Chapter 723 Don't be so greedy.
Shen Ci blinked, somewhat surprised by Li Xiao's sudden appearance, but a half-smile quickly appeared on her face.
Clearly, Li Xiao didn't come here to find her; he came here for the Li family's sake.
Li Xiao was stunned for a few seconds. Fortunately, he already knew in advance that Shen Ci was the investor of this studio. Although he was surprised, he quickly came to his senses.
The others frowned at Li Xiao's rude behavior of barging into someone else's meeting room.
Luo Tianrui asked in an unfriendly tone, "Who are you?"
Li Xiao glanced at everyone in the conference room; they all looked to be young people his age. He composed himself and said in a formal manner, "Excuse me for disturbing you. I am from the Li Group, and I am here with sincerity to discuss cooperation with your company."
Ge Youcai looked at Li Xiao and vaguely recalled something. Before graduation, there were some rumors circulating at school that involved a female student.
He shifted his position closer to Shen Ci and asked uncertainly, "Junior, this guy isn't your ex-boyfriend, is he?"
"Senior has a good memory." Shen Ci didn't hide anything, but instead looked at Ge Youcai and smiled.
Ge Youcai immediately curled his lip: "What bad luck!"
He then turned and sneered at Li Xiao: "What is the Li family doing? From junior staff to department heads to managers, the people coming to our studio are getting higher and higher. Now even the 'Crown Prince' is personally involved? Will Chairman Li himself be coming next time?"
Crown Prince?
The others stared at Li Xiao, sizing him up. No wonder he was so young.
Li Xiao didn't care about these words; he had come with a purpose. He had learned from his father that this matter had put a lot of pressure on the company and was causing his father a great deal of trouble.
So he wanted to help the company resolve this issue and also prove his abilities to his father and the company's senior management.
“I know you have rejected the Li family many times, but we don’t want to give up and we will show our utmost sincerity.” Li Xiao spoke earnestly to himself: “Your teams have worked so hard to develop the program, isn’t the ultimate goal to profit from it? The price offered by the Li family is far higher than that of other companies, so why would you turn down money?”
Senior Peipei gently shook her head and corrected him: "We're not against money, you think too highly of us."
Li Xiao frowned, looking puzzled.
Then Peipei said again, "We're going against the Li family!"
His words caused everyone else to burst into laughter.
Ge Youcai nodded and smiled, "That's right, we're going against the Li family."
Li Xiao's face turned cold. Despite his strong sense of pride, he felt a strong sense of humiliation at this moment.
Are you going against the Li family?
Why would anyone want to pick a fight with the Li family for no reason?
Li Xiao looked at Shen Ci, his eyes clearly indicating that he believed it was Shen Ci's fault.
Shen Ci continued to smile at him, finding it truly satisfying to see him standing there, trying to appear calm yet utterly helpless.
Was she like that before? She tried her best to prove that the paper that Li Xiao stole and published was written by her, but no one believed her. Back then, she was just like Li Xiao now, knowing who was behind it, but helpless in the face of everything.
“Chen Ci”.
Li Xiao finally couldn't help but call her name, because he knew that all of this was Shen Ci's arrangement.
"Our relationship is just a normal thing between a man and a woman. You don't need to go to this extent, do you?"
"Have I done anything unforgivable to you? Why did you have to be so cruel?"
Faced with Li Xiao's indignation and questioning, Shen Ci merely raised an eyebrow: "Absolutely not? Not really..."
"you……"
“Handsome guy.” Luo Tianrui interrupted Li Xiao, coldly reminding him, “Don’t take your incompetence out on a girl. The feud between our studio and the Li family is not as simple as just you and your junior.”
Thinking back to the night they first met Shen Ci, they also encountered Li Wanchang and his wife face-to-face. Without any basis, the other party insulted them and Shen Ci, and their arrogant and condescending attitude is still clear to Luo Tianrui.
Ge Youcai was also present at the time, and his face turned cold upon thinking of this.
Seeing the Crown Prince of the Li family standing in front of me begging for cooperation is truly satisfying!
Suppressing his anger, Li Xiao nodded slightly and continued to speak in a subdued tone: "Regardless of what happened before, we hope to achieve a reconciliation through subsequent cooperation. The Li family really needs your procedures, so you can make any demands you have, and we will try our best to meet them."
Any cooperation and negotiation is a process of consultation. In any case, Li Xiao wanted to secure an opportunity for the other party to be willing to discuss with the Li family.
Can I ask for any conditions?
This time, because Shen Ci was present, Luo Tianrui did not rush to refuse, but looked at Shen Ci to see if she had any new ideas.
A playful smile crept onto Shen Ci's lips: "Can we name any conditions?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiao immediately sensed an opportunity and quickly nodded: "We can mention it!"
"Then I want 30% of the net profit from Li's artificial intelligence business!" Shen Ci said casually, but his words were like an atomic bomb exploding in Li Xiao's ears.
Even Luo Tianrui and his friends were stunned, unable to tell whether the junior was joking or serious.
Are you kidding me?
Thirty percent?
Li Xiao's eyes widened involuntarily, as if he had never expected Shen Ci to make such an outrageous and absurd request.
"you……"
“I’m serious.” Shen Ci interrupted his doubts: “Since you said it’s okay to bring it up, then I will. Whether or not it can be accepted depends on the sincerity of the Li family.”
She was actually serious?
This is an insult, a humiliation to him and the Li family, this is too much!
"Shen Ci!" Li Xiao was furious, his composure completely broken. He glared at Shen Ci and said angrily, "You only pay a few hundred yuan a year to other groups, but Li's Group has already paid three times that price. This is unprecedented in the industry. Even if it gets out and Li's Group is branded as an innocent victim, we don't care."
"Although we have had some unpleasantness in the past, I came here with the sincerity of the Li family. Even if you offered four or five times the price, I think we could still continue to negotiate. Why do you have to mock and humiliate me?"
"Thirty percent net profit, do you know how much that is? Do you know what it means for the Li family?"
"You previously shut the Li family out, and now you want to take this opportunity to bleed them dry. Don't be so greedy!"
Shen Ci said lightly, "I'm not as ugly as you."
Babies, it's the 1st, please give me your monthly votes.
