Chapter 171: They're all the same.
After all, he once built a jade carving company from scratch.
I'm not a novice in this area.
But now, the company's staff are actually showing him product brochures hanging on the wall.
Zhang Dong was speechless.
However, he didn't say anything, but walked to the wall and began to examine it.
After checking, Chow Yun-fat asked in confusion, "How is it, bro?"
Zhang Dong shook his head: "These introductory images are just partial screenshots, not the whole picture. It's possible that the other party is trying to prevent the theft of technology, so you can't see the performance of the whole machine."
Zhang Dong wanted to see the other party's actual product and its specific details.
Having understood Zhang Dong's meaning, Fa Ge turned to call the female staff member, but when he turned back, he found that she had already left.
The two men exchanged a glance, then reluctantly went outside and found the female staff member.
But they found that the other party had already taken their seat and was drinking tea.
When they saw the two of them coming over, he ignored them completely.
Zhang Dong looked embarrassed. He thought to himself, "This sales company is too arrogant. With this attitude towards customers, I really don't know how far they can go."
Everyone knows that the customer is king, but these people have now elevated themselves to the status of gods. They see customers who pay for their products as people who are begging them for favors.
Otherwise, the other party wouldn't be so arrogant.
The female staff member looked disdainful when she heard Zhang Dong make this request after arriving.
"Oh dear, why are you making such a fuss? You still want to see the actual product? Many bosses come here and don't even look at the model before making a prepayment and waiting for the product to be shipped."
"What, a prepayment?" Zhang Dong asked, his face full of confusion.
The female staff member pursed her lips: "You don't know our company rules, do you? I really don't know how you even got here."
"We need to make the payment first, since we manufacture overseas."
"You guys actually require payment upfront?" Zhang Dong was genuinely surprised.
"That's right, this has always been our company's sales and operation model. What, you seem dissatisfied?"
"What's wrong with making payment first? Our company is a century-old enterprise. If you can't even understand this, it seems you're not sincere about buying our equipment..."
The female staff member had an arrogant expression.
Zhang Dong was furious. He never expected to encounter such an amazing company. Zhang Dong thought to himself, "I've really learned something new today."
After joining the company, he was not only treated arrogantly by their staff, who didn't respect him as a customer and even demanded advance payment...
"I'm asking you whether you're going to buy our company's equipment or not. If not, then don't waste each other's time. Time is life."
Seeing the impatience on the faces of the other party's staff, Zhang Dong couldn't help but explode.
"Screw time, it's life!"
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Why are you being so rude?" the female staff member persisted.
Brother Fa snorted coldly: "So what if you speak rudely? I've never seen a sales company as arrogant as yours."
He said coldly, then grabbed Zhang Dong's arm, and the two stormed out of the sales company.
Afterwards, Brother Fa was also embarrassed: "Brother Zhang Dong, what just happened was not just an accident, but a serious incident. Next, I will take you to see other manufacturers."
"Damn, what the hell is this? Even I can tell he's just a salesman, but he acts like he's God. What's the point?"
After leaving the house, Brother Fa was still cursing and swearing, full of resentment.
He originally brought Zhang Dong here hoping to quickly close this deal, but it turns out he still needs to lead Zhang Dong to find other manufacturers...
The second company is Deere Sales.
This time, Zhang Dong did get to meet the other party's sales manager.
But the other party's tone was cold and their attitude was rude and blunt.
"To buy our company's products, you must first make payment to our company."
Zhang Dong was frustrated. He thought to himself, "Are all these foreigners the same? Why do they all ask for payment first?"
"What if we are not satisfied with your company's equipment after making the payment?"
"Oh, well, if you're not satisfied, our company will refund half of the amount."
"What, a half refund? That means I pay 20, and I only get 10 back?"
The sales manager nodded coldly: "That's right..."
After receiving this reply, Zhang Dong didn't let Fa Ge pull his shoulder this time; he walked towards the door on his own.
Behind me came the angry voice of the sales manager.
“You can’t buy this kind of advanced jade carving equipment anywhere else except here, kid.”
“I bet you’ll come back here after you’ve gone around in circles.”
Zhang Dong, who was almost at the door, suddenly stopped and turned around.
"Since you're so confident, then I'll give you my answer too. If I ever come back to your company after I step out of here, I'm a coward."
The arrogance of the sales manager had already made Zhang Dong very impatient.
After stepping outside, Brother Fa looked utterly helpless. He realized then that this out-of-town client was quite difficult to handle.
"Hey bro, that's how they do business. Can't you just make the payment first?"
Zhang Dong sneered: "Forget it. I prefer not to act until I see results. Who knows if this is a scam company?"
"If it's a fraudulent company, can you guarantee that you'll return all the money I've put in?"
Chow Yun-fat waved his hands repeatedly: "No."
Zhang Dong nodded: "In that case, take me with you and let's go find some domestic companies."
Brother Fa frowned: "Brother, let me be clear from the start, the quality of domestic products is far inferior to that of foreign products."
Zhang Dong nodded firmly: "It's okay. I just can't stand the cowardice of these bastards. They look so high and mighty, as if we can't buy cutting-edge equipment without them. I don't know where they get their confidence."
"Hey bro, you saw it yourself, I was furious too."
"But their manufacturing process and product quality are just better than those of domestic products. Whether you agree or not, the facts are there."
Zhang Dong knew that Brother Fa was right, and he could also see that Brother Fa wanted to resolve his business deal quickly.
So she smiled at him and said, "Since you've taken my referral fee, you have to find me a company I can trust."
Brother Fa looked troubled: "Brother, these foreign companies are all the same. To put it bluntly, they don't take us seriously at all."
