Chapter 3091: Chapter 3093: Business Negotiation
As soon as you enter the door, you can see a dazzling array of lingerie hanging everywhere.
Any style you can think of is here, there’s nothing you cannot find.
Xu Wen quietly nudged Lin Yi and said with a smile:
"How is it? You probably haven’t seen so many styles before, right?"
In Xu Wen’s view, such a working environment could practically be called heaven for men.
"It’s alright." Lin Yi commented:
"There are a few styles that are quite novel."
"Just alright?"
Xu Wen eyed Lin Yi, "With so many styles, you just say it’s alright?"
"I’m not some college student who’s never seen the world."
Although the styles displayed inside were numerous, Lin Yi wasn’t new to this kind of scene.
Especially those bold and avant-garde styles, some of them he had seen with Yan Ci and Wang Ying.
But there were a few even more daring ones that Lin Yi had never seen before.
"True enough." Xu Wen nodded and said:
"With your looks, you surely know many girls and must have seen all kinds of big scenes."
"Not as exaggerated as you say."
Lin Yi pointed to a black lace set on the wall and said:
"This one is pretty nice, I haven’t seen it before."
Xu Wen covered her mouth and laughed, "Alright, let’s stop talking about this, we have serious business to attend to."
After speaking, Xu Wen straightened her expression and led Lin Yi towards the office inside.
It was about 60 square meters in size, with less than twenty desks inside. The rest of the space was occupied by models and cartons, filled with various types of lingerie.
Most of the employees here were women, with only two men busying around, both handling the physical work related to shipments.
"Hello, could you tell me who the person in charge is?" Xu Wen politely asked a male employee.
"President Zhang is next door."
"Next door? Is it 802 or 806?"
"806."
"Great, thank you."
After getting the information she wanted, Xu Wen took Lin Yi and left, knocking on the door of 806.
"Come in."
Xu Wen opened the door and was met with a screen, adorned with artistic small ornaments, yet in other inconspicuous places, packaged products could still be seen.
They walked past the screen and went inside.
There were two people in the office, one male and one female.
The two were about the same age, in their thirties.
The woman was dressed very sophisticatedly, wearing fitted jeans and high heels, her long black hair was tied up at the back, looking like a strong businesswoman.
However, the man opposite her appeared a bit more casual in his outfit.
His hair seemed unkempt for a few days, and he had a camera hanging around his neck that looked quite expensive.
Seeing Lin Yi come in, the woman couldn’t help but take another look, and said:
"Please have a seat, I’ll be with you shortly."
Xu Wen nodded slightly in response, and sat on the sofa with Lin Yi, waiting.
Lin Yi looked around, the layout of the two offices was the same, one for a single person, appearing somewhat empty.
But behind the screen, there were also many boxes and mannequin models, it seemed a bit messy.
On the desk, there was a business card holder, which read:
General Manager: Zhang Xiaoning.
"President Zhang, I tried taking some shots yesterday, but they didn’t turn out well. If we release these new product photos, they might not have the desired promotional effect, and may even invite criticism."
"Is it really that exaggerated?" Zhang Xiaoning said with a troubled look.
"Because the level isn’t high enough, there’s no sense of luxury." The photographer said:
"Even with post-editing, it still feels a bit off, but if we put it on Pinduoduo for sale, it might be okay."
"That’s not acceptable, it would lower the class." Zhang Xiaoning said:
"But the problem is, my X5 is already considered a good car, the effect shouldn’t be this bad."
"In the eyes of the public, an X5 is certainly a good car, but we’re filming, this needs to go online, in the eyes of the netizens, an X5’s class isn’t high enough, it has to be a supercar." The photographer said:
"And for shooting this kind of promo, a beach and yacht are the best choices."
"I tried discussing location, but the rental for a day is too expensive, it’s already over budget."
"Then get a supercar, it should capture that sense of beauty and cars." The photographer said:
"Renting one shouldn’t cost that much."
"Don’t even mention renting cars." Zhang Xiaoning said:
"I rented a supercar before, there was clearly nothing wrong when returning it, yet they insisted we scratched the paint, scammed me over 20,000 yuan, I’ve been uneasy about it ever since."
"This..."
The photographer was also troubled, unable to come up with a solution for the moment.
"Alright, let’s brainstorm together and discuss this afternoon."
The photographer nodded, took his camera, and left Zhang Xiaoning’s office.
"Who might you two be?"
After the photographer left, Zhang Xiaoning turned her attention to Lin Yi and Xu Wen, but deliberately or unintentionally, glanced at Lin Yi several more times.
"Hello."
Xu Wen also handed over her business card, and politely said:
"We’re from the neighborhood express station, you must have a lot of packages to send every day, we’d like to talk about collaboration."
Learning their identity, Zhang Xiaoning said:
"But we already have partnered express services, if you can do 4.5 yuan per parcel, there might be a possibility to collaborate."
"This..."
Xu Wen hesitated for a moment, "How many parcels do you send daily?"
"About 300 parcels."
"If it’s this quantity, the lowest we can go is five yuan."
"You can see we’re a small enterprise, our annual profit isn’t much, if we use your service, it’ll add 4500 yuan in cost monthly, which adds up to over 50,000 a year, that’s not a small amount for us."
"But our reputation is the best in the industry, and every parcel gets delivered to the door,"
Xu Wen brushed her hair and continued to argue her case:
"The most important thing is our efficiency, which is better than other express services, these are our advantages, hence the slightly higher price."
"If it were a big company, they wouldn’t mind the cost, but we’re a small company, we have to cut every cost." Zhang Xiaoning said with a smile:
"Otherwise, for this handsome man, I would certainly collaborate with you."
Seeing Zhang Xiaoning was not budging, Xu Wen knew she couldn’t push the conversation further.
After all, the cost on her side could not go any lower.
"President Zhang, I’ll go back and reevaluate the price to see if it can be lowered, hoping for a chance of cooperation."
"I know your company’s reputation in the industry, if you can do 4.6, I’d also be willing to cooperate with you, but no higher." Zhang Xiaoning apologetically said:
"I hope you understand."
