Chapter 1380 Successful Negotiation

"Mr. Chester, there are guests here to see you."

They arrived at the fourth-floor reception, and the attendant went to inform the general manager's office. about the visitors.

A mild-mannered male voice from inside said, "Please bring the guests in and prepare some tea."

As they entered the room, just as Tony handed his business card to Vernon, Emmeline froze.

"Is it you!" she said.

Seated behind a large desk was a middle-aged man, and it was none other than Vernon Chester, the contractor of the department store.

Upon seeing Emmeline, he smiled. "Fancy seeing you here, young lady."

Tony was surprised. "Do you two know each other?"

"More than just knowing," Vernon replied as he took something from a drawer and placed it on the desk. "I have a feeling this is yours, dear."

"My wallet?" Emmeline chuckled. "How did it end up with you?"

It turned out that Vernon was the middle-aged man who had withdrawn over a thousand dollars that day

and helped the antique vendor.

"That day, when I left the antique stall, my wallet was stolen by a pickpocket," Vernon explained. "Later, the police caught the thief and found five or six wallets on him, and one of them had your photo inside, so I kept it."

Emmeline smiled and said, "What a coincidence! Thank you!"

"I had a feeling I would run into you again," Vernon said happily.

Emmeline blushed slightly. "How did you know we would meet again? We just had a brief encounter."

"You were copying the contact number for the lease of the booth on a pillar by the entrance," Vernon said. "I was standing nearby at the time, so I thought you would either come back or give me a call. I remembered your voice, soft and pure."

Emmeline chuckled and marveled at his attention to detail.

The discussion on the proposal then proceeded smoothly, evolving from expected negotiations to a collaborative effort. Everyone shared their opinions on the proposal while actively expanding on ideas. The passionate discussion continued for two hours. In the end, they decided that RetroWave Advertisements would take on the entire advertising decoration project, and certain details of the proposal. would be further refined by their team.

The advertising budget was subjected to auditing and verification, with some flexibility allowed in the final

decision.

After finalizing the proposal details, both parties signed the contract, specifying the project timeline and

payment terms.

"I initially intended to entrust the advertising decoration project of this building to the 'NeonEdge Ad Agency' in the south," Vernon explained. "Their design level is higher than ours here, but the materials and labor costs are also much higher. Today, after meeting Emmeline, I believe choosing your company is the right decision, given her character.”

Tony quickly stood up to express his gratitude.

With this statement, everything was practically settled. Vernon added a final condition: payment would be split into three phases.

Upon signing the contract, an upfront payment of 30% would be due, allowing RetroWave Advertisements. to proceed confidently with the project.

Hearing this, Tony nearly knelt in gratitude, with tears pooling in his eyes.

He was in dire need of money right now. Without an advance payment, he'd have to borrow money for the initial production costs.

Across the table, Tony shook Vernon's hand firmly and repeated "thank you" four times.

"Your company is just getting started, and equipment investments and personnel expenses all require money," Vernon said. "I can imagine your difficulties, and an advance payment is reasonable under the circumstances. So, please don't be polite. Our biggest wish is to complete the project successfully."

Vernon accompanied the two of them to the exit, but before they left, he suddenly remembered something and turned to ask Emmeline, "I remember last time you copied the contact number for leasing. the booths. Do you also have plans in that area?"

Emmeline replied, "I plan to rent a few sets of booths when the opportunity arises, get some clothing from Sandwell, and try my hand at it."

"To have such ideas at your age. You're a future entrepreneur!" Vernon smiled. "When we go downstairs later, you can choose your preferred location, and I'll reserve it for you."

"That won't be necessary. I haven't even taken the first step in my plans yet. Space is precious in the mall, and I can't hold it for you," Emmeline replied.

"That's not a problem. You take your time deciding, and if you don't need it, you can let me know," Vernon. assured her.

Now it was Emmeline's turn to be deeply moved, just like Tony had been earlier.
