"Manager, why are you looking at me like that? Mr. Ye and I were just talking about academic issues, it was nothing serious."
“I understand, I understand. Then you and Mr. Ye can arrange a time and place to meet, and we’ll head over now.”
"Yes, manager."
Xiao Fa contacted Ye Qian, while the manager called the manager of the online public opinion department.
"Hey, Lao Yu, let me tell you, it took me a lot of effort to get Xingchen Technology to agree to a settlement."
"Really? Old Fa, you're that strong?"
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you saying? When have I ever not been fierce? We're one of Alibaba's Five Tigers, okay?"
"Oh right, you're the leader of the Five Tigers. We really have to thank you this time. What conditions did they offer?"
"I haven't gone to talk to them yet. I'm just calling to ask what conditions you can accept so I can go and talk to them."
“My authority is 500,000, but this is a level 2 crisis. How about this, if it can be handled within one million, I think it shouldn’t be a big problem.”
"Okay, I understand now."
The manager had just hung up the phone when Xiao Fa rushed in again.
"Manager, it's all arranged. We'll meet at a teahouse by West Lake at 2 PM."
"Xiao Fa, well done. This case was all thanks to you."
"Not at all, it's just an ordinary case, nothing to mention."
In the afternoon, the manager once again got into Xiao Fa's Land Rover and went to negotiate with Ye Qian.
When they arrived, Ye Qian and Zhang Meili were already there.
"Mr. Ye, thank you for giving us the opportunity to sit down and talk."
“Hey, Manager Fa, you’re mistaken. It’s not me giving you the opportunity, it’s Ms. Zhang who is giving you the opportunity. She’s the one involved.”
"Yes, yes, Mr. Ye is right to remind us. Thank you for your understanding, Ms. Zhang. We are just employees, and we have no choice but to complete the tasks assigned by our boss."
"I understand, I understand. I felt your sincerity yesterday, you even came to my door in person. I'm actually very easy to talk to, but I had some unpleasant things happen before, and I couldn't stand it, so I posted a Weibo. I didn't expect it to have such a big impact."
The manager's lips twitched. He thought to himself, "Everyone knows what's going on, so let's skip the nonsense and just get straight to the point."
However, even though that's what I thought in my heart, I still said it out loud.
"Hehe, Ms. Zhang, actually, this was an unintentional mistake on our part at Taobao. It's extremely rare for a product to have quality issues, and we just didn't expect you to run into it. But ultimately, it's because our Taobao self-operated store staff didn't do their job properly and didn't check the product carefully before shipping."
"I understand, I understand."
"We can compensate Ms. Zhang with 200,000 yuan, but Ms. Zhang needs to post a new Weibo post saying that the previous matter with Taobao was a misunderstanding, and cooperate with us to buy a trending topic on Taobao."
Two hundred thousand?
The other three people present all exclaimed in surprise.
However, Ye Qian and Xiao Fa felt it was too little, while Zhang Meili felt it was too much.
You know, she works hard all year and her income is less than 200,000 yuan. She can earn 200,000 yuan just by posting a Weibo.
Isn't this like a pie falling from the sky?
She was about to agree, but when she saw Ye Qian's disgusted expression, she realized that this matter was not so simple.
So she cast an inquiring glance at Ye Qian.
Ye Qian nodded and was about to speak when Xiao Fa spoke first.
"Manager, why is it only 200,000? Didn't the online public opinion department say 500,000?"
Manager: ...I never expected the traitor to be right next to me.
"Ahem, didn't I just say 500,000?"
"No, you just said two hundred thousand."
"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, Xiao Fa is right, it's 500,000. Luckily you reminded me, Xiao Fa."
Ye Qian almost burst out laughing; this little Fa was really adorable.
Unexpectedly, Fabregas continued.
"However, manager, I think 500,000 is still too low. This is my first case, and a mere 500,000 is really not worthy of my position."
The manager was about to lose control of his inner rage. "Your identity? What identity do you have? Aren't you just an ordinary second-generation rich kid?"
The manager said through gritted teeth.
"So, how much do you think would be appropriate?"
“I think 800,000 is about right. This matter has had a significant impact, and it must have also had a considerable impact on Ms. Zhang’s life. With this money, Ms. Zhang can go on a trip to relax and then come back to work and life after things have calmed down.”
Eight hundred thousand?!
Zhang Meili was dumbfounded. What was going on with this handsome young man in front of her?
Isn't he from Alibaba? Why is he helping me instead? Does he have his eye on my looks? Oh no, I'll get shy!
Zhang Meili nodded shyly, indicating her agreement.
Ye Qian was taken aback. Huh? Why did you agree to it without consulting me? But the price is about right. This little Fa is really getting better and better to look at.
Finally, the two sides reached an agreement.
Alibaba compensated Zhang Meili with 800,000 yuan for emotional distress. Zhang Meili deleted her Weibo post and cooperated with Alibaba to release a statement, which was basically to tell the general public that Taobao was fine and a good company.
After the manager and Xiao Fa left the teahouse, the manager couldn't wait to say something.
"Xiao Fa, how can you proactively raise the price during negotiations? You didn't take some benefits from the other party, did you?"
"Manager, do you think I need that little bit of kickback? Think about it, I just raised the price to 800,000 in one go, and the other party agreed without even thinking about it. That saves so much time, and the money is also within the 1 million quota given by the Internet Public Opinion Department. Isn't that a win-win situation?"
The manager thought about it and realized that it was true. Moreover, based on past experience, if you were stingy during negotiations, the other party would actually ask for more and more, even exceeding your original expectations.
"Hey, I didn't expect this, Fabregas. You know quite a lot. I didn't expect this situation."
"Oh, it was just an ordinary business negotiation, nothing to mention."
manager:……
In the teahouse, Zhang Meili turned to Ye Qian and said.
"Mr. Ye, thank you. But I can't take all of this money. I'll transfer half to your company."
"Ms. Zhang, no need, no need. This is compensation for you, we can't accept it."
"Mr. Ye, really, without you, I wouldn't have received a single penny, and I might even have been sued by Alibaba."
"Ms. Zhang, really, there's no need. If I take your money back, my boss will definitely fire me. Besides, my boss doesn't need the money. Our company's market value is currently the highest in the country."
