Hi friends,
Please could I request your guidance at this time.
Long story short, there's a company I met with last year at their office. If I could help them raise investment they would offer me a % of that investment.
I came to learn yesterday that the % is not high enough for me, I had thought mistakingly that the sum would be much higher.
I asked one of the partners if they could give me a higher %, they said no but also that they would think about it.
I know very well I can get them the investment they need, and I also know that the people they had tried to get to help them that accepted those % terms offered to me were not successful. I feel strongly they never will be successful.
The business which is a startup just lacks the useful connections they need.
I consulted the Yi just before to enquire "how should i approach the negotiation?"
I am convinced I can get them the result they're after, I just want a percentage increase of at least 2 points.
3 would be perfect. So essentially my underlying question is, can I get more 'money' from them?
The Yi answer is 45.5.6 to 35
My thoughts:
The primary hex of gathering nicely portrarys our initial meeting, gathering around a table with enthusiasm etc.
Line 5 suggests to me how I had to earn their encouragement to trust me with this task. I think though, the trust may not be that high or it dimished a bit. I think because so much time has passed and that I am currently overseas, they have forgotten a little about my credentials.
Line 6 however paints a negative picture of sadness. Perhaps I should drop the idea of trying to get a % increase?
The secondary hex - 35, suggests success though.
"Wu: Advancement indicates that the prince who has secured peace and prosperity of the state is conferred with many fine horses. The king grants him an audience three times in one day."
Thank you so much for your attention!
