"Mr. Jiang, may we take the samples with us?" Clark asked.
"No!"
Jiang Yi had Shen Lu put the samples away, then said to Clark, "Since you don't want to cooperate with our company, you are not qualified to take the samples away."
"Mr. Jiang, our company's previous negotiations were not like this. Our company has the right to take away the samples we need." Clark's sense of superiority resurfaced.
In the past, no matter what company they negotiated with, they could take anything they wanted.
Under their threats, they could even take away detailed information that others had painstakingly researched.
However, this method wouldn't work with Jiang Yi.
"Don't give me that nonsense!"
Jiang Yi said calmly, "Why should you take away what I've worked so hard to research? If you have the ability, go research it yourselves. Your usual tactics of coercion and bribery are useless against me."
Clark frowned.
He knew very well that he had encountered a tough opponent this time.
"Do you want to disrupt our company's rules? You should think carefully," Clark said.
"Your company's rules are the rules of robbers, and I won't fall for them. If you want to cooperate with me, don't play those games. If you don't want to cooperate, please help yourself out. I won't see you off," Jiang Yi said.
Jiang Yi was unyielding, and Clark had no solution.
"Mr. Jiang, we have examined the samples you gave me earlier, and the technology you used infringes on our company's patents. We can sue you."
Clark continued with his old, worn-out tactic—framing.
Anything that Edison Corporation couldn't get, they would claim was stolen from their company's patented technology and research achievements, and then they would start all sorts of shameless accusations.
Once the other party couldn't withstand the pressure, they could only compromise.
Jiang Yi was so angry he almost slammed the table.
Although Jiang Yi rarely managed company affairs, he had successfully negotiated many project contracts for Tiansheng Group.
But this was the first time he had encountered such a shameless person.
Jiang Yi couldn't understand it; were they so shameless that they didn't care about their reputation at all?
"To do business, you have to learn to be a person. You don't even know how to be a person. Go back and learn how to be a person. After you've learned how to be a person, then come back and talk to me about projects."
Jiang Yi finished speaking and stood up to leave.
"Mr. Jiang, don't be angry. We are used to using this method to negotiate with people! This is our company's corporate culture," Clark said.
Jiang Yi didn't know what to say.
They were so shameless that they directly admitted their despicable tactics.
This was truly shamelessness personified, reaching the peak of audacity!
"If you want to cooperate, don't use these trashy tactics on me!"
Jiang Yi finished speaking and said to Shen Lu, "You talk to them!"
"Mm!"
Shen Lu nodded and began to discuss the specific content of the project with Clark.
Jiang Yi had developed the new drug, and most of the advantages were held by Tiansheng Group.
Shen Lu was not polite at all and made an exorbitant demand, securing the greatest benefits for Tiansheng Group.
Clark had to compromise to get his company the opportunity to cooperate.
Shen Lu was even more ruthless than Jiang Yi, leaving only a small portion of the benefits for Edison Corporation.
This time, Tiansheng Group, represented by Jiang Yi and Shen Lu, achieved a great victory.
After signing the project contract, Clark and his team left in disarray.
Jiang Yi flipped through the pages, carefully reading the contract.
When signing a contract with Edison Corporation, Jiang Yi dared not be negligent in the slightest.
This company was adept at various schemes and tricks, and even made subtle changes to contracts.
With the slightest carelessness, one could fall into their trap.
Seeing that the contract had no issues, Jiang Yi finally felt relieved.
"I'm glad you were here today, otherwise our company would have suffered a great loss!"
Shen Lu said, "Clark used all sorts of tactics. If it were me, I wouldn't have been able to resist."
"I made a fatal mistake!" Jiang Yi said.
"What mistake?" Shen Lu asked curiously.
"Negotiations cannot be controlled by emotions, otherwise, serious mistakes are prone to happen. One must maintain extreme calmness. Clark just said we stole their company's technology, and my emotions almost got out of control."
"Moreover, I have prejudices against Edison Corporation. Fortunately, this time the initiative was in our hands, otherwise this negotiation would have fallen apart," Jiang Yi said.
"You were indeed a bit much earlier,"
Shen Lu said, "The purpose of negotiation is to maximize interests, and no personal emotions should be involved, as this can easily be exploited by the other party."
Jiang Yi nodded.
"I don't want to be involved in any more projects with Edison Corporation in the future!"
Jiang Yi said, "I'm worried I might beat them up."
Shen Lu couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.
"Alright, I'll handle all future project cooperation with Edison Corporation."
Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Yi and Shen Lu left the Royal Hotel with the contract.
As they reached the main entrance, they encountered Changsun Xiong.
Changsun Xiong's expression was very unpleasant.
Upon seeing Jiang Yi, Changsun Xiong forced a smile and greeted him.
"President Changsun, what's wrong?" Jiang Yi asked.
"That scoundrel Mao Tong was rescued. I sent out everyone I could, but I still haven't found Mao Tong. I'm worried that Mao Tong will reveal what happened last night. Once it gets out, I'm finished!" Changsun Xiong said helplessly.
"You don't need to be afraid!"
Jiang Yi smiled slightly, "Mao Tong is a big star, a public figure. If he reveals such scandals, he'll be finished too. He's not an idiot, he wouldn't do something so foolish."
"That makes sense!"
Changsun Xiong took a deep breath.
"However, I still can't let Mao Tong go. He still holds leverage over me. If I don't get rid of Mao Tong, he will always be a threat to me, making me restless."
"Do you need my help?" Jiang Yi asked.
"No!"
Changsun Xiong said, "I will handle this myself. I appreciate your kindness."
"Alright then! If you need help, let me know." Jiang Yi said.
"Mm," Changsun Xiong nodded.
"By the way, why are you at the Royal Hotel? Is Mao Tong at the Royal Hotel?" Jiang Yi asked.
"Mao Tong is not at the Royal Hotel. I came to the Royal Hotel to find you."
Changsun Xiong said helplessly, "You asked me to stop Miss Ye from registering the company, and everything was going smoothly. But unexpectedly, that scoundrel Changsun Hao stole my seal and secretly registered the company for Miss Ye."
"Alas, I have already locked up that unfilial son!"
Jiang Yi was speechless upon hearing this!
This matter was easy to handle, but Changsun Xiong had botched it completely.
If Dongfang Mei found out, how would he explain it to her?
