Chapter 296 Let them roll it up themselves!
Although he had greatly increased his influence within the group and made a fortune by relying on the Asian agency rights for the beauty serum he obtained from Jiang Jing, he knew deep down that compared to the prestige and tactics his father had accumulated over decades, he was still far behind.
In his heart, he desperately craved the truly advanced black technology in Jiang Jing's hands—neural sensing and the Brain-controlled robot.
This would allow him to establish an unshakable position within the group in one fell swoop, and even lead Yixing Group to surpass those old-money European and American conglomerates, becoming the world's number one conglomerate.
Looking at his son's respectful attitude, a trace of satisfaction flashed in Li Xinhai's eyes.
He changed the subject and began to arrange his next move: "You have been operating in the Dragon Country for many years; you must have accumulated some connections and resources, right?"
"Yes, Father. There are some partners whose interests align with ours, as well as some... people who can be driven by special means." Lee Hyun-ki nodded.
"Very good." A sharp light flashed in Li Xinhai's eyes.
"Use these connections to find a way to get close to Jiang Jing and cater to his preferences."
"Doesn't he like beautiful women and luxury? Start from these aspects."
"It would be best to create an opportunity to invite him to visit our South Korea for leisure, inspection, or academic exchange."
His tone turned dangerous: "As long as he steps onto our land and leaves the Dragon Country's strict protection circle... then the space we have to maneuver will be much larger."
"At that time, whether we cooperate or resort to some other means, the initiative will be in our hands."
A sinister smile, inconsistent with his handsome appearance, curled at the corners of Lee Hyun-ki's mouth, his eyes filled with determination: "I understand, Father. I will make arrangements immediately and will definitely find a way to 'invite' him over!"
Meanwhile, at the Xingchen Technology headquarters in Rong City, Dragon Country.
In the CEO's office, Jiang Yan looked at the thick stack of cooperation proposals and appointment letters sent in by her secretary, feeling a mix of amusement and helplessness.
The signatures on these proposals and letters—any one of them—were names that were thunderous in the global business world.
Mayo Clinic from the USA, L'Oréal Group, Estée Lauder Group, investment companies under Amazon...
There were even a few old European family funds with deep backgrounds and low profiles.
It could be said that nearly half of the Fortune 500 giants involved in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, retail, and investment had arrived!
And their goal was surprisingly consistent—they hoped to obtain the agency rights for the huanyan beauty serum in the Americas, Europe, and even globally.
"That guy, the boss... has the influence of the things he created already radiated across the whole world?"
Jiang Yan rubbed her temples, feeling both proud and pressured.
These giants were not easy to deal with; every one of them was an old fox when it came to negotiations.
She first had her assistant properly settle these giant representatives who had already arrived in Rong City or were on their way, promising to arrange meetings as soon as possible.
Then, she picked up her phone and dialed Jiang Jing's number.
In this situation, the pricing and cooperation model had to be decided by the big boss himself.
In the Imperial Hotel suite, Jiang Jing had just finished teasing his new girlfriends, Zhou Wanqin and Lin Hong. He was in a good mood. Seeing the call from the beautiful CEO Jiang Yan, he answered with a smile:
"Hello, beautiful Jiang, what made you think of calling me? Do you miss me?"
As soon as the call connected, Jiang Jing's unserious voice came through.
Jiang Yan on the other end was already used to his lack of seriousness and retorted indignantly: "Pah, who misses you!"
"I'm about to be drowned by your beauty serum over here. I'm so busy I barely have time to stand, how would I have time to miss you!"
"Oh? What's going on?" Jiang Jing became interested and leaned comfortably on the sofa.
Jiang Yan said with a hint of exaggerated helplessness: "What else could it be? Your beauty serum is selling like crazy in the Asian market, especially in South Korea and Sakura Country; it's selling like mad!"
"Now, those European and American giants can't sit still. Like sharks smelling blood, they've all pounced on Rong City!"
She began to list them off: "Mayo Clinic wants to discuss pharmaceutical channel cooperation, L'Oréal and Estée Lauder want to buy out the formula or discuss global beauty channel agency, and Amazon wants to do exclusive online sales..."
"There are also a few family funds with deep backgrounds that want to get a piece of the action."
"Now, outside my office, it's almost becoming a waiting room for Fortune 500 representatives!"
Listening to Jiang Yan's report, the smile on Jiang Jing's face grew wider and wider.
He had anticipated this situation, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.
He took a sip of water and asked slowly: "So? Is CEO Jiang scared by this scene? Did you come to me for help?"
"Scared is not the word, it's just a bit of... happy trouble." Jiang Yan laughed too.
"The key is that these people have big appetites. They are asking for American agency rights or global agency rights right off the bat."
"I don't dare to set the pricing and cooperation model casually; the big boss needs to make the final decision personally."
"Tell me, what's a reasonable price for our agency rights? It can't be lower than what we gave Yixing Group, right?"
A flash of cunning crossed Jiang Jing's eyes, and he said casually: "What's so difficult about that? Aren't they rich? Then set the price high!"
On the other end of the line, hearing Jiang Jing's "set it high," Jiang Yan couldn't help but chuckle. This boss's style was truly consistent.
She continued to ask: "Understood, we will handle the pricing with discretion."
"Apart from price, are there any other requirements or restrictions? For example, the division of agency regions?"
Jiang Jing leisurely swirled the water glass in his hand, his tone casual yet unquestionable: "Forget about global agency rights. We will keep the Dragon Country market for ourselves, and the Asian agency rights have already been given to Yixing."
"As for the rest—Europe, North America, South America, Oceania... and even more specific regions—let them fight for it themselves."
"Whoever offers more attractive conditions gets the bigger slice of the cake."
"To put it bluntly, it's about making them compete against each other. The fiercer the competition, the more it benefits us."
Jiang Yan understood instantly: "Got it, I know what to do now."
"You are fully responsible for the specific negotiations. I trust your ability." Jiang Jing was very confident in Jiang Yan's ability. "If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."
"Alright, then you go back to what you were doing, great Academician." Jiang Yan teased him and hung up the phone.
She straightened her appearance and instructed her assistant: "Please have Mr. William from L'Oréal come in first."
Soon, a French man wearing a custom suit with an elegant demeanor walked into the conference room under the guidance of the assistant.
He was the Vice President of L'Oréal Group in charge of the Asia-Pacific region—William DuPont.
