Chapter 29 A toast to you, we're all good friends.
Su Ming waited in the reception room for a short while before the door was pushed open again.
The man who entered was in his forties, followed by the girl from before.
As soon as the man entered, a broad smile spread across his face, and he even wiped the dust off his trouser legs with his hands.
He strode forward and said, "Oh, what's your name, boss? My surname is Wang, Wang Jianguo, and I'm the manager here."
As he spoke, he extended his hand with great enthusiasm, intending to give Su Ming a standard business handshake.
Su Ming sat there without moving, thinking to himself, "Touching a man's hand in broad daylight is just too perverted."
"We've already shaken hands, no need to shake hands again, let's get straight to the point." Su Ming waved his hand and got straight to the point.
"I'm also quite pressed for time."
Manager Wang's hand hovered in mid-air. He awkwardly withdrew it, then rubbed it a couple of times, but his smile remained unchanged.
"We understand, boss. We know what you need. How about we eat and talk?"
"I've already booked a deluxe private room at Yatingju. Let's eat and chat. After all, we have a lot of business to discuss, and there are many details I need to explain to you." Manager Wang said with a broad smile.
Following the principle of not hitting a smiling face, Su Ming rubbed his stomach, which was empty of lunch, and thought to himself, one should be polite.
So he nodded: "Alright, let's eat and chat then."
Upon hearing Su Ming's agreement, Manager Wang's smile widened, and he quickly stepped aside to open the door for Su Ming with utmost politeness.
"Boss, please come out first. I'll have Youming drive you there."
Only after Su Ming's figure reached the outer door did Manager Wang suddenly turn around and whisper to Li Youming:
"Youming, you drive the boss over first, in my car! I'll go and draft the contract, and then bring two bottles of good wine over."
Remember, you must keep the boss on your toes and prevent him from running away.
As he spoke, he handed the car keys from his pocket to Li Youming.
Li Youming took the car keys, nodded, and then jogged after them.
Manager Wang rushed back to his office, turned on his computer, and began drafting contracts at lightning speed.
He also made a WeChat call to the slightly chubby female colleague he had just spoken to.
The call was answered instantly, indicating that the female colleague was using her phone.
"Meizhen, quickly book a deluxe private room at Yatingju and then send the booking information to Youming."
The slightly plump female colleague on the other end of the phone paused for a moment before replying, "Ah? Okay... okay, Mr. Wang."
Then he suddenly realized something and asked, "Mr. Wang... Mr. Wang, that ordinary-looking young man from earlier, are we going to invite him to dinner?"
"Otherwise what?" Manager Wang sounded impatient on the phone. "How can you be so inconsiderate? They're a big client. Hurry up and place the order, don't delay important matters."
With a "beep," the phone hung up.
Meizhen took the phone and stood there stunned for several seconds.
She and her supervisor had a secret, ambiguous relationship, so her supervisor usually took extra care of her and would often slip small orders into her hands.
Therefore, she doesn't need to work as hard as others to attract customers.
But today, her supervisor actually lost his temper with her.
She bit her lip and cursed Li Youming's ancestors for eighteen generations.
"Pah! No man is any good, they just like young and pretty girls..." she thought to herself as she booked a room on her phone.
"What are you pretending to be? Dressed like a student, who knows if you're just putting on a show."
The more he thought about it, the more indignant he became, jabbing the screen hard with his finger: "The clothes he's wearing probably don't even cost 100 yuan in total. How much business could he possibly have? I think he's just here to scam people out of food and drinks."
The more she thought about it, the more convinced she was that her idea was correct; the other person was just pretending to be rich to scam people out of food and drinks.
After she booked the room, she sent the booking information to Li Youming.
Manager Wang sent him another WeChat message, which was a Word document.
"Meizhen, print out two copies of this contract, get them stamped at the administration office, and send them to me as soon as possible."
Meizhen opened the document and glanced at it casually, but her eyes fell on the amount column.
"1...100 million?"
Meizhen's eyes widened instantly; she couldn't believe it.
After rubbing her eyes hard, she looked at it again and confirmed that it was 100 million.
It really is 100 million!
"this?"
"This...this random young guy comes along and wants to do a million-dollar business?" Meizhen was incredulous, feeling like her worldview had been completely shattered.
In an instant, overwhelming regret overwhelmed him.
"How could that newcomer Li Youming have gotten such a huge advantage?" He was filled with regret, pinching his thigh hard until he grimaced in pain.
"Your mom's commission is equivalent to my annual salary!"
.
The private room was exquisitely and elegantly decorated. Su Ming sat in the main seat, Li Youming sat reservedly to his left, while Manager Wang sat on his right with a ruddy complexion.
Su Ming was surrounded by the two men, as if he were an emperor ascending the throne.
"Come on, Boss Su, let's have a drink!" Manager Wang raised his glass, extremely enthusiastic.
It was as if Su Ming was his long-lost younger brother.
"Boss Su is truly young and promising. He has such great courage at such a young age, placing a million-dollar order right away."
After a few drinks, Manager Wang became very talkative, pulling Li Youming along to toast Su Ming repeatedly. As the alcohol took effect, he became even more uninhibited.
"Boss Su, our cooperation is a perfect match!" Manager Wang said with a radiant face and a thick lisp, "To be honest, this order of yours..."
According to market prices, it was originally 200 million a year, but I've already negotiated it down to 100 million for you, bro. Pretty generous, right?
Su Ming held his wine glass, a faint smile on his face, and activated his level 2 negotiation skill.
"That's really straightforward, bro." Su Ming took a sip of wine, his eyes clear.
"I don't know how to thank you enough for this million."
"Oh, don't be so formal," Manager Wang waved his hand dismissively. "With our relationship, talking about money would hurt our feelings. Consider this 100 million as a token of my friendship with you."
Su Ming's smile also brightened.
"Brother, since you've put it that way, I'll be frank with you."
"Look, once this deal is signed, it has to be renewed year after year, right? It's a long-term partnership, isn't it?"
"That's for sure," Manager Wang patted his chest. "As long as Boss Su doesn't mind, we'll be partners for life."
"That's right." Su Ming smiled, his speech becoming increasingly rapid.
"Assuming you make 100 million a year, bro, your commission should be 20, right?"
If you earn 20 in a year, wouldn't you earn 40 in two years? And 80 in three years?
"That would amount to 800 million over 5 years, right?"
Thanks to his negotiation skills, Manager Wang was completely swayed.
He nodded groggily, "Yes...yes, that's right, that's right."
