Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1638: Chapter 1360: Guys Like This Are Truly Terrifying! (Part 3)

Judging by the numbers alone, these contracts don’t seem numerous, given that each side has hundreds, if not thousands, of subsidiaries.

However, every single one of these contracts is a partnership between the top two hundred companies under each party’s control.

This is quite impressive!

Because among those big companies, one alone can be worth several ordinary small and medium-sized enterprises!

In terms of clauses, Soruns has offered considerable concessions, making the business group negotiations incredibly smooth.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to sign so many agreements in such a short time.

Bai Xiaosheng once served as the Zhongjing Media General Manager, and back then, the collaboration between Zhongjing Media and Ron was achieved after prolonged negotiations.

The bigger the company, the more cautious the negotiations are, and the harder it is to see results.

Nowadays, this rule seems obsolete.

Bai Xiaosheng thinks that since this was his first visit, Soruns wished to establish a lasting, stable, and good cooperative relationship with him, hence the significant goodwill gestures.

However, due to this, Bai Xiaosheng truly owed him a favor.

At the very least, the value of growth performance delayed by the reforms in the Greater China Region was greatly compensated here.

Although Jiang Kuo, the Greater China Region’s Business President, promised him the freedom to act, in the end, stabilizing growth allowed for better accountability to the Group’s headquarters.

”Soruns is quite an outstanding person,” Bai Xiaosheng remarked while sipping coffee, speaking to Lin Weiwei beside him on the journey.

Lin Weiwei naturally nodded in agreement.

”It’s just that sometimes, I... can’t quite figure him out,” Bai Xiaosheng murmured.

Bai Xiaosheng’s discernment abilities have become extremely refined, to the point where he can even discern the intentions of business magnates like Feng Xiangnan and Dyson.

Of course, primarily, Bai Xiaosheng is not their ”enemy,” so those two naturally do not remain fully guarded.

Secondly, Bai Xiaosheng’s youthful appearance is misleading, causing others to inadvertently let their guard down.

Those two acknowledge Bai Xiaosheng’s high position and power but don’t believe his insight is particularly sharp.

If Bai Xiaosheng were a sixty or seventy-year-old man, full of worldly experience and cunning, they wouldn’t have been so easily seen through.

Yet, on the same foundation, Bai Xiaosheng always felt that when with Soruns, he couldn’t see through him.

Bai Xiaosheng always felt Soruns’ eagerness to get close to him was excessively sincere to the point of seeming somewhat ulterior, yet not quite.

In conclusion, Bai Xiaosheng himself couldn’t quite articulate what that feeling was.

”Xiaosheng, what do you mean... exactly?” Lin Weiwei asked, more confused than ever.

”Never mind, never mind. Nothing.” Bai Xiaosheng laughed, gazing into the distance.

At this moment.

Having just hung up the phone with Bai Xiaosheng, Soruns was having coffee with someone in a study.

Behind the opposite party stood a beautiful woman dressed in a maid outfit.

If Bai Xiaosheng saw the man, he would undoubtedly recognize him — ”Wen Yan.”

And the maid behind him was always present — ”Ruan Yu.”

Wen Yan was also a distinguished figure at the Zhenbei Group headquarters, independent of the six major business divisions, within the Supervision Department!

”For now, I’ve tried my best to help him. However, Bai Xiaosheng is truly shrewd, so I can’t be too obvious about it, fearing he might resist,” Soruns said, holding coffee, smiling at Wen Yan, ”and fearing that suspicion might breed caution and hostility.”

Wen Yan nodded, leisurely stirring his coffee.

”Nevertheless, I will follow up in secret, allowing him to benefit more on his side as much as possible under normal circumstances! Helping him achieve better first-year performance as the newly appointed Greater China Region President!” Soruns laughed.

Wen Yan looked up, returning a smile, ”It’s hard work for you. This might affect your performance in the Europe region, I suppose.”

”No problem.” Soruns shrugged, laughed, ”Anyway, no matter how well I do here, I won’t be number one, and no matter how poorly, I won’t drop out of the top three.”

Soruns’ easygoing honesty made Wen Yan nod in agreement with a smile once again.

However, after a moment of hesitation, Soruns couldn’t help but ask, ”Do you really hold him in such high regard? Although he’s smart and seems very capable, even with potential. But after all, you and I know, his starting point was quite low, and it’s hard to say if he might have limitations in terms of ambition and perspective. I’m afraid he won’t be able to get into the headquarters and take on more important positions in just a few years!”

They were providing assistance to help Bai Xiaosheng progress faster and climb higher.

Wen Yan looked at Soruns with a smile, ”Does origin or starting point really matter that much?”

”Can’t a person who was originally a teacher become the richest man years later?”

”The starting point is important, but growth is even more crucial!”

”Bai Xiaosheng is very impressive!” Wen Yan smiled with certainty, ”I’ve leveraged some resources to gather information on his actions in the Greater China Region; would you like to see my analysis?”

”On the surface, his actions seem like straightforward, bold reforms, but in fact, beneath the blazing reforms, there’s a series of strategic steps, hiding several medium and long-term ’plots’!”

Soruns showed a bit of surprise in his gaze.

Compared to Bai Xiaosheng’s subtle ’hidden plots,’ of which he was unaware, Soruns was more astonished by Wen Yan’s earnest praise of a person, with even the light in his eyes shining with admiration.

”Bai Xiaosheng is like a brilliant chess player, crafting a large, complex game. Initially aggressive or even reckless, but deeply intricate and detailed, you can’t realize how fascinating it is beneath the chessboard until the very end!” Wen Yan marveled, ”I further admire his control over the entire game! That requires a broad vision! From what I’ve observed, I admire him more and more, and believe he’s capable.”

”Moreover—” Wen Yan genuinely laughed, ”such a person is formidable!”
