Wyatt smiled, "You are so modest, Mr. Jacob. Everyone in the business field knows who you are. Although you are not the CEO of the Shi Group anymore, many people still think highly of you."
After saying that, Wyatt picked up the ice water beside him and took a big gulp. The weather so sweltering that he felt he was almost melt. Jacob didn't care Wyatt's behavior at all, because he could tell that Wyatt was also a man of character.
Wyatt smiled with a subtle curl at the corners of his mouth. "Mr. Jacob, I want to tell you the truth, the result of our discussion was not agreed to cooperate with your company."
Jacob glanced at Wyatt. Of course he would say something unpleasant first. Jacob looked at Wyatt calmly. It sounded like there was a "but" after what he said.
"I know that. I don't have a good reputation in this industry. Many people may have to consider the consequences before they choose to have cooperation with our company. Even if they didn't speak it out, they may still have problems with that secretly. "
After a pause, Jacob added, "Of course, I know it too. But I believe that Mr. Wyatt must have your own ideas since you are willing to meet me today. Mr. Wyatt, I don't think you would waste your time just to frustrate me here. "
Jacob said with a smile, and so did Wyatt. He was interested in what Jacob said.
Jacob had lost counts how many times he had negotiation like this one. At first, he was inexperienced and confused, but now he was calm and able to behave with perfect composure no matter what happened. As time went by. He became more mature now.
Some said that they couldn't be mature because they themselves were what they looked like when they became mature. Jacob, on the contrary, was not one of them.
Of course, Jacob had no idea of his own changes. He knew what he should do. People with goals always had motivation to move on.
Jacob looked at Wyatt. One of those symbols of most successful people was probably a bulge belly, but Jacob was an exception. Or maybe Jacob wasn't a successful man yet?
"You're so confident, Mr. Jacob. But you are right. I don't have time to come here to laugh at you. On the contrary, if I want to laugh at you, I won't be here. "
Wyatt drank another glass of ice water, he seemed to like it very much. Jacob understood Wyatt. The weather was so hot that it made people feel sweltering even if there was an air conditioner in this room.
Summer was summer. Jacob pursed his lips and leaned back on the chair with his hands across his chest.
Wyatt was more difficult to deal with than Shawn. Jacob couldn't help frowning. Jacob kept silent. He wanted to talk about it openly, but it seemed that Wyatt didn't intend to do so.
"Well, I won't beat around the Bush, Mr. Jacob. I'm here today, on the one hand, to meet you, the well-known Mr. Jacob; and on the second hand, I'd like to discuss about whether we can cooperate or not. I'm a casual person. As long as you can persuade me, I will say yes about out cooperation. "
Wyatt smiled. He could tell that Jacob was in a heavy mood. He also knew that Jacob was in a heavy mood because of him.
And he was smart enough to know that he had to do the peacemaking.
Wyatt made it clearer that he couldn't let others take advantage of him. Of course, he was also bargaining with Jacob, which not only gave Jacob hope, but also made him feel it was not easy to achieve his goal.
All in all, he wanted to make Jacob feel that there was always something between them to stop him from winning easily.
Jacob nodded and looked calm. Of course, he just pretended to frown in front of Wyatt.
Business negotiate was like seeing someone. He couldn't speak too straight. If you were too straightforward, the other party would think that you were dumb.
