"I admit what you say has a bit of merit, but anyway, no matter what, I will not change the company's management strategy."

In the end, Wang Erhai said this one sentence to Liu Mei Qi, clearly indicating his attitude.

"How can you be so stubborn?"

Liu Mei Qi was infuriated by Wang Erhai's attitude.

Wang Erhai then explained:

"I'm very sorry, Shanhai Real Estate is not my Shanhai Real Estate alone; it is more my big brother's heart and blood. This Shanhai Real Estate in the county town is merely a small branch company, so in terms of management strategy, my big brother holds complete decision-making authority. I admit your strategy can boost performance in the short term, but I know my big brother's character; he certainly will not agree with your approach."

Upon hearing this, Liu Mei Qi was quite speechless.

She thought for a moment, then let out a cold laugh:

"Bottom line, you still don't fully accept me in your heart. Your big brother is in Guangzhou; his whip is too short to reach here. Isn't it still you who calls the shots around here? How about this: let's make a bet."

"A bet?"

Wang Erhai was stunned for a moment, and asked:

"Bet on what?"

Liu Mei Qi then said:

"You let me form a sales team in your company, let my sales team compete on performance against your sales team. If my sales team wins, you must admit my sales strategy is more effective than yours. Additionally, I want to buy into your company and become one of the major shareholders of Shanhai Real Estate's Foshan Branch Company, and I need to hold decision-making authority."

Liu Mei Qi put the matter very plainly.

Wang Erhai was immediately surprised:

"So, after saying so many words, going around so many bends, your ultimate goal is to take away Shanhai Real Estate?"

Liu Mei Qi, however, laughed and said:

"Don't put it like that. I just see good prospects for Shanhai Real Estate's development. After all, Shanhai Real Estate has Niu Chunsheng's support, Zhang Zong's assistance, and the County Government Leader's care. I heard your younger brother is this year's Top Scorer Wang Xiaohua. The reason Shanhai Real Estate could open a branch in the county town was because Deputy County Magistrate Xiao Xueqing pulled strings. A company with such connections would find it hard not to grow strong and large. Rest assured, when the time comes for the equity investment, I will have a professional institution conduct a market valuation of Shanhai Real Estate, and I won't shortchange you a single cent."

Wang Erhai frowned:

"My big brother won't agree."

Liu Mei Qi, however, said:

"I'm only buying into our county town branch company, not the headquarters. That doesn't require him to make the decision, right?"

Liu Mei Qi laughed and said:

"Besides, this is a cooperation. Why would he be unwilling?"

Wang Erhai asked:

"What if I refuse this bet of yours?"

Actually, the main reason was that Wang Erhai himself was unwilling.

He was just preparing to make a grand showing and build a career.

This woman Liu Mei Qi suddenly intervened; anyone with even a bit of desire for control would be unhappy.

This has nothing to do with how much money is made; it's a matter of dignity and face.

He was clearly the top person in charge, yet was being bossed around by a woman. Who could stand that?

Liu Mei Qi laughed out loud, and she said:

"I originally planned to buy in directly, but seeing your management philosophy is so backward, I decided to give you a chance. If you lose, I can help you correct your management philosophy. If you win, it shows our ways don't align and we shouldn't work together. Such a good thing — why wouldn't you agree? Don't you have a bit of a man's mettle? If you really want to act like a coward, then I can only honestly report the situation to Zhang Zong, and have Zhang Zong pressure Niu Chunsheng to take back the Spring City Real Estate sales agency rights."

Hearing these words, Wang Erhai then understood: Liu Mei Qi was not communicating with him on equal terms at all. As Huangsheng's Sales Champion, as the person Huangsheng's Zhang Zong personally sent down to Shanhai Real Estate, with Zhang Zong's backing behind her, everything she did was naturally done with Zhang Zong's authorization.

If he chose to fall out with Liu Mei Qi at this time, it would seriously damage Shanhai Real Estate's layout in the county town.

Wang Erhai was very certain that Huangsheng's boss Zhang Sheng definitely had the ability to make Niu Chunsheng take back the sales agency rights. After all, Zhang Zong is one of the major shareholders of Spring City Real Estate.

In this situation, Wang Erhai had almost no choice.

Either compromise, or gamble with Liu Mei Qi.

The only way out was to win this bet.

"Fine, then I'll bet with you. I'm not afraid of you!"

Wang Erhai could only change his tune in the end.

He was completely forced into a corner; this change of tune sounded resounding, but in reality was born of helplessness.

"A wise man submits to circumstances. That's more like it. I'm giving you this chance to bet with me; you ought to be thanking me."

Liu Mei Qi gave a bewitching laugh, and she also said:

"Rest assured, I won't bully you, little brother. I'll give you a bit of an advantage. The sales team you've currently built has a total of eight salespeople. The sales team I'll build only needs five salespeople. In terms of headcount, I'm giving you an advantage. In terms of sales volume, I'm also giving you an advantage. You only need to reach ninety percent of my team's sales volume, and I'll count it as your win."

Liu Mei Qi was extremely confident in herself.

After all, she is Huangsheng's Sales Champion; she has the experience and the ability.

There's another very important point: in her view, Shanhai Real Estate's so-called sincere management strategy is simply a damn stupid thing.

In this day and age, who still foolishly goes about sincere management?

If you don't play a few tricks, how can you keep the business going?

It's not that sincere management doesn't work; it's that sincere management is destined to be unable to grow strong and large. If you want to grow strong and large, don't treat customers too much like people; treat them like fat pigs to be slaughtered, like leeks to be harvested.

This is a very cruel reality, but it is also a fact universally existing in this society with distorted values.

Just look at the real estate industry: which one truly builds houses for ordinary people with sincerity? Which real estate developer isn't here to make quick money?

Even powerful ones like Evergrande, Country Garden, Vanke, and other real estate firms never dared to publicly claim they practice sincere management.

Liu Mei Qi has been in this line of work longer than Wang Erhai; the truths and inside stories she knows are far more numerous than what Wang Erhai knows.

This is also the reason why she does not look favorably on Shanhai Real Estate's current business strategy.

And if she is to take a shareholding in Shanhai Real Estate, to bind her interests with Shanhai Real Estate, then she cannot let herself suffer a loss; and to not let herself suffer a loss, she must overturn Shanhai Real Estate's business strategy and employ a completely new set of business strategies that can capture clients more quickly.

Therefore she proactively proposed a wager, using this method to make Wang Erhai bow his head and submit.

"Don't underestimate me; I'll allow you to form a sales team of the same scale as mine, and as for sales volume, I will definitely exceed you!"

Seeing Liu Mei Qi look down on him like this, Wang Erhai couldn't help but feel anger rise in his heart.

At the same time, a fighting spirit ignited.

Since Liu Mei Qi thinks so little of him, he must produce some results, and properly give Liu Mei Qi's nauseating face a good beating!
