Li Chaoyang feigned helplessness and followed suit, spreading his hands in the same manner.
He said helplessly, "Gentlemen, I have no choice. This Mo Yuan is different from ordinary people. He's young but arrogant, and I've heard he has some kind of background. Otherwise, such a big matter wouldn't be entrusted to such a young man."
To be honest, I went out and tried to persuade him for a while, but he didn't care. We should have known better than to come; it was a wasted trip. Well then, we've already had a long and tiring journey here.
Although this place is a bit poor, it's at least beautiful with clear waters and lush mountains. I'll show you both around for a few days, just to relax and rest. After that, we'll go back. Anyway, the cooperation agreement is already finalized, so we won't bother with them here anymore. We can focus on building our factory here!
Upon hearing this, the translator translated it into English for the two foreigners. After listening, the two looked at each other and gave a wry smile.
One of them said, "Mr. Li, we came here to inspect your factory. As long as it's built according to our requirements, the cooperation can be completed smoothly. But this situation has arisen before we've even started discussing anything. Wouldn't it be better to go back now?"
Another person chimed in, "Yes, Mr. Li, we hope to resolve this issue as soon as possible, otherwise it will affect our plans. Although the other party's attitude was poor, as you said, he is a young man and may not be very experienced. You should go back and have a good talk with him. Actually, we can still continue to negotiate!"
At this moment, both of them wore bitter expressions, and their attitudes were noticeably more gentle than before. Indeed, as Mo Yuan had said, their company attached great importance to this collaboration.
The chairman firmly believes that this cooperation will unveil the mystery of this ancient Eastern country, deepen our understanding of its unique culture and vast market, and lay a solid foundation for broader cooperation in the future.
Therefore, they were determined to secure this cooperation. However, when they set foot on this land as negotiators, they were surprised to find that they knew nothing about certain technologies and related matters, leaving them in a completely passive position.
This situation gradually fostered their arrogance, and coupled with their habit of taking advantage of opportunities, they began to become restless and frequently tried to take advantage of Li Chaoyang and others.
But this time, they never expected to encounter such a formidable opponent. Despite their fear, they dared not back down easily, knowing they could not afford to offend this partner from the mysterious ancient Eastern country.
As Mo Yuan said, they would not turn down money, and they would not be able to bear the consequences if their actions caused the cooperation to fail.
Li Chaoyang shrugged, looking helpless, and said, "I understand your concerns, but I really can't help you. If you'd like, you can stay here for a few more days, and I can show you around and let you learn about the local culture and scenery. However, I still suggest you leave as soon as possible to avoid wasting more time." With that, he turned and left the room.
The two foreigners sat on the sofa, their faces grave, unsure how to handle the situation. They had initially been full of anticipation for this collaboration, but unexpectedly encountered such a thorny problem. Now, it seemed they could only wait for further news or consider other solutions.
Over the next two days, everything went as Li Chaoyang had predicted. He personally led the two foreign guests to enjoy the sights and food, but never mentioned anything about cooperation.
Instead, he kept emphasizing that he would send them back in a few days, and the cooperation would be terminated. At first, the two thought it was just a joke by Mo Yuan, but as time went on, Mo Yuan, the project manager, really did not show up again.
Anxiety gradually crept onto their faces. After several private conversations, the two decided to take the initiative to ease the tension.
Otherwise, if they encounter a stubborn person who causes the cooperation to fail, they will have difficulty explaining to the board of directors and may even face severe punishment.
After all, the company's senior management had high hopes for this collaboration. So, they approached Li Chaoyang, hoping he could reconnect with Mo Yuan and bring both sides back to the negotiating table.
When Li Chaoyang found Mo Yuan and, having made a huge profit, wanted to return to the negotiating table to discuss the details of the cooperation again, the two exchanged a glance and both revealed a victorious smile. Mo Yuan knew he had made the right bet! The other party was indeed unwilling to give up this big piece of the pie easily, and it was hard to say whether their previous actions were actually the work of the two of them!
Even Li Chaoyang was overjoyed. After all, he had been busy with the cooperation and had acted like a grandson in front of the two foreigners to satisfy their various unreasonable demands!
Seeing them get their comeuppance was quite satisfying!
