Reborn Industrial Tycoon

This time, Itokawa Katsu didn't go to the toilet again. He actually went to see the president of Sakurada Co., Ltd.

The 50% off discount price was no longer something that Itokawa Katsu could decide on. He had to ask the president for instructions.

The president probably wouldn't accept such a low price, so Itokawa Katsuya still had to convince the president to accept this price.

Itokawa Katsuya went to convince the president, while Li Weidong stayed in the conference room and continued to drink tea.

Based on Li Weidong's understanding of plastic processing equipment, even if it is sold at a 55% discount, Sakurada Co., Ltd. can still make a profit, even more than 5 million US dollars in profit.

The profits of high-end machinery and equipment are very astonishing. Especially in the 1980s and 1990s, Europe, the United States and Japan monopolized the upper, middle and lower reaches of the machinery and equipment industry. At that time, the middle and low-end machinery and equipment could be sold at high prices. The prices of high-end machinery and equipment were even higher.

Ridiculously high.

For Li Weidong, he can certainly take advantage of Sakurada Co., Ltd.'s cutting corners and lower the price, without even giving Sakurada Co., Ltd. any profit margin.

But Li Weidong's purpose was not to kill everyone. Even though he had a handle on Sakurada Co., Ltd., Li Weidong still decided to give Sakurada Co., Ltd. some room for profit.

It is easier to reach a consensus through coercion and inducement. Sakurada Co., Ltd. feels that there is money to be made, so it is naturally easier to choose the approach of calming down the trouble.

If Sakurada Co., Ltd. is pushed too hastily, it might cause some trouble again.

What's more, Li Weidong didn't pay for the equipment himself, so don't worry so much about spending other people's money.

As expected, Itokawa Katsuya did not disappoint Li Weidong. When it was getting dark, Itokawa Katsuya appeared again and brought good news.

"Mr. Li, after my efforts to persuade, our president has agreed to a 50% discount price." Itokawa Katsuya said.

"Thank you, Mr. Itichuan!" Li Weidong said and stood up: "Then I won't disturb Mr. Itichuan. I'll take my leave first."

"Wait a minute!" Itokawa Katsuya stopped Li Weidong, and then asked in a low voice: "What happened at Yankuang five years ago, I hope Mr. Li can keep it secret!"

Li Weidong smiled slightly: "Mr. Itichuan, please rest assured that I will definitely keep it secret!"

…

After leaving Sakurada Co., Ltd., Li Weidong looked at his watch.

"It's almost dinner time, I hope the hotel hasn't opened dinner yet!" Li Weidong thought as he looked around. He saw a phone booth on the street and walked over immediately.

Then Li Weidong dialed the hotel's phone number and asked the hotel front desk to transfer the call to Xie Hui's room.

At this time, Xie Hui was watching TV and waiting to go to dinner.

There was a comedy program being played on the TV. Although Xie Hui couldn't understand the Japanese in it, he still had fun watching the picture.

The phone rang, and Xie Hui was stunned, wondering who was calling him? He couldn't even understand Japanese! I hope the other person knew English.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Hui picked up the phone and said into the receiver: "Hello!"

However, what was spoken on the receiver was in Chinese: "Is this Mr. Xie?"

Xie Hui secretly breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "Yes, I am Xie Hui."

"Xie Ting, I am Li Weidong!" Li Weidong introduced himself.

"Director Li, you called specifically. Are you in any trouble?" Xie Hui asked nervously.

"Ting Xie is worrying too much. I'm fine now. I'm not in trouble! By the way, has Ting Xie had dinner?" Li Weidong asked.

"No, the hotel probably hasn't finished it yet." Xie Hui looked at his watch and then said, "dinner will start in about half an hour!"

"That's just right. I know there is a pretty good izakaya. Why don't you stop eating in the hotel tonight and let's go out to eat." Li Weidong said.

"Well..." Xie Hui hesitated for a few seconds and then said, "I am the leader of the trade group after all. I'm afraid it wouldn't be good to leave the group!"

"Ting Xie, I invite you not only to finish the meal, but I also have something to report to you. It's about the Xizhi Electric OEM order. There are a lot of people talking in the hotel. Some things involving business secrets, I think it's better to report them separately.

That's good." Li Weidong said.

"That's right!" Xie Hui nodded. He didn't know whether Li Weidong really had something to report to him, or whether he was deliberately looking for an excuse to treat him to dinner.

But dinner in an izakaya is definitely much better than in a hotel, and you can also have a drink. Going to an izakaya in the name of listening to work reports is not considered breaking away from the group.

So Xie Hui nodded and agreed: "Okay then, where is the izakaya you mentioned?"

Li Weidong reported an address, but Xie Hui was a little worried. Xie Hui had never been to the place Li Weidong mentioned, and he was worried that he could not find it.

"Ting Xie, how about this? I'll call Translator He and ask him to take you there." Li Weidong said.

Li Weidong dialed He Anan's room number again.

"Moxi Moxi." He Anan's voice came to mind on the phone.

"Have you eaten yet?" Li Weidong asked directly.

"It's you!" He An'an continued: "I haven't seen you in the past two days. How is the negotiation with Xizhi Company going?"

"It's okay to talk. I'm still outside and haven't gone back yet!" Li Weidong paused and then said, "I have something I need your help with."

"I'm telling you, why did you even think about calling me? It turns out that you don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything!" He An'an said in a coquettish tone, "As promised in advance, I won't help you in vain. You have to ask me for help."

I eat!"

"Okay, I'll invite you tonight." Li Weidong replied with a smile.

"How can I help you? Just tell me!" He Anan said.

"Do you still remember the izakaya I pointed out to you when we had sushi last time? The owner was a skinny old man." Li Weidong said.

"Remember!" He An'an then asked, "Do you want to invite me there for dinner?"

"Yes, but it's not just you, but also Mr. Xie! I have something to discuss with Mr. Xie, and I plan to go to that izakaya, but Mr. Xie doesn't know the way, so you have to take him there."

"It turns out you were inviting someone else to dinner, and you took me along with you!" He An'an said pretending to be dissatisfied.

Li Weidong smiled and said: "Don't be picky when you eat and drink!"

…

Not long after, He Anan brought Xie Hui to the tavern.

After Xie Hui sat down, he looked at the people in suits and ties around him and couldn't help but say, "These people come out to drink and are dressed so formally!" Xie Hui couldn't help but say.

"They are all Japanese office workers. Japanese office workers often have dinner together after work every day. Izakaya is their first choice."

At this time, the boss also brought the wine and food. Li Weidong poured the wine for Xie Hui and said, "Xie Ting, try this Japanese wine."

Xie Hui looked at the wine glass, but did not drink it. Instead, he said, "Director Li, you said on the phone before that you had something to report to me. Let's talk about business first! Let's drink after talking about business."

"That's fine!" Li Weidong put down the wine bottle in his hand and said; "Let me first report on the negotiation with Xizhi Electric. Before that, I went to Xizhi's headquarters and met with President Tanaka of Xizhi, and reported to President Tanaka

He proposed that he hopes to take on more OEM orders from Xizhi Electric.

Xizhi Electric also hopes to transfer its small home appliance production business. After all, this part of the business employs many people and is not very profitable. Xizhi hopes to develop into high-end business, so it will inevitably abandon some low-end businesses. It can be said that my

The idea coincides with Xizhi’s biography!”

Xie Hui nodded: "This is a good thing. So Xizhi Electric is willing to give you more OEM orders?"

"Li Weidong shook his head: "President Tanaka rejected me!"

"Rejected?" Xie Hui frowned and asked, "Do you know the reason?"

"Xizhi has already made plans internally, and they plan to hand over OEM orders to Malaysia." Li Weidong said.

A hint of disappointment flashed across Xie Hui's expression.

Li Weidong continued: "The reason why Xizhi Electric chose Malaysia is because Malaysia is close to Singapore, and Singapore can provide plastic parts for the production of home appliances. Xizhi Electric believes that plastic will be the trend of the home appliance industry in the future, so they want

Plan ahead.”

"Plastic? We in China can also produce plastic! In our province, there are Qicheng Petrochemical and Huanghai Petrochemical." Xie Hui said with some dissatisfaction.

"What Xizhi needs is not plastic raw materials, but processed plastic parts! Processing plastic parts requires the use of some relatively high-end plastic processing equipment. These are not available in our country and must be imported from abroad."

Li Weidong paused and then said, "However, I still fought with President Tanaka. If I can buy high-end plastic processing equipment, then Xizhi will reconsider and give me an OEM order."

"High-end plastic processing equipment? Isn't that what Huanghai Petrochemical is purchasing this time!" Xie Hui nodded thoughtfully.

"Xie Ting, you are right. I also thought of Huanghai Petrochemical at that time, so I wondered if I could get high-end plastic processing equipment through Huanghai Petrochemical. So this morning, I contacted the Song Jinlong Factory of Huanghai Petrochemical

Together with the director, we went to the Sakurada Co., Ltd. that provided the equipment and listened to the negotiations between Director Song and the others." Li Weidong said.

Xie Hui frowned and said, "Then you should already know that Huanghai Petrochemical's negotiations are not going well. That Sakurada Co., Ltd. has tightened its offer and refused to give in."

"I know that after the negotiation of Huanghai Petrochemical ended today, I contacted the Japanese negotiators privately and tried to help Huanghai Petrochemical negotiate a price." Li Weidong replied.

"Is it not going to drop a penny?" Xie Hui asked immediately.

Li Weidong smiled slightly: "Fortunately, Sakurada Co., Ltd. made some concessions."

"This is a good thing. Huanghai Petrochemical has been talking for several days, but the other party has not given in! You have made a contribution! Huanghai Petrochemical will definitely remember your favor." Xie Hui then asked: "Ying

How much cheaper can Tian Co., Ltd. offer?"

"It's almost 45 million cheaper!" Li Weidong replied.

Xie Hui calculated silently in his mind, the disappointment in his eyes flashed away, and he just heard him say: "Forty-five million yen, which is almost four hundred thousand US dollars, it is good to save four hundred thousand US dollars."

Li Weidong said: "Xie Ting, I didn't make it clear just now. These 45 million are not Japanese yen, but US dollars!"

"What? Forty-five million US dollars cheaper?" Xie Hui was stunned.
