Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2546 - 1863: Troublesome Situation

Bai Xiaosheng and the other two wandered around outside with Milo for almost forty minutes, and even got into a fight with a bunch of street thugs. As for business, they hadn’t discussed a single serious thing.

On the way back, Milo seemed a bit low, you could even say a little depressed. Of course, his mood had absolutely nothing to do with not having negotiated anything; there was some other reason.

They all returned to that company and went to the office building. The trade delegation’s inspection wasn’t over yet, and the executives of the company were still over there accompanying them. There were hardly any leaders in charge around, only an administrative deputy manager.

The moment that administrative deputy manager saw Mr. Milo, he jumped in fright, hurriedly ran up with a face full of smiles. "Mr. Milo..."

"Take us straight to the VIP lounge. Don’t say one extra word to me, I’m in a foul mood. Watch it or I’ll have you fired, you hear me!"

Milo opened his mouth already reeking of gunpowder.

The administrative deputy manager jumped in fright and hurriedly nodded again and again.

"I asked if you heard me!" Milo didn’t hear a reply for a long time and instantly snapped.

"You just told me not to speak." The administrative deputy manager said aggrievedly.

Bai Xiaosheng quickly smoothed things over with a smile and said to the administrative deputy manager, "Sorry to trouble you, please lead the way."

The administrative deputy manager looked toward Milo. Seeing that Mr. Milo meant the same thing, he didn’t dare say more and led the way in front.

After he’d ushered Bai Xiaosheng, Milo and the others into the VIP room and had someone bring in coffee and fruit—only to have Milo wave it away casually—the administrative deputy manager came out and couldn’t help letting out a long breath. When he wiped his forehead, it was covered in sweat.

This behind-the-scenes big boss’s aura was like that—truly terrifying.

The administrative deputy manager, who had almost had his career cut off for no reason at all, arranged for someone to wait at the door, then took off at a run to find the manager—his direct superior.

He had it all planned out—

Mr. Milo clearly wasn’t in a great mood today, not the time to perform in front of him. But he could get his own leader to come over; if the administrative manager failed to serve properly and got kicked out, he himself could smoothly move up. That wouldn’t be half bad...

...

With the door closed, Milo and Bai Xiaosheng sat opposite each other resting, sipping coffee.

There was no one else in the room. Bai Xiaosheng had already told Milo that Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying were not only his capable assistants but also his absolute confidants, with nothing that needed to be kept from them.

Since Bai Xiaosheng said so, Milo naturally didn’t hold back either.

The topic, of course, picked up where it left off. The theme could be summed up in four characters—"bargaining back and forth."

Milo pushed the price very high; Bai Xiaosheng pressed it very low.

The two sides inched toward the middle, probing for each other’s bottom line.

An hour or two of back-and-forth, nothing but a war of words, but the price gap between the two sides had indeed narrowed quite a bit.

Of course, expecting a result today was impossible.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying listened quietly from the side and did not interject.

Most of the time Milo behaved like a playboy, a cynical rake, but once he stepped into the business negotiation phase, once he got into the zone, it was like he became a different person.

Quick-thinking, silver-tongued, constantly digging pits and laying traps for his opponent in the negotiations, then turning over his cards at some unpredictable moment.

This version of Milo left Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying deeply shocked.

This smoke-free business battlefield, with its hidden killing intent, was in no way inferior to bloody hand-to-hand combat.

It wasn’t that Lin Weiwei and the others had never participated in similar business negotiations; they’d been in plenty, seen plenty. Precisely because of that, they could all the more sense how terrifying Milo was in this area.

His previous absurd antics now served as the perfect cover for who he was at this moment, leaving the two of them unable to wrap their heads around it for a long time.

It was only because this was Bai Xiaosheng. If it were someone else, they probably would’ve been left for dead by Milo here.

Facing Milo, Bai Xiaosheng remained unhurried, relaxed in expression. His extraordinary memory was on full display, not only perfectly avoiding all the traps Milo set, but also digging pits for the other side in passing.

The two of them kept digging pits for each other while exploring the possibility of cooperation.

By the end of the talk, they were both tired.

Negotiating like this is exhausting on the brain, after all.

"Mr. Milo, I think we should call it a day. The results from this first round of talks are already pleasing enough; I need to go back and discuss them with everyone." Bai Xiaosheng took a sip of coffee to moisten his throat and suggested.

"Stop at this point? That’s equivalent to acknowledging this current point, but I’m the one at a loss here."

Milo was a bit unwilling.

Bai Xiaosheng gave a slow smile, set down his coffee cup, and said, "Look, we came to your place for an inspection today and actually ran into two groups of bandits outside. How should I put it? If we go to the Karan royal family and say the investment environment is poor, that will definitely draw great attention. I imagine the Karan royal family will conduct a thorough and detailed investigation into this incident and will be sure to give our trade delegation a proper explanation. And the incident took place right next to your company. Mr. Milo, do you think that might bring just a teeny tiny bit of negative impact to your company?"

What Bai Xiaosheng said was very euphemistic.

But for people of their level of IQ and EQ, this was self-evident; spelling it out too clearly would actually be bad.

"Well..."

Milo immediately fell silent for a moment, then said to Bai Xiaosheng with a very sincere face, "I think the current point is just right. I fully agree. Next time we’ll pick up from here and keep talking."

Milo chickened out in an instant.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying couldn’t help exchanging a look. They kept feeling like this guy in front of them and the one from just now were not the same person at all.
