"At present, the price of ambergris internationally, we understand that it is about 15,000 pounds per kilogram, so we hope to trade in this price range."
Before coming, Li Yifan had a special understanding of the price of ambergris. Not only did he check a large amount of information, he also made several cross-border phone calls and asked about the quotations of some foreign acquisition companies.
Fortunately, he won a lot of rewards from his uncle and others before, otherwise it would be really difficult to pay for the high cross-border phone calls in this era.
In recent decades, the international acquisition of ambergris has been almost monopolized by French perfume industry giants. One kilogram of untreated ambergris coarse materials was generally acquired by some French companies. At that time, the price per kilogram was about 60,000 to 70,000 yuan. After some processing and fine processing, they sold them to those perfume giants. At that time, the selling price per kilogram would reach about 100,000 yuan.
However, that was when the annual trading volume of ambergris was between 400 and 600 kilograms per year. Now due to excessive hunting of whales, the production of ambergris is decreasing year by year, and the annual trading volume is usually around 100 kilograms.
So these French perfume industry giants are now working hard to find alternatives, while also constantly increasing the acquisition price of ambergris.
Generally, according to international practice and the quality of ambergris, the purchase price per kilogram will fluctuate between 10,000 pounds and 15,000 pounds.
You should know that these ambergris were judged as high-quality products by French perfume companies at that time, and the price was set at about 20,000 euros per kilogram. However, it is not ten years later, so the price has not been ordered that it has reached that high, so Li Yifan still plans to trade at the current highest price in the market.
The lady Gao Ya on the opposite side did not say much after hearing the offer, but just smiled indifferently and said to Li Yifan.
"Mr. Li Xiao, what you are talking about is the current international quotation for the highest quality ambergris, and your product, according to our judgment, cannot meet that standard. If we purchase it, we plan to pay a price of RMB 100,000 per kilogram, what do you think?"
The general manager still understands the principle of asking for a price everywhere and paying back the money, not to mention that there is half of the Chinese blood in her body.
But the price is too harsh. The reason why she said this was completely bullying Li Yifan and the others. She thought they didn't know the quality of these ambergris.
If it were before, Li Yifan would not know how the international quality of ambergris was divided. However, with his experience in later generations, he knew that after these ambergris were just excavated, they immediately attracted the attention of several major French perfume companies. They also sent experts to conduct special appraisals. The conclusion they came to was of super-grade quality. At that time, it was the time when high-end raw materials were short of high-end raw materials, so those international perfume industry giant companies offered quotations of 20,000 euros per kilogram for these raw materials.
The exchange rate of the euro at that time and the current pound sterling to the RMB was similar, which was about one to thirteen, so he had actually kept the quotes of these ambergris in his heart for a long time.
"Haha, this price is not very good! Ms. Anna, our family has been growing on the beach for generations. We have known this thing for a long time. As for its quality and level, we know it even more."
Li Yifan tried to bargain with her.
"Oh? Is it true? Then can you tell us how the grade and quality of this ambergris are divided?"
Anna's question was very direct, but it was also very effective, and she left Li Yifan speechless.
"So, I say that your ambergris products are of average quality, and the highest price we can pay is about 100,000 yuan per kilogram. Mr. Li, this is not a small amount of money."
Anna took advantage of the victory and she also realized that Xiao Li was the protagonist of this negotiation.
A hundred thousand yuan per kilogram, and a hundred kilogram is ten million. At this time, Li Liqiang, who was sitting next to Li Yifan, felt dizzy and dry mouth. Ten million is enough for him and his wife to work hard for a hundred years without eating or drinking.
He unscrewed the mineral water in front of him, took a sip, and then quietly used his eyes to signal Li Yifan to accept this condition. Anna also saw the gaze between the two clearly. She was very satisfied with her strategy, and probably Xiao Li would not be able to hold back soon.
However, unexpectedly, Li Yifan shook his head firmly.
"Okay, since your company is so uninterested in these ambergris, we don't have to waste time. We also made an appointment with the person in charge of Lancome and Dior, and I believe they will definitely give a fair price for these ambergris."
The negotiations are nothing more than the east wind overwhelming the west wind or the west wind overwhelming the east wind. Since Chanel is so insincere, there are more than one perfume company in France.
Li Yifan is also using tricks. He is sure that Chanel will never ignore these ambergris. After all, in this era when expensive raw materials are becoming increasingly scarce, a 100-kilogram ambergris temptation for any perfume company. If you get more, then your competitors will get less.
He believed that the lady on the other side would definitely understand this principle. If this method could not suppress her, he would really have to contact Lancome or Dior's representative.
If the French unite to reduce the price, at worst I will not buy it. You must know that in ten years, these ambergris alone can be sold at a sky-high price of over 100 million in the collection market in China.
Anna, who was opposite, heard Li Yifan's words, had a hint of anger flashed across her face, but she was soon replaced by her usual elegance.
"Okay! Then I wish you all the best to find a buyer."
Anna stood up and made a gesture of seeing off the guests. She looked confident and seemed to have not felt the threat from Li Yifan. At this time, looking at her calm and composed look, Li Yifan felt a little confused.
"Okay, goodbye."
After shook hands with Anna, she saw that the other party really didn't want to keep it and continued negotiations with her, Li Yifan felt that she was not so sad, but she couldn't fall back at this time. At worst, she could spend more time and spend a few more days in the capital to find a next home.
Li Liqiang complained that Li Yifan was too greedy, but at this time he could not argue with his son in front of outsiders. He could only walk with his son to the door with his son unwillingly.
"Please wait."
As soon as she reached the door, Anna's stay made Li Yifan happy. Sure enough, she couldn't hold back.
"Haha, that's it. I don't know why, but when I saw two Mr. Li, I felt very kind. Although our business has not been negotiated this time, we can still make friends. We follow the local customs. Why not be here at noon today and invite two of you to a flat meal?"
Anna's words made Li Yifan feel a little disappointed and a little surprised, what is the idea this woman is making.
But since she said that, it was definitely the deal and there was a possibility of continuing, so they agreed.
"Okay, please wait for me in the restaurant on the eighth floor first. I will change my clothes and then rush over immediately."
The confused Li Liqiang and his son came to the eighth floor of the Great Wall Hotel. Li Liqiang was a little confused, but Li Yifan was thinking about it and had some ideas. Could it be that this woman wanted kickbacks?
But because she was inconvenient to speak in front of Pierre? Well, that should be the case. After all, no matter whether it is a Chinese or a foreigner, he is familiar with the kickbacks.
If you come out to purchase and don’t charge some kickbacks, you’re so sorry for yourself. I just don’t know how big this woman’s appetite is.
The father and son, who were worried, came to the restaurant on the eighth floor. As soon as they entered the door, the waiter took a private room and said that it was made by Ms. Anna and she would come over later.
After a while, Anna pushed open the door and walked in. Just now when she was in the suite, she was wearing a work suit, which looked very capable. This time she wore a lilac dress with a big neckline, revealing a white piece, and her hair was put down, looking very attractive, and the old man Pierre did not follow him.
