Chapter 70
“It’s been an hour and a half!”
“I’ve changed the water two or three times, asked a hundred times, and there is no accurate reply!”
“This is hanging us here as monkeys!”
A person with a relatively violent temper in the negotiation team couldn’t help but throw the water cup directly into the trash!
“President Zhao, let’s go back or not!”
“What kind of Mr. Dale, it’s obviously playing on us!”
As soon as he said this, the rest of the waiting room who were a little impatient also echoed: “Yes, Mr. Zhao, this is clearly not planning to meet us!”
“Shall we just rush in?”
“Yes, just rush in and see what he pretends to be! Obviously, their company broke the contract first, but now they pretend to be like a second uncle. ”
…”
Mr. Zhao’s face was a little gloomy.
After half a ring, he shook his head and said, “No, keep waiting.”
“Still waiting? Mr. Zhao, we’ve all been waiting for an hour and a half, what are we waiting for?
President Zhao said in a deep voice: “Even if you wait another hour and a half, you have to wait!”
“Today’s negotiations are about the survival of the company, what we can do… Also only wait.
When he said the last sentence, his voice was a little powerless and shameful.
“But…” Several
people also felt the change in Zhao’s mood, and did not say more.
It’s just that a look of humiliation appeared on their faces!
As the president of HW’s operations, who has been fighting on the front line of the mall for many years, how does Mr. Zhao not know that the other party’s behavior is hanging on them?
But, know, what can you do?!
People under the eaves have to bow their heads!
If Longguo can achieve the mass production of 14nm high-precision chips, if Longguo can fight for its own world in the high-tech field.
What if….
Perhaps, they will not have to be subject to others.
It’s a pity that there are no ifs.
Even if HW is already one of the top technology companies in China, there is still a long way to go to catch up with the cutting-edge technology of the Western world.
All they can do is wait quietly in the waiting room, waiting for an opportunity to change their current predicament….
Even if there is only a one percent possibility!
About half an hour later, Karina’s slender figure appeared in front of everyone again.
“Everyone, Mr. Dale is ready.”
Karina smiled sweetly and made a “please” gesture: ”
Please come with me.”
Listening to the sound of “click, click, click” high heels hitting the ground, a group of experts in the negotiating team, led by Karina, came to the door of a room.
“Mr. Dale, I brought you the man.”
“Let them in.”
A strong male voice passed through the door of the office and reached everyone’s ears.
“Squeak~”
The heavy door was slowly pushed open, and a somewhat bald white man with gold wire glasses sat on his desk.
“Guys, let me introduce you.”
Karina smiled slightly and said, “This is the latest head of our Alstom company in the Asia-Pacific region, Mr. Dale.
“Hello, Mr. Dale.”
Mr. Zhao greeted politely, and his eyes inadvertently looked at Mr. Dai Le in front of him.
Dai Le, wearing a sophisticated suit, can be seen from the workmanship and material quality, the price is definitely not cheap.
And in front of the chest of his suit, there was a small sign symbolizing identity, and a symbol on the small brand made Mr. Zhao’s brows wrinkle slightly.
“M10？”
Alstom usually uses the M+ number to represent a person’s rank within the company.
Generally speaking, the higher the number after M, the higher the person’s rank.
For example, the last head of Alstom’s Asia-Pacific region, Mr. Gauss, was M11.
And the newly transferred Mr. Dale, the rank did not rise but was down, one level lower than the original Mr. Gauss, this is contempt!
Mr. Zhao’s face was a little solemn.
It seems that today’s negotiations will be more troublesome than he thought.
“Everyone, please sit down.”
Mr. Dale stroked the frame of his glasses and gave Karina a look.
Karina suddenly realized and walked out of the office slowly.
Not long after, her figure reappeared in Mr. Dale’s office, carrying several portable chairs in her hand:
“Sorry, everyone.”
“Recently, some of the company’s equipment is under maintenance, so I can only use this chair for emergencies, please Haihan.”
She opened her chair and slumped to the floor.
“This…” After
seeing the full picture of the chair, the faces of everyone present changed slightly!
Compared to the well-made wooden chair under Mr. Dale’s butt, the chair Karina brought out looks like an inferior plastic chair in a supermarket.
The material is a little worse, but forget it!
More importantly, the height of this chair is much lower than the one under Mr. Dale’s butt.
This means that
if they sit in this chair, they can only look up at Mr. Dale from the bottom up in the conversation that follows.
There is no doubt that this is a naked insult!
“Mr. Dale, is this your hospitality?”
Mr. Zhao understood that this was his dismount.
Therefore, these chairs, they cannot sit anyway. Once you sit on it, you will lose the face of the entire Dragon Kingdom!
“Guys, I’ve already explained.”
Mr. Dai Le pretended to be innocent and spread his hands and said, “Our company’s equipment is being repaired, and we can find these chairs out of respect for you.”
“Of course, if you don’t want to sit.”
“You can also choose to squat.”
At the end, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
When the interpreter repeated his words, the faces of everyone in the negotiating team turned livid:
“You!”
A few violent temperaments couldn’t help but want to scold.
It was still President Zhao who stretched out his hand to stop them: “We will not sit in this chair, let alone choose to squat.”
“If your company is not willing to provide a suitable chair, then we will have to stand and communicate with you.”
Saying that, he took a few steps forward and looked down at Mr. Dale from above.
“Whatever, whatever you want.”
Mr. Dale tilted his head and said with a hard mouth.
Mr. Zhao was born into a wealthy family, and his parents’ genes are not bad, and his height is considered tall even in the Gallic country with a per capita height of 1.75 meters.
And Mr. Dale, perhaps because of genetic problems, is only 1.72 meters tall.
Coupled with sitting on the stool, he needed to raise his head and look up at Mr. Zhao’s group of people, and his speech became a little difficult, and his neck was even more sore.
After the two sides stalemated for a while
, Mr. Dai Le finally stopped talking hard and relented: “Okay, Karina, you go find a few suitable chairs.”
“Yes, Mr. Dale.”
Karina nodded with a complicated look in her eyes.
She also didn’t expect that the dismount prepared by Mr. Dale in advance was cracked in such a dramatic way…
Soon, wooden chairs, which were more suitable in height and material, were placed in the office.
And the negotiations have finally officially begun….
Mr. Zhao put a batch of documents on Mr. Dale’s desk with a solemn face:
“Mr. Dale, can you please explain what happened to your company’s breach of contract?”
An hour later
, “Excuse me, guys.”
Mr. Dale said arrogantly: “I think I should have explained it clearly.” ”
The breach is because your products, in terms of quality and quality, do not conform to our Alstom philosophy.”
“Therefore, our cooperation had to be suspended. For chip supply, please look elsewhere. ”
You guys!”
Mr. Zhao clenched his fists with some indignation and said, “Do you know that your company’s shameless behavior completely violates business ethics!”
“If you insist on defaulting, I believe that there will be no more companies willing to cooperate with you.”
Hearing Mr. Zhao’s words, Mr
. Daile’s mouth hooked an arrogant smile, as if he had heard some joke.
“Mr. Zhao, did you misunderstand something?”
“Do you think that without HW, our business in the Asia-Pacific region will not be able to function?”
“Although it is a digression, let me tell you that our Asia-Pacific branch of Alstom has just confirmed a batch of orders, and the number of orders is only a lot more than your original order.”
New order?
Hearing Mr. Dale’s words, everyone in the negotiating team was slightly stunned.
In the Asia-Pacific region, their HW is definitely one of the best in related fields, and the other party has just made such a move that violates business credit, how can any company be willing to sign a new order with them?
“As for business credit…”
The smile on Mr. Dale’s mouth became more playful, and he said sarcastically: “Based on the spirit of humanitarianism, we can pay a part of the liquidated damages to your company.”
“By the way, I don’t have to pay for your tea this trip, haha.”
“You!”
“Hahaha, I have important matters to discuss with your guests later.”
Mr. Dai Le waved his hand and said with a smile: “Karina, send off the guests.”
“Guys, please come out with me.”
Karina gave a professional smile and made a “please” gesture.
“You guys… Too much deception! ”
Even the good-natured President Zhao was so angry that his face turned livid!
What else is said to be exempt from tea fees, what is this taking them for? Did you want to eat?
“Hmph!”
Mr. Zhao snorted coldly and flicked his sleeves away:
“If Alstom has maintained such a business credit, I am afraid that it is not far from bankruptcy!”
After knowing that the group of the negotiating team left, the smile on the corner of Mr. Daile’s mouth slowly disappeared.
In its place, there was a grim look!
Mr. Dale flicked the papers on the table and cursed angrily:
“Hateful monkey!”
“If I want to say, I should let all companies ban the sale of chips in the Dragon Kingdom!”
“Three hundred years ago, they were just one of our dogs, less than a hundred years ago, unexpectedly…”
A hundred years ago, when the Dragon Kingdom was not established, their Gallic Kingdom was the world’s hegemon, a top2-level existence, and had the strongest army in the entire European continent!
At that time, only the empire that never set could compete with their Gallic state.
Technology, military, culture, colonies….
Which one, their Gallic country is not a world-top level existence?
But in less than a hundred years, the country of Gaul no longer returned to its former glory, and was even ridiculed by the whole world because of its “surrender”.
The colonies that were once proud are only a handful of West Africa.
However, what about the Dragon Kingdom?
It has changed from a semi-colony to a behemoth with the second largest GDP in the world!
How many Gauls hate this to the point of itching their teeth?
If twenty years ago, they could have mocked the Dragon Kingdom for relying on countless textiles to exchange for a Boeing plane.
Well, now.
They painfully discovered that the Dragon Kingdom also had a position of its own in the forefront of high and new technology!
If they let it go any longer, wouldn’t they be…
Have to! Suppress!
Mr. Dale sat back in his seat with a gloomy face.
But at this moment, the phone rang, and suddenly rang….
He answered the phone angrily, but after hearing the identity of the other party, his tone suddenly became flattering:
“Yes, it’s me.”
“Mr. Smith, I am truly honored to help your company!”
“Okay, don’t worry, I just refused HW’s request, our company’s order will be shipped as soon as possible!”
“Thank you so much for your generosity!”
The caller,
none other than Mr. Smith, CEO of Fruit Company in the Asia-Pacific region!
