[Black Basket] Love Sound

With a temporary plan in mind, the panic and uneasiness will disappear.

Saya didn't wait for a long time, and Nikaido brought back what she asked for.

The people in the office didn't understand what she was going to do with that kind of thing, and they only prayed that the young lady of Hashimoto's family would not help and add to the chaos.

And Nikaido, who finished his errands, was waiting for the next order. Who knows, the next task Saya gave him was to tidy up his clothes. The others went to prepare the meeting room and contract materials, and she went to the tea room to make tea. .

Bubble tea?

Everyone is still confused about Sha Ye's actions. In their eyes, pouring tea and water has always been the job of dispatchers, not to mention that regular employees seldom do it themselves. strangeness.Isn't it just to entertain guests from South America?Go and make the high-grade coffee powder for the company's hospitality, and then serve it at the meeting?Why bother to come up with special tricks to make guests happy?

The staff all thought that Saya's move was completely unnecessary, but she still acted according to the plan she had drawn up.

While other people were busy in the conference room, she walked into the tea room with tea and started to boil water to make tea.When she was young, her mother taught her not to underestimate the little things around her. If she wants to get out of social work in the future, she must start to hone herself by completing small things.

And making tea is also a small part of the trivial matter.Perhaps, others think that this is a simple job that can be done casually, but for her who studied in the kiosk since she was a child, doing this job with a coping attitude is to be helpful to the guests who come from afar. It's almost slow, so no matter how ugly others say, she still follows her mother's teaching and completes this little thing with heart.

After a long time, when the boiling water boiled and was poured into a special teapot, the transparent water gradually turned into a beautiful amber color, and a faint fragrance wafted out.It does not have the strong aroma of coffee and the mellowness of fine wine, but it has special effects that the former does not have.Rather than being put in a cabinet by the president as an exhibit, it can really be used to entertain distinguished guests.

Now that the necessary auxiliary items are ready, the next step is to see if luck is against her.

Regarding the South American agents who came to Japan to negotiate this time, she didn't have much information, and she couldn't get too much useful information from the staff who were familiar with the business.Therefore, she can only act on instinct and bet on her own luck, hoping that she can rely on her impromptu performance to negotiate the deal.

Be calm, she must be calm, she must not be stage fright and flustered, just like when working in the kiosk in her hometown, she must calm her mind and try to do her best work.

Taking a deep breath, Saya walked out of the tea room with a tray and walked towards the meeting room.

On the way, many employees looked at her with strange eyes, expecting, and waiting for a good show.Especially the male staff, they all think that the people involved in such large-scale contract cases are generally experienced elites.Even if the future rulers have support staff around them, they are not optimistic about the ability of women.

Because in this highly competitive workplace, there are many men who can really climb up the ladder with their own abilities, but very few women.Therefore, if she wants to take the first step in her career, she must overcome the difficulties she encountered in front of her.

Secretly determined her goal in her heart, Saya came to the door of the meeting room with tea, reached out and turned the doorknob, and faced her trial directly face to face.

However, what caught her eyes for the first time was not the staff who had already been seated, but only two old men playing chess against a chessboard in the empty conference room. What surprised her even more was that the grandfather who had originally returned to Kyoto to write a book actually Will appear here, after sensing her entering the room, he didn't look at her, but just gestured to her, asking her to keep quiet for the time being and not to make any noise.

After receiving her grandfather's hint, Saya would also slow down her pace with satisfaction. She walked into the room gently, put the tray in her hand next to the chessboard, and sat on the sofa not far away, waiting quietly for the two of them to play. This game of chess is over.

"Hehe, old friend, I won. This time I have the final say. You can't interrupt."

The old foreigner with gray temples smiled and moved the pieces on the chessboard to win his own victory.

"No problem, I always keep my word and I will never interrupt later."

After a game of chess was over, Old Belly Snake was obviously a little bit unsatisfied, but when he thought that there were still important things to be done today, he gave up the victory and defeat with his old friends and gave time to his granddaughter.

"Saya, you can come over and do your business."

Without exhortations, let alone additional reminders, Old Belly Snake just called his granddaughter over in a flat tone, without feeling a trace of seriousness in his words.

Talk about a contract here?

Sha Ye was stunned, and it took a long while to understand what Grandpa meant.She got up and walked to the seat beside him and sat down. The first thing she picked up was not the contract information placed next to the chess table, but a special teapot filled with tea, and put a straw into the pot, and handed them to the opposite Foreign elderly.

"Welcome, this guest from afar, please have tea first."

"Oh, it's really rare. I am far away from my hometown, and I can drink pure yerba mate tea in a foreign country, and the tea utensils are still the type I like. Little girl, don't you just spend your time trying to please me just for the sake of the contract? Bar?"

Foreign old people are very satisfied with the tea on their hands. In South America, people have a lot of meat on their tables, and yerba mate is a kind of herb used by local people to neutralize the fat of meat and keep their bodies strong. Drinks for home and hospitality.He thought that if he came to Japan on this business trip, he would not be able to drink tea from his hometown. Unexpectedly, he was surprised when he came to discuss business this time. Both the tea leaves and tea utensils were the same as those used at home. The little girl at a friend's house even prepared condensed milk and honey for him to choose from, which is really considerate.

"You can say yes, or you can say no." Saya replied very honestly.

"Oh? I really want to hear your explanation." Leaving aside the contract, the foreign old man was aroused by the young man in front of him, so he chatted with her with great interest.

"You are my grandfather's friend and today's distinguished guest. It is our duty as landlords to present the best things to greet the guests. As for the contract, I did think of it on the spur of the moment. With the wisdom of your husband, you will definitely not sign the document easily because of this trivial matter."

"Very well, Miss Saya, I like your honesty." The foreigner put down the teapot in his hand and introduced himself to Saya: "My name is Davis Annable, and I am your grandfather's friend in Argentina. As he said, you are very talented, today, let me see your ability, if you can satisfy me, this business deal will be considered."

"Since Mr. Annable thinks the time is right, let's start now. This is the product sample information of Hashimoto Trading Company. Please read it first."

Taking out the materials prepared early in the morning, Saya wanted to let the other party know about Hashimoto Trading Company's hot-selling product catalog in recent years before signing the contract.

Export trade and foreign investment have always been the main sources of profit for Hashimoto Trading Co., through cooperation with large companies from all over the world, the Hashimoto family has not been affected by the domestic economic downturn, and relied on foreign investment to survive the difficult period.And this South American cooperation case is an old customer who has been cooperating for many years. Due to the impact of the international environment, the demand in South America has also decreased compared with previous years. Therefore, it is no wonder that the Hashimoto business community attaches great importance to this cooperation case. In case of losing old customers who have patronized for many years, it is a great loss.

"This year's information is thicker than last year's, old friend, your granddaughter is very careful."

Looking at the stack of information documents compiled in Spanish in his hand, Davis did not dislike the length and cumbersome content of the document, but instead praised Saya for his careful work.

After all, doing international export trade is not just playing games. You must first confirm whether the samples of the goods are satisfactory before you can actually place an order.And Shaye prepared a detailed catalog of products, and he also took out sample pictures and usage videos on his laptop, which allowed him to understand more comprehensively.Who said that women can only go shopping and spend money randomly, there are also women who have better brains than men, and are no worse than men in doing things.

"It's she who's talking to you today, not me. According to the agreement just now, it's agreed that I won't interrupt."

Old-bellied snake drank his own tea without intending to interrupt the conversation between the two.Today, he will come to the company, not to discuss business, nor to catch up with old friends, nor to open the back door to help his granddaughter. To put it bluntly, it is purely to increase her psychological pressure. He wants to see it. How would she negotiate the deal without him intervening.

"It's so cruel. If I make Miss Saya cry, don't blame me."

Seeing that his old friend had expressed that he would not intervene to help, Davis also felt that there was no need to be polite, and directly started a discussion with Saya in the way he usually handles business negotiations.

Starting from the most basic product catalog, Davis picked up a pen and circled the questionable places to ask Saya.It may be due to the preparation of the materials by one person. Even if other staff will summarize them later, there will be omissions. Saya saw the circled parts and realized where she made mistakes. She quickly retrieved the data from the laptop. The back-up data and the gaps in the catalog were completed, and it was barely passed a level.

However, her test has only really begun, and Davis' tricky questions come one after another. If it was the lack of product categories just now, it is now a test of her coping ability.

"Miss Saya, according to my subordinate's investigation, the price of goods imported by other companies to South America is 2% higher than in previous years, but the price of your Hashimoto Trading Company this year is the same as before. I want to know, why do you set the price like this? "

Hearing the old friend's question, the old belly snake, who was inconvenient to intervene, also took a peek at the quotation, and found that just as Davis said, the price was the same as last year, without any change.What's going on here? According to the company's usual practice, the price of the product will increase with the cost, but Saya keeps the price unchanged. What is her plan?

Sensing his grandfather's gradually turning cold eyes, it would be a lie to say that Saya is not under pressure at this time.She knew that her grandfather was also puzzled why she chose to maintain the original price instead of increasing the price according to the cost.In fact, before writing this project proposal, she had struggled with pricing for a long time. It was not until the deadline came that she finally made up her mind to set the price. She believed that her grandfather would agree with her after listening to her explanation. practice.

"Mr Annable, the reason I didn't raise the price is simply that I want to invest in the future of the company."

"Investing for the future?" Davis seemed to hear some clues from the words, and he continued to ask: "Your reason is quite interesting, let's continue."

"If I, like other companies, raise prices as costs increase, it can indeed keep the company's profit margin at a stable level. However, if I do this, the company will lose a long-term customer. My grandfather You will also lose an important friend. Besides, if you only care about the immediate interests and ignore the future development of the company, it is no different from digging your own grave. When doing business, you naturally hope that there will be one more friend and one less enemy in the mall. Considering the long-term interests of both of us, I think maintaining the original price is the best solution, what do you think, Mr. Annable?"

After Shaye finished speaking, not only Davis frowned solemnly, but even the viper sitting on the side became silent.
