Elmi has no desire to see Lu Feng now. Nokia has begun to turn things around for the better, and it is expected that the European market will be fully opened up. Their technological foundation is about to be unleashed.
Elmi knew exactly what Lu Feng was thinking: he simply wanted to use sales channels to exchange for some technical cooperation from Nokia.
However, they had already secured Jiafeng Electronics' sales channels and signed the contract, and they didn't want to give anything else in return. Elmi was a bit troubled and picked up the phone to call her consultant.
A few minutes later, there was a knock on the office door, and a white woman in her forties, with a slightly robust build, walked in and said to Elmi, "Honey, what can I do for you?"
“Monica, as you know, we’re using Jiafeng Electronics’ sales channels here. This contract was obtained at a very low price. The reason we got this contract is because the CEO of this company likes me a lot, and on the other hand, he wants to cooperate with us in the field of research and development.” Elmi explained the situation and showed Monica the contract they had signed.
Monica, an American, had previously worked at headquarters. Her being sent here as Elmi's advisor demonstrates the importance placed on Elmi.
After reading the contract, Monica realized it was just a sycophant making concessions to express his affection. She turned to Elmi and said, "Elmi, do you know what your greatest ability is?"
"Appearance!"
"Wow, you have a good understanding of yourself. So, do you like him?" Monica asked.
"I wouldn't say that, but I could sense before that his patience with me was slowly wearing thin, and he started to become more pragmatic, especially after the pager promotion." Elmi spread her hands, looking somewhat helpless.
“Actually, you don’t need to worry at all. A person like him wouldn’t dare to do anything to you because he has greed in his heart. He might test you by getting angry, but as soon as you get really angry, he will start to be afraid, afraid of losing you completely.” Monica leaned back in her chair and said, “Let me tell you, when I was young, I also had many suitors. Sometimes I needed some tricks to keep them running around.”
"So what do you mean?" Elmi already knew what was going on.
“Show your arrogance! The more beautiful a woman is, the more she should display her superiority. Only then will men frantically submit to you. Conversely, the more humble you are, the less they care about you!” Monica raised an eyebrow and said, “Men are all dogs; they need to be trained!”
Elmi thought for a moment, nodded as if she understood something, picked up the phone on the table and called Lu Feng.
After the call connected, he said, "Mr. Lu, it's been a long time."
Lu Feng sat in his office, leaning back in his chair, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "President Lu? I've been busy lately, has our relationship become so distant?"
"That's not true. I've been very busy lately. I just got back from headquarters a while ago." Elmi said into the phone, "Things are going well here. My position at headquarters has also improved. I'm now the CEO of Greater China. Cai Tianlun and the others wanted to invite me to dinner a while ago, but I declined."
Monica sat across from her listening and said in a low voice, "Mention Wall Street, and the private parties you attend with celebrities and stuff."
“He’s really busy, always flying around, spending a lot of time on Wall Street, attending high-end private dinners with people like Gates, Soros, and even some very powerful leaders. You know, the leaders there are all willing to associate with these businessmen,” Elmy boasted.
Lu Feng was a little unhappy after hearing her words. She was bragging about herself. If it were an ordinary man, he would feel that he was not on the same level as her and that he was not worthy of her.
Lu Feng is different. Even when he was broke, let alone now that he's rich, he wouldn't fall for her act.
"Really? Go to fewer of those useless banquets. They used to send me messages all the time, but I never had time to go. By the way, the Ruixin Laboratory that I told you about before has now officially completed the procedures. My idea is still to cooperate with you." Lu Feng mentioned the laboratory very directly.
"This matter is still under discussion at headquarters. It mainly depends on your sincerity. Nokia is not the same Nokia it used to be. Don't underestimate the changes that have taken place in just over two months." Elmi looked at Monica across from her, who was whispering to her, trying to put Lu Feng down.
"No matter what, we are an international company, while Jiafeng Electronics is just a mainland company. I don't want to say it like this, but there is indeed a difference in this regard. Although I like you very much, I can't make that decision for you." Elmi's voice carried a hint of arrogance, as if the words "international company" made her worth even more.
"If all else fails, how about we meet and talk?"
Monica waved to signal her to hang up, and Elmi said, "I have something to do. If you want to meet, there's a dinner hosted by the Communications Association the day after tomorrow. Let's meet there. Bye."
After Elmi finished speaking, she hung up the phone and asked Monica, "How did it go?"
“Very good, this matter needs to be kept in suspense. Let me tell you, you can’t let him despair, but you can’t let him get it right away either. Suppress him when necessary, and give him a sweet treat when necessary. Make him bleed a little more in the tug-of-war, and at the same time, you can buy some time. The headquarters’ idea is that collaborative research and development is not impossible, but we need to show more ‘sincerity’ here.” Monica obviously had a lot of experience in how to get more profit in business negotiations.
