Chapter 1602: Decision

Liao Yongnan smiled.

"Mr. Lu, are you kidding? My colleagues worked overtime to get this contract. I promise that you will be satisfied with it."

Lu Chengwen's eyes were always on Liao Yongnan.

He slowly reached out, picked up the contract, and tore it open at a very slow pace.

Liu Ruyan and Liu Rufeng were both surprised.

He handed the torn contract to the female secretary: "Please, help me take out the trash."

Then he said to Liao Yongnan: "Mr. Liao, I have three characteristics in doing business. First, I am honest and keep my word; second, I am mutually beneficial and never kill anyone; third, I am efficient and never waste time."

Liao Yongnan looked at Lu Chengwen and nodded: "Mr. Lu has the demeanor of a great general, and his moves are indeed extraordinary."

"So..." Lu Chengwen shrugged: "It would be more appropriate for us to start directly from the second contract."

Liao Yongnan stared at Lu Chengwen for a long time... The whole office was silent, as if a button to stop time had been pressed.

Jiang Shihan and Chen Mengyun have long been accustomed to this kind of high-pressure negotiations.

Chen Mengyun lowered her head and fiddled with her nails, while Jiang Shihan looked calm.

Even the Liu sisters kept their composure.

Only Li Zhen was restless, sweat on his forehead and swallowing hard.

Li Zhen approached Lu Chengwen and said, "Mr. Lu, why don't we first listen to what new conditions the Southern Emperor will offer? I also discussed this with them yesterday..."

Lu Chengwen slapped Li Zhen's face with the document on the table.

Then he looked at him and said three words: "Sit back."

Li Zhen covered his face. He didn't expect Lu Chengwen to be so rude and actually slap him in the face in public during the negotiation. He didn't dare to turn hostile for a moment, but he had no idea how to save his face.

Lu Chengwen said again: "Sit back. Otherwise I will call the police. Once you are found out about your corporate espionage and taking kickbacks, and this involves a project with a 10 billion investment, do you think you will be able to get out of jail in this lifetime?"

Li Zhen panicked, sat back down, and muttered softly: "No... I'm not a spy."

Liao Yongnan laughed at himself and said, "Okay! Mr. Lu is a straightforward person. In this case, let's be simple and direct. Send out our final plan and take back the previous contract."

Liao Yongnan and Lu Chengwen, the two big bosses, still sat steadily, smiling and looking at each other calmly.

But Liao Yongnan was already at a disadvantage at this time.

Firstly, his first contract as a shield had been exposed, leaving him with less room for compromise, which put him at a great disadvantage.

Secondly, Li Zhen, this idiot, jumped too early and too awkwardly. Lu Chengwen probably saw through him a long time ago. If he revealed this identity at this time, he would be in a disadvantageous situation in terms of morality and rules.

Liao Yongnan said: "But Mr. Lu, please don't misunderstand. The relationship between us and Mr. Li is just a work relationship. I don't know who he has been a spy for. In Nanhuang, he is just a partner, nothing more."

"of course."

Lu Chengwen said, "I heard that Mr. Liao likes riding horses. I watched the video of your competition last night. You really are a hero, galloping like the wind."

Liao Yongnan laughed: "Boss Lu has done his homework. I also heard that Boss Lu's business in the North is booming, and your brother is also very influential in the South. Your father started from scratch and founded the Dasheng Group. Now you brothers are so capable. The Lu family has three heroes, which is admirable."

Lu Chengwen glanced at the forest.

Lin Jian smiled: "Boss Lu, Lin Jian has no plans to change his company. Since we are discussing business, it is better for everyone to abide by some rules. But there are some things that only the chairman and I know, and others don't know."

Lu Chengwen smiled slightly: "Thank you."

Lin Jian said provocatively: "For you, I specially wore a suit today. I hope Mr. Lu will be satisfied."

Lu Chengwen's smile slowly disappeared: "Let's talk about business."

Liao Yongnan's secretary began to introduce the specific cooperation mode, profit distribution and shareholding ratio of the project...

Then there was a verbal battle between the two teams.

The Tianxin team said that their investment amount reached 10 billion, but their share ratio was not high, and they could not get many related benefits, blah blah blah...

Since the people of the Southern Emperor want to cooperate, it should be mutually beneficial. They should give concessions to Tianxin in certain aspects, blah blah blah...

The people of Southern Emperor, on the other hand, emphasized that they had already invested a huge amount of money, as well as most of the technology, resources, manpower, maintenance... they were responsible for, and the cost was extremely high, so they should have a higher share of equity.

The dividend distribution model for Tianxin Group is already the most reasonable model in the industry, and the one that best reflects sincerity and partnership spirit. Blah blah blah…

There were two recesses in between.

Liu Rufeng and Liu Ruyan could only understand the general idea, which was that in many key areas, both sides were unwilling to make concessions.

Closed-door meeting.

Liu Rufeng and Liu Ruyan glared at Li Zhen.

Li Zhen's forehead was covered with sweat.

He looked at Liu Rufeng and Liu Ruyan, then walked up to Lu Chengwen and said nervously: "Mr. Lu... I... I really didn't become a spy. I am still loyal to Tianwu."

Lu Chengwen looked at Li Zhen:

"Of course you can't be a spy. Being a spy requires a very high IQ. You are just a fool who has been fooled and doesn't know what's going on. Do you think the benefits they give you come from their own pockets? They are just giving you a little bit of sweetness from Tianwu's interests!"

Li Zhen panicked: "I...I...just...I just thought, it would be a waste if I didn't take it...so I took a property and a car, and the rest...some high-end mobile phones and so on..."

Lu Chengwen opened his eyes wide and stared at him:

"Damn it! Li Zhen, I'm not surprised that you accepted some benefits from the other party, but you even accepted a small thing like a mobile phone. Aren't you too cheap?"

Lu Chengwen hit Li Zhen on the head with a ruler: "You are so shameless in taking kickbacks!"

Liu Rufeng's cheeks puffed up with anger: "Li Zhen, get back to Tianwu right now! Immediately! Right now!"

"Ugh!"

Lu Chengwen stopped Liu Rufeng and said with a smile: "It's okay. In fact, these are all unspoken rules in the business world. Didn't I also agree to give Lin Jian some benefits?"

Liu Rufeng said, "I get so angry when I mention this. Lin Jian turned against us halfway through. He promised something good, but then he changed his mind. He is a two-faced guy!"

"We are all the same. All's fair in war!"

Lu Chengwen said, "Li Zhen didn't take much, just a piece of property and a car. It's not worth taking him back to Tianwu. If he goes back like this, he will be hung up and beaten to death, right?"

Li Zhen cried: "Saint, Mr. Lu, I know I was wrong, please don't let me go back to Tianwu, I... I am really not a traitor, I was just confused for a moment, I saw the benefits and couldn't resist the temptation, please give me a chance to make up for my crime..."

Lu Chengwen looked at him: "Hahaha, Li Zhen, how about this."

"H-what?"

Lu Chengwen put his arm around his shoulders, and Li Zhen was so scared that he wanted to curl up into a ball.

Lu Chengwen pinched his cheek and said, "Let's make a bet. If I can make this deal today, you will continue to be the vice president of Tianwu, and I guarantee you an annual salary of tens of millions and a lot of money. But if we can't make this deal..."

Lu Chengwen looked at him and said, "You should go back to Tianwu and receive the super package of punishment for being a traitor."

Then he glared and said, “It’s decided!”
