"Well... okay, thank you so much."
"So, are you planning to use this money to travel for a while?"
"No, I plan to use this money to pay off my mortgage."
"What about the rest of the money?"
"I'll pay back the rest of the money slowly later."
"..."
After saying goodbye to Zhang Meili, Ye Qian called Lin Chen to report.
"Boss, that's what happened. In the end, Taobao agreed to compensate 800,000 yuan, which was within my expectations."
"This young man is quite interesting."
"Huh? What?"
"Didn't you notice that this young man controlled the pace of the entire negotiation? When their manager said 200,000, he took the initiative to mention 500,000, and then he took the initiative to mention 800,000. This was not only a test of the price, but also a judgment based on your and Zhang Meili's expressions."
"Huh? Is he that good?"
"Otherwise what? Anyone with a normal brain wouldn't voluntarily help their competitor raise prices, let alone a law master's student."
Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Ye Qian suddenly realized what he meant.
Yes, during the negotiations just now, Xiaofa was the only one talking. It seemed like he was helping Zhang Meili get 800,000, but couldn't that 800,000 be the budget that Alibaba was already planning to provide?
In fact, Alibaba's budget might be more than 800,000!
"I'm sorry, boss, it was my carelessness."
"It's not your fault. You're a talent in law, but you're not omnipotent. Sometimes these things depend a lot on talent. By the way, if you have the chance, try to see if you can poach this talent from our company."
"Okay, boss, I'll give it a try."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Qian did not contact Xiao Fa immediately.
Who would have thought that this seemingly harmless young man with little social experience would have such a side to him?
However, a famous scumbag once said that things usually become interesting when a woman becomes curious about a man.
Back at the hotel, Ye Qian opened MiXin and sent a message to Xiao Fa.
Are you there?
"Yes, Mr. Ye."
"I've finished my business and I'm about to go back to Shanghai. Let me treat you to a meal before I leave to thank you for your hospitality."
"Wow, then I'll have to accept. But Shanghai and Hangzhou are so close, Mr. Ye, you can come to Hangzhou anytime you want to eat Hangzhou cuisine, and I'll be your tour guide."
"Haha, that's great! I'll book the restaurant tonight and send you the reservations."
"Okay, see you tonight."
Ye Qian opened Meituan, found a restaurant with a high rating, made a reservation, and then sent the location to Xiao Fa via MiXin.
"Wow, Mr. Ye, so this is what you meant by sending location. I thought you just sent me street names and house numbers. I didn't know Mixin had a location sending function. I've learned something new."
"Then quickly bring all your relatives and friends over to use MiXin, and I'll go to our boss to get you a commission."
"I'll share half with you then."
"The boss is so generous!"
That evening, the two arrived at the agreed-upon restaurant.
"Mr. Ye, this restaurant has a nice ambiance, it must be very expensive."
"Don't worry, although I don't have a Land Rover, I can still afford to treat you to a meal."
"Haha, then I won't be polite."
After ordering a few dishes, the two ate and chatted.
"Xiao Fa, I never knew you were such a skilled negotiator."
"No, no, I even got scolded by my manager when I got back."
"Stop pretending, I've already figured it out. But 800,000 is already within our expectations, so we didn't raise the price any further."
"President Ye, you truly live up to your reputation. My little tricks really can't fool you."
"But you just graduated, where did you learn all this?"
"If I really have to say, I probably learned it from my mother when she was running the shop, by observing her all the time."
"ah?"
"Mr. Ye, you may not have this experience. My mother used to run a women's clothing store. Whenever she encountered a difficult customer, she would secretly ask Aunt Zhang, who sells shoes next door, to help her. The two of them would work together to win over the customer."
"Tsk tsk tsk, Auntie is really a master."
"She's just an ordinary women's clothing store owner, nothing to mention."
After the two finished their meal, it was already 8 p.m. Ye Qian still hadn't gotten to the main point. Poaching people shouldn't be rushed, after all, this Xiao Fa clearly wasn't short of money and wouldn't run away with you just because of a salary.
After finishing their meal, the two went for a walk along the West Lake.
As she walked, Ye Qian came across a bar.
So she came up with a plan: she would get the young man drunk. At that age, guys who have a few drinks will dare to brag about anything. She would then trick him into agreeing to switch jobs, record a video, and see how he would change his mind later.
Perfect, let's get started.
"Xiao Fa, that bar up ahead looks nice, let's go grab a drink."
"Come on, Mr. Ye, it's my treat this time."
"Haha, you're quite particular."
This is a quiet bar, and there aren't many people there yet. The two found an empty seat and sat down, listening to the resident singer playing guitar and singing.
"Xiao Fa, why didn't you stay in the capital or go back to do business with your mother? Instead, you went to work at Alibaba. Although Alibaba's salary and benefits are good, as an ordinary employee, it's just so-so, right?"
“Indeed, I only make five thousand a month now, and after deductions for social insurance and housing fund, I only get three thousand. Besides, my mom doesn’t run the shop anymore.”
"Huh? You're closing down the shop? Is business bad?"
"Business is indeed so-so. Online shopping is popular now, but the main reason is that something happened at home."
"Something happened at home? How serious is it?"
"It's alright, it's just that we lost our house."
"You call this okay? What happened to the house? Did the bank foreclose on it because of debts?"
"No, not really. It's just that my family was involved in a demolition and relocation project. They took all of my houses and gave me some compensation, plus two plots of land for building houses. The houses aren't even finished yet."
"Oh, it's a demolition project. That's good, demolition is a good thing... What? Two residential plots? Do you redeem land for demolished properties?"
“Because my family originally built a self-built house with eight rooms, but it was all demolished. We were compensated with two plots of land, which could only be used to build six rooms. In the end, my family lost money.”
Ye Qian's lips twitched. "Boss, with their family's financial situation, how am I supposed to dig them up? Even an excavator couldn't budge them!"
"Trading eight rooms for six is definitely a loss."
"There's no other way, we have to respond to the official call. But the village is quite good, they gave us two very good locations. The house has just been built with a frame, and some hotels have already come to us to rent the whole house."
