Yang Xiaoyun and Yang Yishan suspected Bai Xiaosheng was relying on his background, especially after the initial presentation yielded no questions. Yang Xiaoyun directly addressed the expected price increase, but everyone deferred to Bai Xiaosheng. Bai Xiaosheng then requested a private discussion with Yang Xiaoyun, revealing his intention to negotiate a standardized cooperation template for all the gathered partners, surprising both Yang Xiaoyun and Yang Yishan.
Business negotiations typically occur one-on-one and in private to safeguard trade secrets. Disclosing the price from a prior collaboration forfeits leverage with subsequent companies. Thus, enterprises generally avoid simultaneous negotiations. Yang Xiaoyun, Yang Corporation's second-in-command, openly discussing price hikes and additional terms with the business delegation was already unconventional, defying standard negotiation practices. However, he hadn't anticipated someone even more unorthodox than himself—Bai Xiaosheng. Bai Xiaosheng proposed representing all current and potential partner companies to negotiate a single, unified price. This strategy was analogous to shifting from individual sales to wholesale purchasing in product distribution... Not only was Yang Yishan stunned into immobility, but even Yang Xiaoyun found himself momentarily speechless. Observing Bai Xiaosheng, both Yang Xiaoyun and his daughter exhibited a deep sense of

Bai Xiaosheng listened impassively, while Red Lotus swiftly sifted through pertinent information within his mind, encompassing international market price shifts for related commodities and all relevant data.

Initially, after Yang Xiaoyun concluded each point, he would inquire about Bai Xiaosheng’s assessment with a smile.

Bai Xiaosheng simply offered a smile in return. "Please continue. I shall make a note of it. As for the pricing, I intend to discuss it all at once after you have finished."

Yang Xiaoyun was immediately taken aback and cautioned Bai Xiaosheng, "All at once at the end? Mr. Bai, do you realize the sheer volume of information I intend to present? Can you possibly retain it all?"

"I will remember every detail."

Bai Xiaosheng nodded with a smile, his expression suggesting nothing would escape his notice.

Yang Xiaoyun had no choice but to proceed.

After presenting one point, he couldn't resist asking again.

Bai Xiaosheng provided the same reply.

Following this pattern, after the third instance, Bai Xiaosheng’s seemingly cavalier attitude began to irk Yang Xiaoyun.

Very well, you insist on discussing everything later. I shall elaborate further. If you happen to forget by then, it will surely be quite an embarrassment for you!

Yang Xiaoyun steeled himself and proceeded to speak at length.

Thus, Yang Xiaoyun spoke for a full half-hour. He then paused, took a sip of tea, and addressed Bai Xiaosheng with a smile, "Mr. Bai, did I perhaps speak too rapidly? If listening alone proves challenging for recall, I can arrange for related materials to be brought to you. However, there is an abundance of documentation, and I fear its sheer volume might necessitate considerable reading time, thereby delaying our negotiation proceedings and keeping our esteemed merchant companions waiting. Perhaps you should notify them of a potential delay?"
