"These things? They don't seem easy to deal with!"

Kobayashi is not a fool. On the contrary, he is a guy who is very proficient in business, and he is also very familiar with technology and various aspects of technology.

Some of the things on this purchase order are just garbage. There are countries in the world that have the ability to produce them, and the prices are not expensive. However, hidden in these things are some other scattered tight instruments mixed together. Of course, he knows what these instruments are used to produce high-end capacitors, resistors, and electrical appliances.

But these things are precisely the strengths of Japan's electronic manufacturing industry.

When the electronics industry, which represented the Third Industrial Revolution, had just emerged, the Japanese were very sensitive to the prospects of this industry, so they quickly entered this industry.

At that time, the highest-end product technologies were all in the United States, and it was almost impossible for Japan to get involved in this industry. At that time, Japan had just recovered from the ruins after World War II.

They knew they did not have the ability to manufacture overall electronic products, so they started from the lowest level, and the most basic part of the electronics industry at that time was just capacitors or resistors.

Back then, the Japanese started with these small and inconspicuous things, and they made this most basic industry into the world where they were most proud of for decades.

Now, as far as the electronics industry is concerned, if you want to produce some high-end electronic products, then how can you not have Japanese capacitors and resistors on the integrated circuits of your products?

If you don’t have one, then the performance, quality, and service life of your product cannot be guaranteed!

These small inconspicuous capacitor resistors alone can bring billions of benefits to major electronic companies in Japan every year.

Those laymen just saw the profits made by Japanese electronic manufacturers selling their electronic products, but who would notice these inconspicuous capacitor resistances?

In fact, it is precisely because of such high-quality and low-cost capacitor resistors that have long become famous in Japan's electronic products worldwide!

Large electronic product companies such as Nikon, Panasonic, Sony, Toshiba, etc., if they hadn't used such high-quality and low-priced electronic components, how could they have left their products with excellent quality, solid and durable reputation worldwide?

Moreover, these things can not only be used on products such as computers and TVs, but also many places to use them, ranging from phones, mobile phones, and airplanes and tanks. The market for such little guys is everywhere.

With the increasing development of electronic engineering, how many machines can be driven by electrical energy? As long as you cannot do without electronic equipment, then you cannot do without the capacitor resistance!

You can't underestimate these things, this is a big deal worth billions of dollars!

The group of people opposite him obviously belongs to Chinese people. Since they are not Japanese, the price of these things cannot be calculated as if they are sold to Japanese people.

Nobuhiko Kobayashi is a shrewd businessman and he is very clear about the difference between the domestic and international markets.

When doing business with the Baga people in China, because of the fierce competition and their reputation are not very good, sometimes the price of their shipments has to be very low.

In this way, some local Japanese machinery manufacturers are reluctant to give them the products to sell, so they have to build some machines of the same level from foreign countries through their own channels.

Japan is extremely xenophobic. In the field of machinery, they always believe that they can do the best. Therefore, they generally don’t like to use foreign machinery and equipment unless they cannot make them. In this way, those large companies will naturally have an optional attitude towards their Tengzhong Trading Company.

This also makes Kobayashi Nobuhiko's business difficult, and she can only rely on doing business with some small companies that care much about costs in China, but how much money can those small and medium-sized enterprises have?

But if it were a foreigner, it would be different, especially for Chinese people who claim to be rich in the past two years. If they do their business, the price will certainly be based on the price!

And unlike other traditional Japanese people, Nobuhiko Kobayashi is not the kind of old stubborn man who would rather not make this money than sell good things to Chinese people. He received American education and believed in complete free capitalism. In his mind, there was no concept of national security. In his belief, money is God. As long as he gave enough money, he could even sell his soul to the devil without any psychological pressure.

So he was interested in Li Yifan and the others' background because he wanted a good price.

"I think you should have some of these things after that, so is it very difficult to get after that, so is this price?"

Xiaolin rubbed his chin that was scratched sour and began to hold it. Li Yifan was not in a hurry, but just looked at this guy with a smile.

"Mr. Li, you see, these and these are all easy to do, so I don't have to make too high prices. One billion yen can do it, but these and these are more difficult to do. Although there are not many of these machines, the prices are definitely not cheap, so what if you think these are also one billion yen?"

While gesturing on the purchase list, Kobayashi said to Li Yifan that the 2 billion yen was twice the price of Li Yifan's original heart.

These days, the money is only about 20 million yuan. To be honest, it is not very expensive to buy these things. After all, some things are indeed difficult to get. Although these things are not things in the Batumi embargo, after all, this involves the Japanese's special skills, so people may not be willing to hand over the most advanced things to you, even if they are given to you, they will ask for a huge price.

And if you go through formal channels, you have to find authentic Japanese manufacturers. Those guys always like to have nostrils facing upside down when negotiating with Chinese people. When it comes to products of this level, those guys always like to have nostrils facing upside down, and offer an outrageous price, and then ignore you, do you want it?

Then the subsequent maintenance service costs are even more terrifying, and it is not cost-effective to do business with them. So instead of dealing with them, in Li Yifan's opinion, it is better to deal with intermediaries like Kobayashi Nobuhiko.

And if you take the line from Nobuhiko Kobayashi and wait until you truly understand him, the next thing will be much easier.

Even ten years later, due to the Batumi Agreement, Europe, the United States and Japan still have many advanced machinery and technologies that are not allowed to be transferred to China.

If there is a guy like Nobuhiko Kobayashi, then it will be much easier to deal with. Although the advanced technology of Europe and the United States is not open to China, it is fully open to Japan at that time. Therefore, we can use this method to get some of the machinery and equipment and technologies they want from Europe and the United States.

So dealing with this Nobuhiko Kobayashi is a long-term project and you need to manage it patiently.

However, although he made up his mind to manage this line well, this guy's ability to ask for a lot of prices still opened Li Yifan's eyes.

To be honest, if these things are purchased by Japanese manufacturers, they will probably be sold for hundreds of millions of yen. After all, this time he bought not much equipment, just equipment from a medium-sized semiconductor factory, and it does not involve too high-end machinery, so it is not so expensive.

But this guy tripled the price with just one mouth. If he indulged him this time, then next time he came into contact with him, this guy would still speak loudly. This would be difficult to deal with in the long run.

After all, Li Yifan plans to operate the Kobayashi Nobuhiko line for a long time. On the other hand, if the price is too low, it will not be possible to make this guy feel that he cannot get any benefits. He must make him feel that he has great benefits, but he cannot make him too greedy, so the pricing must be well-regarded.

"Two billion? This price seems a bit too expensive, right? Mr. Kobayashi, we are all businessmen, and we all know how much these things are worth? Moreover, our Takashima and your Japanese companies also have a lot in common and have a long history of friendship, so is this price a bit too expensive?"

"Oh? Are you a company coming to Baodao?"

Nobuhiko Kobayashi raised his eyebrows and the smile on his face was very interesting, but it did not expose Li Yifan's lies. Li Yifan didn't blush, and he was doing business, that's all, asking for a price everywhere, paying back the money, real, fake, fake!

"No matter what? We still think the price of 2 billion is a bit high. What do you think about 1.5 billion? We have conducted a survey before. If 1.5 billion is already about twice as much as you do in domestic supply business. If you don't agree with this price, then we may have to contact other businesses."

Li Yifan set the final bottom line, and he also didn't like to turn around. After listening to this offer and being tough in Li Yifan's speech at the end, Nobuhiko Kobayashi stopped engaging in the price.

"Okay, 1.5 billion is 1.5 billion. I think Mr. Li, you are a cheerful person. I like to do business with someone like you, so I accepted this offer!"

"Okay, I also like businessmen like you, Mr. Kobayashi. Of course, you can deliver this batch of goods to your door..."
