Ye Junqing put away his phone, smiling as he sipped his tea, âMiss Yenâan, itâs not possible. You only provide raw materials and recipes, while I handle production, sales, promotion, a complete package. A split of sixty-forty is the bottom line I can offer.â
Ye Junqing had already seen the proposals from other groups: the highest bid was a fifty-fifty split.
Yenâan had no business acumen which is why she hated negotiating prices. Upon hearing his words, just like dealing with others in business meetings, she stood up to see him off: âIn that case, thereâs nothing left for us to discuss. Mr. Ye, please make yourself at home. I wonât see you out.â
After all, she had a unique technique. Solely owned worldwide. Willing to cooperate or not, she had the upper hand.
Ye Junqing frowned.
He heard, other company presidents were dismissed in the same manner. There was no room for negotiation.
It was Ye Junqingâs first encounter with such high-handed negotiation. Conversations with group leaders immediately ended with an abrupt dismissal if disagreements arose.
âMiss Yenâan, I came with sincerity, hoping you might give it some serious consideration. Thereâs scarcely a more sincere offer than a sixty-forty split.â He said, leaving shortly.
Just having been thrown out before Ye Junqing, Lin Hanfeng stood outside, smoking against the hallway wall, watching the commotion with amusement, âYe, been shown the door too?â
Ye Junqingâs face was grave as he replied tersely, âMutual, reciprocal.â
Lin Hanfeng offered him a cigarette. Ye Junqing declined. He never smoked.
Lin Hanfeng exhaled a ring of smoke, saying, âA seventy-thirty split, no room for negotiation. Have never seen such a difficult woman. What if we employ a strategy of charm, both of us working together to win her over? If one handsome man isnât temptation enough, would two combined be irresistible to her?â
Ye Junqing raised an eyebrow. A seventy-thirty split?
What he heard was a ninety-ten split.
Could this guy have been willing to sell his soul for a project?
Ye Junqing scorned silently, and walked off.
Lin Hanfeng followed, jokingly linking arms with him, âLong time no see. Where are we off to have a good time? Is Ms. Fortune with you?â
âGoing to buy turnips.â Ye Junqing knocked off Lin Hanfengâs hand.
âWhat?â Had the failed negotiation and dismissal upset him, making him want to buy turnips?
Lin Hanfeng was in disbelief!
Lin Hanfeng was pretty determined to obtain the Peopleâs Fish Brand nearsightedness eyepatch. Now that Ye Shi was a formidable opponent, he had to keep a close eye on this guy. He didnât want Ye Junqing to seduce Miss Yenâan in the middle of the night, leaving him oblivious.
Lin Hanfeng thought Ye Junqing was joking about buying turnips, only to see him actually direct the driver to a bustling marketplace in R City and get off the car.
I saw a ghost!
Lin Hanfeng followed Ye Junqing out of the car. Two elegant-looking men, obviously in the wrong place, were together stepping into the marketplace.
With a photo pulled up on WeChat, Ye Junqing searched long and hard in the market and finally found the candied turnips that Xiao Yuyi had been dreaming about.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âBoss, four bottles of pickled turnips, please.â
âOkay, just a moment. You sound like youâre from out of town. Itâs impressive that you know about our pickled turnips. Iâll give you a ten percent discount.â While packing four bottles of turnips into a bag, the shopkeeper asked, âYoung man, thatâs thirty in total. Here you go!â
One hand handing over the money, the other receiving the plastic bag, Ye Junqingâs haughty expression softened somewhat, âBuying it for my wife, she has a taste for this stuff.â
