Chapter 489 The Lion's Big Opening
"You're flattering." Anduin raised the coffee cup in his hand modestly, "With your strength, it's just a piece of cake to do this. Maybe we will have a chance to cooperate in the future, and there are still many things to ask. It depends on your place."
"Oh? Cooperation? What do you mean?" Claremont knew that the main event was coming, but he still put on a curious expression.
"Yes, I came to Germany this time for the purpose of cooperation." Anduin showed a puzzled expression when he said this, "And I think the progress of cooperation needs to be accelerated, because I found that something confusing."
"Really? If you need my help, please feel free to mention it. Although I am only a small person, I still know a lot about Sid." Claremont smiled and refilled a cup of coffee for Anduin himself.
"West Germany... This is what confuses me." Anduin repeated the word repeatedly, "I found that in Germany, East Germany and West Germany are almost completely divided into two worlds, even this The same goes for Dudenlou."
"This is indeed a special situation for us. The relationship between us West Germans and East Germany is not harmonious. There are some historical reasons here. It seems that you are also very interested in politics?" Claremont slightly Nodding his head.
"I don't really care about politics or politics, but business has brought me a lot of trouble." Anduin put down the cup in his hand and said with a serious face, "You should have seen it too. When I was in Egypt, I negotiated cooperation with two German merchants."
"But who would have thought that these two merchants actually belong to different... er, how to say, regions?" Anduin paused, "One of them is in East Germany, responsible for selling our civilian products, and the other is in West Germany. Germany, in charge of selling alchemy equipment."
"However, the two series of products of our Silver Flash Trading Company cannot be fully circulated in the two regions. East Germans cannot buy our alchemy amulets, and West Germans cannot see those magic lamps. This is equivalent to letting I lost half of the local market."
Anduin shook his head with a distressed expression, as if a large piece of Galleon was waving to him in front of him.
"I have indeed heard of the situation you mentioned." Claremont nodded slightly, and then joked, "It is said that this has made a lot of money for the local black market. To make a fortune, it is obviously in a country and it turns out to be the same as smuggling."
"Who says no? Isn't this the equivalent of losing a lot of business to me?" Anduin shook his head helplessly, then looked up at Claremont, "As an elite in Germany, you don't care about this What do you think of the division between East and West Germany, and when will the situation here be eased?"
"What kind of elite am I?" Claremont shook his head modestly at first, and then said with sincerity, "I'm not pessimistic about the relationship between East and West Germany, but I think the possibility of splitting in this way is more likely than reunification." Much bigger."
"Oh? Then how big do you think it is? Is the possibility of unification high in terms of probability?" Anduin knew that the other party was the leader of the leading splinter organization, but he still asked curiously. He didn't want to expose too much of himself details.
"If you want me to say..." Claremont pretended to think for a while, "I think there is a [-]% probability that Germany will continue the process of splitting, and it will no longer be a country in a few years, maybe even magic The Ministry will thus be split in two."
"It seems that you are not optimistic about the reunification of Germany. The other people I visited these days also have the same opinion." Anduin frowned slightly, "If this is the case, then the Silver Flash Trading Company will The strategy in Germany is about to change."
"You don't know..." Anduin said with some melancholy, "I came to Germany this time mainly to find a product dealer who can cooperate with me for a long time. My original cooperation with the two merchants can only last for one year. time."
"But in the current situation in Germany, perhaps one dealer cannot satisfy the market, and there must be a merchant on both sides of East and West Germany that can cooperate."
"What's even more troublesome now is that the goods on both sides of East and West Germany cannot be exchanged with each other. Maybe before I talk about long-term distributors, I have to talk to two temporary agents on both sides first, so that East Germany can sell alchemy equipment, so that Only if West Germany can sell civilian items.”
"This is much more troublesome than I originally imagined." Anduin said with a embarrassed expression.
Sure enough, I guessed right, this kid is here to negotiate with the dealer, Claremont nodded silently for himself, and then replied with a smile, "Oh, Anduin, this is actually not troublesome, you just need Turn these two collaborations into one."
"Oh? What do you mean?" Anduin accompanied the other party in acting.
"You just need to select a long-term distributor in both East and West Germany, and let them sell the part of the products that are lacking in the local area. After the other short-term contracts are over, you can fill in the product categories for them and that's it."
Claremont didn't think that people like Anduin would fail to think of this. Didn't this kid want him to take the initiative to propose a cooperation intention and then take the initiative?
He thought he had seen Anduin's tricks, but he didn't mind it, as long as it allowed him to win the dealership.
"Your idea can indeed save me a lot of time." Anduin nodded implicitly, and then went straight to the point, "I wonder if Lord Claremont is interested in the business of Silver Flash Trading Company?"
"It's natural." Claremont said without any concealment, "If you are willing to cooperate with my firm, we must be able to join forces, and I will definitely assist you in developing the local market."
"Is it a strong alliance?" Anduin nodded when he heard the words, "But there are also many powerful merchants in Germany. I am suitable and have no reason to choose you. Maybe I should call a few more merchant owners to host One bid, let’s take a look at everyone’s sincerity.”
"Mr. Wilson." Claremont immediately put on a serious expression, "With all due respect, there are not many merchants in West Germany who can take your business. To put it bluntly, my merchants are in the alchemy industry. , is considered to have the highest market share in the local market, and you will not be disappointed if you choose to cooperate with us.”
"Oh, really?" Anduin just nodded when he heard the words, and then showed a pensive expression, as if he was thinking about something.
Seeing this, Claremont couldn't help cursing inwardly, this kid really doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles, don't you mean that you want me to tell you the truth?
"Mr. Wilson, maybe you can listen to my quotation. If you think it is suitable, there is no need to discuss it with other firms and waste your time."
Claremont knew that it was time to bargain, but he did ask for something, and he might suffer a bit later. I hope this little fox's appetite is not too big.
"Okay." Anduin replied calmly after hearing what Claremont said, "In that case, let me see His Excellency Claremont's sincerity."
"Mr. Wilson, we, Claremont Magic Supplies Store, are willing to pay you a one-time agency fee of 1000 Galleons for an order worth 3000 Galleons, and directly pay a 20% deposit, and at the same time guarantee that in the next 3 years, every year Import goods worth at least 2000 Galleons to Silver Flash Trading Company."
Claremont looked at Anduin with a sincere expression. To be honest, the conditions he gave were not bad, and they even got orders from their firm for the next three years.
After all, who knows whether there will be a market for the products of Silver Flash Commercial Bank in two years, or whether they will be impacted by other homogeneous products on the market.
When the pirated version comes out, if it is still cheaper than Anduin's product, his order may lose money.
Anduin couldn't help nodding secretly when he heard Claremont's conditions. This old guy is quite arrogant, but since I'm here to trick you this time, how can I not let you bleed?
"Your quotation is indeed quite sincere." Anduin nodded with a smile, but immediately changed the subject, "However, even if Germany is such a big market, even if it is divided into two, an order of just 3000 Galleons will easily be sold. It has been digested, not to mention the 2000 Galleons a year in the future, and a one-time agency fee."
Claremont frowned when he heard this, and secretly scolded Anduin for being greedy, but he still asked with a smile, "Then what do you think?"
"Hehe." Anduin chuckled, "Your Excellency Claremont, you must know that the products of our Silver Flash Firm have passed the test of the Egyptian market, and even the alchemists in Egypt are full of praise, and Even they couldn't replicate my work in a short time."
After laying the groundwork, Anduin began to talk loudly, "First of all, the three-year guaranteed order is too short, and the price is not reasonable. I suggest that at least a five-year long-term contract be guaranteed!"
"In the first year, the order must be at least 5000 Galleons, and every year after that, an order of 5000 Galleons must be guaranteed for five consecutive years, and the one-time payment of the agency fee is not reasonable. I will not change your first payment, it is still 1000. Galleons are fine, but we still need to pay us an agency fee of 500 Galleons every year in the future, this is the most basic sincerity!"
When Claremont heard this, his expression could no longer be as calm and composed as before, his eyes were as big as copper bells. He didn't expect Anduin to be so cruel. What's the difference between this Nima and Ming Qiang?
But before he raised any objections, Anduin continued, "At the same time, I am a little worried about whether your business situation as a dealer is really as good as it seems. To cooperate with us, you only need to prepare 5000 Galleons in cash as a reserve. , deposit it in the Silver Flash Commercial Bank as a guarantee in case your side fails to deliver the final payment!"
