Reborn in the 1970s, Zhang Sanniu's new life

The next day, San Niu and Liu Hao got up, washed up, and then ate breakfast!

"Sweetie, drink some millet porridge. Auntie cooked it especially for you. She said millet porridge is warming, and if you drink it now, your tummy won't hurt anymore," Liu Hao said!

“Really? Then I’ll have to drink more!” San Niu said.

"Liu Hao, you have a call. Go answer it right away. It says it's the manager of the parts factory. Zhang Laosan, come in and say something!"

"Okay, I'll go right away. It'll probably be about a collaboration," Liu Hao said before heading out.

After a while, Liu Hao returned and said, "Honey, the parts manager will be coming over later to discuss long-term cooperation with us!"

“Alright! Let’s talk! Oh, and call Wang Jun and Huang Xuan and ask them to come over. Didn’t they want to study? Let them come over and learn properly,” San Niu said.

"Okay, I'll go call them now." Liu Hao ate his bun and went to make the call!

"Dad, you can go to the housing management office this afternoon. We need to discuss business there," San Niu said.

"Alright, anyway, this isn't in a rush. You guys talk business first, Zhang Laosan, you can speak first!"

"Okay, Dad, after you finish eating, go to the store and buy a hot water bottle and some more brown sugar. Have Mom make some ginger candy for me; I'm not feeling well," San Niu said.

"Okay, I'll go after I eat. If you're not feeling well, go lie down right after you finish eating," Zhang Laosan said.

"Okay, I know, Dad. Go eat quickly, or the food will get cold," San Niu said!

Zhang Laosan hurried off to eat!

After Liu Hao finished his phone call, he came back and continued eating!

San Niu said, "Brother Hao, don't go to the store. I've asked my dad to go. From now on, the fruit business will be shut down, and all the people who used to load the goods will be reassigned to work at the electronics factory."

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements after we finish eating. Once everything's settled, I'll come back right away, otherwise the manager of the parts factory will be here soon, Liu Hao said!"

“Okay, then you drive there. Driving is fast. I’ll eat and change my clothes. When you introduce me later, say I’m the chairman,” San Niu said.

"Honey, I know. Eat quickly, don't let it get cold," Liu Hao said!

After San Niu and Liu Hao finished eating, Liu Hao went to the electronics factory!

San Niu changed her clothes and dressed up a bit. Then she sat at the table and started writing down the details of the upcoming cooperation meeting.

Once San Niu finished writing, she stopped caring about it, picked up a book, and started reading!

After a while, Wang Jun and Huang Xuan came in!

Wang Jun said, "San Niu, when is the parts manager coming?!"

"They said it's a little after eight, we should be there soon," San Niu said.

"San Niu, those two factories weren't willing to pay a deposit, so we didn't agree to sell to them, and the deal fell through," Huang Xuan said.

“Okay, I understand! If it didn’t work out, so be it. Anyway, the fruit business won’t last much longer. In the next few days, if anyone wants to buy, we should ask them to pay a deposit first. If they don’t pay, we’d rather not do the order than take the risk of doing business with them. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, we’ll all lose money,” San Niu said.

"We understand!" Wang Jun said.

“We’ll stop the fruit business from now on, but we’ll continue the dried shrimp business. No deposit is required for the dried shrimp; anyone who wants the goods can have them. But when it’s time to deliver, you must make sure they inspect the goods box by box. After they’ve finished inspecting the goods, you collect the money and come back to us. This is to prevent them from causing us trouble later,” San Niu said.

“Okay, we’ll do as you say, don’t worry!” Wang Jun said.

“Yes, you guys be careful. This will save us a lot of trouble in the future. Only after they have inspected the goods will they have no excuse to cause trouble. This way, we can reduce our losses. Otherwise, if someone wants to harm us, we will be at a disadvantage, and we will be in a lot of trouble. Do you understand? So no matter what we do, we must do it perfectly and not give others the opportunity to harm us,” San Niu said.

“I know, and I understand what you mean. You’re afraid that others might try to harm us and cause us trouble, which is why you had them inspect the goods,” Huang Xuan said.

“Yes, that’s exactly what I mean. We should still be careful and cautious,” San Niu said.

"Okay, don't worry, we'll do as you say," Wang Jun said.

"Okay, everyone sit down and wait a bit. The manager should be here soon," San Niu said.

After a while, Liu Hao arrived with the parts manager!

Liu Hao introduced, "Let me introduce you. This is Manager Zhao from the machinery factory. Manager Zhao, this is Chairman Zhang from our electrical appliance factory, this is Deputy Manager Wang, and that is Manager Huang from the sales department!"

"Hello Chairman Zhang, hello both of you, this is the manager of the machinery factory!"

"Hello, please sit down. Everyone, please sit down and let's talk. After San Niu finishes speaking, please sit in the seat of honor!"

Liu Hao poured a cup of tea for everyone and said, "Chairman, please have some tea!"

"Oh, thank you, Manager Liu. Please have a seat. Let's start discussing cooperation now. Manager Zhao, how many machines does your factory have? How many parts can you produce per day?" San Niu asked.

"There are three machines in the factory, and they can produce more than 600 parts a day," Manager Zhao replied.

“Only three machines, and only six hundred parts produced in one day? That’s far too little. It falls far short of our requirements. With your factory’s capabilities, if you want to cooperate with us long-term, your capabilities are not up to our standards,” San Niu said.

"Then what can we do to meet your requirements?" Manager Zhao asked nervously.

"That's a good question. If your factory wants to cooperate with us, you'll need to add at least three more machines. Otherwise, you won't be producing enough parts, which will directly affect our subsequent work. Without parts, we can't do anything, right?" San Niu said.

“Yes, yes, but buying three more machines would cost five or six hundred thousand. Our factory doesn’t have the money to buy machines right now. Chairman Zhang, could you please make an exception and let us postpone it until we have the money later?” Manager Zhao said.

San Niu looked at Manager Zhao and said, “Manager Zhao, it’s not that I don’t want to make an exception, it’s just that time doesn’t allow it! Time is very important to us and to you right now. The more products we can produce each day, the more money we can earn. So time is money. We can’t just sit and wait for time to pass by, wasting it day by day.”

Upon hearing San Niu's words, Manager Zhao panicked and quickly said, "Chairman, what can we do? We just bought one machine and have no money to buy three more. Chairman, we are truly eager to cooperate with you. Please be lenient, please help us! Otherwise, we will go bankrupt!"

San Niu waited a while before speaking, "Manager Zhao, I know it's not easy for you, but you really don't have enough machines. They don't meet our requirements at all. However, I can help you pay for three more machines, but in the future, the price of the products you sell to us must be 15% lower. This will be better for both of us. You can go back and think about it. Once you've thought it through, we can talk again."

"With such a low price, we won't have much profit left. Also, since you're paying for the machines, how will we repay you later?" Manager Zhao said.

“You can use products to pay off the money. That means you can repay the money with products until it is fully repaid. However, this contract must be for five years, otherwise there is no point in discussing it. I will give you three days to consider. If you do not come after three days, we will discuss cooperation with the machine factory here. I believe that based on the conditions I offer, no factory will be willing to cooperate,” San Niu said.

"Alright, I'll go back and discuss it with the others, and then I'll get back to you. I'll head back now," Manager Zhao said.

“Okay, we’ll wait for you for a few days. Manager Liu, could you go and see Manager Zhao off?” San Niu said.

"Okay, Chairman, Manager Zhao, I'll see you off," Liu Hao said.

Liu Hao escorted Manager Zhao to his car, where he was standing.

Manager Zhao looked at the main entrance and said, "Liu Hao, who is your chairman? What did she do before? She's so young, how come she's so capable! I didn't even have a chance to say anything, everything was done according to her plan. She's too amazing, why didn't you tell me beforehand!"

“I told you beforehand, you can’t beat her. The result will be the same, nothing will change. You shouldn’t make any wishes. Let me tell you the truth! Our chairman, don’t let her young age fool you, she started doing business when she was five. She’s negotiated countless deals. No one can beat her at the negotiating table. In the end, everyone has to do what she says,” Liu Hao said.

"So impressive! No wonder. That little mouth of his, he used so many words I'd never heard of before. Turns out he started doing business at five. Sigh, Liu Hao, where did this amazing guy come from? I've never heard of such a powerful figure in Beijing," Manager Zhao said.

"Don't guess. She's not from Beijing; she moved here from out of town. But I'm warning you, don't get any funny ideas. Otherwise, you'll be in trouble if you offend her. The last person who offended her went bankrupt. Don't go looking for trouble," Liu Hao said.

"Really? Really? She's really that amazing! You're not just trying to scare me, are you? Manager Zhao doesn't quite believe it!"

“I’m not trying to scare you. If it weren’t for the friendship between our two families, would I be telling you all this? Didn’t you see? Wang Jun and Huang Xuan are both afraid of her, especially Huang Xuan. You know what kind of person he used to be. Who was he afraid of in Beijing? He was always drinking and fooling around. Did he ever do anything serious? Look at him now. He doesn’t drink anymore, and he doesn’t dare to go out fooling around anymore. He’s been dealt with by our chairman. Huang Xuan now obeys her every word. If she tells him to go east, he wouldn’t dare to go west. She’s more effective than his father,” Liu Hao said.

"Oh, no wonder. I was wondering why you three, such capable people, would be willing to work for a little girl. So you were subdued. Sigh, alright, I get what you mean. Thanks, brother. I'm going back now. Manager Zhao drove off!"

After Liu Hao left, Manager Zhao returned!

"What's wrong, Brother Hao? Has Manager Zhao been intimidated by San Niu?" Huang Xuan asked.

"Yes, they were just saying how amazing San Niu is, and they even asked me where she came from, how she's so young and yet so incredible," Liu Hao said!

"See! I told you, Manager Zhao was definitely stunned by San Niu! He couldn't even react to what San Niu was saying. She kept asking him one question after another, leaving him completely dumbfounded," Huang Xuan said!

“Yes, yes, San Niu is quick-witted and has a sharp tongue. Manager Zhao is no match for her at all,” Wang Jun said.

"Honey, what methods and techniques did you use in your negotiation with Manager Zhao today? Tell us so we can learn from them," Liu Hao said.

“Alright, then I’ll explain it to you properly. Today I used the suppression method. Manager Zhao initially felt he had an advantage and was confident that he could successfully negotiate the cooperation today, since he had just bought a machine. But I used the suppression method to shatter his confidence in one fell swoop. So, I started by asking how many machines their factory had and how much they could produce each day. After he answered, I casually said that they had too few machines and produced too few products. This way, he would follow my lead and the result would be the one I wanted, not the one he wanted,” San Niu said.

"Oh, I see. This is a one-hit kill, making him obedient to you," Huang Xuan said!

"So you're really going to pay for the machine for him?" Liu Hao said.
