Chapter 365: The Defeated General

? the next day.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Li Dong met this professional business negotiation team in the meeting room of Yuanfang Company.

A professional negotiating team will naturally have many people.

This negotiating team from Shanghai is composed of eight people, five men and three women.

The leader of the negotiating team is a bespectacled man in his forties, with a warm smile on his face all the time, which makes people feel friendly at first glance.

The other party introduced himself as Yu Bo, he is very handsome, a middle-aged handsome guy.

He is handsome and has a sunny smile. Except that he is a little older, Yu Bo can go to a university as a schoolgirl.

Of course, being older is also an advantage. Many young girls prefer mature men. If a handsome middle-aged guy like Yu Bo goes to college for a while, he is guaranteed to hook up with a few girls.

Li Dong had a good first impression of Bo, which is also the success of Yu Bo's team.

Although business negotiations are about interests and abilities, appearance is always the first impression.

If Yu Bochang is so ugly that people can't bear to look directly at him, no matter how powerful he is, he can only show half of his strength in the negotiation field at most.

If the opponent is a woman, maybe because you are too ugly, the things that could have been negotiated will be messed up in the end.

Li Dong and Yu Bo shook hands with each other, and then introduced the members of their team to each other.

From Li Dong's side were General Manager Sun Tao, Chief Financial Officer Liu Hongmei, Chairman Assistant Liu Qi, and Sun Tao's assistant Lin Na.

As for Shen Qian and her senior, they were not seen at the scene, and Li Dong didn't say much.

However, there was still some dissatisfaction in the depths of Li Dong's eyes. In the morning, Shen Qian called him. Her senior was free, and she could come over, but there was something to delay.

The delay was that from eight to ten o'clock, Yu Bo's team arrived, but the two of them were still missing.

Li Dong felt a little unhappy, if it wasn't for the fact that Shen Qian introduced him, Li Dong would have told him to leave!

No matter how awesome you are, no matter how powerful you are,

Li Dong can't ask for anything from you either.

Since you promised to come, not being late is the minimum respect for both parties. In this kind of formal occasion, you promised to come, but you are late again, and you are taking too much air.

Otherwise, don't promise at all. If you have something to do, you can do it yourself. Why make empty promises.

Of course, all of these are Li Dong's thoughts in his heart. Now that he is away, Li Dong will not show his face to Yu Bo.

After Li Dong introduced the people on his side, Yu Bo also introduced: "This is Wang Hao, who is in charge of the team's business work and is also our team's assistant chatter. This is..."

After Yu Bo's introduction, Li Dong also had a simple understanding of their team.

Eight people, Yu Bo is the leader of the team, and also the main negotiator during the negotiation, Wang Hao is the assistant negotiator.

Others are responsible for finance, law, and technology, and two behind-the-scenes staff are responsible for data collection and collation, and the last young woman is the team's translator.

Upon hearing the word translation, Li Dong couldn't help but glance at the young woman.

It's not that the other party is so beautiful, but Li Dong thinks it's unnecessary. It's been agreed before that it's a domestic negotiation, and everyone speaks Mandarin. It's unnecessary to get a translator at this time.

As if seeing Li Dong's suspicion, Yu Bo explained with a smile: "Mr. Li, don't think that domestic translation is not important. When negotiating, sometimes a small opportunity or even a sentence may change the whole situation. Zheng Rao is proficient in English, French, Japanese, German, and nine local languages ​​in China.

If the native language of our negotiating opponent is one of these, it will be easier to communicate at that time, and it may not necessarily change the whole situation. "

Hearing what Yu Bo said, Li Dong couldn't help but nodded.

There is some truth to this statement. If someone is talking about business with Li Dong, he will speak the local language of Dongping.

At the same time, the other party also had a competitor, and the conditions offered by the two were similar. Li Dong would most likely choose the one who spoke the local language of Dongping.

Because the other party has something in common with oneself, the first impression will definitely be stronger than the other party.

Thinking of this, Li Dong nodded and didn't criticize anymore.

He has a good impression of Bo's team. Any girl is an expert in language, and her strength doesn't look weak.

Of course, this is just the first impression. As for whether the other party has real materials or is just fluffing, we will naturally be able to tell if we talk more later.

After introducing each other, Li Dong greeted each other to sit down.

Just as the two parties sat down, the door of the meeting room was knocked. Through the glass door, everyone saw a man and a woman outside the door.

Li Dong frowned slightly, and motioned to Liu Qi.

Liu Qi hurriedly got up to open the door, and then Shen Qian and a handsome sunny guy in his thirties entered the meeting room.

Li Dong glanced at the man, feeling a little depressed. Does negotiator have to be a handsome guy?

Although he was a little dissatisfied with the other party's late arrival, Li Dong still got up and said, "President Shen, Mr. Yuan, please sit down."

After speaking, Li Dong introduced to Yu Bo and the others: "This is Ms. Shen Qian, the deputy general manager of Yuanfang, and this Mr. Yuan is..."

Before Li Dong could speak, Yu Bo smiled and said, "Mr. Li, you don't need to introduce us. Mr. Yuan Chengdao is our old friend. I didn't expect to meet Mr. Yuan at Mr. Li's place today. What a coincidence."

Shen Qian's senior, that is, Yuan Chengdao was also a little surprised, and nodded with a slight smile: "Mr. Yu, what a coincidence."

Seeing that Li Dong was a little surprised, Yu Bo squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Mr. Li may not be very clear. In March, Mr. Yuan and I were still sitting at the same negotiating table. Of course, Mr. Yuan was also my biggest competitor at that time." Opponent, my team and I have great admiration for Mr. Yuan's ability."

Yuan Chengdao also squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Mr. Yu praised the prize, but in the end I was defeated. How can a defeated general speak bravely."

Yu Bo said lightly: "This is the strength of a team. I admire Mr. Yuan's ability, but after all, it is a bit disadvantageous to go it alone. I am looking forward to Mr. Yuan's ability to form a team. I hope that I can meet with Mr. Yuan again at the negotiating table." fight."

Yuan Chengdao nodded and sat down without speaking.

Seeing this, Yu Bo also sat down. He came today to take up a case from afar, not to confront Yuan Chengdao.

What's more, Yuan Chengdao had been defeated by them before. Although Yu Bo felt that Yuan Chengdao was not weak, but the other party was too arrogant, and Yu Bo actually didn't think highly of him.

No matter whether it is domestic or foreign, there is no team to serve themselves, and it is typical to seek death by relying on personal strength to confront the entire team.

Although Yuan Chengdao is well-known in the field of business negotiations, he had the support of the team before, but later this guy came out on his own and expected to be the same as before. This is not pride.

With Yuan Chengdao's previous achievements and reputation, it is not too difficult to form a complete team.

Of course, Yu Bo didn't know if there were other reasons, and he didn't bother to ask.

It would be better for Yuan Chengdao not to form a team. The field of domestic business negotiations is not large, and there are only so many high-end elites. One less Yuan Chengdao will also have one less competitor in the future.

...

Yuan Chengdao and Yu Bo knew each other, Li Dong was really surprised.

But this is better, Li Dong is completely relieved now, it seems that Yu Bo's team is really not famous.

Last night, Shen Qian boasted that she was so awesome as a senior, and asked someone to inspect him, but Yuan Chengdao turned out to be Yu Bo's defeated opponent. Li Dong felt a little pain from this slap in the face.

Originally Yuan Chengdao came to help Li Dong, Li Dong would not be so narrow-minded.

But Yuan Chengdao was indeed too proud, so let's not talk about being late. When they arrived in the meeting room, Shen Qian and Li Dong nodded in greeting, but Yuan Chengdao didn't express anything.

Although Li Dong is not his boss, the other party was only invited to help.

But there should always be some politeness in some scenes. Li Dong is also a big boss after all, will he die if he loses face?

Instead of continuing to entangle in these trivial matters, Li Dong asked Liu Qi to send some information about this negotiation to Yu Bo and Shen Qian.

Yu Bo was not in a hurry to read the information, but asked, "Mr. Li, can you tell us about the object of this negotiation?"

If it weren't for the higher commission this time, Yu Bo might not necessarily take up the case from far away.

Previously, Li Dong gave too little information, he only said it was an acquisition case, and didn't say anything else, which made Yu Bo hesitate whether to accept it or not.

Later, Yuanfang offered a very generous offer, which made Yu Bo make up his mind to come to Pingchuan.

Of course, this does not mean that the two parties have reached an agreement. Yu Bo mainly came to understand the specific matters this time, and Li Dong also wanted to inspect them.

If both parties are satisfied, the cooperation can continue.

If the two parties cannot reach a consensus, the cooperation can only be cancelled.

Before coming here, Yu Bo had already signed a confidentiality agreement with Yuanfang, and Li Dong was not afraid of him leaking the news in advance.

Hearing Yu Bo's question, Li Dong said, "Yuanfang is engaged in the retail industry, and this acquisition is also about retail. I wonder how much Mr. Yu knows about Times Supermarket in Southern Jiangsu?"

As soon as Li Dong finished speaking, everyone in Yu Bo was shocked.

Even Yuan Chengdao, who looked lazy before, sat up straight, but Shen Qian hadn't told him about this before coming here.

Times Supermarket?

Others might not pay too much attention to it, but in the retail industry and the negotiation field, Times Supermarket is definitely not an unknown person.

Since March, large supermarkets or large companies in other industries have been in touch with Times one after another.

The negotiations on the acquisition are not starting now, but have been going on for several months.

The reason why the negotiation has not been reached until now is mainly due to the difficulty of the times and the competition of several large enterprises, which has dragged on until now.

It is almost June now, and the negotiations of some enterprises and times have reached the end.

At this time, Li Dong actually said that he wanted to talk to them about the acquisition era, how could the people in Yu Bo not be surprised.
