Chapter 514: Chapter 514: Straight to the point This is a strong statement, and even Liu Xiao and Du Min, who are rivals, feel inspired when they hear it. If it weren't for the wrong situation and timing, they would both want to like this statement.
Your opponent will always understand you best. Liu, who works in foreign trade, and Du Min, who wants to work in foreign trade, understand very well how difficult it is to close a deal, and even more so how it feels when a deal is about to be closed but someone comes along and steals it away.
So they never expected the boss of Jiasheng to say something like that. However, they really like this hot-headed boss as an opponent.
The Japanese were also caught off guard.
Nanako's professional and refined smile was a little stiff on her face, and she didn't even think about translating for Sato, who was waiting nearby. She suddenly felt very sad. This was not the kind of result she wanted.
Fortunately, there was Xiaojiang. He was very good at translating such tit-for-tat words. Watching and listening to the changing expression on Sato's face, Xiaojiang felt that this job he had taken on today was really unexpectedly wonderful.
'Why don't you go to Fengyuan? I have some work to do and need to go back to the office. But if you have any problems in the provincial capital and we can help, please feel free to call me. Goodbye!' Gao Zhiyi said this sincerely.
'Thank you,' Nanako said without asking Xiaojiang to translate this time. She bowed first, then translated it to Sato in a babbling manner.
Sato found it quite puzzling. It seemed that Jiasheng really didn't care about the list, so what was the point of all this arrangement? It was clearly meant to help Jiasheng, but now it seemed to have backfired.
Thinking about the popularity of Jiasheng's products in the store and the main purpose of his visit, Sato, who had been holding himself together, finally couldn't remain calm any longer.
Seeing that Gao Zhiyi and Xiaojiang had finished talking and were about to leave, he quickly bowed and said a lot of things with a sincere expression on his face.
Xiaojiang translated a few words at the same time, and then Nanako spoke up, 'I'm sorry, Manager Gao, it was our mistake. We shouldn't have changed the schedule. We're very sorry! We'll cancel our trip to Fengyuan today. Please tell your company's chairman that we look forward to meeting him today.'
Liu Xiao and Du Min, who had just praised Feng Yiping's words while laughing at him for pushing a customer into the arms of a competitor, had never expected such a turn of events. Now, they were at a loss. Sёarch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
'Sorry, we really trust Manager Liu's recommendation and would love to visit President Du's factory, but we have a prior commitment with Jiasheng and we don't want to break our promise, so unfortunately, we can't go to your factory today,' of course, it was Nanako who said such soft words.
Liu Xiao and Du Min now deeply felt what it was like when a cooked duck was about to fly away. What do you mean you don't want to break your promise? You originally arranged it this way, didn't you want to break your promise?
However, they could not say anything as forcefully as Feng Yiping.
'Mr Sato, our factory is in the provincial capital, which is very convenient. It won't take long, and we sincerely welcome you all to come,' Manager Liu was a little anxious.
As long as they could bring the Japanese to the factory, then there would be something to talk about.
Sato gave them a shallow bow with a cold face, and after a greeting, the staff pushing the luggage immediately pushed the luggage trolley towards the car that Gao Zhiyi and the others had brought.
'I'm sorry, I'm very sorry, I'll contact you both again,' Nanako stayed behind to take care of the aftermath, bowing to them twice in a row.
However, Manager Liu and Du Min, who would have hated to return the Japanese bow with two bows, all hastily bowed a little.
This gesture made it clear that the Japanese were simply using them as a bargaining chip with Huasun. The point was that now they didn't want this bargaining chip, and it felt a little humiliating.
They were so attentive and considerate, but in return they got such a result. Du Min's face showed anger, but Manager Liu had experienced more and was mentally stronger, so he forced a smile and said, 'Then we'll be waiting for your call tomorrow.'
...
It was nearly 4:00 p.m. when the business car carrying the three Satos finally arrived. Feng Yiping put on an air of a hospitable host and waited with Xiao Zhijie and Wang Changning at the door, 'Welcome!'
Nanako, who was walking in front of them, bowed, 'I'm very happy to see you, Feng Jun. I apologise for any previous rudeness.' Although Feng was quite annoyed by their formalities, Nanako's bow was indeed very gentle.
'It's fine,' Feng Yiping shook Mr Sato's hand, who was about to bow as well, "Mr Sato, nice to see you again.'
Unexpectedly, when shaking hands, Sato still bowed, so Feng Yiping had to return the bow. "Please come in!'
Feng Zhenchang stood in front of the office building's main entrance. The three Japanese people, upon hearing Xiaojiang's introduction, were busy exchanging greetings again. It had to be said that this set of rules, although quite cumbersome and troublesome, and demanding on the waist, was indeed quite pleasing to older people like Feng Zhenchang.
In China nowadays, when juniors meet their elders, it's already good if they can just say hello. The polite ones will at most let you go first on the roadside, unlike these Japanese people?
But I don't know if Feng Zhenchang really doesn't understand or is just pretending not to understand. Anyway, the three Japanese bent over very frequently, but he never bent once.
His office is air-conditioned, but it's never been used. Although it's not quite as hot as if there was a draught, it's still very hot. Feng Zhenchang saw that they were sweating in the heat, even though they were all dressed up, and said, 'You've come a long way to visit us, and since you are our guests, you should do as we say. Take off your jackets,'
He was also qualified to say this because of his age.
'Thank you, Mr Feng, then we will be rude,' Sato stood up, bowed again, and then took the lead in taking off his jacket, but still wearing his tie. "Also, is this one in the factory where we are now?" he asked, pointing to the workshop over there.
Feng Zhenchang is also very direct in his work. 'Okay, I'll take you there,'
The temperature in the workshop was well-controlled and very cool. Everyone was in the changing room, changing into full protective work clothes. It felt cool and secluded walking inside. After all, it was a food factory, and the noise of the machinery was within an acceptable range. The overall feeling was quite good.
The workers kept their eyes fixed on their posts, looking very professional. Only when the factory manager was introducing his process to the customer did he take the opportunity to glance at the three Japanese.
It didn't feel like there was much difference, except that they weren't tall, and the woman, although her face was a bit lacking, was definitely good-looking.
It seems that although Sato and the others didn't say anything, Feng Yiping, who had been observing them carefully, could tell that they were quite satisfied.
Indeed, Sato and the others had visited more than one similar food factory and knew quite a bit about them, so they could be considered experts. Now, seeing this small factory in the ravine, with its perfect systems, using the most advanced equipment, and first-class environmental control in the workshop, with strict requirements for each process, they were somewhat surprised and felt a sense of unexpected joy.
'We also want to see the radish field. Is that a problem?' Nanako asked as soon as she had taken off her full work uniform.
Feng Zhenchang was about to laugh. "No problem. But you've come a long way, so first put your luggage away and rest. Tomorrow morning I'll take you to the field,'
'Okay then," Nanako hesitated, and Sato replied over there, feeling that Feng Zhenchang's expression just now was a bit strange.
As soon as they entered the building, Xiao Zhijie, who was following behind, laughed. 'Radish field now? I thought they knew everything, but it turns out they don't even know the common sense of what vegetables are in season,'
'Keep your voice down, they can hear you,' Feng Yiping patted him on the back, 'After a few more years in the city, you'll be like this too, used to eating out-of-season vegetables,'
Over there, the three Japanese people had been thinking about the situation they had seen on the way here – probably similar to the feeling of Chinese people who later went on a tour of North Korea – and had consciously lowered their expectations of the accommodation. They had been determined to make do with just one night since they had come to the Third World, but they had never expected that the room would actually be quite good! It was bright and clean, fully equipped, and everything looked brand new. It felt like a bit of a pleasant surprise.
It was as if they could feel the sincerity of Jiasheng!
However, they were still very dedicated. After freshening up a little, they immediately found Feng Zhenchang to get down to business, and they came right to the point: 'We believe that there should be room for negotiation on the price your company gives us. As far as we know, the retail price of the same products in supermarkets is nearly half lower than the settlement price you give us. We would like to know the reason.'
