Chapter Ninety-Five: Negotiation
Xuan's aggressive intention to cooperate made the meal that was supposed to be a very pleasant meal completely changed all of a sudden.
However, I also unexpectedly gained a key piece of information, that is, Lan Gu and Xuan Maung within the group are separated from each other, and they have begun to compete in secret.
This should be a good thing for me, because all opportunities often arise in chaos.
The group's infighting, no matter who wins or loses in the end, is irrelevant to an outsider like me at the moment, but the key is that I can fish in troubled waters in the process of their struggle, and even in the aftermath of the incident, and find my own survival space in it.
Seeing that I had been silent, Xuan probably came to the conclusion that I was resistant to cooperating with him, and her expression immediately became complicated.
She should know very well that the reason why she dared to talk to me so much was to bet that there had been an irreconcilable rift in the relationship between me and Lan Gu.
However, my attitude made her completely unsure of my true thoughts.
I knew in my heart that without her to break it, the relationship between myself and Lan Gu would have been over a long time ago.
It's just that I don't hate her, I don't resent her, and I won't set up a situation to harm her.
On the contrary, I sympathize with her, sympathize with her suffering, sympathize with her current state of existence, and I also know that she is definitely not happy at the moment.
Will I betray her for the sake of profit?
The answer, of course, is no.
Everyone has a bottom line of being a human being.
I used to have nothing, but now I am a little rich, full of hope and gratitude for life, even when I was penniless, I never wanted to grab more wealth by hurting the interests of others.
At the same time, I am very emotional, and I really want to help Lan Gu do something.
But what can I do in this special situation, at a special time, on a special occasion?
I can't protect myself at the moment, let alone share her worries.
"People are valuable in self-knowledge", I have long understood that my Taoism is still shallow, and she has her own plans for Langu's affairs, and I will not make trouble, which is the greatest help to her.
"You've drunk too much!" , I raised my head and said to her lightly.
"Let's go back to the hotel, we still have the group's business to do tomorrow!"
Xuan's expression softened suddenly.
Her face was still flushed.
I didn't say anything anymore, I stood up, I don't know if I was pretending to be intentional, or if I was really too drunk.
She staggered, put one hand on my shoulder, the other hand on her head, a good wine for the first time people are easy to get drunk, "I don't know where it is", her body snuggled up to me, walked out of the hotel door, beckoned to call a car back to the accommodation.
"I drank too much, which made the big country manager laugh."
When I arrived at the hotel, Xuan returned to normal and said to me with some embarrassment.
"I've been in a bad mood lately, and I can't drink too much, and when I drink too much, it's easy to get carried away, and I don't have moderation in talking and doing things, I'm really sorry!"
She repeatedly explained her gaffe during the meal just now, and her intention was obvious.
I laughed it off, patted her on the shoulder, motioned for her not to think too much about it, to get some rest, and then said goodbye very gentlemanly and went back to her room.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, someone from the group came to inform me early in the morning that the time for negotiations with the brothers and sisters was set at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
When I had breakfast, I didn't see Xuan.
I was alone in the hotel's business center, preparing the documents for the negotiation.
It wasn't until almost noon that she showed up in the hotel's business center.
Xuan's mental state is very poor, it is estimated that she didn't rest well at night, and when she saw me, her expression was still a little unnatural.
"I drank a lot of wine last night, I haven't drunk alcohol for so many years, I drank too much completely, and my head still hurts!"
As she spoke, she shook her head vigorously, as if trying to make herself more conscious.
"By the way, I didn't say anything to you yesterday, did I? I have a problem with people, I like to talk gibberish when I get drunk, but I don't remember anything the next day! If I'm drunk, you'll treat me as if I didn't say anything. ”
She was smiling and groaning, and her expression was extremely unnatural.
Pretending to be trying to remember, trying to make herself look like she was walking the talk, I knew she was trying to minimize the impact of what she shouldn't have said.
"I drank too much, you see, I'm still confused, I don't remember how I came back with you yesterday, and I don't remember what you said."
I followed the meaning of her words, rounded the field for her, and helped her feel relieved.
After listening to my words, she looked at me in surprise.
We tacitly smiled at each other.
Sometimes, it's funny to pretend to be stupid and stunned, and it can resolve some embarrassing situations.
......
"How are you going to negotiate this afternoon? What do I need to do? ”
Last night's contradictory episode can be easily resolved.
She sat across from me, her expression relaxed.
"It's impossible to talk about being fully prepared, but the group leaders have already made a decision, let's run errands, don't mess things up."
After hearing my words, Xuan giggled.
It seems that we are not stupid enough to recognize ourselves.
Whether it is business competition or professional life, always put yourself in the most suitable position, which is also the key to getting twice the result with half the effort.
......
The afternoon was much smaller than we thought.
Only a handful of people from both sides attended.
On our side, in addition to Xuan and me, there is also a secretary of record.
As for the two brothers, only Xiaowei and Wu Yue, the director of the public relations department, were not even assigned a secretary.
I haven't seen him for a few years, and the little great man has made a lot of fortunes, with a big belly, pampered, and full of bosses.
In the first half of the meeting, both sides introduced their own enterprises and their willingness to cooperate in this negotiation.
The meeting materials are long and long, and most of them are things that have little to do with this negotiation.
It can be seen that Xiaowei is stalling for time and looking for a way to survive for his business.
After the appearance, he politely exchanged a few words with us, and he sat on the chair with his eyes half-closed, listening to our conditions with his ears pricked up.
For a long time at the start of the second half, he was completely gone.
When the meeting was about five o'clock, Xiaowei shook back from outside.
I noticed that he looked flustered.
Still, he sat on a sofa in a corner and didn't say a word.
I secretly observed his performance, and I couldn't help but laugh at it.
This negotiation is very interesting.
There is no verbal war, it is purely a contest of secret forces.
Xiaowei went out in the middle of the meeting, and I guessed that he was looking for reinforcements, feeling the situation, and exploring the bottom line.
The look of decadence on his face when he came back made me basically guess that his current situation should be pessimistic.
Otherwise, with his temper, this innocuous negotiation would have ended long ago.
I can't help but think of how high-spirited this guy was when he bought the Dazhifu mining farm.
At that time, due to the support of the forces behind him, Xiaowei's attitude towards me and Dazhi was extremely arrogant.
A small mining farm is worthless in his eyes, and the momentum of the negotiation is like the boss behind the scenes if he gives a few more money and let him buy an earth.
Now, he should also know that the fate of his enterprise has reached the limit, and within his ability and sphere of influence, everything he does is in vain.
I don't know how similar his powerlessness is to the situation when our Dazhifu was forced to transfer?
This is really "ten years in the east of the river, ten years in the west of the river." ”
I watched him sit crookedly to the side, listening carefully to our secretary reading out the letter of intent for cooperation drafted by the group, without saying a word, just constantly wiping his sweat.
Whether it is Wu Yue or Xiaowei, every time I hear Xuan sitting next to me say a word, they all keep looking her up and down, and the expression on their faces is cloudy and dramatic.
Xuan's identity is too special.
She came here to represent the past Guangtou, the current Jinglan Group, the enterprise, and the individual, who is both a negotiator and a judge.
I don't know if she will make the hearts of the two people opposite feel the pressure of condemnation from the depths of conscience when she sits here.
This is also the cleverness of Beijing's old Beijing officials.
"Psychological warfare"!
Properly used!
The meeting lasted another hour, and both sides basically explained all the documents very clearly.
Xiaowei finally stammered.
Everyone fell silent and listened to his final expression.
"I ...... On behalf of ...... On behalf of the brothers, he said: "I ...... I totally ...... Fully agreed with the acquisition plan, but ...... But ......"
He paused and glanced at me.
His face was pale and his expression was lonely.
"I ...... There is one condition, that is, we are not prepared to ...... Ready to ask for your land, I will ...... Cash exchange! ”
It sounds like there's nothing wrong with that.
But we know very well that in all business activities, cash is king.
Xiaowei's move should be very clever, "Don't you have arms thicker than my thighs?" Are you going to buy me? Okay, I agree, but I don't want it, you can take the money. ”
No company can come up with hundreds of millions of cash.
This business, it seems that Xiaowei still wants to stir up Huang.
He's still doing the final battle of the trapped beasts.
Xuan glanced at me and exchanged glances with me.
"Manager Xiaowei, we will truthfully feedback your opinions to the group."
As the chief negotiator, I made a very official statement.
"The conditions you put forward, provided that the price given by our group is met, the specific payment method, about your opinions, I will let the group secretary do a good job of collecting, I will also give feedback to the board of directors of the group in a timely manner, I believe that I will soon be able to give you a satisfactory answer."
My meaning is also obvious, whether it is to give you cash exchange or give you two pieces of rotten land, I have to protect the results of today's negotiations, that is: "Your brother and sister have accepted the price we offered!" The fact that the building was sold to us is a certainty! ”
In this way, today's meeting was not held in vain, and it can be regarded as a phased achievement.
With that, I stood up and smiled coldly at him.
The corners of Xiaowei's mouth twitched a few times, and he glared at me without saying a word.
The message I want to convey is obvious, "We've got you covered!" ”。
This kind of information is similar to when he forced me to transfer my ambitions.
The first negotiations, that's it.
Obviously, the direction of the game below, who will kill the deer, depends on which party's means are higher.
