Chapter 535: Chapter 534 She Accepted the Report on the Spot
Wang Shui was dealing with a very difficult custor.
His na was Carl, from North Arica.
In fact, Carl arrived shortly after Lin Nianhe left.
And he visited many tis.
The first ti, he ca to look at the samples at the booth, expecting a warm introduction. Instead, the four people behind the booth were reading or drinking tea, not even sparing him a glance.
Carl thought they must have seen him but this was their sales technique, so they ignored him on purpose, thinking once he walked away, they would co after him to give him a warm introduction.
He walked away, and no one stopped him.
The second ti, after wandering around, he ca back to the booth. He got smart this ti and directly asked for the price. Without waiting for the translator to interpret the question, Niuwa replied: Look at the price tag.
Carl was shocked by the price. He wanted to negotiate, but again, he was shut down by the sa kid saying: No bargaining. He thought surely this had to be their selling tactic, and as soon as he walked away, they would stop him and offer a great price.
He walked away again, and still no one stopped him.
The third ti…
The fourth ti…
Finally, after what seed like a carousel of visits from Carl, Wang Shui took him to the negotiation room.
Based on Wang Shui’s years of selling experience, reaching an agreent with such a painstaking person was extrely difficult; even if you gave it to him for free, he’d still think he was being ripped off.
The main reason she took Carl to the negotiation room was because Wong Xiao was dizzied by his constant circling.
However, since they were going to the negotiation room, they still had to make necessary preparations.
Wang Shui asked her colleagues next to the booth about Lin Nianhe’s whereabouts. Learning that she had taken a bearded uncle to the negotiation room, she imdiately wrote a note and asked a translator to deliver it to Lin Nianhe.
Wang Shui understood Lin Nianhe. Taking soone to the negotiation room wouldn’t be simply to relieve Uncle Wong from getting dizzy.
Soon enough, Wang Shui received a note in return.
“350,000, go Sister Shui!”
There was even a smiley face drawn in the corner.
Wang Shui: “…”
Isn’t she supposed to be in a negotiation? How does she have the mood to draw smileys for ? How easygoing is the uncle she took with her!
Looking at Carl, who was haggling down to the last penny. Wang Shui was enviously thinking of Lin Nianhe.
She even overlooked the detail that their inventory had decreased by 350,000.
“Oh no, my dear, don’t be so sure, everything in business is negotiable. My family’s supermarket has 160,000 square feet; you probably haven’t seen such a big store, right?”
Wang Shui: “Whether your family has 1.6 million square feet of market or not, it has nothing to do with us. Our headwear taking up twenty square ters is enough.”
“No, no, no, you can’t say that, listen to , let explain slowly…”
Wang Shui: “Since your family has such a big market, why are you haggling over a penny with ?”
“That’s a different matter. I think your prices are very unreasonable, it’s too expensive, you’re disrupting the market.”
Wang Shui: “Then go find a cheaper one.”
“At the Trade Fair, only your booth is selling headwear. This bothers a lot. You haven’t given other options, you’re monopolizing the market, and it’s extrely unethical.”
Wang Shui: “…”
She was wrong, she should have let Wen Lan co earlier to talk him to death.
Wang Shui pressed her brow, impatiently asking him, “Are you going to buy or not?”
After the interpretation was conveyed, Carl, with a disgusted yet earnest look, said, “Of course, if I did not want to buy, why would I co to a negotiation with you? We are discussing the price now, aren’t we?”
The interpreter’s professionalism prevented her from rolling her eyes at Carl, instead, she looked at Wang Shui with sympathy and translated his words for her.
Wang Shui was about to lose her patience and flip the table.
She cleared her throat and sternly stated, “Our price can’t change at all, not even by a penny. If you can accept it, we continue; if not, please leave.”
“Hey? That’s not the attitude for doing business, how can you stick so rigidly to the price?” Carl looked incredulous, “I am going to report your behavior to the Foreign Trade Departnt!”
Wang Shui nodded repeatedly, “Go ahead, you may do that. I can even help you call soone from the Foreign Trade Departnt right now.”
Report to the Foreign Trade Departnt?
He was really digging his own grave.
“Fine! I’ll go now!”
Carl believed nobody could stand up against the Foreign Trade Departnt and thought the young lady was just bluffing. She would surely stop him if he walked away.
He left, and as usual, no one stopped him.
The scene was set, and Carl had no choice but to stiffly go and lodge his complaint.
“I want to report to the Foreign Trade Departnt! The ‘Lan’ brand’s product prices are outrageous! The attitude is terrible! They are disrupting the market!”
Just as the receptionist was about to respond, a clear voice ca from not far away, “Really? Co on, elaborate.”
Lin Nianhe slowly walked over, showed his work ID to the receptionist, and then tilted his chin up at Carl, “Please, tell us your story. What has ‘Lan’ done to you?”
Carl, seeing Lin Nianhe, thought his savior had arrived and imdiately said, “Their prices are too high!”
Lin Nianhe replied earnestly, “Oh, you can’t afford it?”
“Of course, it’s not that I can’t afford it. My family’s supermarket covers 160,000 square feet, how could I not afford it? What I an is, their headwear is priced too high, it’s not worth that much!”
Lin Nianhe, with a serious face, nodded repeatedly, “Oh, so you’re angry because you can’t afford it?”
“I’ve told you, it’s not that I can’t afford it—it’s their problem!” Carl was so agitated that he started pulling at his hair.
With a faint smile, Lin Nianhe countered, “How about I offer five yuan for your 160,000 square-foot supermarket?”
“What are you thinking? That’s impossible! Even five hundred million wouldn’t be enough to sell it to you!”
Nonchalantly, Lin Nianhe said, “I think your supermarket’s price is inflated. I’m going to report you to the embassy.”
Carl: “…”
Because the two were speaking in English, the vast majority of foreign rchants around understood, and even for those who didn’t, there were helpful interpreters nearby.
In no ti, the space was filled with laughter and cheerful voices.
Lin Nianhe cleared his throat, his voice rising a few notches, “All products at the Trade Fair are officially priced after review by the Foreign Trade Departnt, and cooperation is based on mutual agreent, with no possibility of forced buying or selling. Here, you need to abide by the rules set by the Foreign Trade Departnt. You have the right to express dissatisfaction, and the rchants have the right to refuse to work with people like you.”
These words were intended for the other foreign rchants to hear.
The people around nodded and agreed. The fair pricing of the Trade Fair’s commodities was evident to all, and in their eyes, the man before them was making an unreasonable fuss.
Carl’s face turned from pale to flushed with anger, grinding his teeth as if wanting to bite Lin Nianhe.
With a subtle smile, Lin Nianhe advised, “Sir, I suggest you think carefully before you act. Sui City now gathers countless business elites. The Foreign Trade Departnt will not be responsible for any consequences of your personal actions.”
“Missing a contract is a minor issue—”
A hint of mockery flashed in Lin Nianhe’s eyes, and he tapped his own cheek lightly with two fingers:
“Missing face is a major one.”
