Chapter 142: The Respect of the Opponent
Nie Shuhong's interest gradually became stronger. The scene in front of him made him even more full of anticipation while worrying.
has been under the suppression of Xiao Zhufang's commanding work style, Nie Shuhong has a strong resistance to female bosses. This sudden rise of young girls is no exception.
An accountant always has a cautious character, but such caution is often accompanied by resilience. Nie Shuhong is very resilient to the resistance of female leaders, and he can wait for years and months for his resentful boss to make a mistake instead of rashly challenging it.
This may be empathy, Nie Shuhong waited for this immature girl to make a mistake.
"Mr. John. I am sure that there is no contradiction between your protection and cooperation with us. This does not seem to be the reason and basis for making the clause so harsh. An agreement that spans so long is in itself a protection for your bank. Why do you work with us? Because you have your eyes on the future of our company and our potential. If you just follow industry practice in this partnership, it seems unlikely that we will have a promising future. Su Qing finally broke the dull silence after a long period of silence.
John exhaled softly as the girl opened her mouth, and he had to feel a little anxious after waiting for so long.
As the girl replied, his nerves tensed.
"Miss Su is not optimistic about our cooperation? Can I understand that Miss Su wants to reject the agreement we made? Decline our loan to your company. John was annoyed.
Although he understands that such emotions are taboo in business negotiations, the age and attitude of the other party are irritating him.
I am not willing to be so passive. The long wait has put itself in passivity.
"We are not saying no to this collaboration. I am even looking forward to working with you. I look forward to working with a bank like yours with a deep international background. The reputation of Bank H is the precipitation of a hundred years of history, and Bank H has always had a forward-looking vision that transcends the times in history. We are proud to work with you. But we reject cooperation that would make us lose our self-esteem, and we refuse cooperation that disregards our interests. We are not a big company, but we believe in our potential. We believe in our attractiveness to your bank. Su Qing didn't have any fluctuations, and her tone remained the same.
Dull reignisted over the room, and the silence was oppressive.
John was touched by the other man's speech, and he fell into a brief moment of contemplation.
Nie Shuhong's mood fluctuated, and he was amazed by the sharpness of the two negotiation opponents and their grasp of proportion. At this moment, I have an impulse, an impulse to applaud both sides. He's looking forward to the next encounter.
The strong antipathy for girls is disappearing little by little.
The atmosphere in the other office is becoming more and more congenial.
The aroma of coffee fills the room.
"Thank you for the coffee. I guess this must be for me. I am touched by your kindness. Kevin Lu stirred the cup in his hand.
"Huh. You deserve it. Although I have known you for a long time, I have only heard of him by name, but I have never seen him. It wasn't until you came to the company that I saw the demeanor of the elite. To tell you the truth, this is also a process from suspicion to convincing. After all, it takes courage for someone my age to bow down to a young man. Kevin, if it weren't for Su Qing's relationship, I would really cooperate with you to bring Lingyun Company to a new level. Unfortunately, things in the world are not perfect. Xiao Zhufang's tone was as complex as the way she looked at the young man.
Kevin Lu sighed, he was not only for the girl mentioned by the other party, but also for another person.
"Yes, there are always things that don't go well in the world. Su Qing is one thing, and Mr. Ning is not another factor. The reason why I came to Lingyun Company is also because of your relationship. I, as a younger brother, won't hide it from you, after all, you are also Mr. Ning's relative. Your strength made Mr. Ning very distressed, so he thought of me. My arrival may be a shock to you. But I understand you, you are working hard to help Mr. Ning, and you are trying to maintain the balance between Ning and Xiao in Lingyun. It's a hard job, and it's a cause that isn't easy to understand. You're doing a great job. Lu Kaiwen didn't deliberately raise his eyes, he seemed to be expressing his emotion in his own words.
Xiao Zhufang, who was listening, frowned slightly, and the gratitude and resentment in her heart were growing at the same time.
As for Su Qing, she was just an accident. We all started looking at this girl from the beginning. There is nothing wrong with our original intention, it's just that you pay too much attention to your family affection and focus too much on your emotional world. Think about it from another angle, we are the guardians of Lingyun Company, and we must have the mind to cultivate the new generation. No matter what the future of Su Qing and Ning Yu is, no matter how uncomfortable Su Qing is, in Lingyun Company, we must first consider it from the perspective of a manager. It's just a little bit of my personal opinion. Also, Su Qing and I don't have a special relationship, maybe we had it before, but now it's completely a colleague relationship. Lu Kaiwen finally raised his eyes and looked at the other party.
Xiao Zhufang's vision gradually changed, from surprise to suspicion, and finally to relief.
It was just that a new touch was added to her heart, and she clearly realized that it was curiosity.
What is the reason for the envoy relationship between these two people who could not have a special relationship? What is the extent of such a special relationship? And what caused the breakdown of their special relationship.?
Xiao Zhufang believes that Lu Kaiwen will not lie to her, and his status and wealth make people believe his words. That means that Su Qing no longer has this special protection.
"Kevin, does that mean you'll be neutral about Su Qing's affairs? Can I understand it that way? Xiao Zhufang's inquiry exposed her heart's unwillingness to Su Qing.
Kevin Lu couldn't hide his disappointment anymore, and he frowned again.
"What? Do you think my sister is a little narrow-minded? Xiao Zhufang saw the other party's displeasure.
"Sister Zhufang, you are wrong. Su Qing didn't come to this day because of my protection. I couldn't protect her, it was she who won the right to be protected. She used the platform provided to her by Mr. Ning and I to show her talents. She earned everyone's respect. It is this era that has created young people like Su Qing. All we can do is take advantage of the situation, not go head-to-head with them. If we want to create greater brilliance, we must make good use of these young people. Kevin Lu had to give his own answer.
Xiao Zhufang was a little stunned, and the young man opposite made her unexpected. Although Su Qing had an opportunity that made her envious, she didn't expect that she would have such a high evaluation in the minds of these excellent men.
Lu Kaiwen also had a brief silence after the catharsis, and he savored the comments he rushed out of his mouth in the silence. I seem to have suddenly found the answer.
That scheming girl still has a place in her heart. She used to move herself, she used to make herself pay attention.
The two people invariably fell into silence and stalemate because of one person.
"I'm sorry, Miss Su. Although your words are convincing and we are touched by the high opinion you have of us, we will not change our principles. We are a commercial bank, and commercial banks regard profit and risk aversion as the highest principle. This time is no exception. "John is finally starting to be tough. He likes the challenge and the atmosphere makes him very interested.
He wanted to stimulate the girl opposite, he wanted to test the resilience of the girl's immature face.
"Since Mr. John has laid down the terms of this agreement so harshly, it means that this agreement is extremely risky. Is that so? Su Qing's tone suddenly softened.
A hint of confusion swept over John's eyelids, and he was a little puzzled and wary of the girl's sudden change.
"Yes. . . Your company's situation is obvious. John's answer was hesitant. He does not believe that a seemingly casual remark from the other side in the negotiation will be unnutritious nonsense.
"Okay, but we have been guaranteed by Mr. Lu Kaiwen, which means that we have insured this agreement, and the risk you mentioned should not exist. As far as I know, once this agreement comes into effect, your company will have recourse against Mr. Kevin Lu, and as two companies under the same U.S. structure, your company will not have to worry about recourse at all. Looking at the Chinese market, our company seems to be more qualified for good cooperation with your company. Is it? Mr. John. Su Qing's tone magically changed back to speed and anger.
John's confusion is even stronger, and he sensitively captures emotions that the girl shouldn't have.
As for why the girl has such strong emotions about the guarantee clause? He couldn't find a reasonable explanation for it.
"Miss Su, please don't get excited, the guarantee is just a practice for loans. You should understand this. John responded with an understatement.
"Routine? I have never seen such a convention. It is normal practice for us to obtain convincing guarantees and that you should give us the most favoured treatment. But I don't see it in this agreement at all. I send Mr. John a Chinese idiom: you can't have both fish and bear's paws. Su Qing replied fiercely to John's arrogance.
John was a little confused, and he turned to the handsome young man beside him.
The young gentleman removed the complicated gaze that was placed on Su Qing, and he whispered an explanation in John's ear.
Then John raised his eyes to look at the girl opposite, and he felt the urge to take a closer look at the other party.
"I have to say that your words touched me. I'd like to hear your advice. John, after careful scrutiny, finally made a compromise.
There was an immediate slight commotion in the conference room. Such an uproar came from the entourage of the bank.
Nie Shuhong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his hanging heart finally let go.
Regardless of the final outcome, he witnessed a business encounter. Witness the tenacity of a girl.
Su Qing also felt a little tired with the relief that came over her. She tightened her body.
A faint smile crossed the corner of John's mouth on the other side. There was a hint of indulgence in the smile.
Su Qing caught the other party's smile, and she smiled for the first time.
"Mr. John, I have two suggestions. The first suggestion was to revoke Mr. Kevin's guarantee. We agree to your harsh conditions. The second suggestion is that if you keep the guarantee clause, then we ask for a new revision of the clause and we are involved in the negotiation of the amendment. I hope you will consider my suggestion. Su Qing's tone quickly became serious as the smile disappeared.
John was slightly surprised, he was surprised by Su Qing's first suggestion, which was beyond his expectations.
He seemed to have made up his mind after a brief moment of confusion.
"Miss Su Qing, I can't give you a clear answer right now. We'll take your suggestion back to discuss. With John's decision, he stood up.
The bank's entourage stood up, seemingly prepared for such an outcome.
Su Qing and Nie Shuhong also stood up, and they made a gesture of preparing to send off the guests.
John hesitated and did not move.
All the entourage looked at their account director.
"Miss Su, I have a personal proposal, I want to invite you to dinner." John finally spoke in hesitation.
All eyes were on the young girl.
Su Qing was a little overwhelmed, she didn't have such preparations. Although I once felt the other person's affectionate gaze, I was still unprepared for such a dramatic change.
"Of course, it would be better if we could invite Mr. Nie with us. Mr. Kevin Lu will also come, we are good friends. John was quick to make amends.
Su Qing's heart rippled. She had an uncontrollable heartbeat.
"On behalf of Lingyun Company, I accept your invitation. Mr. Nie and I are honored. As for Mr. Kevin Luk, I hope you will have him as you wish. After all, with him present, we can have a more convenient private communication. Thank you for your hospitality, and thank you for your thoughtfulness. Su Qing looked at Nie Shuhong next to her, and the joy in her heart was already overflowing.
Kevin Lu received a call for an invitation, and he accepted it without hesitation.
"Sister Zhufang, are you interested in attending the dinner that Mr. John of Bank H invited us to?" Lu Kaiwen, who hung up the phone, turned to Xiao Zhufang, who was full of anticipation.
"Dinner? How? Successful negotiations? Xiao Zhufang's tone was complicated.
"Hehe, not yet, just an ordinary dinner party." A relaxed smile bloomed on Kevin Lu's face.
"Ahh I thought it worked. Xiao Zhufang was slightly disappointed and had a faint joy at the same time.
"As is customary in the average American, a private banquet for a negotiating opponent is a sign of success. So, I'm sure that the cooperation between Lingyun and Bank H has begun. Lu Kaiwen seemed to be joking with Xiao Zhufang.
Xiao Zhufang was stunned for a while, she didn't know how to express her mood at the moment.
"Sister Zhufang, since opponents can have such a mind, we might as well put it down for the time being. Either way, it's a win for the company. Lu Kaiwen's tone became soft and full of emotion.
Xiao Zhufang smiled bitterly.
Such an ending was both unexpected and unexpected.
Judging from the calmness shown by Kevin Lu after he came, she seems to have such preparations.
