Chapter 110 Talks before the booth
During this week, the first 50,000 books prepared by Bertelsmann were directly ordered by mail, and they even received orders of more than 100,000 books in total! This situation they had never seen before!
Although they gave Wen Xun's new book the best recommendation at the beginning, they thought the best recommendation was half of it in half a year, but they didn't expect to sell all the 50,000 books in a week! You know, Wen Xun's book was signed by a fake name!
They could only hurriedly contact Wen Xun and Lan Yang, hoping to negotiate the second purchase soon. But this time, Wen Xun, Lan Yang and others were completely unhappy. In Wen Xun's words, it was "Aren't the foreigner very awesome before? Didn't we fly over to see him? This time, we can't let him die! Let him know who is the old man!"
When Wen Xun ordered Lan Yang like this, after a while, Lu Yuqing advised Wen Xun: "Just let him go for a little bit of this matter? Anyway, the sooner you buy your money, the sooner you make money. There is no need to be unable to get over the money."
Wen Xun looked at Lu Yuqing and smiled and didn't say anything. He knew that Lu Yuqing thought that his child had a bad temper. After a long time, he explained: "At the beginning, did the foreigner always show off in Shangyan Business? What does it mean in Shangyan Business? Who is the power is the old man! When we first signed a contract with him, look at his face. Isn't he unwilling to learn the Chinese way? Isn't he willing to give me a cup of tea? Isn't he even unwilling to do it even if he is polite on the surface? Then who is afraid of whom? Do I think I won't give him ugly?"
In Wen Xun's opinion, if any company comes to China to do business, they have to follow the Chinese way! Who asked their business to target Chinese people? Don't follow the Chinese people? The arrogant people follow your European and American people? Well, when they have something to ask for help, don't blame the Chinese people for not giving face.
Reciting the rituals and reciprocity, they will give Wen Xun face, and Wen Xun will give them face!
"Besides, we are scarce resources now and have the right to be arrogant. As long as we have a good grasp of the price, he has to agree to the price. This is also related to money!" Wen Xun added at the end.
When Wen Xun finished speaking, Lu Yuqing was blocked for a long time and couldn't speak. She found that she could not say anything. It seemed that Wen Xun would always say countless words. But what she had to admit was that Wen Xun said was indeed reasonable.
So, when Bertelsmann's foreigners arrived in Yuqing on a plane, Wen Xun, Lan Yang and others began to find various excuses to withdraw. Today Wen Xun said that there was something wrong at school, and tomorrow Lan Yang said that his parents were sick at home, and the two of them dragged them out for 3 days.
In the past three days, the foreigner's mobile phones in the book selection department were blown up! The company headquarters had to call more than a dozen times every day to ask about the status of the negotiations, and even issued threats to him. You know, the orders for "The Alchemist of Steel" within Bertelsmann have accumulated nearly 100,000 copies! If the second batch of printed books cannot be finalized as soon as possible, what will they ship them in the future!
On that day, when Wen Xun was about to go home from school, he walked to the school gate and suddenly found a familiar foreigner not far away! The foreigner looked like Bertelsmann's book selection manager, but why did he feel like he was almost 10 years old? The foreigner that Wen Xun had seen before looked about 40 years old and did not have a beard. Now the one at the school gate is dragging his beard, looking like a savage who just came out of the mountains!
The foreigner was gradually being watched by a group of students after school, but at this time, he seemed to suddenly find Wen Xun who was about to take a detour. So he quickly squeezed out of the crowd and headed straight for Wen Xun.
"oh, god-bless-me!" The foreigner murmured to himself and ran to Wen Xun's side, "Wen Xun? Hello, I'm Bertelsmann's. I really know that I was wrong now. I was wrong in the past very outrageous. Please don't leave, please don't escape me, please give me a chance to have an interview?"
Wen Xun listened to the words of the savage in front of him, biting the lollipop in his mouth and moving constantly. He suddenly felt that the words of the foreigner in front of him sounded so much like what a stupid woman said when she came to find a fool's heartbroken man?
He looked at the sloppy foreigner, and then said, "Okay, come with me." After that, he ignored the foreigner and left on his own. The foreigner was stunned for a few seconds before he realized what Wen Xun said. He had been mentally prepared to be rejected by Wen Xun again!
At this time, he could only follow Wen Xun. He felt that Wen Xun would probably take him to a coffee shop, a local teahouse in Kaixian, or a restaurant to talk. It seems that Chinese people like to have a meal and talk while negotiating.
Wen Xun didn't care what the foreigner was thinking at this time. He walked on his own, took the foreigner through two communities, and then walked for more than ten minutes to a pedestrian street. After walking to the pedestrian street, he came to an open-air stall and sat in front of a short and small table.
At this time, the foreigner following Wen Xun's butt was completely stunned! He didn't understand what Wen Xun wanted to do!
"The cold noodles in this restaurant are very good. I like to eat them very much. Do you also have one?" Wen Xun said to the sloppy foreigner while chewing the lollipop.
The foreigner was really crying at this time! Whether he was in China or abroad, he was a person with status! If you don’t talk about the restaurant, at least find a decent place? But what does it mean to sit in this roadside stall to discuss business? Look at what children are eating jelly around you!
But the situation is better than others, so the foreigner could only smile, then found a small stool and slowly sat down. The tall and big white foreigner sat on a very small stool, and was still at a street cold noodle stall worth 1 yuan per serving. This scene was so attractive to others!
In just two minutes, the stall was surrounded by crowds of onlookers. It was fine if these onlookers were watching, but they kept whispering, smiling, and pointing at foreigners. This made the foreigners feel like they were being watched like a rare animal in a zoo!
Just when he felt that he could not bear it, he heard what Wen Xun said: "So, how many copies are you going to import for the second printing?"
"200,000 copies! No, 500,000 copies!" The foreigner didn't care whether he was being watched by others at this time. He hurriedly said to Wen Xun, "The purchase price is 40% off!"
Chapter completed!
