Chapter 236: A Show of Power
"Haha, Mr. Deng, maybe everyone around you is afraid of you, but to me, you are just a business competitor. Or maybe we can be friends."
Deng Ziming stared at Lin Yi with a playful expression for a while. Seeing that he remained calm and composed, he said, "Friends? That's surprising. You run Xiangyi, and I run Meiyi. Since ancient times, competitors have always been enemies. And now you're telling me we're friends? Mr. Lin, are you kidding me?"
"For your sake, many of Meiyi's old customers have left. Mr. Lin, although you are young, you should know the rules of each industry when you start out. Harmony brings wealth. You are so self-centered and don't care about the lives of others. Aren't you a little ignorant?"
Lin Yi smiled. "Rules? I only know the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest. That's the way to survive. Affordable products are more popular with consumers, so they have so many supporters. I got this honestly. I didn't steal, rob, or break any laws. What don't you understand?"
Lin Yi just couldn't stand the skinny and pretentious look of this guy. Everyone should do business based on their own abilities. If he can't win, he will resort to dirty tricks. What kind of man is he?
Deng Ziming said nothing after hearing this. He picked up a small glass next to him and played with it. Suddenly, he exerted force and the glass broke. Blood dripped from the hand as pale as paper. The pure white and bright red collided with each other, bringing a strong visual impact.
Deng Ziming casually threw the glass shards to the ground and snorted coldly: "Mr. Lin, are you planning to refuse my toast and drink a forfeit?"
Lin Yi was not panicked at all. He raised his hand and looked at it.
"Hey, Mr. Deng, why are there still mosquitoes in your office? No wonder I felt itchy just now! Where did they fly to?"
Lin Yi finally set his sights on a corner of Deng Ziming's desk and raised his hand: "So it fell here, I'll beat you to death!"
He raised his hand and slapped him in the face.
With a "crash", a corner of Deng Ziming's table fell apart, and wood fell to the ground with a crash.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Deng, I didn't mean to do that. I just wanted to swat the mosquito to death, but I ended up breaking your table. So, I'll buy a new one as soon as I get home and have someone send it to you. I'm really sorry."
After saying this, Lin Yi shook his hands, deliberately letting Deng Ziming see that his hands were intact and not even red.
Looking at the broken wood on the ground, Deng Ziming narrowed his eyes and his expression became cold.
"Mr. Lin, you're too polite. It's just a table. I don't think you should be so calculating."
Deng Ziming had some thoughts in his mind as he could break such a solid table corner with just one palm.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Deng. Actually, when I just said I wanted to become business friends with Mr. Deng, I wasn't kidding. Think about it. Instead of a falling out and both sides getting hurt, why not make money together and live in harmony?"
Deng Ziming didn't say anything, but looked at Lin Yi with a smile on his face.
"I have an idea. We can sell our affordable products at your Meiyi store. You'll get 60% of the profits, and I'll get 40%. This is my greatest sincerity. If we have a pleasant cooperation in the future, I wouldn't mind having my senior beauticians come to your store regularly for guidance and training."
"This way, I can retain some of your customers. I'll refer clients who need small projects to you. You can then give me Meiyi vouchers or coupons to attract customers to your place. For more difficult projects, if Mr. Deng isn't completely confident, it's better to hand it over to Xiangyi, who will be more reliable."
After saying this, Lin Yi glanced at Deng Ziming.
He looked down at the ground, silent.
"Mr. Deng, please think carefully about this proposal. To be honest, Xiangyi doesn't really need to cooperate with anyone. We're very self-sufficient and survive well. I just don't want to wipe out my peers, so I think we can all make money together through harmony."
"You should also know that our Xiangyi products are simply not available anywhere else. If you are willing to cooperate, then Meiyi will be Xiangyi's first partner, and the profits it will bring you may be much greater than you imagined."
