90s: You are all reborn, who will spoil you?

When Dong Ming heard this, he suddenly raised his head and burst into a heroic and hearty laugh. The hearty sound echoed like a bell, instantly filling every inch of the conference room.

"Girl, you said you are also a representative?"

"May I ask how old the young representative is?"

Xie Yan's lips curled up slightly. She swiftly took out a notebook and a thick stack of documents from her backpack and gently placed them on the table.

"I'm eight years old," Xie Yan replied crisply, opening the file with deft hands. "Uncle, as the saying goes, a hero's origins are not judged, so age shouldn't be the yardstick for measuring ability."

"Haha, interesting, interesting!" Dong Ming laughed again, his eyes full of interest. He stared closely at Xie Yan, then sat down steadily, focusing all his attention on this little girl who was young but had an extraordinary aura. "Little representative, then please introduce your project to us."

Xie Yan once again presented the information that had been presented at the board meeting to Dong Ming.

Dong Ming's facial expression changed from disdain at the beginning to respect and then to appreciation.

"Haha, wonderful, wonderful! You have such knowledge and strategy at such a young age, it's really impressive!" Dong Ming stood up while clapping, his eyes full of appreciation and admiration, as if he was looking at a bright new star that was rising.

He strode up to Xie Yan, leaned down slightly, and looked her in the eye. His tone was sincere and solemn, "Young representative, your project planning is so thorough and your ideas are so innovative that even I, a veteran in the business world, feel inferior. I, Dong Ming, have been in the business world for many years and have met many young talents, but it is rare to find someone as young as you who has such vision and ability."

Xie Yan smiled faintly and responded calmly, "Uncle Dong, you're too kind. I was just honestly sharing my ideas and plans for the project. And I believe that as long as a project is valuable and promising, regardless of the age of the proposer, it should be valued and recognized."

After hearing this, Dong Ming nodded heavily, a glint of approval flashing in his eyes. "Well said! Ambition transcends age. Your confidence and courage are exactly the qualities needed to achieve great things."

"However, I still can't help but ask a few more questions. In your entire plan, the most crucial core part—" Dong Ming's expression faltered, the usual smile on his lips quietly disappeared, and his face became serious. "What exactly makes you so sure that my country will successfully join the WTO around 2000? And how can you guarantee that your products will stand out in the fierce market competition, surpass those prestigious international brands, and successfully enter Walmart supermarkets?"

"Representative Xie, you are aware that the scale and influence of Walmart are far beyond your ability to easily estimate."

Xie Yan looked calm and nodded slightly. "Of course I know. Wal-Mart, as a unique retail company among the Fortune 50, is the third largest company in the United States. It has approximately 4000 stores worldwide and employs approximately 114 million people worldwide."

"I wonder if what I said is accurate?"

When Dong Ming heard this, he was slightly stunned, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He had only mentioned these data casually before, without any in-depth understanding or verification. He did not expect that the little girl in front of him could blurt them out so clearly and accurately.

Ma Yao, who was standing aside, was also shocked. Although he was a professional in economics, he still needed to use a dictionary to look up the authoritative American business publications such as Fortune magazine word by word. But this little girl in front of him not only read Fortune magazine, but also could accurately analyze and memorize the data in it?

"Ah?" Dong Ming came back to his senses and quickly responded, "Yes, yes, you are absolutely right."

Xie Yan nodded again and smiled confidently, "Of course I'm fully confident that our factory's products can be successfully introduced into the Walmart supermarkets in City N. We can start by expanding into one Walmart supermarket and gradually expand into the entire Walmart supermarket market."

"Besides, as long as we survive this year's financial crisis, we will be able to face vast domestic and international markets. Uncle Dong, with such great potential and prospects, are you really not considering long-term cooperation with us?"

Dong Ming stopped talking and just sat in his seat thinking quietly.

Ma Yao was a little anxious. He wanted to add something, but felt he had no idea where to start. In the end, he gave up and sat next to Xie Yan, waiting silently.

"Thank you, Representative. I need to think about this matter again." Dong Ming thought for a long time and finally gave this answer.

However, he did not use the term "little representative" but the respectful term "Xie Representative".

When Ma Yao heard this, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but Xie Yan remained calm. She slowly picked up the coffee and took a sip. All this was within her expectations.

"Okay, Uncle Dong. If you think cooperating with us is a good choice after weighing the pros and cons, you can come to N City to find me." Xie Yan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a polite and confident smile.

In the end, Ma Yao walked out of the Oriental Cotton Mill with Xie Yan, feeling very disappointed.

Looking at Ma Yao's dejected look, Xie Yan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Ma Yao asked Xie Yan with a puzzled look on his face, "It's already this late, and you're still in the mood to laugh? What's so funny?"

Xie Yan waved her hand gently and said calmly, "Uncle Ma, judging by your reaction, I guess you rarely negotiate with others and don't have a good understanding of human nature."

Ma Yao was slightly stunned, completely failing to understand the deeper meaning of Xie Yan's words.

He just felt that the first cotton mill he visited had encountered such a bad situation. The other party's reply of "I'll think about it" was equivalent to telling him directly that "there is no hope".

Xie Yan shook her head helplessly and was too lazy to explain further to Ma Yao.

In her opinion, Ma Yao has had a smooth journey since he started working, rarely suffered setbacks, and has never had extensive contact with all kinds of people. It is inevitable that his ideas appear simple and shallow.

Although she looks like an eight-year-old girl, she has the mature mind of a thirty-year-old. Why bother with such a greenhorn with little experience?

Next, the two of them visited several cotton mills in City Z one after another, but the responses they received were all the same, and none of them showed a clear intention to cooperate.

Xie Yan couldn't help but sigh, it still didn't work.

She slammed the table vigorously and said to the driver decisively, "Uncle, please take us back to get our household registration books. We need to rush to the provincial capital and take a flight to Guangdong Province tomorrow morning."
