In a business car, Mai Ruibao and his wife Kaili got out of the car hand in hand. Li Jin walked up to them and smiled.
Mai Ruibao is a middle-aged man about forty years old. He looks very serious, but his smile is contagious.
"Hello, Mr. Li, thank you for your hospitality."
Li Jin turned to look at Kelly and said with a smile: "This beautiful lady must be Mrs. Kelly, right?"
Kelly shook hands with Li Jin politely and said, "Mr. Li is so young."
Li Jin laughed and turned around to greet Su Wanqing and said, "Miss Su Wanqing is my girlfriend."
"Mr. Mai Ruibao, Mrs. Kelly, hello." Su Wanqing shook hands with the two of them in a graceful manner.
Mai Ruibao looked at Su Wanqing and said to Li Jin in amazement: "Mr. Li, you are so lucky to have found such a beautiful and elegant lady."
"At this point, I think I am as lucky a man as Mr. Mai Ruibao." Li Jin said with a smile.
This sentence praises three people at the same time. This is the art of language.
At least judging from the faces of Mai Ruibao and Kelly, they were quite happy.
The group of people entered the box that had been prepared long ago. Li Jin smiled at Mrs. Kelly who was curiously looking at the surrounding decoration: "Because it is the first time for you two to come to China, so I specially found this place. The decoration here is so beautiful."
The dishes are very representative of our culture, I hope you two will like them.”
"At least I like the decoration here." Mrs. Kelly said happily.
Li Jin smiled and winked at Su Wanqing.
Su Wanqing understood and took out the gift she had prepared long ago.
"Mr. Mai Ruibao, I know that you are from Indiana and are from the same hometown as the superstar Jackson, so I specially prepared a limited edition collection album signed by Jackson to give to you. I hope you like it."
Taking the gift from Li Jin, Mai Ruibao said excitedly: "Oh, that's it, the 989 Platinum Collector's Edition. I've been looking for it for a long time, but I still haven't found it. Thank you, dear Li, for helping me complete it."
A dream of mine.”
On the other side, Su Wanqing also gave a gift to Kelly.
"Mrs. Kelly, this is a small gift I prepared for you, a hand-woven panda pendant. Pandas are our national treasures in China. I heard that Mrs. Kelly also likes pandas very much. I hope you will like this little pendant as well."
Falling." Su Wanqing said calmly and generously.
Mrs. Kelly looked surprised, "Oh my god, this time I came to China, I hoped that my husband could accompany me to Sichuan Province to see pandas. I didn't expect to receive such a good gift before that. Thank you so much."
"
Seeing that both of them were satisfied with the gifts, Li Jin and Su Wanqing smiled at each other.
After getting off to a good start, the four of them had a very pleasant conversation.
Li Jin also took the opportunity to see Su Wanqing's talent in communication besides financial work.
At least Mrs. Kelly has a good impression of her, and she always pairs perfectly with Li Jin every time the topic is connected.
Li Jin was in charge, Su Wanqing was the assistant, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was relaxed and happy.
Westerners are not used to talking at the dinner table, so Li Jin waited until the meal was over and they were sitting in the lounge to rest before he started talking about the topic.
Mai Ruibao was obviously prepared, and took the initiative to express his attitude before Li Jin could speak.
"Mr. Li, to be honest, when I meet you this time, I hope to find a new job. You know, I have encountered some troubles in my work at Procter & Gamble Group. I think a change of environment may help me think.
More questions.”
This is the positive effect brought about by the previous good impression. Otherwise, Mailibao will definitely not let go so easily.
Li Jin said with a smile: "On this point, Mr. Mai Ruibao and I have the same attitude. You need to find a new job, and I need a capable chief operating officer."
"Isn't it the CEO?" Mai Ruibao asked with a frown. This was different from what he had learned before.
To be honest, Mai Ruibao still doesn't like Li Jin's company. After all, in his opinion, what modern private enterprises can there be in China?
Even if it exists, it is incomparable to Procter & Gamble.
Since I came from the position of president of a large division of P&G, I am at least the position of president of the company, right?
What does it mean to be an operations officer?
"Mr. Mai Ruibao, my company is currently in the start-up stage. Although it already has a lot of assets, it is still in the early stages of entrepreneurship. Therefore, I hold the position of president concurrently, but this does not prevent you from exercising the powers of chief operating officer." Li
Jin explained.
Mai Ruibao shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, my desired position is CEO, otherwise I wouldn't have come. Thank you for your hospitality today. I'm tired and want to rest first."
With that said, Mai Ruibao stood up and left.
Li Jin lowered his head to drink tea, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said nothing to persuade him to stay.
This is the key point in the game between the two parties. If Li Jin bows his head, the entire subsequent negotiations will be at a disadvantage.
Moreover, Li Jin will never allow a professional manager to put pressure on him in the company.
Only he has the final say about his company.
Seeing that the conversation was about to collapse, Su Wanqing came up with a quick idea and said to Kelly: "Is Mrs. Kelly leaving? It's such a pity. I originally planned to invite my wife to go to the zoo with me. There are two giant pandas there. They just came from last year."
It was shipped here from Sichuan Province.”
Mrs. Kelly was surprised when she heard this. She turned to Mai Ruibao and said, "My dear, can't you be a little patient?"
When Mai Ruibao saw his wife who was completely eaten up by Su Wanqing, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Mr. Li, I would like to know the current basic situation of your company." Mai Ruibao finally sat down patiently and said to Li Jin.
Li Jin smiled slightly, put down his tea cup, and said loudly: "Jinqing Investment Company is my parent company. It has several holding subsidiaries and fully controlled subsidiaries, including Internet companies, two entertainment industry companies, and two real estate companies.
One company in the electronics industry.”
Mai Ruibao frowned when he heard this, and his feeling towards Li Jin became more and more unreliable.
"Mr. Li, with all due respect, you said before that you are still in the entrepreneurial stage. At this time, your company is involved in so many industries, and it may easily collapse. At this time, you should focus on one industry."
"Frankly speaking, I have seen many excellent entrepreneurs die from prematurely diversifying their businesses. Cross-industry is inherently difficult, not to mention that Mr. Li is involved in so many industries in his early stages? Is this the case?
The only result is that no industry can do well."
"Presumably...Mr. Li, the companies in the industries you are involved in are all small businesses, or even just empty shells, right?"
Mai Ruibao's words were very direct. He was a little unhappy when Li Jin defeated his army through his wife. Now that he finally had the opportunity to hurt Li Jin, he was naturally happy.
But when facing him, Li Jin, who was sitting opposite, showed a mysterious smile.
