Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle novel Chapter 435

Chapter 435 That Is How Luke the Businessman Seeks His Revenge

The urban reconstruction project involved funds of over a hundred billion dollars. The reason behind T Corporation and Vivi Group's collaboration was not only because of the astronomical sum of money involved, but also because it was impossible for a single corporation to gain sole development rights over the entire area.

In an attempt to regulate the economy, the local government did not want to give the entire pie to one corporation, even if the company could do so.

Even a single percentage point of profits from this project was a huge sum of money. Vivi Group was not going to go down without a fight.

The two parties were caught in a stalemate. All of Vivi Group’s higher management was furious.

They were planning to fight tooth and nail for one or two percentage points. Now that Luke wanted a whole ten percentage points, they were definitely angry.

After all, all civilities were already off the table. There was no point in courtesies, and therefore the boards of directors from Vivi Group were acting arrogantly.

They insisted on Quinton's proposal.

In fact, some of them even proposed to reduce T Corporation's share by several percentage points, and they were not going to yield.

They did so because they were sure that T Corporation would not be able to win the development rights of the entire area. Moreover, their financial resources were equally as strong as T Corporation.

The higher management of T Corporation were confused. They did not know what their CEO was doing.

Several elderly shareholders of T Corporation were visibly displeased. Even though Luke was fighting for their benefit, they thought that the young CEO had been too arrogant.

In the board of directors meeting yesterday, they had agreed upon splitting the profits 50-50 with Vivi Group. In fact, they were even ready to yield several percentage points so that the collaboration could happen.

They were ecstatic when Quinton had offered T Corporation five percentage points. That was a bonus on top of the successful collaboration. They did not expect that Luke would make such a counteroffer.

The ensuing negotiations were fiercely intense. Neither side was willing to yield.

As time passed, the higher management of Vivi Group began to lose their cool.

Meanwhile, Luke remained seated calmly.

Eventually, even the usually stoic Quinton was beginning to become nervous.

He was quite impressed with Luke’s performance.

The first time they met was ten years ago, in a business negotiation.

Luke was a lot younger back then. He might have the drive and the shrewdness, but he was lacking experience.

Even so, it was already very difficult to deal with Luke.

Quinton had predicted that the extraordinary young man would one day lead the economic scene of A City.

He did not expect that his predictions came true.

Luke smiled gently and tapped Louis's shoulder. "Don't worry. Even if the negotiations fail, I am still confident of winning the development rights," he whispered.

Louis had many things to say in reply to that, but when he saw how confident his elder brother looked, his trust in him grew.

Luke never did anything that he did not have confidence in, and he would never pick fights he was not confident of winning. If Luke said that he could do it, then he must be able to do it!

"I can't possibly agree to your proposal, Mr. Crawford. How about this.

Seven points. That's as far as I'm willing to go. If you can agree to it, we'll sign the agreement. Otherwise, we'll have to call it off." Quinton took a drag of his cigarette. Amid the smoke, one could see his anxiety.

Luke took a drag from his cigarette.

He gracefully tapped the cigarette on the ashtray, and his gaze looked past the crowd and fell on Bianca.

His penetrating gaze became gentle when he saw her worried expression.

When he looked at Quinton once more, his gaze became cold.

Even though Quinton's tone of voice was threatening, Luke remained nonchalant. 'No, I want ten points, or else. Mr. Lamarr, I can tell you that we don't necessarily have to collaborate with Vivi Group. Percy Mallory of Mallory Corporation, Jim Holston of Holston Corporation, and even Eugene Hawking of JK Media have personally told me that they would gladly join in any of T Corporation's projects. I prioritized Vivi Group because you have a talented design team, just like us... If you're not willing to cooperate with us, Mr. Lamarr, then there's nothing more I can say."

Luke glared at Quinton coldly. He had never raised his voice against Bianca, and he was furious when the chairman of Vivi Group had reprimanded his woman in public!

What better way to take revenge on Quinton than hurting him financially?
