Chapter 44
Gu Chen placed his left hand, which was wearing a watch and a wedding ring, on the plan in front of him. He glanced across the room calmly. All the representatives present had already sensed the complete difference between their opponents.
In the first round of negotiations, Li Jiashu's eyes were young, energetic and positive, but still carried the uncertainty and tension that are unique to young people entering the business world for the first time. Precisely because he was young, he took it too seriously.
However, although this person looks young, he is calm and composed in his every move, with a somewhat nonchalant look and a relaxed posture, as if he is just here for an ordinary short meeting.
However, if it was just the aura, they would not be so afraid. But Huanyu's actions in the past three days were as fast as the wind, and every step was exquisite.
On the first day, we asked the government for endorsement and used ourselves as the standard. This not only cleared our own name, but also left everyone too busy to take care of themselves, severely warning all companies so that they now dare not act rashly.
The next day, he talked with five large companies in a row, which made all the companies that were waiting and watching uneasy and made competitors suspicious of each other.
On the third day, we visited seven asset appraisal companies, covering almost all the company's partners. This made everyone start to worry. Is there anything we can do in the asset appraisal process?
This is almost an open conspiracy. It is obvious that the other party just wants to make them unable to take care of themselves, to divide them, and to make them focus on other issues. But people's hearts are like this, and even if they know it, they will still join the game.
These measures seem easy to think of, but they were able to hit the nail on the head in just three days, suppressing all companies with a combination of attack and defense, turning the world from passive to active, and from weak to strong. It is truly shocking.
After many days of fighting, everyone already knew Li Jiashu very well. Although it was Li Jiashu who went out for negotiations and inspections, they did not think that it was Li Jiashu's work.
Behind every move of the world, there must be someone with great powers plotting.
Now seeing that Li Jiashu always puts this person first, the identity of the master who is stirring up trouble behind the scenes is self-evident.
The invisible shock during those three days had turned into tangible pressure when he saw me in person.
The silence at this moment was their fear. It seemed that the opponent knew them very well and even controlled their mentality, but they were completely unfamiliar with this powerful opponent.
Therefore, no one is willing to speak up and be the first to speak, but instead waits for others to speak first to test the waters.
The oppressive silence lasted for a minute. Li Jiashu finally broke the silence and introduced: "Ahem, representatives, this is Mr. Gu who is representing Huanyu to attend the negotiations today."
"Hello, Mr. Gu."
"Nice to meet you."
Everyone responded, got to know each other and said hello, but in their hearts they were already searching to find out which company this Mr. Gu was the executive that Li Jiashu had found to save the day.
The negotiation process finally began, and the first to lose their patience were some companies with relatively backward facilities, equipment and industrial systems.
In the first round of negotiations, they united to put pressure on Li Jiashu and put forward many unreasonable demands, which forced Li Jiashu to retreat step by step and be speechless. They gave him a severe warning, allowing them to gain momentum in the first round of negotiations.
In this second round of negotiations, although the opponents were different, they still adopted this strategy, trying to force Huanqiu to compromise.
Soon, the venue turned into a "vegetable market" for these dozen companies.
Li Jiashu hissed inwardly. It was a terrible, familiar smell. But today he finally didn't need to answer! He was really relieved.
However, because they were unsure of the world's attitude, the most influential large companies did not act rashly.
The cups used at the venue were very traditional ceramic cups with lids, on which were burned ink-colored bamboo leaves. Gu Chen picked up the cup, slowly admired the pattern on the cup, and slowly drank his tea.
The representatives of these companies with relatively backward professionalism looked at Huanyu's reaction while they talked, but Gu Chen's attitude made it seem like it was unclear whether he was listening or not...
A representative reminded: "Mr. Gu, please listen carefully to our demands."
Gu Chen said nonchalantly: "Yeah."
Since he had been reminded and Gu Chen had answered, that meant there was nothing more to say and he had to speak his own mind.
They spoke passionately at the beginning, but their voices became quieter and quieter. It didn't seem like a big deal when everyone was putting pressure on them, but now that I'm speaking alone, I feel like what I'm asking is ridiculous, and repeating it over and over again seems pointless...
Some representatives who were more aware of the situation had gradually sat back down, and the remaining two or three people were talking and it seemed to be getting quieter and quieter. Looking around, everyone was drinking tea or looking through documents, and no one cared about what they were saying anymore.
The few who were still watching them, especially the representatives of large companies such as Tonghai, Ecolab, Zhengming, GH, and Fengda, had begun to frown.
Finally, in the stagnant atmosphere, no one spoke, all the representatives sat back, and the scene became quiet again.
Gu Chen then put down his teacup and said slowly, "Jiashu, please distribute the meeting materials to everyone."
Everyone had different expressions. Li Jiashu was the second young master of the Li family after all. It was one thing for everyone to confront Li Jiashu for their own interests in the business world, but they still had to respect him off the field.
How could someone still order him around like this and treat him as an errand boy? This Mr. Gu was truly extraordinary.
After hearing Gu Chen's instructions, Li Jiashu was very obedient. He even felt honored to be given instructions, and he happily distributed the information with a smile on his face.
This made the representatives have to be polite when receiving the information.
The representatives who spoke passionately just now got the plan and are trying to find relevant content so that they can find some more reasons to deal with the world in a targeted manner.
But they flipped through the pages again and again, carefully reading every page, but did not see any content that was related to their interests.
Finally, the document was flipped through and the last page was ruthlessly turned over. They saw the last line on the last page which said:
10. Others
The remaining 13 companies not mentioned in the plan will maintain normal operations and formulate a separate plan three months before the expiration of the transition period.
The other 13 companies were directly omitted: "..."
The faces of these 13 representatives turned green. What they wanted was to get more money, instead of the world just ignoring them!
One of the representatives directly asked: "Boss Gu, what does this tenth article mean?"
Gu Chen said: "Since everyone still has doubts about promoting full-domain integration, everyone can maintain the status quo for now. During the transition period, Huanyu will not interfere with the normal operations of these 13 companies."
Gu Chen just explained the last sentence in the plan, but the representatives immediately felt that something was wrong! Huanyu really meant that!
Immediately, a representative said: "I strongly oppose this plan! No! Absolutely not!"
Gu Chen said, "I'm sorry, since this proposal does not involve any content related to your companies, you don't need to participate in the vote. You can attend the meeting as observers or leave as you wish."
He leaned back in his chair, already holding up his teacup, as if the questions about the 13 families had already been answered and he was waiting for them to leave.
One representative immediately stood up and fiercely objected: "You said we don't need to talk about it now? Do you have the final say?"
"We are here to discuss a result today! You must give us an explanation!"
But Gu Chen didn't move either.
Seeing that these people couldn't win the argument and started to act unreasonably and throw a tantrum, Li Jiashu was just about to say something in response.
The representative of Tonghai had already spoken, and he said with a bit of impatience: "Okay, didn't you say every day at the beginning that you didn't want to be integrated? Now that they let you develop freely, what are you dissatisfied with?"
"What does your problem have to do with them now? What does it have to do with us? What does it have to do with the plan we are going to discuss next? Stop making trouble and wasting everyone's time."
Zhengming's representative also glanced at his watch and said in a deep voice, "Indeed, you have been making some meaningless and unreasonable requests, and have wasted almost an hour of everyone's time."
These large companies do not care about the interests of these atmosphere groups, and now is past the stage of making random demands to pressure others. It is time to talk about the specific content. These people are too tactless.
The representative who fiercely opposed Gu Chen's chest was heaving violently. He proposed some relatively high conditions to Huanyu. He wanted to suppress Huanyu first and then negotiate the price. Wasn't that what everyone did at the beginning? How come it became a meaningless request now?
The representative of GH was more direct: "Please ask those who are not involved to step aside first." The content to be discussed next is related to their interests, and he does not want these atmosphere groups to stay here, as there are too many people and too many eyes.
The representative of Fengda nodded: "Okay, then those who should leave please leave."
Li Jiashu looked at Gu Chen in surprise. Was this also within his sister-in-law's expectations?
Gu Chen also glanced at Li Jiashu, his eyes spoke for themselves.
Li Jiashu: "?" Hmm? What does this mean?
Li Jiashu suddenly had an idea, looked at everyone, and said, "Ah? Then I don't need to hire security, right?"
Gu Chen was flipping through some documents and smiled when he heard this.
Li Jiashu:!!!
Good! He is so smart! He actually got the approval of his sister-in-law! His sister-in-law's smile is so... He can't describe it. However, everything is under control!
Having said that, the 13 companies had no choice but to stand up and leave.
Although the words of coercion were not said by Gu Chen, and Gu Chen had not said much until then, they all looked at Gu Chen deeply and remembered this Mr. Gu.
Li Jiashu was shocked to see that the number of people in the venue had dropped by half.
Oh my god... my sister-in-law instantly bought 13 houses...
