Caroline took the initiative to call Vice Chairman Morgan and, over the phone, candidly informed him that Bai Xiaosheng refused to collaborate with her.
In terms of collaboration with the Greater China Region, Caroline's appetite was only so large; she could lower it a bit, but not too much.
She needed to secure enough performance results for the group and also wanted to gain a share for her family.
The price Bai Xiaosheng offered was simply too low, and he firmly held the bottom line, refusing to give in.
This made Caroline feel there was no necessity to continue the negotiation.
Caroline believed that if she were to "compromise and be flexible," first establishing cooperation with Bai Xiaosheng and hoping to raise stakes later, it would be impossible.
Firstly, there was an existing cooperation price to refer to; secondly, there was a lack of sufficient reason to raise the stakes later.
Since Bai Xiaosheng was not agreeing now, it was unlikely he would agree in the future.
