"Oh, okay." Ye Lingtian nodded and reported to Chu Xiaoxiao.
Chu Xiaoxiao frowned as she questioned, "That's not right, this is the time we agreed upon."
Qin Family Group was still considered a large enterprise, and had already sent a letter, so logically speaking, Ye Lingtian should have been invited in as soon as the announcement was made, why did they have to wait? Chu Xiaoxiao felt that something wasn't right.
"There might be an emergency meeting, he's one of the top five hundred in the world!" Ye Lingtian indicated towards the living room and said, "Look over there, it seems like the top executives of the Kalmar Corporation are really busy."
"The appointed time should be observed!" Chu Xiaoxiao glanced at the representatives waiting anxiously, feeling a little unhappy.
"Xiao Xiao, calm down, Kalma Group is just a springboard and we haven't seen any huge profits yet. It's understandable for them to have such an attitude, not to mention, I have heard of Andries Clan's infamous arrogance, and it's also extremely snobbish." Ye Lingtian found two seats and was about to pour some coffee for Chu Xiaoxiao, "It's normal for you to treat us like this. Our strengths are still there."
Chu Xiaoxiao quickly stopped him and stood up. "You're tired. I'll go. Okay, do you want some water or coffee?"
"It's better if I go. Drink the water you poured. I'm always scared witless." Ye Lingtian swallowed his saliva and replied, "Uh, Boss Chu, don't look at me with that kind of gaze. Declare in advance, I have only heard about the Andries family before, and have never interacted with them before."
Chu Xiaoxiao snappily replied, "I don't understand why you would be scared when you drank the water I poured for you."
Ye Lingtian scratched his head and laughed dryly, "I was just randomly spouting nonsense. You are my superior, so you personally poured water for me. Of course I'm flattered."
"It's good that you think so." Chu Xiaoxiao passed a glass of water to Ye Lingtian.
Ye Lingtian originally thought that it would be their turn soon, so he didn't expect the representatives from the companies in the living room to leave one by one.
Chu Xiaoxiao looked at the time and couldn't wait any longer. Ye Lingtian was about to walk to the front desk when she pulled him back. "I think this trip will be wasted."
"Retreat? This is not your style! "
"Look over at the front desk. That's the president of the Japan Angel Society, Saburo. Next to him is his secretary." Chu Xiaoxiao sighed softly, and said, "I finally understand why my Top Music Group has sunk so low. I really didn't think that the Angel Society would also be interested in Europe."
Ye Lingtian really didn't know much about tea and beverage companies: "Are they very strong?"
"In the tea beverage market, the Angel Society is also a very big group. In the recent years, Boss Qin and I originally viewed them as our strongest competitors to enter the European market. In fact, we had no chance of winning the moment they made a move, but after thinking about it carefully, we excluded them. We were so wrong. " Chu Xiaoxiao was deeply ashamed of her strategic misjudgement.
In fact, from a normal perspective, Chu Xiaoxiao and Qin Xueying had no problems with it. The rapid rise of the tea beverage market in the Society of Angels had done some thorough research on the Asian market, and the taste of the drink was very consistent with the taste of the Oriental people. According to the strategy of enterprise development, the Society of Angels should stand a firm foothold in Asia before considering entering the European market.
Everyone knows that the intelligence work of the Japanese enterprises has always been outstanding. For President Sanlang to personally come, it is clear that he has already grasped a lot of information. At the same time, the European merchants are subconsciously more willing to do business with the Japanese. Chu Xiaoxiao shrugged her shoulders and said unwillingly, "We have to admit that the Japanese companies have done very well in details and quality control, which we can't match up to."
Health and safety were two of the more important aspects in Europe, and due to the unruly behavior of certain enterprises in the early stages of Hua Country, the world was very worried about the safety of the enterprises in Hua Country and food. This might also have been one of the reasons for the rapid change in the attitude of Kalma Group.
Sure enough, there was a call from the front desk and Saburo was led into the elevator.
"Let's go." Chu Xiaoxiao tugged at Ye Lingtian.
"Let me ask." Ye Lingtian was a bit annoyed, he walked to the front desk and smiled, "May I ask if Mr. Holder's meeting is over? You know, we've been waiting a long time. "
The front desk still had an apologetic smile on his face as he said, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Mr Ye. Mr. Holder and Mr. Saburo have an appointment before your company. We can only receive your company's representatives after we talk to them."
"Please note that our communication has an agreed time of 10 o'clock this morning!" Ye Lingtian pointed at the clock on the wall, "Unfortunately, it's almost midnight. Is this how Kalmar Group treats their partners?"
The apology on the front desk's face intensified. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "How about this, Mr Ye, I'll give the purchasing department another call."
After a while, the receptionist said helplessly, "Respected Mr Ye, Mr. Holder's secretary said that Mr. Holder is currently in talks with Mr. Saburo. Mr. Holder said that if you have any other matters, you can go back to the hotel first.
"Oh, thank you." Ye Lingtian pulled Chu Xiaoxiao out of Kalma Group.
Chu Xiaoxiao sat in the car with a dejected look on her face, "No matter what, Top Music Group has met Holder himself. We're too lazy to meet him."
The reason why they agreed to negotiate was to have the Qin Family Group act as a basis for them to get the most benefits from their discussions with the Angel Society. In the words of the Secretary, it was better to suffer losses than to do business with others, who knows when problems would arise with their products, and at that time, it would have an immeasurable impact on the reputation of the Kalma Group. No amount of profits could make up for that.
To use a popular saying, we can't afford to hurt ourselves by doing business with you.
Although Kalma Group's attitude made people angry, Ye Lingtian expressed understanding that Hua Country Food Company did have many problems in some areas, and this was a fact that no one could avoid.
"I don't understand. There are so many chains of enterprises in the world, must we cooperate with the Kalma Group?" Ye Lingtian asked in confusion.
"Kalma Group's profits may not be the greatest, but their reputation is definitely top-notch. They are a flag!" "In other words, the sales volume of our products in the Kalma chain is not the important point, the important point is to get the approval of the Kalma Group. The entire world knows, from the start of the business to now, the Kalma Group has never had any food safety accidents, they are synonymous with safety and health."
"To put it bluntly, we have entered Kalma Group just to hang a sign that says' absolutely safe and healthy '?" Ye Lingtian was enlightened.
You can say that, as long as I can gain a foothold in Kalma Group's Shang Chao, my company's products will be acknowledged through small channels. Chu Xiaoxiao was a smart person. Although her ears weren't sensitive, she was able to guess Holde's attitude. "Now it seems that Boss Qin and I have neglected the Angel Society's ambitions, as well as the significant impact of the serious food safety problems that were exposed in the country a while ago."
"So according to you, Boss Qin is determined to win this negotiation?" Ye Lingtian paused and asked seriously.
However, Boss Qin was clear that the Kalma Group was very hard to talk about, so before they came over, we had already made our plan B. If things don't go well, we will adjust our strategy and focus on America. "
As she spoke till here, Chu Xiaoxiao smiled slyly, "As far as I know, the Rothschild Clan of America can speak for itself when it comes to the large scale chain-link companies."
Ye Lingtian shook his head, and said very seriously: "Xiao Xiao, you have forgotten a problem. Although the Rothschild family's preferential treatment yesterday was not lacking, take a good look at the contract, there is an additional condition, and that is to successfully enter Kalma Group!"
Chu Xiaoxiao's mind was muddled by the shocking preferential treatment and quickly told Ye Lingtian to take out the contract. After a closer look, it was indeed like that.
"So you're saying, the possibility of cooperating with the Kalma Group is a test for us by the Rothschild family?" Chu Xiaoxiao sounded like a deflated balloon. "Like the reflection of a flower in the moon," she said.
"As I said before, the Rothschild family is famous for being stingy. This family has endured for hundreds of years, and other than the background behind them, they also have an incredibly shrewd gaze." Ye Lingtian kept the contract well, and seeing Chu Xiaoxiao's dejected face, he laughed, "However, the Rothschild family's attitude also revealed another piece of information. If we can work with Kalma group successfully, then their help won't be as simple as it is now."
The conditions offered now are still simple? Chu Xiaoxiao trembled and looked at Ye Lingtian: "Speak clearly."
"Three years! The period of time for a product to be accepted from the moment it appears should be three years. In other words, if we can win the European market within three years, then it would be effortless for us to win the following American market with them there. Although the Rothschild family has set up a barrier, the contract we have given to us has already fully proven their sincerity. " Ye Lingtian looked at the towering Kalmar Group and said in a deep voice, "Will we hide in Hua Country and never go out, or will we traverse the entire world? "So …"
"Don't you think it's a pity to give up now?" Ye Lingtian turned his head to look at Chu Xiaoxiao and saw her looking at him with eyes as gentle as water. He immediately shivered, "What's wrong with you?"
"Like I said, you're a talent that can command a team, and as expected, I've already seen through you. I'll tell you this, I don't care what you used to be like in the past, or what kind of status you have, you're still a member of the Qin Family group now. Chu Xiaoxiao waved her small fist in a ferocious gesture. "I'll skin you alive!"
