Chapter 1219: Sincerity on both sides
My name is Edward Jason, and I am the negotiator sent by Kornhill. Jason strode forward to shake Xiao Ping's hand, and said to him with a smile: "It's really glad that Mr. Xiao is willing to come to see me, I hope this is a good start." ”
"I hope so. Xiao Ping smiled reservedly at Jason and followed him to a building in the club. Now that Xiao Ping has completely taken the initiative, of course, there must be some shelves, otherwise it will be very unfavorable to the next negotiations.
Jason took Xiao Ping to a comfortable room, poured him a glass of red wine and handed it over: "This is the 'Holy Pot' brand red wine imported from France, and it is also the best new wine on the market at present." I heard that it is also one of your company's products, and I personally really like it. ”
"It's over, thank you. Xiao Ping took the wine glass with a smile, took a sip and put it aside, and then there was a difficult silence.
Jason was also a master negotiator at Cornhill, otherwise the company's top brass would not have appointed him plenipotentiary. Jason deliberately set the negotiation venue in this beautiful golf club, and specially prepared the Holy Pot brand red wine, just to create a comfortable environment for the negotiation and at the same time shorten the distance with Xiao Ping.
However, a negotiating opponent like Xiao Ping had never met Jason before. He didn't say a word, so how could the negotiations begin?
But Jason knew in his heart that today's negotiations meant a lot to the company. Before leaving, the chairman met with Jason in person and told him that as long as the other party's conditions were not too excessive, he would try to reach a settlement. After all, this matter is a huge scandal for Kangshan, and if it is really revealed. It would be a fatal blow to the company's reputation.
Thinking of this, Jason didn't dare to delay any longer, so he could only stubbornly say to Xiao Ping: "Mr. Xiao." Let's get down to business. ”
Xiao Ping shrugged indifferently, indicating that Jason could start at any time. Jason is also unambiguous. He cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Xiao, first of all, please accept the sincere condolences of Mr. Smith, the president of our company, and all the members of the board of directors, they are very sorry for some unpleasantness that happened before. ”
Hearing Jason's words, Xiao Ping couldn't help but sneer secretly in his heart. The guy's tone sounded sincere, but the key issues were not mentioned. Words such as "sincere condolences" and "very sorry" are all neutral words, and they cannot be compared with the bad behavior of Kangshan Company.
Xiao Ping didn't give the other party, and immediately stood up and said, "I'm sorry, if your company has such an attitude towards this matter." Then we don't need to talk about it anymore!"
Putting down this sentence, Xiao Ping walked out without looking back. He really wanted to get more benefits for himself by settling privately with Kangshan Company, and at the same time save the trouble of protracted lawsuits with the other party.
However, all of this is based on the condition that Kangshan Company is soft, so that Xiao Ping can strive for more benefits for himself. If the other side has such an attitude and feels that there is nothing wrong with it, then today's negotiations will be completely meaningless. Instead of wasting time fighting with Jason here, Xiao Ping felt that it was better to scare the other party first, so as to save each other from fighting each other in the next negotiations.
I didn't expect Xiao Ping to say that he would leave. Jason was also taken aback, what he said just now did mean to shirk responsibility. Although these words cannot directly affect the outcome of the negotiations, they will have a certain impact.
If Xiao Ping did not raise an objection, he would have acquiesced in Jason's remarks. First of all, they will lose the momentum of the other party, and they will be passive in the next negotiations.
However, what Jason didn't expect was that Xiao Ping's reaction would be so strong. He was going to end the negotiations. He hurriedly got up and chased after him, stopped Xiao Ping and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao." Don't be impulsive. It was just a courtesy greeting from Mr. Smith and the Board of Directors, just to show their sincerity. It doesn't mean that the company's attitude is like that. If there are any problems, we can talk slowly, slowly!"
"Polite greetings?" Xiao Ping said expressionlessly: "I don't feel any sincerity from it, I only see the meaning of trying to shirk responsibility!"
Xiao Ping's ruthless words made Jason feel a little embarrassed, and it was rare for him to be so unkind in business negotiations. However, the current situation is very unfavorable to Kangshan Company, and he can only force a smile and say: "Mr. Xiao, you misunderstood, we definitely don't mean this." The fact that I invite you to come here today to negotiate shows that our company is very sincere. ”
Xiao Ping was not interested in talking to Jason on this issue, he had already made his attitude clear by doing so just now, telling the other party that he would never give in easily. Now that the goal has been achieved and Jason's arrogance has been successfully suppressed, Xiao Ping sat down again and said coldly: "Since you say so, let me see the sincerity of your company!"
"Good good, good good!" Jason wiped his sweat secretly, then opened a document and said: "In order to show our sincerity, we have decided to give your company two million dollars in compensation, and the person who planned this matter, the company's senior manager, Wales, will be asked to resign and will never enter the company again." ”
Xiao Ping shook his head and said, "Mr. Jason, I can't see where your company's so-called sincerity is. Two million dollars, a manager who made a big mistake, you're asking for food, aren't you?"
Jason held back his breath and said: "Mr. Xiao, we have expressed the highest sincerity, after all, this is Wales' own personal behavior, the board of directors is completely unaware of this matter, the company is equivalent to paying for him, it is already very good to be able to offer such conditions." ”
"Welsh's personal behavior?" Xiao Ping shook his head with a smile and said, "Mr. Jason, do you think this lame excuse can convince the judge and the jury? ”
Before Jason came to negotiate with Xiao Ping, he learned from the company's top management that the other party had evidence against the company. In fact, it is precisely because of this that Kangshan Company will agree to reconcile with Xiao Ping.
In fact, one of Jason's tasks in negotiating with Xiao Ping today was to find out how much evidence the other party had against the company. This can help the board decide how much it is worth settling with the other party.
So for Jason, Xiao Ping's words can be said to be right in the heart, and he hurriedly smiled: "Mr. Xiao's honesty is admirable, and I hope this is the beginning of our good cooperation." ”
"I've shown enough sincerity. Xiao Ping said to Jason expressionlessly: "It's up to your company now!"
Jason just smiled at Xiao Ping, and then picked up the information and looked at it. The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, and his face changed drastically, and he couldn't help but secretly curse Wales in his heart for being such a careless idiot, and it was too careless to leave so many tricks for the other party.
Speaking from the bottom of his heart, although the board of directors heard some rumors before sending Jason to negotiate with Xiao Ping, and knew that the other party had some evidence against Kangshan, it should be only scratching the surface at best. It is precisely because of this that Kangshan Company will issue a settlement of two million. You must know that the sales of the brand "Holy Pot" in three days are more than this number, and wanting to use such a small amount of money to solve the problem is enough to show that the board of directors does not attach great importance to this matter.
However, after reading the evidence that Xiao Ping has, Jason understands that this matter is not as simple as everyone thought before. The other party has mastered a complete chain of evidence, which can fully prove that Kangshan Biotechnology Company is the mastermind behind this incident.
If this matter is made public, Kangshan Company will definitely be discredited. Not only will you have to pay a huge amount of compensation, but your reputation in the mall will also be stinky, which is likely to affect your future business. The ensuing investigations can also leave companies struggling to cope with and potentially costly fines.
Although Kangshan Biotechnology has a strong strength and a deep background in political circles, these turmoil are not enough to shake the company's foundation, but it is always a troublesome matter.
This forced Jason to reassess the whole incident while his brain raced to think about what to do to deal with the new situation.
After handing over the information to Jason, Xiao Ping has been observing his reaction. Seeing that this guy first changed his face slightly after reading the information, and then his brows tightened, knowing that his plan to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger had succeeded.
Xiao Ping, who was secretly proud, did not urge, and waited for Jason to read all the information before he said slowly: "Mr. Jason, have you read all the evidence?" I think ...... Now it's time for Cornhill to show its sincerity. ”
Jason put down the information in his hand, pondered for a while, and then said to Xiao Ping: "Mr. Xiao, the company has always been very sincere. Since you're so honest, we'll say the same. In this way, the settlement money will be doubled, but all the evidence must be sealed forever, and it will never see the light of day again!"
Xiao Ping sneered: "Mr. Jason, I really can't see where your so-called sincerity is. In that case, we'd better see you in court!"
Jason didn't want to be threatened by Xiao Ping all the time, so he said hardly: "Mr. Xiao, frankly speaking, none of your evidence was obtained through legal channels, and even if it goes to court, it can't be used as evidence, in fact, it doesn't have much effect." ”
"Really?" Xiao Ping smiled at Jason and said, "I'll tell you the truth, I don't plan to use this evidence in court." I'm only going to announce this to the media at the same time as the trial, what do you think will happen then?"
Xiao Ping's words made Jason secretly shed a cold sweat, and if the media really reported these news all over the world at that time, it would definitely have a decisive impact on the trial process of the case. At the very least, it can sway the jury's opinion, and then Kangshan will be really in trouble.
Without waiting for Jason to speak, Xiao Ping said slowly: "And...... I still have evidence admitted by the court to convince the judge and the jury!" (To be continued......
