Cheng Qinghuan was delighted. She was simple-minded and thought that if the other party gave up, they would win.
Cheng Haiyan was stunned. Didn't he want to argue with Xiang Chaojing? This wasn't his style. He always felt it wasn't that simple.
"What did you say?" Smith asked in disbelief.
"I said, I wish you a happy cooperation." Qin Xun repeated with a smile, "I will not accompany you anymore."
"Director Wu, we can go now."
"No, Mr. Xiang..." Director Wu was confused. What did Mr. Xiang mean? Was he really not going to fight for it anymore? Wouldn't all their previous efforts be in vain?
"Let's go, this project won't fail." Qin Xun comforted him, "Trust me."
Director Wu looked around, looking embarrassed. He had indeed been told to follow Mr. Xiang's opinion, but now...
"Qingyun, let's go." Qin Xun said to Su Qingyun in a gentle voice.
"Okay." Su Qingyun stood up obediently and prepared to follow him away. Director Wu gritted his teeth and had to follow.
The three of them were about to step out of the meeting room.
"Xiang!" Smith called out to Qin Xun, his face filled with displeasure, his earlier smug expression gone. "Are you sure you want to give up our cooperation?"
In fact, in his heart, the best partner is of course Xiang. Xin'an Company is strong and has the support of China, so it is the best choice. He just found the Cheng family to stimulate the other party in order to increase the profit margin a little bit and let Xiang Chaojing make concessions.
But he really didn't expect that Xiang Chaojing really didn't want to increase the salary at all and wanted to leave as soon as they disagreed. Smith suddenly panicked. If this cooperation was not achieved, he would definitely be punished by the company.
Qin Xun chuckled and turned around, "Mr. Smith, you gave up, not me."
"Besides, don't you already have a better partner?" Qin Xun glanced at Cheng Haiyan. Ever since Smith called Qin Xun, Cheng Haiyan's expression had changed.
He had already realized that the person Smith really wanted to cooperate with was Xiang Chaojing, and their Cheng family was just a pawn being used by him.
After realizing this, Cheng Haiyan's face became even uglier.
Smith didn't care about Cheng Haiyan's emotions. He looked at Qin Xun's fearless expression and suddenly realized something. "Xiang, do you have other partners besides us, Atari?"
He used a questioning tone, and there was a feeling of betrayal.
Su Qingyun found it funny. Wasn't he the one who stabbed them in the back first? Why was he questioning them now?
Qin Xun didn't say yes, nor did he say no, but simply said, "This is not a problem you need to worry about."
This answer was almost a tacit agreement in Smith's eyes. He couldn't understand who else Xiang Chaojing could cooperate with.
"Xiang, I dare say that, looking around the world, Atari's electronic products are at the forefront. Your Chinese electronic technology is so backward. I don't think anyone else is more qualified than Atari to win this cooperation."
The situation has now been reversed. Just now, Smith wanted to see Qin Xun and Cheng Haiyan compete so that he could benefit from it, but now, he is eager to prove their strength in order to achieve this cooperation.
Cheng Haiyan took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to curse. However, anyone who found themselves being taken for a walk for so long would not be able to calm down.
Qin Xun remained noncommittal about Smith's words. "Mr. Smith, Atari is one of them, not the only one."
"China's electronic technology is backward, but things are different now. It's you who have set your sights on China's vast market and want to make money. Therefore, we are the ones who have the right to choose, not you."
Qin Xun spoke slowly as he analyzed the interests involved to Smith. Su Qingyun translated Qin Xun's words in a cold voice, which made people feel a little cold.
Smith's expression changed slightly. What Qin Xun said was indeed correct. Nowadays, there are many people who are eyeing the fat piece of meat in the Chinese market. They, Atari, are just ahead, and there are many people catching up from behind. They have no choice, but China has many choices.
"Director Wu, let's go." Qin Xun said again, "All eggs should never be put in one basket."
It's true that Atari is their first choice, but there are other options. Moreover, judging from their attitude, Qin Xun doesn't think that this project will go on smoothly. If their requirements are met this time, what will happen next? People will become more and more demanding, and greed is endless.
He wanted to let these capitalists know that if they wanted to make money from the Chinese people in this land, they had to play by their rules. If they were dragons, they had to coil themselves up, and if they were tigers, they had to lie down.
Director Wu also came back to his senses, calmed down, and without even looking at Smith, prepared to leave with Qin Xun.
As the three of them were about to leave, Su Qingyun suddenly stopped and turned to Smith, saying, "You're right. China's technology is indeed backward, but given time, our changes and progress will astound you and the countless others who look down on us."
"Because we have a saying in China: 'come from behind and win.'"
Su Qingyun said the last four words in fluent Chinese, and then she walked out.
Smith's face turned green and he looked at Cheng Qinghuan blankly for a moment, "What did she mean by that word just now?"
Cheng Qinghuan looked a little embarrassed, hesitant and unable to speak.
"Cheng." Smith didn't delve into it. He adjusted his facial expression, forced a smile, and said to Cheng Haiyan, "Now we can have a good talk."
No matter what, he had to at least give an explanation to the company. Smith had no choice but to take Cheng Group back to get the job done.
He thought Cheng Haiyan would immediately agree happily, but Cheng Haiyan gave him a cold look and said, "No need, Mr. Smith."
"Cheng, what do you mean?" Smith had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Although our Cheng Group may not be as large and powerful as your Atari, we don't want to be someone else's second choice, let alone the one who settles for second."
After being exploited like this, Cheng Haiyan wanted to reconsider this cooperation, and he also had a new idea.
Smith was stunned. "But didn't we just agree on this?"
"Agreed?" Cheng Haiyan smiled in an ambiguous manner. "Mr. Smith, you just said that everything is subject to change before it is confirmed. This statement is very correct."
Smith opened his mouth, never expecting that he would block his mouth with his own words.
"Qinghuan, let's go."
He asked his sister to leave, then walked out of the meeting room anxiously with big strides. Cheng Qinghuan followed him in a daze.
Smith stood there, completely unable to understand how this sure-fire cooperation could have fallen through and turned out like this.
After a long while, he cursed, with a look of regret on his face. He couldn't imagine what would happen to him if he returned to the company.
