Lovely Baby Came to Me novel Chapter 33

At 10:00am, the general manager Monty as well as some management, were standing at the gate of Excellent Company’s office to welcome the on-site team from Gardner Group.

All the management level of Excellent Company paid attention to the chance of acquisition; they were well-dress today to wait for the team.

Soon, four to five Audi cars were arriving in high speed and stopped at the gate.

Monty went to open the door of the first car with great respect.

The first one who got out of the car was the representative of Gardner Group, Robbie Gardner.

He was in a suit of stripe and a pair of extremely clean shoes, tall and handsome; he looked gentle and high-class, much outstanding among the folk.

The one following him was his fiancée Agnes.

She was well-dressed in luxurious brands and wore elegant make-up, appearing as an arrogant peacock.

But she would become lovely and warm as soon as looking at Robbie.

The other team members got off in succession to stand behind Robbie and Agnes.

Monty extended his hand to talk respectfully, “Mr. Gardner, welcome your team. I prepared some drink for you. This way, please.”

Robbie shook hand with Monty and smiled, “Thank you so much. We will be a family from tomorrow. Please kindly help us in the future.”

Monty was happy to hear it, “Sure, I will. That is my work. Come in please.”

He led the team to the office.

They were in the CEO office soon.

Gardner Group could not allow any loss of this chance, so its best negotiators were here now.

Monty invited the team to have a seat and served welcome drink, then started the topic.

Gardner Group was a top business group which certainly sent a top team for the acquisition. Excellent Company also intended to sell. Gardner Group took little time to count all the assets, annual income, annual profit, resources and value, including whether holding liability.

After all the work, the chief representative of negotiation said, “Excellent Company has been established for three years. In the first year, it lost; in the second and third years, it just broke even; in the fourth and fifth years, it started to earn profit of thirty million dollars per year. In the sixth year, the profit was only twenty million dollars due to more competition. In this year, namely the seventh year, it came to a peak, especially after doing business with Rogers Group, being tripled valued. If we talk about the development and profitability, Excellent Company is still potential to earn more profit in short time; but considering the incompetent staff, we are afraid it will not earn so much from the second half of next year. To conclude, we suggest the buying price is …”

Then, he showed his two fingers to give everyone here an answer about the value.

Two hundred million dollars!

Monty frowned with the price.

Although Excellent Company had a hard time in the first years of establishment, it had a good fame and well-known in the industry. All of these had been invested plenty of money.

Even it had not been a listed company, the buying price was too low.

“Mr. Gardner, my boss will not satisfy the price. He said we should sell at...” Monty showed five fingers to say.

At the beginning, Robbie listened to the talk without saying anything. But now, he laughed and said, “Monty, you know it’s too tough. We quoted with the overall evaluation of your company; I still think it’s overestimated. But your price is too much to meet the budget. We will not agree; neither company will agree on your price. So, please make it fair.”

The team also said, “Mr. Clark, please get to be realistic.”

All the team were greatly professional who started to talk about details of Excellent Company’s weak points. They were good at negotiation; after a couple of rounds, Monty was unable to negotiate with them anymore.
