The gray-haired old man is the patriarch of MBC, named Trump. He is not very much in favor of the cooperation between MBC and Shen Group.

In his opinion, the Shen Group's operating style is relatively conservative, which is somewhat in conflict with MBC's philosophy. He has done research on Haidong's business district, and he feels that the more radical Gao Group is more suitable as an MBC partner, and even the smaller Morita Company is a more suitable partner than the Shen Group. It's a pity that the preferential choice of cooperation with the Shen Group was a resolution after discussion by the board of directors, and Trump had no right to oppose it, so he had to pinch his nose and come to Haidong.

Because he didn't like the Shen Group very much, and he found out that Shirlia was greeting Shen Kuohai in very non-fluent Chinese, Trump immediately felt that Shirleya's posture was too low, and he was even suspected of embarrassing the MBC Group!

Hearing the displeasure in Trump's words, Shirlia didn't care, the reason why she wanted to speak Chinese was actually for Lu Chen. On the way to escape, Lu Chen used to teach her Chinese to pass the time, and at this time, Shirlia just wanted to tell Lu Chen that she had never forgotten what happened back then. Therefore, in response to Tramp's words, Shirlia just whispered back, "I have my own measure!"

Tump frowned secretly, unable to think of what the eldest lady was smoking, so he glanced at Sander behind him.

MBC Group is located in the French-speaking region of the Maple Leaf Country in North America, and the people within the group are generally fluent in both French and English, but most of the communication within the group is in French. Sander was the man in his thirties, fluent in many Chinese, who worked as Shirleya's assistant and worked as a part-time interpreter for the negotiations.

Sand smiled slightly, stepped forward, and said politely in fluent Chinese: "Hello Mr. Shen, I am Miss Shirleya's assistant Sander, I think, let's introduce the personnel of both sides first, Mr. Shen, what do you say?"

Shen Kuohai's identity is the chairman, so naturally he will not do the business of introducing people, so Lu Chen stepped forward and said in fluent French: "Hello Mr. Sander, my name is Lu Chen, and I am Mr. Shen's accompanying translator, and this gentleman is Mr. Shen's first assistant Li Qiang." As for Mr. Shen, I don't need to introduce him more. ”

The French with a strong Parisian accent made Sander stunned, he looked at Lu Chen in a little surprise, smiled, and then introduced the personnel on his side.

In addition to Shirleya, Trump, and Sander, another old man named Otmar is the second assistant to the chairman of MBC Group.

It was the first time for the two sides to meet, and after greetings, they exchanged their respective cooperation intentions. Interestingly, the documents on both sides are all in English and Chinese, which is quite comparative.

Although there was written information, there was still no substitute for verbal communication, and both sides were quite frank and frank about their principles and the desired way of cooperation. Lu Chen could see that the differences between the two sides were not too big, and he estimated that MBC and the Shen Group might soon reach a consensus and become business allies.

Originally, this was a gratifying thing, but Shen Kuohai and Li Qiang, as well as Shiria and Otma on the MBC side, had relaxed expressions.

But the expressions of Tump and Sander were a little stiff, especially when they reached a certain agreement, and both of them smiled very reluctantly.

Lu Chen couldn't help but mutter, could it be that these two guys don't want MBC and the Shen Group to cooperate?

Since the negotiations were not over, lunch was also eaten separately for both sides, with an hour and a half break after lunch.

After eating, the three of them arrived at Shen Kuohai's guest room, Shen Kuohai poured a glass of water and said, "Xiao Lu, what do you think of today's negotiation?"

"The atmosphere was nice. Lu Chen smiled, "MBC Group doesn't have any shelves. ”

Shen Kuohai smiled slightly, "You little slippery head! I didn't ask this, I asked you about the substance." ”

Lu Chen smiled and said, "I think...... The elasticity between the conditions for MBC and our actual bottom line is a bit small. ”

"Oh?" Shen Kuohai smiled, "Can you see where my bottom line is?"

"It should be 35% floating under the conditions of the opening, right?" Lu Chen said.

Shen Kuohai and Li Qiang glanced at each other, both showing surprised eyes, Shen Kuohai couldn't help but ask, "Lao Li, what did you tell Xiao Lu?"

Li Qiang shook his head, "No, I definitely didn't say it!"

"Uncle Shen, this judgment is based on my estimation based on your style of acting. Lu Chen said, "Uncle Li didn't tell me. ”

Shen Kuohai was silent for a moment, and then gave Lu Chen a thumbs up, "Xiao Lu, I have to say, you really impress me! Do you think that thirty-five percent of the floating space is still small?"

"It's small, it's too small!" Lu Chen said, "I think that when negotiating with these Westerners, we should leave at least 70% or even 100% of the floating space!"

"Isn't this too much?

Lu Chen said with a smile: "In fact, Westerners are more particular about asking for money than us, you see that Stars and Stripes country, calling all day long to fight this, sanction that, and eliminate so-and-so, and I haven't seen it really do it." In fact, all it needs is for the other side to buy them arms or give them some tariff preferences. So, when negotiating with these Westerners, you must first learn to bluff!"

Shen Kuohai thought for a while, "What you said makes sense, I really should have let you read those materials earlier! But I still can't learn that set...... If you follow what you said, wouldn't it be the conditions that MBC Group gave us, and the water is quite large?"

"That's right!" Lu Chen smiled, "We can double the benefits! Of course, in order to cooperate more happily in the future, let's not do things so ruthlessly." ”

Shen Kuohai laughed, "Xiao Lu, Xiao Lu, I think it's really condescending to let you be a translator, why don't you negotiate?"

"This can't be done!" Lu Chen hurriedly waved his hand, "I'm not familiar with the Shen Group, isn't the negotiation a nonsense!"

"Xiao Lu ......," Shen Kuohai said seriously, "Do you have any plans to be my assistant?" ”

"This ...... Let's wait until later, I'm just a shallow learner, and it's better to go to school now!" Lu Chen said with a smile.

Shen's Group was founded by Shen Kuohai, and now it is not only the leader of Haidong District, but also the number one in the business community of the entire China, and it can become Shen Kuohai's trusted assistant, which is already a good thing for ordinary people, but it is not attractive to Lu Chen, he is the eagle in the soaring sky, and now he is just temporarily resting in Haidong.
