CHAPTER 1621 NEGOTIATION

When he saw Xiaozhao and her team, Lee Moonsaeng was stunned for a few moments before quickly breaking into a smile.

"Miss Zhao, you're just in time. I thought your team wasn't coming anymore.”

"I'm not late, right?" Xiaozhao purposely looked at the time and pointed to her watch as she said, "I still have one more minute, that's good. Being late is not our style, Chief Lee."

She looked back at Lee Moonsaeng and was just as confident as he was.

Even if she was faced with the highest ranking person of Lee Group, she wouldn't be nervous. Nobody's presence was as powerful as Jiang Ning's anyway.

"Please take a seat!" said Lee Moonsaeng politely. "Since you're all here, let's begin the meeting."

Xiaozhao sat down confidently and patted the chair next to her. Fei shrugged and had no choice but to sit quietly next to her.

Time slowly ticked by. Xiaozhao was aggressive at times, gave way at other times and fully displayed her ability and techniques in business negotiation.

Even though Fei had seen a lot of things in life, he couldn't help but give her a thumbs up in his heart.

It took someone of such caliber to become Lin Yuzhen's secretary and to be approved by Jiang Ning after all.

"As for those conditions, Mr Jiang has already agreed on all these things with you back in Donghai, so we can just go through them in greater detail," said Xiaozhao with a smile. "Lin Group, Extreme Martial Arts Academy and Lee Group will work together, and it will definitely be for the best. As for

your request to set up a branch of the academy within Seoul as soon as possible, it shouldn't be a problem."

She pursed her lips and looked at Lee Moonsaeng. "Mr Jiang asked me to check with you. It might not be easy to find a location for the branch, so does Chief Lee have any recommended venues?”

Lee Moonsaeng smiled warmly on the outside, but his heart was smiling coldly.

He knew what Jiang Ning was up to, but this Jiang Ning actually allowed him to decide on the venue. This belongs to : ©.

What a greedy man!

But there was a price to pay for greediness.

As long as Extreme Martial Arts Academy was opened in Seoul and Jiang Ning dared to bring the pages over to put on display, then that was as good as sending those pages to his doorstep.

"But of course. Lee Group has been based in Seoul for so many years, so we're very familiar with this place,” said Lee Moonsaeng with a smile. "The venue is not a difficult problem and I can recommend you a few places. But as for the actual cost and all, the academy will have to settle it themselves."

"Thank you, Chief Lee,” Xiaozhao nodded in gratitude. "I will tell Mr Jiang your reply, and I'll thank you on behalf of Mr Jiang first."

The entire negotiation process took an hour.

The time seemed to pass by slowly, but in reality, very little was really discussed. Lee Moonsaeng even pushed the signing of the contract till after the branch of Extreme Martial Arts Academy was set up in Seoul.

He insisted on signing only with all three parties around. Since Jiang Ning wasn't present, it wasn't possible to sign the contract.

Lee Moonsaeng had been in business for a long time, so he was very sly and very scheming.

It wasn't easy to manipulate someone who was bent on getting what he wanted.

After leaving Lee Group, Xiaozhao's expression didn't look too good. She knew that this negotiation hadn't gone anywhere.

For as long as the contract was not signed, then they would not have gotten any real access to resources. This partnership with Lee Group was still something discussed verbally with no real meaning.

Lin Group needed a lot of resources to enter the market.

They didn't place all their hopes on Lee Group and didn't need Lee Group to give them any resources. As long as Lee Group didn't pull any dirty tricks and used their position as a monopoly to prevent Lin Group from entering the market, that was enough.

Lin Group was confident that they were able to gain a foothold for themselves with their own resources!

But getting into the market in the first place was still a big problem.

Xiaozhao didn't say anything on the way

back.

After they returned to the hotel, she let everyone return to their rooms to rest and called Fei into her room.

"You've done a good job, I'm quite surprised." Fei leaned against the sofa and took a drink. "But there are many things that aren't within your control in the first place."
