Previously, you were clearly disapproving, but now you’ve immediately agreed?
Is this guy a dog, changing his mind so quickly?
Everyone looked at Wang Yu, unsure of his intentions.
Had he finally bowed to the power of capital? What a preachy speech he’d given earlier!
So in the end, he still had to give in!
Heh heh heh!
Many people sneered with disdain, while others looked on with contempt.
The people from Xizhou, however, were beaming with pride. He had finally caved.
“However, I have one request,” Mr. Wayne suddenly said. “The production line technology you sell to me cannot be sold to anyone else!”
That was right, he wanted exclusivity. Otherwise, why would he have traveled all this way, bringing so many favorable conditions?
In fact, all he wanted was to secure Wang Yu’s production line technology for himself.
He wanted unique technology; otherwise, what advantage would he have if others also possessed it?
“But what about companies from different industries, and the contracts stipulating usage only for themselves? Won’t that avoid competition?”
You’re too naive. Do you know about joint ventures?
What if the Aden Shipyard gets the technology, and then a certain car company invests in it? Wouldn’t that make them your competitor?
Besides, if Wang Yu can sell it to one company, he can sell it to a second, a third…
What would be the point then?
Clearly, among those present, Mr. Wayne wasn’t the only one who thought this way. The others also clamored, all expressing the same idea.
Wang Yu could name any price, but the same production line technology could only be sold to one of them!
“Look, what do we do, Xiao Wang?”
Yu Chengyang looked at Wang Yu with a troubled expression, hesitation evident on his face.
Now it was his turn to be conflicted. He couldn’t afford to offend any of these powerful figures, or rather, they all represented significant interests that he couldn't afford to lose.
“It’s alright, Governor,”
Wang Yu said with a smile, reassuring Yu Chengyang. Then he looked at the crowd before him.
“Are you all saying that the same technology can only be sold to one of you?”
“Exactly!”
“Yes, if you’re just going to sell it for money, why would we make this trip?”
“That’s right! I want exclusive technology. You can set any conditions, but no one else!”
“Precisely. As long as you sell me the technology, I guarantee you…”
“…”
Another round of clamor. Well, this was livelier than a farmer’s market, especially with Song Yi’s hoarse shouts underneath the background noise, “I’m a big idiot…”
It even added a strange sense of humor!
“Everyone, no need to rush. I can agree to this condition, but we can discuss the details slowly!”
Wang Yu said with a smile to everyone. Then he turned to Yu Chengyang.
“Governor, could you please arrange a place for private negotiations? We can discuss them one-on-one.”
Hearing Wang Yu’s words, Yu Chengyang awoke as if from a dream and nodded. “Of course. Alright! I’ll arrange it right away!”
Indeed, did they think this was like buying a pancake from Uncle Wang next door? They could close the deal with a few words on the street?
Such conditions definitely required slow deliberation!
Besides, they had to include the local government’s share, as well as conditions for attracting investment and solving employment issues.
And in such a public setting, under everyone’s gaze, it was truly unsuitable for detailed communication. With so many eyes around, what if something confidential were leaked?
Yu Chengyang thought about this as he hurried to have his subordinates make all the necessary arrangements.
Soon, at the government guesthouse in the city center, in a dedicated conference room, Wang Yu began his one-on-one negotiations with each of the industry giants from Xizhou.
The general scene was this: in a private conference room, Wang Yu sat on one side, with the representatives from the car factory behind him.
Then, the seats opposite were occupied one by one by the representatives and executives of these Xizhou companies, who then presented their respective conditions and demands.
…
Fuck! This is like I, Wang Yu, am interviewing for a job!
All the big shots from Xizhou were extremely displeased. They all stood outside the conference room, waiting for the party currently inside to finish their discussion with Wang Yu before the next one went in.
They were all influential figures in the world, yet now they were acting like job-seeking employees, waiting outside to be called in by Wang Yu?
Some wanted to lose their temper, but seeing that others were in the same predicament, they could only suppress their anger.
That damned young man, he got lucky with a few impressive technologies and became arrogant!
Just wait. Once we get the technology, we’ll deal with you!
Did you really think capital was that benevolent?
There will be plenty of ways to ruin you!
As they muttered amongst themselves, Mr. Wayne, who had been the first to enter the conference room to negotiate with Wang Yu, walked out, a triumphant smile on his face.
Clearly, the negotiation had gone very smoothly. Wang Yu had agreed without a second word to sell them the mechanical automation production line, and they had signed the contract on the spot.
Although he had paid a considerable price, it was entirely worth it!
Once the costs were recovered and competitors were defeated, they would deal with this kid Wang Yu slowly!
Did he really think the money of our Wayne Group was that easy to take? Wasn’t he afraid it would burn his hands?
Smiling coldly, Mr. Wayne turned to leave, ignoring the others present. He was pressed for time and needed to return to make preparations.
Wang Yu’s production line technology was already exclusively his. These others were just here to participate in a competition they had already lost! Nothing more to say!
Thinking this, Mr. Wayne’s face showed a smug expression, and he departed.
This left the other tycoons stunned. Had he already secured Wang Yu?
Amidst their confusion, they saw the conference room door open, and the representative from the Aden Shipyard walked in.
Following that, after what seemed like a lengthy negotiation, the conference room door opened again.
The representative from the Aden Shipyard emerged, his face pale.
Damn this East Continent bloodsucker! The conditions he demanded were too harsh! But it was fortunate that I had enough courage to agree to them all!
Although it was a huge financial blow, it was all worth it!
Glancing at the remaining competitors, the representative from the Aden Shipyard chuckled. “I’ve already taken the lead, why are you still here?”
Thinking this, he strode away with a confident gait.
…
Following this, similar scenes began to unfold repeatedly.
