When William and his team arrived in the capital, they did not check into the hotel directly, either to find Ji Lengming or the others, or to inspect the branch.

Instead, he took a group of people to the office of the Chamber of Commerce of Country D in the capital.

William chatted with the chamber of commerce representative in China for more than an hour before coming out of the office.

At the right time, it was already dark.

The assistant asked William where he was going. William waved and informed the entourage, and they all rushed to the negotiation location.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the staff in the research center were getting off work one after another, but the complex was still brightly lit.

Fortunately, Professor Lu had made preparations in advance, otherwise William might have come over unexpectedly without notice, and Ji Lengming might have gotten into trouble with his hospitality.

The director of the research center welcomed William's team into the large conference room on the third floor.

As soon as the conference room door opened, I found that many people were already sitting at the negotiation table.

When Ji Lengming saw William coming, he quickly stood up to greet him.

"Welcome everyone, thank you for your hard work coming from afar!"

"Need a break?"

William waved his hand and said no.

"We're all about efficiency, let's get started!"

After saying that, he walked towards the other side of the negotiation table.

All parties took their seats.

William was undoubtedly the main talker. The assistant and recorder sitting next to him stood up and introduced the visiting MW team members to Ji Lengming and others.

From the business representative, to the technical representative, to the financial representative, to the legal representative... I gave everyone a brief career description in a quick and easy way.

After William finished all the introductions, they all looked at Ji Lengming.

Ji Lengming knew that it was his turn to introduce his negotiators.

But he said nothing.

William was very dissatisfied and said: "Why, Mr. Ji is so arrogant that he doesn't even want to give us an overview of your team members?"

In fact, when he saw a bunch of elderly men sitting around Ji Lengming, William already had thoughts of contempt.

He glanced at the seven people opposite him with contempt, sneering inwardly.

What can these old, weak and disabled soldiers do?

Ji Lengming also had a headache.

Professor Lu and others are not from their own company, and they are not negotiators at all, but they are sitting at the negotiating table... It is really difficult to explain their identities...

At this time, Professor Lu took the initiative to speak to resolve the embarrassment.

"My surname is Lu, what is my identity... It doesn't matter. You make your report, and let's listen to it!"

No matter the tone of his words or his actions, they all showed the majesty of a superior, making William feel for a moment that he was reporting work to his superiors.

William was even more annoyed and couldn't help but slap the table.

"You said it doesn't matter if your identity is not important?"

"There is an idiom in your country called 'clown', and I will not allow such people to appear on my negotiating table!"

"Also, please remember!"

"The company I work for is a global enterprise with a market value of 400 billion, and I am the CEO of this multinational enterprise in China!"

"You have to have a limit to your arrogance!"

Professor Lu and others looked at each other.

Their main job is to engage in scientific research, such as business negotiations, and they have not been involved in much.

Asking others to report on work is also a professional habit. After all, everyone is usually busy working on projects and leading students, and they always have to ask about the progress of experiments.

Now that the other party mentioned it, it was really not appropriate to order the president of a company like this.

Professor Lu was able to take it up and let it go. He realized that what he just said was not right and apologized immediately.

"I'm sorry, my words were inappropriate, and I apologize to you!"

He scratched his head and continued: "In order to prevent President William from misunderstanding that we are clowns, let me briefly introduce myself first!"

"My surname is Lu, and everyone usually calls me Professor Lu. I am currently retired."

"Sitting here, I mainly serve as a technical advisor to Mr. Ji Lengming."

After Professor Lu opened his mouth, other retired professors followed suit.

For a moment, Professor Zhang, Professor Wang, Professor Li, Professor Zhou... the voices came one after another.

William was a little dumbfounded.

He knew that Ji Lengming had found a survey team, but the team couldn't be all old professors, right? !

But then he thought about it, the professional title evaluation in China was very watery, and many of them were obtained through connections.

Maybe this group of people only have seniority, and their actual usefulness may not even be that of a researcher.

Ji Lengming's voice interrupted William's thoughts.

"Mr. William, you people from country D like to be straightforward, so I won't beat around the bush."

"Every contract I signed with your company has risk items, which also shows that when encountering risk items, we have the right to stop the project or even terminate the cooperation."

"Now, I believe that cooperation with your company is very risky and not conducive to our economic interests."

"Therefore, terminating cooperation is in the best interest of both you and me."

Hearing the news on the phone was completely different from hearing it in person.

William's brain buzzed.

Immediately he felt very funny again, and it was this sense of humor that made him calm down quickly.

He asked in a questioning tone: "Mr. Ji, do you know what you are doing?"

"You are shutting out the world's best companies that engage in scientific and technological engineering services that integrate design and construction!"

"We have an absolute leading position in high-end cleaning projects. Without us, you will be unable to move forward. I advise you to face this fact!"

William dares to say such things because MW has a near-monopoly position in the field of clean engineering.

If you don’t choose MW, there is no other company to choose from.

He believed that the reason Ji Lengming was quarreling with him was just to gain more profit chips and save unnecessary expenses.

Just like a couple, when something happens, they always threaten divorce.

Just for fun.

Ji Lengming said calmly: "Thank you, Mr. William, for your concern, but I am very clear-headed and made this decision after careful consideration."

"I reiterate once again that the cooperation is terminated."

"For other issues, leave it to the legal department, go to international arbitration, or resolve it privately and peacefully, I can do both."

William saw the seriousness of the other party's speech and the firmness in his eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Mr. Ji, you said that cooperation with MW is very risky. May I ask, what kind of perception led to your biased judgment?"

It was also out of a desire to redeem something.

William even said more eloquently: "Mr. Ji, are you sure you are awake?"

His eyes passed over the old professors one by one.

"Instead of thinking being assimilated by the elderly, making them slow and rigid, backward and stupid, hasn't your country's historical lesson of 'being behind the times means being beaten' awakened you?"

These words caused Professor Lu to be greatly dissatisfied.

He didn't hesitate to speak harshly.

"Mr. William, respecting your opponent means respecting yourself!"
