Chapter 668 Agent Plan
Inside the conference room of the Civilian Technology Research Institute.
A group of businessmen from the peninsula were whispering. Obviously, they were a little dissatisfied with Zhou Tian's idea of asking them to sell soy sauce and vinegar together. But after all, they needed Zhou Tian's help, so it was difficult to refuse. They could only discuss with each other.
"Okay, I know you may not be happy about me forcing soy sauce and vinegar on you, but what I want to say next is that as long as you agree, we will have a big business with you again!"
Zhou Tian, Old Lu and other bosses looked at the Peninsula merchants below, all with unhappy expressions. After all, they had gained a lot of benefits from the country, but now they were just asked to sell some local specialties of SX, and these people looked unwilling. This made Old Lu and others look down on these merchants even more.
Similarly, Zhou Tian's evaluation of these people also changed slightly.
"Commander Zhou, we are businessmen. Although the soy sauce and vinegar from your province are indeed better than what we usually use, it does not mean that we need them. You know, although the price of soy sauce and vinegar is cheap, the shipping cost alone is not enough for them to take the risk!"
Just then, a businessman stood up and said.
"Yes, Chief Zhou, even if we don't talk about the shipping costs, it will take a long time for the Peninsula to accept these products from your province in a short period of time. We can't follow your example and force a binding sale with a certain product, right?"
A businessman also echoed.
Obviously, these businessmen are not stupid. Although the products are good, they cannot guarantee that they can be sold if they want to sell them without any reputation.
If they can sell it, it will be good for everyone. But if they can't sell it and Zhou Tian is offended, then they will not be able to cooperate with Zhou Tian for a long time in the future. Naturally, they don't want such a situation to happen.
What's more, the businessmen who can come to China are not fools. They all know that since Zhou Tian proposed it, they will definitely help. However, as the saying goes, there is no gain without pain. If they don't take the opportunity to get some benefits, they will be unwilling.
Now they explained the difficulties in front of Zhou Tian. If Zhou Tian insisted, they would naturally agree to it. However, they could not guarantee what the sales situation would be like at that time.
Zhou Tian himself had memories of the future, so he was naturally clear about the purpose of these businessmen. He knew that these people, to put it bluntly, wanted to get some benefits from him, but he knew even more clearly that if he agreed to these people so easily, then in the future when he interacted with these people, they would be put in a passive position, which was not a good thing.
After figuring out everything, Zhou Tian knocked on the table immediately. When all the businessmen below were quiet, he said, "I believe you all know what kind of person I am. You have cooperated with me for so long. Through these years of cooperation, you have made a lot of money in the past few years.
But as the saying goes, greed is the key to success. The condition is this. If everyone agrees, we will be happy. But if everyone disagrees, I believe that we don't lack you.
Okay, I'll say it again. If you agree, I will introduce a big business to you as usual. If you don't agree, you can leave. Okay, it's getting late. You can discuss it. We'll leave first. If you agree, please contact my secretary first!"
After Zhou Tian finished speaking, he stood up first, followed by Mr. Lu and several others. Then, Zhou Tian left the meeting room in front of the stunned businessmen.
After leaving the meeting room, Zhou Tian didn't care what the businessmen inside were discussing, and went to his office with Mr. Lu and others.
After they sat down, the fifth in command said angrily, "These businessmen and capitalists are nothing. You know, they made a lot of money by selling our farm machinery last year. Now, we just need them to sell some daily necessities like soy sauce and vinegar, but they are threatening us!"
"Okay, don't be angry. Isn't this something we have thought of a long time ago? Isn't it said that businessmen will not do anything without profit? It's just that their appetite is a little big now!"
Mr. Lu first comforted the fifth in command, and then said thoughtfully.
Everyone is involved in politics, so they are not fools. In fact, they can still see the purpose of these businessmen. But even though they know it clearly, they don't want everyone to be led by these businessmen.
"Mr. Lu is right. In fact, these businessmen have this purpose. They are actually looking at us and want to force them to sell our products, so they take the opportunity to make such demands. They just want to see if there are any benefits. If we compromise, then they will naturally adjust their strategy of cooperating with us in the future. But if we don't compromise, they may give in!"
Zhou Tian has been dealing with these people for several years, and combined with some understanding of businessmen in his previous life, he naturally knows the nature of these businessmen. Therefore, there is no need for him to continue to deal with them.
Instead, it would be better to take advantage of this opportunity to give them a warning and let them see the reality. After all, he does not represent himself or the Zhou family, but the country.
"So that's how it is. Comrade Zhou Tian, do you think they will surrender?"
After hearing the explanation from Mr. Lu and Zhou Tian, the others suddenly understood, but two of them still asked with some concern.
After all, they were the ones who needed help from the other party, and they didn't think these businessmen couldn't see that if they gave in, everything would be fine, but if they parted on bad terms, it would not be a good thing for the future development of sx.
"Don't worry, these people can't cause any trouble!"
Zhou Tian smiled and assured.
Not to mention other businessmen, there are quite a few who made their fortunes from the Sijiucheng Home Appliance Factory. If these people are really ignorant, then there is no need for them to get involved.
In his opinion, as long as the product is good and he controls the production and sales rights, these businessmen cannot escape from his control. Of course, today's scene also made him see some things clearly.
Perhaps it is time for them to support their own agents and establish their own sales channels. After all, if they always rely on these businessmen, it is not impossible that they may bite back at any time.
Thinking about it, he kept this plan in mind, intending to mention it to his superiors when the time comes, so that he could make preparations in the following period. In case the West and Southeast Asian countries jointly target China, it could also be used as a way of retreat!
