Chapter 226: Negotiation (Part Two)   The only person Shangguan Ning didn’t recognize was a relatively pale but elegant woman sitting next to Ji Bo.

After Ji Bo introduced his family members cum shareholders, he turned to the woman next to him with a mild expression on the face. “This is my fiancée, Lan Yu. She will take care of the financial affairs of Family Ji’s Enterprise, so she is here today.”

Ji Bo was a tall and strong-built man who was born in a very famous family. He was handsome and good-looking. He was charismatically gentle and could deal with people well enough. He only lost temper on rare occasions and all those times were because of Jing Yichen.

Shangguan Ning was not surprised that he had got a fiancée. Ji Lili had dreamt about marrying Ji Bo but they were not only cousins, Ji Lili also had a terrible temper and wouldn’t have been accepted by Ji Bo. But Shangguan Ning had not expected that Ji Bo would bring his fiancee to the negotiation table, mixing private and business matters.

Lan Yu was a woman who belonged to a wealthy family. Just like, Ji Jiameng, she was well-seated and behaving elegantly. She was staring at Jing Yichen, but not with any affection.

After the introduction, Jing Yichen said softly, “This is my wife and several assistants. Now, let’s begin.”

Ji Bo had previously given Shangguan Ning properties that were worth tens of billions of yuan because of Ji Lili. So he knew the relationship between Shangguan Ning and Jing Yichen. But the rest of the people next to him had not expected that Shangguan Ning was his wife. They all turned to look at Shangguan Ning in astonishment.

Although Jing Yichen had brought two women with him, but the baby-faced Lu who was dressed in a set of sportswear couldn’t have been his wife. So Shangguan Ning, who was sitting next to him and wearing an ordinary professional suit must be her.

Ji Jiameng and Ji Li had met Shangguan Ning at Ji Lili’s banquet, but years had gone by since then and they didn’t remember her name. Also, she had changed tremendously so they couldn’t recognize her.

Hearing Jing Yichen presenting her as his wife, everyone understood that she was Shangguan Ning, the culprit who had forced Ji Minyu to resign, driven Ji Lili abroad and made the entire family hand out tens of billions of yuan as compensation.

Ji Jiameng was surprised for a bit before she smiled gently. “Good to see an old friend. You have changed tremendously. I did not recognize you immediately. Don’t blame me for it, please.”

Shangguan Ning looked at her calmly and said, “We met just once and we never talked. I won’t blame you, because we are not friends.”

Ji Jiameng looked generous and graceful, yet Shangguan Ning didn’t believe that after what happened to Ji Lili, she would still regard her as a friend.

Apparently, Ji Jiameng didn’t expect that Shangguan Ning would confront her like this. Anger flashed in her eyes for a moment before she calmed herself. She leaned herself against the chair and stopped talking.

The financial business was a huge piece of fatty meat that everyone wanted to have a piece of and Ji Bo was the only one who held the control of it for the time being. She came here today to get a share and couldn’t embarrass herself in front of Ji Bo and Ji Ling.

At the negotiation table, Jing Yichen was rational and cold. He looked at Ji Jiameng and Ji Bo understood that he thought that Ji Jiameng was too noisy.

Although Ji Jiameng had just said a few words, yet Ji Bo understood it clearly after having conducted several meetings with Jing Yichen. Jing Yichen often went straight into the topic and hated any extra stuff. He didn’t want any chit chatting on the negotiation table.Read more chapter on vipnovel.com

Ji Bo thought the same. When it came to formal business negotiation, only business should be talked about. Another day could be booked and another method could be used for the remaining stuff. Negotiation was about money and didn’t need a distraction to be added on.

Without a moment of hesitation, he cut into the main topic. He was also a busy man to waste any time. “Master Jing, I will declare the position of our enterprise once again. We will not give up the domestic market shares. We know pretty well how powerful Jingsheng is, so if we ever give up, we will be swallowed by you, immediately. Therefore, we only agree to provide consultants and business instructions. But as soon as a new market is developed by you guys, we would need fifty percent shares.”

Ji Bo addressed Jing Yichen as “Master Jing”, because in business circles, “President Jing” was usually used for the former President Jing Zhongxiu, who still enjoyed a higher position than Jing Yichen.

Family Ji’s Enterprise had just opened private credit and folk financial services and the business had been rapidly developed through the contacts in the government and the banks. At the moment, the enterprise had monopolized the credit market of folk credits.

So it was very difficult for Jingsheng Enterprise to enter the arena and they needed Family Ji’s Enterprise to help them through. All the top managers of Jingsheng didn’t believe that it was possible, because Family Ji’s Enterprise exceeded Jingsheng only in this way and they wouldn’t offer Jingsheng their own channels. Otherwise they were just asking for a death wish.

Jing Yichen was here to turn the impossible into a possibility.

Family Ji’s Enterprise had more than one heir, which was different from Jingsheng Enterprise which had Jing Yichen as the only heir. Although Jing Yiran had got half of the inheritance, yet he had no power at all. Jingsheng was a completely isolated body whilst Family Ji would unavoidably face many conflicts of interests because of the four heirs.

Jing Yichen was making use of their conflicts to gain benefits for Jingsheng.

Now all the three heirs of Family Ji were here because Jing Yichen had made that possible.

“Family Ji wouldn’t have a hold over the domestic market forever. We will pay plenty if we get access to your channels. We can have a fifty-fifty partnership in the parts that are developed from your channel. Also, Jingsheng can provide you with a platform for overseas financial business. We promise that we won’t have other partners in the domestic market.”

Jing Yichen looked calm but his purpose was very clear – what he needed was Family Ji’s financial channels and when the domestic business would reach its full potential, overseas business will be the key point of future development. Family Ji’s Enterprise had put the focus of the projects abroad yet they were too weak to make the business progress at a good pace.

After hearing what he said, Ji Bo fell into contemplation. But Ji Jiameng and Ji Ling beside him both widened their eyes. Apparently, the prospect of overseas market attracted them. However, Ji Bo’s fiancée Lan Yu was expressionless. She was either unfamiliar with these matters or she just didn’t care.
