10:00 PM.
Linglong Club, Room 07.
Beside the solid wood tea table, a technician dressed in a cheongsam was brewing tea, while Feng Dongmei and Hu Ling sat facing each other.
"Ah Ling, I've investigated them, and there's nothing wrong with them, but I still feel uneasy. Do you think we should continue this business?"
Hu Ling smiled and said, "Sister Mei, you don't seem like such a timid person."
“When people get old, they have to think things through more carefully. Don’t you find it strange? I know all of Xue Nan’s relationships over the years. That brand representative said they were classmates, but they haven’t been in contact for so long. There must be something fishy going on here. Can you ask around for me if you don’t know anyone there?”
"Alright, since Sister Mei has spoken, I have no choice but to comply."
Hu Ling picked up her phone and made a call, communicating in a foreign language for a while.
After hanging up the phone, Feng Dongmei immediately asked, "How did it go?"
Hu Ling took a sip of tea before slowly saying, "Your concerns are indeed valid. That company has closed many stores, and their largest investor has withdrawn their shares."
"So that's how it is. So you mean they came to me because they need something from me?"
"That's right."
"Hehe, luckily I kept my eyes open. If it were that idiot Xue Nan, he might have agreed to such a high price without hesitation. He's too eager to succeed and always wants to prove himself. He has no idea how deep the water is in here."
"Heh, after all, you've suppressed him for so many years, it's normal for him to have some resentment. Now that you know the truth, what do you plan to do? Refuse to cooperate?"
Feng Dongmei smiled.
"Cooperation is still possible. Now that I know the truth, I have the initiative in my hands. After all, they are a big brand, and cooperating with them would be beneficial to me. It's just that the price... you know."
"Sister Mei is really good at business; I can never compare to her."
Hu Ling praised her.
Feng Dongmei was also quite arrogant; "Ah Ling, there's no need to say that. Sometimes, when a business gets too big, it can be very troublesome. I still envy you. Just opening a club is fine. It's simple and good enough. You can build connections and sell information. It doesn't cost much."
Hu Ling smiled, praised the other party a few more times, and also put herself in a very humble position, making Feng Dongmei feel that she was the main character.
After seeing Feng Dongmei off, Hu Ling returned to her office and found Chen Zhe waiting at the door.
Hu Ling crossed her arms and looked at him with a smile.
"Why are you here? Don't you have to go to work these days?"
"Sister Hu, has Feng Dongmei arrived?"
"Heh, you're quite well-informed. Who told you?"
As Hu Ling spoke, she opened the office door, and Chen Zhe followed her inside before closing it.
"Xue Nan gave me his phone number and said that Feng Dongmei was not at home. I guessed that she must have come here."
Hu Ling sat on the sofa, crossed her legs, and then lit a cigarette.
"That's right, she just left."
"Sister Hu, did she say anything?"
"She asked me, was that client real or fake?"
"Then...how will you answer?"
"Of course I answered truthfully, Chen Zhe. Our club cannot lie to its customers, do you understand that?"
"Of course I understand, what is she thinking?"
"She feels there are risks, but she also feels the benefits outweigh the risks, so she'll probably try to lower the price. This deal should go through."
Hearing this answer, Chen Zhe breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Sister Hu."
"No need to thank me. Whether it's you or Yang Yun, your plans are your plans. It has nothing to do with me. If any clients come to me with questions, I will tell them the truth. That's why our club can continue to operate. We're all about being real."
"I understand, Sister Hu. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
"Wait a minute, there's one more thing."
As Chen Zhe was about to leave, Hu Ling called him back. He turned around and asked, "Is there anything I can do for you, Sister Hu?"
"I heard your air conditioners are selling well at Kenfield, is that true?"
"It's alright. If Sister Hu is interested, I'll send the share transfer agreement over tomorrow."
Hu Ling laughed; "What? Do you think I'm a glutton? That I have to eat everything clean?"
“I didn’t mean that. Everything I have today is thanks to Sister Hu. If it weren’t for Sister Hu, I would still be earning 4,000 yuan a month.”
Hu Ling nodded, quite satisfied with Chen Zhe's attitude.
"It's good that you have this awareness. Don't worry, I was just asking. I'm not interested in your little business. I just wanted to remind you to be clear about which side is more important and which is less important."
Hu Ling didn't want Chen Zhe to delay her important matters because of his small business.
"I understand, Sister Hu. I will hand over all matters to Wang De tomorrow, and I will not interfere with matters over there from now on."
Hu Ling didn't ask Chen Zhe to do this, but Chen Zhe felt he had to; he needed to reassure Hu Ling because she had already asked.
Hu Ling was very satisfied with Chen Zhe's attitude; this was exactly the kind of talent she needed.
"Okay, I'm glad you understand. Alright, you can go back now."
"good!"
...
Feng Dongmei pushed the price down very low, and the other party initially refused. However, after Feng Dongmei explained their current situation, they finally agreed.
They desperately need this market, and they also desperately need Feng Dongmei as a stable partner.
But just when everything was proceeding smoothly according to Feng Dongmei's plan, something went wrong again.
The original cooperation plan was that the other party would put the products on Feng Dongmei's platform for sale. However, after I advertised and promoted them, the other party told me that they were out of stock.
After all that preparation and just as I was about to list it, I was told it was out of stock? Isn't that just ridiculous?
Although the other party said they could compensate for my losses according to the contract, can this small amount of money buy back my reputation? I've done so much advertising, and if my reputation is ruined, I'll lose a lot of customers.
Feng Dongmei is currently holding a meeting to discuss this issue.
The final conclusion was that they had to go abroad to negotiate with them, but who should they send? The people she had here were very good at the domestic market, but they had little experience when it came to foreign countries.
Finally, after much deliberation, Xue Nan was deemed the most suitable person to go abroad. He had studied abroad, was a classmate of the brand's manager, and was familiar with the overseas environment.
Although Feng Dongmei was reluctant to send him, she had already invested so much, and she couldn't afford any mistakes.
Having no other choice, she could only turn her gaze to Xue Nan.
"Go there!"
