Chapter 2557 - 1868: Rapid Progress_2
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying exchanged a glance. Although they were delighted at Bai Xiaosheng’s victory over Milo, they didn’t gloat or rub it in Milo’s face.
Bai Xiaosheng and Milo left the large meeting room and walked a few steps to the lounge. Bai Xiaosheng held the door open kindly for Milo.
After Milo entered, Bai Xiaosheng let go of the door and closed it properly.
The lounge was soundproof. Once inside, Milo stood next to Bai Xiaosheng, looking at him coldly.
"Mr. Bai, I have to admit, this time you won, and you won beautifully! But I’m not convinced!" Milo said.
Bai Xiaosheng chuckled as he looked at Milo, "Mr. Milo, you seem quite aggrieved. I don’t know what I’ve done to offend you. We have no enmity between us; it’s just a business discussion, and it hasn’t even ended. I only signed some collaborations midway through the negotiations. Is that not allowed?"
As Bai Xiaosheng said this, Milo frowned and looked at him.
From Bai Xiaosheng’s tone, it seemed he was sincere about continuing the talks, so Milo decided to listen.
"And besides, what do you define as winning? And what do you see as losing?" Bai Xiaosheng asked with a smile.
Milo opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Bai Xiaosheng provided his own answer.
"Between you and me, cooperation is a win-win; non-cooperation is a lose-lose!"
This was said so well that Milo couldn’t find any fault with it.
Bai Xiaosheng sincerely added, "I truly want to reach a collaboration with the business sector you represent, but your terms are too high. Why don’t we sit down and discuss a more reasonable price? This would benefit both of us, wouldn’t it?"
Looking at Bai Xiaosheng like this, Milo let out a heavy sigh.
Then Milo coldly snorted, "I’m someone who can afford to lose! Losing to you just now means I’ve lost, and there’s nothing to hide about it! I also need to sign with you; otherwise, I’ll become a huge laughingstock when I go back, which I can’t deny! You, after winning, still give people a way out. I admire that!"
Milo had reluctantly swallowed his pride for the moment.
"Then come over and sit, let’s have a cup of tea again." Bai Xiaosheng warmly patted Milo’s arm, as if they were old friends, and then walked over to the sofa where they’d previously sat.
Milo paused for a moment and followed him.
In the large meeting room, Dong Tianlu, Lu Tiandao, and the others were not idle, each passing around relevant contracts.
Those contracts weren’t tailored for anyone in particular; if one met the cooperation criteria, they could take a look.
This was coordinated by Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying.
It must be said that the conditions set by the Yang Family were extremely favorable, and everyone couldn’t help but admire them.
However, subsequently, problems arose as well.
Some contracts were wanted by two or three parties, instantly leading to a "scramble" situation.
"Mrs. Lu, don’t you think this contract suits my side better? Please do me a favor."
"Mrs. Wang, you’re mistaken with that comment. A contract, being a business necessity, is not something one can simply let go of; I want it too."
"Dear bosses, since you both fancy those contracts, can these ones come over to my side instead?"
"Wishful thinking, even if they’re agreeable to it, I am not!"
The arguments, whether genuine or not, turned into a full-on dispute, each refusing to back down.
In this situation, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying stepped up to address everyone.
"Please, everyone, calm down." Lei Ying’s voice boomed, immediately capturing the attention of everyone present.
Then, Lin Weiwei calmly spoke, "Everyone, regarding the distribution of contracts, Mr. Bai has already given instructions, so please, let’s not argue for now."
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances and then looked at Lin Weiwei.
"Miss Lin, how did Mr. Bai arrange it?" someone couldn’t help but ask.
Lin Weiwei smiled sweetly and informed everyone, "For these contracts, interested companies can collaborate and work together. Remember, we are all in this together, potentially forming a business alliance in the future. Our cooperation has only just begun."
This statement hit the mark perfectly!
Everyone couldn’t help but nod in agreement.
"Moreover, these contracts from the Yang Family are small deals. Mr. Bai is currently discussing cooperation with Mr. Milo in the Karan business sector, which is expected to bring another significant batch of business. On top of that, we plan to venture into places like Oshan and other countries. Whether it’s business or orders, the opportunities will only continue to grow."
This statement from Lin Weiwei was instructed by Bai Xiaosheng, intended for everyone to hear.
None of the big merchants present were of a superficial mindset, and upon hearing this, they promptly nodded, agreeing with the statements.
"So next, everyone, please negotiate on how to better collaborate in completing these contracts and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results."
Lin Weiwei respectfully nodded to everyone and stepped aside with Lei Ying.
This kind of courtesy from the pair also gave enough face to everyone present.
Everyone nodded in succession and accordingly returned to distributing interests along the proposed lines.
While there was a heated discussion here, over there, Bai Xiaosheng was negotiating quite smoothly with Milo.
Indeed, Milo hardly had any cards to play; he could only follow Bai Xiaosheng’s lead.
Of course, Bai Xiaosheng didn’t push things too far and settled on terms that Milo could report back on, but that was it.
After all, Bai Xiaosheng had to consider the interests of his own business group.
Once the cooperation’s main framework was settled, both Bai Xiaosheng and Milo breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s always good to have the matter settled.
"Honestly, even though I lost to you this time, I’m not happy, but I’m impressed." Milo said as he drank tea with Bai Xiaosheng. "I admire that you even have the time to keep up with the current affairs, while I choose not to even look at political affairs. If there’s leisure time, I’d rather look at economic and stock market topics."
