第54章
二零二二年, 五月底。
新加坡,莱佛士大道7号滨海湾。
阮念穿的是浅灰色西装外套,内搭白色圆领衫, 头发扎起来,露出一对小巧的珍珠耳钉。
两个人走进餐厅的时候,客户已经到了。
客户坐在靠窗的位置, 面前放着一杯普洱茶,正低头看手机。
张诗月(vera)走过去, 伸出手,热情洋溢:
“mr. li, sorry to keep you waiting.”
(李总, 不好意思让您久等了。)
李总抬起头,打量了她们一眼, 站起来握了手:
“no worries. i just got here, too.”
(没事, 我也刚到。)
三个人坐下,服务员递来菜单。
vera没有急着接, 而是微微侧身,把菜单让给李总。
阮念(samy):
“please, go ahead. we’re not picky.”
(李总先点,我们随意。)
李总随意点了一些,然后直接步入正题, 抬头说:“the supplier we were working with ran out of stock. so now, we're in urgent need of glp-1 peptide api.”
(之前合作那边断货了,我们呢,现在急需要glp-1多肽原料药。)
「glp-1多肽原料药:这是一种用于生产新型减肥药和糖尿病药物的核心化学成分」
vera顺势接话:
“then, mr. li, is it convenient for you to take a look at our proposal now?”
(那李总,现在方便看看我们的方案吗?)
samy从包里抽出文件夹,翻开,解释道:
“shall i go through the pricing for you?”
(我给您介绍一下报价吧?)
samy语气稳定,认真地说:
“mr. li, we lock the price for six months, 1.5 points lower than what you're paying now. and we run multiple tests on every batch — so you only get products that pass.”
(李总,我们提供半年锁价,比您现在的供应商低1.5个点,每一批货物都会经过多道检测的,确保您收到的都是合格产品。)
「半年锁价:承诺在六个月内,不管市场成本怎么涨,都按这个价格供货」
李总皱了皱眉:
“six months? others do yearly.”
(半年?别人都是一年起签。)
vera微微一笑,语气笃定:
“you know glp-1 peptide apis. most suppliers can only lock prices for three months. but we ensure stable sourcing and production — no sudden shortages like your previous supplier.”
(glp-1这类多肽原料药,您也了解,市场上多数供应商只敢锁3个月,我们公司呢,既能确保原材料采购和生产都很稳定,也不会像李总之前的供应商那样突然断货的)
“for the first trial, 10kg or 50kg works — whatever fits your need. no need to start with 500kg. stable quality and quick delivery within two weeks after order.”
(首次试单,10公斤或50公斤都行,看您方便。没必要从500公斤开始。质量稳定,订单确认后两周内到货。)
李总沉默了片刻,语气压低了一点:
“hmm...the price is still higher than what i had.”
(嗯...还是比我原来的价格高。)
vera笑了笑,耐心解释:
“mr. li, we understand the price is slightly higher. but given your current supplier has stopped supplying, the real cost to you is the downtime of your customers.”
“think about it a single day of downtime will cost you way more. that little extra on the api? it's really nothingpared to that.”
(李总,我们理解价格略高。但您原来的供应商已经断供了,真正的成本是您客户那边的停产,停工一天,可能会损失更多相比停产损失,原料药高出的那点价格其实并不多。)
samy接着补充道:
“no sudden shortages. pharmaceutical-grade. documents filed. we cover shipping and customs. every batch: test report, traceable source, data matches our filings.”
(我们不会突然断货,生产是药品级标准,文件也在药监局备过案。运输和海关我们全包,而且每批货都有检测报告,源头可以查验,质量数据也能对上备案文件。)
李总看着报价单,认真翻阅查看,针对条款又询问了几个相关问题,阮念和张诗月相互配合,为他解答疑惑。
然后,李总翻到了合同最后一页,签下名字。
李总夹了一块鱼,忽然问了一句:“you two ——are you partners?”
(你们两个,是合伙人?)
张诗悦夹了一口菜,“she's my operations director.”
(她是我的运营总监。)
李总看了阮念一眼,“someone from operations…ing out to talk to clients?”
(做公司运营的……跑出来谈客户?)
张诗悦笑了,那笑容里带着一点不经意的骄傲:“back when samy was doing sales in china, she ran circles around me. i still need her.”
(samy以前在国内做销售的时候,比我还厉害,我还要指望她呢。)
阮念差点被茶呛到,在桌子底下,轻轻踢了张诗悦一脚。
商业互吹,打住。
张诗悦面不改色,转头朝着阮念挑了挑眉。
……
签完合同,两个人走出餐厅,钻进车里。
张诗月把文件夹往后座一扔,长长吐了一口气。
“卖了五十公斤,也不错,算个开始。”
