Chapter 175 Business negotiations in another world
Facing Fleiss who suddenly jumped up, Nunnally couldn't help but be startled. On the contrary, Fangzheng and Nimfu still seemed very calm. The former had participated in countless similar business negotiations, and the latter simply didn't care about these small things.
Trouble - in her opinion, the master can definitely handle it.
"Mr. Ezio, we cannot accept it. You should understand that if we purchase the blueprints of these two inventions, we will have to organize manpower to conduct experiments and then manufacture them, which will waste a lot of money and time."
What Freis is talking about is actually a common problem both on earth and in other worlds, that is, the factoryization of technology. The technology and steps coming out of the laboratory are completely different from those in the factory. Similarly, in the alchemy workshop
If the technology that comes out wants to be mass-produced, it is naturally impossible for alchemists to complete it alone. Although each force hires some idle alchemists who have not opened a workshop, it is obviously impossible for these people to use it to make
Mass production work.
Just like you can't send a bunch of designers to a factory to build a car.
The car production line is pretty much the same.
"I already have a complete production process on hand, and I will give it to you after the agreement is signed."
Fleiss has his own reasons, but that doesn't mean that Founder will listen to him. The processing of greenhouses and slime fertilizers are very simple. It is not difficult to come up with one by referring to the production process on earth. Of course,
Due to the different development of civilizations, Fang Zheng also put some thought into it.
"Forty percent is still too high."
Frese was relieved to hear that the other party had complete "after-sales service". Many alchemists only make sure to make things, and many times they don't even care about how to make these things faster. Therefore, those
Chambers of Commerce often spend a lot of time and money in this area. Of course, if you are lucky enough to be able to mass produce, that would be great. If you spend a lot of effort and find that mass production is impossible or the cost is too high, then...
…hehe.
"You know, if we sign an agreement, our Northland Chamber of Commerce will encounter attacks from many forces and even suffer certain losses..."
"This is your own business."
Nunnally, who had never participated in business negotiations, felt a little soft-hearted when she saw Frese's pitiful look. She had no choice but to participate in countless business negotiations. Fang Zheng, who had experienced many battles, obviously would not be swayed by crocodile tears.
When it comes to business negotiations, you have the technology and the creativity to do whatever you want. Don't say I want 40%, I just want you to take off your clothes and dance in front of everyone, so you can't
Gotta bear it.
Besides, no businessman is a traitor. If a businessman can believe 50% of his words, he is considered honest.
On the contrary, I put forward 40% of the request, but the other party did not leave immediately. This in itself is enough to illustrate the attitude.
Frese talked with Fang Zheng for a while, but there was no result. He had no choice but to say goodbye and leave. After watching Frese's ball-like figure disappear, Nunnally, who had been sitting next to Fang Zheng, became uneasy.
opened his mouth and said.
"Mr. Ezio, are you going a little too far? I think Mr. Fleiss is quite good... If you want 40%... it's probably too much."
Although Nunnally is a pure alchemist who has little research on economics, she also understood the meaning of Fangzheng and Frese when they talked. Fangzheng's request was that his alchemy workshop would receive a North American grant every year.
The local merchants will receive 40% of the proceeds from the sale of greenhouses and slime fertilizers.
This is a huge number.
In the main world, the relationship between the Chamber of Commerce and the Alchemist Association is a bit like branches and leaves. The Alchemist Association is also like a platform organization like X Bao. The Chamber of Commerce is naturally the X Bao shop owner who opens a store on the platform.
Of course, some of them are individuals and some are groups, depending on the size. For example, the workshop opened by Nunnally herself is considered a personal store of X Bao. And the one like the Northland Chamber of Commerce is a chain store of a large group.
Fleiss made a rough estimate when he complained to Fang Zheng before. If the 40% is added up, he may have millions of gold coins.
When Nunnally heard this number, she was completely stunned.
She could never imagine that she could get so much money by just treating the slime's skin and body fluids casually, and adding a fine wooden frame or something. It was like she was dreaming.
To be honest, if Fang Zheng hadn't already agreed to take the lead before this, Nunnally might have agreed. She really felt that it was too unsafe to make so much money. She didn't want tens of millions—no, hundreds.
Don’t take it for granted, just give me a few thousand gold coins. These slimes are worthless at all. How can I exchange them for so many gold coins!!
So when Frese left, Nunnally looked at Fang Zheng with a very complicated heart. She also felt that Fang Zheng was simply robbing money...
"Forty percent is not much at all. Don't look at him crying about poverty. This is also the basic skill of a businessman. In fact, if he really feels that it is too much, he will just turn around and leave. But he still sat down.
Yeah, guess why?”
"this………"
Faced with Fang Zheng's inquiry, Nunnally was stunned for a while before reacting.
"Because he can make money?"
"Of course, if he can't make money, he won't discuss it with me. Of course, both of us know very well that it's impossible for me to ask for 40%, and it's impossible for him to give 40%, but I proposed
This request is to give the other party a space to bargain, and it also tells him that my request will not be too low. For both of us, there is no problem of losing money, it is just a problem of making more or less."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng looked at Nunnally with a smile.
"You may think this thing is not valuable, but you should know what these things can bring to farmers. These are valuable, and very valuable. You know, what we sell is not raw materials, but what can truly change
Things in this world...you said if you made an artifact, how much would you sell it for?"
"Of course it's very valuable..."
Nunnally is just naive, not really a fool. Alchemists have also made pioneering achievements in creating artifacts, which is why they can compete with mages. And the artifacts created by alchemists are worth a thousand dollars.
of.
But...are there any artifacts made of slime leather?
"Artifacts are for use, not for sacrifice. You have to know that these things can not only improve the lives of countless people, but also enable people who cannot afford to eat to eat... This can't even be made with artifacts.
arrive."
"That's it, I understand."
Under Fang Zheng's guidance, Nunnally nodded obediently. Although she didn't quite understand it, she knew that her idea was completely wrong.
Looking at Nunnally's reaction, Fang Zheng sighed in his heart. In order to keep his identity secret, he did not sign any agreement with Nunnally, because the signing of agreements in the main world requires star pattern authentication, and once he authenticates himself
It will inevitably be exposed. So for now, this alchemy workshop still belongs to Nunnally, which means that only she has the final right to sign the agreement.
Originally, Fang Zheng felt that Nunnally had a future if she could be trained, but now it seems that she is more like a full-time researcher and is not good at this kind of external communication and negotiation. If Fang Zheng is not here, if Nunally is doing research alone
After leaving this greenhouse, I'm afraid Fleiss could deceive her with five hundred gold coins and make Nunnally work for him willingly.
Fang Zheng actually wanted to find someone who would be responsible for negotiations. The girl named Kuria gave him a good feeling. She was generous and full of self-confidence, and her family situation was also good. However, she was currently working in the Alchemist Association.
Fang Zheng didn't know if he could dig her over...but it was always right to try.
Kuria's reaction was beyond Fang Zheng's expectation. After Fang Zheng extended his invitation to her, Kuria readily agreed to Fang Zheng. She also knew Nunnally's character very well, and after hearing Fang Zheng say that her friend almost
After being deceived into selling greenhouses and slime fertilizer technology for several thousand gold coins, Kuria was almost in a cold sweat. As a staff member of the Alchemist Association, she knew the secrets of an alchemical invention better than anyone else.
Value, if Nunnally really sold these things for a few thousand gold coins, it would be better to leave them to their association for internal adjustment.
Because of this, Kuria chose to join without hesitation. Although she felt that Fang Zheng was not a bad person, she was always worried that her friend would be deceived. Now that she had the opportunity to keep an eye on him, Kuria was sure
Won't let it go.
The most important thing is that she can work with Fang Zheng, and just seeing the handsome guy every day is enough to make up for Kuria's small loss.
During this time, Fangzheng also took Kuria to receive representatives from various chambers of commerce who came to the workshop to discuss business. Freis was smart, and the others were not fools. Fangzheng had no intention of expanding production, and he just took these things at first glance
To prove the effectiveness of technology, it is naturally very important for them to purchase these two technologies.
The result was similar to what Founder had expected. The more powerful first-tier chambers of commerce had little interest in Founder's proposal, and even used their influence to try to pressure Founder to lower prices. The second-tier chambers of commerce, like Fleiss,
The Chamber of Commerce wants to give it a try, but they are either worried that they cannot resist the pressure of the first-tier "transnational chambers of commerce", or they feel that Founder's requirements are too high and plan to bargain further.
But no matter what, there are naturally more and more people who are eager to obtain these two alchemy technologies.
