59 An Expert Negotiator (1/2)
Who exactly was Duruk?
Bouzef knew him very well since he worked in the same company as Duruk. The latter was none other than the previous representative to China. He was apprehended in China, sent back to the country, and was serving his time in jail.
China's relevant bureau had concrete proof back then and they were very insistent about it. Despite China Media United Business Group being a very powerful entity, they were not able to pull him out of jail at all.
Not a lot of people knew of this incident. Hence, Bouzef did not know just how Ye Xiong knew of it at all.
”Mr. Ye Xiong, I don't know any Mr. Duruk at all, let alone being his friend. Have you mistaken me for someone else?” Bouzef was stubborn.
”Since you don't know him at all, please take your leave. I wish you all the best.”
Ye Xiong waved his hand and revealed an incredibly mischievous smile. ”I hope you won't be like Duruk, being caught when he was boarding the plane.”
Bouzef's heart skipped a beat and he almost fell to the ground.
'Who exactly was this guy? How is it possible that he even knows that Duruk was caught right before he was about to board the plane?'
Only a handful of people knew of this incident. Just how did he know of it?
Perhaps Duruk's capture was related to him?
”Please move along. If you don't go now you won't be able to catch the plane in time.” Ye Xiong hushed as he took out his phone as if he was about to make a call.
Bouzef became more worried the more Ye Xiong behaved like this.
It felt wrong to leave and things could go bad if he did not too. He was in a complete dilemma.
Yang Xinyi could already tell that Bouzef was not really here to work together at all. The latter should try to leave as soon as possible no matter what after being exposed by Ye Xiong, but why did he not dare to leave all of the sudden?
”About that… Mr. Ye Xiong, why don't we talk in private?” Bouzef pondered for a moment and decided not to take this risk.
”Sure, no problem.”
Ye Xiong turned around and informed Yang Xinyi. ”President Yang, please leave this room for a while. Bouzef and I have to discuss the purchase order problem in private.”
What did he mean discussing the purchase order? He did not even know the price of the company's product, how would he be able to discuss them at all?
However, Yang Xinyi stood up and left the office.
She stood at the door for an hour before Ye Xiong came out and smiled. ”President Yang, I believe you should give me a huge bonus. After all, I've succeeded in making ten million bucks in sales for you.”
”What? Ten million bucks?” Yang Xinyi was startled.
Had Ye Xiong gone crazy? Bouzef was clearly a scammer and the former still wanted to do business with the latter? Was he trying to die or something?
”This is the contract. President Yang, please have a look and sign your name here if you've no comment.” Ye Xiong handed over the contract.
'He had even come up with a contract? I want to see what kind of sales you can really get.'
Yang Xinyi was dumbfounded when she took the contract and had a look at it.
”Purchase order for pure copper torchlight at a price of one hundred and twenty Yuan each… Total purchase order of eleven million Yuan. To be split into four phases. Each phase would cost approximately 2.5 million Yuan each… The buyer shall pay everything in full to the seller and production will only begin when the money has been received.”
Not only was the price ridiculously high, but the contract was simply made as well.
Especially the payment criteria. Which foreign company would be willing to pay everything first before production? The foreign companies nowadays were all big shots and would not pay a single cent unless they had received the goods.
This contract was definitely simply made.
”Am I seeing this right? Full payment before production?” Yang Xinyi asked Bouzef as she looked at him.
”That's right… This is my agreement with Mr. Ye Xiong,” Bouzef said painfully and gulped down his saliva.
This was clearly a scam. It's not even considered an agreement at all. It was clear that Bouzef agreed to Ye Xiong's agreement since he did not want to go to jail.
”Didn't the contract state very clearly? Even Mr. Bouzef has signed the contract,” Ye Xiong said impatiently. ”Please sign your name now. Once you've signed the contract, Bouzef will cash in the first order.”
”Is he going to cash in now?” Yang Xinyi was in disbelief.
The truth was the truth. When Yang Xinyi signed the contract, Bouzef immediately transferred some two million Yuan over for the first batch. Yang Xinyi was only convinced that it was all true when she had received confirmation from the finance department.
It was her first time receiving payment before production when dealing with a foreigner.
