In the golden age, the beginning involves controlling Zhu Suosuo.

Qu Xiaoxiao explained the predicament she was currently facing.

Andy thought for a moment and quickly said, "This kind of bidding is actually a game between the bidding party and the bidding party."

However, the fact that your company was able to pass the first round shows that its foundation is quite good.

This is the second round. They've sent a professional team to your location to review the materials. Their purpose is twofold: first, to verify whether the materials you submitted earlier were falsified.

Secondly, we hope to reduce costs and obtain the best quality service at the lowest possible cost in China.

In engineering projects, profit margins are very transparent; everyone knows them. You just need to figure out your expected profit and where your bottom line is. There's no need to follow the other party's lead or be intimidated by them.

Andy's words were very simple, clear, and straightforward.

Even Qu Xiaoxiao understood immediately after hearing it.

Qu Xiaoxiao said, "I understand what you mean. The purpose of their visit is, more importantly, to give me a psychological shock."

As long as I have a clear goal in mind, I'm happy if we can cooperate; if not, so be it.

Andy said, "That's good."

Andy: "Actually, cooperation must be within the scope that both parties can accept, otherwise there is no need to cooperate."

Of course, some service providers might forget their original intentions in order to obtain this opportunity. However, if you don't earn the expected profits, or even lose money while gaining publicity, such a cooperation won't last long.

Andy said, "So, you set your own expectations and goals, and then persuade them with your emotions and reason."

And tell them that the price they're asking for might not be cheap, but the service will definitely be of the highest quality.

Qu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "I understand, Andy. Thank you so much. You really are my savior."

These bastards are always causing me trouble. Ever since they came to my company, I haven't been sleeping well.

So that's what they were after.

As Qu Xiaoxiao spoke, she opened her arms, wanting to give Andy a big hug to express her gratitude.

Andy was startled and quickly stopped her. She wasn't used to close contact with people, even women.

"Okay, okay."

Andy laughed and said, "Actually, you're still too young. This is the most basic tactic in project cooperation. They're just taking advantage of your youth."

Qu Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement.

Qu Xiaoxiao said, "Those guys think I'm young and easy to bully."

But then again, are all situations like this?

Andy said, "Not entirely. The person in charge of the review team from the client side carries a lot of weight, and the company will definitely listen to his opinion."

If he has any ulterior motives, the investigation might go awry, such as asking for favors or kickbacks in private.

These kinds of things happen frequently; let's deal with each specific problem on a case-by-case basis.

Qu Xiaoxiao lay down on the sofa and said, "Doing business is really too difficult."

Andy smiled and said, "These are all good. You'll get used to them as you experience more in the future."

Andy's words were incredibly helpful to her, as she was just starting her business.

Qu Xiaoxiao knew very well that the person in front of her was an investment guru.

If it weren't for this situation, no matter how much money her small company offered, people probably wouldn't even bother with it.

Things are different now; those who are near the tower get the moon first.

She had to cling to this powerful figure.

Qu Xiaoxiao said, "Andy, where did you find such a nicely decorated house?"

Andy smiled and said, "Lin Yi, the legendary real estate agent in Shanghai, can help you find the house you want as long as you tell him what you're looking for."

Qu Xiaoxiao's eyes widened suddenly. Mentioning Lin Yi reminded her of the scene between her and Lin Yi back then.

Originally, Qu Xiaoxiao thought Lin Yi was so handsome that she wanted to be friends with him and make him her boyfriend.

Who knew that guy would just say, "I can play around with it, but nothing else."

No matter what, she's still a woman, okay? If she really agrees, what would she become?

Therefore, even though Qu Xiaoxiao coveted Lin Yi's good looks, she still reluctantly refused.

So much time has passed, and Lin Yi has never contacted her, not even once.

She's been too busy lately and forgot about it.

Qu Xiaoxiao was very curious: was she really that unattractive to Lin Yi?

I just wanted to have some fun and didn't want to take responsibility.

Lin Yi's words at the time almost made her die of anger.

"Andy, did you also buy your house from Lin Yi?" Qu Xiaoxiao asked in surprise.

“Yes.” Andy nodded.

Qu Xiaoxiao said, "He also picked out the house I got."

Andy was somewhat surprised: "Is it really such a coincidence?"

"Mmm." Qu Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "Putting everything else aside, his ability to pick out houses is really impressive."

Andy smiled and said, "Yes, I'm very satisfied with this house."

Qu Xiaoxiao asked, "Andy, what do you think of Lin Yi?"

Andy thought for a moment and said, "Lin Yi might be the next 'King of Hired Managers'."

After I got back, I had someone check him out. He now earns nearly 300 million yuan in commissions every year, and receives more than 100 million yuan in dividends from Jingyan Group.

Over the course of a year, the income is approximately 500 million.

However, I think that a 7% dividend from Jingyan Group alone won't be enough to win over Lin Yi; someone else will offer a higher price.

If Jingyan Group wants to win over Lin Yi, it must pay a higher price, or let Lin Yi fly away, which Ye Jinyan certainly wouldn't be willing to do.

Therefore, he will offer more money to match Lin Yi's value.

I estimate that Lin Yi's annual income will likely be around one billion yuan in the future.

"Fuck~"

Chapter 107 Andy treats everyone to dinner; Fan Shengmei and Qu Xiaoxiao have a fight.

Although Qu Xiaoxiao can be quite carefree at times, she is still very elegant in her behavior.

After all, she's a girl; going too far isn't good.

But after hearing Andy's words, Qu Xiaoxiao couldn't control herself and blurted out "Holy crap!"

This is absolutely Qu Xiaoxiao's most genuine feeling right now.

In Andy's view, Lin Yi will become the next "King of Hired Managers," and could very well earn a billion yuan a year.

How much does this cost?

Her family's total assets are estimated to be around one billion.

So all that wealth her father accumulated over half a lifetime was just someone else's annual salary?

How could Qu Xiaoxiao not be shocked?

Andy said, "Isn't your reaction a bit over the top?"

Qu Xiaoxiao said with a tearful regret, "Andy, do you know how much profit you're looking for in that project I just told you about?"

"How much?" Andy asked with a smile.

"Two million."

Qu Xiaoxiao said, "My small company works itself to the bone, and it takes a long time to earn a profit of two million."

Lin Yi earns 1 billion yuan a year working odd jobs. How do you think I feel about that?

The difference is just too big.

Andy listened and nodded, as if it were indeed true.

Qu Xiaoxiao asked, "Andy, don't you feel the same way?"

Andy shook his head and said, "Lin Yi is the absolute number one in real estate sales, which is normal. No matter what industry you're in, if you're number one, you'll reap enormous profits."

If I were to become a top-tier CFO, I estimate my annual salary would be... I'd probably also be...

Andy paused as he spoke.

Andy said, "I suddenly understand how you feel. Even if I reach the top in this industry, it's hard to earn an annual salary of one billion."

Unless I start my own business or become a shareholder in a successful company and receive dividends every year.

If I were just a regular employee, I could never earn this much salary in my entire life.

Unless you start your own business or find a large company to receive substantial bonuses, you can forget about earning a billion-dollar annual salary in your lifetime.
