Chapter 9: Higashino Oki betrayed
Chapter 9: Higashino Oki betrayed
George handed the check to Chen Yang.
In the past, George would never trust an outsider so easily.
But today, it was strange, perhaps because of Haley, or maybe it was because Chen Yanglu's kung fu shocked him, George completely treated Chen Yang as his own.
Chen Yang naturally took the check for $1,500, then he picked up a contract on the table that he didn't know what was written on it, and put the check in it...
"George, the coffee for the two guests is cold. You should ask your staff to rush it."
"No problem, Barry..." George called outside.
After a while, Higashino Daiki and Ono Mitsuo returned to the office.
"Mr. Chen, we reported the results of our meeting to the Chamber of Commerce. The president thinks your price is too high."
"However, we do not intend to give up this cooperation. After I explained it in many ways, the president finally relented."
"According to his instructions, we can add a maximum of 10,000 French francs to the original price." Mitsuo Ono said with some resentment in his tone.
Obviously, after he reported the previous price, he must have been scolded.
Hearing Ono Mitsuo's words, George looked very excited, and kept glancing at Chen Yang, as if to say that this price was very good, so let's just leave it at that...
Chen Yang put down the coffee in his hand and said slowly: "Mr. Ono, to be honest, there was a business before you that asked us for all the goods."
"Mr. George was going to agree to the offer, but he declined it because of the deep friendship between the Japanese Chamber of Commerce and the Biel Company."
"We are sincere in cooperating with the Japanese Chamber of Commerce."
"How about this, add 10%. 10% is our bottom line."
Fart...
Ono Mitsuo didn't believe what Chen Yang said at all.
When did the Japanese Chamber of Commerce have any relationship with the Biel Trading Company? It is obvious that the two parties have no connection at all.
All you have to say is to pay more money.
"I know you don't believe it. I have a contract here provided by the other party. Mr. Translator, you are fluent in French and can confirm the contents of the contract."
As he spoke, Chen Yang handed the contract in his hand to Higashino Daiki.
"Okay, okay, I'd like to see what tricks you are playing..." Higashino Daiki sneered, took the contract, opened it, and then his face changed instantly.
Gulp, Dongye Daimu read it carefully several times, swallowed unconsciously, and hurriedly closed the contract and said, "Yes. Yes, this contract does state that this company is willing to purchase this batch of goods at a price of 180,000."
"Mr. Chen, Mr. George, I feel your sincerity towards the empire. Thank you very much for your support for the empire's cause."
"Mr. Ono, they are willing to pay 180,000 French francs for this batch of supplies, so we can't lower the price too much."
"I think Mr. Chen's request for a 10% price increase is very fair and reasonable."
Higashino Oki spoke beautifully, but his hand was tightly holding the contract, with no intention of returning it to the other party.
Are you kidding? That was a check for fifteen hundred dollars.
Based on the current exchange rate of 3.5:1 between the Japanese yen and the US dollar, this is a huge sum of yen.
As a logistics officer, his monthly salary was only 80 yen. In addition to necessary expenses, he had to send part of it back to his wife and children in his hometown.
As a result, he lived a miserable life every month.
The young non-commissioned officers who came with him ate delicious food and drank delicious food every day and had young girls accompany them in the pub, but he had to think for several days before spending a penny.
With such a huge sum of money in front of him, it would be strange if he said he was not tempted.
Mitsuo Ono suddenly became depressed.
It was Higashino Daiki himself who stated before that the maximum increase would be 10,000 French francs. Now, you've turned against us at the last minute.
"Okay, I also believe in Dongye-kun's judgment. If that's the case, then I'll add 10%."
Mitsuo Ono said helplessly: "Mr. George, prepare the contract."
Are you ready to sign the contract now? George was in a trance. In the past, dealing with these little devils would take at least several days. What happened today? He increased the price by 10%, but the other party was more anxious than him.
What the hell...
"Okay, I'll have someone prepare the contract right away, Barry." George hurriedly called in the assistant from before.
"The signing of the contract is up to you guys. Mr. Translator, let's go out first." Seeing that both parties had reached an agreement, Chen Yang greeted Higashino Daiki.
Higashino Daiki held the contract tightly in his arms, afraid of dropping it. He didn't even have time to say polite words. He turned around and followed Chen Yang out.
The two men left the office one after the other. As soon as they closed the door, Higashino Daiki immediately took out the check from the contract, looked it over several times, and then carefully put it into his inner pocket.
"Haha. Mr. Translator, are you satisfied with my arrangement?" A deep voice sounded from behind Higashino Daiki.
Dongye Daimu looked back and saw Chen Yang looking at him with a half-smile.
"Satisfied, quite satisfied." Seeing that there was no one around, Higashino Daimu was too lazy to pretend.
"My name is Dongye Damu. Excuse me, Mr. Chen seems to have seen through my identity. I wonder how you did it?"
"Identity? What identity?" Chen Yang did not admit it, but just smiled and said, "Mr. Dongye, we Chinese merchants have traveled all over the country since ancient times, and we all know some skills of physiognomy."
"I knew you were extraordinary the first time I saw Mr. Higashino."
"In the words of physiognomy, you have the energy of a dragon and a tiger, and every move you make has the demeanor of a tyrant."
"Mr. Ono doesn't seem like a leader in front of you, but rather like a servant, obeying you submissively."
"Even if you are really inferior to Mr. Ono, you will definitely be able to surpass him in time."
"Mr. Chen's vision is really sharp." Dongye Daimu smiled and said, "I have also met many Chinese businessmen."
"It's rare to find a businessman like Chen Sang who spends $1,500 at once."
"I see you are no ordinary person either."
Chen Yang waved his hand and said, "Mr. Dongye, you are joking. I am just being generous to others."
"What? Isn't Mr. Chen an employee of Biel Trading Company?" Higashino Daiki was a little surprised.
How dare George hand over such an important negotiation to an outsider?
"Oh, Mr. Dongye may not know that I run my own business. A few months ago, I shipped a batch of goods from Jinling to Shanghai."
"It happened to be a war, and the cargo ship was sunk by artillery fire, resulting in heavy losses."
"I see. I'm sorry."
"Haha, there is a Chinese saying that goes, 'blessings lie where disasters lie, and disasters lie where blessings lie..."
"If it weren't for this incident, I wouldn't have gotten to know Mr. George's sister, Miss Haley, and I wouldn't have had the chance to meet someone like Mr. Higashino."
"Although some goods were lost, it doesn't seem like a bad thing now."
Dongye Damu nodded and said, "Mr. Chen is quite open-minded..."
"I really admire people like you. We can become friends..."
Chen Yang smiled and said, "It is my honor to be friends with Mr. Dongye."
"I'm staying at the International Hotel across the street now. If Mr. Dongye needs any business, you can come to me anytime."
"Mr. Chen, you are too serious. What do you mean by taking care of me? If Mr. Chen has any way to make money, don't forget to let me know."
"There are many ways to make money," Chen Yang smiled mysteriously, and said, "I just don't know if Mr. Dongye has the courage..."
