Chapter 437 - Time Is Precious (2/2)
“You’re here for our director?”
Startled, she then asked, “And you are?”
“We’re from the Sales Department of Huayao Corporation. We came here to see Director Guo for a business deal. ”
Xiao Luo answered truthfully, for he knew from what he read that Guo Taining was an honest man, and he certainly would not appreciate half-truths or gimmicks. If Xiao Luo didn’t tell the truth about who he was, Guo Taining would undoubtedly dismiss Xiao Luo as soon as they met, and the long-term impact on Huayao Corporation would be dire.
“Didn’t your company send someone this morning?” the woman asked.
“They were in a hurry, and there are still some things that need to be clarified,” Xiao Luo replied.
“Please wait here, I will notify the director.”
“Thank you!”
Xiao Luo nodded, expressing his appreciation.
“Would Director Guo agree to hear us out? Why do I get the feeling that we won’t even be able to see his face this time?” Si Yueting muttered to herself when the woman left.
“He will see us. Guo Taining is a gentleman, he may refuse to meet with salespeople who play petty tricks, but he certainly won’t turn down any visitors who show sincerity,” Xiao Luo said. This was the conclusion he arrived at from reading Guo Taining’s information sheet, and he was quite confident he read Guo Taining’s personality accurately.
Just as Xiao Luo inferred, the woman came back a short while later and told them that Director Guo had invited them to his office.
Xiao Luo thanked the woman and led the startled Si Yueting and Liu Yiyao to Guo Taining’s office.
The office was at the end of the hallway on the third floor. As soon as they set foot in the office, they saw a middle-aged grey-haired man engrossed in reading a medical book. He looked kind and friendly.
The office was not very big; it was about 30 square meters. The office was equipped with a desk, book rack, and a bonsai at each office corner. There was no computer on the desk, but a globe and a stack of files.
“Director, they’re here!” the woman said as she knocked on the door.
The middle-aged man nodded, and with his eyes still gazing into the medical book, he asked Xiao Luo without looking up at him, “I have made myself perfectly clear with your Sales Director, why did he still send you?”
Xiao Luo spoke in a tone that was neither aggressive nor conciliatory. “Director Guo, we, representing Huayao Corporation, would like to discuss a business deal with you.”
“Alright, but don’t accuse me of not giving opportunities to the young; if you can persuade me with less than a hundred words, I’ll give Huayao Corporation the contract.” Guo Taining still did not lift his head to look at them.
With less than a hundred words?
Si Yueting and Liu Yiyao frowned, showing the worry lines on their foreheads. Sales Director Mao and the team leader, Ling Fei, had spent the whole morning trying to persuade him and failed. Now, the three of them were supposed to convince Guo Taining in less than a hundred words, how would that be possible?
“Director Guo, we sincerely want to do business with you, no matter how good are the discounts Renhe Medicines offered you, we, Huayao Corporation, can offer you twice that,” Si Yueting said.
“Yes, Director Guo, please consider Huayao Corporation, the two companies produce medical appliances and drugs with the best quality, and if you can get the same products at a lower price, isn’t it a good thing for you? You can use the money saved on the construction of the new hospital, which will be beneficial,” Liu Yiyao pitched in.
“Time is precious, so stop wasting my time. And don’t waste yours as well.”
Guo Taining gave them the cold shoulder, and he didn’t seem like he would give them a chance at all. His eyes were fixed on the medical book in his hand the whole time they were there.
