Chapter 2499 - 1843: Minor Incident
On the return journey, Bai Xiaosheng specifically arranged for the dozen or so entrepreneurs who signed with Yang Corporation to gather together because he wanted to provide some additional clarification to them.
Previously, in the meeting room, Yang Xiaoyun only spoke to everyone about the new amendment regarding transportation and the cost-sharing plan, without mentioning any requirements for the choice of transport company.
Now, Bai Xiaosheng wanted to discuss this matter with everyone.
After hearing Bai Xiaosheng’s words, the dozen or so entrepreneurs present did not react with any resistance.
"I know about this. The Yang Family indeed has some sort of agreement with the Aisha Emirate, providing employment opportunities and driving economic growth in exchange for policy support. We just don’t know what the annual target is or why it wasn’t met this year." someone said.
"If that’s all there is to it, then it’s not a big deal. It doesn’t matter who we cooperate with; according to the Yang Family, we can give them face and bring down the cost, which is a win-win, right?" someone else remarked.
"Even if the Yang Corporation uses this opportunity to gain connections or benefits from one of those two transport companies, it’s just normal business practice, so what’s the problem..."
In response to Yang Xiaoyun’s request, everyone found it reasonable and acceptable.
Everyone present was a successful businessperson. They weren’t afraid of others profiting from collaboration because they understood a fundamental truth—that profitable business relationships are stable, reliable, and trustworthy, providing peace of mind.
"I must say, Mr. Bai, it’s fortunate that you stepped up for us. Though you say it simply, we all know how tenacious Yang Xiaoyun of the Yang Corporation can be; managing to negotiate the price down is truly admirable." Dong Tianlu said loudly.
Lu Tiandao, Zhang Qinglin, Wang Xuantian, Lin Tianyi, and others also took the opportunity to praise him.
With their praises, the other big business players naturally nodded frequently, casting looks of admiration at Bai Xiaosheng.
The harmony between them showed that Dong Tianlu and the others were setting me up to establish reputation and authority, preparing for a future business alliance.
Bai Xiaosheng naturally understood the intention of Dong Tianlu and the others.
"Gentlemen, you flatter me; I’m merely fulfilling my duties. Having been entrusted with the role of leader, I naturally try my best and spare no effort." Bai Xiaosheng maintained a degree of humble courtesy while accepting the earnestness of Dong Tianlu and the others.
"Mr. Bai is too humble!"
Everyone praised once again.
Seeing everyone’s attitude, Bai Xiaosheng took the chance to propose, "Gentlemen, this business negotiation was successful thanks to our unity. I believe that in the upcoming operations, it’s best for everyone to stick together. For example, when we approach the transport company, you should select a representative to act in unison; this will simplify processes and minimize unnecessary steps, as well as reduce risks."
Everyone nodded at Bai Xiaosheng’s suggestion.
"In my opinion, moving forward, we should trouble Mr. Bai again to take the lead in securing the transport company." Dong Tianlu proposed, "All of us here need to quickly complete the follow-up preparations for cooperation with the Yang Corporation."
This proposal resonated well with everyone present.
"Yes, this is a good proposal."
"I agree."
"I also agree."
Everyone nodded, looking at Bai Xiaosheng with anticipation in their eyes.
"Since that’s the case, as the leader, I’m willing to make the trip for everyone. However, at that time, it might be necessary to negotiate with someone, so I ask if any of you here would accompany me," Bai Xiaosheng said.
Everyone thought it was a good idea.
Amidst the many recommendations, Dong Tianlu became the one to accompany Bai Xiaosheng.
After that decision was made, someone voluntarily approached Bai Xiaosheng and said, "Having benefited from Mr. Bai’s assistance multiple times, upon returning home, I hope to establish a strategic partnership with you, Mr. Bai, and I look forward to being friends!"
This proposal caught everyone’s attention.
Dong Tianlu smiled from the side and said, "Partnering with Mr. Bai is very rewarding; I can testify to that."
"Yes, the thing I least regret is establishing a long-term partnership with Mr. Bai." Lu Tiandao said with a smile.
"And my biggest regret, do you know what it is? It’s that I met Mr. Bai too late," Lin Tianyi added with a laugh.
With everyone hyping it up, the others became eager, expressing their desire to establish cooperative relationships with Bai Xiaosheng as well.
Bai Xiaosheng smiled, thanking everyone for their recognition.
Thus, securing the transport company was concluded, and after some more discussion, everyone returned to their seats to rest.
Dong Tianlu sat down next to Bai Xiaosheng.
The two leaned in to chat.
Others might have thought they were discussing transport company matters, but in fact, they were talking about something else.
In a voice barely audible to a third-person nearby, Bai Xiaosheng said to Dong Tianlu, "That Mr. Chen who said that he wanted to establish a strategic partnership with me when we return—isn’t it that you guys had already persuaded him from the start?"
The previous scene was a performance.
With Bai Xiaosheng’s perspective, he naturally saw through the acting.
In this world, there aren’t many like Yang Xiaoyun who can even deceive themselves, and whom Bai Xiaosheng can’t see through clearly.
"Didn’t the performance go well? This time, we’ve handled things beautifully, and the business alliance is solid," Dong Tianlu admitted.
