Rebirth and Reversal of Fortune

Chapter 308 Negotiation and Resolution, Talent Development

Su Jinxiu personally participated in the negotiations and, with her excellent eloquence and wisdom, resolved the trade dispute.

Faced with the numerous difficulties in the Hou family's business, Su Jinxiu decided to step forward. She prepared meticulously, thoroughly researched the other party's demands and weaknesses, and entered the negotiation room with full confidence.

At the negotiating table, the other side remained tough and used harsh language.

"The Marquis's residence must withdraw from the spice market, or we will not let this go!" the representative shouted.

Su Jinxiu smiled slightly and replied calmly, "Everyone, such a decisive approach is not good for anyone. The market is so vast that no single company can monopolize it."

She analyzed the current market situation clearly and logically, pointing out that vicious competition would only lead to mutual destruction.

"Our Marquis's Mansion is willing to share the benefits with everyone, jointly formulate reasonable prices and market rules, and achieve a win-win situation." Su Jinxiu's words were firm and resolute.

The other side's representatives began whispering among themselves, their attitude softening somewhat.

Taking advantage of the momentum, Su Jinxiu proposed a series of specific cooperation plans.

"We can divide the market into different regions, each leveraging its own strengths to avoid direct conflict. At the same time, we can jointly procure raw materials to reduce costs and increase profits."

An elderly man among the other representatives nodded slightly: "That is a feasible solution, but the specific details still need to be discussed further."

Su Jinxiu realized this was a breakthrough, and she continued to have a heated discussion with the other party about the details.

During the negotiations, the other party frequently made unreasonable demands in an attempt to gain the upper hand.

However, Su Jinxiu, with her keen insight and flexible adaptability, resolved each problem one by one.

“We cannot accept this condition. If you insist on it, I’m afraid cooperation is hopeless.” Su Jinxiu’s stance was firm and unyielding.

After several rounds of heated debate, the two sides finally reached a preliminary agreement.

However, just as the agreement was about to be signed, the other party suddenly made a new request.

"The Marquis's Mansion must cede a portion of its market share in the short term as compensation to us."

Su Jinxiu's heart sank, but she quickly calmed down.

"This demand is too harsh. We have already made great concessions. If you insist, all our previous efforts will be in vain."

Su Jinxiu's resoluteness made the other party fall into deep thought.

Ultimately, the other party abandoned this request, and the two parties successfully signed an agreement.

With the trade dispute resolved, the Marquis's spice business gradually returned to normal.

But just then, new troubles began to arise.

Some small business owners who had previously been suppressed harbored resentment towards the Hou family and united to boycott their products.

"The Marquis's family only cared about themselves before, and now they can forget about us supporting them anymore!"

Recognizing the importance of talent, the Marquis's residence increased its efforts in cultivating and attracting talent.

After experiencing a series of twists and turns, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling realized that talent was key to the continued development of the Marquis's mansion. Therefore, they decided to establish a special school within the mansion to cultivate various talents.

"We need to cultivate not only business talent, but also talent in management, diplomacy, and other fields," Xiao Ling said at the meeting.

The Marquis's residence began posting notices throughout the region, recruiting talented and promising young people. The news quickly attracted many ambitious individuals to apply.

"I must enter the Marquis's mansion and show my talents!" a young scholar said with great anticipation.

However, selecting talent is no easy task. The applicants vary in ability and require careful screening.

Su Jinxiu personally participated in the selection process, setting questions and interviewing each candidate.

“What are your thoughts on the current business situation?” Su Jinxiu asked one of the candidates.

“I think…” the candidate answered nervously.

After rigorous selection, a group of outstanding young people entered the Marquis's academy.

To help these young people mature as quickly as possible, the Marquis's residence invited renowned teachers from all walks of life to give lectures. Experienced merchants imparted their business acumen, learned scholars explained cultural knowledge, and highly skilled martial arts masters taught self-defense techniques.

"Everyone should cherish this opportunity and study hard," Su Jinxiu encouraged the students.

During the training process, we also encountered many problems. Some students had thoughts of giving up due to the heavy academic pressure.

"This study is too hard, I'm afraid I can't keep going," one student said.

Upon learning of this, Xiao Ling personally spoke with the students, explaining the Marquis's expectations for them.

"As long as you have mastered your studies, the Marquis's Mansion will definitely provide you with a broad stage."

At the same time, the Marquis's residence actively recruited talent from outside. However, some talented individuals had doubts about the Marquis's treatment and development prospects.

"Although the Marquis's residence is interested, I would like to consider it further," said one of the invited talents.

Su Jinxiu decided to improve her treatment and develop a more attractive career plan.

"As long as you come to the Marquis's residence, we will definitely not let you down."

After a period of effort, the talents cultivated and introduced by the Marquis's mansion have gradually begun to show their abilities.

But at this moment, other forces noticed the Marquis's talent strategy and began to secretly poach his people.

"If you come here, you'll be treated much better than at the Marquis's mansion."
