Beers obviously smiled.
With just this opening remark, his impression of An Nuan instantly changed.
He felt that the woman before him was not only pretty, but also very smart.
He was indeed not very satisfied with Gu Corporation's e-commerce platform. As an emerging industry, it still used the traditional sales model and did not get out of the old path of physical business. If it were not for North Wen Country basically having no major e-commerce industry, he would not have been able to cooperate with Gu Corporation either.
But in order to tap into the North Wen Country market, he could only rely on local industries.
He examined An Nuan and said, "According to my understanding of North Wen Country, Gu Corporation is the only major e-commerce industry in North Wen Country besides Gu Corporation. Miss An said she was interested, I wonder where Miss An's sincerity lies?"
"Pearl Chain E-commerce Platform. If Mr. Beers has time, he can learn more about it. This is a local e-commerce platform newly acquired by our An’s Group,” An Nuan answered calmly and confidently. “Of course I won't hide from Mr. Beers that this e-commerce platform is just a small local industry with a market value of 5 million, much less than the 2 billion investment of Gu Corporation. But our advantage is that because it is a brand new e-commerce platform, we can build it into a model that Mr. Beers is satisfied with. This is very different from the set pattern of Gu Corporation. Moreover, An’s Group has sufficient funds to build the e-commerce platform. In just one week, we have grown from 200,000 fans to 2 million fans. This means our potential is huge."
An Nuan was neither humble nor pushy, expressing everything she wanted to convey clearly.
She smiled lightly at the corners of her mouth, appearing at ease and self-assured. "As for Gu Corporation, the capital flow involved is already very large now. Mr. Beers will know the state of Gu Corporation if he looks into it deeply. Of course, I won't say much more here either. As a competitor, there are naturally industry rules. And I believe Mr. Beers doesn't need me to elaborate too much either. You have enough ability to investigate clearly."
Beers didn’t say much.
In the business world, they were all cunning old foxes.
Until the very end when there were tangible results, no one would reveal their own minds.
An Nuan also knew that talking too much for the first meeting seemed too eager for quick success. She bowed slightly, “I still have some friends over there, so I won't disturb Mr. Beers anymore.”
"Okay." Beers nodded.
An Nuan left with Tan Yufei.
The whole process was clearly visible to Gu Yan Sheng from a distance. His expression had become extremely ugly.
He knew An Nuan was trying to snatch the project from him.
Did she really think that just by acquiring a small e-commerce platform, she could compete with him for the market?!
Simply wishful thinking.
He tidied up his attire a bit and went straight to Beers.
He would never let An Nuan succeed!
...
The magnificent hall was filled with jubilation and harmony.
Almost all the upper-class dignitaries of North Wen Country’s high society had come to attend the business banquet.
Coming to such a place firstly highlighted one's status, because only people with real status would receive invitations. Secondly, it was naturally to increase connections. Under the same conditions, familiar faces would obviously have more advantages when people wanted to talk business.
Therefore, basically everyone who could attend business banquets would attend.
An Nuan took Tan Yufei around, introducing him one by one to important figures in the business circle.
Tan Yufei was also very polite and modest, chatting with them.
The whole banquet was busy.
Xia Qiqi was bored to death staying in the corner.
How on earth did An Nuan manage to deal with these stiff old men effortlessly and smoothly right now?
If it were her,
she wouldn’t last two minutes before getting bored.
She turned to look at Nie Ziming.
The old Nie Ziming didn’t seem to take the initiative to socialize much.
She didn’t know when he started to become proactive.
But Nie Ziming was afraid she would be bored, so he told her to wait for him in the corner while he socialized. He would come to her when he was done.
Xia Qiqi sighed.
She somehow felt that everyone was growing up while she was still useless.
She looked down, playing with her phone.
She really wanted to just go back now.
But she also didn’t want to leave Nie Ziming alone here.
She always felt that Nie Ziming was a lonely person who needed more warmth.
Xia Qiqi lowered her head to play with her phone, having nothing to do.
"Xia Qiqi." Suddenly, a familiar female voice sounded in her ear.
Xia Qiqi frowned slightly.
She was just completely impatient.
She really disliked Gu Yanxuan.
Disliked her to the bone.
She didn't understand before how such a perfect man like Gu Yan Sheng could have a sister like Gu Yanxuan.
Now she finally knew.
Snakes of a pit.
"What's the matter?" Xia Qiqi didn't give Gu Yanxuan any good face.
"I just want to tell you that since you’re divorced from Xiao Nanchen, stop pestering him!"
"None of your damn business!" Xia Qiqi swore.
"I'm his girlfriend, I don't allow a woman like you to appear by his side." Gu Yanxuan declared her dominance.
Xia Qiqi was a little angry.
But somehow, she didn't seem to be able to refute either.
As Xiao Nanchen's girlfriend, having a sense of ownership over Xiao Nanchen also seemed reasonable.
Xia Qiqi glanced around and saw Nie Ziming not far away. She said lightly, "When did I pester him?"
“Why did you go to Xiao Nanchen's apartment so late that night?” Gu Yanxuan questioned.
"I went to get my luggage, didn't you know? What, did I disturb your happy occasion?" Xia Qiqi taunted.
The scene of that night instantly came to her mind.
Simply too nauseating for her eyes.
“I don't want to see you go to Xiao Nanchen's apartment again.” Gu Yanxuan was extremely overbearing.
"Don't worry, I won't go again." Xia Qiqi glanced at Gu Yanxuan, "Places where you’ve slept, I find disgusting."
"Xia Qiqi!" Gu Yanxuan’s face turned red with anger.
"Don't shout. Be careful your lady image crumbles.” Xia Qiqi reminded sarcastically, “You’ve kept it up for so many years, it’s not worth breaking character because of me.”
"I'm too lazy to talk to you more." Gu Yanxuan showed complete disdain.
She walked past Xia Qiqi.
It was obviously to warn her, perhaps with some showing off as well.
What was there to show off?
It wasn’t like she didn’t have a boyfriend either.
Her boyfriend was a hundred times better than Xiao Nanchen.
The muddled Xiao Nanchen.
Whoever was with him would be miserable.
But for some reason, Xia Qiqi suddenly felt irritable at the moment.
No matter how she tried to ease it, she still felt extremely annoyed.
She looked at Nie Ziming socializing smoothly and thought for a while before sending him a message: "I don't feel well, so I’m going back first.”
After sending it, Xia Qiqi left the hall.
She didn’t know when she started losing interest in so many things.
