Chapter 433: Two Women Negotiate, Each More Shrewd Than the Last

~8 min read 1,443 words

(The protagonist will have his own career ahead, not just investments.)

Life is like a chessboard; opportunities are fleeting.

Approaching their senior year, students in the same cohort were all worrying about internships; if she could secure a decent job in advance, Chen Xiaowei would naturally be one hundred percent willing.

"Currently, I have obtained these certificates: Junior Accountant, Junior Auditor, Junior Economist, Computer Level 2, English CET-6, and Mandarin Level 2-A. My professional course grades are ranked third in the grade."

Shen Yan nodded with satisfaction: "It seems the senior is not only outstanding in personal ability but also a top-tier student. I am not yet certain about the job, but I will give you an answer before May Day."

"Then I will wait for the junior's news," Chen Xiaowei said prettily.

In the depths of her heart, she had a feeling that this unique junior before her was not joking.

It was very likely he would give her a big surprise.

At this moment, the round-faced girl beside her couldn't help but interject: "Brother Rice Noodle, my name is Wu Yuanyuan. I am Xiaowei's roommate and classmate, and my professional grades are ranked seventh in the grade. If there are any extra job openings, please give me a chance to prove myself."

"Easy to say. We are all alumni; if there are good positions, I will definitely prioritize our own people."

Shen Yan really wasn't just being polite with this sentence.

At this stage, what he lacked most were talents with a background in finance and accounting who were also trustworthy.

With Chen Xiaowei's upright and unyielding personality, those who could become her friends were likely not petty people.

Although it was just a vague promise, it still made Wu Yuanyuan beam with joy.

She thanked Shen Yan without delay.

After the conversation ended, Wu Yueer asked curiously in a low voice: "Why did you suddenly start recruiting talent? Are you planning to open a company?"

"No, I've taken a fancy to a few industries and am preparing to invest. I need people to help monitor the finances."

The two women suddenly realized and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Investing is good; there's no need to do everything personally, which saves one from being so busy that they can't be seen all day long.

"Love really needs courage, to face the gossip..."

At this moment, a soft singing voice rang out. Wu Yueer took out her phone and looked.

It was a call from Luo Qiqi.

"Hello! Qiqi."

Luo Qiqi: "Yue'er, I'm at the entrance of the milk tea shop. You aren't in the shop?"

"I'm eating outside. Is something the matter?"

"There's a business deal I want to discuss with you. About when will you be back?"

"I'm eating at a grilled fish restaurant. Why don't you just come over here?"

In less than three minutes, Luo Qiqi's figure appeared at the grilled fish restaurant, holding a roll of coated paper in her hand.

Seeing the scene of the three of them eating together, Luo Qiqi did not feel the slightest surprise.

She sat down next to Chen Shanni with poise.

Opposite her were Wu Yueer and Shen Yan.

Wu Yueer didn't care about the status of this "love rival" at all and greeted her warmly: "Have you eaten? Do you want me to add another pair of chopsticks?"

Luo Qiqi waved her hand: "No need, I already ate before coming over."

"What is this business deal you mentioned?"

Luo Qiqi straightened her body slightly, glanced at Chen Xiaowei at the neighboring table, and then lowered her voice to state her purpose: "It's like this. I think the foot traffic in your shop is quite good. Why don't we join forces? I'll post driving school recruitment posters in your shop, you help me attract customers, and after the deal is closed, I'll give you a commission."

Shen Yan silently gave Luo Qiqi a thumbs-up in his heart.

This girl was born to do business; her eyes were like torches and her mind was flexible. The milk tea shop had only just started operating, and she had already discovered a way to make money from it so quickly.

The milk tea shop was located in the center of Gourmet Street, encompassing nearly ninety thousand students from two colleges, as well as customers coming and going.

In terms of foot traffic, it left the small convenience stores in the dorm buildings miles behind.

Moreover, with such a large shop placed there, there was no need to worry about issues like credibility or safety.

If operated properly, it would definitely be a considerable income.

With Wu Yueer's brain, how could she not understand the feasibility of this? A sharp glint flashed in her eyes.

Isn't this just asking her to be a secondary agent?

Just like Tang Song.

With the initiative in her hands, Wu Yueer said unhurriedly: "You first tell me how much your commission is and how much you plan to return as a rebate. Don't try to fool me; you should know there are so many driving school agents that I don't necessarily have to cooperate with you."

A difficult fox!

With just one sentence, Luo Qiqi labeled Wu Yueer as such.

It seemed there was no way to take advantage; she could only play the emotional card.

After all, the advantage was not on her side.

Without minding that Shen Yan and Chen Shanni were present, Luo Qiqi pursed her lips and answered truthfully: "For every student recruited, my commission is six hundred yuan. We are good friends, so I won't lie to you. I still have Intermediate Agents and Senior Agents above me, so there is a lot of room for negotiation regarding this commission.

As for the rebate I give you... the specific amount depends on the number of students recruited each month. Only if there are many students will I have the confidence to negotiate with the driving school.

As far as I know, recruiting 50 students per month allows one to become an Intermediate Agent, and recruiting 100 people makes one a Senior Agent, with a commission of 1200 per person.

How about this: no matter what commission we end up negotiating, how about we split it nine-to-one?"

Daring to offer such a high split, Luo Qiqi had thought it through carefully.

Not to mention the extra income earned from the milk tea shop, once a large number of students were recruited and she became a Senior Agent, she could enjoy the highest level of commission on students recruited from other places as well.

It was a completely win-win situation.

Why not do it?

Hearing this, Wu Yueer couldn't help but click her tongue secretly. My goodness, it's actually this profitable.

The driving school is too unscrupulous!

As for this split, Wu Yueer was generally satisfied. It didn't require much effort; just post a poster in the shop, and if anyone asked, let the staff answer.

Whether it succeeds or not is up to fate.

At worst, I'll just distribute some money to the shop assistants as an incentive.

If operated properly, earning tens of thousands, or even over a hundred thousand a month, is entirely possible.

However, the benefits that should be fought for must be fought for.

Wu Yueer crossed her legs, her words filled with thick confidence.

"I think the commission ratio needs to be discussed further; if the number of people I bring in is low and you don't reach Intermediate or Senior Agent, then we'll stick to a 9-1 split, but if you promote to a higher level, the ratio must change to 99%."

"This way, the clients you bring in from other places can also enjoy a higher commission."

In truth, if it weren't for the sake of their friendship and her own laziness to deal with the hassle, Wu Yueer wouldn't even have to give one percent.

People willing to pay out of their own pockets just to drum up business are a dime a dozen outside.

Well done!

Shen Yan gave Huniu a thumbs-up in his heart; from a commercial standpoint, this negotiation tactic was perfect.

Originally, he was still hesitating whether to offer a reminder, but now it saved him the trouble.

After all, the person on the other side was Luo Qiqi.

If he gave such a reminder, he reckoned this girl would hate him to death, and it might even cause her to blow up on the spot.

He had kissed her just a few days ago, and now he was stabbing her in the back.

Is this something a human would do?
