The Spoiled Girl - Chapter 1580 Seize The Initiative

Then, holding a glass of wine, he went straight into Darren’s private room.

Inside the room, Herman was eating and drinking with Darren. He was surprised when the door opened and a stranger walked in. His gaze turned from the door to Darren, and he saw his gloomy face. He asked, “Darren, who is this?”

The newcomer looked familiar, but Herman couldn’t remember his name.

“Mr. Su, nice to see you! I’m Jacob Gu, the president of the HT Group.” He raised his glass towards Darren. “Mr. Xu and I are old friends,” Jacob said, looking at Darren contemptuously, almost as if challenging him.

As soon as Herman heard the name of the company, he stood up immediately. He remembered that this was the president of the HT Group, Jacob, who had appeared in the newspapers countless times.

“Oh, it’s Mr. Gu! I’ve heard a lot about you. Nice to meet you!” With a wrinkled smile on his face, Herman said to Jacob, “Come on, Mr. Gu. Since you are an old friend of Mr. Xu, come and sit. Let’s eat together!”

Herman made it all about Jacob, while Darren remained calm.

Darren kept to himself and didn’t say anything. The war between the KING Group and the HT Group had already been reported to the media. The food poisoning issue had also caused quite a ruckus in the city, so it was impossible for Herman to not know about it. It was obvious that Herman was trying to cotton up to Jacob, flattering him while he had a chance.

Darren, on the other hand, didn’t want to show emotions around Jacob. The three of them sat and ate at the same table, which soon turned the atmosphere a little weird.

“To be honest, I’ve heard a lot of good things about you, Herman,” Jacob said. He had already made full preparations in case this moment happened. He had especially checked Herman’s information, so now, he praised him sincerely. Finally, he said, “Since Mr. Xu believes in you, I think that you must be trustworthy.”

The implication in his statement was self-evident. He had just suggested that the HT Group also wanted to acquire Herman’s abilities.

Herman understood immediately what Jacob was saying. Slowly, he took a look at Darren and said awkwardly, “T-Thank you for your trust, Mr. Gu. But what kind of order do you plan to place? We do have several more production lines.”

Darren, who was lifting his wine glass to his mouth to drink, stopped midway. He sneered and changed the subject all of a sudden. “Mr. Gu, do you like the food? It seemed like you really spared no effort in chewing and swallowing down the rest of my food. Ah, I’m sorry for my lack of class. I don’t know if I used the correct words. I hope you don’t mind.”

His words implied that J

er. “I will give you the unit price with full sincerity, because I want to get your support. After all, Herman, the professionalism of your factory is unparalleled in this city.”

Seeing the number, Herman’s eyes lit up. It was a generous offer.

But there was still some hesitation in his heart. After all, the profit of such a product was almost zero for Jacob. If there was any loss, Herman would have to bear some part of it.

Seeming to see through his worries, Jacob continued, “Herman, you don’t have to worry. I also want to make this product more mysterious. I want to succeed in this. So I’m thinking of taking over the exclusive use right of your factory. You can only serve the HT Group within a certain period of time. That is to say, the HT Group is going to buy off your production line on the unit price. What do you think?”

In other words, Herman didn’t need to wait for clients to come to his factory, because even if there was no order, the factory would still get a very considerable amount of income. Not to mention the production cost. Herman contemplated over the idea and thought about the pros and cons.

Then, Jacob took out a file of data report for the pre-sale. Herman went through the file. The formal production hadn’t started yet, but the number of orders placed was unimaginable. In other words, he could start production as soon as he went back.

Stable interests were the most important factor in the business deal. After seeing everything, Herman immediately agreed. He said, “It seems that you are ready to make a big deal. I will certainly do my best to help you!” He added, “This line of products will surely be popular!”

Then, he signed the contract with Jacob and shook his hand as they closed the deal. As for Darren, they were still only negotiating verbally. So, if Herman asked his subordinates to inform Darren about the result of this meeting, Darren would have no reason to argue.
