"It's a kind of performance."

After the negotiation, Chen Yuan smiled at me and said, "Every time my face sinks, but you smile, the other party thinks that we must have some other plan that they don't know." In the mall as on the battlefield, the most terrible thing is that you can't know the purpose of your opponent's next move, so often we make some unfathomable gestures, which will confuse the opponent, so that after they weigh it, they will make some concessions - because they don't know our plan, they would rather make some concessions to avoid potential risks! ”

I nodded, convinced.

"Of course, today this is just a simple negotiation, and if something big happens, this little trick is useless at all. I don't want you to learn this little trick, do you know what I want you to learn? ”

I smiled faintly: "You want me to understand that in the mall, there are many times when acting is needed - a good liar must be a good actor himself." ”

Chen Yuan showed an appreciative look in his eyes, and reached out and patted me on the shoulder: "Very good, you learn very quickly - but in the next few days, you still need to learn a lot of things, and it is not enough to have theories, you must also be taught a lot of practical things." ”

"And a lot more?"

"Of course!" Chen Yuan smiled: "Do you think it's so easy to be a big man?" Put on an expensive coat and you're a big guy? Amusing! ”

I blushed and didn't speak again.

This old fox!

`

"You and I go to a dinner party in the evening."

I nodded and answered.

I'm used to it, in the past two days, Chen Yuan has taken me with him whenever there is a negotiation, and my public identity is: senior investment assistant of Yuanda Group - this is already the title of a core member of the company.

I've seen a lot of big people who usually only see in the financial news, and those big people with a net worth of tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars are sitting in front of me, talking and laughing about millions of business, and I always have a feeling of extreme unreality.

Chen Yuan threw hundreds of thousands of dollars on me again, packaging me into a hardcover version of the new Chen Yang from the inside out.

These bigwigs are really very particular about their clothes, and they don't look like nouveau riche dressed in jewels like in many movies and novels, and it looks like their clothes are very plain, but the price is scary to death - each one is a famous brand, and the value is at least four zeros.

That dinner party in the evening was not so simple.

The dinner was held in a rented room of a large hotel, and I was surrounded by well-dressed men and women, each of whom looked so personable, and each of those women, who looked so beautiful and noble. I've never seen so many beautiful women in my daily life.

Chen Yuan whispered to me on the side: "You see, these are the so-called upper class, which is still relatively backward in China, if in Europe and the United States, the hierarchy of this upper class is even stricter, and the people in this place are not measured by money, but by status." If a person is rich, if he can't reach his status, he should never want to blend into this circle, and if you want to blend in this circle, then first you have to make yourself the same as them, the same personable - the same hypocrisy. ”

I listened quietly to what the old fox had taught me.

"Also, don't underestimate this kind of banquet, a lot of amazing big business is negotiated in laughter. Eating is the best place to talk about business, and when to eat and where to eat, the inside is even more exquisite.

At the dinner table, you can pretend to have something in your mouth to delay questions you don't want to answer, and you can also find new topics to divert from the original one: talk about the taste of a certain dish, or a certain banquet, etc. And when you procrastinate, you have plenty of time to calculate and adjust your mind. ”

I sighed secretly, and my heart was complicated.

Chen Yuan smiled on his face, but there was something strange in his eyes when he looked at me:

"Chen Yuan, in a very short period of time, you can't completely become a qualified leader and a big man. So what I can teach you is acting, and I'm going to teach you how to 'perform' a big guy. ”

I nodded, and couldn't help but whisper, "It seems a little complicated." ”

Chen Yuan looked at me and shook his head: "Morning, your training is far from over. ”

I followed Chen Yuan's side, walking back and forth among such a big man with a complex background, smiling and nodding at everyone I knew or didn't know, and then raised my glass frequently.

Chen Yuan suddenly didn't know where to take out a piece of paper, which was full of dense and tiny words. He handed me the piece of paper, and then said in my ear: "There will be a thank you speech later, I was supposed to go, and now I want you to replace me, in fact, it is very simple, everything you want to say is on this piece of paper, you remember the main content, and then you can say it in your own words." I was stunned, and I hurriedly swept it with my eyes.

At this time, someone said something on the front stage, and then everyone smiled and applauded lightly.

Chen Yuan immediately didn't move, and his expression pushed me forward.

"Damn it! I haven't had time to see it yet. I cursed in my heart, clenched the paper in my hand into a ball, and clenched it tightly into my fist.

I put a shallow smile on my face and walked to the front.

Everyone looked at me together, and I stood up straight in front of so many eyes, trying to keep a natural smile on my face - who knows if my smile was still natural.

"Ladies and gentlemen," I didn't know where the courage came from, and I learned the tone of Chen Yuan's usual speech, and said slowly in that deep tone, "First of all, on behalf of all of you, I would like to express my gratitude to the organizer of tonight's dinner for giving us such a beautiful night. ”

-- Smile, courtesy of applause

The muscles on my face gradually relaxed, and the things I had just seen on the paper came back to my head one by one. I had a smile on my face, and then I slowly said something I didn't believe in in my own sincere thanks.

Finally, I raised my voice a little and said, "Finally, I suggest that everyone raise their glasses, for the sake of ......" Speaking of this, I paused slightly, damn, I don't know who is holding this dinner tonight, what is the purpose, why??

I'm in a hurry, what the scholar looked like in those movies he watched a long time ago"...... For the sake of health, cheers. ”

I raised the cup in my hand and brought it to my lips with a slight sip.

Everyone smiled and toasted, and some people whispered in my words: "Cheers to health." ”

I slowly walked down from the front, and by this time everyone had gone on to talk about their own things, and no one looked at me.

"Huh--" I walked to Chen Yuan's side. The old guy looked at me with a bit of banter in his eyes.

"It's not bad, it's been quite successful overall." Chen Yuan smiled: "Except for that reason to toast." ”
