Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2212: Chapter 1684: A Difficult Young Man to Deal With! (Part 2)

Bai Xiaosheng kept explaining and evading, going around in circles, clearly still feeling that the cooperation was a loss.

Why can’t he just be direct and straightforward about the terms of cooperation?

Caroline found it unbearable to see Bai Xiaosheng being so ”soft,” even feeling a slight disdain for him, but outwardly she maintained her patience and nodded, ”That’s really difficult, it was my oversight.”

Caroline continued, ”In that case, we could lower our conditions. If all the terms we proposed in this cooperation document are ten, how much does Mr. Bai think we should reduce?”

Caroline had a lot going on today, and had only taken time off to talk to Bai Xiaosheng. She didn’t want to waste time on nonsense, so she asked for a straightforward response.

As long as the contract was signed and everything was on track, she could respond to Vice Chairman Morgan’s call to deal with this Bai Xiaosheng!

Now, seeing Bai Xiaosheng’s demeanor, Caroline fully agreed with Vice Chairman Morgan’s suggestion.

No matter whether Bai Xiaosheng had offended her intentionally or unintentionally, it was best to consider it his own fault!

Instead of wasting effort on analysis or speculation, wouldn’t it be better to be straightforward and decisive?

Caroline was a decisive and efficient woman, striving for decisiveness in both actions and deliberations!

Bold and resolute!

”This...” Seeing Caroline say this, Bai Xiaosheng smiled.

Earlier, while he had been rambling, his mind was actively analyzing the entire cooperation document at lightning speed.

A normal person couldn’t possibly do that.

After all, a human brain is singular, and multitasking has its limits.

However, with Red Lotus as an assistant, Bai Xiaosheng found it effortless to achieve this level.

”Miss Caroline, I was thinking, how about reducing your side’s conditions by forty percent?” Bai Xiaosheng probed carefully with Caroline.

After listening to Bai Xiaosheng’s long ”nonsense,” Caroline had thought he would cut the conditions by sixty or seventy percent and was prepared for it.

But Bai Xiaosheng only suggested reducing her conditions by forty percent, which was beyond her expectations.

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng wasn’t joking, Caroline’s expression softened, and she smiled, ”Mr. Bai, you truly know how to negotiate; reducing our conditions by forty percent at once is quite substantial!”

Caroline was pleasantly surprised inside, but outwardly she remained calm, perfectly concealing her emotions.

Then Caroline sighed, ”However, with what you mentioned earlier, the achievements in your Greater China Region today are truly not easy, and you’ve worked tirelessly. Ah, beneath great fame, who isn’t worn out? Seeing you work so hard, with your Greater China Region still having so much to revive and thrive, I’ll agree to your request and reduce the conditions by forty percent.”

Even with a forty percent reduction, as long as certain clauses were held, the North America Region would still profit greatly, and Caroline just wanted to finalize the signing swiftly.

Caroline’s words seemed to greatly move Bai Xiaosheng, ”Thank you, Miss Caroline, for your understanding.”

”On our side, we’ll offer you discounts in raw materials, agricultural products, fisheries, and retail sectors.” Bai Xiaosheng smiled, ”In return, we’ll also need some discounts, like in pharmaceuticals, tech products, and so on. Do you have any objections, Miss Caroline?”

Caroline’s smile froze at Bai Xiaosheng’s words.

Zhenbei Group in the Greater China Region, with over a hundred large enterprises in North America and countless small and medium-sized companies; negotiating cooperation also involves various industries, thus using industry-based terms for cooperation.

This Bai Xiaosheng! He completely broke down the favorable terms from the cooperation document she showed him into a sixty and forty percent allocation, allowing him to yield sixty percent while enjoying the remaining forty percent benefits.

At first glance, it seemed favorable to her side.

Bai Xiaosheng had agreed to their sixty percent conditions, and enjoying forty percent was understandable.

But!

In the Greater China Region, involving raw materials, agriculture, fisheries, and competitive retail sectors, Europe, South America, and Africa have plenty of alternative partners, and enjoying the preferences in North America doesn’t necessarily mean a big advantage!

The reason it’s pointless, Caroline had those included in the contract to ”cover” the core forty percent terms!

Earlier, when Bai Xiaosheng said the cooperation terms were too high, she didn’t react too strongly because she anticipated that Bai Xiaosheng wouldn’t fully accept them.

At that time, those concession parts would become those insignificant conditions.

But Caroline never expected that despite her calculations, Bai Xiaosheng wasn’t foolish either and reacted that way!

A clever strategy to play hard-to-get and caught her off guard!

Despite being pleased earlier that Bai Xiaosheng agreed to sixty percent of the conditions, now she felt deceived.

This guy is even more cunning than a monkey!

What truly shocked Caroline was Bai Xiaosheng’s incredible ability to remember the contents of the cooperation document so clearly after scanning through it once!

This is not something an ordinary person can do!

This Bai Xiaosheng turned out to have such a monstrous side!

Caroline stared intently at Bai Xiaosheng, who kept smiling at her, suddenly on high alert, raising her guard against him to a new height.

It seems that someone who has risen to the same level as her, or even been appointed as the second-in-command of the headquarters’ division, is truly not simple!

Caroline began to seriously regard Bai Xiaosheng as a worthy opponent!

”Miss Caroline, what do you think? If it’s possible, we can sign an intention now, and by today, we can reorganize a cooperation document to sign it for real today.” Bai Xiaosheng patted his chest, ”I know you’re busy with the election affairs and have no time to spare, you can rest assured, I’ll draft the cooperation document, ensuring it matches our current agreement perfectly!”

Bai Xiaosheng smiled and asked, ”What do you think?”

What do I think?

Of course not!

Caroline’s eyes turned a bit cold.

”If you think it isn’t suitable, I can further lower the conditions...” Bai Xiaosheng smiled as he willingly reduced the conditions by another ten percent.

Suddenly, in terms of benefits, they occupied three parts, and Caroline’s side took seven parts.

However, considering long-term implications, Bai Xiaosheng’s three-part benefit far exceeds Caroline’s seven parts.

Caroline listened with increasing frown lines.

She genuinely wanted to ask Bai Xiaosheng —

Do you think I’m stupid!

Or that I’m an idiot!

How could I agree to such terms?

”If I swap places with you, with me getting three and you getting seven, would you agree?” Caroline slowly spoke, expressing her dissatisfaction.

”Agree.” Bai Xiaosheng laughed readily, ”But what I initially mentioned must also be included in my seven parts; that point won’t change!”

When Bai Xiaosheng spoke these words, even with a smile and without a strong tone, it gave an impression of unwavering firmness.

Caroline looked calmly at Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng also smiled, looking at her.

The atmosphere suddenly became subtle and a bit heavy.

In Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes, Caroline didn’t see any intention of backing down.

He was determined not to suffer losses, only to gain!

Caroline concluded that no matter how much she tried, ultimately, she wouldn’t gain massive profit from this young man.

Perhaps, Vice Chairman Morgan was right, this man was with Lu Cheng’an and Li Yunyuan, inherently opposing them. To cooperate with the Greater China Region and make money with the Huaxia people, talking to him is out of the question!

Caroline suddenly smiled.

She raised her wrist to check the time, picked up the contract from the table, and placed it back in her bag.

Bai Xiaosheng silently observed her every move.

”It’s getting late, I think we’ll end our discussion here today, it’s time for me to leave.” Caroline smiled.

”I’ll walk you out, we’ll chat later.” Bai Xiaosheng smiled.

While speaking, the two of them got up and headed out one after the other.

At that moment, their smiles hid any underlying issues from the onlookers.

Perhaps, even on the day they clash directly in the future, they would still share such smiles.

This is business, this is how businessmen operate.
