Chapter 2

At noon the next day, Wei Shenzhi woke up, and then he froze.

Dark blue roof, gorgeous revolving chandelier, soft white king-size bed, translucent spotless glass windows... most importantly...

He sat up, his eyes locked on the briefcase beside the bed.A bauhinia flower ornament was pinned to the black leather bag, and a corner of the document leaked out of the bag.He reached for the briefcase and began to rummage through the contents.

Proposals, backup plans, wallets, mobile phones, lighters and cigarettes...all of them are missing.

What exactly is going on! !

All he remembers is that he went out to drink with a strange man, and then he got high and drunk.Why did he return to his room in the Palazzo Hotel as soon as he woke up again, and the briefcase left in the conference room ran to his bed? !

No, no, this is not the most important thing, the briefcase may have been brought into the room by his relatives.But who could tell him, how did that strange man know that he lived here, and how did he send himself back to this room without any identification and without a key card? !

Wei Shenzhi sighed with a headache, rubbed his swollen eyes, and took out his phone to check text messages and missed calls.Several text messages were sent by those annoying relatives, especially his aunt Wei Fang.

"Shenzhi, you're a big boss, how can you be so restless? The trust company has always been quite famous in the United States, how can you offend their spokesperson?! Westnet has promised to cooperate with us, and it's hard to wish for it. How can you do that? Still negotiating terms with them in such a strong tone?!"

Wei Shenzhi rolled his eyes, and looked at the next one, which was sent by his uncle Gao Min: "Ah Shen, your words are extreme today, so I won't say anything about you, you have always been like this. But you What happened to abandoning Westnet on the way?! Do you know how disrespectful this is!"

The corner of Wei Shenzhi's mouth twitched, thinking in his heart, "It's better to let them refuse to cooperate than to listen to you flattering them and giving them all the profits." He deleted the two text messages and opened the next one.But it doesn't matter if you don't open it, once he opened it, he was stunned.

"Mr. Wei, hello, I am Kate Lorraine, the spokesperson for the 'Silver Shield' project. Yesterday you were drunk, and the boss brought you back to the Palazzo. The boss admires your talent and courage, and he hopes that today In the afternoon's negotiation, you were able to maintain your sharpness and mind from yesterday, and remember what he said to you last night. Another: your belongings have been sent back to you. Sorry for any inconvenience caused."

"..."

Wei Shenzhi held up the phone, not knowing what to say anymore.

The comedy of life is meeting the right person at the right time; the tragedy of life is meeting the wrong person at the wrong time.

damn it!My own situation is clearly the latter!He can't remember what he said to that guy yesterday!

So it turns out that the damned guy last night was the head of Western Network, Edgar Flanders? !No wonder I always thought he looked familiar, this girl was the "person in charge" who kept bowing her head beside her all the time!

Wei Shenzhi sighed and checked the time on his phone.After confirming that there were still more than three hours before today's scheduled negotiation time, he got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.

However, Mr. Flanders.I think no matter how drunk I am, I would not casually reveal the inside information of the company to a stranger.

So don't get too excited.As long as I'm still the manager of the "Silver Shield" project, as long as I haven't been kicked out by the wave, you... have no chance of winning yet.

…………

Thirteenth floor, conference room.

Yesterday, all the people returned to the place where swords were at war before, but the two people who sat in front of each other changed at the same time.On Inspur's side is Wei Shenzhi's uncle, the younger brother of Gao Lang, the former general manager of Inspur; on the side of Xiwang is the leisurely Edgar with a nasty smile on his face.

"According to the result of the discussion with Ms. Wei and Mr. Gao of your company yesterday, this is the contract we initially drafted." It was Edgar who spoke.He was leaning against the conference table, his well-crafted suit was wrinkled, but he didn't care at all.His slightly long brown hair slightly covered his eyebrows, and his slender right hand gently held two contracts.

"It's completely formulated according to yesterday's statement." He smiled slightly, stood up, and handed over the contract of "Party B" to Gao Min. At the same time, his brown eyes looked at Wei Shenzhi who was listening carefully.

"What Mr. Wei said yesterday was indeed our fault." He stepped forward again, pulled out another contract from his pocket, and handed it to Wei Shenzhi, "Therefore, we rushed out the Simplified Chinese version overnight. Please Mr. Wei, take a look and see if there are any loopholes missing?"

Wei Shenzhi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the efficiency of Westnet was so high. It could complete the drafting of the preliminary contract in one night, and even translated it into a foreign language version.

He raised his head, met Edgar's eyes full of smiles but people couldn't see to the end, he settled down, but he didn't accept the contract in the other party's hand.

"Mr. Flanders, if I remember correctly, I have already elaborated on my company's technical level, human resources and market share yesterday. To be honest... I don't agree with the agreement made by Ms. Wei and you. contract."

Wei Fang was startled, and immediately winked at him several times, but Wei Shenzhi didn't see it, and just looked into Edgar's eyes without flinching.

"The opinion of your company's board of directors is different from that of the project manager. This is not the responsibility of our Western Network." Edgar said, "Do you know that in order to catch up with this contract, all the Western Network employees present have been working since the meeting last night to early this morning. There is almost no rest. Now because of Mr. Wei's personal opinion, we are demanding that our entire contract be returned to zero, let alone whether there is such a reason; is this how your company backtracked?"

"Wei Shenzhi!" Now Gao Min, who was watching the contract, couldn't help it anymore.He directly scolded his name, "There is nothing wrong with you here, you are responsible for managing the technical team well!"

"You—" Wei Shenzhi gritted his teeth.This is simply the real version of Liu Adou, the mud cannot support the wall!They have already negotiated the overly unequal agreement with each other.Now if they sign again, 80% of Inspur's profits in the North American market within three years will be attributed to Western Network Trust!

"We are the directors of Inspur. You are just a computer student. Just take care of the programming. Don't meddle in business matters!"

Wei Shenzhi took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and turned his gaze back to Edgar.I saw him crossing his arms, sitting on the conference table in front of him and looking down at him, his brown eyes were full of sarcasm.It seems to be saying: "Why, this time you are going to leave in anger like before?"

Wei Shenzhi gritted his teeth and regained his sanity a little.He stood up and looked down at Edgar who was sitting on the conference table: "I know this request is too much, and I also understand that my actions are very sorry to all the staff present at the Western Open. But Mr. Flanders, You are also a sensible person, so I will say it directly. Your previous contract was completely an unequal treaty!"

"Wei Shenzhi!"

Edgar stretched out his hand to stop the nasty exclamation of the middle-aged woman, raised the corners of his lips and looked at the oriental man biting his lip slightly: "Oh?"

"Yesterday, I have described the current situation of our company. I also know that there are only permanent interests in the market, but if you can relax the strict requirements on our company at this moment, Inspur will definitely be able to stand more firmly in the North American market. At that time, as a contract company, Western Open will also be able to make more profits."

Only then did he take over the contract from Edgar, and flipped through it casually, "For both companies, a contract is both prosperous and harmless. To drag the wave down at this moment, it can only Small profits. But from a long-term perspective, this contract squeezed 80% of Inspur's profits, which seriously delayed the speed of Inspur's product upgrades and self-repair. If this situation continues, within three years, The tide is about to exit North America again."

Gao Min and Wei Fang sighed heavily, not knowing who they were trying to show.

"Mr. Wei is very reasonable, which is why I personally acted as the spokesperson today." Edgar put down the document in his hand, "Actually, this contract is indeed too unequal for Inspur."

"But Mr. Wei, we used similar terms to sign two well-known Japanese software companies, 'Snow Flower' and 'Sakuragi'. Their situation was the same as that of your company, but for their debut software products, Consumers in North America are generally skeptical, so the contracts we proposed earlier are not overstated."

"Mr. Flanders said that, do you not trust Inspur's products?"

"No." The other's brown eyes flashed, "I just don't want to take risks."

"That's right." Wei Shenzhi also smiled, but the look in his eyes was unquestionably serious, "The risks involved by Inspur Company are much greater than yours."

Edgar brushed back the loose hair on his forehead, his probing eyes lingered on the opponent's body, and finally settled on the ink-like eyes of the opponent.He thought of what Wei Shenzhi said to himself last night.The founders of Inspur Company, Gao Lang and Wei Xichao, the precarious board of directors, and this... heir who has no real power.

Are you capable and scheming, but unable to achieve your goals or protect your original things due to various obstacles?

Some dark memories flashed through his mind, Edgar's eyes flickered, and he returned to his usual smile.

"Okay, then let's take a step back." Edgar brushed back his slightly long hair, "If within half a year, the 'Silver Shield' project can earn Inspur Company more than 50% of the investment— — That is, 200 million US dollars, we will re-establish the contract, and everything will be in accordance with the standards in Mr. Wei's proposal yesterday. I don't know what your opinion is?"

Wei Shenzhi froze for a moment, there was a flash of joy in his eyes, and then even the curvature of his lips slowed down slightly.

It's pretty nice to smile.thought Edgar.

"Thank you, Mr. Flanders. Inspur will definitely live up to its trust!"

Edgar nodded, and glanced nonchalantly at the other Inspur directors sitting at the table, "How about everyone?"

All the directors looked at each other in blank dismay, they didn't expect the development of the matter to be like this.Wei Shenzhi's reckless mistake made Edgar change his mind.Based on the idea of ​​"even if the goal is not achieved, follow the original plan", everyone agreed, but there was a bit of complicated hostility in the eyes staring at Wei Shenzhi.

Edgar saw everything in his eyes, but didn't say much.He jumped down from the table and waved to everyone at the Western Open: "Did you hear that? Go back to sleep when it's time to sleep. Tomorrow we will draw up a plan for half a year, and then we can relax and play in Vegas." Already!"

Although it is extremely annoying for the boss to reset the homework results to zero in one sentence, after hearing the "amnesty order", everyone at the Western Open who was still in a state of excessive overtime and severe insomnia immediately cheered and called the boss Long live, and then Scrambling to squeeze out the door.Several directors of Inspur didn't say anything when they went out, but their eyes were too hostile, Wei Shenzhi just pretended not to see them.

There were only two people left in the huge conference room.Edgar leaned forward without any scruples, and said with a low laugh, "You owe me a favor now."

"...And then? How do you want me to pay it back?"

"So anxious? I haven't figured out what I want from you...or, what can you give me?"

Wei Shenzhi really felt that this person spoke with a gorgeous rhetorical tone of the Middle Ages, which was really unbearable in the real world, so he waved his hand: "I don't like to owe others."

"Congratulations, you owe me twice... oh no, three times."

"?!"

"Yesterday you poured bitterness on me, and then I kindly sent you here, plus today's contract, a total of three times." Someone said shamelessly.

Wei Shenzhi looked at him speechlessly: "You came here by yourself."

"It doesn't matter, anyway, you owe me three times." Edgar had a bright smile on his face, which made people want to slap him.

"...Then tell me quickly, how can you pay back?!"

"Well... How about having lunch with me? Let's continue our conversation from last night. To be honest, I'm still curious."

Wei Shenzhi looked at the sun that had already set to the west, and the corners of his lips twitched: "It's past lunch time."

"Let's have dinner~"

"..."

So Wei Shenzhi agreed.

Because he also wanted to know what he said yesterday.
