The atmosphere was unusually oppressive...

Chapter 473: The Scheme is Deep

After a while.

Just as Wu Xiuyan was starting to get impatient, Du Yuanfeng, that old guy, seemed to suddenly remember something.

His attitude changed abruptly.

He chuckled and squinted, saying, "Xiuyan, you've really made something of yourself! Seeing you like this now, this old man is truly proud of you..."

The way the elder was praising the younger made Wu Xiuyan's eyes twitch.

But Du Yuanfeng didn't stop talking this time, and continued, "You're right, what a businessman should value most is profit. I was too greedy. What happened before was the old man's fault!"

Speaking of this...

He slowly stood up, seemingly with difficulty, and bowed respectfully at a ninety-degree angle to Wu Xiuyan: "Here, I apologize for my previous inappropriate behavior. I hope you won't take it to heart!"

Be able to take it on, and be able to put it down!

This is the most useful experience that Du Yuanfeng has come up with in his lifetime.

"That's really true!"

Wu Xiuyan slightly raised her chin, appearing calm on the surface, but inwardly she was overjoyed.

honestly...

If it were her, she would never have expected Du Yuanfeng to lower himself to such an extent.

But what's happening right now...

However, they were all outmaneuvered by Ding Xin, who had never met Du Yuanfeng before!

In Ding Xin's words...

Some people are born greedy and like to haggle and calculate!

But scheming your whole life, calculating and plotting, can easily erode a person's most basic integrity...

They even call it forbearance!

The most typical characteristic of this kind of person is that they take an inch and want a mile, yet they bully the weak and fear the strong!

For every bit stronger someone else is, he becomes a bit weaker!

When others take a step forward, he takes a step back!

In a sense...

From the moment Wu Xiuyan met Du Yuanfeng...

All the actions he took that were so different from the past were based on Ding Xin's theoretical foundation!

In other words...

Wu Xiuyan's eyes flickered slightly; she was eagerly anticipating Du Yuanfeng's next move...

Could it be exactly the same as Ding Xin's prediction?

"Sooyeon..."

After humbling himself and bowing in apology, Du Yuanfeng showed no embarrassment. He smiled, sat down again, and said gently, "We've known each other for over a decade. Some disagreements are normal. There's no need to make things worse..."

Now that I've seen your capabilities, I think it's not impossible for us to continue our cooperation...

This is yet another attempt to change tactics.

This...

This was still within Ding Xin's expectations!

Wu Xiuyan laughed, a laugh that was hard to decipher, and raised an eyebrow in a mocking tone, saying, "Continue to cooperate? Now that things have come to this, do you think we can still continue to cooperate?"

"Of course!"

Faced with her aggressive questioning, Du Yuanfeng remained unfazed, his smile unchanged: "The world is a bustling place, driven by self-interest. In this world, there are no eternal enemies, nor eternal friends..."

The only thing that can truly last forever is profit!

No one would turn down their own interests, don't you think?

Wu Xiuyan didn't reply, but just looked at him quietly, raising her chin to signal him to continue.

"You just mentioned sincerity. I admit I haven't shown my sincerity, but I have demonstrated my value. That 180 billion won is just a drop in the ocean..."

Du Yuanfeng's gaze was deep and his tone was drawn out, which, upon first listen, carried a strong sense of seduction.

As he spoke...

He suddenly spread his arms wide, his face full of enthusiasm, and said: "Imagine, you have the channels, and I have a steady stream of large sums of money. If we can put aside all prejudices and cooperate sincerely, what a bright future we will have!"

After speaking...

He stared straight at Wu Xiuyan in front of him.

While waiting for her response, I also carefully observed her expression, not wanting to miss any possible changes.

"President, what you've said is indeed very tempting..."

Wu Xiuyan smiled, but her eyes revealed a calmness: "However, don't forget, our previous cooperation wasn't pleasant, and so far, I haven't seen any sincerity from you!"

She emphasized the word "sincerity" when she spoke of it.

The implication in his words was clear: the cooperation between the two parties could continue, but the prerequisite for cooperation was that he had to show sincerity first!

Du Yuanfeng was incredibly shrewd; he instantly understood the meaning behind her words.

He frowned slightly, but quickly smiled again, saying in a conciliatory tone, "Xiuyan, you have to look forward. Let bygones be bygones..."

Regarding the cooperation, to show my sincerity, I'd like to propose a plan for you to consider.

Wu Xiuyan glanced at him and said indifferently, "What do you think..."

"I can tell you very clearly that the amount of secret funds I currently control is no less than this..."

Du Yuanfeng raised his hand and made an "eight" gesture.

Upon seeing this gesture, Oh Soo-yeon's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately understood that it meant 800 billion won...

This is much more than she and Ding Xin had estimated before!

Seeing Wu Xiuyan's shifty eyes, Du Yuanfeng smiled knowingly and continued, "You should understand what the market commission is for this amount of business. My quote for you is ten percent!"

"Ten points?"

Wu Xiuyan looked at him expressionlessly, then suddenly revealed a contemptuous smile: "Du Yuanfeng, Du Yuanfeng, what do you take our Jinmen Group for?"

"Ten points is not bad..."

Du Yuanfeng chuckled, well-versed in the principle of raising prices on the spot and then negotiating on the spot. He didn't care about Wu Xiuyan's tone, and just muttered, "You should know that the base amount of this amount is very large. I'm afraid your Kinmen Group might not receive such a large business in a year, right?"

"Fifteen points!"

At this moment, Wu Xiuyan was overjoyed inside, but on the surface she still pretended to be cold: "If you want to continue to cooperate with us, then the commission rate will be 15%!"

And you must also pay back the previous commissions, we won't ask for more, it's the same amount!

This is the foundation upon which our future cooperation can be based!

In fact...

Neither Wu Xiuyan nor Ding Xin behind her care about how many points they can get.

That's not the point...

What they're after is the principal in Du Yuanfeng's possession!

The reason they were haggling here was simply to give that old man Du Yuanfeng the impression that they genuinely wanted to cooperate!

to be honest...

This is a very simple yet very effective application of psychology.

The more they pull...

The more realistic it is, the easier it is to give people a sense of authenticity!

The reason I wanted to create this impression on him...
