Manager Qiu glanced at Secretary Liu, who in turn looked helplessly at the most experienced Manager Song.

Manager Song also felt his vision go black.

No one told him before he came that this business deal would be so difficult to negotiate.

Lin Yifeng didn't give the three a chance to think and continued to put pressure on them.

"I hope your company will seriously consider my acquisition plan from the perspective of long-term development."

Upon hearing this, all three gasped simultaneously.

After a brief silence, Manager Song braced himself and asked the question.

"I'd like to ask, Mr. Lin, how long do you plan to acquire the production line?"

Lin Yifeng feigned hesitation and offered an explanation from the side.

"Permanent is difficult to achieve, and even if you were willing to sell, we wouldn't feel comfortable with it."

"How about this, I'll give you the minimum term."

The three members of Tianfu Cola immediately perked up, eager to see how much Lin Yifeng would quote.

"How about this?"

"A twenty-year contract."

"We, Wallace, will pay a deposit of three million, and I also request that Tianfu Cola have a production line in Zhongzhou Province that is solely responsible for our Wallace Cola."

"At the same time, if Tianfu Cola fails to fulfill the order, it will pay a penalty of five times the amount."

"We can discuss the price of the order further."

The three people from Tianfu Cola were completely dumbfounded.

They originally thought it was just a small business negotiating with them, but Lin Yifeng's attitude made it seem like he wanted to devour them alive.

What does twenty years mean?

The world will change in the next twenty years, and they have no idea what Tianfu Cola and Wallace will be like then.

Most importantly, Lin Yifeng offered a deposit of three million yuan, plus a penalty of five times the amount if they failed to complete the order.

The three of them looked at Lin Yifeng as if they had come to Zhongzhou Province not to negotiate with Wallace, but to discuss with PepsiCo, which wanted to acquire them.

With this overwhelming pressure, the three of them were momentarily stunned by the condition Lin Yifeng had offered.

If you want to argue that it's reasonable, Lin Yifeng provided a deposit in exchange for them establishing a dedicated production line.

If you say it's unreasonable, a twenty-year time limit and a five-fold penalty for breach of contract—Wallace is clearly worried that Tianfu Cola will ruin Wallace's reputation.

The three wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, their eyes filled with worry.

Secretary Liu could only smile awkwardly.

"Mr. Lin, your request is a bit too much for us."

"How about this, let's go back and discuss it again."

"How about we give you an answer tomorrow or the day after?"

Lin Yifeng nodded casually.

After the meeting ended, Lin Yifeng saw the three people off and returned to the conference room.

As soon as he sat down, Guo Fengsheng asked Lin Yifeng with a worried expression.

"Brother Feng, aren't you going a bit too far?"

"Twenty years, is that a requirement?"

"I'm afraid of them..."

Lin Yifeng raised an eyebrow.

"Afraid they won't agree?"

Guo Fengsheng nodded.

Lin Yifeng explained it nonchalantly.

"Old Guo, you're overthinking it. How could they possibly agree to take so long?"

"What I want is simply to give them a difficult condition so that they will re-evaluate our position."

"Otherwise, given our current size, they wouldn't care about us at all."

Lin Yifeng is right. Tianfu Cola, with its size, is incredibly arrogant.

They have numerous internal problems, otherwise they wouldn't have gone so far as to try to get involved with Pepsi.

Lin Yifeng is now putting pressure on them, forcing them to consult with higher-ups and decide whether the deal can be finalized.

Lin Yifeng was not putting pressure on Tianfu Group, but on the three people in front of him, trying to get them to lower themselves and have a proper conversation.

Lin Yifeng estimates that once this uproar is over, Tianfu Cola may consider signing a cooperation agreement for about ten years.

Even if it's not ten years, five years is enough for Lin Yifeng to manage.

What he wants is for Pepsi to drastically reduce Tianfu Cola's production after it is acquired, so that he can then negotiate with Pepsi.

By then, with the rivalry between Pepsi and Coca-Cola, coupled with Lin Yifeng's years of patient development, Wallace would have long since grown into a giant.

Back then, there was no point in talking about cooperation. Lin Yifeng wanted to acquire the formula for Tianfu Cola, and he had the resources to negotiate with Pepsi.

At worst, they can use their partnership with Coca-Cola to pressure Pepsi and force a longer-term collaboration.

It can be said that Lin Yifeng had already figured out the tricks of the three people from Tianfu Cola. Now he just needs to patiently wait for the higher-ups at Tianfu Cola to give their approval.

If they don't cooperate on this multi-million dollar order, they will lose one more bargaining chip when PepsiCo acquires them in the future.

For Tianfu Cola to achieve this level of success, their superiors aren't that stupid.

Meanwhile, the three people who left the conference room immediately contacted headquarters upon returning to their room.

In the general manager's office of Yuzhou, Li Peiquan answered the phone and frowned as he listened to the report from Secretary Li and Manager Qiu.

"An order worth ten million?"

"Can Wallace really eat this much?"

"What? We still have four million worth of goods to deliver?"

"hiss--"

Li Peiquan gasped.

At this moment, he finally understood that he had completely underestimated Lin Yifeng's existence.

The people sent this time were not very experienced in this area, and the other party put pressure on them, forcing them to go back and ask the boss for his opinion.
