Chapter 1896 Parting on bad terms

Levin's expression changed slightly, obviously a little surprised.

He nodded and said, "We invited you here today to discuss our cooperation."

Pi Yangyang said calmly: "Cooperation between us? Mr. Levin, has the Grey Group decided to cooperate with the Yan Group?"

Levin said with some pride: "Yes, this is the first time that our Gray Group has cooperated with a Chinese company. Mr. Pi should feel very honored."

Pi Yangyang curled his lips and smiled, "Yes, I'm honored. But... I don't think I've decided to cooperate with the Grey Group yet?"

Levin was startled and looked at Stotchi hesitantly.

Shi Duochi quickly said, "Mr. Levin, Mr. Pi and I have only discussed a preliminary intention. Mr. Pi came to the foggy city this time to get a comprehensive understanding of our group and finally determine whether to cooperate."

Levin's face darkened slightly, and he said in a somewhat cold tone: "So, Mr. Pi hasn't considered whether to cooperate with my Gray Group?"

Pi Yangyang said slowly, "That's understandable. However, I'm very interested in developing the E country market, and even the entire European market."

Levin uncrossed his hands, pressed them on the edge of the table, looked at Pi Yangyang and said, "To expand into the European market, there's no better choice than Grey Group. Grey Group is the largest pharmaceutical company in Country E and is also among the top three in Europe. Mr. Pi, if you can choose Grey Group, it will be your wisest choice."

"As for the scale of the Gray Group, I think there's no need for Mr. Levin to emphasize it deliberately. I already have an understanding of it. If you really intend to cooperate with my Yan Group, I would like to hear the content and conditions of the cooperation."

Pi Yangyang said in a calm tone.

Levin thought for a moment and said, "I think Mr. Stotchi has discussed the details of the cooperation with you. We are optimistic about the 'Xuekang' produced by Ono Pharmaceutical in Country J. In addition, Mr. Stotchi has also conducted research on other products of Yan's Company. He pointed out that Yan's Tinghao Women's Body Shaping Pill and the Menglong Pill produced by your wife's company, Su Group, have both performed well in the market and are also included in our cooperation considerations..."

"Well, it seems Mr. Levin has a very comprehensive understanding of the Yan Group and my related companies. Indeed, these three products have indeed achieved a good market share and reputation. They are also the main products launched by my group and are ready to enter the international market."

Pi Yangyang nodded, paused for a moment, and then continued, "However, Mr. Levin still hasn't made it clear what you want to cooperate with."

Levin thought for a moment and said, "The content of the cooperation is very simple. Our Gray Group will obtain the European general agent authorization for these three products."

"Is that all?" Pi Yangyang asked suspiciously, "What about the method of cooperation?"

"According to the opinion of our group's board of directors, our group and Yan's Group will adopt a combination of agency and processing to carry out comprehensive cooperation and jointly develop and expand the European market."

Levin said simply.

Delis on the side raised her eyelids slightly and hesitated for a moment before translating.

After listening to this, Pi Yangyang asked, somewhat puzzled, "Agency and processing cooperation? Can you elaborate on this?"

Levin seemed to be in high spirits, and he said eloquently, "This is not difficult to understand. It is also the basic framework for our Grey Group's cooperation with many overseas companies. In other words, our cooperation is not just a simple agency sales. Instead, our group will build a factory and set up a production line in Europe, and the Yan Group will provide technical support for the three cooperative products. We will then produce and sell them on behalf of the group."

"In this way, we can greatly save transportation costs, storage costs, tariff costs and loss costs, in order to maximize profits."

Pi Yangyang immediately understood that this was the condition that Gray Group had originally offered to Ono Pharmaceutical.

In reality, they wanted to obtain the Xuekang, Menglongdan, and Tinghao formulas, so they could produce and sell them themselves, while the Yan Group could only take a portion of the profits.

"Of course, there is a second option, which is for Grey Group to finance Yan's and become a shareholder of Yan's Group. This would deepen our cooperation to a certain extent and reduce certain costs."

Without waiting for Pi Yangyang to express his opinion, Levin continued.

He spoke the whole time in a very proud tone, as if it had already been decided and Pi Yangyang would definitely agree.

After hearing the following words, Pi Yangyang couldn't help laughing.

Levin is really dreaming. He really thinks that their Gray Group is the number one pharmaceutical group in Country E, so he wants to get Yan's products for free and even wants to infiltrate its equity. He thinks he is a piece of cake.

Seeing Pi Yangyang smile, Levin's expression condensed and asked: "Mr. Pi, what do you think of the method I mentioned?"

Pi Yangyang didn't answer. Instead, he looked at him strangely and asked calmly, "Is this your personal opinion, or has your group already formed an opinion?"

"I represent the Grey Group, so you can understand this as the group's opinion."

Levin said proudly.

"So, Mr. Levin, do you think I will agree to the cooperation method you mentioned?" Pi Yangyang asked playfully.

Levin crossed his hands again and said in a condescending tone: "Mr. Pi, you are well aware of the strength of our Grey Group. If your products want to enter Country E, or even the whole of Europe, you will never find a more powerful partner than our Grey Group.

"The cooperation method I proposed is based on strength. I think Mr. Pi should understand that only our Grey Group can lead the Yan Group to expand into the entire European market, and even the American and European markets."

Pi Yangyang laughed again, looking at Levin with disdain, his tone not disguising his sarcasm, "Based on strength? You mean, your Gray Group's strength is enough to make the Yan Group put aside their dignity and kneel down to give you the formula, and even thank you?"

Levin's eyes remained arrogant, and he maintained a condescending attitude and said, "Mr. Pi, you don't have to make a decision so hastily. You can go back and have a good discussion with your shareholders. I believe that our cooperation will be successful."

Pi Yangyang suddenly stood up, stared at Levin and said, "Mr. Levin, I don't know where you get the confidence to think I must succumb to your so-called strength. If we really want to talk about strength, I have one thing to say: your Gray Group is not qualified to be so high and mighty."

Delis translated this passage very quickly, and she seemed a little excited.

Levin, Stotchi, and Janet all showed surprise on their faces, as if they had not expected Pi Yangyang to react like this.

"Iron Ox, Delis, let's go."

Pi Yangyang was no longer in the mood to stay for dinner.

As the saying goes, if you don't agree, there's no need to waste time talking to these arrogant Westerners.

Stotchi shouted in surprise: "Mr. Pi, please stay!"

Pi Yangyang walked to the door, turned his head and glanced, his eyes fell on Levin, and said disdainfully: "Mr. Levin, if you want to negotiate, you must be equal in status. And you are just a vice president of Gray Group. You are not qualified to negotiate with me on an equal footing."

After saying that, without any hesitation, he left the private room with Tie Niu and Delis and walked directly out of the restaurant.

"Fake!"

In the private room, Levin's angry roar and the sound of him slamming the table could be heard.

"This Chinese is too arrogant!"

Then he yelled at the embarrassed Stotch.

Shi Duochi didn't dare to say anything more and could only spread his hands helplessly.

After leaving the restaurant, Delis clearly felt a sense of hostility from Pi Yangyang and knew that he was still angry.

Levin's arrogance just now was indeed unbearable for most people.

However, he also knew that white people always had a condescending attitude in front of Orientals, always feeling that they were superior.

It just so happens that many Asians agree with this view. Many people in Southeast Asian countries even kneel down when they see white people.

But Levin was arrogant in front of Pi Yangyang, so he was targeting the wrong person.

Although some Chinese people today still have the idea that foreigners are superior to others.

But the vast majority have begun to wake up and realize that they are no less inferior than those "foreign masters", and that the former "foreign masters" were not much more noble.

"Mr. Pi, you don't have to be angry. Even without the Grey Group, there are other companies we can cooperate with. We might gain something from tomorrow's symposium."

Delis comforted her as she started the car.

Pi Yangyang smiled calmly, "I'm not angry, I just think it's a little ridiculous."

"Where are we going to eat?" Delis asked, changing the subject.

Tie Niu rushed to say, "Let's go to Chinatown, there's barbecue there..."
