320: Chapter 320 Negotiations (Part 1) 320: Chapter 320 Negotiations (Part 1) The next afternoon, in the Wu Family mansion in Hong Kong, the reception hall was filled with people, all high-ranking executives from the Wu Group.
The negotiation meeting between the two companies was about to start.
Su Qingyu and her group had already been brought over early by Wu Yu, perhaps because of the last incident.
It was only when Su Qingyu stepped into the Wu Family’s mansion that Wu Yu finally let out a sigh of relief, as every escort seemed to be cursed with accidents.
“Qingyu, you look very nervous.” An Lan patted her shoulder and said with a smile.
At this moment, Su Qingyu’s face was slightly tense, seemingly preoccupied.
Dressed in a black business suit, she perfectly embodied the image of a powerful businesswoman.
However, now, the holder of a Master’s degree in Economics from Yanjing University was facing a significant negotiation.
“It’s nothing, just thinking about the upcoming negotiations.” Su Qingyu seemed like a high school student who had stayed up all night studying, and now, she was right outside the examination hall, her mood was self-evident.
“Don’t worry, we are well-prepared this time.
We will definitely succeed,” An Lan said confidently, cheering Su Qingyu up.
“Miss Su, my master has requested your presence,” a middle-aged man approached, looking like a butler.
“Alright.” Su Qingyu took a deep breath, straightened her collar, and led the Tianya Group into the conference room.
To the left were the executives of the Wu Group, and in the center sat an elderly man with half-white hair, eyes gently closed, exuding a faint dignity.
This man was the Wu Family Head, the Sect Leader of the Wu Group, Wu Liang.
The members of Tianya Group took their seats on the right, with Su Qing herself walking to the front.
Wu, it’s a great honor to meet you,” Su Qingyu said politely, extending her right hand, wishing to shake hands with Wu Liang.
“Miss Su is here, take a seat,” Wu Liang did not open his eyes, his voice seemed to carry a hint of drowsiness, which made the members of Tianya Group slightly displeased at his lack of hospitality.
Wu,” Su Qingyu did not get angry but smiled politely before sitting down.
Wu, this negotiation is to finalize the cooperation between our two companies.
This is the draft proposal that we have prepared.
Please take a look,” Su Qingyu took a folder from An Lan and placed it in front of Wu Liang.
“Discussing, I hate these kinds of meetings the most.
The atmosphere is suffocating, and there’s a bunch of people here just pretending to be polite and playing mind games,” Wu Liang opened his eyes, somewhat displeased, he picked up the folder without looking and tossed it aside to the lawyer.
“I think there’s no need for this meeting at all.
Miss Su, I’m offering you a 30% share.
If you don’t accept, I’ll just seek a partnership with someone else,” Wu Liang said firmly without giving Su Qingyu a chance to speak, his tone was decisive, seemingly brooking no resistance.
Wu, please calm down.
We’re discussing here for the future joint development of our two companies.
We can discuss this calmly…”
“Stop with that nonsense, my terms are very clear—30% of the shares, and that’s only because I see potential in your youth.
Don’t be ungrateful,” Wu Liang’s remarks were more of a threat than a notice, laced with a thick tone of disdain.
The people from Tianya Group all had solemn expressions, Ailina clenched her fists tightly, she really wanted to punch Wu Liang in the face.
An Lan also looked displeased.
Su Qingyu, however, suppressed her emotions.
Wu Liang was a notorious old fox in the Hong Kong business world.
If he were this aggressive towards everyone, he would have alienated people long ago.
His unusual attitude today was merely a strategy against Su Qingyu.
Wu, my bottom line is also very clear; Tianya’s stake in the new company cannot be less than 40%,” surprisingly, Su Qingyu faced the domineering force of this Overlord without faltering, her tone neither servile nor overbearing, appearing very confident.
This caused a stir among the Wu Group’s arrogant executives, who began whispering among themselves.
“Oh, Miss Su, do you really think you can convince me?
The Ji Family has their eyes on you, aren’t you afraid I might collaborate with them instead?” Wu Liang showed a surprised expression, but Su Qingyu keenly noticed a trace of satisfaction on his face.
Indeed, she guessed right; usually, people would falter under Wu Liang’s imposing presence and abandon their negotiation stance, but Su Qingyu, ridiculed by Wu Liang, responded not with anger but with resolve, not stepping back but instead gearing up, showing no fear but rather bolstering her confidence.
Wu said, both I and Tianya Group are young.
In front of all the seniors here, naturally, I wouldn’t dare to overestimate our capabilities.
Wu, you are older than even the oldest employee in our company,” Su Qingyu teased, and as she finished, everyone couldn’t help but smile, even the always serious Wu Liang laughed.
“Being young also means we possess advantages that the Ji Family does not, such as the technology we offer in this partnership, I’m confident that it’s of the top standard,” Su Qingyu continued, then pressed a button on a remote control, and a slideshow appeared.
“This was jointly projected by Tianya Group and an American venture capital firm.
Wu, you can see, there are two hypothetical companies here; the first one is a new company co-founded by Wu Group and Tianya, the second one by Wu Group and Ji Family.
Even if Ji Family and Tianya each held only 40% of the shares, after five years, the profits of the first company would surpass the second, and the gap would only widen thereafter,” Su Qingyu spoke calmly.
“Moreover, as far as I know, Mr.
Wu, you are also not confident you could secure a 60% share from the Ji Family,” Su Qingyu tactically presented data, while her impressive speaking skills gradually drew the attention of everyone present.
“Clap.” Suddenly, there was a round of applause, surprisingly coming from Wu Liang, his face wearing a slight smile.
“In ancient times, there was Zhuge Liang, who with his impeccable eloquence, debated the scholars of Eastern Wu and used reverse psychology to spur Sun Quan and Zhou Yu to join forces against Cao Cao.
Now, it seems, Miss Su indeed surpasses him, truly worthy of being called the female Zhuge of the business world,” Wu Liang applauded as he spoke.
Wu, you flatter me, I was merely stating the facts,” Su Qingyu slightly smiled and then slowly sat back down, while An Lan gave her a thumbs up under the table.
“Miss Su, you’ve said quite a lot just now, truly fascinating.
Even this old man got a bit excited,” as Wu Liang spoke, the excited expressions on the faces of Tianya Group momentarily vanished.
