Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2780: Chapter 1969: He Is My Friend

In any business negotiation, being able to overwhelm the other party with just words relies not on glib talk or charisma, but on a combination of strength and circumstances.

Although Bai Xiaosheng seems young, he has navigated the complexities of the Zhenbei Group for many years, reaching where he is today through countless business negotiations, surpassing anyone present.

With his substantial resources and ability to leverage situations, he immediately pushed the spice industry giants present to their limits.

Even Leifer couldn’t help but be amazed; he hadn’t underestimated Bai Xiaosheng, yet was still astounded by his decisiveness.

According to Bai Xiaosheng, the spice giants present had no other option.

Auston among them, along with the other five spice giants, exchanged complex glances.

Bai Xiaosheng noticed this, smiled, and turned to walk towards the door.

He had promised to give these people time and space to discuss and exchange ideas, and he intended to honor that.

However, just as Bai Xiaosheng’s hand rested on the door handle, a hurried voice sounded from behind, ”Mr. Bai Xiaosheng, I’m willing to collaborate with you!”

The speaker was none other than Mr. Auston.

In this matter, he was more decisive and proactive than the others.

In fact, Auston’s family had suffered the most significant losses among the five spice merchants, with the lowest inventory, unable to endure much turmoil.

Auston had an acute and pragmatic understanding of the situation, so he was the first to agree to Bai Xiaosheng’s cooperation proposal.

The remaining spice merchants, in an instant, showed a hint of resentment in their eyes, blaming Auston for agreeing too quickly, thinking it would have been better to negotiate for more bargaining power...

But Auston had already spoken, his attitude firm, leaving them with no recourse.

Bai Xiaosheng turned back, smiled at Auston, and proactively extended his hand, ”Mr. Auston, once the goods arrive, I’ll ensure your counters are well-stocked first.”

Auston was delighted to hear this and hurried forward to shake Bai Xiaosheng’s hand, ”It’s a pleasure to work with you!”

With this opening move by Auston and Bai Xiaosheng’s promise, the others finally couldn’t hold out.

In a group, once a crack is made, it can rapidly escalate like a dam breaking, becoming unmanageable.

A female spice merchant also approached, smiling, ”Mr. Bai Xiaosheng, I also wish to collaborate with you. Coincidentally, our family’s five-year plan aims to expand into Europe and the U.S., pushing global reach. It is my honor to work with you toward this.”

Bai Xiaosheng smiled and shook her hand, ”The honor is mine as well.”

With two of the five spice giants having switched sides, and considering Bai Xiaosheng’s financial power and resources, the remaining three felt it meaningless to persist.

Otherwise, what? Compete against Bai Xiaosheng and his allies?

Don’t joke; that would be like playing with their family’s future.

Suddenly, the three others also joined with smiles, expressing their willingness to work with Bai Xiaosheng.

Leifer sighed quietly to himself.

Seeing how quickly everyone changed sides left him feeling somewhat frustrated and helpless.

Though he was previously the spokesperson for everyone, now he feared all would look to Bai Xiaosheng for leadership, leaving no spotlight for him.

What kind of partner did I find, even my position was taken...

No matter how troubled Leifer was inside, he still wore a smile and went over to congratulate Bai Xiaosheng.

”Since everyone is keen on working together, why don’t we sit down and have a good discussion?” Bai Xiaosheng proposed to the group.

No one objected, of course.

Then, Bai Xiaosheng addressed Leifer in public, ”Even if I set up a company here to collaborate, I can’t stay here long-term. Moving forward, we will rely heavily on Mr. Leifer’s patronage. I suggest we organize a United Chamber of Commerce, with Mr. Leifer as the natural choice for president.”

Leifer was taken aback by this.

He truly did not expect that this young man would not cling to fame, instead pushing him to the forefront.

Bai Xiaosheng believed that if Leifer could represent the major spice merchant giants and unite the small and medium-sized spice merchants, his network was strong enough, and giving him a symbolic title and honor was no big deal.

It could also safeguard his own business interests; why not?

Other spice giants nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

”Mr. Bai’s proposal is excellent. We should indeed form a United Chamber of Commerce; there’s strength in unity.”

”I support Mr. Leifer as the first president and suggest tilting the cooperation towards him, as he has helped us a lot.”

”Indeed, everyone has witnessed Mr. Leifer’s accomplishments in finding Mr. Bai as a partner.”

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng giving him fame and everyone’s consistent support, as well as the tilt in cooperation, Leifer’s mood instantly improved.

”You all overpraise me. Actually, we can take our time to discuss who should be the president,” Leifer said, smiling broadly.

Seeing this, Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but chuckle internally.

It seems that Mr. Leifer is not only a realist but also quite fond of fame.

Well, fame means more respect, more opportunities, a stronger network, which can ultimately translate into benefits...

Everyone unanimously agreed and immediately sat down to discuss the collaboration in depth.

Outside, in the hall.

Tieluoga was wandering around with a cocktail, intending to use this opportunity to expand his network.

With so many industry luminaries gathered, he couldn’t help but be dazzled.
