The relaxation of businesspeople, closing million-dollar deals in hot springs

Who says business negotiations have to be in a conference room? Soaking in the hot springs at Ligou River Hot Spring with clients while discussing cooperation, we surprisingly closed the deal easily. It turns out that "relaxation" is the secret to negotiation.

The client drove 3.5 hours from Chengdu, the road was smooth with no traffic, and there were over 100 parking spaces available. First, I took him to soak in the public hot springs. In the Tiffany blue water, the usually serious client started chatting about the driving route, and the tense atmosphere instantly relaxed.

We chose a business suite with a private hot spring. Soaking in the water while discussing the plan, he said, "This is much more comfortable than the office." Sure enough, the ideas became clearer, and the originally disputed terms were quickly agreed upon in the relaxed atmosphere.

The yak meat hot pot at noon became the "informal negotiation table." The local yak meat was stewed to perfection, and while drinking Tibetan coffee, the client said, "The place you chose shows great sincerity." It turns out business is not just about interests but also about sentiment.

In the afternoon, we played UTV long-distance rides together. While speeding across the meadow, the client's screams were louder than mine. When we reached the Gongga viewing platform, he suddenly said, "I'll sign this deal just for this view." Indeed, a good environment can foster good cooperation.

Business trips don't have to be tense. Find a place like Ligou River Hot Spring to relax your body and mind, and you might gain unexpected surprises.
