Zhou Jian smiled, looked at the time on his watch and said, "Mr. Qin, it's almost four o'clock now. Since you're already here, don't go back."
"In my opinion, I'll call grandpa now and let's go to the hotel for dinner in advance. What do you think?"
"Um...ok."
Qin Ming nodded, looked at Han Xi beside him, and hesitated to speak.
Zhou Jian quickly understood what Qin Ming meant, smiled and invited Han Xi, "Miss Han, you are Mr. Qin's friend. If it is convenient for you, why not come with us?"
"This...then I'm going to bother you."
Han Xi knew that she was in Qin Ming's favor. She was curious about the relationship between Qin Ming and Mr. Zhou. After thinking about it for a while, she finally agreed to Zhou Jian's invitation.
…
Sovereign Hotel, in a luxuriously decorated VIP box.
Zhou Kangtai and Zhou Jian, as well as Qin Ming and Han Xi, took their seats one after another.
At Zhou Kangtai's signal, the waiters began to serve wine and dishes one after another, including swallow's fin, abalone, delicacies from mountains and seas, all of which were delicacies.
"Brother Qin, I really appreciate you for what happened last time. To express my gratitude, I offer you a toast."
With a smile on his face, Zhou Kangtai raised his wine glass and saluted Qin Ming.
"Mr. Zhou, you are too polite. It's just a simple effort. You don't need to take it to heart."
Qin Ming said quickly, picked up the wine glass and drank it down with Mr. Zhou.
Han Xi looked at Mr. Zhou and then at Qin Ming, with a strange look on his face.
She originally thought that Qin Ming could have a relationship with Zhou Jian, maybe because he was a distant relative of the Zhou family, or because his ancestors had a deep friendship with the Zhou family.
But now it seems that Qin Ming calls Zhou Jian brother Zhou, and Mr. Zhou calls Qin Ming brother Qin.
What's happening here?
The relationship is too messy!
< br> Han Xi was confused. She glanced at Qin Ming from time to time. She felt that she could not see through Qin Ming more and more. She even couldn't help but want to ask Qin Ming several times.
thing.
However, considering that the occasion was somewhat inappropriate, she finally swallowed the words that reached her lips.
Qin Ming didn't think as much as Han Xi thought. He, Zhou Kangtai, and Zhou Jian's ancestors and grandsons were all on their own terms, so they didn't think anything was wrong.
On the other hand, since Zhou Kangtai's body has just recovered, it's okay to have a few drinks and talk about how he feels, but he can't drink too much.
So he asked Zhou Jian to entertain Qin Ming and Han Xi well for him, and not to neglect the distinguished guests.
Han Xi is a girl, and she has to drive, so she drinks tea instead of wine the whole time.
Qin Ming didn't have any scruples. He and Zhou Jian exchanged cups. The two of them had the feeling that a thousand cups would be too little to meet a close friend, and their relationship quickly became much closer.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
When the banquet was almost over, Zhou Kangtai took the initiative and asked, "Brother Qin, regarding the cooperation between your Artistry Group and our Zhou Group, have you prepared the contract?"
"Already prepared."
Qin Ming took out the two contracts printed by Chen Tingting and handed them to Zhou Kangtai.
Favor is kindness, business is business.
Zhou Kangtai took the contract and read it carefully, and soon understood that in order to achieve cooperation with the Zhou Group this time, the Artistry Group had given a relatively low quotation, which was indeed very sincere.
"Brother Qin, I have read the contract. Basically there are no problems. It's just that the price needs to be discussed again..."
Zhou Kangtai frowned and stopped talking.
"Why, is the price too high?"
Qin Ming's heart skipped a beat. He knew nothing about the company's business and product prices. He didn't know whether the price was high or low.
Han Xi's heart suddenly rose to his throat. Qin Ming finally helped the company win the opportunity to cooperate with the Zhou Group this time. If it was ruined due to price issues, it would be too much of a loss.
"Chairman Zhou, if you are not satisfied with the price, our company can lower it by a few percentage points."
"However, we can only reduce it by five percentage points at most. This is our company's bottom line..."
Han Xi said sincerely. In order to show the greatest sincerity, she directly showed her trump card.
"No, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean the price was high, I just thought the price was a bit low."
Zhou Kangtai smiled and shook his head.
“Low price?”
Han Xi was stunned and couldn't believe his ears.
She has been in the workplace for such a long time and has negotiated cooperation dozens of times. The customers always say the price is high and try every means to lower the price.
This was the first time she encountered someone who disliked low prices.
"good!"
"Brother Qin, how about this? Our Zhou Group is willing to give your company 10% of the profits. What do you think?"
Zhou Kangtai said with a smile.
"Really? That's great!"
"Mr. Zhou, then I will thank you on behalf of Mr. Lin."
Qin Ming was overjoyed. Although he knew little about price matters, Mr. Zhou was willing to give up profits for free. This was definitely a good thing and he couldn't ask for it.
"Chairman Zhou, are you sure you are not joking?"
Han Xi was stunned, with a look of disbelief on his face.
< br> Qin Ming is a layman, but she is a professional. She knows that the profit of Zhou Group is only about 16 or 7% at most.
Now Zhou Kangtai is willing to give 10% of the profit to Artistry Group for free. Such a good thing is no different from pie in the sky.
She has already started to doubt life a little bit.
"Miss Han, don't worry, my grandfather always sticks to his word and does what he says. How could he be joking with you!"
Zhou Jian said quickly.
"Yes, Brother Qin has been kind to me, and this profit transfer should be regarded as my repayment to Brother Qin..."
Zhou Kangtai nodded and said with a smile.
It turns out it’s to repay a favor!
Han Xi suddenly realized that she finally understood the relationship between Qin Ming and Mr. Zhou. However, she had no idea how Qin Ming, an ordinary secretary, could be kind to a big shot like Zhou Kangtai.
"In addition, the contract period is usually one year. If you are willing, our Zhou Group is willing to directly sign a three-year contract this time, and it can be set to three years in the future."
Zhou Kangtai added another sentence.
"Of course we do!"
"Mr. Zhou, thank you so much."
Qin Ming was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.
Afterwards, Zhou Kangtai took out his pen and added two new contracts at the end of the contract in handwriting. One was that he was willing to give 10% of the profit to Artistry Group, and the other was to extend the contract period to three years.
Finally, Zhou Kangtai signed his name, and Qin Ming also signed on behalf of Artistry Group.
The contract is made in two copies, with each party holding one copy.
After getting the contract, Han Xi couldn't help pinching his cheeks hard, wondering if he was dreaming.
It turned out that the pain on her cheek was so bad that she was not dreaming!
