Song Yiyang hugged Xu Wei and followed Nick, followed by Nick's men. They looked back from time to time to check the situation, fearing that they would be discovered.
…
He Lichen and Joseph were sitting in the reception room on the first floor of the office building.
The conversation between the two was interrupted when He Lichen's cell phone rang.
"Sorry, I have to take a call." He Lichen said.
"Please." Joseph knew that President Heda was busy with work, so it was not surprising that he would receive a call.
He Lichen saw the call from Nick and answered the call.
"Lichen, we are out."
"Yes, I understand," He Lichen replied, but in order to appear natural in front of Joseph, he added, "Let's talk about it when I get back."
Obviously, Joseph thought it was something happening in Westport, so he didn't take the call to heart.
He Lichen hung up the phone and continued chatting with Joseph.
"I have already agreed with the cooperative company that you can call and inquire." He Lichen said.
"Of course you have to ask," Joseph replied.
After speaking, Joseph took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of the contact person at the cooperative company.
After being connected, Joseph gave a brief greeting and then went directly to the topic, "I would like to ask, is the cooperation between He Yi and your company still continuing?"
"No, we have no cooperation with He Yi." The other party replied.
Joseph knew that this was a confidential matter of the company. If the other party could answer like this, it was considered a friendly answer, "Thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Joseph felt relieved. The first thing he did was that he was quite satisfied.
He Lichen was very stable and planned to continue delaying the matter.
"As a business person, do you think a businessman's management and operation model is like yours?" He Lichen asked.
When talking about business, Joseph naturally felt like he had something to talk about with He Lichen.
"Most people are not like me, but a very small number of them are not excluded," Joseph said.
"So, you think what you did is right?" He Lichen asked.
"There is no right or wrong, only results."
He Lichen chuckled lightly and looked at Joseph.
Joseph could tell that He Lichen looked down on him.
"Hey, everyone knows that what matters in the shopping mall is business and tactics." Joseph said that he did not intend to admit He Lichen's contempt for him.
"It is true that EQ is important, IQ is more important, and means are necessary," He Lichen replied, "but you seem to have forgotten one thing."
Joseph wondered, "What?"
"For a well-known businessman, his style, bottom line, and habits are the basis for his foothold in this business," He Lichen said.
"So what you mean is..."
"If what you did today were known to people in this city's business district, what do you think... would be the consequences?" He Lichen asked. Before he took over the He Yi Empire, his father told him that reputation is sometimes more important than those of others.
The number of words in a contract is important.
"I think... there should be no consequences," Joseph said.
After a pause, Joseph continued, "Everyone cooperates in work because of profit. I don't care what others think of me, as long as we have something in common and everyone can make a profit."
"Haha..." He Lichen smiled and said nothing.
Perhaps, he has already guessed his future.
"Congratulations, maybe we can cooperate in the future," Joseph said.
"No, I can reject you now," He Lichen said directly, putting down his harsh words, "There is absolutely no possibility of us cooperating in the future."
I don’t know how to cooperate with everyone, and I don’t always find favorable opportunities. I also choose people to cooperate with.
For example, for our partners this time, if something like this happens to us, if we communicate with them to help, they will consider their own face and agree to help.
I think that the reason why they can cooperate with me in this drama is not because there is much profit to be gained, but because they believe in themselves and are sure that He Yi, whom they represent, will not have any problems, which is reassuring to them.
"Don't say it so harshly. We still don't know what will happen in the future." Joseph said with a smile.
"I really don't know what will happen in the future, but my decision now can determine what happens in the future." He Lichen replied.
The smile on Joseph's face froze, and his mood suddenly became unhappy again.
After adjusting his mood, Joseph said, "Hey, there is no need to be so strict about everything. There seems to be no grudge or hatred between us."
"There was no such thing before, and there will never be one in the future." He Lichen had already blocked this person out of his life circle. In the future, he would no longer have this person in his memory. "I just... don't want to have anything to do with you."
Intersection.”
"But this time we have an intersection."
"It's just an accident."
"Haha." Joseph laughed twice.
He Lichen felt that there was not enough time, so he continued chatting with Joseph, "Tell you the secret of business success."
"All ears."
"If an enterprise wants to develop and grow, it must rely on its strength." He Lichen said.
Strength is the best backing and the strongest backing. When strength exists, whether it is the hearts of leaders or employees, at least they are solid. Then this company will stand at the highest position one day, at least it will not be shaky.
.
"Well, that's right," Joseph agreed, "so I have been relying on my strength to grow my company."
He Lichen understood that the strength Joseph was talking about was the cooperation he had managed to obtain. Once this cooperation was completed, it would add another achievement to the company's strength. This was the strength he was talking about.
"I'm a little curious. What is the net profit of your company's largest cooperation since its operation until now?" He Lichen asked. Although it was private, he did not ask for the specific amount. He only wanted to give a rough idea.
Joseph replied, "My profit is incomparable to your He Yi's. It's not much, just nine figures."
"That order..." He Lichen began to say, waiting for Joseph to answer.
Joseph took it without any precautions and said, "I got it through fair bidding."
He Lichen nodded, "Not bad, not bad."
On the surface, he was blessing Joseph, but He Lichen knew in his heart that for a person like Joseph, the bidding was probably a fair one, but he must have done something before the bidding.
Sure enough, it was not what He Lichen expected.
"Actually, there are tricks in bidding. If you do a little bit of activity, you will become a representative of several companies, and winning the bid will be a natural thing." Joseph said.
He Lichen smiled.
"Okay, let's talk so much. We must not forget the business today." Joseph said.
He Lichen still didn't speak.
Joseph became a little more serious and asked He Lichen, "Where is the money?"
He Lichen opened the suitcase he had brought earlier and found 10 million in cash inside.
"Ten million?" Joseph asked, not very relieved. (To be continued)
