Chapter 202 Can’t Reach an Agreement
After finding the address given by Morgan, a sixty-story building, and looking at the large signboard of Tomler Global Defense Consulting hanging on the top of the building, Gao Yang knew that he had found the right place.
The person Gao Yang was looking for was Smith Tommler, the owner of the Tommler Building and the owner of Tommler's Global Defense Consulting Company.
Being able to own a sixty-story building in downtown New York shows that Smith Tomler's financial resources are already evident. However, Smith Tomler's most important financial source is his defense consulting company. Of course, the so-called defense Information companies are nothing more than legitimate cloaks for intelligence brokers and warmongers.
There are not many employees in the Tommler Defense Company, so all the floors of the Tommler Building except the top floor are rented out.
Tomler Defense Company has a dedicated elevator in the building, but if you want to take the elevator directly under Tomler Defense, you need to confirm your identity at a reception desk in front of the elevator. Of course, you can also make a reservation.
Gao Yang came at the right time. When he reached the top floor, he saw another reception desk as soon as he got out of the elevator. A young and beautiful female receptionist saw Gao Yang coming out and said with a smile: "Hello, sir, may I ask? Do you have an appointment?"
Gao Yang nodded, and said, "Hello, my name is Gongyang. I will meet Mr. Tommler at 1:45."
The female receptionist looked at the computer in front of her, pointed to the sofa nearby, and said with a smile: "Mr. Tomler is meeting a guest. He will see you in about five minutes. Please wait a moment."
Gao Yang sat on the sofa and waited for almost five minutes, but when the hour hand on the watch stopped at one forty-five, a woman dressed as a secretary hurriedly walked to Gao Yang. He said softly, "Is it Mr. Gongyang? Please follow me."
Not bad at all. Smith Tomler is very punctual. Led by the female secretary, Gao Yang walked through a long corridor and arrived at Smith Tomler's office. At this time, a middle-aged man with slightly bald hair just came out of the office. The middle-aged man looked disappointed. And lonely, after seeing the female secretary and Gao Yang, she tried hard to smile at the female secretary, and left in a hurry.
The female secretary knocked on the door. He said softly: "Mr. Tomler, Mr. Ram has arrived, do you need to postpone the meeting?"
A man's voice came from inside, saying: "Mr. Gao, please come in."
The female secretary opened the door, and Gao Yang walked in. There was only one man in his sixties in the office, and he must be Smith Tommler.
Smithtommler looks to be in his sixties, fat, with a big belly,
The smile on his face looks friendly.
Gao Yang stood in the room. Shen Sheng said: "It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Tommler."
Smithtommler sat behind a huge desk. Although he stood up, he had no intention of shaking hands with Gao Yang. However, considering the status gap between Smith Tomler and Gao Yang, Smith Tomler's standing up was a sign of Gao Yang's face.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Ram, please sit down and let's chat casually."
Gao Yang felt awkward adding the word "Mr" after "ram". After he sat down on the sofa, Smith Tomler smiled and said: "Mr. Gao, let's get straight to the point. My friend Pu Joel said that I should meet with you. He said that you have a great small mercenary group. I am very interested in your mercenary group and I also hope that we can reach cooperation, so I think we should be more honest. , Mr. Gao, what is the name of your mercenary group, how many people are there, which troops are your members from, and what achievements do you have?"
"My mercenary group is called the Satan Mercenary Group. There are five people including me. We have participated in battles in Misrata and Tripoli in Libya. In addition, we just conducted a rescue mission in Tijuana not long ago. Hostage Action.”
Smith Tomler frowned and said, "That's all?"
Gao Yang had already said all he could say, so he nodded and said, "That's all."
Smith Tomler shook his head and said: "I know you are a small mercenary group, but I didn't expect that there are only five people. Frankly speaking, I have almost no tasks suitable for you here, regardless of whether it is five people or five hundred people. , the effort required by my people is almost the same, but maybe I will encounter jobs that require a super-small mercenary group like yours in the future, so I think we can still cooperate."
Gao Yang nodded and said, "I hope so, Mr. Tomler."
"Please tell me which troops your members come from? Also, what is your record? Please rest assured that I am a professional agent. I will not disclose your information to anyone, but I have to know it myself. OK."
"Among our people, one is from the Chinese army, um, special forces, and one is from the Russian Airborne Forces. The remaining three, including me, have no military experience, but all of us have been trained in Israel."
The disappointed look on Smith Tomler's face flashed away, but Gao Yang still saw it, which made him no longer have the slightest hope for the outcome of this meeting, because judging from various signs, Smith Tomler I didn't take him seriously from the beginning.
Gao Yang did not hope that Smith Tomler could treat him as an equal negotiating partner, but the contempt shown by Smith Tomler still made him feel very uncomfortable. Although Smith Tomler always had a smile on his face, the contempt The meaning was obvious from the beginning of the conversation.
"Okay, Ram, I like to be straightforward, so I will speak frankly. Frankly speaking, I don't think it is necessary for us to cooperate, but Puyol solemnly recommended you to me, so I will We can’t ignore our friendship with him, let’s do this, we can reach a trial cooperation contract.”
Gao Yang smiled and said nothing, and Smith Tomler had no intention of asking Gao Yang for his opinion. He still said to himself: "First, if there is a task for you, you'd better not refuse it easily. Of course you have to refuse it." The power is just that if you refuse once, we will terminate the partnership.
Second, if there is a suitable task for you, you must first pay a deposit of 30% of the total commission. If the task is successfully completed, you will get the full commission, and I will keep the 30% deposit, and the task fails. , you will not get a cent.
These are the two conditions. The reason why I put forward these two conditions is because the success rate of the cooperation task that was finally achieved after my recommendation was 92%. This is a very, very high success rate. I don’t want anyone to To reduce my success rate, I don’t want to be unprofitable after working for a long time. "
Gao Yang could not agree to any of the conditions offered by Smith Tomler. First of all, if there is a mission, he must accept it. This is absolutely impossible. How can he accept the mission if it is clearly stated that he will be cannon fodder? The second point is even more ridiculous. Yes, you have to pay a deposit before accepting the mission. Only a fool can do this kind of thing.
Smith Tomler didn't want to cooperate with Gao Yang at all, and both of them knew this very well, but because they both had friends involved in the matter, they still followed the procedures that should be followed in a business negotiation. , Smith Tomler made a condition, but Gao Yang chose to refuse.
Gao Yang doesn't have the habit of slapping you in the face if you dare to look down on me. This is just a business, forget it if we can't reach an agreement. There is no need to act like a pig and eat the tiger, and there is no need to prove to Smith Tomler how awesome he is. No matter how powerful the Satan Mercenary Group is, the money it can earn for Smith Tomler is only a fraction to others.
If Gao Yang came on behalf of the Deyang Group, the treatment he received would definitely not be like this. In the final analysis, it is still a matter of strength.
Smith Tomler always showed the attitude that a businessman should have, and also showed enough respect for Gao Yang, so Gao Yang also showed the attitude he should have. He stood up and walked to Smith Tomler's office. At the work desk, he smiled and said: "It's a pity that I can't accept your conditions. It seems that we can't reach cooperation at the moment. I hope I can have the opportunity to cooperate with your company in the future. I'm sorry to disturb you. Goodbye."
After Gao Yang smiled and rejected Smith Tomler in a neither humble nor condescending manner, Smith Tomler's eyes revealed a hint of appreciation for Gao Yang. He stood up and reached out his hand, waiting for Gao Yang to shake hands with him. At that time, he smiled and said: "It's a pity that we can't reach an agreement, but no matter what the result is, this is a pleasant meeting. I believe that we will cooperate one day. I hope that you can still consider our company by then. Goodbye, company Mr. Sheep.”
After bidding farewell to Smith Tomler, Gao Yang immediately left Tomler Global Defense Consulting Company. After he took the elevator down to the lobby on the first floor, the smile on Gao Yang's face disappeared and replaced with a depressed expression. , there is no way, no one will be very happy if he is despised.
Gao Yang planned to go back to the hotel immediately, but before leaving, Gao Yang wanted to tell Morgan the result of the meeting. Although he was despised and failed to achieve the desired result, Gao Yang still had to thank Morgan and one of his Friends, after all, everyone has good intentions, and it was a personal favor to get him the opportunity to meet, so Gao Yang had to say thank you to Morgan and his friends.
"You failed too?"
When Gao Yang was taking out the phone, he heard a feeble voice beside him. Gao Yang looked up, but saw a middle-aged man with slightly bald hair looking at him with a dejected expression. Gao Yang quickly remembered, This man was the same man who had come out of Smith Tomler's office before him.
Gao Yang didn't know what this man wanted to do, so he just nodded and didn't speak. At this moment, the middle-aged man gave a wry smile, then stretched out his hand to Gao Yang, and said, "Donny Copperfield II, you can call me Downey Jr., man, don't be too disappointed, we're not at the point of no return yet, are we?"
Although Gao Yang felt a little baffled, he still shook hands with Downey Jr. and said, "You can call me Gongyang."
Little Downey held Gao Yang's hand, looked at Gao Yang in surprise, and said, "Your name is Ram? This name is obviously not what a manager should have, so you are not a manager, but a mercenary?" ( To be continued.)
