Chapter 1246 Talking about business
Luo Mutian came to Xilingchen's office.
As the head of the first family in Yixi Kingdom, he used to be in China, wherever he went, and he was full of pomp. But today when he came to the Lianghu Chamber of Commerce, he was like the most ordinary businessman, with only one follower around him and acting as secretary.
I honestly registered the visitor at the front desk, and then followed the other party's procedures throughout the process. They were sometimes taken to the east and sometimes led to the west, and even the follower gradually showed impatience. However, Luo Mutian still smiled at others with a good temper and handed a cigarette.
After being told by the staff that President Xiling was processing the documents, he was waiting outside the door honestly without any complaints.
Being able to bend and stretch may be one of his advantages.
The Luo family will naturally not be smooth sailing until now. Whether it is relying on the Blood Cloud Hall or winning over the five major families, it can reflect Luo Mutian's judgment of the situation. When necessary, he will bend down to others and look like an obedient slave.
But even when he was servile, his bones never bend. What he thought was to accumulate energy temporarily and pull the other party down one day!
It took about an hour before Xilingchen officially invited him into the room.
Luo Mutian left his entourage outside the door and stepped into the office alone.
The room environment is very good, and all the decorations are the most exquisite, but somehow, when he stepped into it, he felt an unspeakable sense of oppression, which made him not even know where to put his hands and feet.
In the past, he had been in the western country of Yixi, even in the palace more than once. He thought he was accustomed to the world, but he had never experienced this kind of depression.
Perhaps because the owner of this office is far from his identity today. He is still the leader of the small country, but the other party is already a famous businessman who is on par with the Mohist business and stomping his feet to shock the world.
At this time, Xilingchen leaned on the wide sofa chair, crossed his hands, and looked at him in a very provocative manner.
"Mr. Luo from Yixiguo, right? I have long admired Daming." He winked at the chair he was moving in front of him, "Come and sit."
Both of them were born in the western country of Wei. Now they meet in a foreign country. When the fellow villagers meet, they don’t see any "tears" at all.
A strange atmosphere was always filled with around. Perhaps it was the shock caused by the first collision between the two people, which had been reversed, in this closed room.
Luo Mutian moved his steps stiffly, walked forward step by step, and sat on the chair prepared for him. Then, he cleared his throat and first called out a name that shocked Xiling Chen Meifeng.
"Mr. Xiling."
It is really rare to call out "Sir" respectfully to a junior who is old enough to be his son. But with Xilingchen's current achievements, he can indeed afford it.
"I came here today to discuss a business with the Two Lakes Chamber of Commerce."
"...But first, I want to apologize to Mr. Xiling." Luo Mutian hesitated for a while, but still started the most difficult topic. "At that time, our Luo family could not stop the young master of Xiling North from losing his life, and in the subsequent Xiling clan family and the division war, he also chose to stand by and watch, resulting in the division of the family being completely defeated. I have always felt guilty..."
When the Blood Cloud Hall Blood Skeleton, as the helper of the division, went to the western country of the universe in person, but Luo Chenxing had just used a trick to kill a member of the Blood Cloud Hall in the magic weapon war not long ago. In order to avoid being seen, the Luo family at that time was too late to hide from the Blood Skeleton.
In addition, compared with the Luo family, the Xiling branch has a humble status and is really not worthy of the Luo family's intervention. However, today's situation is overturned.
If he wants to cooperate with the Two Lakes Chamber of Commerce, what Luo Mutian is most worried about is that Xilingchen is still holding a grudge against the destruction of his family. This topic cannot be avoided, and he can only make it clear in advance, hoping that by sincere apology, he can let him go.
Xilingchen heard his hesitant apology, but there was no turmoil on his face. He searched the documents on the desktop for a while, took out a form, and pushed it in front of Luo Mutian.
"Stop saying that these are useless."
"Aren't you going to negotiate a business? First fill in the letter of cooperation intention, the cooperation project, start-up capital, operation cycle, etc., and all of them are clearly listed. Then prepare a copy of your Luo family's business information and make a backup. If there is no problem in the approval of these documents, you can start cooperation."
Luo Mutian was surprised. Looking at the letter of intent he handed over, it was indeed a formal document format. I didn’t know if he was really talking about business or was playing tricks on himself?
"Mr. Xiling... really don't hold a grudge against my Luo family?" He asked again hesitantly.
Xilingchen did not hide it. He leaned on the back of the chair and said in a plain tone: "If I were in your position back then, I wouldn't have taken action. Since it was something I could not do myself, what qualifications would I have to ask others to do it?"
Originally, he always thought that after he was rich and powerful, the first thing he had to do was to destroy the Xiling clan family and regain the status of the family as the head of the family, and then to avenge Ye Shuo. Unexpectedly, when these two things were really within reach, he felt that he didn't care much.
His identities have different horizons and different horizons. Now he is no longer the unknown man who has narrow hatred, "Killing Young Master Ye", but a key figure in the center of the world's economic center. In his hands, he has to spend more than one billion yuan in funds every day, so how can he have the leisure to worry about those mediocre people anymore?
Seeing that his expression was not like a joke, Luo Mutian felt relieved and began to fill out the form carefully.
During this period, Xilingchen always looked at him casually. He said half as a joke, half as a warning:
"The Luo family was originally in Yixiguo, but I was an absolute underground giant. But now I have several people in charge of the underground market. If you perform poorly, you will lose your cooperative identity at any time. I would like to remind you first."
Luo Mutian smiled bitterly, only to feel that every time he wrote, he was weighing a thousand pounds. Seeing that he didn't answer, Xilingchen asked with interest:
"Speaking of this, what's going on in the current situation in Yixi? Are the five major families still the five major families of that year?"
Luo Mutian could hear that the Xiling family was the main question he wanted to ask. He laughed dryly and could only answer truthfully:
"The times are progressing, and the flowers are contending, and the status of our Luo family and the five major families is becoming less and less as before."
"The fastest growing in China now is the new Dingtian Sect. Its predecessor is the seven major sects in the Dingtian Mountains. I didn't expect that a remote place could actually emerge from the crisis of destruction and have its current status. This is really a serf's turnaround..."
Speaking of this, he chose to remain silent in time. Remembering that Xilingchen was also from a humble background, but now he has completely turned over and made a decision. Talking about this to him seemed to be a deliberate sarcasm.
Xilingchen seemed to have not heard it and smiled faintly, "Is that right? The Luo family is not good? So I found me, hoping to use my Lianghu Chamber of Commerce to help you regain your position?"
Luo Mutian sighed: "This is one of the reasons... In addition, I have been thinking about it. The Luo family in the past had the best relationship with the Xiling family. Naturally, I also hope to restore friendship with Mr. Xiling..."
In this sentence, even with the thickness of his face, his face turned red.
Even if the Luo family and the Xiling family really have friendship, then the good partner is definitely the Zong family rather than the division. If you have a good relationship with the Zong family, what's wrong with the Xilingchen? Then half of the Zong family is his enemy.
Even though he knew it was inappropriate, he could only say this. The Luo family and the Lianghu Chamber of Commerce now have a very different status. If it weren't for the old acquaintances of that year, he would probably not even have the qualifications to cooperate. Therefore, he could only grasp the only intersection and make a big fuss.
"Also, the Dogzi Luo Chenxing is now practicing at the Tiangong Gate. When he succeeds in his cultivation, he will inevitably become a strong man in one place. It can also complement each other for the future development of the Two Lakes Chamber of Commerce. Please also ask Mr. Xiling to be able to remember this friendship between the two generations..."
Xilingchen smiled, pressed his palm slightly, interrupting him: "Mr. Luo, I don't know if you are older and have become more and more emotional? Since you entered the door, you have almost always kept the word "friendship" on your lips."
"I'll repeat it to you," at this moment, he was calm and his shopping mall planning was fully demonstrated. "I am an authentic businessman, everything is in business. I don't care what the other party has to do with me. I only value how much benefits he can bring to me. As long as the interests are in place, I can cooperate with him even if it is an enemy. But if the other party is not qualified, even if it is a close relative or friend, I will not cooperate with him."
"Mr. Luo doesn't need to ask what kind of relationship your Luo family and me are, because it doesn't matter."
"From this moment, all you need to consider is how to make money for me. If you make enough money, I will naturally give you a satisfactory reply."
These words completely eliminated Luo Mutian's idea of friendship. In the second half of the meeting, he just filled out the form in a regular manner, handed it to Xilingchen for preliminary inspection, and bowed to him again, then turned around and left.
Looking at his back, Xilingchen leaned himself completely into the chair, supporting his head with the back of the chair, and looked very comfortable.
And his heart was far more comfortable than what he showed.
At that time, the Luo family was an absolute behemoth in Yixi, and even the royal family had to rely on it. If it were usual, he would have been a small family member, so he would have to look up at the head of the Luo family in the crowd, and he would never look at him more.
Unexpectedly, one day, people whom I had no contact with would talk to me in a low voice.
It's really satisfying. This is the dignity and satisfaction brought by status...
Just now, he didn't want to humiliate Luo Mutian. But he couldn't accept the change in the gap between the two, and his self-esteem in his bones made him humiliate himself.
Fortunately, this man looked to be able to bear it. Although this sense of shame filled his blood all over his body and made him want to turn around and leave at all times, he was able to sit there smoothly and fill out the letter of cooperation intention. Even his handwriting was neat and uncontaminated.
Because he knew that he had to rely on the status of the Two Lakes Chamber of Commerce. His temporary dignity, compared with the prospects of the Luo family, was worthless.
Oh, very good, this is the collaborator you like, who can clearly know what you need and what you don’t need. In order to get what you need, you can tolerate humiliation that ordinary people cannot tolerate...
"Help me contact the newspaper and send out the news that I am going to cooperate with Boss Luo. I want to warm up in advance." After leaning in the chair and enjoying enough, Xilingchen slowly sat upright and ordered Liu Mo who was waiting aside, "Didn't he take the business card of that young reporter before? What's the name Song Qianqian? Give it to me."
Listening to him asking for Song Qianqian's contact information, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed across Liu Mo's face, and she did not hide it, raised her head angrily and threw it away: "I tore it! I threw it away!"
"President, you need to contact the newspaper and contact the president directly. Why do you want to find her?" Then, she walked to Xilingchen and acted coquettishly with a "righteous reputation". "You can't see what the woman has intended for you!"
Xilingchen was really laughed and laughed by her for a moment: "I said you... assisting the boss in handling the contact matters is one of your jobs, right?"
Liu Mo said with confidence: "But helping the boss eliminate unnecessary contact is also one of my job!"
Judging from her appearance, she really thought she had any special relationship with her, and even started to rule out competitors. Xilingchen was helpless and funny, but seeing the beautiful secretary being jealous is also a kind of charm. Song Qianqian is not an important person, so let her go.
"Then you go and contact the president. By the way, help me meet Mr. Shengyuan Group, and have a meal together these days."
Liu Mo knew that Xilingchen and Mr. Sheng had a good relationship - when you were rich, everyone was your friends - and more importantly, in a while, it would be the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Shengyuan Group's new factory. At this time, he consolidated his friendship with him in order to gain popularity in advance. She had long been familiar with the president's actions.
At this moment, she also walked away slowly with the winner's smile.
The president's intimate person is indeed the only one who is herself. Is that Song Qianqian good? From now on, she will never be a threat again. She has been approaching the president with deliberate intentions, but in the end she will be in vain.
...
On the other hand, Luo Mutian walked out of Xilingchen's office, and the entourage who was waiting outside immediately stepped forward to help him carry his bag.
"Mr. Luo, how are you talking?" The entourage asked with concern when he saw his bad expression.
Luo Mutian sighed heavily and answered only one sentence:
"The Xiling family has produced an amazing person!"
If the Luo family had not been declining and it was difficult to enter the world stage, he would not have wanted to be so humble and ask for cooperation from a junior.
It was my father who was incompetent and let Chen Xing stay alone at the Tiangong Gate without family power to rely on.
Now, I still have to rely on Chen Xing in reverse.
As long as he stands out at the Tiangong Gate, the Luo family... can follow him and be completely proud!
