Chapter 439 Poaching Clients
The information was more extensive than I expected. It even got me suspecting that Nicholas got it from an insider. No matter how influential the man is, I don’t think he’s capable of getting his hands on this much information.
Nicholas refused to answer me when I asked him, so I stopped pestering him about it. After all, my goal was to destroy Michael’s company; that was all that mattered then.
After handpicking several clients near the end of their contracts with Michael, I decided to visit them personally because I was confident that I could poach them.
Still, I knew I had to put in extra effort since I learned how careful of a businessman Michael was after the Red Star incident.
Then, I started going through the documents, and before I knew it, it was already past midnight. I was so exhausted by the end of it that my shoulders ached.
When I stayed with the Shaw family, I did not even have to lift a finger to get whatever I wanted. However, compared to that, my present life was much more meaningful.
After quickly fixing up something simple to fill my belly, I went back to bed. My mind was filled with so many ideas that I could barely wait for the next morning to arrive. I was more than ready to approach Michael’s clients.
When the following day finally arrived, I quickly jumped out of bed to get dressed. Time was of the essence, and I could not afford to waste even a minute.
After breakfast, I decided to start with a home appliance company that had only worked with Michael for two years. Besides the fact that they were not a long-term client of his, their contract with his company was coming to an end soon, so I thought they would make an easier target.
It did not take long for me to find the client’s phone number from the information on hand. After introducing myself to the manager and stating my intention over the phone, I was relieved when he agreed to meet me. Since the manager has decided to see me, it must mean that he’s willing to give me a chance.
It was a weekend, so most people were taking the time to relax after a week of grinding.
I arranged to meet the manager at a high-end café because I wanted him to know how sincere I was in talking business. The particular establishment was quite popular in Avenport, so it was not easy to get seats there. I initially intended to meet with Chris of Red Star at the same venue, but I never expected he would outright turn me down. Fortunately, I was able to make good use of the sought-after seats I reserved at the café.
However, after waiting for quite a while, I began to worry if the manager had decided to stand me up. He promised over the phone to see me. Has he changed his mind?
Just when I was about to give the manager a call, I saw a man in a suit enter the café. Immediately, I had a feeling that the man was the one I was waiting for, and sure enough, he started walking in my direction.
The manager then sat himself right across from me, so I had a good look at his face. He seemed to be in his thirties and had a polite demeanor.
