Wei Yumeng took a deep breath. "Mr. He, I have to admit that this is indeed the biggest problem in our project at the moment. However, at the beginning of our cooperation, we are willing to provide corresponding technical personnel, and at the same time, we will also select a group of new people to learn this technology."
"Then who should pay for these training expenses?" He Chong asked the key question again. "If we need to retrain a new batch of people, this is not a small amount."
Wei Yumeng clenched her fist. Indeed, when it came to training new personnel, it had always been a major challenge.
Because neither party was willing to bear the training costs, after all, using existing technical personnel would be much cheaper.
This was also a major difficulty for their project. Although Ye Group had achieved success in new green energy, the personnel who understood this technology were all high-level researchers. Even if they were temporarily asked to fill in for a while, it would probably not be easy to persuade them.
"Miss Wei, it seems you are not yet ready to promote this project. I am very sorry, but if this problem cannot be solved, then we cannot accept this cooperation."
He Chong said with some helplessness, "I think you can understand our difficulties. We are just an ordinary printing factory and do not have that much capital. The reason we are interested in you is because we heard that this energy consumes less and saves more money. But now it seems that not much can be saved, and we may have to pay more."
With that, he stood up. "I am very sorry. It seems we should find another opportunity to cooperate."
Wei Yumeng hurried forward and blocked He Chong's path. "Mr. He, can we talk again? This matter is not entirely unsolvable, we just haven't thought of a solution yet."
He Chong nodded. "Then it's not too late to contact me actively when you have thought of a solution. If the arrangements are reasonable, we can still cooperate. But now, I'm afraid we can't continue."
Watching He Chong's departing back, Wei Yumeng felt a pang of sadness and unwillingness.
Although she was not surprised by this outcome, she still hoped that this cooperation would be successful.
"Madam, don't be discouraged. It's common to encounter such situations in projects," Fang Xun comforted her.
Wei Yumeng nodded. "Yes, I know, but I'm still a bit disappointed."
Subsequently, several other good companies came to Wei Yumeng, but the results were all the same.
Wei Yumeng found herself in a rare project stagnation period, and if she couldn't reverse the situation, this project would likely be declared a failure.
Just thinking about this only made Wei Yumeng more unwilling, but what could she do?
"How is the situation over there?"
While Fang Xun was at Zhan's Group fetching documents, Zhan Mohan seized the opportunity to ask.
Fang Xun sighed. "The situation is indeed not good at the moment, and all the companies have refused to cooperate due to the same problem."
Zhan Mohan frowned. "What problem?"
Fang Xun then told Zhan Mohan the whole story.
"Give me the list of companies you contacted, and their contact information."
Fang Xun knew that Zhan Mohan was about to do something, so he handed it over to him directly.
From the beginning, when some collaborators were attracted by Wei Yumeng's popularity, to later coming for Zhan's Group.
But the results were ultimately unsatisfactory, and Wei Yumeng had no choice but to personally approach suitable companies to apply for cooperation.
It should be known that when companies cooperate, those who actively propose cooperation are likely to be in a passive position later on, but Wei Yumeng had no other choice.
However, another week passed, and nothing changed.
"Madam, please rest. If President Zhan sees you working so hard now, he will only feel more heartache," Fang Xun said, handing Wei Yumeng a cup of hot water.
Wei Yumeng was still reluctant to give up. "Is there really no company that can take on this project?"
She felt that she had already reduced the price offered to the other party to the lowest possible. But why was no one willing, even so?
Looking at her, Fang Xun sighed helplessly. "Madam, why don't we think about it from another angle? President Zhan always finds other better solutions by changing his perspective when he encounters a bottleneck."
Wei Yumeng tried her best to do as Fang Xun said, but after a while, she still failed.
As expected, this project, as other high-level executives had said, was simply impossible to continue?
It really was her impulsiveness and willfulness, thinking that as long as she worked hard, she could achieve anything.
But in fact, some things, even if you put in all your effort, may not yield the desired results.
Had she really reached the point where she had to give up?
At this moment, Fang Xun suddenly received a phone call and then hurried out.
When he returned, he was with another person, who was He Chong, whom they had spoken with before.
"Mr. He, why are you here?" Wei Yumeng was indeed somewhat surprised.
He Chong smiled at her and said, "Of course, I'm here for the cooperation."
Wei Yumeng couldn't quite believe it. He Chong had left earlier because the negotiations had failed.
So, was he here this time because...
Wei Yumeng quickly arranged a seat for He Chong. "Mr. He, are you planning to cooperate with us?"
"Yes," He Chong replied. "Actually, I thought about it for a long time after I went back. Green new energy may only be for practical purposes in our work, but in reality, its value is far beyond its usage value. For this reason alone, I think it's not impossible to pay a little more."
Wei Yumeng's face was full of surprise. She never expected He Chong to think this way.
"Mr. He, even so, we will still treat the cooperation fees fairly. After the previous discussions, I have decided that if new technical personnel need to be trained, we are willing to bear sixty percent of the cost."
But as soon as she finished speaking, the other party waved his hand. "No need. We will pay this part of the expenses. The people trained are for our factory, so paying a little more is for future sustainable development. I've calculated it, and this amount is not very large."
Wei Yumeng looked at the other party, a hint of doubt in her heart.
It was a good thing that the deal was made, but He Chong's change of attitude was too drastic.
It made her feel that this matter might not be as simple as it seemed.
