Chapter 1717: Chapter 1394: Two Little Ones Bai Xiaosheng and his two companions took Soruns’ private jet, and after five hours, arrived at London City. It was noon, and Soruns treated Bai Xiaosheng and his companions to a French meal at a five-star hotel owned by Zhenbei Group. After the meal, Soruns said to Bai Xiaosheng, “You can rest here in the afternoon. I have some things to deal with, and I’ll come to pick you up in the evening, not too late, around five or six o’clock. Then we can go together.” Bai Xiaosheng nodded upon hearing this. “I know that Huaxia values courtesy, so I’ll prepare a gift for you too,” Soruns said with a smile. “That’s very considerate,” Bai Xiaosheng replied with a smile. Soruns glanced at the time and said, “I should be going, make sure you rest. As for the cooperation agreement we’ve agreed upon with the family, I’ll have someone send a copy to your email. If you find it suitable, it’s simple; we can discuss, negotiate, and sign as per that. However, I can’t guarantee that the conditions you receive will be the same as ours. After all, it’s the result of extensive negotiations with them, and there’s also my family’s influence in it.” Soruns told Bai Xiaosheng in advance to prevent him from having too high expectations for the final outcome, as the conditions might not be as favorable as those on Soruns’ side, leading to disappointment. Bai Xiaosheng smiled and stood up to see Soruns off, “I don’t expect to have the same conditions as your European division; something close will make me very satisfied.” Bai Xiaosheng was sincere in his words, as he considered this a significant opportunity that fell into his lap. Seeing Bai Xiaosheng’s carefree attitude, Soruns nodded and said with a smile, “I’ll try my best to help you. Hopefully, they’ll sign the cooperation with similar terms for your side. With Asia’s current momentum, I can’t imagine them not being tempted.” Bai Xiaosheng also smiled and nodded in agreement. Ultimately, Bai Xiaosheng led Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying to see Soruns off to the elevator, watching him go up. Afterward, the three returned to the hotel restaurant, found a window seat, and enjoyed the view of London City while sipping coffee. They were on the twenty-something floor, providing a wide view through large floor-to-ceiling windows that made the place bright and clean—an excellent spot to appreciate London’s bustling scenery. Half a cup of coffee in, Bai Xiaosheng and his companions received the electronic version of the agreement from Soruns’ assistant, with only a few confidential clauses redacted, more than ninety percent of the content visible. Bai Xiaosheng sent copies to Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, and the three reviewed it together. “These collaborations are incredible! Once implemented, just imagine the benefits they’ll bring to the European division!” Lin Weiwei exclaimed. Having been studying finance for the past year, she couldn’t be considered a professional yet but had reached a professional threshold to the extent that she knew what the collaborations signified. Lei Ying was less proficient in these areas but had picked up quite a bit under Lin Weiwei’s influence, and his inherently sharp, unique perspective often allowed him to see things differently and propose unique insights.

With the help of the Red Lotus, Bai Xiaosheng could accurately assess the potential benefits behind each cooperative agreement. This filled Bai Xiaosheng with excitement, far beyond what Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying experienced. Bai Xiaosheng had already highly anticipated the opportunity brought by Soruns, yet he realized he had underestimated it! “Since I came to Europe, it seems I’ve been focusing only on the development of my private company and scouting for talent. Although there’s been significant progress with the business group, I can’t help but feel a bit guilty.” Bai Xiaosheng thought to himself. This time, he had the chance to leverage this opportunity for significant development within the Greater China Region! Upon seeing the core content of the contract, Lin Weiwei couldn’t help but marvel, “Mr. Soruns truly doesn’t see us as outsiders, sharing all this content with us!” Nearing Bai Xiaosheng and Lin Weiwei, Lei Ying stroked his chin without expressing any opinions. He was known for his cautious character, often teased by Lin Weiwei for being a bit mentally gloomy, always initially considering people as potential wrongdoers. Thus, during Lin Weiwei’s praise, he usually remained silent. Bai Xiaosheng skimmed through the content quickly, murmuring, “As long as we can sign based on the conditions here, even if they’re somewhat inferior, I’m happy with it!” “Absolutely, it’s sure to bring profits!” Lei Ying agreed with Bai Xiaosheng’s view. Following this, the three engaged in discussions based on the electronic version of the agreement. They debated which aspects of the content could be adjusted to better fit domestic circumstances. Which concessions they might relinquish to encourage the opposing side’s willingness to sign. Which aspects were non-negotiable but could be exchanged for others, and more… The discussion lasted about an hour, leading to some general conclusions. During the conversation, Lin Weiwei took charge of keeping records. After the exchange ended, the three sighed with relief, feeling quite satisfied. “Who would’ve thought that in the last week before returning, Mr. Soruns would offer us such a substantial opportunity, possibly equaling half of the business group’s achievements,” Lin Weiwei couldn’t help but remark to Bai Xiaosheng and Lei Ying. Bai Xiaosheng exhaled slowly to calm his urgent excitement. No need to get too carried away yet; the final signing hasn’t happened! Anything seemingly wonderful, until it’s final and secure, don’t celebrate prematurely. Bai Xiaosheng settled his thoughts, stood up, stretched his back, walked to the window, gazing out over London City through the floor-to-ceiling windows, “We’ve been sitting for too long, let’s go out for a stroll, relax a bit.”
