CHAPTER 711 NO ROOM FOR NEGOTIATION
"Director Fan," Li Dong was angry inside but didn't show it on his face. "I'm the north regional manager for Lin Group, Li Dong. I contacted you earlier, this is my assistant."
He pointed to Number 5 beside him.
Fan Luo just nodded and didn't even look up. "Oh it's you. What's the matter?"
Li Dong smiled and said, "Director Fan, it's about the Lin Group goods. The approval papers..."
"This is not an easy matter to settle," Fan Luo shook his head and waved his hands before Li Dong could finish his sentence. "Goods approval has to follow a process, and nowadays, the procedure for entering the market is very strict. Mr Li, you're an expert in this industry, so I'm sure you know better than me how strict it is. It's not possible."
Li Dong got angry inside. What did he mean by it was not possible?
Any region and any city could get this done. Even if it was done by the book, it would only be a matter of days.
And normally, if a major corporation was entering a market, the paperwork was usually processed more quickly. Why weren't they able to process Lin Group's paperwork here?
"Director Fan, I know the process and procedure that's required. But now I can't find the right people,” Li Dong sounded like he was in a difficult position. "Many documents need to be signed but all the authorized signatories are not around, so the paperwork has been left unattended to for too long and we can't afford it to continue being dragged on like this."
Fan Luo laughed and got up from his chair.
He walked to Li Dong and narrowed his eyes into a strange smile. "Mr Li, are you trying to say that we have been careless at our job?"
"That's not what I meant." "Look at the work that we have. Do you know how many things we have to handle everyday? To you, it's just a matter of signing papers. But you're just one company. Do you know how many companies we have to look at?"
"Even if your company can get all the procedures done, I still have many more people to go through on my side. All of you have to get in line like everyone else. We don't give anyone special privileges here, and everything is done by the book."
Fan Luo shook his head and looked displeased. "Since you say that you know all the procedures well, then go get everything else done first. Once you've completed everything else, it'll eventually reach this place. Without the proper paperwork in place, I'm sorry but I can't do anything for you."
"Director Fan..."
"I still have a lot of work to do, please leave," said Fan Luo with a cold expression on his face before Li Dong could say anymore.
Li Dong cursed in his heart. If he now agreed to give them 70% of the profits, he was quite sure that this process would be completed in an hour or so.
These leeches!
Never mind 70%. They didn't even have the right to ask for 10%.
This was within their job scope, but they kept dragging their feet on it, so many companies had no choice but to give in to their demands.
With such a huge amount of profit gone, how many companies could survive?
Many of them could only quietly pack their bags and leave the northern market. So the huge northern market was still controlled by the powerful families. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Everyone knew about this, but there was nothing they could do. Either they lived with it, or they got out.
Li Dong left in a huff, and Fan Luo just scoffed. He went back to his office chair and snorted in disdain. "Lin Group? In the past, 70% of the profits would be enough. But now, there are too many people who don't want to let you in.”
"Besides, they don't seem to know how to behave at all. They can slowly wait for the documents, as long as they can afford to wait."
Fan Luo was only the public face of Jiebei to meet with all these people. But if they couldn't even get past Fan Luo, there was no way they were going to get past the rest.
Li Dong had come into his office without bringing anything and even dared to talk to him like that.
What was there to negotiate?
There was no room for negotiation at all!
Fan Luo leaned against his chair. He narrowed his eyes and calmly said, "If you don't know how to behave in the corporate world, then you won't last long, hohoho."
