It's even a bit overwhelming.
"Everything is negotiable. If you want anything or set any conditions, we can come together."
Just like you said, doing business requires give and take. If I immediately refuse 467, you won't stop haggling.
The lingering assassin was much more relaxed with him, no longer aggressive, and appeared to be easy to talk to.
Xu Lei felt helpless seeing him like this. Wasn't this guy just being a jerk?
I tried to reason with him, but he wouldn't listen and just made me lose my temper.
He only realized he was afraid when he turned to leave, which was utterly frustrating.
"I just wanted you to understand that you have to have a conscience when doing things. This batch of goods is very important to my friend."
And it's hard to wait any longer, so I hope you can be lenient. These are just my thoughts.
As for future profit sharing, we can discuss that.
Chapter 472 Worthless
Xu Lei crossed his arms, his eyes gleaming with shrewdness, after all, Old Pete had initially only regarded Xu Lei as a little kid.
I thought he knew nothing about these things, so I just wanted to scare him out of his wits.
But now it seems things are much worse than they imagined, so they must handle this matter properly.
"Of course, all of these are negotiable. I've said it before, it's such a big shipping route."
There are so many ships coming and going, your men must have accidentally seized your friend's ship.
Tell me his name, and I'll call my men right now. Is that valuable? You can take it back.
He tried to push the money back, but the more he did so, the more Xu Lei felt a chill run down his spine.
I wonder what terrible thing he might do, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"There's no such thing as a free lunch, Mr. Pete is suddenly being so generous."
I'm sure you have other thoughts on this too. It's better to be straightforward; I'm a direct person and don't like beating around the bush.
After you finish speaking, don't just smile slightly; it's as if you want to tell the other person everything, even though everything is negotiable.
But I don't want to have complete control of everything so quickly.
Xu Lei only wanted to exchange one item for another, but Yi Liulian's sudden generosity made Xu Lei wary.
Hong Xinxin came to buy him water again. Xu Lei had drunk so much that he wondered what kind of trick this woman was up to.
Although Xu Lei didn't smell anything unusual in the water, he guessed that the woman just wanted to linger in front of him.
He thought that if he could get aroused by lust, the matter would be easier to negotiate.
"Since you don't want this free lunch, in order to put your mind at ease and to allow our business to continue for a longer period of time, we'd like to..."
"Well then, I've found a piece of land I like in your city center, but we've been negotiating for a year and there's been no progress at all."
Xu Lei took a deep breath as he thought of this; the land planning in the city center was extremely strict.
Moreover, industrial land is extremely scarce, and now he suddenly wants me to go to the city center.
This is clearly setting a difficult task for himself, meaning he wants Xu Lei to back down.
I never expected this guy to actually know how to ask for an exorbitant amount, putting me in such a difficult position right from the start.
"What's wrong? Is there something troubling you? Of course, I've been talking about it for a year now."
I don't expect Mr. Xu to reach an agreement immediately; that place isn't too difficult to negotiate.
There's one family that's not really willing to relocate; I wonder if Mr. Xu can use some tricks to get them to agree.
Old Pete was digging his own grave. Xu Lei immediately realized that negotiating with this kind of old fox required constant caution.
One wrong step and you could fall into the pit he's set, which is both frustrating and shocking.
I thought everything was resolved through negotiations, but I never imagined things would turn out this way.
Therefore, his tone carried a hint of helplessness, hoping that the other party would carefully consider what he had said.
However, it's not that high; Xu Lei has now laid everything out in the open.
The point is to make the other party understand that if they are willing, then we can definitely continue the discussion.
But if they try anything funny, Xu Lei will definitely not agree again.
Chapter 473 Temptation
"Mr. Pete, you really have some tricks up your sleeve. You know perfectly well that it's a piece of land in the city center, but you've been negotiating for a year and still haven't managed to close the deal."
Then you're handing this hot potato to me, aren't you putting me in a bit of a difficult position?
I'm just a young man, although I can say a few words here and there.
He's not so powerful that he has connections everywhere. As for the land in the city center, I can only say that I'll try my best.
But if you're trying to use this as leverage to blackmail me, I probably can't agree.
Xu Lei immediately told the other party that he understood his tactics and would not try to show off just because of a few words from him.
The assassin, Hong Xinxin, simply bent down to reveal her impressive figure, seemingly trying to seduce him.
"Mr. Xu, you're so capable, there's nothing you 470 couldn't do. I've heard of your great name since I was in Europe, but now you're going to refuse me?"
When she talked about Hong Xinxin's eye problem, she gave a seductive look, hoping to persuade Xu Lei to agree to her request.
Only then did I realize that seizing Gao Qiqiang's goods was secondary.
It turns out he wanted to use this opportunity to get her to actually agree to his unreasonable request.
Xu Lei thought about it and realized that the plot of land in the city center should be part of the Green Home development. He had seen it before.
However, he knew that this matter was extremely difficult, so he would never agree rashly.
Xu Lei was well aware that acquiring the Green Home land would require a great deal of effort.
Therefore, after weighing the two options, one of them must be abandoned or reconsidered.
This will be an extremely difficult decision for them, although Xu Lei thought of Gao Qiqiang.
But she wouldn't fall into the other party's trap like that. Hong Xinxin was still there, speaking in a tone that pretended to be full of admiration.
"There's nothing you, Mr. Xu, can't handle. If you hadn't helped, this land would have remained untouched."
We are unable to proceed with the project any further. Could you perhaps find someone to mediate between us?
This way, it's a win-win situation for both of us, and we can better discuss the matter of your goods.
Only then did Xu Lei understand Old Pete's purpose, but Xu Lei understood it.
(bhbj) There are just too many people and things involved in this matter, and if I were to intervene...
It's very likely that there won't be a conclusion or a final decision so quickly, so I can't help but feel a little anxious. I just hope they can get this over with as soon as possible.
"You flatter me too much. This matter involves a large number of people."
Moreover, the problems that may be encountered in the process will increase. On the contrary, do you really think I am a god?
If this can really help you or me, I'll definitely do it without hesitation. It's something I can easily do myself.
But now it seems that this is not something that can be easily let go of.
It might involve a lot of procedures and personnel, and I don't think I have that kind of ability.
After he finished speaking, there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes, because Xu Lei knew all too well.
If we were to win this project, the issues involved would be incredibly complex.
Moreover, Old Pete was clearly setting himself up for a difficult task, regardless of whether the other party wanted him to back down.
They were still trying to use this opportunity to hurt him, but Xu Lei wouldn't fall for it.
It's impossible to just shirk responsibility so easily.
Therefore, there was a hint of wariness in his eyes, and he wanted the other person to understand that he was no longer as simple and innocent as he had imagined.
Chapter 474 A Long-cherished Wish
"Although this matter seems very simple, it has given us a great warning."
Don't think that just because of a few things, we're controlled by Grandma.
"You're also very anxious about the shipping matter, so I hope you'll reconsider, Mr. Xu."
After saying this, Old Pete made a gesture as if to show the guests out.
Xu Lei had already given them his terms, and he simply nodded slightly, saying he would think of a solution later.
After Xu Lei left, Hong Xinxin's eyes showed a hint of embarrassment. She had thought that her involvement would make things easier.
But to my surprise, that guy was completely unyielding.
"I didn't expect Xu Lei to be so resolute, not giving me even the slightest chance. If I had known this would happen..."
After saying that, there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes, hoping that the other party could achieve his wish in a more tactful way.
However, she hadn't expected things to turn out this badly, so there was a hint of helplessness and embarrassment in her eyes.
Old Pete hadn't expected Xu Lei to be so wary at such a young age; he'd been talking for quite a while.
He had no recourse, so he couldn't help but have a different plan and opinion about Xu Lei.
Another warning came to mind.
"Xu Lei is more capable than we imagined, and the place he occupies is far more complex than we thought. Now we've just become passive."
Old Pete thought he could use these conditions and demands to blackmail the other party, but he didn't expect things to turn out this way.
He himself was in a passive position, which shows that Xu Lei's methods were extraordinary.
Moreover, the impact and shock caused were greater than one could have imagined.
His eyes held a hint of admiration, and a touch of surprise at this man.
"He is truly extraordinary. I had heard of Xu Lei's great name before."
I didn't expect that after getting to know them for a while, they were actually much more capable than I had anticipated.
"He's very capable, and our affairs can't be interrupted; we have to plan everything carefully according to all the procedures, and absolutely avoid any conflicts."
Old Pete didn't want to make a big deal out of it; he just wanted to take this opportunity to quickly secure the Green Home delivery package.
This presents Xu Lei with this difficult problem, regardless of whether Xu Lei can ultimately accomplish it.
Old Pete knew that Xu Lei was someone he absolutely could not mess with; his skills were far superior to his own.
· ······Requesting flowers· ········
The losses incurred in the process were also immeasurable in a short time.
This was the most difficult part for him. As soon as Xu Lei entered the room after returning home...
Gao Qiqiang and Xiaoqiang rushed over and asked Xu Lei how he was doing.
"That guy didn't give you any trouble, did he?"
Seeing this, Xu Lei simply waved his hand, telling the other person to calm down.
.... ....... ...
"I didn't make things too difficult for him, but this old Pete is also a bad guy, giving him a lot of leverage."
And this time he also gave me a difficult problem: he could release the goods.
Moreover, there would be no additional costs; the money would remain firmly in his grasp. Gao Qiqiang knew that Old Pete wasn't after money.
It was something else entirely. After considering all this, Xu Lei had his own plans.
Gao Qiqiang quickly pressed for more information.
"If he wants something else that he didn't value before, what could he possibly value?"
Gao Qiqiang was completely baffled as to what the old man was doing.
He has already lowered his stance, but Old Pete is still relentlessly pursuing him.
How could Gao Qiqiang swallow this insult? Xu Lei only told Gao Qiqiang to calm down and not think too much about it.
Chapter 475 is too mean!
