Wilson and John were filled with helplessness and bitterness, secretly lamenting their predicament.
Looking back, things had gone smoothly for them with Li Chaoyang. They held absolute control and could manipulate everything at will. Not only that, they also reaped considerable benefits, happily believing that this good fortune would continue indefinitely.
However, when they confidently entered Xiangcheng County and met Mo Yuan, everything changed drastically. They never expected to be met with such a hostile response from Mo Yuan, and the negotiations immediately stalled for two whole days.
Mo Yuan bluntly stated that he could terminate the cooperation at any time, leaving the two feeling helpless.
Ultimately, they had no choice but to compromise, as they knew nothing about Mo Yuan's true strength. Looking back now, they suddenly realized that Mo Yuan had been deliberately deceiving them from the beginning, but they had foolishly fallen for it.
This mistake put them at a disadvantage in subsequent negotiations, forcing them to make concessions step by step. Now, despite showing their utmost sincerity, they have been met with Mo Yuan's ruthless disdain, leaving them feeling deeply humiliated and as if they had suffered a great disgrace.
"Mr. Mo, I think there is no need to continue negotiations. If you never intended to cooperate with us in the first place, there is no need to play games with us in this way. It is a complete waste of everyone's time."
I now advise you to immediately cease construction, as continuing will only lead to further unnecessary losses. We will report your actions truthfully to headquarters.
Although we don't want to terminate the cooperation, we really can't see your sincerity. Mr. Li, let's go back to your place; after all, we've already reached an agreement!
After speaking, the two prepared to leave with the translator. However, Mo Yuan made no move, simply watching them calmly. Li Chaoyang, on the other hand, seemed somewhat anxious; he couldn't help but stand up. Over the past few days, he had established a good relationship with Mo Yuan and had developed a fondness for the young man. But now, seeing the negotiations on the verge of breaking down, whether for business or personal reasons, he felt compelled to step forward and say a few words.
So he quickly stopped the two foreigners, preventing them from leaving, and gently persuaded them to stay, expressing his willingness to try his best to convince Mo Yuan. "Gentlemen, don't rush, let's talk this out. The factory is about to start construction, and terminating the cooperation now would be a huge loss for us!"
Wilson spread his hands helplessly. "Li, as you can see, this wasn't our fault. You'll have to bear all the losses yourselves. I'm sorry! It's not just your disrespect for our technology, but also the complete lack of sincerity from you. We're not prepared to tolerate this any longer!"
Li Chaoyang quickly explained, "Mr. Wilson, please believe us that we did not mean any disrespect. We value this cooperation very much and simply hope to better understand and master your technology. Please give us a chance so that we can solve this problem together."
Wilson shook his head. "Lee, I understand your good intentions, but we've run out of patience. If you can't provide a satisfactory solution, we'll have to consider other options."
Li Chaoyang persisted, looking anxiously at Mo Yuan, "Mo Yuan, say something! The cooperation can't be terminated!"
Mo Yuan knew what he should say. He took a deep breath and slowly said, "Gentlemen, I have no intention of belittling or disrespecting you, otherwise we wouldn't be sitting here talking. The reason I'm willing to return to the negotiating table is because I sincerely hope to facilitate this cooperation. However, when I saw the cooperation proposal you just put forward, I have to frankly point out that, in my opinion, your so-called latest technology does indeed have many areas that need improvement and refinement."
These words were like a bomb, instantly igniting the emotions of Wilson and his companion. Their faces turned extremely ugly, their expressions twisted with anger, and they cursed incessantly in English.
This time, in order to regain the initiative in the negotiations and suppress Mo Yuan, they indeed offered the most advanced technology their company could provide. Although they anticipated that Mo Yuan might be dissatisfied with the price and eventually return to the previous cooperation plan, they had been led by the nose by Mo Yuan all along, and they were eager to take this opportunity to vent their anger.
However, to their utter surprise, Mo Yuan mercilessly belittled their proud technology, making them feel deeply insulted.
"Mo, you've gone too far! You have to give us a reasonable explanation!" Wilson shouted furiously, his eyes blazing with rage.
Seeing the other person's reaction, Mo Yuan couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. He knew, of course, that the other person's self-esteem had been greatly insulted, and that they felt they were being completely unreasonable. But this was precisely what Mo Yuan had done on purpose; his aim was to cloud the other person's judgment.
So, Mo Yuan calmly said, "Here's what happened. Because of our cooperation this time, I've learned a bit about the relevant knowledge, and coincidentally, there's an expert in the relevant field in our village."
He briefed me on the current international technological situation and shared some of his own research findings from his spare time. He confidently asserted that domestic technology is actually not inferior.
At first, because I didn't know anything about this, I thought he was just joking and didn't take it seriously. However, after seeing your so-called latest technology, if the parameters you provided are correct, then it is indeed inferior to the results of the expert I know.
