After Tang Weiran finished speaking, he couldn't help but secretly observe Xia Ruofei's expression.
As an executive of a large state-owned enterprise, he actually felt nervous in front of a young man like Xia Ruofei. Wei Jianming's previous words had a big impact on him.
In addition, Xia Ruofei always had a kind of indifferent temperament. This kind of temperament could not be faked, and it was not something that could be cultivated with money alone. Tang Weiran had a sense of familiarity with this temperament. He had been fortunate enough to attend a high-level dinner party in the past. At the dinner party, a second-generation heir of a powerful father also gave him the same feeling.
What made Tang Weiran heave a sigh of relief was that after Xia Ruofei finished listening to his words, a faint smile finally appeared on her face.
Xia Ruofei said, "President Tang, it seems that the leadership of Tong Ren Tang Group is very capable, especially this kind of courage to face internal conflicts. It's admirable!"
"Boss Xia, you flatter us," Tang Weiran said modestly, "Once again, I apologize to your company on behalf of the group!"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "President Tang, in that case, let's talk about the cooperation!"
After that, Xia Ruofei said to Liu Qian, who was taking notes, "Liu Qian, there is a sample bag of caterpillar fungus in the first drawer on the right side of my desk. Go and get it for President Tang and Researcher Zheng to identify."
"Yes, Chairman!" Liu Qian immediately put down her pen and stood up.
Tang Weiran quickly said, "Boss Xia, didn't Comrade Zhongming already identify it fully before? I don't think it's necessary, is it? "
Xia Ruofei glanced at Tang Weiran's researcher, Zheng Xu, with a smile that wasn't a smile. She said, "Brother Lin has indeed appraised it, but it's best for President Tang to take another look!"
Tang Weiran had brought a senior Chinese Medicine researcher here. It was impossible that they were here just for show, right? This was a sales contract worth hundreds of millions. Even if the Tang Weiran came with the mission of mending relations, it was impossible for them to sign it without even looking at it.
If something went wrong in the middle, he would lose his official position at the very least. In the worst case, he might even be imprisoned for a few years. Causing the loss of state assets was not a light crime.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei did not take Tang Weiran's polite words to heart.
Tang Weiran laughed awkwardly and said, "Then … let's see the Taoyuan Company's products!"
Xia Ruofei nodded and motioned for Liu Qian to immediately get the bag of caterpillar fungus that he had left in the office as a sample.
Soon, Liu Qian brought it over. It was a small sealed bag with about three to four hundred caterpillar fungus inside.
Through the transparent sealed bag, Zheng Xu could vaguely see the caterpillar fungus inside. His eyes could not help but light up — these caterpillar fungus were really big.
Tong Ren Tang's Traditional Chinese Medicine Research Institute was still very strong. They could get some precious Chinese herbs that were difficult to buy on the market. After all, they were only doing research and did not use a lot of them.
As a senior researcher, Zheng Xu usually came into contact with a lot of precious Chinese herbs. Naturally, he had seen a lot of top-level caterpillar fungus, but it was rare for him to see such a big one.
Such caterpillar fungus, let alone being sold in bulk, would be regarded as a treasure if it appeared occasionally.
Zheng Xu opened the sealed bag and began to identify it with such excitement.
Tang Weiran was not very good at professional matters. He did not put on airs like Chen Shun and did not get involved in the identification at all.
It was a necessary skill for a leader to leave professional matters to professionals.
Xia Ruofei sat in the chair calmly. He had expected Zheng Xu's shocked look. To be honest, this batch of caterpillar fungus had been identified by Doctor Huang brought by Lin Chung-ming, the procurement specialist brought by Chen Shun, and the researcher Zheng Xu brought by Tang Weiran. Xia Ruofei was almost tired of seeing this kind of shocked expression.
Tang Weiran was very concerned. Although he did not look at the caterpillar fungus, he had a panoramic view of Zheng Xu's expression.
Finally, Zheng Xu reluctantly put down the caterpillar fungus in his hand. Tang Weiran immediately asked, "Old Zheng, how is it?"
Zheng Xu said excitedly, "President Tang, it's definitely a pure caterpillar fungus! And its quality is much higher than the special-grade ones. It's simply the best that can only be found by chance! "
Tang Weiran suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. It was fine as long as there was no problem with it.
And now, not only was there no problem, but it had also far exceeded his expectations.
In fact, Wei Jianming had also said that as long as the quality of this batch of caterpillar fungus was above standard, he could buy it at a premium price. Now, it seemed that the quality was not only above standard, but also much higher. This was simply an unexpected surprise!
Zheng Xu asked with a strange expression, "Boss Lin, how did you negotiate in the first place? Why didn't you hurry up and get this kind of caterpillar fungus? Are the people brought by Chen Shun blind? "
Zheng Xu was a typical technical talent, and even a bit of a nerd. He did not have any scruples when speaking.
Lin Chung-ming said with a wry smile, "Researcher Zheng, my price for this batch of caterpillar fungus is 750,000 yuan per kilogram …"
Zheng Xu immediately nodded and said, "In terms of the quality of the caterpillar fungus, this price is quite reasonable!"
Lin Chung-ming said with a wry smile, "Who said it wasn't? Originally, we had already negotiated the conditions and only needed to sign the contract. Because we don't have enough authority in Eastern China, I reported to the leaders in charge of the chain companies as usual and wanted to apply for authority. I didn't expect the chain companies to immediately send a purchasing manager over … "
Lin Chung-ming paused and said with resentment, "This Manager Chen left us aside as soon as he came. After seeing this batch of caterpillar fungus, he gave Boss Xia a purchase price of 500,000 yuan. You saw the result, the negotiation directly stopped!"
Zheng Xu slammed the table and said, "500,000 yuan? Isn't this nonsense? Does he even know how to do business? "
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "President Tang, Researcher Zheng, I don't know whether Chen Shun is familiar with the business or not, but the purchasing specialist he brought with him that day also personally appraised this batch of caterpillar fungus and also approved of Brother Lin's initial offer. Although his voice was very low, I happened to have sharp ears and accidentally heard it … But after listening to the opinions of the purchasing specialist, Chen Shun still gave such an outrageous price, which is a bit puzzling …"
Although Tang Weiran had a general understanding of the situation, after all, it was only hearsay. Now that Zheng Xu had personally appraised this batch of caterpillar fungus and approved of Lin Chung-ming's initial offer, while Chen Shun's offer was a full 250,000 yuan lower, which was equivalent to a cut of one-third, this gave Tang Weiran an even more direct feeling.
What's more, the details that Xia Ruofei mentioned were even more thought-provoking now that they thought about it.
Tang Weiran's face darkened and said, "They're treating work like child's play! This must be dealt with seriously this time! No matter who was involved, those who should be punished, those who should be punished, those who should be dismissed, those who should be dismissed, those who should be dismissed! The atmosphere of the chain companies must be properly rectified! "
Tang Weiran's words had basically determined Chen Shun's fate, and it was no surprise that Chen Weinan would also be implicated, and this fish was quite big, enough to stir up the muddy waters of the chain companies …
Xia Ruofei ignored Tang Weiran's somewhat perfunctory pleasantries and said with a smile, "President Tang, if you have no doubts about the quality of the caterpillar fungus, then we can talk about the cooperation …"
Tang Weiran quickly said, "No doubts at all!"
Although Xia Ruofei only took out a sample, he knew that Xia Ruofei wouldn't play any tricks, because all the products must be checked before signing the agreement. There was no point in playing tricks now.
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Brother Lin has quoted a price before. It's 750,000 yuan per kilogram …"
Tang Weiran didn't wait for Xia Ruofei to finish and said eagerly, "Tong Ren Tang is very interested in this batch of caterpillar fungus. I can make the decision to increase the unit price by 30,000 yuan and buy it at 780,000 yuan!"
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but be a little speechless. In fact, he just wanted to continue the transaction at this price, but Tang Weiran raised the purchase price himself, and Xia Ruofei couldn't refuse the money that was sent to his door.
So he nodded and said, "I have no objections to this price, but …"
"Boss Xia, I understand!" Tang Weiran interrupted Xia Ruofei again and said, "We will deal with Chen Shun and Chen Weinan quickly. I will report to Chairman Wei again soon, and we will be able to come up with the preliminary treatment by today! We can wait until tomorrow to sign the contract. "
Xia Ruofei was speechless. He thought to himself, What the hell do you know! When did I want to talk about Chen Shun?
In fact, Xia Ruofei wanted to raise two conditions, but Tang Weiran thought that he knew Xia Ruofei's thoughts very well and successfully interrupted him again.
After all, in Tang Weiran's mind, Xia Ruofei was already a second-generation heir, and he was very likely to be a very powerful person among the second-generation heirs. In his opinion, such a person might not care much about money, but he would definitely care a lot about face.
After Tang Weiran finished speaking, he looked at Xia Ruofei expectantly. He felt that this was enough sincerity. Not only did he take the initiative to raise the price, but it was already evening. It was absolutely unprecedented for a state-owned enterprise like Xia Ruofei to finalize the deal today.
Xia Ruofei could only helplessly go along with Tang Weiran's words. He nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll talk about the contract tomorrow, but … I still have two conditions, and I hope President Tang can agree to them."
"Boss Xia, please speak!" Tang Weiran said with some anxiety.
He was worried that Xia Ruofei was still not satisfied, and if he raised any more difficult conditions, he would inevitably struggle again.
Speaking of which, as the leader of a department-level state-owned enterprise, this trip was also quite difficult for him.
However, Tang Weiran was the group leader in charge of the chain companies. He was responsible for the chain companies' problems, and he was also Wei Jianming's confidant. He could only bite the bullet and do this kind of thankless task since Wei Jianming had ordered him to do it.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "First, we hope to pay most of the money as soon as possible after the agreement is signed. Specifically, we hope to pay at least 100 million yuan within four days."
Tang Weiran was slightly relieved. Tong Ren Tang's stores were all over the country, and their cash flow was quite abundant. Even if they paid in full, there would be no problem. Four days was enough.
He immediately said, "No problem, I can agree to it now!"
"Thank you, President Tang." Xia Ruofei said, "As for the second condition, I hope that the main body of the contract is not a chain company, nor is it Tong Ren Tang Group, but the East China Region. To be precise, I hope to sign the contract with Brother Lin."
Lin Chung-ming suddenly showed a look of gratitude and excitement as he looked at Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei is giving me a golden achievement! It's definitely a big gift!
Even if it was bought at a price of 780,000 yuan, with Tong Ren Tang's powerful channels and a large number of high-end consumer groups, this batch of goods would still be profitable. Even if the majority of the profits would be earned by the Taoyuan Company, the invisible boost to the brand's popularity was immeasurable.
Such a performance would be enough to let Lin Chung-ming quickly gain a foothold in the East China Region and establish his prestige. The foundation for further progress in the future would also be more solid.
Tang Weiran had long seen that Xia Ruofei was taking care of Lin Chung-ming. Even if he did not sign the contract in the name of East China Region, he decided to promote Lin Chung-ming at the appropriate opportunity to express his goodwill to Xia Ruofei.
Moreover, for a leader at Tang Weiran's level, he no longer needed to compete with Lin Chung-ming for this performance.
Therefore, he said without hesitation, "Okay! This is the business that Comrade Zhongming personally ran down to us! "
"Then there's no problem!" Xia Ruofei stood up and stretched out his hand to Tang Weiran across the conference table. He said with a smile, "President Tang, I wish us a happy cooperation!"
"Happy cooperation!" Tang Weiran hurriedly stood up and shook hands with Xia Ruofei.
He even felt that his palms were a little sweaty. It was indeed rare for a department-level leader of a state-owned enterprise to be so nervous in front of a young boss in his twenties.
"We've prepared some light wine in the cafeteria. President Tang, please come!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "You can drink a few more glasses in the evening, and then rest at our farm. The conditions are limited, I hope President Tang won't mind."
Xia Ruofei still gave the necessary respect to this child of fortune.
"No, no!" Tang Weiran quickly said, "We can't ask for more! People like us who live in a forest of reinforced concrete all year round yearn for such a rural life so much! "
"Then President Tang, you can stay for a few more days!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "I'll provide food and accommodation here!"
Everyone suddenly burst into laughter. They had reached a consensus on the most important part, so everyone's mentality was more relaxed.
It was almost time to get off work in the evening, so Xia Ruofei took Tang Weiran and the others directly downstairs to the cafeteria.
Although Xia Ruofei did not specifically instruct, Feng Jing had already arranged for the cafeteria to prepare dinner after confirming Tang Weiran's identity. When everyone arrived at the cafeteria, Taoyuan specialties were served like flowing water.
Tang Weiran was naturally full of praise for the delicious Taoyuan vegetables and the mellow Zui Ba Xian liquor, and it was not hypocritical flattery. At least 80 to 90 percent of it came from the bottom of his heart. Even the corporate leaders who were tested by alcohol would not be able to remain calm in front of the double delicious taste of the Taoyuan vegetables and Zui Ba Xian liquor.
Lin Chung-ming wanted to leave a deep impression in the hearts of the leaders, and Tang Weiran was also willing to see Lin Chung-ming in a new light in order to get on good terms with Xia Ruofei. Therefore, his attitude was very kind, and he even chatted with Lin Chung-ming for a long time. Lin Chung-ming could not help but feel a little flattered, and at the same time, he was even more grateful to Xia Ruofei.
The guests and the host enjoyed the meal. Xia Ruofei solved the financial problem and did not need to use the overseas funds, and Tang Weiran successfully completed the task assigned by Wei Jianming. Moreover, things were developing in the best direction of "turning a bad thing into a good thing", so both of them were in a very good mood.
In contrast, some people in Beijing were in a very bad mood.
