554: Chapter 543: Give Me a Reason to Be Convinced 554: Chapter 543: Give Me a Reason to Be Convinced After a day of rest, having experienced a bit of Bali’s charm, and wandering around the Louvre and the Bali Tower, the next day arrived in the blink of an eye.
At noon, Xu Ruolan brought Ning Fan with her to the Zarfi Group’s headquarters in Bali.
“You don’t need to say anything during the meeting, just stand by and watch,”
in the elevator, Xu Ruolan, dressed in a sharp OL suit, reminded Ning Fan standing beside her.
Ning Fan displayed an indifferent demeanor and even defended himself with a hint of grievance, “I won’t cause you any trouble.
Is there a need to look at me like that?”
“As if I don’t know you!”
Xu Ruolan gave Ning Fan a stern glance, warning him with her eyes.
It was precisely because she knew Ning Fan’s temperament that Xu Ruolan worried he might clash with the other party.
If such a situation could be avoided, it was best to eradicate the possibility completely.
The collaboration with the Zarfi Group was of utmost importance for the Xu Corporation.
If things were to go awry, the Xu Corporation’s ambitions to enter the European market might just burst like a bubble.
Having no other choice, Ning Fan nodded reluctantly, promising not to speak out of turn.
Upon reaching the Zarfi Group’s reception, someone inside was notified, and not long after, they were ushered into the company.
In a conference room, Kamante, the Director of the Zarfi Group headquarters, was already waiting for them.
Upon entering the conference room, Ning Fan took note of the somewhat balding, smug-looking middle-aged man.
“Oh, Miss Xu Ruolan, right?
Please, take a seat,” Kamante said casually as he saw Xu Ruolan enter, his face briefly lighting up with a perfunctory smile.
As for Ning Fan, who was following behind Xu Ruolan, Kamante did not pay him any attention, assuming he was just an assistant Ruolan had brought along.
The two sat opposite Kamante, and in the entire conference room, there were only the three of them.
For the next half hour, Xu Ruolan’s voice echoed in the meeting room, while the other two remained silent.
“Mr.
Kamante, the Huaxia market has enormous potential.
If its value is tapped into, the profits would be immeasurable.
If the Xu Corporation could become Zarfi’s chief agent in Huaxia, I can guarantee that the benefits outlined in the previous plan will double!”
Xu Ruolan tirelessly explained the advantages and immense potential of the Huaxia region to Kamante.
It was an untapped treasure trove, and even Ning Fan found it to be a profitable opportunity upon listening.
However, Kamante appeared utterly disengaged, even fiddling with a nail clipper, which caused Ning Fan to frown at such a nonchalant attitude.
“Have you finished, Miss Xu Ruolan?”
Just as Xu Ruolan’s remarks came to an end, Kamante raised his head, then stretched lazily, asking in a very laid-back manner.
At that moment, Ning Fan really wanted to ask the man if he had been listening to Xu Ruolan at all.
Probably everything Xu Ruolan had said had just gone in one ear and out the other for this guy!
Thinking this, Ning Fan lost all favorable impression of the golden-haired Caucasian whose hairstyle was verging on a Mediterranean balding pattern, feeling even a bit of disgust.
Xu Ruolan was also stunned at this moment, and she replied with a somewhat troubled expression, “Mr.
Kamante, feel free to speak your mind.”
With a light chuckle, Kamante raised an eyebrow disdainfully and then mocked, “Ms.
Xu Ruolan, you’ve talked at length, and I’m well aware that the Huaxia region is a huge market.
But does Xu Corporation really have that kind of influence?”
As soon as these words were spoken, even Xu Ruolan couldn’t help frowning.
Her gaze hid a faint trace of anger as she tried to keep herself calm and replied, “I think you need not worry about that, Xu Corporation’s influence in Huaxia is absolutely top-notch.”
“But what I’ve heard seems to differ.
You should know that aside from you, other enterprise groups in Huaxia want to cooperate with us.
The terms they offer seem more realistic, and in some aspects, even better than yours.
Forgive me for being blunt, but I really don’t see any advantage in cooperating with Xu Corporation.”
In simple terms, Xu Corporation had no advantage in front of other competitors.
Xu Ruolan frowned and immediately realized that the other party was deliberately making things difficult for her.
“Miss Ruolan, I hope you can give me a reason that can convince me.
Please think carefully!”
Having said that, Kamante went back to grooming his nails, which were perpetually in need of attention.
This guy was obviously being deliberately troublesome, and Ning Fan was immediately displeased.
However, Ruolan was carefully considering her options at that time.
She took out the proposal they had prepared, which they had originally planned to present only after confirming cooperation.
But now, in order to persuade Kamante, Xu Ruolan had no choice but to do so.
“We have a huge fan base in Huaxia and, with the advantage of the internet, the spread of our products will be more effective.
This proposal will be…”
“Enough, I’ve heard enough of this.
If that’s all you have to say, then please leave.”
Kamante raised his eyes impatiently.
Regarding the proposal Xu Ruolan had handed over, he dismissed it without even giving it a glance.
Seeing Kamante still uninterested, Xu Ruolan bit her lip, struggling in her gaze, still unwilling to give up just like that.
“Mr.
Kamante, please hear me out, we…”
“I said enough, Ms.
Xu Ruolan.
I don’t have so much time to mess around with you.
If you have nothing else, then please leave.
We certainly won’t keep you here for tea.”
Kamante slapped the table and nearly shouted, his voice overwhelming Xu Ruolan’s.
Whack!
But the sound that followed overpowered Kamante as Ning Fan stood up and slapped the table, leaving a palm print on its surface.
Xu Ruolan looked at Ning Fan, opened her mouth as if to stop him subconsciously, but he shook his head at her, signaling her not to continue speaking.
“Mr.
Kamante, since you have no sincerity in cooperating with Xu Corporation, we won’t bother you any longer.
However, I can tell you with certainty, don’t view Xu Corporation with that narrow-minded perspective of yours.
You don’t understand us at all, what right have you to judge?
You’re not losing a partner but a valuable opportunity.
In this upcoming internet revolution, there will be no seat for Zarfi Group.
I hope when the time comes you won’t shamelessly come asking for cooperation; you no longer have the qualifications!”
Dominant, utterly dominant, it was as if Ning Fan and his party were the leading side, and suddenly, the stance shifted.
