Chapter 56 The art of language, how to translate
"Mr. Thors, do you know anything about Zmelmann Warehousing Company in the suburbs of Munich?" Gu Qing then started a formal business conversation.
However, as I said before, fate is always wonderful.
Torsi's eyes lit up, and he said, "Mr. Zmelmann was a client of our law firm back then."
"Oh? What a coincidence?"
"Yes, there was a fire in Zmelmann's warehouse ten years ago. At that time, my mentor won the insurance lawsuit for Mr. Zmelmann, which saved Zmelmann from bankruptcy."
"Oh? It seems that there is a story about the fire?" Gu Qing asked with a smile. After all, the face of the German insurance company is still guaranteed, and the premium will not be blacked out.
"I don't know the specifics of this, sorry."
Will he not know about the case of his mentor?
No, it's just a requirement of professional ethics, or in other words, the benefits are not big, so it's not worth mentioning.
"Then do you know that the current boss of Zmelmann Storage Company wants to sell the company?" Gu Qing then asked.
"How is it possible? Zmelmann Warehousing Company is Mr. Zmelmann's family business."
Thors was a little surprised.
The Germans or Europeans have a possessive desire for the family business, just like the possessive desire of the kings from all over the country before the unification of China.
"Nothing is impossible. Now the head of the Zmelmann storage company is the grandson of the old Mr. Zmelmann. It is only natural for the young master to want to lose the sunset industry and get funds for other industries. "
"Then, Mr. Gu, wait for ten minutes, and I will inquire about the sale of the Zmailmann storage company."
"Of course, you should be busy." Giving money is for people to do things, so Gu Qing took a sip of the coffee calmly, felt a bit bitter, and put down the coffee again.
Tuo Ersi nodded, then got up and walked outside the store, and started making phone calls.
This is the advantage of cooperating with a powerful law firm. There are contacts available whether in the public office or in the dark. After all, a lawyer will always be useful in this life.
Seeing Torsi nodding in various ways outside, taking out a small notebook to write and draw from time to time, Gu Qing picked up the coffee again and took a sip.
Made, still bitter.
"The Zmelmann Storage Company is still providing warehousing services for furniture stores around Munich. However, due to the reduction in business, most of the employees have been dismissed. The current number of employees is 30, and they plan to dismiss some employees. It can be seen that Its business situation is indeed in trouble.
Mr. Zmelmann Jr. does intend to sell the family business, and because of the layoffs and salary cuts some time ago, Zmelmann's company is facing several lawsuits.
But even so, the price that Mr. Zmailmann revealed to the outside world is still no less than two million euros..." Tuo Ersi picked up his notebook and introduced it to Gu Qing one by one,
That's right, Germany uses euros, two million euros is more than 15 million yuan (roughly 7.5 exchange rate in 2017)
"Two million euros? Does it include the warehouse and land of the storage company?" Gu Qing asked.
Tulls nodded with a smile, and said with a kind of confidence in the nation: "Yes, the warehouse, the land, and the previous company's business are all sold. The price of two million euros was definitely more than ten years ago."
"So you just want to find a taker when you're down, and you want to get rid of the money-losing business?" Gu Qing said with a playful expression.
"I'm sorry Mr. Gu, I don't know the loss of the specific business that Zmelmann Storage Company currently retains, but I want to apologize to you." Torsi stood up and bowed halfway.
Although the larger the transaction amount, the more small money he will get, but the most important thing is to ensure that the transaction is completed.
In order to support his family, he felt that he could no longer seduce this shrewd fox-like Chinese man.
"I accept your apology, Mr. Torsi, but I think you should ask about the situation again, and try to find out the real psychological price of the other party, otherwise I may not have so long to discuss this business.
After all, you should know that I will be going back to Daxia soon. "
Gu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and said.
What I want to express roughly is: If you want to make money, give the labor and management a good job and do it quickly, otherwise the labor and management will leave in a few days, and you will not get anything except a little entrustment money, you idiot Don't know?
"Then please allow me another ten minutes, I need more information."
"please."
Gu Qing waved his hand and didn't say much.
Seeing that Tuo Ersi went out to make a phone call again, he closed his eyes.
Humans always like routines, both in business and part-time jobs, so can’t we be more sincere with less routines?
In order to make more money, wasting everyone's time is really... a waste of my time.
After a while, Torsi returned to his seat.
This time, his expression was much more sincere, and there were fewer pleasantries in his words.
"The loss-making business of Zmelmann Storage Company mainly comes from the furniture and other materials placed by previous customers. These things need special care, adjust the humidity from time to time, and occupy a lot of warehouse storage space.
Zmelmann Storage Company currently owns a company real estate covering an area of more than 105 mu, with an available storage area of 51,142 square meters. Mr. Gu, if you want to acquire Zmelmann Storage Company, then I personally suggest that you can keep the current The general manager of the company, Kohler Hay Mann, because he is a good manager with noble character and leadership ability. "
What does it mean to be a good manager with high moral character and leadership skills?
A person who is free from the taints of corruption and bribery is called a noble character.
Without him, more than half of the workers would leave, which is called leadership.
Translate again, that is to say: You don’t want this person, the Zmailman storage company, buying it is equivalent to buying an empty shell, and the workers make trouble, and you can’t manage it. I’m afraid you want to go back to the country. It's troublesome, and if you don't know the place where you live, it's hard to tell if something happens.
"Well, for the employees and managers of Zmelmann Storage Company, I have no intention of dismissing them for the time being, so you don't have to worry about it. Of course, you can also tell your friends that I invest with a sincere heart. My company has a good output of products in Daxia, so I need a storage place that can take care of the products for me, and there are old employees who are familiar with the business, which is what I wish for.”
Torsi nodded in agreement, and said, "I know Mr. Gu, you are a good person, and Daxia's investment in our Germany often does not liquidate employees, so we welcome Daxia's investment."
