Chapter 398: Take advantage
With caution against Chai Peng and Lu Yiming, Ma Fei and Cai Zhuoya flew to the capital again.
According to the agreement between the two parties, they met with people from the library company in a banquet box of a restaurant that night.
The other party led the team by Lu Haibing, the company's boss, and was accompanied by several secretaries and supervisors, and the formation was not small.
Seeing Ma Fei, Lu Haibing greeted with a smile: "I have long heard that there is a young talent surnamed Ma in Tianyang Metropolis Daily, and today I am finally fortunate to see the real face, hehe, it's an honor!"
Ma Fei smiled casually: "Mr. Lu has a good reputation, I am fighting across the field this time, and I ask Mr. Lu for more advice." ”
After some politeness, the two sides sat down, and after three rounds of drinking, the topic finally fell on the cooperation between the two sides.
Ma Fei calmly explained: "Mr. Lu, although there are some small episodes in the cooperation between our two sides, the overall prospect is still good, and we are also actively rectifying internally to ensure that similar problems will not occur again......"
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Haibing interrupted: "Mr. Ma's words are wrong! The reason why we want to re-evaluate is that in addition to the quality of your company's pictures, there is also the copyright dispute between you and Tiancheng Business Daily. You know, it's our competitors, and it's hard for us to continue working together until it's settled. We don't dare to touch the risks here!"
Speaking of this, Ma Fei glanced at Cai Zhuoya: "Speaking of the so-called copyright dispute, in fact, the truth is already very clear, my colleague Miss Cai happens to be the party, why don't I ask her to tell you in detail!"
Under his recommendation, Cai Zhuoya told the story of "sharing" the picture to Wei Shan according to the version she had told the picture agency before.
Ma Fei said with a smile: "Now, the company has identified the dishonesty of the business newspaper and is initiating a claim against them. This can also prove the innocence of our newspaper!"
thought that this logic could perfectly convince the other party, but Lu Haibing was still undecided, shook his head and said: "Before the dust settles, everything is still inconclusive!"
Seeing that the other party had this attitude, of course Ma Fei would complain: Mother, since you have concerns, why did you ask us to talk?
On second thought, although his experience in business negotiation is almost zero, in this kind of game, the other party shows this posture, which can at least prove one point: he did not fundamentally veto this cooperation, and the reason why he raised various concerns is nothing more than to win more benefits!
So what does this Mr. Lu want? Is it to lower the price? or to increase the length of cooperation authorization?
In order to figure out this problem, Ma Fei decisively opened the mind exploration technique for him.
Unexpectedly, Lu Haibing's attention at this time was all on the banquet, and he thought straight in his heart: "Good wine, I haven't drunk this kind ......of good wine for a long time! It's really enjoyable! It's a pity that I can't drink it all on this occasion."
Ma Fei's heart suddenly moved, and he picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, we can discuss the matter of cooperation in the long run, tonight is a rare opportunity, let's have a drink first! Come, I toast you!"
Believing that he had a good amount of alcohol, Ma Fei was determined to imitate those masters who talked about business at the wine table, and drank each other first before talking about business!
Seeing Ma Fei raise a glass, Cai Zhuoya also hurriedly followed. Facing the two of them toasting at the same time, Lu Haibing really smiled, and happily clinked glasses with them.
But this clinking glass, an accident happened.
Lu Haibing estimated that he was using too much force, and the red wine in the wine glass instantly spurted out, and suddenly stained Cai Zhuoya's chiffon dress.
"Oops! I'm really embarrassed!" Lu Haibing hurriedly put down his wine glass and got up to apologize, and subconsciously pulled out a few tissues to help Cai Zhuoya wipe them.
However, the place where the wine stain was stained happened to be Cai Zhuoya's chest, and when he stretched out his hand, he was inevitably a little embarrassed, and he was stunned in place.
In order to alleviate the embarrassment of the other party, Cai Zhuoya reacted very quickly, and hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter, Mr. Lu, I'll go to the bathroom to clean it myself!"
Lu Haibing hurriedly followed: "No, how can you let Miss Cai go alone? I'll accompany you, if it doesn't work, I'll find someone to get a new set of clean clothes......
As he spoke, he had already followed Cai Zhuoya closely, and before going out, he didn't forget to turn around and tell his subordinates: "You accompany Mr. Ma to drink first, drink happily!"
This confession instantly made Ma Fei fall into the toasting circle of everyone.
Following Cai Zhuoya's footsteps to the door of the bathroom, Lu Haibing looked for a waiter to get a towel like a gentleman, and waited apologetically.
When Cai Zhuoya came out after cleaning up, he handed over the towel and said with a smile: "Miss Cai, I'm really sorry, be careful of catching a cold if your clothes get wet, use this pad! I've already asked people to buy a dress, please wait a while......"
Seeing him so polite, Cai Zhuoya was a little embarrassed, shook her head and said: "Mr. Lu is too polite, these are all minor problems, don't be so troublesome." ”
"It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, how can a beautiful woman like Miss Cai eat and drink in a dirty dress? That's too disappointing, right?" he said, and he couldn't help but stuff the towel into Cai Zhuoya's hand.
Cai Zhuoya couldn't resist him, so she had to take the towel and symbolically wipe the undried water stains on her chest.
As soon as her attention was distracted, she didn't pay attention, her feet slipped and she stumbled, and her body suddenly threw herself forward.
Lu Haibing's eyes were quick, he grabbed her waist and hugged her firmly, which avoided a tragedy.
Cai Zhuoya was shocked and glad that she had been helped, but she soon realized that something was wrong.
Lu Haibing whispered in her ear and laughed, "Miss Cai, pay attention to safety!" As he spoke, his hand was still roaming around her waist, his snort gradually became heavier, and he even took a deep breath in embarrassment.
This reaction and action, no matter how you look at it, looks like eating tofu!
Cai Zhuoya instinctively felt disgusted, broke free of his hand with all her might, and said with a dark face: "Thank you Mr. Lu for your kindness, I can go by myself!"
Lu Haibing smiled, pasted it again, and reached out and hugged her waist again: "Is it? Miss Cai is going to go by herself, or does she want me to sign the contract?"
As soon as these words came out, Cai Zhuoya's heart suddenly shook!
Is this the unspoken rule of the legendary shopping mall? Is he sure I want to negotiate a contract, so he has the courage to take advantage of me?
It stands to reason that with Cai Zhuoya's background and personality, she will definitely scoff at this kind of behavior, but the situation is different at this time. In her opinion, the reason why Ma Fei got into this mess was, in the final analysis, because of the basket she poked.
In addition, Ma Fei personally went out to help her clean up the mess before, so that she was exempted from being punished by the unit, which made her doubly guilty.
In this case, if the reaction is too fierce and provokes Lu Haibing, in case the other party really tears his face and vetoes the cooperation between the two sides, wouldn't it hurt Ma Fei?
