Previously, Li Chaoyang had suffered a lot of mistreatment from John and Wilson, two foreigners, because they were very arrogant because they relied on their unique technology and were the partners that China had to seek.
The higher-ups attached great importance to this factory construction project. When the task was assigned to Li Chaoyang, he naturally could not be careless in the slightest. This gave the two foreigners an opportunity to take advantage of the situation, and they often made unreasonable demands.
However, in order to ensure the smooth completion of the cooperation, Li Chaoyang chose to swallow his anger. After all, he was not as bold as Mo Yuan. Firstly, he was not in charge of the entire incident, and secondly, even if he could make the decision, he didn't have the guts to take the risk.
If this matter is messed up, the consequences will be far beyond what a junior section chief like him can bear.
In fact, he had also had doubts, just like Mo Yuan, but he didn't dare to try it easily. So, although he was initially puzzled by Mo Yuan's boldness, upon reflection, he still admired him very much.
Now it turns out they won their gamble, and Li Chaoyang is overjoyed.
"Comrade Mo Yuan, you're really something! I'm impressed! Just as you predicted, these past two days I've been spending time eating, drinking, and having fun with them, without mentioning the factory construction negotiations at all. I've been secretly observing them, and they don't seem to be in the mood to relax at all. They're all frowning in private. Clearly, they also value this cooperation. This time, we've gained some initiative. Now, we—oh, no, you can test their bottom line!" Li Chaoyang reported excitedly to Mo Yuan, his eyes gleaming with joy.
Mo Yuan smiled and replied, "Haha, Director Li, I was just guessing based on some ideas, and I didn't expect to be right. However, we can't let our guard down and must remain vigilant."
Li Chaoyang nodded repeatedly in agreement, then said with emotion, "Yes, Comrade Mo Yuan, this experience has truly benefited me greatly. We must pay close attention to the other side's movements in order to better grasp the situation."
Mo Yuan patted Li Chaoyang on the shoulder and encouraged him, "That's right, Director Li, we must keep learning and improving. This success is just the beginning; there are many more challenges waiting for us."
After chatting for a while, Mo Yuan returned to the main topic and asked, "Director Li, did those two foreigners have any specific explanation?"
Li Chaoyang replied seriously, "They still hope you can go back and renegotiate, but they haven't revealed the specific conditions."
Mo Yuan nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, I understand. Thank you for the information, Director Li."
Li Chaoyang smiled and said, "You're welcome, Comrade Mo Yuan. It's all I should do. We are a team, and only by working together can we achieve greater success."
Mo Yuan looked at Li Chaoyang with gratitude, secretly resolving to make the most of this opportunity and strive to secure more favorable conditions for the factory. At the same time, he knew that this negotiation was not merely a contest of commercial interests, but also a battle of wits and strategies. Only through thorough preparation could he gain the upper hand at the negotiating table.
Li Chaoyang was so concerned about this matter because he had his own plans.
Although they had already reached an agreement with the foreigners that their presence would only be to assist them, if Mo Yuan could successfully win the negotiations and take the initiative, they would naturally be able to share in any benefits that might arise.
This is why Li Chaoyang was so proactive. After all, no one gets up early without a reason; everyone acts for their own benefit. Mo Yuan was somewhat aware of this, but didn't say much.
It's human nature to strive for one's own maximum benefit, and that's understandable. However, regardless of the circumstances, he and Li Chaoyang share common interests and are on the same side.
Therefore, a tacit understanding was formed between the two. Although Mo Yuan did not personally appear and was accompanied by Li Chaoyang throughout the process, the two foreigners reported their every move to Mo Yuan at any time.
Afterwards, the two discussed a strategy, and then Li Chaoyang went back to tell Wilson and John that, through his tireless efforts, Mo Yuan finally agreed to resume negotiations.
Hearing this, the two foreigners exchanged a glance and breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, they almost messed things up. They never expected to encounter such a hothead as Mo Yuan. It seems they can't be as accommodating as they were with Li Chaoyang before. They should be a little more restrained with young people who don't play by the rules. There's no need to be too demanding about the details. Anyway, once they receive the money, they won't care anymore and will let them do as they please!
The two men stepped forward, and after a translation, said, "Li, thank you for your help. Let's get back to the negotiating table as soon as possible!"
Finally, negotiations resumed. Wilson first made some insincere polite remarks, thanking Mo Yuan for coming, and then got straight to the point, saying that the specifications for building the factory were not actually that strict and could be negotiated.
Hearing this, Mo Yuan sneered inwardly. Sure enough, these people just wanted to make money. As long as there was money to be made, they would agree to anything.
He glanced at Li Chaoyang beside him, signaling him to be quiet, then looked at Wilson and said, "In that case, let's get straight to the point. I have some ideas about the specifications for the factory, and I hope you can consider them."
First, the factory location has already been decided and will not be changed arbitrarily. Second, the factory construction must adhere to standards; you can inform us of this in advance, and we will try our best to meet them to ensure production safety and quality. Finally, once the standards are set, you cannot change them frequently; otherwise, we cannot demolish and rebuild the factory buildings we have already constructed. Once we have agreed on these points, we can begin construction of the factory buildings first, and then discuss other specific details gradually!
