The daughter-in-law of a wealthy family does not lie flat

The next day, at 9:30 in the morning, Lu Qing and his group appeared on time in the conference room on the 22nd floor of Sky Headquarters.

There are several other companies shortlisted this time, one of the more competitive ones is a Japanese hydrogen power company, and the other is a US lithium battery company.

When Lu Qing entered the meeting room, the Japanese company had already arrived. Lu Qing knew that they would have a negotiation at 10 o'clock, and the Japanese always arrived early. The Japanese boss bowed to Lu Qing, but Lu Qing was still not used to the Japanese etiquette of bowing, so she just nodded in return.

Weisker was waiting in the conference room, with company executives sitting next to him, all of whom were familiar faces in magazines.

Because the technical proposal had been submitted and reviewed long ago, the process was very quick. The main topic of today's negotiation was the price.

The Technology Department quoted a price of US$2.8 million, and the budget it submitted was very detailed.

Alan Schultz, the CFO of Sky, a white male in his 50s, said condescendingly, "I've seen your offer. Isn't the profit listed a bit too high? The profits of several other companies are basically close to zero. They are all proud to cooperate with Sky. The publicity effect alone is worth it. Can you see if your Chinese company can lower the offer a bit? Chinese workers are so capable. You can make them more efficient and pay them less. You can also hire younger people."

Lu Qing and his team had made a plan before coming. There is indeed room for reduction, and the final profit concession can be around 2%, so the project is still worth doing.

But after hearing what the old white man said, Lu Qing changed her mind. She didn't have time to discuss it with everyone. She hoped in her heart that everyone could understand her.

"Mr. Schultz, it is universally recognized that Chinese workers are capable and hardworking, but they also have the right to live a happy life. We are amazed by your company's meticulous treatment of employees. We also want to provide employees with a better life in our own company, so we cannot reduce the salaries of employees any further."

Lu Qing adjusted her sitting position to make herself more comfortable. "As for the profit margin, we can't reduce it to zero. Of course, we are very willing to cooperate with your company. In addition to the fact that Sky Company is world-famous, the key is that the idea of ​​the future town is very consistent with us. We are all working hard to make the earth a better place for future generations. Without profit, a company cannot provide services for a long time without distraction, and it will definitely "earn" this profit in other ways. It's better to make money in an open way. What do you think?"

Schultz didn't expect this unknown Chinese woman to dare to refute him. He is a company veteran and he and Weisker are brothers in private. Who dares not to give him face? "In that case, can we doubt your company's sincerity?"

Lu Qing immediately replied, "There is a saying in ancient Chinese folk transactions, which is that it is not a good deal if you are the one who is chasing after others. I translate it to mean that when doing business, both parties must be satisfied and profitable, not just one party. Otherwise, it will not last long and be successful. We have come all the way from China, and all our plans have been revised again and again. I hope your company can see our sincerity!"

Huaisike didn't say a word the whole time, just looked at Lu Qing with an intriguing look. Even after they left the meeting room, Lu Qing didn't see any clues from Huaisike's expression.

Lu Qing and the others returned to the hotel to wait for news.

On the way, Lu Qing apologized to everyone, "Everyone has put a lot of effort into this plan, but I really hate Schultz's character. He looks down on the Chinese people! He is secretly slandering us."

Everyone expressed their understanding. "Boss Lin, those few words of yours are really powerful. Schultz's face changed. They are used to bullying the Chinese and think it is the old society! Even if we don't cooperate with them, we can't let them be so arrogant."

Ding Yingzhen said, "But I saw Weisker didn't say a word. I don't know what he was thinking."

Lu Qing was now relieved. "Think whatever you want. Let's go back to the hotel and have a good meal. We have free time in the afternoon and have fun! It's worth the trip if we have fun! Each person has a gift fund of 5,000 US dollars. We came here by private jet anyway, so we don't have to worry about overweight fines. Everyone can buy more gifts to bring back for your wives and children."

Everyone cheered when they heard it!

But Liu Xiaofei was still unwilling to give up, "Is it really hopeless? How about we just wait for news at the hotel?"

Lu Qing said, "That's not impossible. In this case, I can't run around, so I'll stay in the hotel. Everyone else goes out to play, and I'll ask the hotel to arrange a tour guide for everyone. But you must pay attention to safety! I'll send the news to the group as soon as there is news from the sky. The Japanese company's offer is much lower than ours, and the American company is a local company. We don't have an advantage either. It's good to come and learn from them. There is no success without failure! Don't think about it, having fun is the mission! Go back and work hard!"

After returning to the hotel, Lu Qing had lunch with everyone, and then everyone either rested or went out according to their own circumstances.

Lu Qing was still a little disappointed, not for anything else, but because she felt that the technicians had worked in vain and had occupied her father-in-law's private plane. But that's how business works, some work and some don't, and it's not just about hard work. Moreover, if Lu Qing endured Schultz's attitude, even if she made money, she would probably not be happy for many years to come.

It has been gloomy in California these days, with faint raindrops in the air. Lu Qing took a hot bath and prepared to have a good sleep.

I picked up my phone and replied to a few messages from Fu Yanheng. Just as I was about to lie down, a message came from my phone.

Lu Qing didn't recognize the number, and when she picked up the phone it was actually Weiske himself.

Still with the same interested attitude as in the morning, "Ms. Lin, I'm here to inform you that your company has been officially selected as a partner of the Future Town."

Lu Qing was a little bit unconvinced for a moment, "Let me check with you, was it 'Qingguo Qingcheng' that was selected?"

"Yes, that's why I called. Our company can prepare all the documents today. Is there any problem with signing the contract tomorrow?"

Lu Qing finally believed it, "No problem, we will be there on time tomorrow. Thank you for your company's trust!"

After hanging up the phone, Lu Qing laughed a few seconds later. This was really unexpected! How could this happen? Judging from the situation this morning, there should be no hope.

She picked up her phone and prepared to send a message to the group. Before she finished editing, everyone came knocking on the door. Lu Qing saw that her pajamas were quite conservative and suitable for meeting others, so she put on a cloak and opened the door to invite everyone in.

"Didn't you guys go out to play?"

Liu Xiaofei said excitedly, "After we finished lunch, we saw on the news that Mitsui had problems in Japan. It was revealed that the data was falsified and the safety factor of hydrogen batteries was not in place. Two cars exploded in Kyoto and Osaka, Japan. As soon as this happened, we knew that Mitsui was out! So we didn't dare to go far!"
