Chapter 171: Talking about cooperation with Gu Xunjing's father
"How can a president's wife, who has no decision-making power, be qualified to discuss cooperation with you? Let me formally introduce myself. I am the general manager of Jiang's Group, and I am currently in full charge of Jiang's Group's business."
Jiang Qianhui smiled, her face radiant like a rose, strategizing with confidence.
Gu Xuanwu hadn't seen someone so young yet with such a composed aura in many years; the last one he remembered was Zhan Yanxun.
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
Gu Xuanwu's eyes held a cunning and calculating glint.
“You have a jewelry brand, and I have a jade mine. Our cooperation is a powerful alliance.”
Gu Xuanwu really didn't expect that Jiang Qianhui would come to him for cooperation in order to get a jade mine.
Old Qin was deceived. The abandoned mine that he originally intended to sell at a low price was bought by her at the market price. She even proposed to split the profits with Old Qin and publicly claimed that the abandoned mine was a black jade mine.
Many people in the jade industry were waiting to see the joke, but they were all proven wrong.
She was absolutely right. Her young age belies her remarkable courage and vision, which has become widely known in the jadeite industry. The jadeite mine she owns is of exceptionally high quality, and people are scrambling to get their hands on it. Even the purchasing department of Gu's Jewelry spent several days there, but they only managed to secure a small quantity due to the intense competition.
She has absolutely no worries about sales of her jade mine; she actually approached him for a collaboration specifically because of this jade mine.
Is that a collaboration? It's more like they're just handing him money.
But if he wanted to give away money, shouldn't he have given it to the Zhan Group?
While making tea for Jiang Qianhui, Gu Xuanwu said shrewdly, "You're young but have such a good eye. You've bought this jadeite mine, so you don't have to worry about sales. Countless raw material suppliers and jewelers are waiting for your goods."
"Now, if anyone wants to purchase a large quantity of your goods, they'll probably have to pull strings and use connections. Speaking of connections, shouldn't we give priority to Zhan's Jewelry? Instead, you're coming to me for cooperation? You're the wife of the president of the Zhan Group, and Zhan's Jewelry is our Gu's Jewelry's biggest competitor. Instead of helping the Zhan Group, you're helping us. If Zhan Yanxun finds out, it might cause a rift between the couple."
When Gu Xuanwu spoke of marital discord, his smile clearly carried a hint of joking and a touch of probing.
At this moment, Gu Xuanwu brewed a cup of tea for Jiang Qianhui, who politely accepted it.
“President Gu, different perspectives lead to different thoughts. If you see me as the president's wife of the Zhan Group, you naturally won't understand. But if you only see me as someone from the Jiang Group, you will understand. Businessmen are all about maximizing profits.”
Gu Xuanwu played with the small piece of sandalwood in his hand, and seemed to find it rather interesting.
"Tell me, how do you want to cooperate?"
“Black jadeite is already quite valuable, and in recent years it has become increasingly popular among young women, leading to a surge in demand and a continuous rise in its price. We also have a large number of orders. I can promise to give priority to Gu’s Jewelry, and the price will not increase.”
Gu Xuanwu stopped holding the small piece of sandalwood and looked at Jiang Qianhui. This old fox was a bit hard to figure out. This was called cooperation? He was clearly just here to throw money away.
"Aren't you afraid Zhan Yanxun will object to this? After all, the Gu family is his mortal enemy!"
Gu Xuanwu and Zhan Yanxun's father are mortal enemies, as are Gu Xunjing and Zhan Yanxun.
Others are family friends, but they are family enemies.
Jiang Qianhui smiled slightly, her voice melodious and pleasant.
"You said it yourself, you are the Zhan family's mortal enemy, not our Jiang family's."
Gu Xuanwu hadn't expected Jiang Qianhui to be so blunt, and he laughed heartily.
"You're quite an interesting girl. No wonder I heard that Old Master Qin wanted to take you in as his goddaughter and have you inherit the Qin family business."
Old Qin is no ordinary person; anyone who catches his eye must be extraordinary!
“Which of these identities, the eldest daughter of the Qin family or the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, carries more weight than the wife of the president of the Zhan Group who has no real power? So President Gu doesn’t need to care about the label of ‘wife of the president of the Zhan Group’ that I am.”
What president's wife! Jiang Qianhui didn't even want to admit that it was an identity, but only a label, or even a criminal record!
"What do you want from me by offering me such good terms?"
An old fox is an old fox; he's always cunning and calculating.
"Our Jiang Group started in the mobile phone industry. You should know that the mobile phone industry has been very competitive in recent years, requiring new technological breakthroughs. Your company's GS optical camera is the strongest support for the technological breakthrough we are looking for."
"My GS optical camera is my pride and joy, and it's from one of the world's top camera brands. Why would I want to work with you?"
"Your GS optical cameras are a leader in Country A and even internationally, but sales have been declining in recent years. You have tried many methods to increase sales, but the results have been very limited. However, I think you have done one thing right: you have maintained your brand image and have not lowered prices. You remain a high-end luxury brand."
GS optical cameras are his proudest brand, but sales have been declining in recent years, even though the technology remains the best. However, sales are not optimistic, and the company is even operating at a loss.
Many employees suggested he lower prices to promote sales, but he was unwilling to lower the brand's image.
So even though GS optical cameras have been operating at a loss, they are still struggling to stay afloat and unwilling to lower prices.
With so many industries under its umbrella, if one business incurs losses, another project can fill the gap; they can afford to lose money.
However, the fact that GS optical cameras have never been able to make a breakthrough has been a major concern for him.
"For many years, JSJ mobile phones have been committed to innovation in mobile imaging technology, exploring and refining capabilities in dimensions such as color, night scene, portrait, sports, and video. We hope to start a global strategic cooperation with your GS Optical Camera, establish a joint imaging laboratory between JSJ and GS Optical, explore the fundamentals and cutting-edge technologies of mobile imaging, and jointly develop new mobile phones."
We have engaged in a series of in-depth collaborations and joint innovations in areas such as GS optical lenses, mobile phone lens module hardware, and computational photography, continuously driving the advancement of mobile imaging technology and bringing users higher quality and more creative shooting effects.
I believe this phone we jointly developed will definitely become a new benchmark in the industry and will bring a win-win situation for both of us. Here is a plan I've prepared; please take a look.
At this moment, Gu Xuanwu finally put down the small piece of sandalwood in his hand, took the plan, and his shrewd eyes showed no contempt, only importance.
This Gu Xuanwu is usually a smiling tiger, seemingly indifferent to everything. But at this moment, his face shows an unusual seriousness and earnestness.
