Paul really loves hot pot. From the very first day he ate it, he was thinking about collaborating with Song Lili.
However, his proposal was not approved domestically, and after several unsuccessful attempts, Paul decided to do it himself.
Anyway, he had the ability and the funds, so he could collaborate with Song Lili personally. And that's how things turned out the way they are now.
"I will arrange for someone to go and train you later," Song Lili said with a smile, naturally happy.
How could I not be happy if I can make money?
Even if it doesn't succeed, she won't lose anything, right? She doesn't need to invest any money and can still get dividends, so why not?
On her side, it can be considered a collaboration.
As for the others, there was still no good news. Song Lili continued to look at the documents in her hand.
The previous ones were all fine and were very normal collaborations, mainly covering basic necessities like food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Even if you signed them, you wouldn't lose out.
Song Lili was still wondering if she was overthinking things, and if the other party really was there to cooperate.
It wasn't until she saw a document, a collaboration about mining ore, that Song Lili had to believe it; she hadn't thought much of it at all.
Song Lili set the problematic documents aside and continued reviewing them, eventually selecting only two.
By the time she finished reading, the people in the conference room had almost finished their conversation! Some projects that both parties were interested in were almost ready to be signed.
Song Lili stood up and went over to Wang Daming and Daqing. "How did it go? Did you reach an agreement?"
"It's alright, but this requires translation, and the speed is a bit slow, the efficiency is very low, which is making me a little impatient," Wang Daming said, standing sideways next to Song Lili and looking at the people talking in the distance.
"I think it's alright. Although we didn't get the ideal terms, we can still cooperate."
Encouraged by Song Lili, the two bravely took a step forward and began negotiating with the other party.
With the help of the translator, the final outcome of the discussion was acceptable.
"Did they say they wanted to sign a contract?" Song Lili asked casually, staring at her fingers.
Both of them shook their heads at the same time, "Not yet, they said they still need to think about it."
"Then I suggest you look for other people, this one might not be able to give you a return."
"What do you mean?" Wang Daming was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Song Lili to say such a thing.
“What I mean is, this collaboration is 50% unlikely; you only have a 50% chance,” Song Lili slowly revealed her thoughts.
"How could that be? Didn't you say you thought it was great? You also said that cooperating with us would be very pleasant, so how could it be impossible?" Daqing asked in disbelief.
"You two are far too naive. You believe everything people say?"
"Sometimes, what they say is all polite talk. Do you understand what polite talk means? It's just a facade, something that only looks good on the surface."
"When a businessman speaks, believe three parts of what he says, but keep three parts to yourself. Only by carefully considering the rest can you truly understand what he means."
"If someone doesn't make a decision right away, it means they're still hesitating, which means there are some conditions they're not satisfied with."
"So he remained silent, and silence sometimes means rejection, it means that this matter is impossible."
"You two still need to learn properly."
This is something everyone tacitly understands, but without someone to guide them, it takes time for them to realize it.
This was the first time these two had experienced something like this. This situation was quite normal, according to Song Lili.
"Huh? It can be like this?" Daqing felt he had learned something new; he hadn't expected there to be so many twists and turns involved.
"Is that so?" Wang Daming was more interesting; he looked as if he had suddenly realized something.
He said it himself, something seemed off earlier. Now he finally understands what was strange.
It turned out that their attitude seemed to be shirking responsibility, or perhaps they were embarrassed.
So that's why you did that—because you weren't interested?
Wang Daming understood and sighed in agreement. There are too many twists and turns in doing business; one wrong move and you'll stumble.
It seems I need to be more careful and cautious in the future, and I also need to learn more.
That way, you won't stumble when you go out into the world.
Wang Daming was secretly relieved that Lili was by his side, able to analyze things for them and tell them about these matters.
Otherwise, the two of them might have missed other opportunities this time.
"Then let's hurry up and find other people. It would be best if we could reach a cooperation agreement," Daqing said.
"No rush. Today is only the first time. It's not like it'll be over today. There are still several days left. Take your time to think about it."
"Of course, it's not like there was no chance when you talked about it before. Maybe after considering it, they feel that some of the conditions are acceptable and they can cooperate with you."
"The final result will only be confirmed on the last day, so there's no need to rush now."
Everyone only understands the specifics today, so naturally we need time to consider it.
"Okay, let's go take another look." Wang Daming agreed. He immediately relaxed and said with a smile.
Daqing was no longer in a hurry. Standing beside the two of them, he said, "Let's take it slow. We need to have an optimistic attitude."
"Alright, I'm going to find Brother Qian. You two can have fun by yourselves."
Song Lili had other things to do. After she said all that, I believe the two of them understood what they needed to do.
Song Lili didn't go to find Qian Liulin immediately, just as she said. There's still time, no rush.
Instead, she contacted Huang Zhen and asked about his plans and whether he had any promising collaboration projects in mind.
After listening to Huang Zhen's plan and intentions, Song Lili left with peace of mind.
Huang Zhen was a very experienced old man, so he understood many things very well, and Song Lili felt inferior to him.
Therefore, she was at ease, not afraid that Huang Zhen would end up like Wang Daming and the other two, and she didn't need to keep an eye on them. Her only concern was that the two of them might make a mistake.
After all this was done, Song Lili went to find Qian Liulin.
Qian Liulin was in another room in the hotel. He did not go into the conference room, as it was not his place.
His job is simply to invite everyone over; whether it's successful depends on them.
His job doesn't involve getting these people to cooperate; that's a matter between businessmen, and it's not his place to get involved.
So, Qian Liulin only hosted the event at the very beginning; the rest of the time, he left.
"You're quite good at finding peace and quiet by yourself here?" Song Lili said to Qian Liulin, somewhat teasingly.
Qian Liulin was sitting on the sofa in a single room, reading a book. He looked so relaxed and carefree that Song Lili had a fleeting urge to beat him up.
