Crossing over, and then being blocked by a rich JK

Chapter 231 Give Him Face [7K] (Thanks to the leader of the driving-loving Yingying monster!)
"President Shinoda, I'm afraid we can't accept the offer you made."

In the president's office, Amamiya Ayana, who was sitting on the sofa, considered her words and finally uttered this sentence.

Admittedly, everyone had a very pleasant chat earlier, but one thing to note is that the pleasure of chatting is not the same as the pleasure of doing serious work. Issues of interests are involved, and it is far from being something that can be dismissed by just laughing and joking.

"It's okay, we can talk about it later."

Shinoda Seiichiro smiled nonchalantly, his tone very calm.

He had long expected that Amemiya Ayana would not accept it, or in other words, he was just paving the way for his daughter.

There is a saying that goes, if there are no bad guys, how can the good of the good guys be highlighted?
Besides, this is the normal process of doing business.

- Each party first offers an impossible but normal price, then slowly negotiates and compromises with each other. Finally, when both parties have achieved a satisfactory result, the contract is established.

After all, just like negotiation, this is the art of "compromise" and "language".

"The price you quoted is really too low. We can hardly even break even." Amamiya Ayana paused, "As a senior who has been in the business world for so long, you must know better than me that only a win-win cooperation can last long."

These words are quite basic to her.

It can be said that he can say it at will.

In business cooperation negotiations, the biggest taboo is to put yourself and the other party on opposite sides. There is no way to get the deal done through confrontation, and it will only make everyone unhappy. However, if you can switch the perspective from persuading the other party to cooperate with you to telling the other party what benefits our cooperation can bring to each other, the success rate will be more than 20% higher.

In a sense, this is both 'sincerity' and 'routine'.

"Yes."

Shinoda Seiichiro nodded, agreeing with her.

Yes, he knew very well that this was just a way of speaking to bring people closer together.

But knowing is one thing, whether you can benefit from it or not is another.

The same words spoken by different people give people completely different feelings.

What some people say will make you feel very comfortable, even if you know it is just a rhetoric, you are willing to believe it and are more willing to listen.

But when some people say it, you will just think they are disgusting, hypocritical, and talking nonsense.

And there is no doubt that the eldest daughter of the Amemiya family, no, the president of Yuuna Company, obviously belongs to the former.

Silently, he gave her another three points in his heart.

Ayana Amamiya is indeed a very special young person.

"My psychological expectation is 35% more than what you quoted."

Amamiya Ayana said this very seriously.

"This……"

Boom, boom, boom.

Just when Seiichiro Shinoda was about to refuse, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

He first gave Ayana Amamiya a look that asked her to wait a moment, then turned around and looked towards the door.

Click.

The door opened, and the figure of his beloved daughter came into his sight.

"I thought you'd be gone for a while."

Shinoda Seiichiro teased her.

To be honest, Zhihui was a little late.

"There was a delay there, and his offer was a little... outrageous."

Shinoda Chie pursed her lips, and there was a hint of complaint between her brows.

To be honest, she had some expectations for Teppei Amamiya before.

For example, the latter could read the atmosphere, understand the meaning behind her subtext, and could be more tactful in making some constructive offers, but it turned out that she was overthinking.

A fool is always a fool. You won't treat him with new eyes just because you haven't seen him for a month or two.

Life is not a novel, where do so many quick-made geniuses come from?

"It's fine if you refuse." Shinoda Seiichiro responded gently, then turned around and introduced his daughter to Watanabe Yu and Amamiya Ayana, "She is my daughter, Shinoda Chie, and the future successor of Shinoda Corporation."

After saying this, he waved to his daughter.

"Chie, come here and say hello to Mr. Watanabe and President Amamiya."

Next, he only needs to introduce the two parties and then watch.

"hai~"

Chie Shinoda responded obediently and came to the reception sofa.

Just when she was about to say hello to Amemiya Ayana, the latter had already stood up, extended her hand to her, and greeted her.

"Hello, Ms. Shinoda."

Amamiya Ayana gave a gentle smile.

"Hello, President Amamiya."

Shinoda Chie took her hand back and squeezed it gently.

"Hello, Ms. Shinoda."

Watanabe slowly stretched out his hand.

He stood up together with Amamiya Ayana, but the Saint Lady was the protagonist today, so he naturally took second place.

"It's not easy to meet you in private, great writer."

Chie Shinoda winked playfully, then stretched out her hand and shook his hand generously.

She knew the relationship between Amemiya Ayana and Watanabe Yuu, so she had to avoid suspicion at this time.

"Uh, no."

Watanabe Yu gave a dry laugh and changed the subject.

After communicating with Chie Shinoda at the banquet, she said she wanted to invite him out, but he had something to do that time so he didn't go.

After the rejection, their contact gradually became less and less.

On the day when the Naoki Prize was awarded, she sent him a congratulatory text message.

"A great writer?"

Seiichiro Shinoda chewed on the name for a moment, then looked at his daughter with a puzzled look.

then.

After frowning in hindsight, he finally reacted.

No wonder he felt Watanabe Yu looked familiar.

Isn't this the young author 'Watanabe' in the newspaper?

He read the report several times at that time, so it would be strange if this didn't look familiar.

"To be honest, I really didn't expect it."

Shinoda Seiichiro shook his head.

This is really a bit counterintuitive.

There are actually people who use their real surname as their pen name.

Such behavior is rare in the literary world. The vast majority of writers use self-created pen names. In their words, pen names sound better and are more mysterious.

"If you think about it, it's a bit exaggerated." Shinoda Chie pursed her lips and sat on the sofa. "He understands the theory of darkness under the lamp too well."

Anyway, she had never seen such a person.

He has already won the Naoki Prize, and is even the youngest writer to have won the award since its establishment. His future may not be bright, but it is certainly promising.

At this time, whenever he appears on TV or accepts interviews, his fame will rise rapidly.

In addition, he has the ability to create memes, so it is easy for him to break out of the circle.

Apart from being labeled as "over-commercialized", the increase in fame can be said to be a hundred benefits to him with no harm.

Let’s not talk about those empty things, let’s just talk about the most real thing, there are many people who are willing to give him money.

The huge sum of money he made during this period was enough for him to live a carefree life for the rest of his life.

But he simply refused to accept those interviews, and even the interviews after the Naoki Award were all in the form of text.

In a sense, she felt that his way of thinking was different from that of most people.

But...if you think about it carefully, it's not incomprehensible. After all, his reaction when they met and chatted proved that he was that kind of person.

"Teacher Watanabe, could you please sign an autograph for me later?"

Seiichiro Shinoda rolled his eyes at his daughter, then turned around and looked at Watanabe Yu with anticipation.

Limited by his own cultural level in writing, he has always admired those great writers who are not trapped by fame.

In his eyes, those authors who are talented but do not over-commercialize themselves are quite awesome!

"..."

Shinoda Chie pursed her lips and looked away.

She also knew her father's temper, but she really didn't expect that her father would use honorifics.

"of course can."

Watanabe Yu nodded, then looked at Amamiya Ayana beside him calmly.

Her outfit today was reflected in his eyes.

Miss Saint was wearing standard business attire today, with a neat shirt and suit jacket on the upper body and matching trousers on the lower body.

Different from her gentle homely look in the past, today’s Saint Lady can be said to be fully professional.

The two of them sat down.

"Then I thank you in advance." Shinoda Seiichiro thanked him happily. Then, he coughed lightly and changed the subject, "Let's get back to the point. Regarding the specific content of the contract, my daughter will take over next."

"Does Miss Chihui's words count?"

Amemiya Ayana looked at Shinoda Seiichiro.

Yes, this is not a pleasant question to hear, but it is necessary to ask at this time.

Otherwise, after talking for a long time, if Shinoda Seiichiro finally says that he doesn't accept it, then wouldn't all the talk be in vain?
"Didn't I tell you that she is the future president of Shinoda Corporation? Whatever you can agree on today will be the contract."

Seiichiro Shinoda was not angry and gave Ayana Amamiya some reassurance.

He could understand Amamiya Ayana's worries. After all, he had also gone through this step by step in the past.

Moreover, after knowing Watanabe Yu's identity, he added another 2 points to his rating of Amamiya Ayana.

He has never been stingy when it comes to investing, let alone investing in young people with unlimited potential.

Perhaps a good opportunity today may turn into an opportunity to help you in a few years.

He has seen too many similar incidents.

"At the same time, I will not interfere with your conversation. You will be responsible for everything. Don't feel any psychological burden."

Shinoda Seiichiro thought about it and added this sentence.

The reason I added this sentence was to give face to Watanabe Yu.

He liked the young man's writing style, liked his works even more, and believed that Watanabe had unlimited potential, so he was willing to give him this face.

"It made you laugh."

Amamiya Ayana lowered her eyebrows and apologized.

"What's the big deal? It's normal. Just talk and pretend I don't exist."

Shinoda Seiichiro shrugged his shoulders and no longer maintained the sitting posture. He leaned back on the sofa in a very relaxed manner, looking like he was just watching.

"Then let's get started."

Amemiya Ayana looked at Shinoda Chie.

"Yes, but could you please repeat the previous...content again, President Amamiya? Just something simple will do."

Shinoda Chie tilted her head and met her eyes openly.

"of course."

The Saint Lady nodded and repeated the story.

Just as things were getting back on track in the office, Teppei Amamiya finally found his destination after asking along the way.

"The president is discussing business with someone, you can't come in."

The administrative secretary standing at the door stopped Teppei Amamiya who was about to knock on the door.

Long before, the president had told him that he had to hold Teppei Amamiya for twenty minutes and then let him in after twenty minutes.

"I'm not looking for President Shinoda, I'm looking for Sister Chie."

Teppei Amamiya naturally changed to a more intimate name.

Anyway, Chie Shinoda is not here, so it’s his business what he calls.

"Ms. Shinoda is also in there discussing business. Please wait a moment. Once they have finished their discussion, you will be able to see her."

The administrative secretary calmly changed the statement.

He is very experienced in stopping people.

No matter who it is, as long as the president doesn't say they can come in, he will do his duty and keep those people out.

"I have something very important to tell her. Can you please make some concessions?"

Teppei Amamiya suppressed his temper and put on a pleading expression.

When he came here, his mother specifically told him that even if he encountered setbacks, he had to suppress his bad temper. The mistake made by the An Yuan family had already caused his reputation to plummet, and he must not make the same mistake again.

"I beg your pardon."

The administrative secretary shook his head.

Although he did not refuse openly, his meaning was already clear.

"...If it's the fastest, how long should I wait?"

After a moment of silence, Teppei Amamiya asked.

"Twenty minutes." The administrative secretary announced the time.

"Okay, I'll wait."

Teppei Amamiya took a step back and stood up straight.

Although his physique was not good, he had no problem standing for twenty minutes.

"If you need tea, just let us know."

Seeing that Amemiya Tetsu was calm, the administrative secretary also said something about the process.

In fact, according to reason, Teppei Amamiya should sit in the reception room across the corridor, where someone would make tea for him.

But the young master didn't seem to be interested in that place, so he couldn't say anything more and could only remind him.

As for asking him to pour tea, that was impossible.

He won't move away until the time comes.

The corridor fell silent. About five minutes later, a sound of footsteps suddenly rang out.

Reflexively, Teppei Amamiya turned his head and looked towards the end of the corridor.

A figure that made him a little scared came into his sight.

Ever since Watanabe Yu slapped him, he began to fear the housekeeper who always stood on the side of Amamiya Ayana.

"Master Amamiya."

The old butler glanced at Teppei Amamiya, then bowed slightly and greeted him.

"Ah."

Although he felt a little uncomfortable, Teppei Amamiya still responded.

After saying hello, the old butler ignored him and quietly stood in his original position, waiting.

Even though he was mentally prepared, when he really met Teppei Amamiya, he still cursed his bad luck in his heart.

If possible, he didn't want to see Teppei Amamiya at all. Just looking at him made him feel bad.

Time passes like this minute by minute.

With Tetsuhei Amemiya feeling like every day was a year, he finally made it through the last twenty minutes.

"Can we come in now?"

Teppei Amamiya raised his head and looked at the administrative secretary.

"Wait a moment, let me ask for permission."

The administrative secretary glanced at him, turned around, and knocked gently on the door.

But there was no response from inside.

After waiting for a moment, he turned around and looked at Teppei Amamiya.

"No... can't we go in?"

Teppei Amamiya's expression turned ugly.

If the administrative secretary in front of him told him that he couldn't enter, he would lose his temper without hesitation.

"No, you can listen first and then consider whether to go in or not."

The administrative secretary shook his head and then quietly opened the office door.

As he moved, a crack appeared in the tightly closed door.

Teppei Amamiya followed and moved closer.

The sounds of conversation and figures inside came into his sight.

From his perspective, he could clearly see... Watanabe Yu and Amemiya Ayana sitting on the sofa.

Gudong.

Subconsciously, he swallowed.

Even though he knew that Watanabe Yu probably didn't notice him, he already started to feel uneasy.

After the initial slap, he told his mother that he wanted revenge, but before he could finish his words, he was scolded by his mother. Then, he didn't know where his cheap father got the news from, but he also beat him up.

From then on, he suppressed this idea.

It was from that time that he began to be afraid of Watanabe Yu.

Later, at the banquet at the Yasuhara family, Watanabe Yu's cruel expression made his fear rise to a higher level and turned into complete terror.

His subconscious told him that one day, Watanabe Yu would bring Amemiya Ayana and drive them out of the Amemiya mansion like stray dogs.

No, it's not just him and his mother, but also his cheap father.

However, the old man has really lost his mind now. Watching the Yuuna Company grow step by step, he did nothing and just let it develop.

Haha, if the old man had used his ruthlessness towards him in the right place, Yuuna Company would not have developed so rapidly.

Teppei Amemiya shook his head, put these thoughts behind him, and listened carefully.

No matter what the discussion was like, what he heard would become the information he reported to his mother.

"I think your offer is... a little outrageous."

A similar conversation happened again in front of the coffee table.

But this time, the person who said this changed from Amamiya Ayana to Shinoda Chie.

“This is the best offer we can make.”

Amamiya Ayana did not give in at all.

This price is not outrageous and is a very normal quotation in the industry.

If this offer is still outrageous, then if we give it a little bit less, it will only be enough to break even.

Yes, if I have to say it, from the perspective of making friends, it’s okay to give up a benefit once, but why not fight for what you can fight for?

Besides, the company doesn't belong to her alone.

She could ignore her own share, but she had to consider Risa-san and Yu's, especially Yu's.

She could accept herself suffering a loss, but she could not accept him suffering a loss.

"I think you can make a more sincere offer, what do you think?"

Shinoda Chie met Amamiya Ayana's gaze without dodging and said these words.

"..."

There was silence in the office.

Amamiya Teppei couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

He doesn't have the courage to face Watanabe Yu and Amemiya Ayana, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have the courage to laugh at their jokes.

Yes, that’s right. Mention some more conditions and crush them directly, and end this contract!
Teppei Amamiya shouted in his heart, and the expectation in his eyes became more and more intense.

He was worried before about what they would do if they got the order, but now it seems that his worries can be put to rest.

"I think we can talk about this some more, what do you think, Watanabe?"

Seiichiro Shinoda coughed lightly and tried to smooth things over.

"Yes." Watanabe Yu took over the conversation, quietly held the hand of the Saint Lady under the table, and then said, "As for the quotation, I think we all have to make a profit. What do you think, Miss Shinoda?"

But having said that, he really didn't expect it.

The distribution problem that I just hit a wall with has come back to me after going around in circles.

The most important thing is that this time they did not give a "relatively outrageous" price, but a bottom line price.

"uh-huh."

Chie Shinoda shrugged and responded.

"Actually, I'm not unreasonable. I know you're having difficulties. If you're doing business, you have to make some money to keep it going." She paused, then continued, "It's impossible for one party to not make any money at all."

This is her real purpose, to lure Watanabe Yu out.

"Yes."

Watanabe Yu nodded, confirming her statement.

"So, why don't we cooperate more thoroughly? I can offer more favorable conditions, such as a 15% increase on your offer." Shinoda Chie paused, "Does Yuuna Company accept shares now?"

After the words were spoken, Teppei Amamiya, who was listening, widened his eyes and was completely stunned.

A 15% increase, isn’t that the price he just offered to Chie Shinoda? ? ?

She refused without even looking back!

No, you can give this offer to others at this time! ? Take the initiative to let others make money from you! ? ? ?
Watanabe, you have to refuse!

He clenched his back teeth and looked at Watanabe Yu.

“There is no plan to expand shareholders at this time.”

Watanabe Yu gave the answer.

According to Risa and Ayana, Yuuna Company will not expand its shareholders any further.

"When you have the idea of ​​expanding shareholders, can you give me priority?" Shinoda Chie paused, "Of course, I will give you a higher price than your estimated value."

Rather than spending a lot of time on these petty profits, she cares more about getting in touch with Risa Yasuhara and Yu Watanabe.

Dad said she inherited her mother's keen business sense.

Over the years, the industries she invested in have made profits.

Now, her sense of smell is telling her that the sooner she gets on board Watanabe Yu's big ship, the more she will be able to eat in the future.

“Is this an exchange?”

Watanabe Yuu met her gaze.

In a sense, this verbal agreement is somewhat similar to the contract he signed at the time.
——The letter of intent that is given priority.

"No, it's just a one-sided show of goodwill." Shinoda Chie shook her head, "Because you rejected me at that time... Don't look like that, it's just a joke. The truth is that I think highly of you and I want to invest in you, a great writer with a promising future. That's all."

In other words, the reason why she argued with Amamiya Ayana for so long was, to put it bluntly, to give face to Watanabe Yu.

As for Risa Yasuhara, it is part of the reason, but not the main reason.

This may sound harsh, but it is also realistic.

After leaving the Amemiya family, Ayana Amemiya is not worth mentioning at all.

There are too many companies that can take this order from them. Without Yuuna Company, something like Sakurajima Company might also be able to do it.

"Then, happy cooperation."

Watanabe Yu thought about it, stood up, and extended his hand to Chie Shinoda in front of him.

"Pleasant to work with."

Chie Shinoda also stood up and shook his hand.

Same as before, still hold it in an empty grip.

If Watanabe Yu didn't have Ayana Amamiya by his side, she might have taken the initiative to go a step further and pursue him, but since he already has Ayana Amamiya, she would be more inclined to bless him rather than break them up.

After all, she was one of the people who had watched them come this far.

Even though strictly speaking, she only witnessed two of their emotional moments.

But rounding it off, it can be considered as witnessing it with my own eyes.

"You have a really good eye."

After letting go of her hand, Chie Shinoda looked at Ayana Amamiya and said this meaningfully.

"I feel the same way."

The Saint Lady blinked and admitted it openly.

In the past, she might have been frustrated, thinking that her own abilities were the strongest, and even tried every means to prove it.

But at the moment, she only felt that what Shinoda Chie said was right.

She has a very good vision!

After all, she discovered Mr. Troll before anyone else.

How could her Mr. Troll be bad!
"take care of it."

After leaving these words, Chie Shinoda turned her head and looked towards the door.

The moment she saw Teppei Amamiya's face, she frowned in disgust.

"Secretary Hongo."

Chie Shinoda's gaze passed over Teppei Amamiya and fell on the face of the administrative secretary.

"exist."

The administrative secretary lowered his head and responded.

"Please come in for a moment and help me draft a contract."

"Ok."

The administrative secretary nodded slightly and glanced at his subordinate beside him, who understood and handed him the laptop.

After taking the computer, he patted Teppei Amamiya on the shoulder and gave a kind smile.

"Please make way."

Stunned Teppei Amemiya looked at him blankly, then obediently gave up his seat.

"Thank you."

The executive secretary walked past him and into the office.

pat.

The office door was closed without leaving even a gap.

Two-in-one, it’s a little late today, but the word count should be up to the target.

See you tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please give me a ticket!!! ...
Bang bang bang, kowtow to everyone!
