Chapter 444: Heavenly-Defying Profit Distribution
Entering the elevator, Lu Yu arrived at the reception room on the seventh floor of Victory Group. As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he saw Andre and his assistant sitting in the conference room. Opposite them were Leng Qingqiu and Xia Bing, and both sides were engaged in a conversation that seemed quite harmonious.
The Andre of today was a complete departure from the frivolous and rude demeanor of last night. Although the reception room was initially a rather relaxed place, Andre and his assistant now sat upright on the sofa, faces full of sincerity, resembling business personnel from other companies.
Seeing this, Lu Yu couldn't help but smile. There are many self-respecting and smart people in the world, but plenty of shameless ones as well. If Andre had been sincere in the negotiations last night, Lu Yu wouldn't have minded inviting them for a meal to show respect.
However, there's no medicine for regret in this world. Since you, Andre, didn't appreciate the face given to you yesterday, you deserve to come here groveling!
Thinking of this, Lu Yu shook his head and then slowly stepped into the reception room.
"Good morning, Andre, I really didn't expect you to be here so early. I thought you might be thirty minutes late this time again,"
Entering the reception room, Lu Yu said to Andre, a teasing tone in his voice, full of mockery for Andre's tardiness last night.
Originally sitting upright on the sofa, Andre shivered all over upon hearing Lu Yu's words. He stood up immediately, looked at Lu Yu with utmost respect, and said, "No, no, last night was our negligence. We absolutely won't make such mistakes again. Please forgive us, Mr. Lu!"
Andre's words were full of respect, as if a subordinate facing their superior, his attitude was extremely humble, which greatly surprised Leng Qingqiu at the side!
One must know, as the vice president and negotiation expert of Newman Group, Andre was renowned for his dominance and overbearing nature. Companies generally treated him with utmost respect, even afraid to speak loudly during negotiations!
For such a strong person to react so strongly upon seeing Lu Yu was truly astonishing, making Leng Qingqiu look at Lu Yu with a flash of doubt in her eyes.
The doubt in her eyes flashed by unnoticed, and since Lu Yu's attention was on Andre, no one detected Leng Qingqiu's skeptical gaze.
"So that's how it is."
Hearing Andre's words, Lu Yu smirked, looked at Andre, and said, "In that case, let's sit and talk!"
Saying this, Lu Yu directly sat next to Xia Bing. Seeing Xia Bing, he smiled slightly, and seeing Lu Yu's smile, Xia Bing subtly gave him a thumbs up, showing great admiration.
Even Xia Bing hadn't expected such a drastic change in Andre's attitude!
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Andre quickly nodded, sitting on the sofa full of humility. He said to Lu Yu, "Mr. Lu, we really apologize for what happened yesterday. After reconsidering overnight, we've redefined the cooperation plan. Here's the contract."
With those words, Andre took a contract from his assistant, handing it directly to Lu Yu.
Accepting the contract, Lu Yu handed it straight to Leng Qingqiu without even looking at it, saying, "President Leng, please have a look."
In the reception room, although Lu Yu's presence was enough to command authority, his position was ultimately the security manager, and this was Leng Qingqiu's company, so he couldn't be too conspicuous. Sometimes, it's necessary to act the part.
Seeing Lu Yu's behavior, Leng Qingqiu gave him a complicated look, then took the contract from his hand. After turning a couple of pages, her eyes opened wide in surprise!
65% of the profits belong to Victory Group!
Seeing this sentence, Leng Qingqiu couldn't help but be shocked!
It's known that in such collaborations, typically, the supplier earns more than the partner, as the supplier holds control over the supply relationship and has absolute authority in the cooperation.
In such scenarios, securing a 50/50 split was already considered extraordinary negotiation skills, but the contract showed a 65% profit margin, which truly exceeded Leng Qingqiu's expectations!
First was Andre's respectful attitude towards Lu Yu, and then the incredible profit split. All these events combined left Leng Qingqiu feeling incredulous.
What on earth had Lu Yu done to Andre to make him offer such a substantial concession?
"Is there a problem with this contract?"
Seeing the hesitation on Leng Qingqiu's face, Lu Yu asked, his voice full of inquiry, as he directly looked at Andre with a hint of displeasure.
Seeing Lu Yu's displeased expression, Andre's heart jumped, filled with anxiety. He knew this profit split was already the bottom line for Newman Group. Any lower, and they'd only break even!
Furthermore, even so, they couldn't complain. After all, Lu Yu had his connection to the Assassin Alliance. Even if Lu Yu wanted to exploit them, they could only bear it silently!
"No problem."
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu shook her head, looked at Lu Yu, and said, "This profit allocation is very reasonable. I'm quite satisfied!"
Saying this, Leng Qingqiu looked towards Andre and his assistant, saying, "Newman Group has shown great sincerity in this. There are no issues from our side at Victory Group. Let's distribute the profits according to this proposal!"
The marketplace is like a battlefield. Leng Qingqiu, who manages such a large corporation, indeed has her exceptional qualities. In crucial moments, she exhibits the decisive and ruthless nature of a businessman, acting swiftly without hesitation!
Moreover, this 65% profit split is a rare opportunity that Leng Qingqiu would never miss!
