71% of the Earth's surface is surrounded by oceans, and within these vast oceans, at least three million sunken ships lie quietly at the bottom, waiting to be discovered!
What does this m...
Chapter 1243 is looking for your cooperation
But the woman's answer surprised Xiao Peng: "Well, actually we don't want money, but we want to cooperate with Mr. Xiao."
Xiao Peng was stunned. "Cooperation? What kind of cooperation can I have with you? Being your spokesperson? Sorry, I've never endorsed anything. It's even more impossible for me to endorse an NGO, especially not an animal protection NGO. The Paris Zoo was already annoying me enough, and now with animal rights activists blocking my door, there's no way I'm endorsing you. There's no way I'm going to endorse you. That's non-negotiable!"
The woman said, "Mr. Xiao, you misunderstood me. My cooperation does not mean endorsing PETA. Of course, if you agree to endorse us, that would be something we would love to do, but we've done research, and the chances of you agreeing to endorse us are almost zero."
Xiao Peng asked curiously, "Then what can we endorse for you?"
The woman pulled a folder from her handbag and handed it to Xiao Peng. Xiao Peng took it and flipped through it, his brow furrowing more and more. He quickly flipped through it and put the file back on the table without saying a word.
The woman smiled and said, "I've heard that Mr. Xiao has super reading abilities. I didn't believe it before I met you, but now it seems to be true."
Xiao Peng said calmly, "A wise man in our country once said, 'Don't believe when someone praises you; don't listen when someone criticizes you. Don't associate with people who randomly praise or criticize you; it will only lead them to lose their integrity.' Let's cut the politeness and get straight to the point."
After hearing this, the woman said, "Mr. Xiao, you're a billionaire, so straightforward. So I'll be frank too. Our cooperation isn't free. You'll have a 3% stake in our factory in Norfolk, Virginia. This is our greatest sincerity! Mr. Xiao, even though you're a billionaire and may not value wealth here, believe me, the benefits this will bring you are far more than just financial gain. You've lived in Europe for a long time, and you should know that 'environmental protection' and 'animal protection' are the main themes here. Your cooperation with us will only elevate your reputation to a higher level."
Xiao Peng was silent for a moment and then said, "I can't give you an answer to this matter right now. I need to think it over carefully before I can give you an answer."
"Of course!" The woman's face was full of smiles. "This is not a trivial matter, so it certainly requires careful consideration. I wonder if a month would be enough?"
Xiao Peng didn't answer him, but waved. At this time, Hedi pulled up in front of him in a small Wuling MINI. Xiao Peng stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go back and think about it!"
The male lawyer quickly said, "Mr. Xiao, take this document back and take another look at it!"
Xiao Peng pointed to his head: "No need, it's all here!"
The male lawyer expressed disbelief: "So much content?"
The woman hurriedly said, "Alright, Mr. Xiao is famous for his reading ability and memory. If he says he can remember it, he will definitely remember it. Mr. Xiao, as a billionaire, you drive such an environmentally friendly car, which means you are also very environmentally conscious. We should be able to work together well. I feel that we will definitely be good partners. I hope to get your good response."
After the woman finished speaking, she extended her hand to Xiao Peng to shake hands with him.
Xiao Peng glanced at her hand and said, "I'm really sorry, I don't have the habit of shaking hands with people. I hope you can understand."
The woman didn't get angry after hearing this: "Wow, Mr. Xiao actually has similar living habits to 'Iron Man' Tony Stark. No wonder you're so successful!"
Xiao Peng nodded slightly to show that he accepted the woman's statement, and then said, "Okay, I'll be leaving first!"
The woman nodded. "I look forward to our next meeting."
Xiao Peng nodded and got in the car.
After Xiao Peng got into the car and left, the male lawyer came over and said, "Ms. Miranda, I don't think this Daxia man wants to cooperate with us. He didn't even take the documents or shake your hand goodbye. He doesn't show us enough respect."
But the woman called Miranda laughed: "Really? I think it's already done!"
"Why?" the male lawyer was puzzled.
Miranda said, "He's a billionaire. He must have seen his wealth potential from the document just now. You know rich people, they're addicted to making money! He's just too proud to let go of his pride right now. He'll go back and seriously consider it. If he had been so polite just now, I would have thought this thing wouldn't work out! Do you know why I have to do this? Because I know the people of Daxia. Daxia people value so-called 'face' more than anything else. They're the typical 'say no with their mouths but are honest with their bodies' type of people. Now this thing is basically done. If there is any problem, it's about the share ratio."
The male lawyer was stunned after hearing this: "Yes, doesn't it clearly say it's a 12% stake? Why did you say 4%?"
"I just said that I understand the people of Daxia. Their favorite thing is bargaining. For a top tycoon like Xiao Peng, the difference between 4% and 12% is not that big. If he really agrees to our cooperation, we will have fierce business negotiations. At that time, we will be satisfied if he can get the shares between 5.5% and 6.5%. As for the remaining shares, can't we get a share?" Miranda said proudly.
The male lawyer gave a thumbs-up and said, "Ms. Miranda really understands the people of Daxia. Let's report this good news to headquarters right away. I'll call them right away."
Miranda waved her hand: "No, I'll call and tell you the good news myself!"
"Okay!" said the male lawyer with a smile.
Compared with the two happy people, Xiao Peng felt extremely depressed at this time.
Khedira asked: "Boss, what made you so angry?"
After hearing this, Xiao Peng said, "Khedira, call Walter right away and have him smash all the teacups and sofas that these two people used when they came to our house today!"
"All smashed?" Khedira was stunned. Smashing teacups was fine, but what about the sofa? The sofa at home was a traditional Dutch handmade sheepskin sofa, which was really expensive! He was also very impressed with this sofa set. Xiao Peng had fallen in love with it at first sight when he went shopping on his own. How could a sofa he loved so much be smashed?
After hearing this, Xiao Peng said calmly, "Smash it! How can people use something that a dog has used?"
"Hiss!" After hearing this, Khedira took a deep breath, called Walter directly, and told Walter what Xiao Peng said exactly.
After hearing this, Walter just said "I know" and hung up the phone.
After she hung up the phone, she looked up and said, "King William, Mayor Abotalib, I'm sorry, please stand up for a moment. My boss asked me to smash this sofa!"
William and the other man were stunned: "Fuck, we're all waiting for you here, and you're still smashing the sofa? Do you have a grudge against us?"
Fortunately, Walter continued: "Don't get me wrong, the boss is not targeting you. He doesn't even know you are waiting for him. But I'm afraid I have to tell you a bad news - my boss is pissed off!"
