Chapter 460: Approaching
Ling Jiacheng has not been as smooth as he imagined recently, although he successfully got Wen Shizhong into the hospital, Reddy still did not let go.
After Wen Shizhong was hospitalized, Ling Jiacheng finally got his wish and had several substantive contacts with Jason, but the effect was not satisfactory.
Ling's situation, as long as you investigate a little, you can know that Ling's current situation is not good, if you choose an investment object, Reddy's is indeed more biased towards Mu's or Wen's.
But now the person in charge of the Wen family is lying in the hospital in an uncertain situation, and Mu Xuncheng, the head of the Mu family, has made it clear that he has expressed his attitude of cooperation, which also makes Jason very troubled.
Actually, the Ling family is not impossible, but he always feels that the Ling family is not his first choice.
Exploring the Chinese market and competing for territory with new energy is a plan that Jason had made before he came to China, but the implementation of this plan did not go as smoothly as he imagined.
Ate soft nails from Mu's and Wen's successively.
He had to reconsider the Ling family.
However, Ling's is really not the best choice now, Reddy's has just come to China, he doesn't know much about China's affairs, and he doesn't adapt to it, they need a more stable company, and Ling's current situation is obviously not the same as Reddy's expectations.
But compared to other smaller companies, the Ling clan is better than them.
So before getting the final answer from Mu and Wen, Jason didn't have any special contact with Ling.
Neither close nor completely hopeless.
It's just that he didn't give Ling any too eager hope.
has been exposed to the Ling family for so long, and now, as soon as the Wen family's matter comes out, Jason has to think about his own back road.
In any case, you can't leave the Ling clan up for too long, and in case there is no progress here, you have to think about the Ling clan urgently.
So, this time, when the Ling family agreed to Jason, Jason finally did not refuse.
Jason and Ling Jiacheng met in a fancy morning restaurant.
The environment of the restaurant is elegant, there are not many customers, and even the waiters who come and go are polite and well-trained.
This is where Ling Jiacheng has chosen a thousand times, and he has to make a good impression on Jason in the first official meeting.
The two of them sat in the elegant dining room and did not mention the previous unpleasantness.
Regarding Ling Xue's several visits, Ling Jiacheng didn't say a word.
However, Jason said to Ling Jiacheng very naturally: "I just came to China, and there are really too many things to deal with. A few days ago, I heard my secretary say that Miss Ling of your company once came to visit, but unfortunately, I am not in the company, which is a pity. ”
Ling Jiacheng sneered in his heart, what is not in the company, it is obvious that he is hiding and disappearing.
But on the surface, he still has to pretend to be regretful.
"Really? That's a real misfortune, my sister has indeed visited you several times, and the last time she glanced at the banquet, my sister was impressed with you, Mr. Jason. ”
"Oh? Are you sure? ”
"Yes, girls, it's inevitable that they all have a bit of a hero complex, like Mr. Jason, tall and mighty, and in charge of a huge company, for a shopping mall woman like my sister, she can be regarded as an idol."
Ling Jiacheng said exaggeratedly.
In fact, Ling Xue was not interested in meeting Jason at all, but Ling Jiacheng urged her three times and twice, and she had no choice but to visit.
And every time she visited, she was closed, and Ling Xue simply hated this Jason to death.
If Ling Xue knew that Ling Jiacheng was talking to Jason like this, Ling Xue would definitely be angry.
"I'm so sorry, next time I have the chance, I must invite Miss Ling to dinner and make amends to her."
Jason also knew that Ling Jiacheng's words had no credibility, but since the other party said so, he didn't have a reaction at all.
Both of them knew that the other person's words were false, but they still had to pretend to be listening very carefully.
After being polite for a long time, Ling Jiacheng turned the topic to the main topic.
"Mr. Jason, in fact, I went to the United States a long time ago and visited Mr. Tom of your company." Ling Jiacheng looked at Jason and said.
Jason said with a surprised expression, "Really? Are you sure? Oh my God, Tom didn't even talk about it before I came to China. ”
Ling Jiacheng looked at Jason's expression, and he wanted to tear off his hypocritical mask.
He believed that he had done so much work, and Tom would never say nothing.
But now, it's Jason in China, and Tom is not in charge of the project, so he can't get Tom out and confront him.
He had no choice but to accompany Jason to act.
"Really? Didn't Mr. Tom even mention it to you? ”
"Yes, when I came to China, I was a little too anxious, and I think old Tom must have forgotten to explain it to me."
Jason didn't blush at all when he told a lie.
Before he came to China, Tom had already received everything with him, but he wanted to keep pretending to be confused.
Since Jason didn't want to admit it, Ling Jiacheng couldn't help it, after all, he was the one who was passive now, so he decided to ignore Jason's words and continued.
"It's okay, if Mr. Tom doesn't tell you, I don't mind having another contact with Reddy."
"Oh? Is it? Jason raised his eyebrows and looked at Ling Jiacheng, waiting for his next move.
Ling Jiacheng knew that all the efforts he had made before had been in vain, and this Jason was now coming to death and not admitting it.
He also had no choice.
He could only bite the bullet and say to Jason: "Actually, our Ling family has already offered an olive branch to Reddy's, and we have been in contact with Mr. Tom as early as when Reddy's definitely invested in China. At that time, we got along quite well, but then I returned to China early because of some company matters, and then you came to China. ”
"Oh, I see, this is very important information, we always thought that the Ling clan did not have this intention, this old Tom."
Jason puts all the blame on Tom.
If Tom had been there at this time, he would have felt very wronged.
Jason pretended to look at Ling Jiacheng with interest and asked, "Mr. Ling, if my news is not wrong, the Ling family has never accepted foreign investment, has it?" ”
"Yes, that was before." Ling Jiacheng hurriedly said.
"Today's international situation is different, presumably Mr. Jason also knows that the Ling family, the Mu family and the Wen family are the three major families in the city, and now the Mu family is cooperating with new energy, and Mr. Jason must know better than me that you are old rivals."
Jason nodded.
"Wen's has also been developing foreign business in recent years, only our Ling's has not yet started, so in its current form, we should indeed consider the development of foreign countries."
Ling Jiacheng said seriously.
He didn't feel a little lacking in confidence or anything else.
"However, as far as I know, Ling's recent operation has not been particularly good, and Ling's will not just want to use our Reddy's to get through the difficulties."
Jason asked sharply, not at all impressed by Ling Jiacheng's grandiose reasons.
Ling Jiacheng had expected that Jason would not be so easy to deal with, but he didn't expect Jason to be so direct.
He smiled bitterly and said: "Presumably, Mr. Jason has done a lot of investigations, I admit that the Ling family does have a little situation at present, but I don't think this is a fatal one, presumably Mr. Jason has been in China for so long, and he has also contacted many companies, why hasn't he made a decision for a long time?" I think there must be a reason. ”
Jason looked at Ling Jiacheng with interest and said with a smile: "I really want to see what Mr. Ling has to say." ”
Ling Jiacheng continued: "Actually, investment and cooperation is nothing more than to get a win-win purpose, Reddy's wants to open the Chinese market, this is your purpose, since there is a purpose, as long as someone helps you achieve this goal, is it okay soon?" Why should you care what the other person wants? ”
"Working with Reddy's, you either want to open up your popularity, or you want Reddy's investment, and since Reddy's has decided, then just look at the results."
Ling Jiacheng shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Mr. Ling's point of view is very fresh." Jason listened to Ling Jiacheng's words, and was silent on the surface, but he was secretly saying in his heart: "This Ling Jiacheng is really clever." ”
"So, if Reddy's really wants to develop in China, I don't think our Ling is worse than the other two companies, on the contrary, I don't think the other two companies may have such a high enthusiasm as our Ling family, right?"
Jason didn't affirm or deny.
He was silent for a while, looked at Ling Jiacheng and said: "Mr. Ling, I will definitely consider your words, since the Ling family has been in contact with Reddy before, then we will definitely give priority to our Ling family, but I have to go back to confirm with Tom about this matter, this old Tom is really unreliable." ”
Ling Jiacheng knew that this was just Jason's excuse, but he didn't delve into it further, after all, this was the first time he had seriously talked about this matter with Jason, since the other party had made this start, then there would be a chance to meet in the future, and he couldn't be in a hurry.
This was the end of their first meeting.
However, what really made Ling Jiacheng anxious was that in the next few meetings, Jason was always tepid and never gave Ling Jiacheng a clear message, which made Ling Jiacheng very anxious.
The Wen family's side has been investigating the incident of Wen Shizhong's accident, although there will be no results in a short period of time, but if he can't get rid of Reddy's side, then all the efforts he has made before have been in vain?
