Chapter 671 Win-Win

To sum up, Malu got 100,000 in cash, 200,000 in compensation, the right to win in a tie, and the home advantage through tonight's negotiations.

He originally wanted to try again and set the time of the competition to one month later, so that there would be no suspense at all, but Luo Xiangshi has been studying Houde recently and knows the incredible growth rate of this school.

So he insisted on setting the time to next week no matter what.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the application for competition between schools must be made a week in advance, Luo Xiangshi even hoped that the competition could be held tomorrow, and he could transport the students by plane overnight.

The price of all this is that Houde will face the fourth-ranked Hero of the Ministry of Education next week.

Well, to be honest, this is also within Malu's expectations.

In fact, he would not be unable to accept it even if he faced the famous hero. The reason why he held on to the hidden hero at the beginning was just to show his attitude.

Negotiations are like this. The more you show that you care, the more likely you are to squeeze more benefits from the other party.

If Malu had said from the beginning that he wanted to fight the famous hero, not only would he have lost 300,000 yuan, but Luo Xiangshi would probably have wondered if there was a fraud.

On the other hand, although he had paid an extra 300,000 yuan and signed a series of unequal treaties, he looked very happy.

Because in Luo Xiangshi's view, which school would fight was undoubtedly the most important thing, and the rest were just details.

Of course, the famous hero was the best, but the hero was not bad either. This was the fourth-ranked school on the list of colleges and universities of the Ministry of Education. The students selected were the best young people in each province, and the worst qualification was Grade C, and they had to have strong connections at home.

If students from ordinary families wanted to join the hero, they had to start with Grade B qualifications.

At the same time, the group also spent a huge amount of money to hire famous teachers to teach them, provide them with sufficient training resources, formulate scientific training schedules, and regularly arrange for them to enter the disaster zone to accumulate practical experience.

If they can't win again, wouldn't it be a failure of modern education?

Therefore, when Malu finally gave in under the pressure of money, Luo Xiangshi remained calm on the surface, but he was cheering in his heart.

A mere 300,000 yuan was nothing compared to the value of that thing, not to mention that Houde would not get the 200,000 yuan compensation.

In other words, he only spent 100,000 yuan and made concessions on some minor conditions, which gave him the greatest advantage.

He was afraid that Malu would regret it after going back to think about it, so he wrote a bank draft for 100,000 yuan on the spot.

Malu got 100,000 yuan for free, and there were 200,000 yuan waiting for him, so he was also very happy.

In short, both sides felt that they had won the negotiation, and at the same time, in order to prevent the other party from seeing that they had won, they all chose to keep a straight face.

Seeing that the matter finally came to an end, the guests were relieved. To be honest, many people still felt unreal until now.

It was expected that Mingxia Group had a background, but Houde had been declining for more than one or two years.

As locals of Pingcheng, no one knows better than them how badly this unique Fushi School has been doing in recent years.

The Cao brothers and sisters still have some connections, which are basically supported by graduates of the same class or old alumni. Some of these people are in business, some in politics, and some are doing well, but at most they can only reach the municipal bureau.

There is no one above them, otherwise they would not have fallen into the previous predicament.

But this time, a deputy commander and a provincial governor came forward to support Houde, which really surprised all the guests. From then on, they dared not underestimate Houde again.

After the dinner, many people took the initiative to come over and say hello to Malu.

No matter who wins or loses the bet between Malu and Luo Xiangshi, at least after this night, Houde has gained a firm foothold in Pingcheng.

Even Hou Chengyi, who had embarrassed Houde before, took the initiative to come over to apologize, and his attitude changed 180 degrees.

He patted his chest and said that the Municipal Education Bureau would also increase its support for local schools in the future and increase financial allocations for Houde, and said that a meeting would be held tonight to study it.

Afterwards, Director Hou also put his arm around Principal Ma's shoulders intimately, saying that the two could call each other brothers in the future.

Ma Lu looked at Hou Chengyi, who was almost 70 years old, and was a little impressed.

But as an official, face is the least important thing.

Considering that everyone was in Pingcheng and would see each other sooner or later, Ma Lu also dealt with them a little. Seeing that there were still many people waiting to get close to him, Ma Lu directly pulled Lu Yingying and Cao Youyi.

Let them come to socialize with these people, as for Ma Lu himself, he took the opportunity to slip out of the hotel.

He went around the back door of the hotel and looked out at the street.

Soon a black car stopped in front of him, and then the door was opened, and a voice came from inside, "Get in."

Ma Lu got in the car after hearing the words. In addition to the driver, there was another familiar figure in the back seat.

"Thank you very much this time." Ma Lu said to Yuan Ruonan.

"You're welcome. You helped me with the recording equipment. This is my return of your favor."

Yuan Ruonan wore a men's suit today and looked very heroic.

"Uncle Li was promoted by my father. He is one of us. I have already said hello to him. If you have any problems in the future, you can go to him directly."

"What's the matter with Chen Meng?" Ma Lu asked curiously, "Why did she speak for me?"

"Chen Meng's fiancé, Deputy Commander Wei, is considered a member of the president, but he is a slippery person and can be fought for, but this matter has nothing to do with him.

"Luo Xiangshi learned that Chen Meng was going to Pingcheng to film, so he wanted to pay for her to come. However, Chen Meng and I happened to be friends. I found her before she arrived at the hotel and asked her to help you stand up. In essence, I Like Luo Xiangshi, they all just wanted to pull off Deputy Commander Wei's tiger skin.

"But to be honest, I didn't expect Governor Zheng to come. He and Deputy Commander Wei had a relationship, although both of them were just acting on occasion.

"But with this relationship, we can naturally ask my subordinates to send Chen Meng away on the grounds of protecting Chen Meng. Fortunately, I also have a backup plan, otherwise his intervention will be very detrimental to you."

Although Yuan Ruonan did not go to the hotel, he knew everything that happened there.

After a pause, she asked again, "By the way, what is in that box that actually attracted the Mingxia Group to spend so much money?"

"I don't know." Ma Lu spread his hands, "When I got it, there was a secret charm on the iron box. I didn't see what was actually inside, but Teacher Cao said that the iron box might be Ye Wang, the first principal of Houde. Shu left it."

Yuan Ruonan raised his eyebrows, "Why does Luo Xiangshi know what Ye Wangshu's relics are?"

"If the iron box is really left by Ye Wangshu, and Luo Xiangshi can open it, it means that he has found Ye Wangshu's descendants. The information about the box was probably told to him by Ye Wangshu's descendants." Malu speculated.
