Chapter 919 Well Prepared
The caller was a steel mill owner. This was not the first time. In the past month, the owners of the other six steel mills had always called to arrange dinner.
There is no impenetrable wall. They probably knew what was going on and showed goodwill to Zhang Xiaobai in the hope of getting benefits in the next negotiation.
Zhang Xiaobai answered the phone and, as expected, it was another dinner invitation.
"Mr. Zhang, you are on vacation today. You should be free at noon, right?" the other party said.
Zhang Xiaobai said, "Mr. Wang, I'm really sorry. I have an appointment at noon!"
"This... Mr. Zhang, please give us a chance!" the other party said.
Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, I am not free at noon, but I am free in the evening!"
"Okay, okay! Then it's settled. See you at the Banquet Hall in the evening!"
As if afraid that Zhang Xiaobai would go back on his word, the other party hung up the phone after saying that.
Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said, "If it goes as expected, we will have good cigarettes and good wine tonight!"
Hu Liang asked, "Brother Bai, are you really going?"
Once he goes, with Zhang Xiaobai's temper, he probably can't resist those people's entanglement, and he will agree to it out of weakness. What will he say when negotiating with Lislo!
The price given by Lislo is lower than that of the six steel mills. If the ten steel mills in Tangcheng purchase goods together, it seems difficult to negotiate.
Zhang Xiaobai said, "In fact, I wanted to bring them with me at the beginning, but they didn't believe me. It doesn't matter. Lislo is easy to deal with. I don't believe that Xiao Renyi has the heart to give up such a big market!"
"But the reason I agreed to them today is to ask them to do something big for me!"
...
...
In the evening, Zhang Xiaobai went to the banquet alone.
It was surprising that all six steel mills were there, which showed that they had already discussed it!
Zhang Xiaobai was supported to the main seat like a star.
The bosses personally poured tea and cigarettes, and showed flattering smiles on their faces.
Zhang Xiaobai was not polite either, and he just smoked and drank water to deal with it.
After the greetings, Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said, "Brothers, what's the matter? Such a big table!"
The scale of this banquet was quite high. It was not the best one Zhang Xiaobai had ever eaten, but it was definitely the most expensive one.
One person sighed and said, "Boss Zhang, I want to get close to you. How about calling you brother?"
Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said, "Brother Wang, we are all family, why are you being polite to me?"
The man said, "Brother! I don't mean anything else. The six of us brothers apologize to you."
Zhang Xiaobai frowned and said, "Brothers! How can you say that? You can't do that!"
The man raised the glass and said very solemnly, "Let's not talk about anything else. The six of us brothers will drink a glass as punishment!"
The six people raised their glasses together and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, which was very generous.
Zhang Xiaobai was stunned and thought that you guys are really willing to take risks. He raised the glass for show, but was stopped by another boss next to him.
"Brother Xiaobai, we are drinking a penalty drink, you can't join us!"
Zhang Xiaobai put down his glass honestly, in fact, he didn't want to drink at all.
After drinking, Zhang Xiaobai said: "Brothers, don't let me be confused again?"
One person said: "Brother, we are a group of ungrateful people. You are kind-hearted and considerate of us, but we doubt you. Sorry!"
Then the six people apologized in unison!
Zhang Xiaobai still looked puzzled.
Another person said: "Brother, it's about the last time with the Australian mine. You suggested that ten steel mills purchase goods together, but we didn't agree. It chilled your heart!"
Zhang Xiaobai pretended to be enlightened and said: "That matter, I forgot it a long time ago!"
Someone suggested that they toast Zhang Xiaobai together, and everyone raised their glasses and drank together.
Zhang Xiaobai guessed right, there is no wall that is impenetrable.
They really don't know the price that the Australian mine gave to the four steel mills, but they know one thing, the cunning Zhang Ruihua and the fourth person actually cooperated with Dengfeng and Dingran.
It was too late to learn the news. The price had already been negotiated. They immediately regretted it and were very dissatisfied with Zhang Ruihua and the fourth person.
At the dinner table, you two didn't speak, but you secretly made a move, which obviously fooled the six steel mills.
Now that they cooperate so well, the bosses of the six steel mills speculated that their Australian ore prices must be cheaper than their own.
The boss surnamed Wang said: "Brother, the six of us really regret it. Can you give us a chance to correct it?"
Zhang Xiaobai said: "Brother Wang, don't say that. I am always willing to advance and retreat together with the people of Tangcheng!"
Boss Wang slapped the table and said, "Cheers to our brothers!"
In Tangcheng, you must drink when talking about things, as if you can only show your sincerity if you drink too much.
Another drink.
Boss Wang tentatively said: "Brother, we are about to bargain with the Australian mine. Can you help the brothers?"
Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said: "Not to pull the brothers, but let the ten of us deal with Lislo together!"
This is open and frank, and drink again!
Boss Wang whispered, "Brother Xiaobai, rest assured, we will do it. Once it is done, you will definitely be involved!"
Why should they help you?
Of course they have a purpose!
As soon as they saw that there was hope, they offered benefits.
Who would have thought that Zhang Xiaobai would get anxious and said angrily, "Brothers! You are not treating us as family if you say this!"
Looking at Zhang Xiaobai's expression, the six people were speechless, wondering why he was angry? Did he think the benefits were not enough? The key point is that we haven't talked much yet?
Zhang Xiaobai continued, "I really don't mean anything else. I'll make it clear today. If anyone mentions a bribe again, I'll be angry with him!"
Several people smiled awkwardly, some of them were noncommittal, mainly because they didn't know whether what he said was true or false.
Zhang Xiaobai said again, "But, I have something to ask you, brothers!"
Hearing this, the six people were very excited, as long as they had a request.
Boss Wang said, "Brothers! Just tell me if you have anything to ask. As long as we can do it, we will do it!"
Others echoed enthusiastically.
Zhang Xiaobai scratched his head, as if he was a little embarrassed, and said, "Brothers, to be honest, I'm actually still an official fan. Now that I have money, I still want some reputation and prestige!"
The six people were very puzzled. What exactly did he want? Being an official wouldn't help!
Zhang Xiaobai was silent for a moment, and continued, "I have joined the Tangcheng Chamber of Commerce, but I don't want to be just a member..."
No need to say more, everyone understood.
Boss Wang assured: "Isn't that the case? It's easy! Not only do we support our brothers, but our friends and partners will also support our brothers!"
Zhang Xiaobai raised his glass and said seriously: "I'll drink first to show my respect!"
A meal, everyone got what they needed, and it ended successfully!
Zhang Xiaobai was right again, the six bosses really prepared gifts, good cigarettes, good wine and some high-end products.
This time Hu Liang drove a pickup truck to pick up Zhang Xiaobai, pulling a whole car.
Afterwards, the six bosses realized that they had prepared it long ago after watching the pickup truck leave!
I'm very glad that I gave the gift!
Otherwise it would be embarrassing!
