Chapter 56 Conditions that cannot be compromised
Ye Zhou originally thought that his words were a serious provocation, but what he didn't expect was that the other party was relieved because he said "I won't let Ying Long be used by them."
This confused Ye Zhou, but as the negotiations continued, he suddenly came to his senses.
The people sitting across from him were completely different from the people sitting next to him.
To put it nicely, they are calculating economic accounts and what strategies can be used to maximize profits; but to put it harshly, these people only care about their pockets.
Each of them is very clear about the true strength of Yinglong Eda, and they all know what kind of impact it will have on domestic companies if the restrictions on Yinglong are relaxed and allowed to enter the international market.
Although Ye Zhou publicly stated before that he would not sell Yinglong to non-Chinese companies, they judged others by themselves and did not actually believe Ye Zhou's words.
How can a businessman refuse profits?
What a joke.
But today, what Ye Zhou said in front of so many high-level officials at such a formal negotiation occasion is enough to serve as evidence.
So, they were very excited about this result.
Is Yinglong really not going to be sold to the international market?
That would be easy to talk about!
As long as you don't enter the international market, it won't have a big impact on their interests. If you play your own game, you will make less money, but at least the less money will be limited.
In this way, the strategy for subsequent negotiations can be appropriately changed, even if the conditions are slightly relaxed.
After thinking about these things clearly, Ye Zhou showed a somewhat sarcastic smile on his face.
Probably the people on the other side of the screen will never understand the ideals pursued by the people around him.
They can't understand why someone would spend millions to pull a wire into the mountains and then charge tens or even a few dollars for electricity every year.
I can't understand those people who ride bicycles or even donkeys to deliver express delivery to the Kunlun Snow Mountains.
We cannot understand medical funding at any cost, we cannot understand the high-speed train network that has been losing money for years, and of course, we cannot understand the deepest expectations behind this negotiation.
After the initial tit-for-tat exchanges, the negotiations gradually began to transition into a normal process, but Ye Zhou insisted on his conditions and refused to let go. At most, he only agreed to make slight concessions on pricing. As for the number of users, his reply always had only one sentence:
"All Chinese enterprises must use Yinglong eda unconditionally."
Lu Siwen turned his eyes helplessly to Chen Hao, and then said:
"It seems that today's technical negotiations will not make much progress, but it doesn't matter. We will have multiple rounds of negotiations in the future. Why don't we turn to the compensation of economic and trade contracts today?"
Ye Zhou also turned to look at Chen Hao. When he saw the other party nodded, he stood up decisively and gave up the negotiating chair.
Chen Hao stood up and sat down at Ye Zhou's seat, coughed, and then said:
"There is no need to talk about food imports. We can talk about automobile imports and exports."
Lu Siwen almost choked at Chen Hao's words. He even wondered if the people negotiating on the other side had taken the wrong medicine.
Although he had been mentally prepared for their attitude before, he never expected that the other party would be so determined.
"Mr. Chen, if you follow my suggestions, I think every issue needs to be discussed in detail. This is both your sincerity and our sincerity."
"No, I still insist not to talk about food procurement. If you need compensation, we can negotiate compensation in other areas."
Chen Hao said firmly.
The food issue has always been a red line, and it is absolutely impossible for him to touch this red line in this form of negotiation.
Before entering the negotiations, he had already seen the other party's proposal. What they asked for was an import increase of 50 million tons, which was close to 100%!
If this condition is negotiated, even if the final increase in imports is only 20 million tons, it will still account for about 6% of the entire year's grain consumption.
This means that domestic food security will face a 6% new risk.
Unlike any other commodity, if those people on the opposite side of the grain suddenly decide not to supply the 6% of grain, and if the domestic production fails to keep up in time, then the increase in grain prices caused by the 6% gap will be far greater.
Not as much as 6%.
Instead, it will continue to rise until 6% of people starve to death.
Therefore, no matter what, even if this negotiation, which is intended to delay the other party, is completely messed up, he will never let go.
Lu Siwen on the opposite side was silent for a moment and replied helplessly:
"Then we can still skip this topic... Anyway, let's continue our negotiations first."
Three hours later, when Ye Zhou began to feel sleepy, the long negotiation finally came to an end.
The video hung up and everyone left the venue. Chen Hao found Ye Zhou and reached out to pat his arm.
"You've done well, little comrade. If you hadn't expressed your attitude so radically at the beginning, it would have been impossible for us to continue talking about financial compensation at the current pace."
Ye Zhou chuckled and replied:
"I'm just using the topic as an excuse. There aren't many opportunities to curse people, and I get angry when I see Lu Siwen..."
Chen Hao nodded clearly. Lu Siwen had a very bad reputation in China, mainly because he showed off his Chinese persona when he was doing business in China, deliberately pretending to be a good friend of the Chinese people, but he didn't know what he was doing secretly.
How many bad things have been done.
"It's okay. People like him will never hurt us again in the future. By the way, if you are interested in the subsequent negotiations, you can continue to participate. If you are not interested, you don't have to come."
"The subsequent negotiations will mainly focus on the economic aspect. We will find ways to hold them back. It will probably be very boring."
Ye Zhou nodded and replied:
"Well, I will not participate in the subsequent negotiations. Anyway, the technical aspects have been clearly explained. If you need to make concessions, you can make the decision."
Ye Zhou still didn't reveal Chen Hao's intentions, even though he knew in his heart that this was a negotiation that was destined to have no results.
Even though in the process just now, Chen Hao had always shown that he was always willing to pay every penny in economic negotiations, Ye Zhou knew that when the final results of the chip industry came out, it would be the time when Chen Hao had nothing to show for it.
At that time, how will Chen Hao terminate the negotiations?
Ye Zhou suddenly became curious.
Seeing the casual smile emerging from the corner of Ye Zhou's mouth, Chen Hao seemed to be infected. He smiled slightly and replied:
"Don't worry, we won't compromise with them."
"It's better not to compromise. The biggest benefit is to not compromise..."
Ye Zhou answered subconsciously and followed Chen Hao towards the door. Suddenly, his steps paused.
There is something wrong with Chen Hao's words.
If we don't compromise, what else can we talk about?
Chen Hao naturally knew the purpose of the negotiation, but he should never show such an attitude in front of him.
