After the people on Yueli's side arrived, the two sides soon entered the formal negotiation link, and Yueli's people shook their heads as expected after reading the offer given by TUMI, "This price is too low, does TUMI have the sincerity to acquire Yueli?"

Qing Huan's representatives also tried their best to defend, "If it weren't for the news that TUMI was going to acquire Yueli, which increased consumers' confidence in purchasing, your market performance in the past two years may not have reached the current standard, and TUMI really shouldn't pay for this part of the premium." ”

"But now that we've increased our valuation, it's unfair to us to buy it at the price we paid two years ago. ”

"But have you ever wondered if consumers will still be interested in your brand if the news of TUMI not buying you gets out.......?

"At present, TUMI is not the only century-old brand of luggage, there are other companies that are interested in us. ”

…….

Later, everyone argued that they had no strength, and still no useful results came out, during which Qing Huan found that Yueli's president, He Shijun, had been sitting there silently and had not expressed any opinions. At that time, she had a faint bad premonition in her heart, feeling that this negotiation was estimated to be yellow.

Sure enough, at the end, He Shijun suddenly stood up and announced very strongly that if TUMI still insisted on such a low offer, then they would not continue to negotiate with TUMI about the acquisition.

Qing Huan saw that the face of the leader of the negotiation team on his side suddenly became ugly, he nodded, saying that he would bring Yueli's words to TUMI, and then left with the members of the group.

When she stood up, Qing Huan found that Youdao's eyes had been staring at her, she looked over, but found that it was He Shijun, he was looking at herself thoughtfully, she was shocked, not sure if he had denied himself, so she had to keep her head down as much as possible, and then left Yueli's conference room quickly.

After going back, Edward learned the result of today's negotiations, he sat behind his desk with a calm face, and asked after a while: "Do you know which company Yueli is still in contact with?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Go check, check it for me, you didn't even prepare for this before you went to negotiate, and it's a shame to talk about something......" Edward suddenly lost his temper.

Everyone was taken aback by his sudden outburst of temper and hurriedly prepared to leave Edward's office.

"Now the people who dare to grab food in TUMI's mouth are none other than those companies, and at present, they plan to explore overseas markets, especially the Asian market, only Merlin, so I think it must be Merlin who is in contact with Yueli, so they will be so confident to reject TUMI's offer. At this time, Qing Huan suddenly plucked up his courage and spoke quietly.

The office suddenly fell silent, and Edward stopped talking, just looked at Qing Huan quietly, and after a long while, he waved his hand tiredly, "You guys go out first, I will inform them of the outcome of this negotiation over there." ”

After returning to her seat, Qing Huan began to read Yueli's information again. And re-valuing it, its current market value is indeed similar to the first estimate of itself, TUMI has always been strong, and did not pay attention to Yueli's appreciation, and thought that no one would dare to come to the tiger's mouth, so I have been very relieved, but I didn't expect a Merlin to come out halfway.

She sighed softly, as long as Merlin casually gave a price according to Yueli's current valuation, she could easily surpass TUMI, and if she was Yueli's boss, she would definitely be willing to sell to Merlin.

At this time, the mobile phone beeped, it was a message from Frank, saying that he was waiting for her on that street at 7 o'clock, Qinghuan glanced at the time, and it was 7 o'clock in 15 minutes, so he cleaned up and hurried to the location where Frank parked.

Located in a Japanese restaurant in downtown Manhattan.

"How is it, is the negotiation with Yueli going well today?" Frank asked with a slight smile as he poured a glass of sake for Qing Huan.

"Not good, not much progress. Qing Huan took a sip of the wine glass and replied a little absent-mindedly.

"I think so, as far as TUMI is the best in the world, it never really puts anyone in its eyes, it wants to buy Yueli strongly this time, but I didn't expect that the other party is also a hard bone, and it is not so easy to gnaw down. Frank said as if he hadn't expected it.

Qing Huan seemed to react at this time, and raised his head suspiciously, "I never told you what project I was involved in, how do you know that it is Yueli and TUMI's project?"

Frank was stunned for a moment, then took a slow sip of his glass, "I guess ......"

Qing Huan choked when he heard this, and was so angry that he stood up and made a gesture to take the bag and leave.

"Hey, don't worry, I really guessed. Frank grabbed her.

"If you don't tell the truth, I'm really leaving, and you won't contact me again. Qing Huan said with a sinking face.

"Sit down and let me tell you slowly. Frank pushed her back and sat down before he said, " I really guess, because it is no secret that TUMI wants to acquire Yueli, and TUMI wants to promote this matter, there are only a few investment banks to find, and you can count them on your fingers, and now it is neither us nor the few I know, the most likely is your company, so I asked you to go to Edward and let him give you the project to do, because Yueli is a Chinese company, you are also Chinese, he will see you must feel that you are all Chinese, you will know more about the ideas of the people on Yueli's side, so that the negotiation may be easier, so he will definitely let you participate in Yueli's project。 ”

"That's why you're going to let me go to Edward?" Qing Huan looked at him incredulously, "What if you guess wrong and he drives me home directly?"

"I won't be mistaken, I still know Edward well. Frank said, "I won't let you take risks without being completely sure, as long as Yueli's project is in your company, and you can make him notice you, he will definitely let you participate." ”

Qing Huan looked at Frank's confident appearance, a little dumbfounded, and really speechless.

"Don't look at me like that, you said you want to be part of the project, don't you? I'm just trying to help you as much as I can. Frank raised his forehead, "And you've achieved your goal now, which shows that my reasoning is not wrong." ”

Qing Huan didn't bother to continue arguing with him, and began to bury his head in eating.

"But your negotiation shouldn't be smooth, right? TUMI's price is so low, Yueli won't accept it. Frank said as he put a slice of sashimi into his mouth.

"As you said, TUMI is used to being strong, and has always thought that Yueli's appreciation is because of them, so it insists on not being willing to give the price to Yueli's current market, plus it thinks that no one dares to compete with it, so it is determined that Yueli has no other way out except to cooperate with it, and the two sides will be deadlocked for so long because of the price. Qing Huan saw that he had already guessed, and he didn't hide it, and directly said his opinion.

"So TUMI made the offer two years ago?" asked Frank, looking down as he ate, vaguely asked.

"Yes, they are really reluctant to let go in this regard, but if there is more floating, I think Yueli should also agree, after all, the acquisition agreement was initially reached. Qing Huan said helplessly.

Frank nodded thoughtfully and didn't ask any further.

After eating, Qing Huan still rejected his suggestion to send him home, and took a taxi back to the apartment, just when she was about to open the door, she saw the light in the living room inside, she was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly pushed the door open and went in, and sure enough, she saw Su Jing's figure, she was sticking a mask on her face, and she was mixing salads in the kitchen.

"Why did you come back, I was going to wait for you to come back from work to surprise you, and then take you to eat steak, but I woke up, and you haven't come back yet, so I had to make some salad for yourself." Su Jing heard the sound of the door opening, and when she turned around and saw Qing Huan, she complained.

"I was working on a project, so it was a little late. Qing Huan smiled and said, in the end, he still didn't have the confidence to tell Su Jing that he was going out to eat with Frank.

"Then do you want to have some food together? The restaurant outside is also closed at this point, right?" Su Jing put the salad on the table and said.

"No, my colleague ordered takeout when I was working overtime, and I also ate some, and I'm not hungry. Qing Huan waved his hand, "By the way, shouldn't you be back this weekend? Why did you come back so long in advance?"

"White has some things to deal with in a hurry, the original vacation can't be over, and it's not fun for me to be alone in Hawaii, so I just came back with him. Su Jing tore off the mask on her face and glanced up at Qing Huan, "By the way, we have a party on the weekend, and he wants to introduce me to his family, so come along." ”

Qing Huan was stunned for a moment before saying, "Is it okay for me to appear on such an occasion?"

Su Jing rolled her eyes, "What's wrong, you are my best friend, so you naturally have to appear, besides, this is a party, and some of his closer friends will also appear, do you think it's an occasion to meet parents like in China?"

Qing Huan had nothing to say, nodded and agreed.

At noon the next day, Qing Huan and Nina were about to go to lunch together, and before they reached the elevator, they saw Edward walking out of the office with a low pressure on his face.

Qing Huan and Nina naturally didn't dare to go up and sit in the same elevator with him, so they had to wait for him to leave before getting on another elevator.

"What's wrong with him, his face is so ugly, is there something wrong with the previous project?" Nina asked her softly after entering the elevator.

Qing Huan shook his head, "I don't know, the negotiation was a little unsmooth before, but I didn't see him like this yesterday, I don't know what went wrong later." ”

Nina pursed her lips and asked no more.

And when Qing Huan arrived in the afternoon, he knew why Edward's face was so ugly at noon.
