Protagonist:
Jiang Wenyu
As evening approached, Miles returned alone to his lodgings, dejected.
At the same time, inside the office of Miaoshou Jiang Electrical Appliance Company.
Jiang Wenyu and Li Chen leisurely drank the tea leaves they had bought a few days earlier, while Bai Mulin rested to one side; then the door opened, and Zhou Shi finally returned here.
"How did it go?" Jiang Wenyu asked.
Zhou Shi sat down before answering, saying: "He seems somewhat disappointed, though not too obviously."
Jiang Wenyu smiled slightly and said: "This fellow is quite capable; truly, it's impressive he can hold his temper."
Li Chen asked curiously: "I say, will this really work? I understand what you're trying to do, but what if they just get angry and leave outright?"
Before Jiang Wenyu could answer, Zhou Shi spoke first, saying: "Probably not. Although he's from the Foreign Chamber of Commerce, he came to the country this time to find a company offering good quality at a low price. Your company happens to meet all his requirements—indeed, nationwide, yours may be the only appliance company with both good quality and low prices. So when I found him, he agreed without hesitation."
Jiang Wenyu nodded and continued: "So he won't leave easily. Now that he hasn't come to me on his own initiative, it's simply that he doesn't want to give up the dominant position. After all, if he ultimately refuses to cooperate, no matter how hard we try, it's useless."
Li Chen said after understanding: "I understand the reasoning, but this man doesn't look easy to deal with at first glance. These foreigners are all very shrewd; we should still be careful."
Jiang Wenyu smiled: "Don't worry. Although he's shrewd, we're not bad either. Now we just need to wear down his patience, keep wearing it down, until his patience is completely exhausted, then we'll deliver the 'fatal blow'."
Yes, everything today was a play they directed and acted in themselves; the ultimate goal was to exhaust Miles's patience. Ordinary methods really wouldn't work against a clever businessman like him, of course the ultimate goal was still to cooperate with him, but they must maintain the current 85 percent price—this was Jiang Wenyu's bottom line.
Thus, early the next morning, Zhou Shi found Miles again.
The same routine, the same restaurant, only the dishes were different. Today, not only was Jiang Wenyu absent, but Li Chen was too.
After sitting down, the usually silent Zhou Shi stopped paying attention and ate and drank on his own. Bai Mulin kindly ordered the dishes, finally pointing to a dish of eggplant and saying: "This is also a specialty of Chema City, Pumpkin Eggplant. Mr. Miles, eat more."
The latter had actually improved quite a bit after calming down last night, but after arriving at the same place today, he still didn't see Jiang Wenyu.
More than half the meal had passed; in the blink of an eye, an hour went by. During this time, Miles only asked once why Jiang Wenyu hadn't come, and Bai Mulin's answer was still that the company seemed to have urgent business.
After that, Miles didn't ask another word, until around two in the afternoon, when he finally chose to leave the restaurant on his own initiative.
After returning to the hotel, his expression gradually became not calm, his expression was very unpleasant, and he muttered to himself: "What on earth are they up to? Why won't they let me see Jiang Wenyu? Are they dissatisfied? Don't they want to cooperate, or is it a price issue? But I haven't discussed price issues at all, although it's indeed not my ideal price... but I haven't even started negotiating yet. How can I negotiate if I can't even see the person?"
His thoughts coincided remarkably with Jiang Wenyu's.
After their first meeting, Jiang Wenyu knew Miles was dissatisfied with this price. Since he was dissatisfied, he would surely choose to negotiate, but Jiang Wenyu didn't give him that opportunity; instead, every day he used the same excuse to wear down his patience.
The dominant position was indeed in the other party's hands, but Jiang Wenyu's side had its own methods. Although doing this seemed a bit unscrupulous, it was all for the development and growth of the company.
For this reason, this play lasted a total of four days from beginning to end.
During these days, the company operated as usual. Jiang Wenyu actually had plenty of time, but he was also repairing appliances together with the employees. Those 69,000 products decreased every day, and many repaired products piled up.
And Miles? At this time, he was still at his lodgings. It was already nine in the morning, but he hadn't gotten up at all. He only felt his stomach was bloated and he couldn't eat anything anymore.
A full four days. Every day he was called to the restaurant to eat and drink with Zhou Shi, Bai Mulin, and Li Chen in rotation. Sometimes one or two of them were missing, sometimes all three appeared, but Jiang Wenyu was never seen.
Several times he even wanted to go find Jiang Wenyu himself, but since he held the dominant position, he didn't want to give up like that. However, after a full four days, he finally couldn't hold on anymore. His patience had only a tiny bit left.
He really couldn't figure out what Jiang Wenyu and his group were up to, though he could vaguely tell it was because of the price issue. But surely they wouldn't refuse to see him over that? What was the point of continuing to wear him down?
"Patience... patience?"
Suddenly, Miles, lying on the bed, sat up abruptly, his expression full of astonishment.
"Could it be to keep wearing down my patience, until I go find him on my own initiative?"
