Within five minutes of contact, Leo dragged the topic into a dead end.
Gu Fei spread his hands and looked at Wu Tao helplessly. The speech he had taught him before was of no use at all. He didn't know how to answer, so he just took a shot and scattered.
Wu Tao nodded, meaning that I would pick it up.
So Gu Fei leaned back, sipped his coffee, shook his legs and completely herded the sheep.
Leo was confused about what Gu Fei meant when Wu Tao suddenly spoke.
"Mr. Leo, with all due respect, your company has been in China for more than a year and its sales performance is poor. Haven't you thought about the reason?"
Leo was surprised, not only because the question was asked directly in English, but also pointed to his weakness, which was a little heartbreaking.
However, as a first-class foreigner with a transcendent status in China, how could Leo be easily asked by this question.
So he didn't even think about it, so he threw the pot lightly and said, "as far as we know, China is a developing country, and the water drinking market is not mature enough. Our products are high-end and technologically advanced, and can not be accepted by our customers for the time being. It is reasonable to have a poor performance. "
"Ha ha ~" after Wu Tao chuckled, he retreated and said, "well, since Mr. Leo thinks your products are positioned at the high end, what is the share of your products in the middle and high-end customer base? As far as I know, although China is a developing country, it has never lacked rich people. "
Leo was obviously overwhelmed. When he was poor, he had to put on his face, "I'm sorry, this is a trade secret. No comment."
"All right!" Wu Tao grew up and said, "although Mr. Leo has reservations about us, we are here with sincerity today. I can tell you clearly that the expected target of the cooperation project we bring today is annual sales of 20 million! "
Leo got up with a jerk. "No way! Hannix's annual sales are only more than 1 million! This is simply an impossible task! "
"In the future, we will walk together. We might as well wait and see!" Wu Tao smiled and turned away.
Bad start!
However, Wu Tao was not discouraged. As soon as he left Jinling Hotel, he figured it out. Even if Italians are willing to condescend and cooperate, it may take a month or more to complete this listing process.
This rhythm obviously can't keep up with his plan.
According to his plan, the product portfolio of water dispenser and barreled water must be fully launched at the end of July and early August at the slowest.
Otherwise, without the favorable "weather time" of high temperature in midsummer, it will be another year later.
In this way, there is no loss in losing the cooperation opportunity of Italians.
Leaving Jinling Hotel, the three drove directly to the barreled purified water plant to be sold.
The water plant is located in Hexi, which was still a beach farmland in 1995. No one would expect that ten years later, it will become a high-end CBD business district in the city, and the price of new houses will exceed 50000.
It really explains the famous saying "today you love me and ignore me, tomorrow I will make you unable to climb up".
Perhaps it is precisely because it is located in the suburbs that the owner of the water plant is willing to renovate the whole factory inside and outside. It can be seen that the other party also wants to do great things. I just didn't expect that the plan couldn't keep up with the change.
This is good news for Wu Tao. As long as the door head is changed, it can be used directly.
As for the consumables such as filter element and permeable membrane in the water purification production line, it won't take much to replace them.
"Boss Gu, it took me more than 2 million yuan to build this water plant. After a year, I didn't earn a dime, and I posted more than 100000 yuan upside down. For my sake, have mercy on me... "The boss, surnamed Zhang, played a sympathy card when talking about the price.
It seems that he really has no cards to play. It's a pity that the sympathy card is in the mall and no one buys it.
Seeing that Wu Tao had no response, Gu Fei laughed and hugged boss Zhang for a while. He said how much he sympathized with you, but he didn't give a penny in the price, 600000, the same price.
Boss Zhang pretended to be embarrassed for a while and could only promise. Otherwise, it's rotten in your hand and you can't even take back 600000.
It can be seen that the 2 million he said is just an imaginary number. If this field is really built, with two production lines and plant construction, 1 million will top the sky.
Turning back to Xuanwu Hotel, Gu Fei's mouth moved several times along the way, but he didn't say anything.
Wu Tao couldn't see it anymore. "Brother Fei, we've done millions of businesses together. What can't we say directly?"
An Rong couldn't help teasing: "my brother-in-law is sometimes a mother-in-law!"
"Shut up!" When Gu Fei is nervous, he is easy to worry.
An Rong vomited her sweet tongue and didn't speak.
Gu Fei shook the steering wheel with both hands and said, "the water plant will be bought in these two days. The business of selling water will be settled this time. In fact, I just want to ask, is that sentence you said to the Italian this morning casually or seriously? "
"What sentence?"
"That's the sentence about the sales target of 20 million."
"What do you say?" Wu Tao threw the problem back.
Gu Fei smiled, "I said, bluffing the Italians is OK. It's really 20 million. How can it be?!"
Wu Tao interrupted coldly, "how impossible? With less than 20 million achievements a year, why do we spend so much effort to develop this market? "
"Ah..." they looked at him in amazement. Did they have a big appetite?
That night, in the private room of Xuanwu Hotel, the three met Mr. Kawabata and his party from Zhonghai.
Small body, round lens, meticulous suit and careful style, you are a typical Japanese at first sight.
A female secretary with long legs and black silk can't see the nameplate's professional clothes. With a skirt and high heels, it is in line with the high sounding pomp of the Japanese people.
For a moment, Wu Tao thought of the 'boss beauty ol secretary. Avi' series
After introducing each other, it turned out that the female secretary was Fujiwara, who knew Chinese culture very well and worked as a part-time translator.
That's right. Do as the Romans do, otherwise the other party won't accept the arrangement of talking at dinner.
Gu Fei got excited when he saw the Japanese girl. I've lived for more than 30 years and haven't tasted Japanese girls yet. So all the hospitality was directed at each other.
Even an ordinary cold dish, cucumber dip sauce, can make up unknown allusions
Wu Tao was also happy to let him play first, chatting with an Rong about where to make a photo album.
Until Chuanduan section chief couldn't see it anymore, he suddenly interrupted: "Gu sang, we worked hard to come from Zhonghai. Can we get straight to the point?"
Gu Fei heard the translation of this from Fujiwara's professional mouth and couldn't help smiling awkwardly, "OK, OK, let's talk while eating!"
