Faced with Asai Shinjiro's somewhat aggressive attitude, Gu Yuqing just smiled slightly.

"Why, Mr. Asai, do you think I'm not important enough to represent you in negotiations?"

After the translator conveyed this sentence verbatim, the other party did not even respond.

"Beichen Company was the one that took the initiative to contact us, but their leader wasn't present. Isn't that a bit rude no matter how you look at it?"

Gu Yuqing's expression became sharp.

Ishikawa Dong sat aside and pushed his glasses awkwardly.

As a tech geek, it was already a big improvement for him to be able to keep his hands from shaking, let alone chatting and laughing with the other party.

Liu Ruying's colleague came over and whispered, "You're not here with good intentions."

Liu Ruying nodded. She could also see that the other party was trying to suppress this side right away.

Shinjiro Asai carefully observed Gu Yuqing's reaction, blocking his back with both hands, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth after scoring.

This commercial negotiation, to put it mildly, will affect the future stock price trend of Triangle Group and the group's profitability in the next three years.

To put it in a broader sense, it will affect the curve of the global automotive industry and shake Japan's entire economic system.

Because of this, he is even more determined to win. He must use overwhelming advantage to win this negotiation and prove his strength to the entire group.

He had fought hard to gain the qualification to be the negotiating representative this time.

...Three days ago, a secret internal meeting was held within the Triangle Group regarding today's negotiations.

Those who attended the meeting included old man Asai, who was ill and had been hiding in the hospital, Mrs. Asai, Ruriko, and him, as well as all the senior executives of the entire triangle.

Japanese car companies were already on the decline, and the global market was turning towards electric vehicles. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that electric vehicles were the future trend.

All Japanese automakers, including Triangle Group, are sticking to their home turf and are neither mentally nor commercially prepared for the strong rise of electric vehicles.

It is precisely because the advantages in the traditional field of gasoline vehicles are too obvious and the structure in all aspects is too solidified that the entire industry is unable to change direction.

The industry calls this phenomenon: the leading dilemma.

If the cooperation with Beichen and Yunshan can be concluded, Triangle Group will be the first company in Japan to break this leading dilemma.

As the CEO, it was only natural for him to take over the responsibilities of the negotiating representative.

If he were to personally resolve this situation, his prestige in the Triangle Group would reach its peak.

By then, no matter how much Mrs. Asai controls the government from behind the scenes and uses the old man to control the people, she will not be able to shake his position.

If he could understand this logic, the other two sides could obviously understand it as well.

So in that secret meeting, he was forced to issue a military order: if the negotiations failed, he would have to give up his position as CEO.

This is a gamble that involves your future.

Shinjiro lowered his head and stared at the woman in front of him.

The strange thing is that although she is just a woman, her aura is no less than that of a man. Even when facing her own accusations, she did not reveal a single flaw.

Gu Yuqing said, "Although we took the initiative to contact your group this time, it was also due to considerations of global economic revitalization and complementary advantages. I'm afraid the benefits outweigh the disadvantages for you. If Mr. Asai thinks that because we took the initiative, we should give you more benefits in the hope of smooth cooperation, then I'm afraid you won't be happy with the subsequent negotiations."

Asai Shinjiro clenched his fist, then slowly released it and said:

"I definitely didn't mean that. It's just that your representative hasn't arrived yet. How can we proceed with the negotiations? This is delaying everyone's time!"

Gu Yuqing said calmly, "Everyone from both our boards is here. Why bother waiting for someone to come? I suggest we start the negotiations first. There's no need to wait for that person."

Ishikawa Dong on the side nodded repeatedly. This was not what he was good at at all. He sat there like a puppet, following Gu Yuqing's orders in everything.

Shinjiro also let it go. Repeatedly mentioning it would only weaken the power of the cards in his hand. He nodded and said:

"Then don't waste time, let's get started."

Liu Ruying distributed folders to everyone, turning her head to look outside the door from time to time.

What is Chen Ya doing?

…

Qin Yunshang finished her a cappella singing, squinting her eyes slightly and placing her hands on her diaphragm, still waiting for the lingering sound of her voice, when Chen Ya started clapping:

"Not bad. It barely keeps me from going back to China and finding someone else to sing."

Qin Yunshang puffed up her cheeks and said, "Will you die if I really praise you? Is it so hard to admit that I'm awesome?"

Qin Yunchu blinked and said, "Wow, this song is also very nice. All three songs are so beautifully written. What will we do in the finals?"

"Let's write a new song after the finals." Chen Ya stood up and looked at his watch. "I have to go."

"Wait a moment!"

Chen Ya walked to the door and Qin Yunshang trotted over.

"You can go, but you have to make some contribution to our group, right? Here are the tickets. Send them out, and your mission will be accomplished!"

Chen Ya was holding a stack of about ten tickets for the finals that Qin Yunshang had stuffed in his arms. He felt a bit embarrassed and helpless.

"Where can I send them?"

"You can send them to anyone! Do you know how many I have here? I definitely can't send them all by myself!"

Chen Ya waved his hand and turned to walk out.

Tickets for the finals are calculated based on points. Whoever sends out more tickets will have higher points.
