In the afternoon, General Manager He and his assistant entered the meeting room of Mo Ying Group again.
"General Manager He, did you rest well at noon?" Xia Weilan sat beside Mo Beichen, asking calmly.
General Manager He glanced at Mo Beichen, who was sitting there silently, his eyes flickering. Then he smiled faintly at Xia Weilan and said,
"Quite well."
"That's good. Let's start now." Xia Weilan elegantly opened the document in front of her but didn't look at it. Instead, she stared seriously at General Manager He with her eyes:
"General Manager He, our General Manager Mo has already talked to you a lot before. Our president's intention is that we sincerely hope to cooperate with you. Moreover, the follow - up services we provide are the most convenient. This is different from Yihe Mall. Every time they put a product on the shelves, they have to go through complicated procedures. And the brands in our mall are all well - known ones, not like those uneven companies. Although others have a large venue, they lack refinement."
The main theme of Xia Weilan's negotiation this time was to highlight the obvious advantages of Mo Ying Mall compared to Yihe Mall.
"I believe General Manager He is aware of these, right?" After Xia Weilan finished speaking, she looked at General Manager He with a faint smile, waiting for his answer.
General Manager He had originally looked down on Xia Weilan and hadn't really taken her seriously. But now, as he listened to Xia Weilan's words, he sat up straighter and straighter. Finally, he stared directly at Xia Weilan, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes. After thinking for a while, he said,
"You're right. Mo Ying Mall is indeed the mall with the best quality and reputation. But Mo Ying Group can't just raise the rent casually just because it dominates the market. The rent is a full 10% higher than the market price. This 10% means a considerable profit in a year. To be frank, this is simply a hegemonic clause."
Although General Manager He's words were calm, there was a bit of anger in them. His tone was as if something that belonged to him had been snatched away forcefully.
Xia Weilan stared blankly at General Manager He for a moment, then her mind raced, and she regained her composure and said,
"General Manager He only sees that 10% profit, but does General Manager Mo know where the most famous place in the entire imperial capital is? And which mall is the first choice for tourists and even the famous ladies in the capital to go shopping? Considering the sales volume and the reputation of Mo Ying Group's 'High - end Shopping', I can say that once you enter Mo Ying Mall, it's like advertising for free..."
In the meeting room, only Xia Weilan's clear and pleasant voice could be heard. Her tone was gentle. Compared with Mo Beichen's sharpness, it had a touch of mild persuasion. General Manager He, who had been arguing in the morning, was now surprisingly calm and seriously pondering.
Seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Mo Beichen's eyes. Then he quietly looked at Xia Weilan. Although the words Xia Weilan was saying now were the result of their discussion at noon, Xia Weilan was more rational, well - founded, calm, and reserved than he had expected.
Xia Weilan smiled gently, poured a cup of tea for everyone, then sat back beside Mo Beichen and looked at General Manager He calmly.
General Manager He rolled his eyes. He was calculating in his mind and increasingly felt that cooperating with Mo Ying Group was like a windfall. That small 10% expenditure didn't seem like much anymore.
The other two assistants were silent at the moment, and their looks at Xia Weilan had changed.
"Hehe," after General Manager He figured it out, he looked at Mo Beichen, who had been silent all the time, and said easily,
"Mo Group really has a lot of talents. No wonder all its subsidiary companies are elite. Even a newly - appointed secretary is so capable."
Hearing this, Xia Weilan let out a sigh of relief. Then she heard Mo Beichen's clear and pleasant voice slowly ring out:
"Secretary Xia is truly a rough gem."
There was no hesitation in his praise. When it came from Mo Beichen's mouth, it was particularly convincing, as if Xia Weilan was just so outstanding that he had taken a fancy to her.
"Hahaha, General Manager Mo has an eye for talent." General Manager He suddenly burst into hearty laughter. The other two assistants widened their eyes. From morning until now, this was the first time General Manager He had laughed so heartily. They knew in their hearts that this deal was surely going to be signed.
Soon, General Manager He picked up the signature pen and signed the document without hesitation.
Then he stood up and shook hands with Mo Beichen and Xia Weilan respectively:
"I'm most at ease when cooperating with Mo Ying Group."
Xia Weilan's eyes flickered, but she didn't say anything. If she hadn't known before that General Manager He's visit this time was just a perfunctory one, she might have almost believed in his sincerity. Now, hearing him say so, her heart skipped a beat.
After General Manager He and his entourage left, Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen returned to the office.
Mo Beichen sat in front of the desk. Looking at Xia Weilan's excited face opposite him, he raised his eyebrows and asked,
"What's your feeling?"
Xia Weilan touched her chin: "I kind of felt the ever - changing atmosphere in the business world. The deepest feeling is that if you know both yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without defeat."
Mo Beichen got up, walked to the coffee machine, poured two cups of coffee, walked in front of Xia Weilan, and handed one to her:
"You did a good job today."
Holding the warm coffee in her hand, Xia Weilan felt even more excited. After all, it was rare for Mo Beichen to praise someone.
"However, you're still too young and can't stay calm enough. Just now, when you got excited, your eyes showed too much excitement. Immediately, General Manager He knew that you were very eager for this cooperation. This was a bit of a drawback."
Mo Beichen leaned against the table. He was tall and straight, and his noble and calm aura seemed to come from his bones, making people have to submit.
Hearing this, Xia Weilan nodded and said modestly: "Husband, I know. I'll pay attention next time."
After calling him General Manager Mo all day, she finally called him husband when there was no one else. Xia Weilan saw Mo Beichen's fingers suddenly pause, and a gentle smile flashed in her eyes.
"There's another meeting later. Xu Wei is on leave today. Keep up the good work." After Mo Beichen finished speaking, he walked to the side and started looking at the documents.
The next meeting was an internal meeting of the company. Xia Weilan sorted out several documents but didn't go in. Instead, she returned to the president's office and waited for Mo Beichen to get off work.
