Reborn Without You (Amelia and Christopher) novel Chapter 238

Chapter 238

On the negotiation table, the interests of all parties were key.

Christopher was a master at negotiation. He sounded like he was posing a question, but every word he uttered was a bid to steer the conversation.

“True, you

have to be competent and capable to be the project lead,” Luke chimed in with a smile. “We can’t just take your word for it, right?”

He couldn’t hide the disdain in his eyes as he looked on at the scene before him, as though he was awaiting the punchline.

What right did Amelia have to snatch the project from Nicole?

Amelia’s eyes narrowed.

Mr. Johnson said it himself that Infotech was the largest investor and had the ultimate decision right.

They had signed the contract with Infotech. Nova Nine could be involved in the execution of the project, but without Infotech, they didn’t have the capital to realize the project. That would mean the breakdown of the entire partnership.

Amelia fell silent.

Everyone in the meeting room fell silent as well.

Under the tension, people started exchanging glances.

Amelia forced a smile on her face and looked straight into Christopher’s deep, dark eyes. “So what do you want, Mr. Zephyr?”

“If you want to lead the project, that’s fine by me,” he said, looking at them. His voice remained calm yet imposing. “But let’s sign a bet-on agreement to make me believe that you and your team can do it.”

Amelia’s breath caught in her throat.

Even Jasper’s face turned dark.

They had to agree to his terms if they wanted to lead the project.

They were wielding the scepter in silence while negotiating for their respective interests through words.

Christopher’s superior negotiation skills were clear for all to see.

Amelia clenched her fists in silence.

Nicole glanced at her and said, “Well? Ms. Sinclair, if you’re confident about your project, you should agree the bet-on agreement no matter the terms.

“Are you hesitant because you’re worried you’re not that capable after all?

“Working with us isn’t that bad an option. Megatech has just been established, and it’ll certainly do a good job leading the project. Credit belongs to everyone at the end of the day, after all.”

They were just short of one well-done project to be listed on the market.

Nova Nine had to either give up on leading the project or sign the bet-on agreement.

“We can give up on working with them. With the quality of our proposal, it’s only a matter of time before we find another partner,” Jasper said in hushed tones.

However, Amelia knew clearly that there was a deadline for the government tender.

They had no choice but to work with Infotech. Without Infotech, there was no other company in Northon with the capital to finance such a large-scale project.

Trying to find another way would only prove tougher.

Their team had worked so hard for this government tender. She didn’t want all their hard work to go down the drain.

Amelia clenched her fists. “Of course, I’m confident about our project. What are the terms of the bet-on agreement?”

Nicole and Luke looked shocked at Amelia’s announcement.

They couldn’t believe she dared to bet.

How could she have the guts to sign the bet-on agreement? Had she lost her mind?

“As the project lead, Nova Nine has to achieve a profit of five billion. If it does, Infotech shall invest one billion per year in Nova Nine for the next five years. Failure, and Nova Nine will transfer 50% of its shares to Infotech,” Christopher said blandly.

This project was expected to earn about 2.5 billion in pure profits.

Since Amelia talked about doubling returns, that made it 5 billion.

That was a fortune for Nova Nine.

Capital was the one thing Nova Nine lacked the most, and they were constantly on the search for financing options. They were always one step away from being listed.

But if Nova Nine failed, they would lose 50% of shares, and Infotech would become their controlling company.

The stakes were high in the bet-on agreement.

Nicole and Luke looked at Amelia.

No one in this industry would dare to sign a bet-on agreement like this.
