"I heard that you had an exam two days ago, and," Ning Xi still had her sunglasses on, hiding the subtle expression on her face, but her leaning body and the arm supporting her chin fully demonstrated the joy in her heart at the moment, "and fought a war that belonged to boys for a beautiful girl?"
Wen Liang sighed secretly, women, their desire for revenge is always so strong! He knew where Ning Xi's pleasure came from. The two were only a few years apart in age. One had already graduated from the world's most famous business school, while the other was still trapped in a high school doing what teenagers of this age would do. This alone was enough to tell the difference between the two.
He shook the milk tea in his hand, deliberately not answering Ning Xi's question, turned his head to look at Ning Xiaoning, and said with a smile: "Coach, you are such a gossiper too?"
Ning Xiaoning blinked her eyes, pretending to be confused and innocent, and said, "I didn't!"
Wen Liang's hand trembled violently and the milk tea almost spilled all over the floor.
For a moment, he was stunned!
Wen Liang never thought that one day he would see the cold and arrogant Ning Xiaoning reveal such a little girl's side. He didn't know what to say for a moment, and his eyes were a little dull. Ning Xi looked at the two of them with interest, and suddenly pinched Ning Xiaoning's face, and burst out laughing: "My Snow Beauty is getting more and more lovely, haha!"
Ning Xiaoning glared at Ning Xi and rubbed her face in dissatisfaction. Seeing that Wen Liang was still looking silly, she felt a slight tenderness from the bottom of her heart. However, she still tried her best to suppress the smile that was about to overflow from her lips, and returned to her usual cold and arrogant look. She glanced at Wen Liang with a disdainful snort, as if the cunning and lovely Ning Xiaoning had never appeared at that moment.
Wen Liang coughed dryly, waking up from his trance, and said, "Well, this attitude is very correct. I was really scared just now."
What kind of spirit is this? This is the legendary shamelessness!
Ning Xiaoning curled her lips and turned her head away, her thoughts drifting to a very far place for a moment. For some reason, she suddenly thought of Xu Yao, and her heart felt a little sour and a little painful!
While Ning Xiaoning was distracted, Ning Xi whispered, "Boy, you're quite good at it. Xiaoning rarely looks so absent-minded."
Wen Liang smiled slightly, ignored her words, put down the milk tea in his hand, leaned back in his chair, took out a thick business plan and handed it over, saying: "Let's talk business, this is a detailed development plan, take a look, if you have any questions I can answer them on the spot, and strive to satisfy everyone."
Ning Xi took it and shook it, then put it in her bag without even looking at it. She took out another document and put it on the table. After a moment's hesitation, she suddenly said, "It's okay to invest in Qinghe, but I want to control the shares!"
This sentence was so devastating that even Ning Xiaoning was shocked back to reality. She was obviously shocked and looked at Ning Xi's profile with her mouth slightly open. She was speechless. She knew that Ning Xi had made the decision to invest, but she had never expressed her intention to take control. With Wen Liang's feelings for Qinghe, it was impossible for her to accept such a condition.
Ning Xiaoning looked at Wen Liang worriedly, fearing that he would leave in anger. The poor little girl didn't know that just now outside the restaurant, the two people she tried so hard to bring together had already had a confrontation.
This time, it's just a continuation of the war!
Wen Liang's face was calm, not showing any surprise at all. He stared at Ning Xi's pretty face and said quietly, "Absolutely impossible!"
"Five million!" Ning Xi spread out her right hand, her slender fingers as beautiful and charming as white jade carvings, and said, "This price is enough to buy a hundred Qinghe families."
Wen Liang laughed and said, "But five million can't buy even a hair of mine!"
Ning Xi smiled with a hint of ridicule: "Young man, modesty is a virtue of our people. We should know our own limitations..."
"Ning Xi!"
Ning Xiaoning frowned. As the most dazzling and beloved person of this generation in the family, Ning Xi not only did not have any bad behavior of a dandy boy, but because she was influenced by the different etiquette and social habits of China and the West, she never disappointed her elders in her dealings with others. Even if it was someone she hated, she would not say anything inappropriate to their face. But for some reason, she said such rude words to Wen Liang.
What's more, this person is her friend!
Ning Xi patted Ning Xiaoning's arm and told her to be calm.
Wen Liang nodded to indicate that it was okay for Ning Xiaoning, and drank his milk tea leisurely, chuckling, "I don't have many advantages, but one thing is that I never lose my temper with beautiful women, so it's useless to try to irritate me." He paused, "However, according to the rules of the Factual Negotiation Act, you have violated the rules!"
"Factual Negotiation? What is that?"
The two of them looked over at the same time, and Ning Xiaoning said expressionlessly: "Asking when I don't understand is also one of my strengths. Of course, the difference between me and someone else is that I have many strengths..."
"The factual negotiation method, or principled negotiation, was first proposed by the Center for Negotiation Studies at Harvard University. It summarizes the key to negotiation into four basic points: distinction, interest, choice, and standard. The so-called distinction is to distinguish between people and things, to be tough on facts and gentle on people, and to only argue about issues instead of attacking the other party. This is conducive to the progress of negotiations..."
Wen Liang patiently explained to Ning Xiaoning, "So your sister Ning Xi's attack on my personality just now has seriously violated the principle of distinction. This is very unprofessional!"
Ning Xi wanted to fight back with his own tactics, but she ended up getting pissed off. Well, you have something to say now, but who was the first to attack me, saying I don't understand idioms? But to be honest, she didn't think of using Harvard's negotiation rules to fight back. Although she was angry at the moment, she also had a faint admiration for Wen Liang's wit and knowledge.
This doesn't seem like something a sixteen-year-old boy would do. Well, okay, for a freak who can research the blue ocean theory, these are just small cases!
"Since you know Harvard's negotiation skills, the remaining problems will be easy to solve. I like dealing with 'professional' people."
The word "professional" emphasized her tone, which was obviously Ning Xi's irony towards Wen Liang. She turned to Ning Xiaoning and said, "Don't think it's too incredible that I want to control the company. Although you and he are good friends, or I may become friends with him, the second basic point of negotiation is interests. In other words, our focus should be on interests, not each other's positions! Wen Liang, am I right?"
"That's right! But Sister Ning Xi, you have to understand that there is nothing wrong with pursuing interests, but why is the third basic point after interests choice?" Wen Liang leaned forward, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the thick sunglasses and reach the depths of Ning Xi's eyes. This posture can not only maintain the sense of oppression from a distance, but also enhance the persuasiveness of words through body language. It is a little skill in negotiation. "Choice means that we should formulate different, optional plans in advance to avoid extreme and one-sided decisions caused by temporary decisions. Just like your proposal to hold a controlling stake, I personally understand that it should be to retaliate for the little argument outside just now... Sister Ning Xi, we are doing business, please don't leave me with the impression that 'Harvard is better than Wharton after all', that may be very unfair to your alma mater!"
Ning Xi felt like her lungs were about to explode. She finally understood an old saying: You pay to suffer!
It was not surprising that entrepreneurs were passionate and full of personality. She had also met many strange people during her internship, but she had never seen any entrepreneur being so disrespectful to investors. Could it be that, as the boy said, this investment was not that important to him
However, according to the investigation during this period, Qinghe is in the best time for development, and funding is a major problem that hinders Qinghe's development. Wen Liang may have other ways to raise hundreds of thousands or millions, but the amount of 5 million is a temptation that no one can refuse. Even though his suggestion of holding the shares touched his bottom line, the business world is a game of giving and taking, and Wen Liang's position and attitude are a bit too firm and hard.
Or is he still playing hard to get, trying to gain as much benefit as possible
Little boy, a collaborator with a big appetite, but no one likes him...
Ning Xi suddenly smiled, as if the anger and quarrel had never happened, and handed over the documents at hand, saying: "I can give up the controlling rights, but 49% of the shares is the bottom line."
"Oh," Wen Liang tapped his forehead and said, "I'm sorry, there may be some misunderstanding. This Qinghe is not owned by me alone. Another boss, Li Shengli, owns 30% of the shares, and I only own 70%."
"That's your problem," Ning Xi smiled like a little fox, "I think you can handle him, right?"
"Well, we may not be able to reach any conclusion today. I hope that we can all be calmer and more realistic next time we meet." Wen Liang stood up and said, "I hope you can read that development plan a few more times. Maybe you will understand that being so serious at this moment is absolutely necessary."
Ning Xi stood up and held out her hand, saying, "I will. Goodbye!"
Ning Xiaoning lowered her head helplessly. She didn't quite understand the main point and focus of the argument between the two, but she knew that there was no room for interruption at this time.
Are interests between people really that important
But among these two people, one is the sister whom she admires and likes the most since childhood, and the other is one of the most important friends in life. They are both extremely wise and mentally mature people. If this is the case, then what about herself? Will she become like this one day
Of course, she did not hate or despise such people. She just suddenly thought, if one day, she was wavering between someone and Xu Yao, what choice would she make
