Chapter 1009 I Cut Myself with a Knife
Just as representatives of South Korea's construction union were discussing strategies for the next round of negotiations.
The senior executives of Daqin International who were sitting opposite them all stood up.
Zheng Zaipu and others turned their heads and looked towards the entrance of the conference room.
I saw a group of people walking in from outside the meeting room.
Leading the group was a woman who exuded confidence and elegance when she first walked into the office.
The woman was wearing a well-tailored light blue suit jacket. The lines of the jacket were smooth and crisp, perfectly outlining her capable yet feminine figure.
The collar of the coat is simple and elegant, slightly open, revealing the white silk shirt underneath. The collar of the shirt is neatly tied with an exquisite silver tie, which maintains the formality of the workplace while retaining the exquisiteness and fashion in the details.
"President, that is the CEO of Daqin International, Dai Jiajia, right?"
When An Quantao saw Dai Jiajia, he was stunned.
Although the other person was a woman, the aura she exuded was no weaker than that of the Korean chaebol chairman he had met.
After seeing Dai Jiajia and others enter and take their seats.
The on-site translator stood up and began to introduce the people from both sides to each other.
"Boss Dai, this is the president of the Korean Construction Union, Zheng Zaipu. Next to him is the vice president of the Construction Union, An Quantao."
Zheng Zai Pu and An Quan Tao raised their chins towards Dai Jiajia with a proud look on their faces as a greeting.
"President Zheng... Vice President An, this is our Daqin International CEO Dai Jiajia, Ms. Dai."
Dai Jiajia nodded slightly as a greeting.
Then she glanced at her phone, put it on the table, and spoke to the translator.
"No need to wait, let's get started now."
Secretary Wang Yun, who was sitting next to Dai Jiajia, took out a document from her briefcase.
She handed the document to her boss.
Dai Jiajia took the document, glanced at it quickly, and then said to Zheng Zaipu.
"President Zheng, regarding your previous request for a 10% salary increase, our Daqin International Group..."
“Wait!”
Before Dai Jiajia finished speaking, Zheng Zai Pu raised his hand to stop her from speaking.
Dai Jiajia frowned slightly and looked at the translator.
"what happened?"
The translator was also confused and turned to ask Zheng Zaipu.
"President Zheng, what do you mean?"
Zheng Zaipu said slowly, "The document in your President Dai's hand is outdated. Our Korean Construction Union discussed it overnight and re-worked the negotiation details."
The translator was stunned and translated Zheng Zai Pu's words to Dai Jiajia truthfully.
Dai Jiajia's expression changed slightly and asked.
"Why didn't you tell us in advance about the new negotiation terms? Instead, you proposed it without any preparation at the meeting?"
Zheng Zai Pu answered nonchalantly.
"Boss Dai, negotiation is a game of chess. You manage a trillion-dollar company called Daqin International. You don't know this little negotiation skill, do you?"
Dai Jiajia sneered.
"Okay, state your conditions..."
Shi Yun, the head of Daqin International's Korean project and general manager of the group's overseas affairs, analyzed to Dai Jiajia.
"Boss Dai, I'm afraid they're going to ask for a huge salary increase, adding another 10% to the original 10%, for a total salary increase of 20%."
As soon as Shi Yun finished speaking, Zheng Zai Pu stretched out two fingers and made a two gesture.
When Shi Yun saw this, it was exactly as he had guessed.
He said in a cold voice, "President Zheng, you are going too far. You just move your fingers and ask for 20% of the salary. This is no different from robbery!"
Zheng Zaipu smiled slightly and said.
"Boss Shi, you misunderstood me. My "two" does not mean adding 20%."
Shi Yun was stunned.
What does that mean? It's not a 20% increase, but a 2% increase?
Zheng Zai Pu faced the translator and spoke word by word.
"Please translate my words carefully and don't make any mistakes."
The translator quickly picked up his notebook and got ready.
Zheng Zaipu paused and said, "On behalf of all members of the Korean Construction Union, I would like to ask the China Daqin International Group to raise the collective salary by 200%!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the tip of the pencil in the translator's hand suddenly broke.
He looked at Zheng Jae Park with disbelief.
"President Zheng... President Zheng, what did you say? I may not have heard you clearly. Please repeat it again."
Zheng Zaipu smiled and said.
"Don't worry, you heard me right. I didn't say anything wrong. What we're asking for is a 200% salary increase!"
Upon hearing this, the translator's face suddenly turned pale.
He swallowed saliva frantically, trying to organize his words and translate to Dai Jiajia and others.
"Mr. Dai... Mr. Dai, Chairman Zheng, he asked Daqin International to increase the salary of all Korean employees by 200%..."
After these words were spoken, everyone in Daqin International fell silent.
Everyone looked at each other, thinking they had heard wrongly.
Shi Yun asked, "Did you translate it wrong? How much do they want to increase by 200%?"
The translator nodded repeatedly, looking as if it was none of his business and that he was just a translator.
"Boss Shi, I...I have confirmed with him, it is 200%."
All the senior executives of Daqin International burst out in anger.
“Fuck…”
"Fuck..."
"Fuck..."
And so on, warm greetings to our friends in the Construction Union of South Korea.
Dai Jiajia’s face turned pale.
"How dare you make such a request? Don't you want to talk anymore?"
Zheng Zai Pu crossed his hands in front of his chest and said calmly, "Boss Dai, a 200% increase is in line with our national conditions. You should know how difficult it is to recruit workers in Korea now. Everyone can make money by lying at home and buying stocks. No one is willing to go out to work anymore. As the saying goes, there are more people than work, so it is normal to increase the salary."
"Whether it's easy for others to make money or not has nothing to do with Daqin International. Can this be a reason for you to raise salaries? If someone wants to make money without doing anything, let them go home and we will just recruit more people."
"Haha, Mr. Dai, I'm afraid there are more than one or two people who have this idea. If he leaves, all your projects will be paralyzed!"
"Are you threatening me with collective resignation?"
"Hehe, we dare not. You are a big tycoon of China, and we are just workers. How dare we go against the tycoon? However, if we are really pushed to the limit, I am afraid that everyone would rather resign than suffer this humiliation!"
Dai Jiajia's face darkened and she said nothing.
The other senior executives of Daqin International also remained silent, and all of them looked unhappy.
The two sides remained in silence for about five minutes.
Zheng Zai Pu saw that the grinding was almost done, so he spoke.
"Boss Dai, it's our union's fault for temporarily changing the salary plan today. So, I'll use my reputation to cut the salary increase. I don't want 200%. I'll give you a 5% discount! Just a 100% increase will be fine!"
Zheng Zaipu finished speaking and smiled proudly.
My move is both real and fake, and it will make you, a little girl, dizzy!
