Before this, Huai Shi had already consulted and understood the relevant matters.
Now, of course, he did not feel that this was a good thing.
What was involved now was the essential contradiction between supply and demand.
In the ever-changing market, the position of both the supply and demand side would often change according to the situation and changes in the situation. Both sides were destined to have constant friction and competition over the right to speak.
In short, who was the boss?
Equality and win-win was just a fairy tale to trick children. In real business, losing the right to speak was tantamount to being trampled on. Whether the other party brought a win-win or plunder, there would be no chance to resist.
Now, most of Danbo Smelting's production was in the smelting base in Anfang District, and it could not handle such a large supply demand. All the participating groups had joined together, using this huge order as a bargaining chip to request to enter the game.
On the bright side, they could expand their operations and earn money together.
But what if they had other intentions?
This would inevitably cause Huai Shi's control over Danbo Smelting to weaken, and at the same time, Danbo might gradually lose its bargaining power in the market … Although that kind of future was farther away than catching a cold or getting lung cancer, it was still necessary to be cautious.
This was a consideration between short-term and long-term development. Both options had their pros and cons.
But Freeman was suspicious. This was just the beginning.
The other party might have other plans.
Otherwise, why did he give so much money to the strategy department every year?
"Then I'll reject it."
Huai Shi played with the lighter in his hand and replied calmly, "Don't feel pity, Mr. Freeman. Not everyone can eat meat from Danbo's pot."
Although it wasn't strange for him to make such a decision, based on Freeman's understanding of Huai Shi, if he were to give up on such a large fortune and profit, he would definitely feel the pinch for a long time. He didn't expect him to make such an easy decision.
For a moment, it was inevitable that he was stunned.
"What's wrong?" Huai Shi asked.
"It may be offensive to say this … But, I really thought you would hesitate for a long time."
"Hahaha, Mr. Freeman, you're right. If it was something else, I would definitely feel the pinch for such a large sum of money.
To be honest, whenever I miss out on Metatron's discount season or Hell's Zero Dollar Purchase in the Collection of Sins, I'll be heartbroken for a long time. "
Huai Shi smiled. "But this is different from those things."
That smile was incomparably calm, without any reluctance, causing Freeman to be slightly stunned.
"Although everyone thinks that all of this came from me, I've never treated this place as my private property, and I don't feel at ease.
Because without other people, I wouldn't have been able to do anything, "he said." There are more things that make me who I am, that make me who I am. "
The ancestors of the Utopia, the unreserved support from the Ivory Tower, the protection from the Book of Destiny, and the guidance from Tongi … as well as the support and trust from all the beastmen.
Huai Shi knew that he wasn't the only one who had made all of this.
On the contrary, there were too many people to thank.
Now that there were results, how could he feel that all of this was achieved through his own efforts?
"You have to think of more people, Mr. Freeman."
Huai Shi said, "They deserve better."
"Are you sure you won't consider it?"
Freeman seriously fulfilled his duties as a consultant and explained all the pros and cons to Huai Shi. "After all, it's such a large sum of money. With this money in the account, Danbo's financial situation will definitely improve a lot, and the current infrastructure will not be stretched too thin.
Moreover, the Ivory Tower isn't necessarily afraid of them. It's just a business struggle. We don't lack experience and success. If necessary, we can definitely sweep them out of the game.
If we refuse, the local manufacturing industry in Yingzhou may join forces to boycott us … "
"There's no need to think about it anymore. It's just a temporary embarrassment. If there's any greatest strength I have, it must be that I'm especially good at enduring hardship, right?
Since we're destined to have a glorious future, why should we gamble now? "
Huai Shi shook his head and flatly refused. "The future is with me, Mr. Freeman. Let them go."
"The future is with me?"
Freeman pushed his glasses and laughed. "This sentence is worth a drink."
"Then why don't you come to my house for a meal next time?" Huai Shi suggested. "Recently, Mount Tiangou sent me a batch of new wine. The taste is very good."
"Is there whiskey?"
"Only a few bottles of ordinary goods." Huai Shi quickly had an idea. "But that's easy. I'll go back and get a few bottles of Russell's collection as compensation for everyone's overtime pay."
"Ah, this …"
Freeman was stunned.
"What, are you afraid that he'll make things difficult for you?"
"No, I mean, please take a few more bottles. The principal owes too much overtime pay … "
The two of them looked at each other and laughed.
It was decided.
Huai Shi did not participate in the afternoon meeting.
It was meaningless anyway.
It was better to return to Danbo Group and continue to slack off.
However, in the evening, there was an unexpected visitor.
It was from the Luming Hall in the capital.
Nan Zhongchang, who was in charge of all the ascendants in the capital.
Under the dim light of the setting sun, an old man in a Yingzhou robe sat opposite Huai Shi with a warm smile.
"Mr. Huai Shi, how have you been?"
Huai Shi's pen paused for a moment, and the idea of the design of Tianque was interrupted. He raised his eyes and looked over. He simply put the pen aside and asked straightforwardly.
"Why are you here, Mr. Nan Nan?"
He did not have the habit of playing tricks with the old foxes of the Luming Hall. It was best to be straightforward. It was the stupidest to play tricks with this old bastard who grew up in dirty water.
Moreover, he did not intend to give any promises and guarantees without the discussion of the consultant.
"I think you should know."
Nan Nan smiled calmly. "You seem to be dissatisfied with the way of cooperation, but please don't misunderstand. We just want to establish common interests with Danbo."
In this way, he did not care to admit that the discussion in the morning was his doing.
But other than the Luming Hall where the ministers gathered, who else had such great influence to mobilize those giant enterprises located in various parts of Yingzhou to unite?
Huai Shi had already expected this.
"To be honest, on the issue of how to treat Danbo, we have also had many internal disagreements. But no matter what, we are not willing to let the conflict be aroused and cause displeasure between the two sides. "
Nan Nan said honestly, "In comparison, a situation where both sides benefit is the best. We hope to deepen our relationship with Danbo, and we also hope to have greater interests with you.
You don't have to think of us as so dirty. Besides, with the increasing volume of Celestial genealogy today, we are not willing to be enemies with it easily.
Why can't we become friends, Mr. Huai Shi? "
He said, "I can guarantee that this will be a win-win situation."
The two sides were honest with each other. Danbo won the order, and the manufacturers got the supply. Jointly operating and maintaining, forming a deeper cooperative relationship, and winning the foundation for further cooperation in the future.
If things could develop as Nan Nan said, it would indeed be a win-win situation.
Huai Shi's expression was still cold, and he just asked, "I have no other choice except for a win-win situation, right?"
"We came with the idea of cooperation."
Nan Nan reiterated, "If you are willing to accept our goodwill, time will prove everything."
"In fact, we don't need anything to prove anything." Huai Shi shook his head, "Since it's a cooperation, there should be a basis for cooperation and a margin for non-cooperation."
"Waving the flag of goodwill, regardless of other people's consent, and forcibly inserting into other people's territory to win the so-called friendship and trust … Mr. Nan Nan, this is not the principle of cooperation."
Huai Shi looked at the old man in front of him and asked doubtfully, "Did you confuse Danbo and Yoshihara? We don't have Kabuki here. "
He didn't mind cooperation.
In fact, as long as it involved Danbo's livelihood and future, he didn't mind making more compromises in some insignificant places. But now Luming Hall was seeking the so-called cooperation with such a posture?
They even reached out and wanted to interfere with Danbo's lifeline.
They even wanted to eat large pieces of meat.
Why?
You're so sure of me?
"It seems that you still have some misunderstandings about us, but it doesn't matter." Nan Nan stood up regretfully, but he was not angry. He still replied with a smile, "Luming Hall's goodwill will be reserved for you. No matter when you need cooperation, we will respond.
I hope that you can change your mind at the meeting next week. "
"I'll think about it."
Huai Shi nodded, pressed the phone, and asked his secretary, Yuan Yuan, to send the guest out.
Would he think about it?
It would be strange if he would think about it!
Not only that, Huai Shi even suspected that Danbo's abnormality these days might be caused by Luming Hall. Anyway, there had to be a target to blame. Why not choose one he hated?
Moreover, if the other party really had any ulterior motives, they would definitely take further action.
There was no need to worry about not being able to catch the horse's foot.
.
After leaving Nan Nan, Huai Shi didn't do much work. Instead, he took out his mobile phone and began to play games. Then he waited until seven o 'clock and got off work on time.
It was impossible to work overtime. It was so happy to be lazy.
However, when he walked to the hall on the first floor, he heard a faint noise outside.
Outside the door, there were more than a dozen people holding up signs and shouting something inside.
"Freedom! We want freedom! "
"We refuse to be oppressed!"
"We refuse to work in sweatshops!"
"Everyone's Danbo will be built by everyone!"
The slogans were shouted more and more exaggeratedly, which made Huai Shi almost think that he had done something that angered the heavens and the people. Not far away, the security guards stopped a few people from entering.
After seeing Huai Shi walk out, they shouted Huai Shi's name and raised the information in their hands to come over.
"What do you do?"
Huai Shi turned around in confusion and looked at Yuan Yuan. "Are they here to collect TV fees? We don't seem to have installed cable TV, right? "
"No, they're from the Wanderers' Alliance of Freedom," Yuan Yuan replied.
"They've come here several times these days, saying that they want to see you, teacher. It's all about some unimportant things."
Huai Shi frowned.
He had some impression of that so-called alliance.
It seemed to be an organization of unique beastmen who wandered between the various borders, claiming that their purpose was to liberate all hybrids and seek a free future, but in fact, they were all bark and no bite. They only shouted fiercely. If they had some achievements, they wouldn't have to wait until Huai Shi came to Danbo.
Their bottom wasn't very clean either.
They didn't have the courage to fight for power outside. Instead, there were many bad stories of them squeezing their compatriots from the inside …
Since Danbo was established, there was basically no market for this kind of organization. However, Huai Shi didn't expect that they would come to Danbo again.
"What do they do?" Huai Shi asked.
It was rare that the girl, who had always paid attention to dignity and bearing, showed a look of disdain.
"They said that they represent the majority of the citizens to fight for the power they deserve. They asked Danbo to form a city council … They want to represent everyone, supervise the production of the medicine, and participate in the operation of Danbo."
After hearing this, Huai Shi was stunned for a long time and sincerely praised.
"… It sounds really good. It's like living in a dream."
If he had soaked in the bathhouse for less than two minutes, he wouldn't have poured so much water into his brain.
At the door, the old man William saw Huai Shi walking over and immediately showed a warm smile. He took the initiative to greet him and stretched out his hand. "Mr. Huai Shi, I …"
That hand was grasped in the air.
Right in front of him, Huai Shi and Yuan Yuan brushed past without any pause.
It was as if they didn't see him at all.
They talked and laughed as they walked forward.
From beginning to end, they didn't even glance at him.
William stood in place, his smile gradually stiffening.
After a long time, it was difficult to hide his ashen face.
He flicked his sleeves and left.
