Chapter 1235: In Business
Luo Mutian came to Xilingchen's office.
As the head of the first family in Yixi Kingdom, he used to be in the country, and he hugged him everywhere he went, and he did enough pomp. But when he came to the Two Lakes Chamber of Commerce today, he was like the most ordinary businessman, with only one retinue by his side, acting as a secretary.
I honestly registered as a visitor at the front desk, and then followed the other party's process throughout the process. They were sometimes led to the east, sometimes to the west, and even the attendant gradually showed impatience. Luo Mutian was still good-natured all the way to others with a smile on his face and handed a cigarette.
After being told by the staff that President Xiling was processing the documents, he also waited outside the door honestly without complaining.
can bend and stretch, perhaps this is one of his advantages.
The Luo family has been able to develop so far, and it will naturally not be smooth sailing. Whether it is attached to the Blood Cloud Hall or the five major families, it can reflect Luo Mutian's judgment of the situation. When necessary, he will bend down to people and look like an obedient minion.
But even when he grovels, his bones never bend. All he wants is to accumulate energy for the time being, and one day pull the other party down!
After waiting for nearly an hour, Xilingchen officially invited him in.
Luo Mutian left his entourage outside the door and stepped into the office alone.
The environment of the room is very good, and all the decorations are the most elegant, but somehow, as soon as he steps here, there is an indescribable sense of oppression, so that he doesn't even know where to put his hands and feet.
In the past, even if it was the imperial palace, he had entered it more than once, and he thought that he was also a person who was used to seeing the world, but he had never experienced this kind of depression.
Perhaps because the owner of this office is now too far away from his identity. He is still the behind-the-scenes leader of that small country, but the other party is already a famous businessman who is enough to sit on an equal footing with the Mo family firm and stomp his feet to shake the world.
At this time, Xi Lingchen leaned on the wide sofa chair, crossed his hands, and looked at him in a rather provocative manner.
"Mr. Luo of Yixi Country is right, he has admired the name for a long time. He glanced at the chair that had been brought to him, "Come and sit down." ”
Both of them were born in the western country of Yixi, and now they meet in a foreign country, and the villagers see the villagers, but they don't see "two tears in their eyes" at all.
All around, on the contrary, there is always a strange atmosphere. It may be the vibration caused by the first collision between the two of them in this closed room.
Luo Mutian stiffened his steps, walked forward step by step, and sat down on the chair prepared for him. Then, he cleared his throat and first summoned a salutation that shocked Xiling Chen's eyebrows.
"Mr. Xiling. ”
It is quite rare to respectfully shout "sir" to a junior who is old enough to be his son. But with Xi Lingchen's current achievements, he really deserves it.
"I came here today to discuss a business with the merchants of the two lakes. ”
“…… But first, I would like to apologize to Mr. Xiling. Luo Mutian hesitated for a while, but still opened the most difficult topic, "Back then, our Luo family failed to prevent the death of the young master of Xiling North in the desperate situation, and in the subsequent war between the Xiling clan and the split family, we also chose to stand by and watch, resulting in the complete defeat ......of the split family, and I have always felt ashamed in my heart."
At the beginning, the Blood Cloud Hall Blood Skeleton went to the Western Kingdom of Yixi as a helper of the split family, but Luo Shenxing had just killed a member of the Blood Cloud Hall in the Demon War of the Six Imperial Desperate Realms not long ago, so as not to be seen as flawed, the Luo family at that time was too late to hide from the Blood Skeleton.
In addition, compared with the Luo family, the status of the Xiling family is too humble, and it is really not worth the Luo family's intervention, how do you know that today's situation is turned upside down.
Wanting to cooperate with the Lianghu Chamber of Commerce, what Luo Mutian was most worried about was that Xilingchen was still holding a grudge against the family's annihilation. This topic can't be avoided, and he can only make it clear in advance, hoping that by sincerely making amends, he can open up his net.
Xi Lingchen listened to his apology, but there was no wave on his face. Rummaging through the documents on the desktop for a while, he took out a form and pushed it in front of Luo Mutian.
"Don't talk about these things. ”
"Isn't it to talk about business? First fill in this letter of intent for cooperation, and the cooperation projects, start-up funds, operation cycles, etc., are all clearly listed on it. Then prepare a copy of your Luojia's business information and make a backup. If there is no problem with the approval of these documents, you can start working together. ”
Luo Mutian was surprised. Looking at the letter of intent he handed over, it was indeed in the format of a formal document, and for a while I didn't know if he was really talking about business, or if he was playing with himself?
"Mr. Xiling...... Do you really not hold a grudge against my Luo family?" he asked again hesitantly.
Xi Lingchen didn't hide it, he leaned back in his chair, and his tone was flat: "If I were in your position back then, I wouldn't have made a move." Since I can't do it myself, what right do I have to ask others to do it? ”
Originally, he always thought that after he was rich and powerful, the first thing he had to do was to destroy the Xiling Sect family and regain the position of the family leader, and the second was to take revenge on Ye Shuo, but he didn't expect that when these two things were really within reach, he didn't feel that he cared much about it.
The identity is different, and the vision is also different. Now he is no longer the nobody with narrow hatred "Leaf Killer", but a key figure in the center of the world economy. In his hands, more than a billion assets are flowing every day, and how can he have the leisure to worry about those mediocre people.
Luo Mutian saw that his expression was not like a joke, so he relaxed a little and began to fill out the form seriously.
In the meantime, Xi Lingchen has always looked at him casually. Half ridiculous, half warning:
"The Luo family was originally in Yixi Kingdom, but they were absolute underground giants. But now the person in charge of the underground market, I also have several. If you don't perform well, you will lose this cooperative status at any time, and I will remind you of this first. ”
Luo Mutian smiled bitterly, only to feel that every pen was heavy. Seeing that he didn't answer, Xilingchen asked with great interest:
"Speaking of which, what's the situation in Yixi now? Are the five major families still the five major families of the year?"
Luo Mutian could hear that the key thing he wanted to ask was the Xiling family. With a dry laugh, he could only answer truthfully:
"With the progress of the times, a hundred flowers are contending, and the status of our Luo family and the five major families is becoming more and more the same as before. ”
"Now the fastest growing in China is the nascent Dingtian faction. Its predecessor was still the Seven Great Sects of the Dingtian Mountain Range. I didn't expect that a poor and remote place could come out of the crisis of extinction and have today's status, which is really a serf's turnover......"
Speaking of which, he chose silence in time. remembered that Xilingchen was also from a humble background, but now he has completely turned over and is in charge. Talking to him about this is like a sarcasm.
Xi Lingchen didn't seem to hear it, and said with a light smile: "Is it? The Luo family is no longer good, so they found me, hoping to help you regain your position with the help of my Lianghu Chamber of Commerce?"
Luo Mutian sighed: "This is one of the reasons...... In addition, I thought about it, the Luo family in the past had the best relationship with the Xiling family, and I naturally hoped that I could repair my friendship with Mr. Xiling......"
In this sentence, even with the thickness of his face, he couldn't help but blush.
Even if the Luo family and the Xiling family really have a relationship, then the object of this friendship is definitely the Zong family rather than the split family. If you are good friends with the Zong family, what is the matter with Guanxi Lingchen? Half of that Zong family is still his enemy.
He knew it was inappropriate, but he could only say that. Now the Luo family and the Lianghu Chamber of Commerce are really too far apart in status, if it weren't for the old acquaintances of the past, I'm afraid that they wouldn't even have the qualifications to cooperate. Therefore, he can only grasp the only intersection and make a big fuss.
"Moreover, the dog Luo Shenxing is now studying in Tiangongmen. When he succeeds in cultivation, he will definitely be able to become a strong person. For the future development of the Two Lakes Chamber of Commerce, it can also play a complementary role. Please also ask Mr. Xiling to be able to read on this friendship between the two generations......"
Xi Lingchen smiled, pressed his palm slightly, and interrupted him: "Mr. Luo, I don't know if you are getting older, and you are becoming more and more emotional? ”
"I'll repeat it to you," at this moment, his posture was calm, and the shopping mall's strategizing momentum was fully displayed, "I am an authentic businessman, and everything is in business." I don't care what the other person's relationship is with me, I only value how much he can bring me benefits. As long as the interests are in place, even if it is an enemy, I can cooperate with him. But if the other party is not qualified, even if it is a close friend and family, I will not cooperate with him. ”
"Mr. Luo, you don't have to ask, what kind of relationship is between your Luo family and me, because it doesn't matter. ”
"From this moment on, all you need to think about is how to make money for me. If you have made enough money, I will naturally give you a satisfactory answer. ”
These words can be regarded as completely breaking the idea of Luo Mu Tianpan's friendship. In the second half of this meeting, he just filled out the form in an orderly manner, handed it to Xilingchen for a preliminary check, bowed to him again, and turned to leave.
Looking at his back, Xi Lingchen leaned himself into the chair completely, supported his head with the back of the chair, and the whole person looked very comfortable.
And his heart is far more comfortable than he shows.
At the beginning, the Luo family was an absolute behemoth in Yixi, and even the royal family had to rely on a few points, if in the past, he was a small child of the family, he could only look up to the head of the Luo family in the crowd, and he would never look at himself more.
I didn't expect that one day, someone who I couldn't reach would come to talk to me in such a low voice-
It's so satisfying. This is the dignity and satisfaction that comes with status......
Just now, he didn't want to humiliate Luo Mutian. It's just that he couldn't accept the change in the gap between the two, and the self-esteem in his bones made him humiliate himself.
Fortunately, this man also seems to be able to endure it. Although this sense of shame filled his whole body with blood, making him want to turn around and leave all the time, he was still able to sit there and fill out this letter of intent for cooperation during the whole process. Even the handwriting remains neat and emotional.
Because he knew that he had to borrow the status of the Two Lakes Chamber of Commerce. And his dignity for a while is worthless compared to the prospects of the Luo family.
Oh, that's good, that's exactly what I like to work with, and I know exactly what I need and what I don't need. In order to get what you need, you can endure humiliation that ordinary people can't endure......
"Help me contact the newspaper and send out the news that I am going to cooperate with Boss Luo, I want to warm up in advance. Leaning back in the chair and enjoying enough, Xi Lingchen slowly sat up straight, and instructed Liu Mo, who was waiting on the side, "Didn't you accept the little reporter's business card before, what is it called Song Qianqian?" ”
Hearing him ask for Song Qianqian's contact information, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed on Liu Mo's face, and she did not hide it, raised her head angrily, and threw down a sentence: "I tore it!"
"President, if you want to contact the newspaper office, just contact the president directly, why do you want to look for her?" Then, she walked to Xi Lingchen's side again, and said coquettishly, "What is that woman's intentions for you, it's not that you can't see it!"
Xi Lingchen was really made to cry and laugh by her for a while: "I said you...... It's part of your job to help your boss with the liaison, right?"
Liu Mo said confidently: "But helping the boss eliminate unnecessary contact is also one of my jobs!"
Looking at her appearance, she really thought that she had a special relationship with her, and even began to eliminate competitors. Xilingchen is helpless and funny, but watching the beautiful secretary be jealous is also a kind of style. That Song Qianqian is not an important person, so let her go.
"Then you can contact the president. By the way, help me make an appointment with Mr. Sheng of Shengyuan Group and have a meal together these days. ”
Liu Mo knew that the relationship between Xilingchen and that Sheng Zong was originally good - when you have money, everyone is your friend - and more importantly, after a while, it will be the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Shengyuan Group's new factory. At this time, I consolidated my friendship with him, just to get hot in advance. She has long been familiar with these operations of the president.
At that moment, she also walked away slowly with the smile of the victor.
The president's confidant, sure enough, is still only himself. From now on, she will no longer be a threat. I tried to get close to the president, but in the end, it was still empty.
……
On the other side, Luo Mutian walked out of Xi Lingchen's office, and the entourage waiting outside immediately stepped forward to help him carry his bag.
"Mr. Luo, how are you talking?" the attendant asked with concern when he saw that his face was not good.
Luo Mutian sighed heavily, and only replied one sentence:
"The Xiling family has produced a great character!"
If it weren't for the declining status of the Luo family and the difficulty of stepping onto the world stage, he wouldn't want to ask a junior for cooperation in such a low voice.
It's his father who has no ability, so he let Shen Xing stay alone in Tiangongmen, and he has no family power to rely on.
Now, he still has to count on Shen Xing in turn.
As long as he comes out of the Tiangong Gate, the Naluo family ...... You can follow him and raise your eyebrows completely!
