is not that simple.
The first thing he did was to mobilize all the forces of the National Medical Foreign Trade in the two provinces, organize a large fleet, and transport all relevant people from Xibao Town to Pingjiang as quickly as possible.
The National Medical Foreign Trade Office in Pingjiang set up a guesthouse, stuffing all foreigners from London, old Chinese from the capital, and old people from Pingjiang to isolate more personnel from other units to participate.
The negotiators of Jielikon are not to be outdone, and they are also specializing in this industry!
Both sides went back and forth, blocking the conditions very tightly.
English, Chinese, English, and Chinese, we are having a lot of fun fighting in the conference room of the guesthouse.
On the first day alone, more than a dozen people were busy here on both sides, and twenty or thirty people served here. They didn't have a break until seven o'clock in the evening.
Several translators who took turns to rest were exhausted. Even so, they just came up with an outline.
In addition to Jielikang Company, meat-related factories and national medical foreign trade companies, other units also have various ideas. The provincial government and economic and trade commission hope that manufacturing factories will be settled in the province, and they even hope that foreign trade companies can also be related to the local area...
The Education Bureau is not willing to fall behind. The Westburg Laboratory is under the name of Westburg Middle School. Although it has no ownership relationship, the officials just want a reason to get a share of the pie. Even if there is no cash, there will always be a few opportunities for traveling abroad.
Not only the guys from the foreign trade of China Medical University were thinking about Yang Rui, but because Yang Rui did not participate immediately, it was difficult for others to raise the matter, so they hid in the shadow of the provincial government and observed the negotiations entering the city.
The intrigue at the negotiating table was exhausting. Perhaps the only thing that was happy was Jiang De who had returned. He only saw Ding Yaqin from a distance and greeted him from a distance, but this made him happy enough.
In any case, this is a rare meeting.
After leaving the negotiation table, Wu Chenyuan moved his shoulders, took a sip of the tasteless tea, smiled, and said, "Let's go here first today, have some meals, rest, how about continuing tomorrow at 9 o'clock?"
Foreigners also nodded one after another, tidying up the documents on the desktop while wiping the sweat on their faces. In the fierce season of autumn tigers, there is still no air conditioner in the guesthouse.
Frankie moved his fat butt from the wide boss chair, shook his sweat staggeringly, and then said, "Why didn't you see our technical everyone? Yang Rui, didn't you come?"
"He is still in the school, Xibao Middle School. He should not be involved in business negotiations for the time being." Wu Chenyuan thought that Director Hai and others were wrong to meet with Yang Rui with Frankie. Now, he wants to correct this mistake and separate the two is a correct choice, just like what most industry intermediaries do.
Frank couldn't tell the Chinese business model, touched his chin and said, "If you think it's OK, but I have to remind you that our agreement is built on this technology."
"Of course, I understand very well." Wu Chenyuan then said in a very formulaic language: "I will go back to confirm tonight."
"I hope we can have a good start." Franky wanted to increase his weight a little, so he said: "You know, we are in Beijing, Tianjin and Wuhan, and we are the fastest to start negotiations at present. I think our negotiation results will have a positive impact on future negotiations. I think that a benchmark negotiation should not be mixed with too many additional factors."
"There will be no surprises." Wu Chenyuan once again excitedly guaranteed. This kind of business benchmark is not a benchmark for reform, but definitely a good medium for promotion and wealth.
After leaving the door, Wu Chenyuan gave a few instructions to his subordinates to let them understand the progress of team negotiations in other cities.
As for himself, he had to be busy entertaining representatives of the Jielikan Company and a large number of local cadres.
After a day of brewing, the large investment in foreign trade of national medicine is circulating in Pingjiang's government offices, and there are no fewer people coming to fight for the autumn wind.
In the restaurant of the guesthouse, there were foreign representatives and officials from provincial governments and other departments sitting on the second floor, but the first floor was inseparable from cadres from the municipal party committee, municipal government, district committee, district government, and health department. Even the staff of the street office got mixed in when the banquet was mixed, picked up the white wine on the table and drank it.
The officials upstairs chatted and talked, and the officials downstairs also chatted and talked, just talking about their own affairs.
In these years, blatant embezzlement and bribery were unfair, but cheating on food and drink was almost one of the jobs of civil servants.
At this special node, the Chinese officialdom is a bit like the Japanese workplace in later generations. If a man working in the government comes home on time every noon and evening and cannot go out to eat and drink, it will be a bit disappointing, and the women at home will feel embarrassed.
Wu Chenyuan was busy with reception, and his subordinates continued to deport their work, and finally fell on Lu Chengcai.
Lu Chengcai made a phone call for more than two hours, most of the time it was because the line was blocked and waiting time. Finally, he learned about the relevant situation. When he came back to report, the banquet was over.
Officials who were drinking in the middle of the restaurant were boasting about their great achievements, and the little civil servants on the edge of the restaurant began to pack leftovers.
Even in the years when supplies are scarce, the food for official entertainment is always abundant and good. On some good wine tables, the excess dishes are not consumed at all, and some families with a large population will always find ways to bring some back.
Lu Chengcai ignored them and rushed to eat a few bites of food, filled his stomach, and quickly walked upstairs.
"Mr. Wu is receiving people." Director Hai stopped Lu Chengcai.
"I'm going to confirm the negotiations between Tianjin and Wuhan. I just received the news." Seeing that the foreigners on the building were also in high spirits, Lu Chengcai simply stood at the entrance of the stairs and said, "Mr. Wu wants to know how the talks are happening in other places. I asked. Beijing is still discussing cooperation with the third factory, and the research institute in Tianjin is also actively promoting it. Jielikang has a fancy to several of their blood products, which are relatively strict and have a relatively small total amount. In addition to negotiations between various units, there is also a researcher who goes into business in Tianjin who is working on a business project, which is the one named Xu Xin."
"Xu Xin, is it the one who makes pancreatic enzymes?" Director Hai had a little impression of this. Pancreatic enzymes are a biopharmaceutical product with a huge sales volume and are also developing rapidly.
Lu Chengcai nodded and said, "The more advanced part of his method is that he can use frozen pancreas. About 95% of frozen pancreas are combined with 5% fresh pancreas. It is said that there is no slag discharge during the production process, and no diluent is needed. The British are more interested in this and offer a price of 2,000 pounds."
"2,000 pounds?" Director Hai, who had just experienced a one-million dollar negotiation, looked down on him and said, "Jericon is open for such a low price again."
"From what they mean, it seems that the price has been raised once, mainly because we don't use this technology in China. Frozen pancreas are not stored in China."
"What are the British going to do?"
"It's probably to buy pancreas from outside and then extract it from home." Lu Chengcai wanted to know what he wanted to ask, and shook his head and said, "They won't invest in this technology anymore, so they will definitely take it back and use it. In the end, it may not be certain whether it can be used."
Director Hai asked with a "huh": "Why?"
"It seems that Japan's production scale is larger and the output is higher, and the British are a little unmatched."
"Yes, Japan seems to import a lot of pancreas every year." Director Hai recalled and nodded, "Okay, I know the situation, you go back."
"Okay..." Lu Chengcai thought of what Mr. Wu had reported to him, but hesitated to leave.
Director Hai didn't take it seriously and took the time to say to Wu Chenyuan, who had been drunk.
The latter said "hmm" and felt that the negotiations at other places did not pose a threat, so he felt relieved.
The negotiations on foreign trade of China Medical lasted for more than a week and finally formed a prototype.
For an international negotiation, this time is not long. If it were based on the efficiency of state-owned enterprises in the 1980s, it would be a fast pace.
Tiredness is naturally inevitable.
Wu Chenyuan showed his hard work and was quite willing to go through the house three times but did not enter.
On October 25, at the end of a month, the Chinese Medical Foreign Trade decided to sign a formal agreement with Jielikang Company.
Wu Chenyuan arrived at the venue early. He wore a striped suit. It was customized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs when he went abroad last year. It was so hot that Wu Chenyuan only wore it on very few important occasions.
Director Hai and others were also handsomely sitting behind the negotiation table on the red tablecloth.
Of course, the negotiating table on weekdays is not like this, but today, everything should be full of joy.
"Sign the contract at 10:30 on time, right? They entered the venue at 10:27?" Wu Chenyuan turned his head slightly and asked Director Hai. There were more people watching the ceremony in the hall.
Director Hai nodded with a smile and said, "Jielikon Company has sent an executive president. They will enter the factory at 10:27, chat with us, then sign a contract, shake hands and take photos."
Wu Chenyuan looked at his wrists without any notice, closed his eyes slightly waiting.
Five minutes later, Wu Chenyuan suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "Is the time here?"
“10:26.”
"Another minute."
"Um."
A minute later, the conference hall was still as quiet as this.
Wu Chenyuan complained in his heart: Isn’t it said that foreigners pay the most attention to the concept of time?
After waiting for another minute, seeing that the pointer exceeded 28 points, Wu Chenyuan couldn't help but say, "Who is the arrangement outside? The people of Jielikan are ignorant, and they are not sensible?"
"Or else, I'll go and take a look?" Director Hai covered his mouth with his hands and said softly.
"There are reporters and other units, wait a few more minutes." Wu Chenyuan was lucky, although he knew that the staff outside could not be so ignorant.
It arrived as scheduled at 10:30, and it came faster than Wu Chenyuan expected.
The door was suddenly opened.
The anxious people immediately looked to the right, and Wu Chenyuan and others stood up.
However, it was Lu Chengcai who came in.
"Go and see what's going on." Wu Chenyuan's face was as heavy as if he had painted.
