The meeting was scheduled for this morning at Philips' office in Shenzhen, Xiaguo District.
Tong Jia had been waiting for Yang Ling downstairs, and Yang Ling came over on time.
"According to what you said, I haven't made my intention to sell Lingtian Technology clear yet. I just told them that there is such an investment opportunity."
Before going to the battlefield, Tong Jia continued to check with Yang Ling on what would happen later.
"They have a lot of people here this time. Don't be nervous later. Those foreigners attach great importance to on-the-spot performance. If there is anything you don't understand, just ask me."
It was obviously Yang Ling who came to meet a client today, but Tong Jia was busy like a little bee, very anxious.
The two of them arrived at the conference room. The other end of the desk was full of people. There were foreigners and Chinese. They were all wearing suits and collars, waiting very solemnly for Yang Ling's arrival.
Initially, people at Philips thought they were waiting for the entire Lingtian Technology team, but in the end, only Yang Ling came.
Carlson asked the consultant beside him in confusion.
"What does Lingtian Technology mean? Why is there only one person here? Does it mean they don't pay attention to this negotiation at all?"
The Chinese consultant next to Kelson also answered in English.
"Oh, Vice President, I recently heard that the operating conditions of Lingtian Technology are very bad. I think their company may not be able to recruit anyone else."
"Then do we still need to negotiate?"
"I don't think so, but it's quite interesting to see this young man making a fool of himself here."
They were talking openly and fluently in English, and they didn't take Yang Ling seriously at all.
Carlson originally had some expectations for Lingtian Technology after listening to Tong Jia's description, but the situation in front of him made it difficult for people to look forward to it.
Tong Jia's heart sank as she listened to these people's conversation.
Because Yang Ling only had a high school degree, Yang Ling would certainly not be able to understand these people talking in English, but if they teased Yang Ling in such a arrogant manner, then the negotiation would probably go bad this time.
Yang Ling calmly sat down opposite Carlson, with a very calm expression on his face, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Chinese supervisor Liao Wenchang stood up with a smile and introduced the attendees around him using standard English etiquette.
His introduction was very literary, and he thought it was to give Yang Ling a show of strength, and to compare it with his own outstanding literary talent, and Yang Ling's image of a country bumpkin could be verified at once.
Yang Ling listened very carefully, sitting there motionless with a very serious expression on his face.
But Liao Wenchang only thought that Yang Ling was pretending to be stupid. In fact, he didn't understand anything at all. The reason why he pretended to be like this was nothing more than the last effort of a country bumpkin.
After Liao Wenchang finished the introduction, he made an inviting gesture to Yang Ling.
"pleaseintroduceyourself."
Liao Wenchang sneered at Yang Ling and sat back, minding his own business without any intention of translating for Yang Ling.
A group of them sat in a row and looked at Yang Ling meaningfully. They were all waiting for this bumpkin from Jiangcheng County to make a fool of himself.
Tong Jia was so anxious that she pulled on her clothes and really wanted to translate for Yang Ling in real time, but this was a bit disrespectful to the other party's representative points.
And now Liao Wenchang has no intention of letting others translate, so he has raised this issue. If he participates rashly, he will interrupt their negotiations.
Just as the atmosphere gradually became deadlocked, Tong Jia opened her mouth and wanted to translate for Yang Ling. At this time, she couldn't care so much. She had to get the meeting going first.
Who knew that Yang Ling suddenly stood up with a smile and greeted everyone with a very pure old London accent.
Yang Ling's spoken English is very fluent and her grammar is very pure. She introduced herself and the company completely without any lag.
Moreover, in front of everyone's surprised eyes, he also asked the on-site representatives to prepare a high-definition color TV set for their own demonstration later.
The foreign representatives originally wanted to watch a joke, but they were shocked to meet someone who spoke such authentic English! They immediately gave up the idea of watching the fun.
Yang Ling actually knows English? And her spoken English is great! She has a standard London accent!
Carlson even subconsciously ordered his subordinates to prepare a high-definition color TV for Yang Ling.
Not only Carlson, but also everyone else and Tong Jia were shocked at this moment.
Especially Tong Jia.
Tong Jia has learned English for so many years and can tell whether she speaks it well or poorly.
Yang Ling's English is so perfect that you don't know how good your own is. You must know that Tong Jia is a child who grew up abroad.
Yang Ling is just a high school student and has never been abroad. Where did he learn it?
After hearing Yang Ling speak so fluently, the Philips executives also had a deep impression of Yang Ling, and they all stood up and shook hands with Yang Ling.
It can be regarded as easing the awkward atmosphere just now.
After all, they were all joking like that when they came in just now. Yang Ling thought that Yang Ling was just a country bumpkin who couldn't understand anything, but now he found that he could understand everything.
Yang Ling never intended to pursue them for anything, he just laughed it off.
If you care about the useless little face in doing business, you won't be able to accomplish anything big.
Now this group of people all feel that they owe Yang Ling something in their hearts, so their ratings will naturally go up a level, which will be a very big advantage in the negotiation process later.
Tong Jia sat beside her in a daze, looking at Yang Ling who was chatting happily with everyone from abroad. The more she thought about it, the weirder she felt in her heart.
How many secrets does Yang Ling hide? He doesn't look like someone who came from a small county. Instead, he looks like a top student from the top foreign university.
In fact, there are traces to all of this, right?
Tong Jia suddenly remembered that Yang Ling had drawn the drawings in pure English and had such advanced chip design technology.
At present, domestic development in these aspects is still very weak. Without the support of foreign technology, Yangling would not be able to produce chips of that level.
In other words, Yang Ling's English proficiency is not only able to cope with daily communication, but can even easily cope with professional fields such as the chip industry.
"I have never seen a Xia person speak such good English in Xia country."
The last person to shake hands with Yang Ling was their vice president Carlson.
Carlson expressed very high respect for Yang Ling, and admired Yang Ling's knowledge and language skills very much.
Yang Ling also greeted with a smile: "It is an honor for me to cooperate with your company."
