Chapter 1007: Be Careful When Asking for Money
When An Quantao heard this, he rolled his eyes to the sky.
"You little bastard are really good at pretending."
"President Zheng is right. Chinese watermelons are no match for our big country's watermelons. But when we go out, we have to overcome some difficulties."
Zheng Zai Pu carefully wrapped the watermelon in front of him and put it away. Then he said to An Quantao.
"During the negotiations, you must all follow my instructions and do not act on your own and disrupt the progress of the negotiations."
An Quantao nodded and said, "That's right... I will listen to the president in everything."
After Zheng Jae-puk gave his instructions, he stood up and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, An Quantao reminded, "President...fruit...I forgot to take the fruit."
Zheng Zai Pu said with an unhappy look on his face, "I'm not full yet. I'll go get some more bread, snacks, eggs and milk."
An Quantao looked at the small hill of more than ten egg shells on the table, a small bowl of watermelon seeds, seven or eight empty plates, and four or five empty bowls, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.
After finishing two rounds of breakfast, Zheng Zaipu left the restaurant satisfied.
When he left, his backpack was filled with food he had taken from the restaurant.
The negotiation meeting between the Korean Construction Union and Daqin International was held in the hotel's conference room.
A delegation of 109 people from the Korean Construction Union came.
But the actual number of people attending the meeting was only nine key management personnel.
The other one hundred people are family members brought by the management.
They are taking advantage of the free charter flight and are not attending the conference.
Jung Jae-Puk and eight other people walked toward the conference room.
On the way, he felt sick to his stomach.
My stomach is always rumbling.
In the elevator, Zheng Jae Park farted one after another.
The person traveling with him almost suffered internal injuries.
Zheng Zaipu complained, "Shit... I'm old, and my digestive system is not good. I only ate a little bit, and my stomach is not cooperating."
An Quantao complained in his heart.
Ah Xi Ba... You ate as much as a pig. If you didn't die of fullness, it must be because your digestive system is out of control. How dare you say you only eat a little.
Zheng Zaipu said to everyone, "Hey, I'm going to the bathroom, you guys go in first."
Naturally, everyone was speechless.
Zheng Zai Pu squeezed his buttocks and hurried into the bathroom.
As soon as he sat down, he was like a mountain torrent, rushing thousands of miles away.
"Those Koreans came so early? They are really proactive."
"They are here to ask for money, how can we not be proactive..."
Two people who were squatting in the room next to Zheng Zaipu came in.
In his early years, Zheng Zaipu worked as a trader between South Korea and China.
His Mandarin listening level is at the level of a sixth-grade student in a Chinese elementary school.
"Shit... We are here to fight for our legitimate rights, but the Chinese dare to say that we are here to beg for money. Do they mean that we Koreans are beggars!"
Zheng Zai Pu originally wanted to curse loudly, but then he thought about it and realized that he was in China.
What if the other party blocked me in the toilet, beat me up, and forced me to eat shit?
So he could only complain in his heart.
"If those Koreans come to negotiate a pay raise, will our boss agree?"
"Of course I agree. Think about it. Our Daqin International has invested 2 trillion US dollars in South Korea! How can we stop such an important investment just like that?"
"You're right. I heard that our group loses tens of millions every day during the shutdown period!"
"Yes, rather than arguing with the Koreans, the boss would rather resume work quickly and catch up with the project schedule. Compared with the losses caused by the suspension of work, their request for a salary increase is a small matter."
"That makes sense. Hey, you work in the president's office, have you heard any rumors?"
"What's the news?"
"How much salary increase can our boss accept?"
"Shh... This is confidential. Be careful, there may be ears."
"Hey, what are you afraid of? We are speaking Mandarin. The Koreans can't understand us. Today's translator is also a Chinese, so he won't leak any information. Just tell us how much our boss is willing to increase your salary."
"The proposal from the Korean side is to increase wages by 10%."
"Ah? Just 10%? Why would you come all the way here? You can agree to this directly over the phone."
"You don't understand. If you easily agree to their offer over the phone, and they turn around and think that you've quoted a low price, they're at a loss! And then they go on strike again to ask for a pay raise, can you handle it as the boss?"
"You have a point."
"Haha, you don't know how brightly the boss smiled when he saw the other party's request."
"Ah? Why are you laughing?"
"I can tell you don't care about the Korean economy. Everyone in Korea is speculating in stocks now, and everyone is making money by lying down. No one is willing to go out to work. Think about it, you work hard at a construction site and earn about 2 Chinese yuan a month. If you lie at home and speculate in stocks, you can also make 2. Would you choose to go to work or speculate in stocks?"
"Of course it's stock trading!"
"Well, actually our group is short of workers, and the shortage is severe. At that time, they were on strike, and the boss was ready to raise their wages by 100%...but later on, it turned out to be only a 10% increase. If you were the boss, would you be laughing out loud?"
"Hahahahaha, if it were me, I would laugh too. These stupid Koreans are so cautious even when begging for money. As expected, they are narrow-minded and timid."
"Ha ha ha ha..."
"Hey, what if the Koreans suddenly raise the price during the negotiation today? What should we do?"
"The boss will certainly have a plan to deal with it."
"What's the solution?"
"You have to know that there are bosses behind the boss, and there is more than one. What they want now is to resume work as soon as possible. As for salary, it is no problem for the other party to increase it by 10%, 20%, or even 100%!"
"Ah? What did you say? 100% no problem? Is this true..."
"Shh, of course it's true. You don't really think that the big bosses make money from these projects, do you?"
"if not?"
"They are dealing with finance! A one point fluctuation in that stuff means hundreds of millions. Compared with the workers' wages, it is nothing. What the bosses want now is that all projects are stable and the Korean stock market continues to rise so that they can make money. So, the bosses will try their best to appease their emotions. They are just on strike now. If they are not appeased, they will resign collectively and quit their jobs. The big bosses will suffer a huge loss!"
"Oh, I see. I see. I see."
After listening to the sound of water flushing in the pit next door and the footsteps gradually fading away.
Zheng Zai Pu stood up angrily, "Shit! The Chinese are so cunning... It seems that I am still too weak towards them!"
As Zheng Jae-pak was pulling up his pants in anger, he suddenly felt his shoes were wet.
He looked down and exclaimed, "Wow!"
The toilet was clogged by the operation I just did.
The shit and urine overflowed directly into the toilet and covered his shoes...
