Chapter 80: Full payment received!
Wang Guanxi continued, speaking at a moderate pace.
"This factory in Guangzhou has everything: equipment, employees, and technology. After we buy it, we'll have them send a few technical experts to help train apprentices at our new factory in Jiangcheng. We'll be producing and training simultaneously."
He paused.
"Doesn't this solve the problem of technological transition?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
Fang Yuanshan's mind was racing.
Yup!
How could he not have thought of that?
The factory in Guangzhou is an established factory with skilled workers and standardized production processes.
Have them send a few people over to teach the workers in Jiangcheng step by step.
A few months later, the factory in Jiangcheng was able to run on its own.
Isn't this a hundred times better than recruiting and training people from scratch?
"Mr. Wang, your approach is correct!"
Fang Yuanshan's voice rose several octaves.
"So," Wang Guanxi leaned back in his chair, "money is no problem. Twenty percent more is fine. You negotiate the contract and sign it right away."
Fang Yuanshan took a deep breath.
"Understood. I'll contact them right away."
"The faster the better. Don't let it get away."
"Mr. Wang, the other party has already left work—"
"Then let's win him back." Wang Guanxi's tone left no room for argument. "Details don't matter. Let's get the contract signed first, and I'll transfer the money right away."
Fang Yuanshan was silent for two seconds on the other end of the phone.
He originally thought that if he negotiated the price for a couple of days, he could save at least one or two million.
But Wang Guanxi is right.
Time is more valuable than money.
Moreover, the technical experts at the Guangzhou factory are people you can't buy with money.
"Okay, Mr. Wang. I'll take care of it right away."
"Okay. Send me your account number after you sign."
In front of a tea restaurant in Guangzhou.
Fang Yuanshan hung up Wang Guanxi's call, stood by the roadside, and stood there stunned for two seconds.
Then he took a deep breath, opened his contacts, found the number, and dialed it.
It rang three times, then I answered.
"Feed? Mr. Fang?"
The voice on the other end of the phone was that of a middle-aged man with a Cantonese accent.
"Mr. Liu, are you still at the company?"
"I'm not here anymore, I'm off work. I'm eating out."
Where are you? I'm coming to find you.
Mr. Liu was taken aback for a moment: "Mr. Fang, didn't we agree to discuss the price tomorrow?"
"No need to negotiate anymore." Fang Yuanshan gritted his teeth. "Our General Manager Wang said it will be based on your price tag."
The other party was noticeably silent for several seconds, seemingly shocked that Fang Yuanshan had agreed to the price so readily.
After the initial shock, he said with a clear smile, "I'm at Xiao Bingsheng in Taikoo Hui. Come over, I'm waiting for you!"
"Okay, I'll be there in twenty minutes."
Fang Yuanshan hung up the phone and hailed a taxi.
After getting on the bus, he realized he felt a pang of heartache.
A 20% premium means millions.
But Wang Guanxi is right; the extra cost is for technology and time.
These are two things that sometimes money can't buy.
Fang Yuanshan shook his head, took out his phone, and sent a message to Wang Guanxi.
"Mr. Wang, the other party has agreed to meet now, and I'm already on my way."
Wang Guanxi replied instantly: "Okay. Send me your account number after you sign, and I'll arrange for my finance department to make the payment."
Fang Yuanshan stared at the word "good" for a long time.
There wasn't even a "thank you for your hard work" message.
But it was this decisiveness that made him feel that following this boss was the right choice.
Twenty minutes later, Fang Yuanshan pushed open the door to the "Xiao Bingsheng" private room.
Boss Liu sat inside, with a pot of Pu'er tea, a plate of shrimp dumplings, and a plate of chicken feet in front of him.
He was in his fifties, with gray hair, wearing a dark blue polo shirt and a Rolex on his wrist.
Seeing Fang Yuanshan enter, he stood up and extended his hand.
"Mr. Fang, come, come, have a seat."
Fang Yuanshan shook hands with him and sat down.
Boss Liu poured him a cup of tea and said with a smile.
"Mr. Fang, what kind of business does your CEO Wang run? He's so generous!"
Fang Yuanshan picked up his teacup, took a sip, and smiled.
"Our boss, Mr. Wang, has no other skills, but he's rich."
Boss Liu laughed heartily.
"Money is great, money is great. I love doing business with people who have a lot of money."
He took a stack of documents out of his briefcase and pushed them in front of Fang Yuanshan.
"This is the transfer agreement, take a look. Let's discuss any changes you need now."
Fang Yuanshan took it and turned the pages one by one.
He read it from beginning to end without missing a single word.
The contract terms are fine; everything that should be there is there, and nothing that shouldn't be there is.
The price column showed a number much higher than he had expected.
Fang Yuanshan looked at that number and his heart ached again.
But remembering what Wang Guanxi said, "Stop haggling, just buy it," he gritted his teeth and picked up his pen.
"Boss Liu, the contract is fine. Let's sign it."
Boss Liu's eyes lit up.
He originally thought that negotiating this price would take at least two or three days.
The other party bargained, and he gave in. This back-and-forth was giving him a headache.
To my surprise, they agreed immediately.
They didn't even haggle over the price.
Boss Liu was overjoyed.
He ran a fabric business in Guangzhou for twenty years and accumulated a considerable fortune.
But the business has been bad these past two years, he's getting old, and his son doesn't want to take over the business, so he's thinking of immigrating as soon as possible.
I contacted several buyers, but they either thought it was too expensive or too far away.
Finally, someone who doesn't mind the price came along, what else could he say?
The two people signed and pressed their fingerprints on the contract.
Fang Yuanshan put the contract away, took out his phone, and sent a message to Wang Guanxi.
"Mr. Wang, the contract has been signed. The other party's account number is: XXXXXXXXXXX. Also, regarding the technical expert, Boss Liu said he'll arrange it as soon as he gets back, and someone can be sent over next week."
Less than thirty seconds after the message was sent, Boss Liu's phone vibrated.
It's a bank notification that the money has been deposited.
When Boss Liu looked down, he was completely stunned.
Full amount received!
Not a deposit, not a down payment, it's the full amount!
He had been in business for so many years and had never seen such speed before.
The full payment arrived in my account less than a minute after the contract was signed.
What kind of amazing move is this?
After confirming that the money had arrived, Boss Liu smiled and asked Fang Yuanshan.
"Mr. Fang, who exactly is your General Manager Wang?"
Fang Yuanshan smiled but did not answer.
He didn't know who Wang Guanxi was either.
But he knew that by following this deity, he would have meat to eat.
Jiangcheng, downstairs from Su Qingyu's house.
The Cullinan came to a stop.
Cecilia Cheung turned around and said, "Mr. Wang, we've arrived."
Wang Guanxi glanced at the message sent by Fang Yuanshan.
Once the contract was signed and my money was transferred, the factory in Guangzhou officially belonged to me.
He smirked slightly and put his phone in his pocket.
Then I briefly told Cecilia Cheung about Fang Yuanshan's recent acquisition of a fabric factory in Guangzhou.
"Go to the finance department tomorrow and make the arrangements. Let Fang Yuanshan be fully responsible for the handover of the Guangzhou factory. Also, have Lu Mingyuan prepare the dormitories for the technical team at the new Jiangcheng factory in advance. Don't make things difficult for the experts from Guangzhou."
Cecilia Cheung nodded and wrote it down in her notebook.
"Okay, Mr. Wang."
