Chapter 645: Let's Talk!
The sedan stopped on the side of the road after about a quarter of an hour. The driver respectfully got out of the car and opened the door for the two of them, showing his humility.
Lin Ze got out of the car first, looked around vigilantly, and fulfilled the obligation of a temporary bodyguard.
"You didn't rest last night?" Xue Baiyan asked beside Lin Ze when he got out of the car.
Lin Ze was slightly stunned, and then nodded and said, "Hmm." β
"Haven't slept all night?" Xue Baiyan asked again.
"Slept for a few hours." Lin Ze grinned. Windward lit a cigarette.
"This dress is not yours." Xue Baiyan said softly and walked forward.
This is a clubhouse suitable for business talks. It's different from the last time I needed a membership card to enter the clubhouse. This clubhouse was chosen in a more public place. There are all kinds of guests who can come here. As long as you can afford it, you can spend money here to save face.
As soon as the two entered, a Watanabe family general who had been waiting for a long time led the way. I came to the negotiation room very smoothly.
The room is very elegant, not as luxurious as the fragrance pavilion that Watanabe Shin built before, but it has an elegant taste.
In the room, a woman in a kimono kneels beside the coffee table and expertly brews tea, while a young man with equally skilled skills sippers. Seeing Xue Baiya come in, he got up from the ground without being humble or arrogant, and smiled at Xue Baiya: "Miss Xue, please." With that, he gestured to the opposite of him.
No chairs. It is a very standard Tokyo method. Need to be half-kneeling on the ground.
Xue Baiya's brows frowned slightly, glanced at the chair against the wall, and said lightly: "I don't have the habit of kneeling on the ground." With that, he walked straight to the chair by the wall and sat down gracefully.
The young man didn't react, and naturally walked over to the other chair and smiled, "Then sit and talk." β
Dismounted?
Xue Baiyan narrowed her foxy eyes slightly, took the tea handed by the kimono girl and took a sip, without saying a word.
The young man is Watanabe's new second young master, who is not favored and extremely low-key. It seemed a little difficult for him to be ordered to be in danger this time, but he agreed very easily. and said that he would wipe this ass for his brother. As for how to wipe it, it depends on his ability.
The family has instructed that it would be best if this cooperation could be negotiated. Even if it can't be negotiated, there is no need to force it.
Now Watanabe Shinzheng is being harassed by the Kanda family, and he doesn't have much energy to deal with the negotiations with the Xue family. It would be a pity to lose a powerful ally of China. But compared with the current difficulties of the Kanda family, they hope that the family will not be seriously damaged. Otherwise, even if you can negotiate cooperation with the Xue family, there will not be too much money pouring into Huaxia.
Pay for one's whistle.
This can be seen from the fact that the Watanabe family sent the second young master, who is not reused, to negotiate.
It was impossible for Xue Baiya to find out all the thoughts of the Watanabe family, but he could also guess a rough idea. So he didn't care about Watanabe Koichi's approach, and even brushed it off.
Watanabe Koichi's expression was just right from beginning to end, tepid, and his long and narrow eyes revealed a castle that only an old fox had. He took a sip of the teacup and said with a smile: "First of all, I apologize for what my brother did to Mr. Lin. This could not have happened, perhaps my brother was instigated to do so. β
"It's okay." Lin Ze lit a cigarette and shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
"I'll replace wine with tea and toast Miss Xue." Watanabe picked up the teacup and poured the hot tea into his mouth.
Xue Baiyan was expressionless, just nodded lightly.
"No matter what, the Watanabe family has always attached great importance to the cooperative relationship with the Xue family over the years." Watanabe said calmly. "This point, presumably Miss Xue is also clear."
"It's not the same time it used to be." Xue Baiyan said lightly.
"Friendship knows no borders." Watanabe Gongyi smiled slightly, noncommittal to Xue Baiyan's somewhat ruthless answer, and said slowly. "Regardless of the outcome of this negotiation, I hope to maintain a good friendship with Miss Xue. As the Chinese saying goes, buying and selling is not benevolence. β
Xue Baiyan frowned slightly, and couldn't help but look at the young man who was negotiating with him again.
He was young, definitely no more than twenty-five.
Judging from his posture and the calmness of his conversation, he is more like a diplomat who has dealt with bigwigs from all sides all year round, not at all like the second young master who was snubbed by the Watanabe family in the message.
He was patient enough. Xue Baiyan had already seen a rough idea of this from Fang Cai's two temptations.
He has a great attitude. In other words, he is not a guy who wags his tail and begs for mercy when he encounters someone stronger than himself. Whether it was disguised or true, Xue Baiyan admired it.
Young, forbearing, and with his own attitude. These three points are the basic qualities of being a superior. Compared to him, Watanabe Shin is eight roads behind.
"You're bastard." Xue Baiyan said meaningfully. It's like a rhetorical question, but it's more like a declarative sentence.
Watanabe Gongyi was asked by Xue Baiya's thinking jump, and said with a smile: "Miss Xue is aware of everything. My father is young and romantic, and there will always be mistakes. β
There is resentment.
Xue Bai Ayawan'er, this, I'm afraid it's his reverse scales, right?
Xue Baiyan, who is familiar with psychology, stopped at the point and did not delve into this problem further. Just took a sip of tea and nodded slowly to Shinichi Watanabe's explanation.
may become the object of the enemy, Xue Baiyan has the habit of mastering the other party's character. It doesn't take much, just a synopsis, and she can figure out something from some small details of the other party. At this moment, Xue Baiya has almost mastered the sixty percent temperament of Watanabe Koichi. It's not very precise, but it has a prototype.
Watanabe Koichi is indeed much stronger than his brother, but in the face of a banshee like Xue Baiya, he is still a little immature after all.
He had already disguised himself very well, but how could he escape Xue Baiyan's fiery eyes?
Even, many of his small details are exposed, even he doesn't know. It's just that Xue Baiyan asked him these questions out of pure boredom.
"Miss Xue, although we have a lot of time to chat. But there is always something to talk about, so it's better to finish talking about business first. And then I treat you to an authentic local meal? Watanabe said with a smile.
He didn't mention the outcome of the negotiations, but said that he would go to a big dinner after the talks. This means that no matter what the outcome is, he will invite this meal. Such official wording always wins the favor of the other party. Not to mention Xue Baiyan, even Lin Ze, who was standing on the side, felt a little regret about his situation.
In this world, not all gold can shine in time...
"Okay." Xue Baiyan nodded lightly. There does not seem to be any objection to an early conclusion to the negotiations.
"The bottom line of the Watanabe family is that the contract can be changed so that the Xue family can obtain greater benefits in cooperation. We have always attached great importance to the friendship between the two families. I hope Miss Xue can think about it again. After all, a strong alliance is the situation that all merchants want. We really don't want to go to an ally who is a headache for the Xue family. Miss Xue, did you say? Watanabe said slowly.
This remark was subdued and frustrated, almost pinching Xue Baiyan's only worry.
The Watanabe family will find other merchants to cooperate, and even allies who are opposed to the Xue family. This was the only thing Xue Baiyan worried about in the whole negotiation. She expected Watanabe to mention this, but she didn't expect Watanabe to mention it so quickly. This is something she is somewhat inexplicable.
But no matter what, Xue Baiyan was very resolute. She decided not to cooperate anymore, no matter what conditions the other party offered, no matter what kind of coercion and temptation she made, she would not agree.
"Back in China, I made my intentions clear. The Xue family and the Watanabe family could no longer continue to work together. Xue Baiyan said lightly. There is not much emotion in the words. Respond to Koichi Watanabe with a resolute attitude.
Watanabe showed a hint of regret on his face, but he didn't react too violently. just sighed lightly and asked helplessly, "Miss Xue, is there really no room for recovery?" As you know, the Watanabe family has always been very sincere. β
"I'm sorry." Xue Baiyan said lightly.
Hearing this, Watanabe took a sip of tea and said with a wry smile: "Since that's the case, then let's terminate the contract." β
In other words, the two sides launched a signing ceremony that was not too long, and drew an end to this long-standing relationship.
When the two sides signed and posted, Watanabe changed his tiredness one by one, got up with a smile on his face and said, "Miss Xue, if I have the opportunity to go to Huaxia, can I get your reception?" β
"Yes." Xue Baiyan said calmly.
"It's my honor to make a friend like Miss Xue." Watanabe Koichi bowed deeply and expressed his grandest respect to Xue Baiya.
Xue Baiyan just nodded lightly and returned the salute. He was extremely reserved throughout. It's like you're just dealing with someone who doesn't matter. There is no indication that the families of the two sides have been allies for several years.
"Miss Xue, as I just said, after talking about cooperation, I will treat you to an authentic local meal. Although the results were not satisfactory, the promise worked. I hope you can enjoy it. Watanabe said with a normal expression. After all, you have accepted my sincere friendship. β
Xue Baiyan nodded slightly, her expression didn't show the slightest clue, and said, "Okay." β
Bang Bang Bang!
Just as Watanabe was about to order a meal, a shrill applause suddenly sounded at the door. The three of them looked over when they heard the words, who was it not Watanabe Shin?
I saw him walking towards the three of them with steady steps, and his face was still bandaged, as if Kanda Inoko's slaps were extremely damaging to his handsome face.
"Work one. You seem to have forgotten what your father said. Watanabe said in a cold voice. Father asked you to work hard to maintain the relationship with the Xue family, you are good, just complete the task in a few words so straightforwardly. Is your attitude a little perfunctory? β
As soon as he appeared, Watanabe Koichi's face became strangely wooden. even stammered a little: "Brother, my father can't embarrass Miss Xue." I'm just doing what my father wantsβ"
"Enough!" Watanabe Koichi looked cold and said in a cold voice. "I'm not here to embarrass you. I wanted to have a good chat with Miss Xue. Oh, by the way, since Mr. Lin is here, it's time to talk about the abuse I received! β
With that, he swung his right hand into the table with a fierce blow, and a sharp dagger stabbed into the table without warning, shocking.
