"Hello, I'm Li Huale, the president of SAFE Happiness Corporation!"
Cui Dongjun and Park Yeongju looked at the much younger man with some surprise, not expecting the company's president to be so young.
Although SAFE is now in a difficult situation, it was once a medium-sized enterprise. Back then, it was precisely because SAFE was developing quite well, and due to the relationship between Jiang Dongrun and a certain high-level figure in the Cui family, the two parties signed a lease agreement.
However, Cui Dongjun suddenly thought of Jiang Dongrun's passing and assumed that the company must have been inherited by his relatives.
"Hello, President Li. I am here on behalf of the Cui Corporation to discuss the factory land with you. This is Mr. Park Yeongju, representing the Lotte Group. I believe President Li is aware of our intentions. I won't repeat unnecessary words. What are your thoughts on our proposal?" Cui Dongjun said with a smile, a hint of joy on his face, seemingly underestimating Li Huale because of his age.
"Please have a seat, Uncle Li, you can wait outside for a moment!"
After saying this, Li Huale walked to a single sofa and sat down, his face showing no particular emotion.
Li Yuanba didn't say anything, just nodded and left the room. He didn't care what Li Huale did, as everything was now being upheld by Li Huale. If he chose to give up, Li Yuanba wouldn't have anything to say.
If Li Huale chose to beat these two guys up, he would applaud.
...
"I understand your intentions. I think..."
Li Huale didn't have much to discuss with the two men. He leaned back on the sofa, looking very relaxed, and even crossed his legs, displaying a bit of a presidential demeanor. This made the other two frown.
"What do you think, President Li?" Cui Dongjun interjected.
"I think the proposal is quite good!" Li Huale suddenly said with a smile, which surprised the two men.
Cui Dongjun came to his senses and felt a surge of joy, not expecting the other party to be so easy to talk to. He seemed to be a naive young man.
"However..."
Cui Dongjun, who was about to speak, was suddenly at a loss. This "however" made his heart race again.
"However, your visit is a bit sudden. But we are all business people. Your proposal is excellent, especially the amount of the transfer fee is satisfactory. But what I need more is a ready-made factory, even a smaller one would do. This place is about 700 square meters. If you can provide a new factory site of 600, or even 500 square meters, and re-sign a contract for more than five years, I can agree to your terms. A slightly more remote location is also acceptable!"
Li Huale spoke as if he were a naive young man, and this unreasonable condition almost made Cui Dongjun and Park Yeongju want to curse, "Are you f*cking with us?"
"Is President Li joking?" Cui Dongjun's face turned serious. To reclaim a 700-square-meter land and provide another 500-square-meter site seemed unreasonable.
Moreover, land and a factory site are different concepts. If it were just land, Cui Dongjun might have agreed, but a factory site with existing buildings, power systems, water systems, and so on, would require a lot of money to build.
If they got a factory site, it would be much more convenient. As long as the systems were complete, they could just move the machinery and start production immediately.
Li Huale's proposal indeed seemed like a joke, as the two men thought.
"Mr. Cui Dongjun, I don't have time to joke. Honestly, I don't think we have much to discuss. I'll give you two options. The first is what I just said, and of course, the transfer fee cannot be reduced. The second is to find a lawyer, prepare all the materials for termination and compensation, and send them to me. Of course, your Cui Corporation should also be prepared for a lawsuit."
Cui Dongjun's face changed, becoming much colder, similar to Li Huale's. Park Yeongju, on the other hand, smiled as if it had nothing to do with him.
"President Li Huale, if that's the case, there's nothing to discuss. I won't disturb President Li's time. The termination will follow the terms of the original contract, and the compensation will be exactly as stated, not a penny more or less. This compensation, which is less than half of the transfer fee, I hope will provide some help to SAFE Corporation!" Cui Dongjun stood up and said coldly, losing his previous amicability.
As Cui Dongjun said, because the contract was signed a long time ago, the termination compensation was quite rigid and not very high.
Cui Dongjun and Park Yeongju chose to negotiate peacefully mainly to maintain the company's image. But with Li Huale's firm attitude, there was nothing more to say.
In business, everything is fake, only interests are real.
Li Huale also stood up and smiled, "That's best. By the way, Mr. Cui Dongjun's wife is a famous actress, right?"
"What do you mean?" Cui Dongjun frowned, not understanding why Li Huale suddenly asked this.
Li Huale grinned, "Nothing, just asking. I'm sure Mr. Cui Dongjun's marriage is very happy with such a good wife. You should cherish it!"
"Ridiculous!"
Cui Dongjun cursed in his heart and said coldly, "That's none of President Li's business!"
Li Huale watched as Park Yeongju walked to the other side of the coffee table, and Cui Dongjun also tried to leave from that side. Suddenly, the smile on Li Huale's face disappeared, and he kicked the redwood coffee table in front of him hard.
"Bang!"
"Clang!"
"Ah!!!"
"Mr. Cui Dongjun, are you okay? I'm really sorry, I accidentally kicked the coffee table. Do you need me to take you to the hospital?" Li Huale watched as Cui Dongjun fell heavily onto the coffee table, knocking over the water cup, and asked with a smile.
Indeed, he was smiling, and Li Huale's appearance now looked quite malicious.
"You!"
Cui Dongjun, holding his arm, was helped up by Park Yeongju, glaring at Li Huale and shouting.
Li Huale innocently shrugged, explaining that he accidentally kicked the coffee table, which then hit Cui Dongjun. If needed, he could cover the medical expenses.
"Li Huale, you're capable. No matter how you became president, I believe it won't last long. You'd better find a new factory site quickly, or it will be too late once the contract is terminated!" Cui Dongjun, looking disheveled, said with a grim face and then turned to leave the office.
On the contrary, Park Yeongju took a few steps, saw Cui Dongjun already some distance away, and suddenly turned around, smiling, "President Li Huale, I am just a regular buyer representing my father's company. I hope President Li doesn't see me as an enemy!"
Li Huale was taken aback and looked at the plump man strangely, not understanding his meaning. Was he trying to be friendly? Or was he conceding? But they had never met before.
Seeing Li Huale frowning, Park Yeongju smiled, "Actually, I have my own business in the beauty industry. I have a good relationship with Chen Miao and have seen photos from your high school days, so I know a bit about you!"
"Oh!" Li Huale replied coldly and sat back on the sofa.
Park Yeongju's face didn't show any embarrassment; he just smiled and left Li Huale's office. However, his face turned serious after leaving, not out of anger, but because he found the situation challenging.
In reality, unless a company is as powerful as Sanjing Electronics, where a single word can make many departments busy, most companies don't want to get involved in anything...
