Future chat group - Chapter 849 Double Act
With Lei Hao’s identity, he doesn’t need to negotiate business with people of Zhao Weihua’s level. With Zhao Weihua’s current conditions, he doesn’t need to negotiate with Thunder either.
Now Zhao Weihua asked to see Lei Hao, which already represented a certain meaning, and both Lei Hao and Zhao Weihua tacitly delayed the meeting for two days before initiating the meeting.
On Thursday, December 7, Lei Hao chose to meet Zhao Weihua at Lei Hao’s branch in Shanghai. Judging from the other party’s motivation for agreeing to this location, in fact, the positions of the two parties in the negotiation were slightly reversed.
Of course, Lei Hao’s status is relatively high, so it is natural for the other party to come to Lei Hao to meet him, but if he insists on not meeting, Lei Hao actually has nothing to do.
This can be seen from Zhao Weihua’s first point of view.
“Just giving up positions and setting up options, we both have absolutely no basis for advancing negotiations on contract details.”
In the office, Lei Hao met with people from the CCB’s foreign exchange and savings business department. In fact, it was Zhao Weihua plus two CCB staff members who had to be brought with him. The former was responsible for communicating with Lei Hao, and the latter two were to prevent Zhao Weihua and Lei Hao from reaching a damaging agreement. The private agreement on CCB’s interests is a device to hide the truth.
Zhao Weihua is in his early forties. From his clean and meticulous attire, it can be seen that he attaches great importance to this meeting.
In fact, what Lei Hao didn’t know was that Zhao Weihua was on edge. As the manager of China Construction Bank’s foreign exchange and savings business department, he was excited when he received business instructions for Thai baht treasury bonds and knew that he had to deal with Lei Hao.
Lei Hao is a legendary figure. He founded Thunder in two years and grew from a young account-opening boy to a Chinese financial giant recognized by foreign financial media. This is a very inspiring thing. Looking at the world’s financial circles, Lei Hao deserves to be admired.
Even for a powerful figure in a Chinese state-owned financial institution like Zhao Weihua, he did not mean to look down on Lei Hao, but was a little overly sensitive.
It is precisely because of this over-sensitivity that Zhao Weihua is overly forceful when communicating with the Thunder.
I’m negotiating with Lei Hao. If I can beat him, wouldn’t I be awesome? This is Zhao Weihua’s original mentality, but this mentality is based on his own company’s natural advantage over the Thunder, not how powerful Zhao Weihua is.
This makes Zhao Weihua a little unwilling. The first-line elites of financial state-owned enterprises also have high self-esteem. They are eager to prove themselves, and taking advantage of Lei Hao is a way to prove themselves.
Lei Hao couldn’t guess Zhao Weihua’s complicated psychology, but he could see that the other party was a little nervous.
“Manager Zhao, you should know that Thunder has another way.” Lei Hao said back: “We can find other institutions to cooperate. We are all listed companies, and the four major banks should not refuse profits.”
“It’s impossible. We have already agreed to take over this matter…” Zhao Weihua subconsciously wanted to refute.
“Ahem.” The entourage who followed Zhao Weihua to the Thunder immediately coughed.
“Lei Lei is qualified enough to participate in the foreign exchange savings business. There is no need to hide these small things.” Lei Hao looked at the nervous CCB staff in amusement and said casually: “Anyway, it’s all about talking or not.”
“Okay, let me put it another way.” Lei Hao looked at the nervous CCB staff and said, “Lei Hao has never been afraid of anyone when it comes to cost. I have reason to believe that as long as we keep pressing the cost line to undertake foreign exchange transactions, It is impossible for the foreign exchange bureau to exclude us from the reserve business.”
“Then, why doesn’t Mr. Lei give it a try?” Zhao Weihua also asked back.
“Because in my eyes, whether state-owned or private, we are all Chinese-funded financial institutions.” Lei Hao spread his hands and said: “What you see is the interests, what I see is the direction.”
“In this case, it is only natural for Mr. Lei to make some small concessions for the sake of the overall strategy.” Zhao Weihua said.
“If there is one, there are two. Give a little bit here and a little bit there. Does Manager Zhao think it’s possible?” Lei Hao also became a little curious about Zhao Weihua.
When you meet an opponent in chess, you will meet a good talent. Negotiation is fun only when there is back and forth. If you are a one-man show, it is not negotiating, but giving notice.
“Thirty points! Ten-point options within the price range.” Zhao Weihua raised three fingers and looked at Lei Hao, but there was a different kind of brilliance in his eyes.
“One point is almost US$0.005 per 100 yuan, which is to say 0.15? Even if it is an option with ten points more, compared with the original conditions, it is really much better.” Lei Hao said jokingly.
“It’s only 0.2%, which can’t even reach one month’s interest.” Zhao Weihua said.
“If I release the 0.2% difference, will other institutions be interested?” Lei Hao asked.
Zhao Weihua did not hesitate: “As long as it does not cooperate with us and finally gets the business of the storage and management department, it will definitely be China Construction Bank.”
“Can I understand that this is a threat?” Lei Hao’s expression changed and he said, “I don’t believe that CCB is willing to establish Lei Lei as an enemy!”
“Mr. Lei, why do you bully the small? What you do is just asking us to use another person to negotiate, which will not help.” Zhao Weihua blinked.
The conversation between the two people made the two CCB staff members who were traveling with them tremble with fear, and also made Li Yingfeng and Ye Liu who were following Lei Hao feel confused.
No matter how you look at it, these two people are not negotiating. They seem to be talking about the matter and then…each expressing a tough attitude?
As the conversation progressed, on the surface, Zhao Weihua seemed to be getting tougher and more aggressive, but Lei Hao also laid out all his countermeasures, each of which could lead to a lose-lose situation for both parties.
But except for Ye Liu, the other three people present could not tell that this was actually a scene performed by Lei Hao and Zhao Weihua without communication.
If the Thunder is not tough, how can Zhao Weihua agree to the general conditions? If he doesn’t agree to the conditions, how can he get a stage to show his abilities later?
What I want is for you to be tough. What I want is for you to be tough and show it to the relevant people. Zhao Weihua can get what he wants from the information released in this negotiation that was initiated without communication, and what he wants is also What Lei Hao wanted.
It can also be said that this is a letter of challenge. Lei Hao handed it to Zhao Weihua, and Zhao Weihua took it. Then the two acted in a tacit understanding and jointly pushed the matter in the direction that everyone wanted.
“I have all the advantages. I don’t believe I can’t win against you.” Zhao Weihua had a fire burning in his heart, but on the surface he behaved like a powerful leader of a state-owned organization who looked down on the Thunder. He refused to agree to the Thunder’s conditions and even made sarcastic remarks at the right time. A few words.
“As long as you are willing to give me flexible terms, I will accompany you in this drama.” Lei Hao looked at the CCB staff with a bad face on the surface, but he actually understood the signal sent by Zhao Weihua.
State-owned enterprises are so troublesome. Even if it is a situation that some people can definitely see, with a layer of cover-up, everyone will pretend not to see it. In other words, the four major banks have not weighed in this field. Lei Hao The idea of portion size.
