Section 14 Scavengers
As he spoke, a malicious smile appeared on his face.
"Mr. Ren," he said to the young man opposite. "We've talked a few times, so you should show some sincerity now, right?"
This is a spacious and bright office located in a medium-sized office building in W City. Both the dΓ©cor and the furniture in the rooms show the dynamism of a new company flourishing. However, at this time, the young man sitting in the master of the room had a sad face, as if he had just eaten a bunch of yellow lotus.
He cupped his chin in his fist and looked at the person opposite. The guest opposite was twenty or thirty years older than him, and he was dressed in a workplace suit. Although he was a guest, he pressed his hands on his desk in an aggressive gesture and stared at the young opponent in front of him.
Both men maintained their movements and expressions motionless. One wants to increase the mental pressure on the other person in this way, and the other knows what he is thinking. The whole room was so quiet that you could hear the tip of a needle falling to the ground.
There was a faint sound of water outside. Neither of them reacted, though. None of them were newcomers, so they all knew that it was the big octopus that had nothing to do and splashed around.
It is not very common for modern people to keep a large octopus in a fish tank. But octopuses are inherently cartilage-shaped. Although Squidward is a large beast large enough to treat humans as a meal (no bigger than a tiger or a lion, both on land and in water), Squidward is capable of shrinking his massive body into a vase that doesn't look particularly large. Therefore, this camouflage greatly reduces the fear of large beasts in humans. After seeing Squidward, the first-time guests at most only thought it was strange for someone to keep an octopus as a pet, but they didn't think too much about it. After all, there are a lot of people with special quirks these days - this is especially obvious among the wealthy.
"What kind of sincerity do you want?" Ren Jian rubbed his temples vigorously. He had heard the saying before that if a person was under too much mental stress or too much thinking or restlessness - in short, when the brain was overworked, the Great Yang acupoint would ache faintly. He once thought that this kind of thing was a legend to him, and even if he encountered it, he would not be in his seventies or eighties. But now it seems that the so-called "juvenile premature aging" is not false. Wu Zixu's overnight white-headed affair in Shaoguan is at least theoretically possible.
"Sign a letter of intent, and I can make a difference to our President Tang. β
"Letter of intent?" Ren Jian looked at him a little inexplicably. The other party's request made him unable to reply for a while. Yes, the other party is very hateful, it is simply a stone, taking advantage of the fire to rob. But let's be honest, there is no worst in the mall, only worse. The so-called not afraid of not knowing the goods, just afraid of comparing goods is this meaning. Although the conditions put forward by this person are harsh, it is difficult to say what the conditions of others are.
In addition, although the letter of intent is written in black and white, it is just as much as an empty promise. To put it bluntly, a letter of intent is a document of intent between two or more parties to express a preliminary idea before formally signing a treaty or reaching an agreement on a certain matter. You can follow the letter of intent, you can modify it, you can violate it, you can not honor it. To put it bluntly, it is an intentional document anyway and has no binding force. Whether you do it or not is entirely up to you.
Seeing that the other party didn't react for a long time, the middle-aged man couldn't help but increase the pressure a little.
"Mr. Ren," he said. The other party is such a young man who has not grown all his hair, but he has a huge amount of money, and when he becomes the boss, it is impossible to say that it is impossible not to make people jealous. So looking at the embarrassed appearance of the other party at this time, although there is no direct benefit, it is also comforting. "Our price is already very sincere......"
"It's too low. Ren Jian couldn't help but retort. "It's a robbery!"
"Robbery?oh, Mr. Ren is still a little younger after all. The mall is all about fair trade, you and I will," he said slowly. "On the premise of abiding by the law, is there anything wrong with the trading that you want me to do?"
This sentence may make people angry, and it may break the last shred of courage to resist, but obviously this time the latter factor is greater. Ren Jian glared angrily at first, but finally slowly lowered his head.
"I have a guest in the morning," Ren said. "Mr. Qian, let's talk about this matter tomorrow. β
"But it doesn't affect our negotiations, right?" He is now slowly sure that the other party is indeed a rookie, at most he can only say that he has a concept of the mall, but he doesn't know that the so-called mall is like a battlefield, since ancient times, in addition to head-on battles, there are also all kinds of insidious and ruthless strategies. In fact, although it is generally believed that strength, that is, the amount of money, is the most fundamental factor, there is never a shortage of intrigues and tricks. The most important thing is that what seems harmless does not mean that it is actually harmless. But this is usually not understood by hairy boys. Either there is such an old businessman around you to teach, or you have to go to the various bows and arrows and wax guns yourself. The so-called "payment of tuition" is a high-level summary of such situations. The only problem is that tuition fees can also be too expensive for you to pay.
It's a little trick that makes no sense to a mall veteran. But it's hard to say for newcomers. The letter of intent itself doesn't count, and even if it is torn up openly, there are no bad consequences. It's not a formal agreement anyway, and no one can say anything about you. However, it exposes people's hole cards. And the exposure of the hole cards means that all room for bargaining is lost. The loser who loses the room for bargaining becomes a reservoir dog that everyone can fight, a delicacy on the table that everyone can come over and take a bite of.
There was a knock on the door outside.
"Come in!" Ren Jian said almost with a sigh of relief. He has been pressed so hard by his opponents that he desperately needs a short halftime break.
Outside the door came in a young female secretary, the one who could be seen at a glance as having just graduated from college and was just starting to work. The visitor once again gave a low score in his heart, although it is said that a young face will look a little energetic, but the premise is that the whole company has passed the initial initial period, sorted out various relationships, and entered a good state that can run itself without the intervention of the CEO. Until then, experience is still a priority.
And this one is obviously caused by the personal preference of the boss. So far, he couldn't find anything in the small new company that made him noteworthy.
The door opened, and in came a strange young man, who was not a professional from the casual clothes. In terms of age, it seems to belong to the kind of people who have not grown their hair in their early twenties.
The middle-aged man's gaze swept over him, and then he noticed the expression on Ren Jian's face. Anyone could tell that the two young men were clearly in some kind of close relationship, either friends or cousins.
Because the host on the front side has already sent off the guests, it is not the same thing for him to stay any longer. If the guest who came just now was a formally dressed person, perhaps he would have to stay for a while to find out the identity of the other party. Especially if it's a banker, then it has to be taken seriously. But the person who came here was obviously not a professional, so there was no need for him to waste time and cause unhappiness to others.
And this dusty garment...... It doesn't look like a rich man. One is not a rich second generation, the other is not a bank worker, in short, he is not the one who provides financial support to Ren Jian, so there is no conflict with his plan.
However, it is clear that the other party is dressed as neither a professional nor a rich person, but it makes people feel that there is some kind of ...... Incongruous, unnatural feeling.
He walked towards the door, and it was only when the two of them passed by that he realized that something was not quite right. It's the other person's look and temperament! There is a certain ...... Some kind of ...... It's not ordinary, or rather the temperament that shouldn't be seen in a young person.
Only those high-ranking officials, or the CEOs of large companies, those who are above everyone, who are accustomed to giving orders and are well-informed, have the calm temperament that only those who are above everyone else. It is not that he deliberately suppresses his impulses, nor is he too sluggish to lack a keen sense of external reactions, but because he has seen the wind and waves and has been tested, so he seems to be unfazed and calm as an abyss. People instinctively feel that they must be cautious when fighting against this kind of opponent, because it is easy to see through.
However, this is not possible. The so-called "dwelling and migrating qi, nourishing and migrating the body", generally speaking, people's temperament is shaped by the environment. If it was a war year, they would still be high-ranking officials in their teens or twenties, but how could there be such people in peacetime? Not to mention high-ranking officials, even county magistrates, section chiefs, and the like, they were all young in their thirties.
"Is it a delusion?" he had the idea after he went out.
"Lu Wu, you're finally here!" I couldn't tell what Ren Jian's expression was at the moment, when he saw Lu Wu, he immediately seemed relieved, but then he became nervous again. "You ...... just now"
Although Lu Wu only traveled to Southeast Asia for a period of time, the beginning and end of the period were a few months. However, Ren Jian could feel that something was happening to Lu Wu...... Sort of quite a change. Of course, this may just be an illusion, after all, from Ren Jian's point of view, Lu Wu just accompanied his girlfriend on a trip. Although tourism itself has the effect of increasing knowledge, it is not so much that playing in a foreign country for a few months directly changes people's temperament, but in any case, Lu Wu's eyes are more peaceful and tranquil than before leaving.
"I stood outside for a while," Lu Wu said. "Who was that guy just now?"
"It's just a hyena...... Ah, in fact, it is not a hyena, but a hyena's subordinates. Ren Jian replied dejectedly, and at the same time motioned for the secretary to leave, and pulled a chair for Lu Wu.
"What do you mean? hyenas?"
"Eating corpses...... Just for example, that guy's surname is Qian, and he negotiated on behalf of their boss to buy a steel factory. β
