Chapter 393 Hawkers
Chapter 393 Hawkers
It turned out that Teacher Mu didn't want to, nor was he too lazy to say it, he was simply controlled by Gao Yi's words.
I was just shocked and numb, my brain and body were numb, from the top of my head to the soles of my feet, and I couldn't speak or move for a moment.
Generally speaking, extreme fear, extreme joy, extreme sadness, and extreme disbelief will lead to this kind of psychological control.
I don't know which type Mr. Mu is, but the way to get rid of this kind of hard control is also very simple, just hit him to wake him up, or call him, or scare him awake.
Teacher Mu obviously belongs to the last type. He was still in the stage of hard control. Suddenly, when he heard Gao Yi say that he didn't need it, the hard control effect disappeared and his sense of fear rose rapidly. I guess he didn't know what nerves suddenly came back to him. His whole body was electrified and he could speak again.
The evidence is obvious because Teacher Mu even swore.
As we all know, when all emotions reach their peak, the last words that come out of your mouth uncontrollably are "Oh my God."
"I'm sorry! I lost my composure! What you said is true! Are you sure you're not joking?"
Teacher Mu emphasized the tone of every word he said.
Gao Yi said without hesitation: "What I said is definitely true, but the authenticity of this thing needs you to identify it. To put it bluntly, I am just a middleman. The other party said that they can sell it, but I haven't received it yet, so I dare not guarantee anything now. Uh, tell me the price."
"Yes, tell me the price. You tell me."
"Well... the seller wants 500 million, and the middleman wants a 10% commission, which adds up to 550 million US dollars."
"Hiss...ha...uh...cough cough, you have to pay your bribe too."
"Well, how much is appropriate? I have never done this kind of business before, and I don't plan to make money from it. How much do you think is appropriate?"
"I don't know either, because I've never done this kind of business before. To be honest, no one has done this kind of business before. I'd like to say that if the item is real, let's talk about it based on the guaranteed price of one billion US dollars. I can make this decision for the buyer first. Don't worry, I promise that this is just the lowest price we have initially contacted. The guaranteed price is definitely negotiable. What do you think?"
Teacher Mu was afraid that Gao Yi would not be satisfied, so his attitude at the moment was that as long as you can sell it, I promise not to bargain.
The greatest military technology intelligence in human history is placed before us and on the shelf. Even if you are the only buyer, you will rush to buy it.
Because the seller is not Russian, but a small group of Russians whose identities are unknown. God knows what will happen. The simplest case is that the seller is accidentally hit by a car, and then no one who has access to this information is willing to sell it, then everything will be ruined.
"Okay, I'll contact the seller right away, agree to their offer, and proceed to the next step of the negotiation."
Teacher Mu said very sincerely: "I will give feedback to my superiors immediately and raise funds immediately. With the foundation of our first cooperation, this cooperation will definitely be very smooth. I am not sure about the specific process of the cooperation yet. Please give me some time so that we can study it. Maybe we need to find an expert to inspect the goods, but everything is easy to talk about. I am not a professional in this field. I will find an expert to connect with you immediately. Please give me some time."
If they asked for 500 million, they would give them 1 billion directly, and that was just the minimum price, and they also clearly stated that the price could be increased.
Is Teacher Mu stupid? Does Teacher Mu have too much money and has no place to spend it? Does Teacher Mu want to waste it?
None of these are the case. Anyone who still hides things and puts on airs at this time is a fool.
Not even a second can be wasted. If you waste a minute, you will be a sinner to the country. If you drive the seller away, you will be a sinner for all eternity.
Gao Yi felt Mr. Mu's sincerity, and he said happily: "Okay, I will contact the seller. As long as the price of 550 million can be guaranteed, everything else will be fine. At least I can get the seller to prepare for the transaction as soon as possible. Then I will talk to him first."
"I beg you, please make sure to make this deal happen! That's it for now, um, wait a minute, what should I call you?"
A safe and trouble-free name is needed so that Teacher Mu can write it in the report when reporting to his superiors.
Letting Gao Yi give himself a code name is a sign of respect for him.
Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "Just call me Xiao Gao."
"Okay, Xiao Gaotong... ahem, sorry, sorry, I lost my composure, I lost my composure, I was too emotional, I'm not professional, I made you laugh, if it's convenient, how about I ask a professional to contact you in the future?"
"No need. I think it's easier to communicate with you. Teacher Mu, shall we contact each other later?"
Mu Tianwen’s teacher is just called Teacher Mu.
Teacher Mu was stunned for a moment, then he immediately reacted. Since that was the code name Xiao Gao gave him, then it should be Teacher Mu.
"Okay, let's contact each other later." The phone was hung up.
Gao Yi was about to call Xie Erjin, but after thinking about it, he did not rush to make the call.
Green knew everything, there was no point in hiding it from him, and when it came to dealing with the Russians, Green was obviously more experienced.
So Gao Yi left his room again and saw Green. He said directly, "We have reached an agreement over there. Now we have to talk to the seller. How should I negotiate?"
Green looked somewhat relieved. He said calmly, "Aren't you going to hide it from me and bypass me to contact the seller?"
"I trust you. There's no point in hiding it from you. If you're afraid that I'll swallow the benefits that should be given to you, then you're underestimating me."
Green sighed, and then he whispered: "The first thing is to bargain. You must not directly agree to the direct offer from the Russians."
"Bargaining? No, the buyer has already agreed and is willing to pay 1 billion, which is far more than the seller's request."
"If you agree to the Russians' offer, it's not a big deal if they temporarily raise the price. What's more worrying is that they feel you've taken advantage of them, which would cause unnecessary twists and turns in the transaction. Bargaining is a sign of respect for the seller. You must make the Russians feel that they've taken advantage of you, rather than selling you a good thing at a low price and letting you take advantage of them."
Green held up three fingers and said seriously, "Let's start with 300 million, leaving room for price increases."
Gao Yi was very obedient. He picked up the phone and called Xie Erjin. When Xie Erjin answered, he said calmly, "This deal is fine in principle, but 500 million is too expensive. It's hard for me to make a deal. 300 million, your commission is still 50 million, how about that?"
"Three hundred million is too little."
"Dude, you have to understand that sonar fingerprints are very important, but there is only one buyer, and they have their own fingerprint database. It's really hard to sell if the price is too high. The most important thing is that I have to leave some profit margin for myself. You asked for 500 million, and the seller will only pay 500 million at most. I only make 50 million after all the hard work, which is not appropriate. So I pay them 300 million and leave some profit margin for myself. How about that? Otherwise, I will lose money, I really will lose money."
Sherkin said without hesitation: "No, this is a barter transaction with cash compensation. You have to understand that your profit is still the information of metallic hydrogen. You have to understand that without this additional transaction, you can't sell your information at all. Now that Dongda pays, it's really good that you can get 50 million."
Gao Yi sighed and said, "Hey man, I left you a profit margin, how can you let me earn less? Can't you talk to the seller? We are friends, you have to let me have enough profit and don't let me lose money."
"It really won't work. The seller should take 400 million as the bottom line."
"I could have gotten 100 million, but now you only allow me to get 50 million? I also have to bear the risk cost. This won't do! Absolutely not! Otherwise, you can give me some of the benefits and take 30 million."
"Needless to say, this is absolutely not possible!"
Pull, pull again and again.
In fact, the amount of money is not important. What is important is that the middleman Sherkin and the seller KGB must feel that they have made a profit and got a good deal.
Gao Yi said angrily, "I gave you your own bottom price, but you didn't take my interests into consideration at all. This is not good, man. Do you know how many people I need to share the money with when I sell this thing? I can't make a dollar at this price! You should at least leave me a little profit. The buyer doesn't have to have it. I took a big risk and I didn't even check the goods. What should I do if what you gave me is worthless?"
"Don't worry about the quality of the goods. They are absolutely complete. You can inspect the goods on the spot and make the transaction. Is that okay?"
"Inspection is the most basic thing, but I still need to inspect the goods, which increases my costs. Haven't you considered the safety costs?"
Sherkin was silent for a moment, then he gritted his teeth and said, "You can make up for the loss from Dongda, but here, I'm sorry, I really can't give in."
"You really are... Forget it! Buddy, just consider it as me giving you a discount this time. I've made a big loss, and you must understand that I'm willing to do this business at a loss just to make friends with you. If there's such business in the future, I must make it back!"
"Of course, of course. Actually, you won't lose money this time. You'll just earn less. That's enough, man."
"How to inspect the goods, how to deliver the goods, time and place, hurry up, finalize these before I regret it, damn, I really lost money, I have to give away 70 million out of 100 million..."
The profit ratio Gao Yi mentioned was very realistic. Xie Erjin really had no doubts. He immediately said, "I will contact the seller right away and contact you again after the goods are delivered as soon as possible."
After hanging up the phone, Gao Yi looked at Green. Green said calmly, "You don't act like a profiteer doing big business, but more like a hawker in Chinatown. But... who let the Russians buy into this? This is psychological massage, satisfying their psychological needs. Okay, this deal is settled."
Gao Yi heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I have never done this kind of business, and I have never seen how the big guys do it. I am only familiar with the bargaining model of the vendors. It doesn't matter. The vendors are the vendors. As long as the transaction is stable, it's fine."
