Chapter Seventy-One: Business Pride
Receiving such praise from He Tianling, Shen Linxi was a little flattered. After all, she has no business experience and little legal experience, and what she has now is consistent seriousness and hard work.
And He Tianling, a self-made successful person, can affirm her so sincerely, does this mean that if she works hard, she may one day stand at the same height as He Tianling?
When Shen Linxi was waiting for He Tianling to pick her up in the dormitory to participate in the negotiations, she still had a faint joy in her heart, and she didn't know, what time would Shang Yuchen arrive in Guangzhou this morning?
Today, there is another important thing for her, that is, Shang Yuchen will fly back to Guangzhou from the United States this morning! The day before yesterday, Shen Linxi received a call from Shang Yuchen from the United States, and his first sentence was, "Linxi, you come back to North Guangzhou!" Although Shen Linxi didn't know what was going on, she told Shang Yuchen that she had returned to Guangzhou, and Shang Yuchen was very happy when she heard it.
It turned out that Shang Yuchen's project in the United States was due to the temporary work of his mentor, so in the past week, everyone needed to complete very little work, so Shang Yuchen temporarily decided to return to China for a week and spend the Lantern Festival with his parents. He has already booked a ticket to Beijing on February 14. He insisted that Shen Linxi and his mother pick him up at the airport, because he wanted to see her as soon as possible.
However, it was really unfortunate that the day Shang Yuchen came back happened to be the day when Shen Linxi was going to go to business negotiations with He Tianling. She was a little embarrassed, because she didn't know how long the negotiations would last, so she had to tell Shang Yuchen that on the day he came back, she was going to participate in a business negotiation, so she couldn't go to the airport to pick him up.
However, Shen Linxi did not mention He Tianling's name, because she didn't want Shang Yuchen to think about her relationship with He Tianling again.
Shang Yuchen had no choice but to say depressedly and helplessly, then he would go home and reunite with his parents first. When she is done with her work, contact him immediately, and he will always wait for her.
When He Tianling saw the smiling Shen Linxi, his mood became unreasonably happy. He reached out and took the computer bag from Shen Linxi's hand, put it in the back seat of the car, and opened the right front door for her and let her go up. Shen Linxi sat in the warm car, smelling the faint fragrance of flowers, and her somewhat excited and uneasy mood slowly subsided when she got up in the morning.
However, He Tianling was a little excited. They hadn't seen each other since the last time Shen Linxi took him on a tour of the campus. Shen Linxi also sent him a text message afterwards, "The gift is too valuable, please take it back from Mr. He", but he replied to her very indifferently, "The gift only represents the heart, don't care too much." ”
Shen Linxi didn't text again, which made He Tianling a little apprehensive, he didn't know if Shen Linxi didn't like the gift he gave her, he was worried that it would affect her impression of him. However, because his work began to get busy, he also took too much care of it.
After He Tianling's Guangzhou company put all kinds of staff in place, the company's business was in full swing. All kinds of publicity activities and a variety of promotional methods were in full swing for a while, and the company's business orders were also pouring in.
The big customer he is going to negotiate today has been in contact with him not long after he came to Guangzhou. There have been many contacts and consultations, and today will be a very critical one. Discussions will be held with key officials from both sides, and the two sides will have final negotiations on several key aspects before deciding whether or not to finalize the contract.
He Tianling attaches great importance to this negotiation. This is not only because the other party is a well-known company, but more importantly, he needs to use a successful engineering case to open the channel for the transformation of the Guangzhou company's business to large-scale decoration projects. As a result, his attitude took on an unprecedented solemnity.
It was precisely because of this that when he saw the negotiation plan sent to him by Shen Linxi, he was sincerely happy. He saw Shen Linxi's extremely serious attitude towards doing things, which he rarely saw in young people now, and her attitude was also very similar to his attitude towards doing business.
Moreover, Shen Linxi can keenly find out the key points of the problem under the premise of not having much experience in legal practice, and put forward corresponding countermeasures in a detailed and comprehensive manner, which shows that she is a very rare talent. This deepened He Tianling's appreciation for her.
The negotiation was indeed as difficult as Tianling expected. Judging from the negotiation lineup of the other company, it can be seen that they attach importance to this negotiation. The two sides have conducted a lot of exchanges on the project period, payment method, payment time, delivery project acceptance, etc.
From the beginning of many opinions could not be unanimous, to gradually reconciled, compromise with each other, and then basically reached an agreement on the terms of each item, until the end, only the payment method and payment time have not been negotiated.
The two sides have entered the white-hot stage of negotiations, and at this time, many people feel mentally exhausted and emotionally more or less impatient. However, He Tianling was still calm and calm, he looked at his watch, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
The negotiations started in the morning, except for the lunch takeout, when everyone rested for a while, and the rest of the time, there was basically no rest. Therefore, He Tianling proposed to take a break first, and the two sides immediately agreed.
Shen Linxi looked at him, and the admiration in his heart arose. Although he did not go to university and studied systematically and comprehensively, he was definitely a person who would excel wherever he went.
In today's negotiations, He Tianling demonstrated his remarkable ability. He let the company's general counsel take charge of the negotiations, and he has been calmly and calmly thinking about the conditions and requirements of the other party every time. Whenever he needs to give his opinion, he can always correctly grasp the psychology of the other party, and be modest but can put forward a plan on the premise of ensuring his own sufficient interests.
His calm attitude, unhurried tone, and relaxed rhythm all show his rich business experience and negotiation skills. His thinking is very clear and his reaction ability is extremely fast, which not only makes his subordinates feel admired, but even the looks of the other negotiators reveal a bit of respect.
Shen Linxi got up and went outside the negotiation room to breathe. This is really a battle without gunpowder, and she has never experienced business negotiations, so she is really a little overwhelmed by this.
She carefully recalled the negotiation scene just now, as well as some important details in it, and she sighed in her heart, it seems that working with talented people can make a person grow up quickly. Therefore, Shen Linxi hopes that in the future, she can learn more experience and qualities from He Tianling.
Shen Linxi leaned on the crossbar in the hall and thought a little distracted, when suddenly she heard footsteps coming. She couldn't help but look sideways, and it turned out to be He Tianling walking over. She hurriedly straightened up and nodded to him: "Mr. He!" ”
He Tianling walked over from a distance, looking at the elegant and beautiful Shen Linxi who was leaning on the railing, with a smile of appreciation in his eyes. In the negotiation just now, he saw Shen Linxi's excellent professionalism and coping ability. She is able to move quickly into a negotiation role and communicate effectively with the rest of the team.
Moreover, He Tianling also keenly felt that she was even better than his sales director and legal director in terms of thinking and expression skills. But you must know that these two right-hand men under him are all experienced business elites! But Shen Linxi is a little girl who has no polished work experience and no workplace experience. In time, she's going to grow really well!
Looking at such a beautiful and flawless piece of jade with unlimited potential, the admiration in He Tianling's heart became even stronger. He approached Shen Linxi and asked her gently, "It's tiring to participate in such negotiations, right?" ”
Shen Linxi shook his head with a smile and said seriously: "This kind of negotiation is really too exercised. One of our lawyers at the law firm said that if you want to be better, you need to throw yourself in a crowd of high-ranking people. I know this today. ”
He Tianling also leaned slightly against the railing, turned his head sideways and asked with a smile: "Are you praising me?" ”
Shen Linxi looked at him with a calm and relaxed expression, and said with a straight face: "It should be said that I admire you very much." All the advantages of the business elite that I can imagine, you basically have. ”
He Tianling's eyes showed a smile: "Oh, how do you say it? ”
Shen Linxi said with a thoughtful look: "A calm and sharp mind, a weight-lifting bearing, a battle-hardened business experience, and a leader's decisiveness...... In short, I think that those who follow you and do things must admire you very much, and look up to you. ”
He Tianling stared at her and said, "You give me too high an evaluation. In fact, after experiencing a lot of things, you will naturally know what to do. I also have my own weaknesses, so I need to use other people's strengths to make up for my weaknesses.
To do a career, it is very important to know people well, and give more opportunities for people around them to experience, so that they can take charge of themselves as soon as possible. Minmin, you know what? You've done a great job yourself, and I'm sure you'll do a great job in the future! ”
In the ensuing negotiations, the legal director of He Tianling's side believed that the payment time proposed by the other party might bring a greater risk of collection to his party, so he said that he could not accept it, and He Tianling remained silent.
Seeing that the two sides were about to fall into a stalemate again, the sales director of He Tianling's side hurriedly came out to play a round. He said that the payment terms of the other party will make him very passive, and the progress of the project is likely to be delayed of varying severity as a result.
Previously, Shen Linxi had heard He Tianling say that in this negotiation, the construction period was a weakness of the other party, because he had investigated it clearly, and the other party was eagerly looking forward to the early completion of the project and the building being put into use as soon as possible. Therefore, Shen Linxi estimated that once the progress of the project was taken out as a key factor in the negotiations, the other party might not be able to make some concessions.
Sure enough, the negotiators on the other side began to hesitate, and they wrote and drew on each other's papers, as if discussing another plan. After a while, their expressions were a little more solemn, but they finally came up with a modified plan.
Shen Linxi personally believes that this plan should be more beneficial to He Tianling. However, the legal director still frowned slightly and shook his head almost imperceptibly. He tapped the pen on the paper, as if he was stuck in a difficult thought again.
For a moment, the conference room fell into an uncomfortable silence again. Shen Linxi was so nervous that she seemed to be able to hear her heartbeat, because she was worried that such a stalemate might cause the negotiations to collapse and end in failure.
At this moment, Shen Linxi especially wanted to take a look at He Tianling's expression. She didn't know if he would still be able to maintain his composure and calmness at such a critical juncture when the negotiations were going on.
However, Shen Linxi endured it after all, and did not look sideways at He Tianling, because as the negotiations continued to deepen, she had realized that all this was a negotiation strategy designed by him and the two directors in advance, so she knew that she must not disclose any information about herself to the other party because of her small actions, especially now is a crucial moment in the negotiation.
Neither of them spoke, breaking the silence, only the hands of an electronic clock on the wall of the conference room were "clicking" around, as if testing people's patience. The air was also filled with tension-making air currents, and everyone even felt that their breathing was starting to feel a little difficult.
