Leveling Up With My Pet



Du Xue was overwhelmed with astonishment, unable to calm herself down. She was no naive novice; she fully understood the significance of job number 0001. Her gaze fixed on Liu Yong with a dull expression, and it took her considerable time to regain her composure. "Y-You...you're the boss," she stuttered, her speech faltering, a testament to the immense shock she was experiencing.

Liu Yong smiled lightly, nodding without any trace of arrogance. He entered the company, leaving Du Xue still rooted to her spot. Her mind was in a state of chaos, a single thought reverberating repeatedly: Oh my god, the boss and I are practically becoming friends, addressing each other as Brother Yong.

Gradually, Du Xue's spirits lifted. My name is Brother Yong, the boss. This alone is enough to boast about for a lifetime, she thought to herself.

Meanwhile, Liu Yong arrived at his office. After a brief period, Qiu Yang personally came to report, "Boss, the reception room has been prepared, and Walter Jeff and his party of seven are on their way."

Liu Yong nodded lightly and gave his instructions. "Inform me as soon as they arrive. I want to meet them in person."

"Okay, boss," Qiu Yang replied dutifully.

Walter Jeff, one of the three vice presidents of Melpark, had arrived with his team at the Global Shipping Group to discuss potential cooperation.

Before meeting them, Liu Yong felt a sense of anticipation, his intuition hinting at the possibility of significant monetary gains if the negotiations went well.

In due time, Walter Jeff and his team arrived at the entrance of the office building. They descended from their vehicles and made their way inside.

Once they entered the hall, Walter Jeff addressed an attendant beside him, "The Global Shipping Group is still operating from a leased office building. They don't even have a building of their own. Compared to our Melpark company, they are significantly behind."

The subordinate immediately chimed in, flattering his superior. "Boss, we are a world-renowned large company. Our revenue exceeded 70 billion U.S. dollars last year. Global Shipping was established less than a year ago, and their revenue was less than 1 billion U.S. dollars."

Walter Jeff grinned smugly, leading his entourage to the elevator. Upon reaching the Global Shipping Group, they were promptly greeted and escorted to the reception room.

Once seated in the reception room, Walter Jeff was slightly dissatisfied when he noticed the absence of senior executives from the Global Shipping Group. As one of Melpark's vice presidents, he was accustomed to being in a position of superiority, rarely finding himself waiting for others.

He had expected the management at the Global Shipping Group to be prepared and eagerly awaiting his arrival as a representative of Melpark. However, it was not the case.

A severe expression etched across his face, Walter Jeff's discontent grew.

In truth, Liu Yong did not adopt an arrogant attitude. He adhered to the principle of respecting guests and arrived within a few minutes. He displayed a warm demeanour, initiating handshakes with Walter Jeff and his team and exchanging polite greetings.

Once the honoured guests had taken their seats, Liu Yong maintained his enthusiasm. "Welcome, Mr Walter Jeff and your party, to our company," he chirped.

Walter Jeff expressed his gratitude, but his demeanour lacked the expected enthusiasm, giving his words a diplomatic tone.

Unfamiliar with Walter Jeff's personality, Liu Yong assumed it to be his natural disposition—a seriousness that prevailed in his mannerisms and expressions. Liu Yong didn't let it bother him and continued the conversation, engrossed in friendly discussion.

After a while, the conversation turned to the crux of the matter. Walter Jeff said, "Mr Liu, Diya Company is one of our significant competitors in the cosmetics industry. I've heard that your company possesses marine white monster fish oil resources. I want to discuss a potential collaboration with your company."

Liu Yong welcomed the proposition, saying, "Certainly, we have no issues with that. We do possess this fish oil, which is derived from the fat found in the belly of the deep-sea white monster fish."

Walter Jeff continued, "We require this type of fat, Mr. Liu. How about selling us all the white monster fish fat you have?"

Liu Yong glanced at Walter Jeff and realized the foreigner needed to grasp the situation entirely. The resources of fat at his disposal were practically inexhaustible.

Thus, Liu Yong offered a gentle reminder, "The deep-sea white monster fish fat in my possession is abundant, and it's unlikely that your company would require such a significant amount. Moreover, this type of fat comes at a considerable price."

Confidently, Walter Jeff replied, "We are a major company. Regardless of the quantity of fat from this white monster fish, we can consume it all. Please tell me the price."

Liu Yong smiled and responded, "It costs $5,000 per kilogram, and I have a thousand tons of it. Are you interested?"

"What? $5,000 per kilogram!" Walter Jeff exclaimed, almost leaping out of his seat. Anger welled up inside him. How could it be so outrageous? Who would agree to such an outrageous price?

Walter Jeff had severely underestimated the situation, assuming the price to be a couple hundred dollars per kilogram, at most a few hundred dollars. The actual figure being thousands of dollars left him dumbfounded.

Observing Walter Jeff's reaction, Liu Yong raised his arms helplessly, wearing a wry smile. He hadn't randomly set the price; when he sold the fat to Diya Company, it was at the same rate, and they were pleased with the deal. They had purchased dozens of tons, amounting to over $200 million.

Suppressing his anger, Walter Jeff adopted a severe expression and stated, "Mr Liu, Melpark Company is a major organization. We don't entertain any blackmail. We are willing to offer you a maximum of $200 per kilogram for the thousand tons of white monster fish fat in your possession."

Furthermore, he added a condition, "Additionally, starting from today, the fat from this white monster fish can only be sold to our Melpark company. You are no longer allowed to sell it to any other company or individual."

Taken aback, Liu Yong couldn't believe his ears. He pondered whether he had misheard or misunderstood. This was a seller's market, and he held the ultimate say. Who gave Walter Jeff such an inflated sense of superiority? Was it because he was vice president of a company with annual revenue of $70 billion? In his eyes, their Global Shipping Group was a small enterprise.

Having grasped the situation, Liu Yong decided pursuing cooperation under such circumstances was pointless. Money was something he needed.

Seriousness etched on his face, Liu Yong stood up and declared, "Since we cannot reach an agreement due to such a significant price difference, I believe it's best to forget about it."

Walter Jeff was left momentarily stunned, followed by a surge of anger.

As a high-level executive of a large company, he found it unacceptable to be treated this way. He stormed out of the meeting room with his team, seething angrily.

The first negotiation ended sadly, with both parties parting ways.

Meanwhile, back at Diya Company, President Kanter received disturbing news. He learned that a vice president from Melpark, Diya's competitor, had led a team to the Global Shipping Group. The situation did not bode well for him or Diya as a whole.

President Kanter paced anxiously in his office with a concerned expression and furrowed brow, deep in thought.
