Chapter 1380 Sessful 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 arge 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, youngdy.”
Tony was surprised. “Do you two know each other?”
“More than just knowing,” Vernon replied as he took something from a drawer and ced 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It turned out that Vernon was the middle-aged man who had withdrawn over a thousand dors that
day
and helped the antique vendor.
“That day, when I left the antique stall, my wallet was stolen by a pickpocket,” Vernon exined. “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 pir by the entrance,” Vernon
said. “I was standing nearby at the time, so I thought you would eithere 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
coborative 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 exined. “Their design level is higher than ours here, but the materials
andbor 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.
“Yourpany 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 toplete the project sessfully.”
Vernon apanied the two of them to the exit, but before they left, he suddenly remembered
something and turned to ask Emmeline, “I rememberst time you copied the contact number for
leasing. the booths. Do you also have ns in that area?”
Emmeline replied, “I n 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
downstairster, 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 ns 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.
