Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2754 - 1957: Only One Chance
Previously on Inheritance of Two Trillion...
Santos temporarily leaves the meeting, exiting the large conference room to report to his superiors the solution proposed by Bai Xiaosheng.
The people who came with Santos also took the opportunity to leave, giving the space in the conference room to Bai Xiaosheng and his team.
After closing the door, Fei’er, filled with joy, eagerly moved closer and praised Bai Xiaosheng in a low voice.
"Mr. Bai, you are truly amazing! You managed to completely control the pace of the conversation in front of Mr. Santos! Not only did you refute the unfavorable remarks against us, leaving Mr. Santos speechless, but you also offered such an excellent solution. I believe we’ll return victorious soon!"
Fei’er was exceptionally optimistic.
Mollya couldn’t help but give two thumbs up with an excited expression.
Bai Xiaosheng looked at the sisters, simply smiled lightly, and asked softly, "In such a short time, I managed to convince Santos, the business representative of Kustiel. What does that indicate to you?"
Bai Xiaosheng asked this question abruptly.
Fei’er maintained her smile, blinked, not quite understanding Bai Xiaosheng’s meaning, but still tentatively replied, "It indicates... you are very capable?"
Bai Xiaosheng didn’t seem like a narcissist. They had just praised him, so why did this sound like fishing for compliments?
Mollya seemed to have a sudden epiphany and immediately said, "Are you trying to tell us that the key to successful negotiation is thorough preparation, avoiding battles unprepared, thus bringing success closer?"
Fei’er glanced at Mollya, seemingly understanding now, hurriedly adding, "Is it about empathy! Before engaging in high-level dialogue, you need to envision being the other party, understanding what interests them and their demands, then targeting the discussion to impact them maximally in the shortest time!"
Mollya couldn’t help but nod repeatedly in agreement.
Bai Xiaosheng sighed helplessly and looked at Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying.
Fei’er and Mollya instinctively looked towards them.
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying had already grown somewhat impatient.
"It indicates that the other party already had this intention, and Mr. Bai Xiaosheng’s words hit the nail on the head for them."
"Mr. Santos’s so-called request for instructions is mostly just for show."
Fei’er and Mollya looked at each other in shock.
They hadn’t thought of that!
However, after Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying’s reminder, upon careful thought, it indeed seemed to be the case!
Fei’er couldn’t help but look at Bai Xiaosheng with astonished eyes.
Did he think of this from the beginning?
Could it be, during the conversation just now, he realized Santos had this intention and hence made such suggestions?
No way, she couldn’t see any of this.
If Bai Xiaosheng could achieve this level, then is he still human; he’s simply a monster!
Fei’er dared not believe.
Mollya shared the same expression.
Bai Xiaosheng had no time to bother about their thoughts; his brow furrowed slightly, "What concerns me the most is how strongly Kustiel wishes to reclaim the new port, is it just a ploy to make us invest more?"
Upon hearing Bai Xiaosheng’s murmur, Fei’er blinked and muttered, "As long as both parties reach a reconciling agreement, isn’t that all we need? Do we really need to consider how genuine their intention was to reclaim the port?"
It seems completely unnecessary.
"I think it’s necessary," Lin Weiwei said from the side.
"Collective will is sometimes hard to agree upon, but once the majority consents, it becomes difficult to change easily," Lei Ying added.
If the opponent’s desire to reclaim the port is fierce, even if this time passes, there’ll be another time...
Fei’er understood a bit and immediately felt a chill, involuntarily saying, "Did I get too happy too soon? Just how troublesome will this be!"
This is not at all pleasant.
Bai Xiaosheng snapped back to reality, looking at Fei’er, and simply smiled, "Perhaps I’m just overthinking."
Fei’er wanted to smile but found it hard to.
Not long after, the conference room door opened again, Santos returned looking radiant, clearly bringing good news rather than bad.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Bai Xiaosheng!"
Santos sat across from Bai Xiaosheng and said with a smile, "I have reported our discussion outcome to the higher-ups, and they have approved it. They believe our previous cooperation was excellent, and this time was indeed met with a once-in-a-century tsunami, an uncontrollable act of nature. Though your side has lapses, Kustiel still decided to set aside past grievances and give your side a chance to mend our relationship."
Santos had eloquently spoken all the pleasantries.
Bai Xiaosheng remained unfazed, smiling, "We indeed express our gratitude for Kustiel’s magnanimity. May I ask, what kind of opportunity are they offering our side, Mr. Santos?"
Santos didn’t answer immediately but raised his hand, prompting someone behind him to offer a map.
Santos took it, spread it out on the table, pointing at a location for Bai Xiaosheng to see.
"This is an island where we’ve constructed a tidal power station. However, due to equipment aging in recent years, the station has been forced to halt operation. We hope your side can assist in restarting this power station, whether it be repairing or updating equipment, as long as it is restarted, Kustiel is willing to not pursue the port issue."
To ask them to... restart the power station?
How does that even relate...
Fei’er was simply speechless.
Though thinking about it, perhaps the opponent feels that the Zhenbei Group, being a world-class conglomerate with subsidiaries across the globe, has the resources to solve it.
Moreover, Santos mentioned that as long as it’s restarted, even if just repaired instead of replaced, as long as it can operate...
It sounds like the conditions are rather lenient...
Fei’er indeed recalled some affiliated companies in Europe and America capable of lending a hand.
Santos continued smiling, "Of course, we won’t let you do this without compensation; there’s a dedicated fund of five million allocated for this task, which we’ll transfer to you."
For Kustiel to allocate funds for this?
Fei’er almost thought she misheard.
Mollya too showed a face of disbelief.
Bai Xiaosheng stared at Santos, smilingly asking, "May I ask, Mr. Santos, is this fund allocated by your council to some individual, assigning him to address the power station issue?"
Santos smiled without speaking, neither admitting nor denying.
Sometimes, it’s not good to reveal too much.
"So, Mr. Bai Xiaosheng, will you agree to our condition?" Santos asked with a smile that masked seriousness.
He then earnestly added——
"If this issue remains unresolved, we can only proceed with reclaiming the port project. I hope Mr. Bai and your Group understand, the chance is right before you, but you only get one!"
