Although Zhou Yidong had the upper hand in terms of language, it was impossible for Gilbert to give up some of his interests.

Foreigners do not play the emotional card, and interests are paramount.

Asking them to pay more money is tantamount to stabbing them. How can they agree?

Although they bluntly rejected him, Zhou Yidong was not discouraged. Instead, he smiled wisely and said: "As far as I know, local protectionism in Mao Island is very active. You asked our company to pay such a high price. And it seems unreasonable that you are unwilling to bear the shipping fee, right?"

"You have all taken away the profits. What profit does our Fengze Company have?"

"This is not something we should consider." Gilbert snorted coldly, and Luo Shan and others didn't look good. The secret channel was broken, and they hoped that the other party didn't understand local policies well, otherwise they would lose a bargaining chip. If so, it would be really difficult to move forward.

There is a law in the world called Murphy's Law: If you are worried about something happening, then it is more likely to happen.

How could Zhou Yidong, who had stayed in Mauritius for five years, not understand local policies?

Whether in large shopping malls or major Chinese supermarkets, clothes from China are the most popular, and the prices are super low.

Chinese products are very popular on Mauritius, and the Mauritius government is actively developing tourism projects to turn the entire Mauritius into a honeymoon destination. Many Mauritius people have also set their sights here. At the same time, there are also some policy changes. change.

Gilbert wanted to be the middleman because he saw clearly the huge profits, and at the same time he wanted to keep the price as low as possible. Greed was based on the ignorance of the other party.

But, could the Chinese boy in front of me, who spoke fluent Creole, be ignorant?

"Mauritius strongly supports local enterprises. Many projects are tax-free or low-tax, which is destined to make huge profits in the clothing industry. For example, the clothes you want, as far as I know, are sold on Mauritius for Between 350 cents and 500 cents, but you want to purchase goods at a price of 150 cents. Excluding the low tariff, you have to earn at least 180 to 330 cents..."

Boom, when the three Gilberts heard this, their expressions suddenly changed, and they looked at Zhou Yidong as if they were seeing ghosts.

In China, in this era of 2006, many people did not know that there was such a pearl in the Indian Ocean. People who like to travel may know about the Maldives, but very few people know about Mauritius.

In 1879, Mark Twain said something similar to "There is Heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below" in his long travelogue "Equatorial Odyssey": God first created Mauritius, and then created Heaven according to Mauritius.

In the 1980s and 1990s, Mao Island was the back garden of Europeans. More than 90% of the people who came to Mao Island for summer vacation were from European countries, but there were very few Chinese.

Until the 21st century, European tourists had a new favorite, and the sugar cane fields were also ruined by French descendants. In order to generate revenue, the government had to look overseas, and the Chinese who gradually became richer became First choice.

However, over the years, the Maldives has been the first choice for Chinese people to travel abroad, while few people pay attention to Mao Island, let alone anyone who understands Mao Island’s tax-free and low-tax policies.

That's why Gilbert and the other three were so shocked.

Zhou Yidong was very satisfied with their expressions. This was the effect he wanted. However, he had to add a fire. If the fire was not burning vigorously, they would not give up.

"I also know that you have found several textile factories before, but their quality cannot satisfy you, right? In Africa, Mauritius is the most developed country per capita and a country that pays great attention to quality. You can't buy fakes. Is it to deal with your customers? And our Fengze Company's products are famous throughout the Yangtze River Delta. You can go out and find out. We are not afraid of fire..."

"Even if you are right, we really can't increase the price because we are a middleman, and a lot of the 180 profit has to be diverted to retail stores."

Gilbert was very tough-talking. Even though he was convinced by Zhou Yidong, he was still unwilling to raise the price. Policies and other things need to be understood in advance, but understanding is one thing. This is not your bargaining chip.

"Really?" Zhou Yidong glanced at the other party with a half-smile, this smile was somewhat mysterious.

The taciturn Luo Shan who was standing next to him suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this Chinese boy knew something else?

Although Zheng Ziqi didn't understand what they were talking about, she knew from the looks on Gilbert's and the other three's faces that Zhou Yidong, a young boy, now had the upper hand.

The corners of her beautiful mouth were slightly curved in a nice way, and she just stood aside watching the show, but her thoughts gradually flew away.

"Mr. Gilbert, our Fengze company is very sincere in cooperating with you, otherwise we would not bring you to visit our factory. Of course, we are bound to win the 80 million order you mentioned before. Yes, I hope you can give us a chance to become your supplier..."

For some reason, Gilbert was a little confused and couldn't understand Zhou Yidong's soft words. Luo Shan and Awanish were also feeling uncomfortable, always feeling that the other party was holding back their energy and preparing to trick them.

The three of them were silent for a moment and looked at each other. Then Gilbert said willingly: "In view of your efforts to promote our cooperation and for the sake of our friendship, I decided to increase the price by five yuan. Mr. Zhou, this is a big deal for us." gave in."

"........."

Five cents is equivalent to one soft girl coin. Doesn't this mean that he just wasted his saliva?

In the next half hour, Zhou Yidong started negotiations again, engaging in a verbal battle with the other party, which could be described as a battle of wits and courage. In a word, the contract must be signed according to Zheng Ziqi's quotation, otherwise the transaction cannot be carried out and he cannot deliver the goods, so he will not get the cost price.

According to the latter's quotation, it is 57% higher than the cost price. In other words, if Gilbert agrees to this price, the profit they will earn will be less than half of what it was before. This is equivalent to It was as painful as cutting flesh into his heart.

Seeing the deadlock coming again, Zhou Yidong felt a little anxious. If the fire was not enough, he might really make a big move.

The other party has already raised the price to 27% of the cost price, which is still a long way from 57%. This is still far from the price he expected. Unfortunately, the other party insists that there will be no further increase. price.
