Chapter 698: Chapter 698
The other party’s face was taut, just waiting for her to prove the adage that "a dog’s mouth can’t spit out ivory."
"First, let’s talk about why in the world Americans and Europeans dominate, and you all also really hope to do business with Americans and Europeans, right? Because you think they’re supreme? But why then have more and more people, including the Europeans and Americans themselves, come to like doing business with the Chinese?"
The manor owner’s face tightened, and he could only think of one word, "Because you Chinese are craftier than the Americans and Europeans——"
Her smile in that moment was as if it truly epitomized the devastating allure of a woman in the realm of business negotiation.
Everyone, witnessing her enigmatic smile, could only feel it was like a queen’s unfathomable and bottomless depth, yet akin to the fatal bloom of an open poppy, irresistibly drawing their souls in. Official source ıs 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩
Luca clutched his chest and gasped for air, presumably experiencing the same sensation as the hissing sounds around him.
"You, you, you, what are you laughing at?" The man, who had been so aloof and proud, now saw Gu Nuan’s smile and suddenly became inexplicably, uncontrollably filled with guilt, as if he were a lost, ignorant child standing before a prophet.
Under such circumstances, it seemed there was no other choice but to bow in submission.
The other party shook his head vigorously, grinding his teeth, "You say, what are you laughing at?!"
"I laugh at your ignorance."
With a five-word sentence, Gu Jinrong instantly made the towering giant before her look as pale as a whitewashed wall. After Gu Jinrong fired the first shot, of course, she aimed to leave the other party defenseless. What followed was a burst from an even more destructive submachine gun.
Everyone could only listen quietly to her far-sighted, prophet-like words resonating in the room.
"Because in this world, China is one of the few countries that truly has a broad spectrum of industries. Moreover, China is the third country in the world, after Europe and the United States, to have a real industrial complete chain. You Brazilians produce coffee beans in abundance, but you don’t have a real industrial chain for your own products. Such conditions not only restrict the overall development of your industries but also result in high inflation rates within Brazil. You can’t deny that you are the largest coffee-producing country, but the biggest coffee brand owners are not Brazilians. This can be considered a disgrace for you and also a short-sightedness that you still cling to unwisely to this day. Why do so many people want to do business with the Chinese? Because the Chinese, like you, aspire to catch up with the leading brands. Now there’s this mutually beneficial opportunity; what, do you prefer to continue being completely dominated by Europeans and Americans, to always remain nameless, working as slaves for others?"
The room had already fallen silent.
Pain, a profound pain, echoed in the hearts of the Brazilian manor owners present. It’s an undeniable fact that many coffee plantations in Brazil are still owned by foreign investors.
"Rest assured," Gu Nuan said, "We will not run our own coffee plantations; we will only seek the best partners. The companies we work with will exist as subsidiaries of the Zhao Corporation, without much direct connection to the Zhao brand. The focus will be on highlighting the local Brazilian plantation brands, aiming to strive towards this goal. What Zhao Corporation values is the fiery passion you locals have for coffee, the hottest commodity in the world—you have every reason to become the symbol of the world’s best coffee brand."
Half an hour later, Luca walked out of the negotiation venue, simultaneously reporting to Zhuang Haoran, "I’ve signed a one-month trial contract, and there should be no fewer than ten plantations signing on at the venue."
Such a splendid outcome was quite unexpected for Zhuang Haoran, even from a distance.
Ten? To think that the Zhao Corporation had just faced its greatest obstacle locally, with no one willing to do business with them.
How did she turn the tide of this defeat? It was astonishing.
"She is a born orator; in less than half an hour, she mowed down everyone in the room who intended to rebut her, one by one. No one could resist, including myself." Luca said with a sigh, "I’m ready to bow down before her, just like you. She is a natural-born Queen of Commerce."
Zhao Zirong sneaked off to find Father Zhao.
Father Zhao must have brought Xiao Yebai in to discuss Zhao Corporation’s plans.
And as Mrs. Zhao had thought, little Yebai glared, full of displeasure—what? Someone is competing with him for his wife again?
