After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 80: More Clever Means
As night falls, the lights come on and the neon lights flash.

Looking out the windows of the Moss Saint Garden's private rooms, one can enjoy the magnificent river view. The wide field of vision fully demonstrates the restaurant's grandeur. At the same time, the decoration and layout also have a unique harbor-style petty bourgeoisie atmosphere.

This place later became an ordinary restaurant.

So much so that even after Zhou Haoran achieved success, he would not come here.

When the Moss Holy Garden was at its most prosperous, Zhou Haoran was a poor boy who could not afford to come; after the Moss Holy Garden fell into decline, Zhou Haoran became very successful and was too disdainful to come.

This was the first time in his two lifetimes that he came to the Moss Holy Garden Restaurant.

Jiang Feibiao gave a warm welcome.

He was accompanied by a female companion who was young, beautiful and had a fresh temperament. She was not the Secretary Jia whom I met yesterday.

After asking, I found out that the girl's surname was Xu and she was a junior student at the Conservatory of Music.

Zhou Haoran could only secretly envy Jiang Feibiao's extravagant life.

"Chief Zhou, here's the menu. What else would you like to eat?"

Jiang Feibiao handed the menu to Xiao Mi beside him.

The girl stood up obediently and handed over the menu with a smile.

"Thank you, that's great. Tonight we'll mainly discuss cooperation."

Zhou Haoran was not very comfortable with this scene.

It's too grand, seems out of place, too nouveau, and too low-class.

There were only three people present.

It’s actually enough to have a small private room and a small table. How harmonious and warm the atmosphere would be then?

This is great, a big box and a big table.

Jiang Feibiao sat at that end and Zhou Haoran sat at this end.

Three or four meters apart.

I almost want to shout when I speak.

Jiang Feibiao said with a laugh: "We have to discuss cooperation, but we also have to eat well!"

"That's right. Mr. Jiang is hosting today, so we should just follow the host's wishes and follow Mr. Jiang's arrangements!"

Zhou Haoran laughed heartily.

We have to highlight Jiang Feibiao and emphasize that he is the host.

This feast even includes rare birds and poisonous snakes. A plate of swan meat costs several hundred yuan, and the whole meal may cost three or four thousand yuan.

Jiang Feibiao must pay the bill. If Zhou Haoran is asked to pay, he doesn't have the money.

"Chief Zhou, what's going on with your station?" Jiang Feibiao said, a little unhappy. "We've been cooperating for several years, why are you suddenly saying you don't want to cooperate this time?"

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "The management at the station is very strict now. Some salespeople made mistakes before and were fired."

Jiang Feibiao remained unmoved and questioned, "They made a mistake. What does that have to do with our cooperation?"

Zhou Haoran sighed and said, "Those grassroots salespeople are also working here, and it's not easy either. I hope Mr. Jiang can understand."

"I understand, I understand!" Jiang Feibiao laughed heartily, and inexplicably jumped up, reaching out and putting his hand on Xiao Mi's shoulder. "I am the most understanding person, right, Mingming?"

Zhou Haoran wanted to cooperate with him and finish the dirty talk, saying "It's not about being considerate, it's about being understanding of people's clothes."

Dirty jokes are the best tool to liven up the atmosphere between men at the dinner table.

But the female college student, Ms. Xu, showed obvious discomfort.

Zhou Haoran stopped talking when the words were on the tip of his tongue.

After all, it was only 96, and social customs were still simple. Most women remained virgins before getting married.

Zhou Haoran smiled and asked, "Boss Jiang, what is our factory's advertising budget for the second half of the year?"

"Can you say that?"

Jiang Feibiao glanced at him.

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "I mainly want to make a comprehensive plan for our cooperation based on the budget amount."

Jiang Feibiao said proudly, "As for the market feedback on the Narcissus washing machine, you can ask any department store and you'll know. We're a state-owned factory, we're not short of money!"

Zhou Haoran nodded. "That's good. It seems that Mr. Jiang has a chance to make a lot of money!"

Hearing this, Jiang Feibiao was very happy and narrowed his eyes. "Chief Zhou, is the number you mentioned reliable?"

Seeing that he was being cryptic, Zhou Haoran said, "Boss Jiang, how about we talk alone?"

Jiang Feibiao patted Xiao Mi's shoulder.

Ms. Xu smiled and said, "Brother Jiang, Brother Zhou, I'll excuse myself for now. I'm going to the bathroom. You guys can chat slowly."

Zhou Haoran had to take the initiative, so he stood up, moved a chair, and sat down next to Jiang Feibiao. "Mr. Jiang, I told you before, let alone a 25% rebate, even a 50% rebate would still work!"

Jiang Feibiao's face flushed. "The salesman before said that even a 25% rebate was impossible. He only offered 15% at most. He said that this was the rule of your Red Star TV station."

"Well, there is indeed such a rule in the station."

"What should I do?"

"We can find a way!"

Zhou Haoran smiled.

Jiang Feibiao was no match for this old hand. He was immediately hooked by his opponent's hook. His eyes lit up and he asked expectantly, "What's the plan? Chief Zhou is obviously an expert!"

Zhou Haoran would not easily reveal the answer.

You have to build up enough anticipation.

Let the other party always follow your own ideas, so that you can understand their psychology and make the final decision.

"Fear" is the most lethal means of psychological offensive.

Zhou Haoran said in a deep voice, "Boss Jiang should know something about what happened before. Red Star TV is cracking down on corruption in the sales department, and many state-owned factories have been affected. We have many old customers, and many have been punished as a result. Not only have they lost their jobs, but some have even been arrested."

Jiang Feibiao didn't take it seriously after hearing this and said calmly, "It doesn't affect me."

Zhou Haoran said sternly, "Boss Jiang is very powerful, I know that. Once or twice is fine, but if it happens three, five, ten, or eight times... over time, it won't be good for your reputation. Once your reputation is bad, many things will become very troublesome."

"Ah."

When Jiang Feibiao heard this, he agreed with it deeply.

He is in such a dilemma now.

His reputation within the washing machine factory was so bad that even as Vice President he wasn't eligible to attend the factory-run meetings of the decision-making body. The nominal reason given was that he was too young, but in reality, there were too many negative rumors and they had to be mindful of the impact.

Zhou Haoran said, "So, when Mr. Jiang is selecting a partner, it would be best if he could adopt some more subtle means."

"A more subtle method?"

Jiang Feibiao was deeply attracted by Chief Zhou's statement because it really touched his needs.

Zhou Haoran sighed and said, "There's no such thing as a completely impenetrable wall. If we continue to push for cooperation between the washing machine manufacturer and the TV station directly as before, it will easily lead to problems. Many salespeople at the station have been fired."

Jiang Feibiao was itching to do something, and he said impatiently, "Chief Zhou, just tell me the truth! What should I do?! I can see that you are a capable person. Give me some advice. I will definitely not treat you unfairly in the future!"

Zhou Haoran still had to be mysterious and say something the other party couldn't understand, "Find an agent!"
