Chapter 671 Win-win
To sum up, Malu got 100,000 in cash, 200,000 in compensation, the right to win a draw, and home field advantage through tonight''s negotiation.
He originally wanted to try again and set the time for the competition to one month later, so that there would be no suspense at all, but Luo Xiangshi had been studying Houde recently and was aware of the incredible growth rate of this school.
So I decided to set the time for next week no matter what.
In fact, if it weren''t for the fact that applications for competitions between schools must be made a week in advance, Luo Xiangshi even hoped that the competition could be held tomorrow, and he could fly the students over overnight.
And the price of all this is that Houde will face the No. 4 Heroes of the Ministry of Education next week.
Well, to be honest, this was what Malu expected.
In fact, it was not that he couldn''t accept it even if he faced Ming Xia. The reason why he insisted on Xia Yin at the beginning was just to show off.
That''s what negotiation is like. The more you care, the more likely you are to extract more benefits from the other party.
If Ma Lu had said that he wanted to fight Ming Xia from the beginning, not only would 300,000 yuan be gone, Luo Xiangshi would probably also be muttering in his heart, wondering if there was a fraud involved.
On the other hand, although he now paid an extra 300,000 yuan and signed a series of unequal treaties, his whole face looked red.
Because in Luo Xiangshi''s view, which school will play is undoubtedly the most important thing, and the rest are details.
Mingxia is of course the best, but Heroes is not bad either. This is the school ranked 4th on the Ministry of Education''s list of colleges and universities. The students are selected from the best young people in each province. The worst qualifications are C grade, and they have to He is the kind of person who has a very strong relationship with his family.
If a student from a commoner family wants to join the Heroes, he must start with a second-class qualification.
At the same time, the group also spent huge sums of money to hire famous teachers to teach them, provide them with sufficient training resources, formulate scientific training schedules, and regularly arrange for them to enter disaster zones to accumulate practical experience.
If we can no longer win, wouldn’t it be a failure of modern education?
So when Malu finally relented under the money offensive, Luo Xiangshi remained calm on the surface, but was already cheering in his heart.
A mere 300,000 yuan was nothing compared to the value of that thing, not to mention the 200,000 yuan in compensation that Hou De couldn''t get.
In other words, he only spent 100,000 yuan and made concessions on some small and insignificant conditions to gain the greatest advantage.
He was afraid that Ma Lu would regret it after he went back to think about it, so he wrote a bank draft of 100,000 yuan on the spot.
Malu got 100,000 for nothing, and he still had 200,000 waiting for him, so he was very happy.
In short, both parties felt that they had won this negotiation, and at the same time, in order to prevent the other party from seeing that they had won, they both chose to keep a straight face.
Seeing that this matter finally came to an end, all the guests breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, even now, many people still feel that it is unreal.
Mingxia Group has a background, which is something everyone expected, but Houde has been declining for more than a year or two.
As Pingcheng locals, no one knows better than them how bad the Dumiao Talisman School has been in recent years.
The Cao brothers and sisters still have some connections, and they basically rely on the help of graduates of the same class or old alumni. Some of these people are in business and some are in politics, and some are doing well, but at most they are in the city bureau.
There would be no one further up, otherwise we wouldn’t be in the same predicament as before.
But this time, a deputy commander and the provincial chairman came forward to support Houde, which really surprised all the guests. From now on, they will never underestimate Houde again.
After the dinner, many people came over to say hello to Malu. No matter who wins the next bet between Malu and Luo Xiangshi, at least after this night, Houde has gained a firm foothold in Pingcheng.
Even Hou Chengyi, who had felt sorry for Houde before, took the initiative to apologize, and his attitude changed completely.
He patted his chest and said that the Municipal Education Bureau would also increase support for local schools in the future and increase financial allocations for Houde. He also said that there would be a meeting tonight to study this.
Afterwards, Director Hou even put his arm around Principal Ma''s shoulders affectionately, saying that from now on the two of them could treat each other like brothers.
Ma Lu glanced at Hou Chengyi, who was almost seventy years old, and felt a little admired in his heart.
But when you are an official, face is the least important thing.
Considering that everyone was in Pingcheng and would not look up or down, Ma Lu also had a few words with them. Seeing that there were still many people waiting to get close to him, Ma Lu directly attracted Lu Yingying and Cao Youyi.
Let them socialize with these people, while Malu took the opportunity to sneak out of the hotel.
He walked around to the back door of the hotel and peered toward the street.
After a while, a black car stopped in front of him, and then the door was opened, and a voice came from inside, "Come up."
After hearing this, Ma Lu sat in the car. Besides the driver, there was another familiar figure in the back seat.

"Thank you very much this time." Ma Lu said to Yuan Ruonan.
"You''re welcome. You helped me with the recording equipment. This is my return of favor to you."
Yuan Ruonan wore men''s clothing today and looked very heroic.
"Uncle Li was promoted by my father. He is one of our own. I have already said hello to him. If you have anything in the future, you can go to him directly."
"What''s going on with Chen Meng?" Ma Lu asked curiously, "Why does she also speak for me?"
"Chen Meng''s fiancé, Deputy Commander Wei, is considered to be a member of the president, but he is a slippery person and can be fought for, but this matter has nothing to do with him.
"Luo Xiangshi learned that Chen Meng was going to Pingcheng to film, so he wanted to pay for her to come here. But Chen Meng and I happened to be friends. I found her before she arrived at the hotel and asked her to help you stand up. In essence, I Like Luo Xiangshi, they all just wanted to pull off Deputy Commander Wei''s tiger skin.
"But to be honest, I didn''t expect Governor Zheng to come. He and Deputy Commander Wei had a relationship, although both of them were just playing along.
"But with this relationship, we can naturally ask my subordinates to send Chen Meng away on the grounds of protecting Chen Meng. Fortunately, I also have a backup plan, otherwise his intervention will be very detrimental to you."
Although Yuan Ruonan did not go to the hotel, he knew everything that happened there.
After a pause, she asked again, "By the way, what is in that box that actually attracted the Mingxia Group to spend so much money?"
"I don''t know." Ma Lu spread his hands, "When I got it, there was a secret charm on the iron box. I didn''t see what was actually inside, but Teacher Cao said that the iron box might be Ye Wang, Houde''s first principal. Shu left it."
Yuan Ruonan raised his eyebrows, "Why does Luo Xiangshi know what Ye Wangshu''s relics are?"
"If the iron box is really left by Ye Wangshu, and Luo Xiangshi can open it, it means that he has found Ye Wangshu''s descendants. The information about the box was probably told to him by Ye Wangshu''s descendants." Malu speculated.
