Chapter 41: Business War, Negotiation that Insights into Psychology
“What does it mean to be set up by capital? What does it mean to touch someone’s cake?”
Loka looked at the restless Lubi with a puzzled face.
The other party suddenly sent an urgent to make her come over in the middle of the night.
Was it to his miserable defeat to her?
According to Lubi’s words, these days he not only successfully separated from the family and established a merchant group independent of all families, but also the mysterious old family head very happily provided him with a sum of startup funds.
At the beginning, according to Loka’s plan, Lubi very easily occupied some inconspicuous goods on the market.
Some merchants even, suffering from a backlog, eagerly offered high prices.
According to Loka’s plan, these goods would be in short supply at a certain time period.
Then Lubi could resell them at high prices to obtain high returns.
But one day when Lubi was conducting market research, he was surprised to find, Not only were the goods they planned to acquire bought by a mysterious buyer at a higher price, but also when they prepared to resell the already hoarded goods, the other party actually sold the same goods at a lower price or even at a loss.
“Our goods are now hoarded in the seaside warehouse. If they cannot be sold in time, when the other party’s goods flow back into the market, the value of this batch of goods will be greatly discounted.”
The other party was clearly deliberately messing with them, even not hesitating to spend a large amount of money to make them lose money.
This way of injuring the enemy by one hundred and self-damaging by one thousand.
When she founded this merchant group at the beginning, she specifically instructed Lubi not to make a fuss, and even deliberately kept a low profile to avoid several market hot periods.
To be able to know the value of these goods and precisely block their plan, either they had already detected her identity, or more dangerously, the other party also had some way to predict the future market trend.
“Sir, now if this batch of goods cannot be disposed of, it will be a very big blow to the entire merchant group. Moreover, the other party seems to have reached contact with all merchants. Even if we offer the lowest price, no one is willing to acquire it.”
Lubi looked at the in his hand with worry.
The pocket watch in his right hand trembled and almost could not be held.
The first time being entrusted with such an important task and messing it up like this, for a merchant it was simply a huge trust crisis,
“Lubi, you first hold your troops and do not move. Do not release the news of our hoarding. In addition, you should contact that one. I want to personally talk to him……”
The next day, in the most luxurious hotel in the royall capital, Loka handed the business card to the manager.
The other party respectfully led her to the private reception room of the hotel.
The elegant old gentleman had already leisurely sat at the main table waiting.
“I didn’t expect the Oak Old Family Head to be completely different from the decisive appearance in the business field.”
“Hehe, I also didn’t expect the owner of the merchant group to be such a little girl.”
The object Loka met was the highest power figure of the Oak Family who currently controlled all commercial channels of the entire empire, the Oak Family Head Sorensen.
He was over seventy but still firmly sat in the family head position, inevitably not to be underestimated.
If it were an ordinary person, they definitely could not invite this prestigious figure, but Lubi’s contribution in the kingdom poison gas attack case avoided an unwarranted disaster for the family, and the things behind him, how could he, as an old fox, not find out?
“So, the young lady of the Duke’s Mansion, the little guy by the side of the popular Sixth Princess, Miss Loka Alva, what matter do you have finding this old man who is about to die?”
“I believe you have also heard. Our goods have been maliciously warred.”
Straight to the point without even pleasantries.
This tone did not sound like an attitude of asking for help at all, but precisely because both sides were clear-headed game masters, it was impossible to make such low-end mistakes,
There was only one possibility.
This was not a so-called request at all, but a transaction that he could hardly refuse.
The other party’s calm and composed expression showed that they were fully prepared.
“Indeed, but what does this have to do with me?”
“I want to make a deal with you. As long as you take action to help us win this war, you can sit and enjoy the fisherman’s profit.”
Old Sorensen’s eyebrows curiously raised a bit.
His eyes curiously sized up the other party’s expression of certainty.
The little gadget in his hand was casually played with.
“This old man is just a flower coat hanging on his face. I can’t participate in you young people’s matters. Miss, you should find someone else.”
These words were not false.
Although Sorensen still firmly sat in the family head position, in fact, all the businesses under him were divided to his children.
The most core was in the hands of his little daughter, that is, the mother of the Fourth Prince and Fifth Prince.
Sorensen valued his little daughter’s business talent, but his heirs were already incompatible in secret, all eyeing his family head position.
To stabilize this seemingly harmonious family, he had no choice but to continue sitting high in the family head position.
Faced with the other party’s straightforward refusal, Loka did not press aggressively or plead, but just quietly sat in front of the other party, leisurely sipping tea, her relaxed appearance as if she were the one being asked for help.
Negotiations in the business world were originally a contest of psychological games.
Once a bit of slack was shown, it would be taken advantage of.
Both were refined foxes, just smiling and stalemating like this.
The passing servant felt a silent intense spark even through the door.
“What if what I need is you, this person hanging on your face?”
“Even if that’s the case, why do you think I will agree?”
The Grand Duke interrupted Loka’s temptation, instead throwing a question at her.
Loka unhurriedly took out the token in her hand—the badge from the Grand Duke of Saito’s.
Sure enough, the moment he saw the badge, Sorensen’s calm face also showed an incredulous expression, his eyes solemnly staring at the triumphant Loka.
In the black market, it was not that no one tried to replicate this kind of token, but for Sorensen, who had long been in the business world, he could tell the difference between genuine and fake at a glance.
“You should also know about the Sixth Princess’s matter. Even if you have already retired to the second line, don’t you hope to give your heir a more stable guarantee?”
Loka did not plan to use things from the business world to tempt this old merchant who had seen all kinds of rare treasures. She chose to strike at the softest spot in the heart of this elder who had become a grandfather,
Sure enough, upon hearing the keyword heir, Sorensen’s expression changed again.
His wavering thoughts made him have to take the pipe by his side, silently lighting the tobacco.
Loka casually fanned away the incoming smoke smell.
She did not hope to be disliked because of the smell on her body when sneaking in at night. One must maintain purity.
The pipe in his hand gradually extinguished, the sound of knocking on the table was like the entanglement in Sorensen’s heart, making a dong dong dong sound, until the sound gradually slowed down, the pipe was relit……
