Seize the White Group
John Green, another shareholder, hesitated for a moment, looked at the crowd and said helplessly.
“Well… If Mr. Brown still insists, we can only let Gloria take the job. This is the only way. We can‘t give
up such a big profit, can we? And we can only cooperate with the Brown Group on this project.”
Lucille frowned disapprovingly, “Do we have to work with the Brown Group? The Collins Group can
also be our partner, right?” Claude froze for an instant and looked at Lucille. Lucille also looked at him
and said seriously, “Mr. White, we actually only care about our interests. Gloria obviously wants to
control our White Group. We can‘t let her, a young ignorant woman, decide our company‘s future.”
Claude nodded approvingly, “Yes, our White Group can‘t take any hardships, and we are making the
breakthrough. We can‘t make any mistakes.”
Lucille nodded again, “So, we don‘t have to cooperate with the Brown Group. Since they disagreed,
we can show our plan to the Collins Group.”
John hesitated and said, “But… will the Collins Group agree to invest in it?”
Lucille looked at him and said, “This is a very good plan, and we all think we can make a profit through
it. If we invest, we can also get more shares. The Collins Group doesn‘t need to be the only investor.”
She said this seriously, and other people suddenly felt that what she said made sense. Howard
hesitated for a moment and said, “But… the project is an investment of hundreds of billions of dollars.
We can‘t show our sincerity if we can‘t invest half of that sum in it. Even if we only invest 30% of it in
the project, it will also be a large sum of money. How can our company have so much fluid capital?”
The others fell silent again and did not know what to do.
After all… It was a huge investment. The atmosphere in the office seemed a little grave. Lucille
paused for a moment and then said, “How can we know if we don‘t try? Moreover, Mr. White, your
daughter and Mr. Collins will be engaged soon. If we close the deal, there will be two happy events.
What do you think?”
Claude froze for a moment and looked torn. Howard said, “Yes, if the Collins Group could invest in it
alone, we don‘t have to negotiate with the Brown Group again and again.”
John frowned and said after some deliberation, “But if we do that, we‘ll offend the Brown Group. Those
two groups are against each other.” Then everyone fell silent again, not knowing what to do. Lucille
said calmly, “It‘s not about offending anyone. Gloria is inexperienced. If she is in charge of the legal
work, I will have no disagreement. But we should be responsible for the cooperation, and we cooperate
for profits. Mr. Brown didn‘t agree with our arrangement, so we have to do this for our company‘s
interests and reputation.”
What she said made sense. The others did not refute it but seriously thought about it. Howard nodded,
“You are right.We can ask Mr. Collins about it privately without alerting Gloria. And I think… your
daughter can do that for us.” Then everyone looked at Claude.
