Chapter 299 High-end Business War [5600 words, please order in full]

This is a private room with almost the same layout as the one where Yuan Wenbo and his friends had dinner just now.

There was a circle around the dinner table.

The food has just been served.

It was mainly Lu Yang and Mou Qizhong who were chatting and talking, while everyone else was just quietly listening.

As for the content of the conversation, it was also quite interesting.

They actually brought up the cooperation that they had just discussed at the factory and discussed it again at the dinner table, except that they exaggerated it a little and omitted some crucial information.

Chatting and chatting.

Suddenly, they both fell silent at the same time.

The reason was that the muscular bodyguard in a black suit standing at the door shook his head slightly towards Mou Qizhong.

This is to indicate that the person eavesdropping outside the door has left.

Mou Qizhong can see it.

Lu Yang could see it too.

So they both quieted down at the same time, then picked up the water glasses on the table at the same time, took a sip of water to quench their thirst first.

Put down the water glass.

Mou Qizhong was a little worried and asked, "Brother Lu, is this the solution?"

He pointed outside the door.

According to Brother Lu, the mayor's nephew who was at odds with Brother Lu would definitely send someone to eavesdrop on their conversation. So just now he specially called a bodyguard to guard the door and eavesdrop on the movements of the people outside.

Don't even say it.

Brother Lu actually guessed this correctly.

There was indeed someone outside the door, but whether he was a thief sent by someone to eavesdrop on their conversation remained to be answered.

only……

When did business wars become so bad? Is the mayor's nephew so unskilled? Sending a waiter to eavesdrop on intelligence, an elite returnee, this is, can't be the case?

Lu Yang shook his head: "Brother Mou, you don't have to think too highly of him. Sea turtles need to be raised in seawater. When they return to China, in the freshwater environment of China, they may not be able to adapt to their foreign rules.

And it’s a business war.

We can just watch the seemingly high-end business wars on TV produced in Hong Kong and Taiwan. In real business wars, the property of the opponent's company is destroyed, improper means are used, insults, rumors are spread, direct physical conflicts, the seizure of official seals and business licenses, illegal means, poisoning, and tampering with contracts are used..."

Mou Qizhong was dumbfounded.

Lu Yang added one last sentence: "Eavesdropping is just one of the most common and effective ways to defeat an opponent among these simple means. If Brother Mou doesn't believe it, how about we make a bet?"

Mou Qizhong nodded subconsciously.

But he reacted quickly.

He quickly shook his head: "No, no, no, I don't want to gamble. I won't gamble anymore."

As he said this, he poured himself a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.

Let's calm down first.

This Brother Lu is incredible. What he said is totally unheard of and is completely different from what I understand as business war. Although it seems a bit despicable, it seems to make sense. It is completely different from the methods used by those capital tycoons in the Hong Kong and Taiwan movies I have watched. I don’t know who to listen to.

He admits.

I have learned a lot of business methods from Hong Kong and Taiwan movies in these years. Moreover, I have been intentionally or unintentionally imitating the actions of the capital tycoons in Hong Kong and Taiwan movies, including buying luxury cars and building luxury houses to package myself.

But he had to admit it.

Over the years, I have done some despicable things, including using despicable means to kill some competitors.

But since I became rich, I have been trying my best to avoid using these despicable means, and I have begun to disdain using them. I have started to imitate the Hong Kong and Taiwan capital tycoons in the movies.

Could it be that my previous thoughts were all wrong?
That's it.

Just take a look and you’ll know after a while.

At this moment, he was a little self-doubtful at the conscious level, but after all, he was Mou Qizhong, the first generation richest man in China after the reform and opening up.

He quickly completed his self-adjustment.

Do you want high-end business war?

want.

This is for packaging yourself.

Do you want a low-end and simple business war?

Also, yes.

But it’s best to just do it and not say it, so that everyone doesn’t know about it.

Lu Yang suddenly said mysteriously: "Here I come."

It turned out to be footsteps coming from the corridor.

"Dong dong dong..."

Sure enough, not long after he finished speaking, someone knocked on the door of the private room from outside.

Boss, do you want to open it?
The muscular bodyguard in a black suit who was guarding the door of the private room gave his boss Mou Qizhong a questioning look.

Mou Qizhong looked at Lu Yang.

Lu Yang spread out his hands: Open it, if you don’t open it, how will you know the answer?

Mou Qizhong then said to his bodyguard: "Open the door and let the guest in."

The bodyguard opened the door in response.

Then, Yuan Xuebao was seen holding a wine glass in one hand and a bottle of Moutai in the other, with a group of tall waitresses following behind him, each holding a variety of delicious dishes.

"Boss Lu, what a coincidence, you are eating here too."

As soon as he came in, he opened his arms.

"I just talked to my uncle on the phone. He told me to learn from you, Boss Lu, and learn from your experience in the clothing industry. He said that you are a senior in this industry, and I am a junior in this industry.

Boss Lu, you shouldn't disobey my uncle, right?"

As expected, the second generation has not changed his habits. As soon as he came up, he used his uncle to put pressure on Lu Yang.

Lu Yang ignored him and said with a disdainful smile: "Oh? I haven't heard of this. How about I make a phone call and ask Deputy Mayor Xu?"

Yuan Xuebao's face changed.

But he immediately recovered as he was not a novice in the business world. Besides, he worked as a salesperson at Panasonic Electronics for several years when he was studying abroad. He had heard all kinds of lies and rumors.

He immediately pretended nothing had happened and said casually, "Hey, there's no need to call my uncle for such a small matter. Come on, I have a bottle of good wine here, this is 30-year-old Maotai Maotai. Don't be polite, let's have a taste together."

After saying that, without even looking at Lu Yang's expression, he signaled with his eyes, and the row of beautiful waitresses behind him came forward and placed all kinds of delicacies in their hands on the table, and then retreated. He himself walked around the table and poured wine for the people at the table himself.

This is a very good thing, and it can be put down easily.

Not like some second generation ones.

Some second-generation people have their eyes on their nostrils and cannot see the people in front of them. Asking them to condescend to pour wine for people who they think are of lower status than them would make them feel more uncomfortable than killing them.

But even so.

Lu Yang didn't treat Yuan Xuebao well either: "Boss Yuan, could you please leave? We are talking about serious matters, and you are not welcome now, OK?"

Yuan Xuebao stopped pouring the wine.

The interview was a bit dark.

But immediately, he laughed at himself, bypassed Lu Yang, and went straight to pour wine for Mou Qizhong, whose identity he had recognized.

"Boss Mou, let me introduce myself first. My name is Yuan Xuebao. I just returned from studying in Japan two years ago. Currently, I am running a shoe factory with my friends, and a clothing factory is in the planning stage."

"Oh, by the way, Vice Mayor Xu is my uncle."

At this point, he looked at Lu Yang provocatively, and then said to Mou Qizhong: "Boss Mou, you may not know that Deputy Mayor Xu is my uncle, and I once worked for Panasonic Electronics, a Fortune 500 company. I returned to China to develop because I have the confidence to use the advanced experience learned abroad to create our own Fortune 500 company in China."

I have to say, people who have studied abroad are different when it comes to bragging. They always boast about being in the Fortune 500 and they are very good at it.

But who here has never boasted?
Lu Yang blew past.

Mou Qizhong also blew it.

But when they brag, they will never choose this time, this juncture: Why don't you get to the point? Lu Yang really admires this kid.

You seem to be addicted to bragging. If you don't tell me the purpose of your visit, aren't you afraid that I will get up and chase you away?
Really, he has been enduring for a long time.

After a long chatter, Yuan Xuebao finally got to the point after spitting out a lot of saliva: "Boss Mou, you are in the business of trade. If you need any cooperation, just come to me. I will give you a price that will satisfy you."

As he said this, he patted his chest.

Then, he did not forget to criticize Lu Yang and said, "Boss Mou, you may not understand. Some people recruit anyone, including those with missing limbs, deaf and blind people. You can imagine the quality of the products they make. Our factory only recruits young and strong adults. There is no age limit and no illness. The first thing we guarantee is quality. If you, Boss Mou, insist on choosing a partner, hehe."

This is almost equivalent to jumping up and slapping someone in the face.

It would be abnormal if Lu Yang could still endure it.

So he decisively slammed the table and stood up fiercely: "Yuan Xuebo, what do you want to do?"

A hand pointed at the open door: "Get out, you are not welcome now."

"Hey, Boss Lu, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Yuan Xuebao said happily: "Isn't it right?"

The uglier Lu Yang's face looked, the more excited he became.

"That's fine."

Then, he pretended to be innocent, spread his hands and said, "Since I am not welcome here, I will leave."

After saying his apology, he bowed slightly to Mou Qizhong, who had not expressed his feelings yet, and pushed the poured wine glass in front of Mou Qizhong. He then drank the glass of wine next to him first.

Put down the wine glass.

"Farewell."

He turned around decisively, took firm steps, and started walking towards the door.

Lu Yang thought to himself: I am Shudao Mountain, 1, 2, 3.

"Wait a minute."

Mou Qizhong spoke.

He even had time to raise his eyebrows at Lu Yang: See, I told you this kid is really good at acting. We don't need to be polite to him. He will dig a hole, jump in, and bury himself.

Cleared his throat.

Mou Qizhong picked up the wine glass and said, "Since you are here, you should sit down and have a drink."

Yuan Xuebao was delighted.

"Haha, I guessed right. Next, Mr. Lu, just wait and see. I have everything you have, and I also have everything you don't have. Let's ride the donkey and watch the opera. This deal may not be yours."

Lu Yang said angrily, "Boss Mou, don't forget that what we are discussing today is a multi-million dollar deal. It's not convenient for outsiders to listen, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Mou Qizhong's face changed.

Yuan Xuebao felt even happier.

"Okay, Mr. Lu, you said something you shouldn't have said. Country people are country people. They got to where they are today because of some shit luck. Now that you have come to a real big scene, you are a little too petty. He is the big boss and can keep anyone he wants. Do you think he can make the decision for him?"

Sure enough, Mou Qizhong had already put the wine glass in his hand heavily on the table: "Boss Lu, do I need you to teach me how to do things?"

Lu Yang's expression changed drastically: "No, Brother Mou, please listen to my explanation..."

"okay."

Mou Qizhong just eased up a little: "I just heard from this young man that Deputy Mayor Xu is his uncle. I have also dealt with this Deputy Mayor Xu. Xiao Lu, didn't you say that you have a good relationship with him?"

Lu Yang was speechless.

Seeing him like this, Mou Qizhong didn't want to embarrass him any further: "Since you are all juniors of Deputy Mayor Xu, you are a family. Why don't you sit down and have a chat together?"

"Xiao Yuan, you sit down too, come sit next to me."

As he said this, he gave a look and the assistant next to him immediately stood up.

"By the way, what did you just say?"

You run a shoe factory and a clothing factory, right?"

What a coincidence, I just have this need.”

It was really difficult for Mou Qizhong. He endured for a long time before he finally seemed to be showing his true colors.

But Yuan Xuebao had already sat down and sat next to him.

"Okay, it's my honor to do business with you, Boss Mou."

"You're welcome, you're welcome. It's my honor to do business with you, Xiao Yuan. Well, may I ask, what's the largest order you can take?"

"Well, we are a formal company. We will accept any order as big as possible. Don't worry, Boss Mou, the quality here is definitely top-notch."

"That's good, that's good. Let's not worry about the quality for now. I just want to ask, can you accept credit?"

"Credit? That's not a good idea, right? But it's not impossible."

"We can negotiate, right? That's good. Let me put it this way. My reputation is well known throughout the country. There is no precedent for paying a deposit before getting goods anywhere. Ask Xiao Lu across from you. We have millions of orders, but we have to wait until we get the goods first and then distribute them before paying. So if you want to do business with me, Xiao Yuan, you have to think carefully."

"Yes, yes, I will definitely consider it carefully."

Lu Yang seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Seeing that the two of them were getting more and more interested in each other's conversation, he finally couldn't help but stand up and said, "Boss Mou, we have agreed that all of your orders will be handed over to us. Now we only have the final contract to sign. Do you want to go back on your word?"

Mou Qizhong looked embarrassed: "It seems so."

He looked at his assistant next to him and said, "Is this true? Take out the contract and let us have a look. If the contract is really ready, then forget it."

Then he apologized to Yuan Xuebao next to him, "Look at my memory, Xiao Yuan. You won't get the clothing order this way. Don't you have a shoe factory? Can your factory handle an order for 100 million labor protection shoes? But we have a deal. I won't pay first. If you have the ability, take it. Of course, I won't treat you unfairly. I, Mou Qizhong, always stick by my friends. If you are kind enough, I will definitely be kind too. 20% higher than the market price, can you do it?"

Yuan Xuebao's breathing was rapid and unsteady. He was a little hesitant before, but when he heard that the price was 20% higher than the market price, he gritted his teeth and said, "100 million is fine, take the goods first and pay later. I trust your character, Boss Mou."

Mou Qizhong laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "Well, it is true that heroes emerge young and are courageous."

The assistant here rummaged through the briefcase and surprisingly, he actually found a contract document.

"Found it, boss. Here is the contract. It's a 500 million order. All of it must be winter clothes that fit the height of foreigners and must be delivered within 8 months. If Boss Lu breaches the contract, he will need to pay us a penalty of 100 million. If he can deliver on time, we will need to purchase this batch of winter clothes at a price 20% higher than the market price. The deposit will be zero, but the balance will need to be paid within one year after delivery. Otherwise, your Benz and your villa will need to be mortgaged to Boss Lu."

Mou Qizhong took the contract casually and said, "This is all quite reasonable. After all, we haven't paid a deposit. If we don't have some collateral, Mr. Lu will be worried. Okay, put the contract away first. There's no rush now. It won't be too late to sign it after dinner."

There was only a pause of a few seconds between the handing over and receiving. During these few seconds, Yuan Xuebao was able to clearly see some prominent fonts on the contract, especially the 500 million, which almost blinded his eyes.

This is an order worth 500 million!
If you subscribe at a 20% premium, plus the existing net profit, wouldn't it be a - split?

No, how can a kid named Lu earn more than 200 million from just one order?

And I can only sign an order for a mere 100 million?

Also, how come this guy has collateral but I don’t?
He knew that the Hutouben was the most luxurious of all cars, a car that only the real big bosses could afford.

It is said that after completing a set of formal procedures, the starting price of a car is at least 200 million.

Doesn't that mean Mr. Lu can earn this 20% premium without taking any risk at all?
This is not fair!
"Wait, Boss Mou, a 500 million order is not a small amount. I doubt that Boss Lu has the ability to complete it within 8 months. If Boss Mou trusts me, why not split the 500 million order and let Boss Lu and I complete it together? Wouldn't you feel more assured, Boss Mou?"

He knew that it would be impossible to take all of it, and he didn't have the ability to eat so much, but taking half of it should be okay, right?
Mou Qizhong hesitated and said, "But I have already promised Xiao Lu. I value my reputation the most..."

Yuan Xuebao stood up suddenly and raised his voice, "Boss Mou, you are wrong. This is not a breach of contract. This is risk sharing. If you don't believe me, we can visit Boss Lu's factory. After you go there, you will know that Boss Lu is absolutely not capable of completing a 500 million order by himself within eight months."

Lu Yang also got anxious and stood up: "Yuan Xuebao, what do you mean by that? I can't do it, can you? And even if I agree to you sharing the cost, who will own this collateral?"

Yuan Xuebao said proudly: "That depends on who Boss Mou trusts more."

Mou Qizhong looked left and right, thought for a while, and then finally made a decision.

"Well, don't argue anymore. Let's all take a step back. Boss Lu, you can give 200 million orders to Boss Yuan. As for the collateral, I have a villa that is also worth more than 100 million. I will mortgage it to you."

"Boss Yuan, it's not impossible for you to use my Tiger Head Benz, but the 100 million labor protection shoe order and the 200 million winter clothing order are not enough. So, I will add another 100 million labor protection shoe order, for a total of 400 million orders. If you agree, we can sign the contract immediately, and I will use the Tiger Head Benz as collateral for you."

Lu Yang didn't say anything.

I was so angry that I couldn't speak.

Yuan Xuebao nodded happily and said, "That's great. Don't worry, Boss Mou. I will not touch your car. I will keep it in good condition and do regular maintenance on it. When you want to drive it, just drive it."

It’s a big Benz, worth 200 million, and I got it just like that.

Moreover, this batch of orders has a 20% premium. According to the current market conditions, an order of 400 million can earn at least 180 million.

8 months and 180 million, my God, I have to do this deal even if I have to grit my teeth.

He has a way to get a loan from the bank with almost no difficulty and without any pressure. Unlike Lu Yang, he has to worry about raising funds. The only thing he needs to worry about is that Mou Qizhong will run away. Now that others have agreed to mortgage the Hutouben, there is nothing wrong. He can rest assured to earn this order with a net profit of 180 million.

After all, even the man named Lu is not afraid, so what is he afraid of?
