Chapter 145
After a drink, everyone was talking and laughing, not discussing serious matters, just chatting about trivial things, and the atmosphere was quite lively.
Yi Feng saw that Pan Chengfu was not in a hurry to talk, so he himself was not in a hurry either, since he was in a dominant position anyway, he thought they should make the first move.
Eating and drinking, two hours passed, and after four bottles of Maotai, everyone was full and satisfied.
Pan Chengfu saw that the timing was almost right, stood up again, and started distributing cigarettes, offering one to Yi Feng first, then to the others.
Cai Tongming lit the lighter and personally lit Yi Feng’s cigarette.
Yi Feng smiled and did not hesitate to light the cigarette.
During this meal, he was the one receiving cigarettes, not the one offering them, since the other party needed him, he could naturally accept it gladly.
This is the rule of different drinking gatherings; when you are seeking favors from others, or it’s a gathering of acquaintances, you naturally need to be more attentive. When others need you, you have to hold yourself with a certain dignity, otherwise, people will think you are easy to talk to and dare to make any requests.
Pan Chengfu lit a cigarette for himself, turned his head towards Yi Feng, and said, “Mr. Yi, I am truly sorry about the Nie Xin matter, our Shengde Company is responsible, and we will bear all the losses caused.”
“For those two batches of goods, I will compensate you double the price, a total of 240,000, how about it?”
He also knew that compensating at the price would not make Yi Feng happy, so he made a condition to double it, showing his sincerity.
He thought Yi Feng would gladly accept, but Yi Feng just smoked his cigarette, did not speak immediately, and his expression even became a bit colder.
Bringing up this topic, the atmosphere in the private room also subtly changed, everyone was quietly observing Yi Feng’s expression.
After a while, Yi Feng flicked the cigarette ash and said, “Mr. Pan, I can feel your sincerity in wanting to solve this issue, but… the condition you mentioned, I’m afraid I cannot accept.”
By the side, Wang Tie, holding his dish, chimed in, “The procedure for our customers is to return one and compensate three, and even add new parts on top of that, the loss… haha, is far more than that number.” In fact, Yi Feng’s subsequent handling was timely, replacing new parts for those customers, and not all were compensated threefold. Plus, there were many parts not sold initially, so the real final loss was only a bit over 70,000 yuan.
But Yi Feng couldn’t say this to Pan Chengfu, his previous display of anger was also to create the illusion of a heavy loss.
This was, of course, to heavily knock on Shengde Company!
Yi Feng secretly sneered, thinking 240,000 yuan was enough to send him away? Wishful thinking!
Pan Chengfu squinted his eyes at Yi Feng and asked with a smile, “So… what are your conditions, Mr. Yi?”
Yi Feng took a drag from his cigarette, tapping on the table, “This incident not only caused us to lose a great deal in business but also cost us our customers’ trust. For us, the loss is far more than just a few times the price of the goods.”
“Mr. Pan, you wouldn’t be content with that either, would you?”
“So, I’ve had those two batches of goods recalled, 120,000 yuan worth of goods returned to you, plus three times the loss in our return one compensate three policy, and other losses… adding up to 600,000 yuan.”
Yu Guangchun’s face changed dramatically, “What? 600,000 yuan?!”
That’s five times the price of the goods!
Unexpectedly, Yi Feng would ask for such a high price!
Insane!
Pan Chengfu’s expression also became grave, but he did not speak immediately, just silently pondering, weighing the pros and cons.
600,000 yuan, to be honest, was much higher than his expectations, but… not to the point of being completely unacceptable.
The impact of that online post had already caused Shengde Company to lose ninety percent of its partners, with an expected loss of revenue in the millions!
That was the biggest hit to Shengde Company!
He looked at Cai Tongming, wanting to see what Cai Tongming thought.
The two exchanged glances, and Cai Tongming nodded.
Pan Chengfu immediately understood Cai Tongming’s meaning, took a drag from his cigarette, feeling very displeased inside, but still managed to squeeze out a smile on his face, saying to Yi Feng, “I hadn’t expected the Nie Xin incident to cause such a great loss to Mr. Yi, I’m truly sorry, and I feel guilty.”
“Mr. Yi’s condition just now, 600,000 yuan is indeed a bit high, but to show our sincerity, and because we still hope to cooperate with Mr. Yi in the future, this compensation amount is no problem.”
“Mr. Pan…” Yu Guangchun looked anxious, wanting to speak, but was stopped by Pan Chengfu raising his hand.
“Mr. Yi, I’ll have finance transfer the 600,000 yuan to your account today,” Pan Chengfu said, looking at Yi Feng.
Yi Feng smiled, “Mr. Pan is indeed decisive and efficient, I admire that.”
“Since Mr. Pan is so straightforward, let’s let bygones be bygones.”
Cai Tongming raised his glass and laughed, “Exactly, Mr. Yi’s words are truly profound, let the past be the past, in the future, we must continue to work together closely, here, I toast to Mr. Yi!”
Pan Chengfu also raised his glass with a smile, only Yu Guangchun’s face was flushed with suppression, his expression strange, but he had no choice but to raise his glass too.
Yi Feng glanced at the three men, taking in their expressions, smiled, and also picked up his glass.
Wang Tie secretly laughed inside, sure enough, this amount was probably hitting their psychological bottom line!
Brother Feng is really awesome!
After this incident, his amazement at Yi Feng’s ability to grasp human psychology deepened.
Everyone drained their glasses in one gulp.
Pan Chengfu thought it was time to talk about the most important matter, the online exposure post.
Since Yi Feng had accepted his conditions, he assumed Yi Feng also knew what to do about this matter.
“Mr. Yi, I have a favor to ask,” Pan Chengfu said as he offered Yi Feng another cigarette, after seeing his was finished.
Yi Feng took the cigarette, pretending not to know what he was going to ask, and said, “Oh? What is it, Mr. Pan?”
“There’s a post online recently, exposing and slandering our Shengde Company, it’s had a big impact on us, Mr. Yi knows about this, right?” Pan Chengfu asked.
Yi Feng showed a look of sudden realization, “Oh, that matter, I have indeed heard about it.”
Pan Chengfu squinted his eyes at him, “I don’t know who posted it, do you have a way to take the post down, Mr. Yi?”
“There is a way, since Mr. Pan has asked, I’ll think of a solution when I get back, pull some strings, it shouldn’t be a problem,” Yi Feng said lightly with a smile.
Pan Chengfu felt cold inside, as expected!
The post was indeed related to Yi Feng!
And it was very likely he was the one who posted it!
Yi Feng, well done, very bold!
We’ll see in the future!
“Ahahaha, then I’m really thankful to Mr. Yi, very grateful! Come, I toast to you!” Pan Chengfu feigned surprise, stood up, and toasted Yi Feng.
“No need to be polite, Mr. Pan, you’ve been so straightforward with the compensation, how could I not reciprocate?” Yi Feng stood up and laughed, clinking glasses with him.
After settling the matter, both parties continued drinking and laughing, with occasional bursts of their respective hypocritical laughter filling the private room.
This drinking session lasted for three hours in total, and Yi Feng, seeing it was getting late, stood up to take his leave.
Pan Chengfu made a show of persuading him to stay, then still escorted Yi Feng and Wang Tie out of Tao Tao Ju, even personally hailing them a taxi and paying the fare.
Pan Chengfu watched the taxi drive away, his expression instantly turning gloomy.
Yu Guangchun said angrily, “Mr. Pan, we really have to compensate them 600,000 yuan? This, this is too high!”
Pan Chengfu gritted his teeth, “If we don’t compensate this Yi fellow, would he agree so easily to take down the post?! Fuck!”
He turned his head to watch the direction of the departing car, cursing silently in his heart.
Fuck, Yi Feng, you wait for me!
