Chapter 56 The Art of Language, How to Translate
"Mr. Thors, do you know anything about the Zmailmann Warehousing Company in the suburbs of Munich?" Gu Qing then started the formal business conversation.
However, as said before, fate is always wonderful.
Torsi's eyes lit up and he said: "Mr. Zmailman was a client of our law firm back then."
"Oh? Such a coincidence?"
"Yes, there was a fire in Zmelman's warehouse ten years ago. At that time, it was my mentor who won the insurance case for Mr. Zmelman, which saved Zmelman's company from bankruptcy."
"Oh? It seems that there is a story about that fire?" Gu Qing asked with a smile. After all, the reputation of the German insurance company is still guaranteed, and it will not blackmail the premium.
"I don't know the specific situation, I'm sorry."
Would he not know the situation about his mentor's case?
No, it’s just a requirement of professional ethics. In other words, the benefits are not big and it’s not worth mentioning.
"Then do you know that the current owner of Zmailman Warehousing Company wants to sell the company?" Gu Qing then asked.
"How is it possible? Zmailman Warehousing Company is the family business of Mr. Zmailman."
Torsi was a little surprised.
Germans or Europeans are inherently possessive of family property, just like before the unification of China, kings from various places were possessive of their own territories,
"No It’s impossible. The current head of Zmailman Warehousing Company is the grandson of old Mr. Zmailman. It’s only natural for the young master to want to throw away his waning property in exchange for funds to develop other industries.”< br>
"Then, Mr. Gu, wait for ten minutes, I will inquire about the sale of Zmailman Warehousing Company."
"Of course, you are busy." Giving money is for people to do things, so Gu Qing He calmly picked up the coffee and took a sip. He felt it was a bit bitter, so he put it down again.
Torsi nodded, got up, walked outside the store, and started to make a phone call.
This is the advantage of cooperating with a powerful law firm. Whether it is in the official public or underground, there are connections available. After all, there will always be times in people's lives when they need a lawyer.
Seeing Tuoersi 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.
Mud is still bitter.
“Zmailman Warehousing Company is still providing warehousing services for furniture stores around Munich. However, due to the reduction of business, most of the employees have been laid off. The current number of employees is 30, and there are also plans to The dismissal of some employees shows that its business situation is indeed in trouble
Mr. Zmelman Jr. does intend to sell this family business, and due to the recent incident. With layoffs and salary reductions, Zmelman's company is facing several lawsuits.
But even so, the price disclosed by Mr. Zmelman is still no less than two million euros..." Tuo. Ersi picked up his notebook and introduced it to Gu Qing one by one,
Yes, Germany uses euros, and 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 warehousing company?" Gu Qing asked.
Torsi smiled and nodded, and said with a kind of national confidence: "Yes, the warehouse, land and the previous company's business are all sold completely. The price of two million euros was sold ten years ago. "It's definitely more than that." "So you want to find a pick-up guy when the market falls, and you also 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 specific business losses currently retained by Zmailman Warehousing Company, but I want to apologize to you." Torsi stood up. Lai half-bowed.
Although the larger the transaction amount, the more small money he will get, 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.
“I accept your apology, Mr. Towers, but I think you should inquire more about the situation and possibly find out the other party’s true psychological price, otherwise I may not have that long time to negotiate. This business.
After all, you should know that I will go back to Daxia soon."
Gu Qing said with narrowed eyes.
The general meaning I want to express is: if you want to make money, do the work well and quickly for the labor and management, otherwise the labor and management will leave in a few days, and you will have nothing but a little entrustment money. I can’t get it, idiot, don’t you even know this?
"Then please allow me another ten minutes. I need more information."
"Please."
Gu Qing waved his hand and didn't say much.
Seeing that Torsi went out to make a phone call again, he closed his eyes.
People always like routines, whether in business or part-time work. Can’t we use less routines and be more sincere?
In order to make more money, I wasted everyone's time. It was really... such a waste of my time.
After a while, Torsi returned to his seat.
This time his expression was much more sincere, and his words were less pleasantries.
“Zmailman Warehousing Company’s loss-making business mainly comes from furniture and other materials placed by previous customers. These things require special care and humidity adjustment from time to time, and occupy a large amount of warehouse storage space.
Zmailmann Warehousing Company currently has an area of 1 There are more than 05 acres of company real estate, and the available storage area is 51,142 square meters. Mr. Gu, if you want to acquire Zmailman Storage Company, then I personally suggest that you keep the current general manager of the company, Kolehai Mann, because he He is a good manager with high moral character and leadership skills.”
What does it mean to be a good manager with high moral character and leadership skills?
People who are free from the stains of corruption and bribery are called noble moral characters.
If you don’t want him, most of the workers will be gone. This is called having leadership ability.
Translated again, that is to say: If you don’t want this person, buying Nazmelman Warehousing Company is equivalent to buying an empty shell. If the workers make trouble, you can’t control it. I'm afraid it will be troublesome for you to return to your country, and if you are not familiar with the place, it will be difficult to tell if something happens.
“Well, for the employees and managers of Zmailman Warehousing Company, I have no idea of dismissing them for the time being, so you don’t have to worry. Of course, you can also tell your friends that I am sincere. I came to invest with my heart in mind. My company has good product output in Daxia, so I need a storage place that can take good care of the products for me. It has experienced employees who are familiar with the business, which is what I want.”
Torsi nodded in agreement and said: "I know Mr. Gu that you are a good person, and Daxia's investments in our Germany often do not liquidate employees, so we welcome Daxia's investment."< br>
