The representatives from Emmons Publishing House took the planning book handed to them by Chen Li and read it one by one. Gu Li also briefly browsed through it. The more he read, the more surprised he became, and the more he looked, the more he looked forward to it.
"Mr. Xiao, are you sure your company can bring such a big improvement to Emmons? Emmons and Wenhua had similar plans at the beginning, but unfortunately, we did not see such results in the end."
Although Gu Li was surprised, he was still calm enough. Who doesn't know how to draw a picture? This kind of thing is just words. If you don't finish it by then, the other party can give you countless reasons and excuses.
"Mr. Gu, please rest assured. Since we can make such a plan, it means that we are very confident. Yaohua is different from other companies. Any commitment made by Yaohua will be written into the contract.
So please don’t worry.”
When Xiao Muyou said this, the people on Emmons' side began to whisper. If it could be written into the contract, of course they would be willing. After all, if it was written into it, Emmons' sales would increase by 20% in the same period.
Next, the negotiations between the two parties became much more harmonious. After all, there is such a big temptation, and no one will refuse it as long as they are not fools.
But Xiao Muyou is not stupid. In the contract, they also added a gambling contract, which is based on 20%. If the excess is completed, the share ratio will be different. After all, the essence of this contract is profit.
.
At noon, everyone had dinner in the hotel, and after a short break, the meeting continued.
The cooperation between the two companies cannot be solved in a few words. The meeting lasted until about 4:30 in the evening. The preliminary cooperation content has been drafted, and some contract details will be negotiated and discussed later.
However, Xiao Muyou will not be responsible for these matters personally, and will leave them to Jiang Bo and others to handle.
This time Jiang Bo and the others will stay in the UK for about a week, but looking at the current situation, it may not take a week to reach the final cooperation. By then, Xiao Muyou will only need to attend the signing ceremony.
In the afternoon, after seeing off Emmons' people, Xiao Muyou, Jiang Bo, and Chen Li held another brief meeting and re-listed some of Yaohua's bottom lines.
"Okay, depending on Emmons' attitude, you can discuss the contract details tomorrow. Maybe we can finalize the final contract details in two more meetings."
Jiang Bo and Chen Li also had smiles on their faces. Before departure, they were still a little nervous, fearing that they would not be able to get Emmons' contract, but today's meeting went surprisingly smoothly, but they also knew that it was all thanks to Xiao Muyou.
"Lao Jiang, Lili, I'll leave it to you later. Call me when you have determined the signing time. If the work can be completed in advance, I will give you a holiday. In short, you must stay here for a week."
Xiao Muyou is not a boss who likes to exploit employees. She always believes that employees have created value for the company, so they should be given remuneration and treatment of equal value.
It can be said that if you look at this industry, no company has such benefits as Yaohua. Their salary income is 50% higher than that of the same level outside, and some even double the salary.
Jiang Bo nodded seriously. Xiao Muyou had actually told him about these things before coming here.
"By the way, Mr. Xiao, Zhou Qianhe contacted me before coming here. She wanted to ask you when the first fund will arrive."
Xiao Muyou had previously handed over the cooperation with Zhou Qianhe to Chen Li, and she had full authority to handle it herself. Currently, both parties have negotiated the details of the contract and are just waiting for the signing of the contract and the arrival of the first investment funds.
"I will arrange for someone to transfer the funds to the exclusive account in the next two days. Remember, this fund must be transferred in multiple times, which will give Zhou Qianhe a sense of urgency."
Chen Li nodded.
"I know, then I will invest the first amount of funds at the end of the month. Their publishing house has been undergoing internal rectification recently. It is not a good thing to transfer funds at this time."
Chen Li expressed his thoughts, and Xiao Muyou nodded in agreement. She trusted Chen Li very much and recognized her abilities, otherwise she would not have let Chen Li stay with her for so many years.
"Okay, it's getting late, you should go to bed early. By the way, Lili, if you want to go out for a walk at night, call someone else. This place is not like China. Girls should not go out alone."
The only female member of the negotiating team that came this time was Chen Li. For safety reasons, Xiao Muyou had to remind her.
Chen Li nodded and said.
"Don't worry, boss. I'm not going out. I have to sort out the documents I need tomorrow. Let's wait until Emmons' work is over. Then I'll rope in these men to be my bodyguards."
Chen Li said jokingly, and Jiang Bo on the side also agreed.
"It just so happens that before I go abroad, my wife must ask me to bring her a gift. Then I will have to ask Lili to help me give her advice. This will save me from being disliked by my family every time I bring a gift back."
"This will be decided by your own internal discussion. I'm leaving."
With that said, Xiao Muyou looked at the time, got up and walked towards the door.
Jiang Bo also left with him. This was Chen Li's room. It was not convenient for him, a married man, to stay again.
Chen Li sent Xiao Muyou to the door of the hotel, and from afar he saw Lei Yan leaning against the car door.
"Boss, Mr. Lei is almost becoming your coachman now. He picks you up and drops you off."
Chen Li's eyes were full of envy. She was obviously two years older than Xiao Muyou, but why couldn't she meet the right person?
After hearing this, Xiao Muyou smiled slightly and said.
"LiLi, I'm so envious. Then quickly find one for yourself. Don't ask for too much."
"Forget it, I don't want to talk about this, I'm going up."
Chen Li walked to the door without going out. He just nodded to Lei Yan from a distance and then walked back.
Xiao Muyou walked up to Lei Yan and hugged him directly. Lei Yan also gave him a very passionate kiss. This was England. They didn't have too many worries. They could have a French kiss as long as they wanted to.
"Are you done?"
Xiao Muyou knew that Lei Yan had gone to the Feng Group branch today, and thought he would be busy until late, but he didn't expect it to be over so soon.
"I just went over to inspect the work. It's over a long time ago. Starting tomorrow, it's a trip for the two of us. Come on, get in the car first. We'll cook a delicious meal for your little brother and the others tonight."
They won't be staying at Xiao Yichen's villa tomorrow, and tonight is a farewell dinner.
Xiao Muyou nodded, and then the two of them got in the car, bought a lot of Chinese dishes at a nearby supermarket, and then returned to Xiao Yichen's villa.
In the evening, the four of us had a lively meal for almost three hours, but tonight the four of us were very restrained and did not drink too much.
"What's your next plan?"
After dinner, while Lei Yan was answering the phone, Xiao Yichen and Xiao Mu chatted leisurely for a while.
"We are still staying in London for the past two days. In a few days, the company will sign a contract with Emmons. After this matter is finished, we will go all the way north, first to visit the place where Lei Yan lived when he was a child, and then to the bank
Stone Circuit, aren't there a few races there recently? I want to go and see them."
Xiao Muyou talked about his travel plan. There was not a lot of itinerary, mainly considering Lei Yan's health and not wanting to be too tired.
"Have fun and take care of yourself."
Xiao Yichen warned, Xiao Muyou smiled slightly and nodded.
"Don't worry, I'm not a child anymore."
It was another peaceful night, Xiao Muyou and Lei Yan fell asleep hugging each other.
The next day, around nine o'clock, Lei Yan loaded their luggage into the car. Xiao Muyou, Xiao Yichen, and Ferdo hugged each other and followed them into the car.
"Brother, goodbye!"
"Be careful on the road and call me if you need anything."
Xiao Yichen warned again, then looked at Lei Yan and said.
"Take care of her for me.
"I will. Thank you for your hospitality these two days. See you next time."
They drove the entire trip by themselves, and the car was an SUV owned by Xiao Yichen. When the trip was over, they had to return to London and then fly back to China.
Lei Yan drove the car slowly out of Xiao Yichen's villa. Looking at the red-walled villa that gradually disappeared behind the car, Xiao Muyou's eyes were filled with anticipation for their journey.
After driving for almost an hour and a half, they arrived at a small town in northern London. At this time, their car parked outside an old villa.
"This was your childhood home?"
Xiao Muyou asked curiously as he looked at the three-story villa in front of him, which was slightly larger than Xiao Yichen's.
This area is an independent villa area. Rather than saying it is a villa, it is actually a building built by the household owners who bought the land themselves, so roughly speaking, each villa is different.
The white-walled villa in front of me should cover an area of 230 to 40 square meters, with three floors. Maybe it has been over time. The white walls have turned yellow, and one side of the wall is covered with ivy. However, because winter is about to come.
Now, I can only see the vines all over the wall.
Outside the villa is a courtyard wall built with wooden strips more than one meter high. Inside the wooden fence, there are many kinds of dwarf trees and shrubs.
Lei Yan looked at the villa in front of him with a touch of sadness in his eyes.
The villa was still the same familiar villa, but the people who lived in it were no longer familiar to him.
"There used to be a cherry tree in the yard, right over there. If it was still there, it would be full of cherries this season. When I was a child, I liked to lie under the tree and pick a few cherries to eat when I had nothing to do. They were very sweet."
Lei Yan seemed to be lost in memories. As he spoke, his eyes became darker and darker, and Xiao Muyou just listened quietly.
"This villa was designed by my mother herself. Unfortunately, the current owner has changed it beyond recognition. Look at the pavilion. It used to be a swimming pool. In the summer, I like to play in the water the most. And that
Next to it, there is a small plantation, and my mother planted a lot of vegetables in it. I remember that when Xin'er could just walk, she liked to get in there and pick all kinds of fruits and vegetables."
"It's a pity that you can't see the backyard from here. I remember there was a river behind. My father used to like fishing there. Later, my mother was afraid that my father would be exposed to the sun, so she asked someone to build a pavilion by the river. Later, we often barbecued there.
"
Lei Yan talked about what happened when he was a child, his expression gradually relaxed, and a smile flashed at the corner of his mouth.
But suddenly, the sound stopped suddenly, and Lei Yan came back to his senses. He had forgotten that those were just his childhood memories, but now, things have changed, his father and mother are no longer there, and even this villa is no longer his.
