I wonder if it was because of the last fight between Li Wenjun and Susan that Wolfgang looked at Li Wenjun with admiration.
So Wolfgang agreed to Li Wenjun's request without thinking for too long.
In fact, except for the fact that Peter should be the president of Greater China, which made him uncomfortable, the other terms were fine.
As the leader of a large family, Wolfgang would not delay his big career for such a trivial matter.
Li Wenjun hurriedly said: "Congratulations."
Peter: "Please tell me when we will start the acquisition."
Li Wenjun looked at his work schedule and said: "Let me arrange things. I should be able to accompany you to Haicheng and Suzhou tomorrow to talk to a few big brands and strive for success." Peter: " OK, thank you Mr. Li."
In order to keep the wealth from going to outsiders, Li Wenjun's first stop was to go to Sioux City to find the Kong family.
Mr. Kong and Kong Yuzhen received Li Wenjun and Peter according to the highest standards, but they were obviously more enthusiastic towards Peter than towards Li Wenjun.
Tsk tsk, do you want to cause shock again? Why can't you learn well?
Li Wenjun was secretly amused, but remained calm.
Mr. Kong said: "Oh, Mr. Peter, you are really discerning in choosing our Baihua cosmetics. We are a century-old brand."
Peter looked at Li Wenjun blankly.
Li Wenjun translated it once.
Then Mr. Kong’s heart suddenly galloped: Damn, this German has been here for several years and he hasn’t learned Chinese yet! !
Now I'm blind. None of us speak German. It is impossible to get rid of Li Wenjun.
His face quickly regained its composure, and he said calmly: "You have had a hard journey today, so take a good rest first, and we will talk about business tomorrow."
Haha, what is a good rest? It is obviously to give yourself time to find a translator.
Li Wenjun pretended he didn't know and nodded: "That's okay. I'll take Peter around Su City today to let him appreciate our Jiangnan water town."
Mr. Kong said: "I will send a driver to follow you. You just need to tell the driver where you want to go."
Tsk tsk tsk, we need to send someone to monitor us.
Are you afraid that we can secretly talk to others?
Yes, after all, there are other small cosmetics brands in Sioux City.
Li Wenjun translated for Peter.
Peter was a little frightened and felt that Mr. Kong was too enthusiastic.
Li Wenjun explained to him that this was a routine operation in China, and Peter's expression relaxed a little.
Li Wenjun nodded to Mr. Kong: "Thank you very much."
He took Peter to visit several gardens and for a walk in the ancient town.
He had been paying attention to the driver and found that wherever they went, the driver would make a call on his mobile phone when they were gone.
Sure enough, they were reporting their whereabouts to Mr. Kong.
Peter's eyes widened when he saw a woman wearing a cheongsam and carrying an oil-paper umbrella passing by on the stone bridge.
Li Wenjun is a little funny. Sure enough, even men can't resist the charm of a woman wearing a cheongsam.
The woman smiled brightly at Peter.
Only then did Peter realize his gaffe, blushed and came to his senses, and said to Li Wenjun in German: "It's so beautiful."
Li Wenjun nodded: "The old Chinese cosmetics used to have beautiful women in cheongsam printed on their packaging."
Peter nodded: "It's quite unique. It would be a pity to abandon this, but if we keep it, it may be difficult to promote it to all parts of the world."
After all, Western culture and aesthetics are still the mainstream now, and even the Chinese themselves are more inclined to buy cosmetics with more Western packaging.
Li Wenjun said: "Yes, this is a dilemma. If you want to increase sales, it is not appropriate to focus on this. The best way is to use Western-style products in the mainstream, and then regularly launch Chinese-style products."
Peter was a little tired from shopping. As soon as he returned to the hotel, he received a call from Mr. Kong, and someone was translating.
Mr. Kong invited him out to drink tea.
Peter is very reluctant: although he knows that Chinese people work day and night, he is German and he originally got off work at four o'clock but now it is delayed until five o'clock. It’s really unpleasant to have to discuss business with people after get off work.
He couldn't refuse directly, so he could only use Li Wenjun as a shield: "What did Mr. Li say?"
Mr. Kong said: "I have something important that I want to discuss with Mr. Kleinman alone."
This old man doesn't look like a good person.
You want to get me out alone so you can fool me!
When Peter heard this, he became even more reluctant and was too lazy to give Mr. Kong face. He said, "I'm tired. It's rest time now. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it during work tomorrow. Besides, we agreed to cooperate with Mr. Li Wenjun, and I won't Accept private meetings with me from anyone else."
Then it hung up.
Mr. Kong couldn't catch his breath and almost fainted.
This German is so lazy and rigid! !
I kindly provided him with the opportunity not to be exploited by Li Wenjun, but he didn't appreciate it! !
During breakfast the next day, Peter said to Li Wenjun: "Let's find another company. Don't talk to this one."
Li Wenjun raised his eyebrows slightly: "Well, why? We haven't even understood their brand yet."
Peter thought carefully before saying vaguely: "In addition to technology, our cooperation as Germans mainly depends on credibility and reputation."
That’s why German companies care so much about workers’ welfare because they are afraid of damaging their credibility and reputation. In the future, things will not be sold and no one will be willing to cooperate.
Li Wenjun understood instantly.
It seemed that Mr. Kong said something to Peter behind his back last night, which made him unhappy.
Peter looked serious and unsmiling, but in fact he was very knowledgeable.
The Chinese market is completely different from the West and is too complex.
From the perspective of the entire enterprise, they have just entered China. If they don’t find a trustworthy Chinese person to cooperate with, they will be cheated until they lose their pants.
Personally, if he wants to stay in China for a long time and develop well, he must form an alliance with Li Wenjun.
Otherwise Wolfgang would replace him in minutes.
Besides, as far as he knew, the Kong family were all working for Li Wenjun.
If a branch company wants to go beyond the headquarters to cooperate with other companies, it would be a shame!
Such people will be expelled from the market in Germany.
In fact, he wanted to say that talking to the Kong family for one more day would be a waste of time.
Seeing that Peter was hesitant to speak, Li Wenjun smiled and said, "They're all here, let's see what they say today. Anyway, we have a few more to visit next, and we're not sure about this one."
Peter always felt that there were too few candidate brands in China, so Li Wenjun said this, so he just sighed softly: "Okay, I'll let you decide. You are more familiar with Chinese companies than I am."
Since the Kong family is a subordinate of Li Wenjun, and Li Wenjun is such a powerful person, it is impossible not to know the Kong family's urinary properties.
Today, Mr. Kong made an appointment at a teahouse, but he didn’t bring a translator. I brought some of their facial creams, creams, and toilet water and showed them to Peter and Li Wenjun.
Mainly, of course, for Peter to see.
Peter listened absentmindedly and showed a lack of interest.
