Chapter 41 Selling Chips at 7 Times the Price
Chapter 41 Selling Chips at Seven Times the Price
Hu Jiangshan couldn't stand the sun and quickly boarded the Seahorse.
He took a can of drink from the refrigerator and drank it while enjoying the sea view.
To be honest, Brother Fu still has a pretty good life.
If Hu Jiangshan was not a scientist and did not have such a strong sense of mission, and was reborn as a wealthy man in Hong Kong, he would have enjoyed a life of luxury.
To be honest, Hu Jiangshan is not a person who has no desires for anything. After solving the current problem, he really wants to be a rich second-generation.
Three days later, China's Magic City.
The Shanghai World Trade Center is one of the most upscale office buildings in Shanghai. In addition to large financial and real estate companies, the only companies that can work here are multinational trading companies.
Vinson International Trading is such a trading company.
Behind Vincent International is the Huafu Street Capital Consortium, which has business operations in more than 100 countries around the world and is extremely powerful.
At the same time, in an office of Vincent International Economic and Trade Company, two executives were whispering and discussing.
One of the executives was a blond, blue-eyed foreigner from America named Michael Herman.
The other one is a local Chinese named Zhao Zhanlong, who also gave himself a name, James.
Michael and James, when these two are put together, others would think they are from a basketball team.
Michael took a sip of coffee and said, "James, will the people from Huayao be here soon?"
Michael spoke Mandarin, albeit with a thick Western accent, but fairly fluently.
Zhao Zhanlong nodded: "Yes, the appointment is at ten o'clock in the morning, and it will be here in half an hour."
Michael said, "Oh my God, it's too early, it's too early, James, you know? I got up at nine o'clock for this meeting, and it's killing me."
Zhao Zhanlong chuckled: "Mr. Herman, after you finish talking to them, you can go back and catch up on some sleep."
Michael waved his hand: "No, I have a date this afternoon. I have to have coffee with a beautiful lady and then go to a nightclub."
Zhao Zhanlong smiled flatteringly: "Then congratulations to Mr. Herman on his success and great success."
"Hmm? What do you mean? Your Chinese idioms are too complicated to understand."
After Zhao Zhanlong gave a brief explanation, Michael finally smiled with relief.
"Oh, James, you are such a good brother to me. I will buy you a drink later."
The two finally got down to business.
Zhao Zhanlong said, "Mr. Herman, we are discussing this deal with Huayao. The U.S. Department of Commerce should know about it, right?"
Michael waved his hand and said, "James, just keep your heart in your heart. You have to know who is behind us. In America, no, it should be the strongest organization on Blue Star."
Zhao Zhanlong nodded and finally felt relieved.
Zhao Zhanlong was originally worried that doing business with Huayao might get into trouble, but since Michael said so, it means there is no problem.
If you think about it carefully, the big conglomerates on Wah Fu Street are not just rich, their power can influence the White House.
This time, Huayao’s people came to discuss business with Vincent International, so it must not be an ordinary business.
Not only is the business big, it’s also critical.
Huayao has recently been aggressively purchasing chips on the market, especially advanced chips, and it can be said that it is spending huge sums of money to stock up.
Vinson International happens to have a batch of chips on hand, including high, medium and low-end chips, and the quantity is not small. Now it is just waiting for Huayao to come to negotiate.
Michael said: "James, will your Huayao Association agree to our conditions?"
Zhao Zhanlong thought for a moment and replied, "Mr. Herman, I think seven times the price is indeed too high. They will definitely bargain it down. I guess five times will be enough. So, Mr. Herman, what's our bottom line? Four times?"
Michael smiled coldly: "If you want to buy it at four times the price, then it's too cheap for Huayao."
Zhao Zhanlong smiled and said, "Then let's set it at five times."
Michael took a sip of coffee and smiled: "Five times is not impossible, but it depends on how much sincerity they bring." Zhao Zhanlong was secretly shocked. It seems that Michael has a big appetite.
He is truly an elite from Huafu Street. When it comes to interests, he cannot be ambiguous at all.
If Huayao wants to reach an agreement on the negotiations this time, it will be impossible without being skinned alive. In the most likely scenario, it will be skinned alive twice.
But this is normal, because Huayao has offended the most powerful force in the world.
As the saying goes, take advantage of the moment when you are ill.
For Huayao now, it would be a waste of this good opportunity if we don’t take advantage of the situation.
Just then, the assistant pushed the door open.
"Mr. Herman, Mr. Zhao, people from Huayao are here."
Michael stood up and said, "Let's go, dear James, let's go and hear what the people from Huayao have to say."
A moment later, in a conference room.
Michael, Zhao Zhanlong, and their lovely assistant Linda sat on one side of the long conference table, and sitting opposite them were the people from Huayao who came to negotiate.
Two people came from Huayao, both of them were famous Huayao bosses.
One is Sun Yafang, the second-in-command of Huayao, second only to Ren Yunfei, and the only person who can argue with Ren Yunfei.
The other one is Wang Chengdong, the boss of Huayao’s consumer business, known as Wang Dazui.
The two of them came all the way to the Magic City, naturally determined to make this deal.
Of course, they also knew that this time the negotiation would be difficult and the other party would definitely ask for a high price.
There is nothing we can do about it; the situation is stronger than us.
In order to allow Huayao to last longer, we have to buy chips no matter what the cost.
Sun Yafang asked: "Mr. Herman, Mr. Zhao, how many chips does Vinson International have?"
Michael was calm and looked at Zhao Zhanlong, obviously asking him to speak.
Zhao Zhanlong smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Sun, let's watch the projection."
Zhao Zhanlong asked Linda to connect the laptop to the projector and open a spreadsheet.
The chip names, models, and quantities are densely listed above.
To be honest, the number is quite large, but the types of chips are also very diverse, with dozens of items in total.
After a rough look, Huayao only really needs a limited number of items.
Sun Yafang asked: "How are you going to sell so many chips?"
Zhao Zhanlong replied: "Mr. Sun, these chips need to be sold in packages."
Sun Yafang frowned: "Selling in a package? What does that mean?"
Zhao Zhanlong explained: "This means that these chips must be sold together and cannot be sold separately."
Wang Chengdong said, "What? Can't we disassemble them and sell them separately? We don't need those junk chips!"
Zhao Zhanlong shrugged: "Sorry, Mr. Wang, there is nothing we can do about it. These are our conditions."
Sun Yafang waved her hand: "Okay, these are your conditions, I understand, do you have any other conditions?"
Zhao Zhanlong smiled and said, "The other conditions are not really conditions. It's just a matter of discussing the price. Mr. Sun, Mr. Wang, we want to sell it at seven times the market price."
"Wha, what!?"
