C956 Face-smacking in Public
More importantly, Nan Ye had made the Shi family treat their territory with such negligence, which meant that he did not treat the Shi family as his partner at all. Instead, he treated them as his target, and after using them, he would kick them away and even invade their territory.
Jiang Chen walked around for a while, but didn't find anything, so he walked out of the store.
Soong Ying wanted to look at the other pieces of jewelry, but the two of them went next door to the shop.
One of the wooden jades that Feng Xu had given them was relatively small. Soong Ying put on a jade bead and wore it into a bracelet.
As soon as the two walked in, the manager, who was standing by the side and inspecting the counter, saw the light in Soong Ying's eyes and immediately went up to her. He impatiently asked, "Miss, this jade you're carrying is made of wood, right? Such exquisite and adorable things! "
The sales clerk who was in charge of the counter looked at the company's upper echelons that visited once a month and was actually interested in such a piece of jade, feeling extremely surprised. Normally, this manager was very serious, but now he used such a lively and eager tone to ask such a customer a question.
Soong Ying was also shocked. Jiang Chen quickly stood in front of her, "This was bought when we went somewhere else to play. Didn't you sell diamonds?" "Why would you be interested in something like this?"
"Haha, I'm just a businessman. I've always been very interested in this sort of woodified jade, but I haven't been able to find anyone to sell it to. If you can tell me where you bought it from, I can give you some rewards!"
Jiang Chen suddenly felt that he saw a new hope. The Shi Family had been in this area for many years, so it was hard to surpass the market share of diamonds and precious stones.
However, since Mu Huanyu was a rising industry, the Shi Family must not be involved. If they could use this new thing to open up their market, it would definitely be a good entry point!
"Excuse me, do you want to be the agent for this kind of jade?"
"That's right!"
The foreigners were all very frank about this experience, and did not hide anything as they told their thoughts.
"That's too much of a coincidence. I was thinking of doing some small business here to check out the market. Why don't we go to your office and have a chat?"
The manager quickly drove the car and brought Jiang Chen and Soong Ying to the company's headquarters. He then introduced the two of them to his leaders.
After meeting them, Jiang Chen did not hide anything and went straight to the point, "As far as I know, if you want to sell things like jade or jadeite, you can't just use the sales certificate of diamonds. Since you guys are interested in this aspect, I wonder if you guys have that kind of talent?"
"Don't worry, we are the second largest dealer in Area X. We have applied for qualifications for all the items related to the jewelry industry, and they have all been approved."
"Are you interested in that?" Jiang Chen took off Soong Ying's bracelet and placed it in front of the leader.
The manager studied the light carefully, the smile on his face growing bigger and bigger. Obviously, he liked it a lot.
"We've been looking for this kind of thing. Many customers have come to ask about it, but I don't know where it came from. Are you selling this?"
It can't be considered as selling this, but I'm an agent like you. I plan to open up a market here, selling this kind of stuff, big or small, I don't know if you can cooperate with me and help me open up the market. Since you're the second largest agent, you should have a lot of other dealers under you, right?
"Of course, if you give me a suitable price, I would naturally be willing to help you become an intermediary and recommend these items to them to prepare."
Jiang Chen didn't think that it would be easier to negotiate with foreigners than in the country. He also said straightforwardly, "Don't worry about this, I can guarantee that the price I give you is about 30% lower than the price that other small dealers have. As for how to set the price later, it all depends on you."
"If what you say is true, I will be happy to cooperate with you. However, are you sure you have sufficient supplies?"
"Don't worry, I'll leave you my contact information. I'll come talk to you about it after I've prepared all the materials!"
With the cooperation matter almost settled, Soong Ying grumbled to herself on the way back, only after walking far away did she tug on Jiang Chen's sleeve and ask, "Hubby, aren't we here to inspect Merkel's market? Why not work with Ms Merkel? Are you really going to work with this manager? "
This is called being prepared with both hands, even the Sotulas are almost taken over by Merkel, this shows just how ambitious this person is. If we do not open up our own connections, when the time comes, we will have no say in this region, and even if we were to make a profit, we will not be able to get any money, it would be a waste of our time.
Merkel is also a Live-in Son-in-law, now seems to be the existence of a mountain wolf, not a bit trustworthy, Jiang Chen is not prepared to put all the treasures on him.
"So you want to open up your own channel. When the time comes, even if he changes his mind, we can still open up our own market without his interference?"
"My wife is so clever! And let's get this done first, and then we can talk to Merkel, and then we'll have more chips, and I think he's as anxious as an ant on a hot pan by now, and he called me two more days after we got here. "It seems like the Sotulas will not be able to hold on for much longer."
In the days that followed, Mr Liu still did not take the initiative to contact Ms Merkel, and he did not answer any of his calls.1
On the third day, the leader of the jewelry shop called and said that he had already made an appointment with some dealers and they all expressed their interest in Mu Huanyu. They wanted to chat with Jiang Chen face to face, so he held a banquet tonight, inviting the two of them to participate.
Jiang Chen thought that the leader hadn't contacted him in the past two days to decide whether to do this or not. After all, although he was the second largest dealer, he still had a big gap in the market share compared to the Shi Family and probably didn't want to be involved in this mess. He didn't expect that the leader would be so quick and decisive, using these two days to contact other dealers.
Jiang Chen obviously wouldn't shirk his responsibility and immediately agreed to his request to meet with him tonight.
Lei Meng quickly sent the time and address to Jiang Chen's phone. Then, Jiang Chen seemed to remember something and called him.
"Mister Lemon, there shouldn't be any members of the Shi Family attending today's royal ball, right?"
Although these two families were competitors, Lei Meng was far weaker than the Shi Family. Jiang Chen was afraid that Shi Yan would be weak, so he told the family about it.
When Ramón heard this request, he was stunned for a full 10 seconds, then he said with a troubled tone, "Mr. Jiang Chen, although our two families are competing, but there are still many times when we can cooperate and win. For the development of this new project, if we only contact other dealers and don't tell them about it, in the future, if other people spread the news, my situation will be very passive."
