"Make him shout 'I am a big idiot' on the street eight hundred times!"
Hearing Wu Lingling's almost childish words, Wang Yu couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't be silly. This is a serious discussion. How could they possibly agree to your ridiculous condition?"
"No problem, beautiful lady."
To Wang Yu's surprise, Mr. Wayne didn't hesitate at all. He bowed slightly and agreed.
With that, he gestured to his subordinates to have the bodyguards who had just dragged Song Yi away bring him back.
"Mr. Wayne, have you changed your mind and decided to see me?"
Song Yi was visibly excited. Being dragged back so suddenly could only mean Mr. Wayne had changed his mind. He must have heard about his previous loyalty and decided to reconsider! Yes, it must be like that!
He was grateful for always showing respect and loyalty to the important figures of the West Continent, and now it was time to reap the rewards!
Song Yi, filled with joy, approached Mr. Wayne, only to hear the man's voice, or rather, his demand.
"Mr. Song Yi, is it? Please stand on the road opposite and shout 'I am a big idiot' to the sky eight hundred times."
Mr. Wayne's tone was polite and subtle, but his words were like a bolt from the blue to Song Yi.
"Wha... What?"
Song Yi's mouth felt dry, and he looked at Mr. Wayne with disbelief. He couldn't imagine such an absurd request coming from Mr. Wayne.
Should he agree, or agree, or agree?
"Mr. Wayne, I have always cooperated with your Wayne Group with all my heart and dedication. How can you ask me to do this?"
Song Yi looked wronged, as if he were saying, "I have been loyal to this country!" His posture was so dramatic that it was as if he were about to cry out for snow in June and a three-year drought.
"You have only cooperated with our small suppliers, not with our Wayne Group. Of course, if you can satisfy this lady's request, you will have the opportunity to cooperate with us in the future. Otherwise, there's no point in talking further!"
Mr. Wayne remained unmoved by Song Yi's distress and pleas, speaking without mercy. His words were polite, but the implication was clear: obey, and you'll get a bone; disobey, and you won't even get scraps!
"Heh, if you're going to be a dog, have the sense of a dog. Don't go around barking and biting people for no reason. Your master has spoken, why aren't you doing it?"
Wu Lingling chimed in with a smile, her infuriating tone making Song Yi tremble with anger.
"You... You guys... I..."
Pointing at Wu Lingling, and then glancing at Wang Yu and Ding Jianwei beside him, Song Yi was utterly speechless. One had made such a humiliating request, another had slapped him, and the third had beaten him up... Each of them made him feel worse than the last!
"What about 'you'? Are you going or not?"
Wu Lingling said impatiently. Wang Yu shook his head helplessly and tried to mediate.
"Alright, Lingling, that's enough. We don't have to force people like this."
"That won't do. Wasn't he just happily spewing insults? Wasn't he arrogant and conceited?"
Wu Lingling said with great displeasure, giving Wang Yu a look.
"Make him shout. Shout loudly, so everyone knows!"
Oh? What new trick is this woman up to?
Meeting Wu Lingling's gaze, Wang Yu immediately understood. She wasn't an unreasonable woman who caused trouble for no reason, and she had never interfered in his affairs before. Her sudden intervention must have a reason, perhaps a strategy or an idea.
Wang Yu stopped talking and chose to remain silent. Of course, to outsiders, the young man Wang Yu seemed to be henpecked, tacitly approving Wu Lingling's capricious behavior. Tsk tsk! He's a factory director, yet he has no opinions or ideas of his own!
Never mind what the onlookers were thinking. Song Yi's face went from red to black, then from black to white, changing colors several times before he gritted his teeth fiercely.
"Fine, I'll go shout now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left, walking to the opposite side of the road and starting to yell at the top of his lungs.
"I am a big idiot!"
"I am a big idiot!"
"I am a big idiot!"
...
His voice grew louder with each shout, his voice hoarse like a pig being slaughtered. Passersby couldn't help but stop and watch the spectacle.
"So? Mr. Wang, can we proceed with the cooperation talks now?"
Mr. Wayne, however, acted as if he had just spanked his own dog, as if he had done something trivial. His expression was indifferent, and his tone of voice towards Wang Yu remained unchanged.
"Yes."
What else could Wang Yu say? Of course, he nodded in agreement. Such people were the most terrifying. They appeared polite and courteous on the surface, but were decisive and ruthless, capable of delivering a precise and fatal blow without anyone noticing.
Huh? That sounds like me? Pfft! I'm not that insidious.
Wang Yu muttered to himself, then smiled at Mr. Wayne and asked, "In what area are you looking to cooperate with me?"
"I heard earlier that Qinglu Group had a large order of 100 million with Star Shipbuilding Plant in Sam Country. Because of your help, the products that were originally supposed to be delivered in 100 days were completed in less than 10 days. Is that true?"
Mr. Wayne's question was phrased as a question, but his tone carried absolute certainty. It was clear that he had investigated thoroughly before coming to visit Wang Yu in person. Otherwise, given their status and influence, they wouldn't have traveled so far for mere hearsay. Did they think their busy schedules were for show?
"That is indeed true, but it was completed because of the great rewards offered and the mobilization of the entire Jiangyang County."
Wang Yu said objectively, without any pride.
"What Jiangyang County did was just the basic manufacturing... These are not problems for the Wayne Group. We have plenty of money and people. But what truly concerns me is the critical precision processing of all the parts. That was completed by the automated processing production line you have, wasn't it? That's the ultimate winning strategy!"
Mr. Wayne said with great certainty, clearly having investigated everything.
"My request this time is very simple: I hope Mr. Wang can transfer the full technical rights of that production line to our Wayne Group."
Hearing Mr. Wayne's words, Wang Yu chuckled. They had calculated their odds well! He thought they had come to ask for his help with processing and production, but they actually intended to take everything, including all the technology!
"I'm afraid that won't do!"
As soon as Wang Yu said this, he saw Mr. Wayne smile slightly.
"Mr. Wang, please don't refuse just yet. You can listen to my terms."
"Your terms?"
"That's right, terms you absolutely won't refuse! Talking about money or goods is too vulgar. You can take a look at this first!"
Mr. Wayne smiled and handed over a bulging file bag.
