Upon hearing Lin Yun's words, Little Mei hurriedly set off to follow his instructions.
However, before Little Mei had even been gone long, a voice forcefully interrupted their conversation.
"Step aside! You lowly security guards, you're nothing but dogs. I represent Hualong Group. I'm here to discuss an important project with your boss. Do you think you can bear the responsibility if this project fails? Be careful, after I see your boss, I will make sure you're all fired!" An arrogant voice rang out.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yun frowned.
"You're from Hualong Group?"
Lin Yun approached the entrance to see an arrogant young man in a suit speaking rudely to their security guards, he calmly asked.
Meanwhile, there were whispers and hushed conversations around them, indistinctly audible to Lin Yun's ears.
"Only someone from Hualong Group could act so brazenly..."
"Yes, Hualong Group is the biggest mobile phone brand in Huaxia, with annual sales of over a hundred million, a number that's astonishingly high even on a global scale..."
"If Lin collaborates with Hualong Group, he could make a significant profit. He surely wouldn't miss out on such a profitable opportunity..."
Some people were voicing their thoughts.
They themselves did not have the nerve to be so aggressive, not when they were seeking collaboration, not when they were relatively powerless compared to the other party.
"Boss."
"Boss."
Seeing Lin Yun emerge, both Little Mei and the bodyguards respectfully called out to him.
"Mr. Lin, nice to meet you. I represent Hualong Group." Seeing Lin Yun, the cocky young man softened his tone with a slight smile.
The seemingly polite tone sharply contrasted his earlier arrogance, as though it didn't belong to him at all.
However, upon closer inspection, one could detect a subtle hint of haughtiness in his speech and behavior.
Being associated with Hualong Group, the largest mobile phone brand in Huaxia, wherever he went, countless manufacturers were desperate to work with them. It gave him the right to be haughty.
At that moment, the young man felt a sense of superiority stirring within him.
This project was extremely important to Hualong Group, and being selected as their representative wasn't surely due to his arrogant demeanor. He was confident that Lin Yun would agree to a collaboration with Hualong Group.
His previous behavior was merely a show of force to intimidate Lin Yun, so that when they negotiated the collaboration, Lin Yun would be intimidated and lower his expectations.
This was a negotiation strategy.
Admittedly, however, this strategy carried certain risks.
If Lin Yun ignored his aggressive demeanor and decided not to meet him, it would be a setback for him. Even if Lin Yun had no such thoughts, at the very least, it might reflect that Lin Yun didn't care that much about a collaboration with Hualong Group.
Ultimately, the marketplace was like a battlefield.
Negotiation was a psychological warfare.
The moment he was assigned this mission, the showdown had already begun.
Now that Lin Yun had appeared, he considered it a small victory for himself.
However, he had to maintain the utmost courtesy in his speech and approach, no matter what. After all, Lin Yun was a businessman of some stature, he wasn't some lowly security guard. Despite his rudeness earlier, he had to provide Lin with some leeway out of deference.
"Did you need something from me?" Lin Yun asked indifferently.
An unexpected reaction from Lin Yun made the young man raise an eyebrow.
Suddenly, something seemed to be amiss.
They had taken quite a lot from the other party, and now they could finally retaliate.
"Leave immediately! You're not welcome here!"
"We don't want to resort to forcing you out. It won't be pretty for you if we do!"
Then, the bodyguards surrounded them, barking orders sternly.
"You..."
The young man initially mistook Lin Yun's bodyguards for common security guards. Seeing a group of them trying to drive him out made him livid.
In his view, being a security guard was a lowly job. Having these lowly people treating representatives of a top-tier company like this was a major insult.
At this point, he had conveniently forgotten how rudely he treated these "security guards". Now, it was payback time.
"Mr. Lin, you probably don't realize, the one you're driving away could potentially represent several billion in pure profit..." The young man expressed desperately, addressing Lin Yun.
He refused to believe that the owner of a small manufacturing factory could turn away from such a massive profit.
Before his arrival, their company had investigated Lin Yun's background, who used to be just the owner of a small processing factory.
They also studied the sales figures of the Qiyun power bank.
Perhaps the Qiyun power bank sold well recently, but its profit margin remained unsure.
According to their experts' analysis, each Qiyun power bank yielded at most a thirty yuan profit.
Considering their aggressive marketing strategy, they could potentially be selling at a loss.
Assuming each power bank yielded a profit of thirty yuan, and given that ten million units were sold, the total profit would only amount to three hundred million yuan.
This was the maximum profit, and there was a likely chance that the actual amount was even less...
He couldn't believe that Lin Yun would not be tempted by several billion in pure profit.
Potential profits amounting to billions?
Upon hearing the young man's boast, Lin Yun's bodyguards were somewhat taken aback.
They knew collaboration with Hualong Group could yield significant profits, but it never occurred to them that the profits could reach such heights.
For a moment, they hesitated.
They were unsure if Lin Yun would be swayed by such a lucrative prospect.
The onlookers, too, held their breath in anticipation.
They wanted to see if Lin Yun would be tempted by this vast profit, and whether he would retract his previous words.
"Show them out!" To their disappointment, Lin Yun's expression remained unchanged upon hearing the young man's plea, and he merely retorted coldly.
"Out!" Find your next adventure on m_v l|e-novelhall.net
"Leave now!"
Hearing Lin Yun's words, the bodyguards perked up again, shouting with renewed confidence. In no time, a few of them stepped forward and began forcefully ushering the young man and a few others out.
"Despicable! We are representatives of Hualong Group, and you dare treat us like this! You will regret this! You will definitely regret this!" The young man yelled furiously as he was shoved towards the exit.
Upon witnessing this, many onlookers could not help but gasp in surprise.
He showed no interest in profits amounting to several billion yuan. He was totally unfazed!
It appears they would have to revise their negotiation plans accordingly.
