Chapter 657: Order Transfer
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the end, after a series of negotiations, Luo Feng and Linda agreed on a price. However, this price wasn’t much of a discount. In fact, it wasn’t very different from the price offered by Eld.
For some reason, Linda couldn’t understand why Luo Feng was so firm on the price, unmoved by any bargaining tactics. After begrudgingly agreeing, Linda was frustrated but didn’t dare show it.
Upon leaving, Linda immediately sought out Eld.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Mr. Eld,” she began, “I believe our company’s upcoming shipments will significantly decrease. ”
She hoped to leverage this to get back at Eld for the dissatisfaction she felt dealing with Luo Feng.
Eld, however, remained unfazed upon hearing this. Had this been before his collaboration with Luo Feng, he might have panicked.
“Oh, I see,” he replied calmly. “We have been quite busy on our end as well and can’t handle as much business. If you wish to reduce your shipments, it’s actually beneficial for us.”
Linda was taken aback by Eld’s response. She’d heard about how others, like Harvin, had successfully pressured Eld into making concessions using similar tactics. Why wasn’t it working for her? Was Eld looking down on her?
Confused and flustered, Linda continued, “Mr. Eld, we recently got in touch with a new logistics company. You might have heard of them – ‘National Transport’. You’ve snatched many orders from them recently.”
Despite Linda’s attempt to unsettle him, Eld remained composed. “Yes, I’m aware. We did take many orders from them, and I felt slightly guilty about that. Since you’ve approached them, go ahead and negotiate with them. I won’t interfere. Consider it compensation for our past actions.”
He then looked up at Linda, “Is there anything else? If not, please leave.”
His inexplicable demeanor left Linda bewildered. After a moment’s hesitation, she departed. She had a nagging feeling she’d walked into some sort of trap but couldn’t pinpoint what it was.
Shortly after Linda’s departure, Luo Feng called Eld. “How did things go?”
Flipping through some documents, Eld replied, “It’s mostly done. Mike has developed an obsession with collecting artifacts in recent years. Last month, through some illicit means, he acquired over a hundred artifacts. I’m currently investigating their types and values. I expect to have results the day after tomorrow.”
He added with a hint of concern, “However, obtaining so many items at once might be challenging.”
“You don’t need to worry about that,” Luo Feng responded. “Just ensure the investigation is thorough and bring me to meet Mike. I’ll handle the rest.” Luo Feng then paused briefly before forwarding the contract Linda had given him to Eld. “Take a look at this contract. I deliberately asked for a higher price than yours. It hasn’t been signed yet, but I believe it’s highly likely she’ll sign it. Afterward, we’ll sign a transfer agreement. Once the goods arrive, they’ll be immediately transferred to your company. You’ll handle the delivery, and you’ll keep the profits.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEld was almost in disbelief. This wasn’t a small deal. Linda’s company had one of the highest shipment volumes in Atlanta. If these orders were handed over to a new company, that company would instantly become one of the top logistics firms in Atlanta. Yet, Luo Feng was swiftly transferring this business to him?
Eld was perplexed, but he sensed that Luo Feng’s establishment of a logistics company wasn’t merely for profit. Everything might just be a facade, with Luo Feng’s true intentions remaining elusive.
After hanging up, Eld shook his head. All of this didn’t concern him directly. He just needed to do his job.
Meanwhile, Luo Feng waited patiently. Throughout this period, Linda tried to negotiate with him several times, but Luo Feng remained unyielding on the price. Linda was left distraught. Somehow, others had successfully navigated these deals, yet despite all her preparations, she seemed to be at a loss.
After several fruitless attempts to negotiate with Luo Feng, Linda was eventually fired. Several other representatives tried to negotiate in her stead, but to no avail.
When word of this spread, others who’d considered pressuring Eld to raise prices reconsidered.
Three days later, Eld contacted Luo Feng. “Mr. Luo, I’ve finalized the list and emailed it to you. When are you available? I can introduce you to Mike.”
He added a note of caution, “But I must warn you, Mike isn’t someone to be trifled with, especially considering your past disagreements with him..”
