Qin Chizian seemed lost in thought, while Deputy Director Jia went straight to the point: "We have tentatively set the price at 12 yuan for small items on our end, 90 for the woven bed, 60 for the rattan table, and 50 for the rattan chair... If you think it's too low, we can discuss it further, but the increase should not exceed 30.
Also, for your... I mean, the entire township, you can only supply goods to our trading company. If there are no issues, we can sign a long-term supply contract. As for how much we sell for and where we sell, it's not your concern."
Qin Chizian quickly responded, "Brother, rest assured, I understand. We don't have the ability, nor will we take advantage, let alone sabotage our own interests! I will draft a document tonight."
Deputy Director Jia fully agrees with Qin Chizian's "insight": "Good, you go ahead, make sure to do it solidly, only then can we both win."
In the past few days, Grandpa Jia has been taking Qin Chizian out for a stroll every day. The two of them went to Yuexiu Park, Liu Hua Lake Park, Haizhu Lake Park... watching people play chess and spin tops.
Qin Chizian gave the old man two walnuts, and the old man stared: "This thing is all cracked, what's so fun about it."
But enthusiasm is difficult to dispel, and it is held in hand every day in a repetitive manner.
Tomorrow there is important business, Qin Chizian told the old man that he wouldn't accompany him, but the old man didn't mind: "Important matters are important, you guys go ahead and be busy."
Jiangcheng Chamber of Commerce subordinate Huan Ya International Trading Company conference room.
On the right side of the conference table, a whole row of people sat down, and Deputy Director Jia formally introduced one by one: "Mr. Qin, this is our Huacheng Commercial Bureau director, secretary Comrade Wu Ming, and this is the Executive Deputy Director, Huan Ya Trading Company general manager Comrade Zhi Hongkai..."
After shaking hands in a circle, they formally took their seats, and Qin Chizian was arranged to sit on the left side of the conference table.
Some staff took photos, and in the picture, Qin Chizian was alone facing nine people on the opposite side, with a somewhat poignant feeling.
The general manager of Party A gave a speech, emphasizing the significance of this business deal over its content, and hoping that Party B will make a rational bid based on the principle of serving the country and creating foreign exchange. The intention is clear, but the price negotiations are very difficult. All small items are quoted at 15 yuan, the woven bed at 125 yuan, and the rattan table (chair) is quoted at 130 yuan per set. Basically, all prices have increased by 25 from the prices revealed by Deputy Director Jia.
But the last-ranked foreign trade department, Director He, disagreed. He directly handed over a piece of paper: "The purchase price was determined in our meeting. I don't think we need to waste any more time. If you agree, we can increase the price by 10% from the current price. Otherwise, I think it will be difficult for us to continue the discussion!" The words were harsh, and no one else spoke. But Qin Chizian noticed the general manager tapping the table lightly with his finger, and the leader, the bureau chief, unconsciously furrowed his brow. Qin Chizian took the paper and saw that it was a meeting summary, with the price consistent with what Deputy Director Jia had said yesterday.
Everyone was watching how Qin Chizian would respond next.
Qin Chizian stood up and bowed deeply to everyone across from him. "Leaders, it's not that I want to nitpick over this price personally; no matter how high the negotiations go, it doesn't affect me much! I come from a rural background, and I understand the difficulties faced by farmers. Our Wenyuan is an old revolutionary base area, and our Baliushu is the last-ranked township in the entire county. The average arable land per person in our township is less than one mu, and the grain we manage to harvest barely sustains us! Many children can't afford to go to school, and many farming families live in houses that leak when it rains. Even our town government's courtyard has four or six people crammed into a small office."
I travel for work like this, and the travel expenses are all squeezed out of the local finances. No matter what price we offer, I accept it. I represent the people of the old revolutionary base areas and express deep gratitude to all the leaders! After Qin Chizian finished speaking, everyone across from him stood there in a daze, including the previously aggressive Trade Office Director He, who also bowed his head and stopped speaking.
Now, we just need someone to come out and make a decision, and that will settle it. leader the director and the general manager Deputy Director exchanged glances, then lowered their heads to quietly exchange opinions. The general manager Deputy Director stood up and said, "The top leader has said that we not only need to focus on economic civilization, but also on spiritual civilization. Whether we are cooperating or not, if the people from the old revolutionary base areas come to us in need, we cannot refuse to lend a helping hand!"
leader nodded, and everyone expressed their agreement.
The general manager continued, "I propose to raise the price by 20 on the basis of the original meeting minutes. All in favor, please raise your hands."
The general manager and the director raised their hands first, followed by the leader. The vote passed unanimously!
Next is to sign the memorandum and the formal contract will be signed by Qin Chizian after returning.
When exchanging the memorandum, both parties shook hands and smiled sweetly.
