Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 359: A Bright Future
Dongchen Advertising, conference room.

Xu Chen, Nie Fei, Zhou Junjun, Sun Aimei, and Gu Xinxin.

While eating fruit, several people were discussing the midsole material.

Zhou Junjun chewed an apple and added:

"In addition to Nike and Li Ning, there are others involved in the talks.

There are new materials on the market, and several leading brands are basically keeping an eye on them...

Even if I didn't know about it originally, I basically just let it go when I heard that Nike was following up.

Therefore, Wanrong Materials has a high level of negotiating power.”

Nie Fei: "If we really want to take it down, it's not completely impossible, but the price we pay might be very high..."

Xu Chen: “For example?”

Nie Fei: "What the other party wants is nothing more than long-term, stable, large orders. In the final analysis, it is still a question of profit...

What we can bring out for negotiation is either a bet agreement or an equity exchange...

It means taking out a portion of the shares of Ranbing Sports."

Xu Chen simply waved his hand and gave a negative conclusion.

"Do they know this is Xie Bingran's brand?"

Nie Fei: “I know, we have also made relevant promotions.

They had previously taken orders for sports brands, so they were still paying attention to sports events, and naturally knew about Xie Bingran, a rising star in China.

But overall, they still cannot have firm expectations for Xie Bingran's future track performance and commercial value.

So, don’t dare to gamble with us.”

……

Xu Chen couldn't help but frowned.

At present, the most preferred midsole material solution has reached a deadlock.

He picked up the color page on the table again and flipped through it carefully.

This company called "Wanrong Materials" is the exclusive supplier of this "TPU foam solution"...

Xu Chen was flipping through the company introduction in the brochure, but suddenly he was stunned.

On the company introduction page, there is a blue cartoon character, which is the mascot of "Wanrong Materials".

I just glanced at it and felt like I had seen it somewhere before, but now I suddenly remembered...

Nie Fei continued, “The design company has been connected, so the midsole material needs to be decided as soon as possible.

I'm thinking about visiting their boss again this week or next week...

If we really can’t get it, we have to use the alternative plan.”

Zhou Junjun nodded:
“Among the candidates, Meirui New Materials ranked second.

Their EVA secondary foaming material is also considered to be quite good in the industry.

However, it has already been mass-produced and applied in some mid- and low-end products of Li Ning and Anta.

It’s hard for us to see that as a unique product selling point.”

……

Xu Chen pondered for a moment, and suddenly said:

"Perhaps Wanrong Materials can still be obtained..."

Nie Fei was stunned for a moment, frowning with a puzzled look on his face.

Zhou Junjun turned around and glanced at Nie Fei, not knowing what "Mr. Xu" meant.

In fact, in the eyes of Nie Fei and Zhou Junjun, the possibility of negotiating Wan Rong's materials is very slim.

Both of them are considered "insiders" in the sports category, and naturally have a deeper understanding of the market than Xu Chen.

Judging from the current comprehensive information, the chances of "Ranbing Sports" and "Wanrong Materials" reaching a cooperation are very small.

It is even possible that Wanrong Materials has signed an exclusive cooperation agreement with a sports brand, but it is still in the confidentiality period and has not been announced to the public.

……

Xu Chen smiled and said:
“My dad will listen to whatever I say, right?

Even if what I said doesn’t make sense at first…”

Nie Fei was a little confused, but still said seriously:
"Mr. Xu, everyone should listen to you."

Xu Chen nodded:

"Wait for me for a moment. I'm going to confirm something."

He stood up and said to Gu Xinxin:
"Xinxin, use your computer."

Gu Xinxin responded, stood up and followed him out.

When he arrived at the workstation, Gu Xinxin unlocked the computer screen and gave the seat to Xu Chen.

In the conference room, Nie Fei and others looked at each other, really confused about the situation.

Xu Chen held the brochure of "Wanrong Materials" in his hand, opened the page and searched for relevant information.

"Wanrong Materials" is indeed very strong.

Producing and supplying high-tech materials across industries, the annual turnover has exceeded one billion...

On the official website of "Wanrong Materials", Xu Chen flipped through the news and found Wanrong's "boss", an entrepreneur named Su Qitai.

He stared at it, frowned and thought about it.

Then I logged into QQ and found a group photo in a QQ space.

……

……

A few minutes later, Nie Fei and Zhou Junjun were already standing behind Xu Chen.

Xu Chen pointed at the photo on the screen:

"This is Wan Rong's boss, Su Qitai, right?"

Nie Fei nodded: "That's right.

This time we visited him and had a few words in person.

But the specific communication was with his vice president.”

Xu Chen flipped through another photo of a father and daughter in his QQ space, pointed at the little girl and said:

"This is Su Qitai's daughter, her name is Su Rong, and she happens to be in our class..."

Zhou Junjun: “Ah?”

Nie Fei: “Is it such a coincidence?”

Zhou Junjun: “Is it true?”

The little girl in the photo is Su Rong, the "cultural and arts committee member" of Xu Chen's class.

"..."

I've heard that Su Rong is a "rich girl from Su Province". I didn't expect she is really "rich". Her family's business has an annual revenue of over 10 billion...

Xu Chen felt that the blue cartoon mascot of "Wanrong Materials" looked somewhat familiar.

I finally remembered it just now. I saw it on Su Rong's backpack.

Su Rong has a light pink MK backpack with a few cute little pendants hanging on it.

During a class committee meeting, Xu Chen took a few special glances.

Xu Chen recognized most of those pendants, Chibi Maruko-chan, Doraemon, Hello Kitty...

The only one I don’t recognize is the blue cartoon mascot of “Wanrong Materials” that I see at this moment.

Of course, what Xu Chen said in the conference room just now was just guessing.

After checking the news and finding the photos in Su Rong's space, my guess was completely confirmed.

Su Rong is actually the biological daughter of Su Qitai, the founder of Wanrong Materials.

It turns out that this weak and soft-spoken arts committee member in the same class is actually an extremely important "young lady".

……

Nie Fei and Zhou Junjun looked at each other, and a hint of surprise appeared on their faces instantly.

They also instantly understood why Xu Chen had asked that inexplicable question just now:
"My dad will probably listen to whatever I say..."

So if we can deal with this Miss Su, can we also deal with Su Qitai?
"Wanrong Materials" is a private enterprise that has not yet been listed, so the boss has the final say in decision-making.

Nie Fei smiled and said, "So you have a good relationship with the daughter of the Su family?"

Zhou Junjun showed a look of joy and patted Xu Chen on the shoulder:

"Could it be that this daughter of the Su family has been having an affair with you?
Sure, Mr. Xu...

I think this is a match made in heaven!"

Xu Chen: “…”

Sun Amy: “???”

Gu Xinxin: “?!”

Xu Chen pondered for a moment and said:
“I’m actually not very familiar with this Miss Su.

We are just nodding acquaintances at school..."

He paused, then smiled and said, "But she is a fan of Brother Bing. She even said she would book her own flight to go to Doha to watch Brother Bing's game!"

He stroked his chin and recalled the scene he had accidentally seen before:
"She should like Brother Bing very much...

Otherwise, it would be impossible to set the wallpaper of my phone to the poster of Brother Bing."

Zhou Junjun turned around and glanced at Nie Fei, but laughed out loud:
"It's all done without any effort! It's wonderful!"

He patted Xu Chen's shoulder:

"Mr. Xu is really lucky. God is helping you in business!"

Xu Chen: “…”

Nie Fei looked at Xu Chen:

"So…is there a chance we can talk through this little girl?"

Xu Chen: “It’s hard to say, we have to try it.

It depends on whether his father, Su Qitai, is like my father and listens to me completely...

Of course, it also depends on whether we can convince Miss Su Rong."

Nie Fei nodded:

"How do you plan to arrange it? Do you need our cooperation?"

Xu Chen pondered and whispered to himself:

"Perhaps, it can also add some bargaining chips."

He flipped through the official website of "Wanrong Materials" again and pointed.

Zhou Junjun took a closer look and saw some product introductions of Wanrong Materials.

The one Xu Chen pointed to was a kind of "polymer engineering plastic".

Zhou Junjun: "What do you mean?"

Xu Chen: "If I remember correctly...

When I was in the factory, I heard Director Yang introduce the product plan, and the electric car plastic parts he mentioned were made of this material. "

Nie Fei had already reacted and smiled happily:
"Very good……

If we can discuss the electric vehicle plastic parts order together, the chances of winning it will be much higher!"

Zhou Junjun is still a little confused:

"What are you talking about?"

Zhou Junjun still knows very little about "Morning Wind Technology".

Nie Fei smiled and gave Zhou Junjun a brief account of the situation of the "Morning Breeze Electric Vehicle".

Zhou Junjun laughed out loud again, patted Xu Chen on the shoulder, and said with a smile:
"Mr. Xu, you are truly a man of luck!"

Xu Chen thought for a moment and said, “I need to confirm this with Director Yang.

One is whether Wanrong's engineering plastics can meet the requirements.

Second, can we transfer the purchase here..."

Nie Fei: "Let me confirm this communication!

The last time I went to Tiancheng, I became very familiar with Director Yang. "

Xu Chen nodded: "I'll call my dad this afternoon too."

Nie Fei: “Okay!”

Xu Chen: “Find a way to get the daughter of the Su family and ask her to help us convince her father.

If we add the engineering plastics purchase orders...

This matter feels a little more certain.”

Zhou Junjun looked very optimistic:
"It's more than just a little more certain, I think this thing has already been done!

Brother Bing is so handsome, he must have charmed that little girl..."

Xu Chen: “…”

In this case, the midsole material problem that was originally at a loss for a solution suddenly seemed to be "solved".

It's really an inexplicable turn of events.

……

……

In the afternoon, I had a boring "Communication" theory class.

Xu Chen was sitting in the back row of the class and couldn't help but look forward.

The person he saw was naturally Su Rong.

Just now during the break, I confirmed again that the blue cartoon pendant on Su Rong’s MK bag is the mascot of “Wanrong Materials”.

Xu Chen was staring at Su Rong's back during class, and suddenly felt something strange, so he quickly shifted his gaze back.

I still need to think carefully about how to talk to Su Rong and communicate.

It’s better not to be too deliberate…

I feel a little regretful. If I had known earlier, I should have participated in more class committee activities and established a good relationship with Su Rong in advance.

However, it was indeed impossible to predict in advance that the key to solving the midsole material problem turned out to be the weak and timid arts committee member in the class.

……

During the afternoon break, Xu Chen sent several text messages to his father Xu Zhiquan to update them on the general situation.

Xu Zhiquan knew this was an important matter and immediately replied:
[I will talk to Director Yang right away. You can ask Nie Fei to communicate with Director Yang.]

……

……

In the evening, the academy cafeteria.

Xu Chen and a few roommates ordered food and chatted while eating.

Qian Xin, the "Little Prince of Jiangsu and Zhejiang", was laughing beside him, and Xu Chen said:

"Mr. Qian, have you arranged for your visa and travel to attend the Asian Games?"

Qian Xin was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xu Chen with a smile:

"Oh my! Is Boss Xu coming too? That would be great!"

Xu Chen: "I'm thinking about it!"

Qian Xin: "It's great that we have more people to accompany us!
My tourist visa has been processed, but my business trip has not been confirmed yet!"

He glanced at Huang Hao:

"Huang Hao won the college's quota...

I want to check out the college's travel arrangements, it's almost set for a certain time!
Following the academy, I feel more reliable.”

Huang Hao said jokingly:

"Boss Qian is also worried about the bad public security abroad?"

Qian Xin smiled and said:

“My main problem is that my spoken English is so poor that I’m afraid I won’t be able to communicate with people when I go out!

With the academy, at least there is a unified arrangement."

What you said is reasonable.

Xu Chen: "Where's Su Rong? Same arrangement as you?"

Qian Xin was stunned for a moment, glanced at Chen Wenyi who was eating silently across the table, and said:

"I haven't communicated with Su Rong yet, so we have to avoid suspicion..."

Chen Wenyi swallowed a mouthful of rice, but suddenly said:

"Boss Qian... don't be shy, I know there's nothing wrong between you two.

Besides, Su Rong has clearly rejected me, and I have already given up on her."

Qian Xin smiled and handed an unopened can of Sprite to Chen Wenyi.

Chen Wenyi showed a trace of embarrassment and said, "Thank you!"

Qian Xin: "Then I will send a message to Su Rong to give her feedback later. I guess she is still waiting for my reply!

Anyway, if she needs my help booking tickets or something, I'll help her with that.

After all, she is a girl, so she needs to be taken care of more."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was teased by his two roommates, Huang Hao and Pei Qian.

Xu Chen listened quietly, but was thinking in his heart that Miss Su's trip to the Asian Games could be used as a reason and opportunity for communication.

……

Xu Chen thought about it again and left a message in the company group:
[Teacher Xinxin, please help me print some materials tomorrow morning.

Communicate with Miss Su Rong, it may be useful. 】

Gu Xinxin: [Okay, boss. Please leave a message with the specific materials. I will deal with them tomorrow morning.]
