Chapter 547 Let’s Make a Bet
“I’m sorry. Mr. Barry said that she doesn’t want to meet people from the Universe Group come,” The receptionist said with a professional smile on her face.
Gerald frowned deeply.
He looked at Jolie. Jolie also shook his head blankly, not knowing what to do.
“If you have nothing else to say, please leave!” At this time, the receptionist said.
Gerald touched his nose and nodded. “Alright.”
Then he and Jolie walked towards the door. At the same time, he took out the document and looked at it. After reading it, he frowned and said, “I don’t seem to know much about these things.”
He really did not know much about business matters. He was only in charge of negotiations this
time.
Well, what he needed to do was to ask some friends for help.
Watchmen guarded this world. Similarly, people gave them a lot of feedback. Night Watch had lots of companies all over the world, and most of them were the leaders of the industries they were in. Here, Gerald also had many friends in the South.
He only knew that Universe Group had done a lot of work in advance, and the investment was quite large. Prosplin Group got the money and did not want to give this project to Universe Group.
Jolie said speechlessly, “There is a project of a tourist attraction here. Prosplin Group won the bit. At that time, Universe Group started their business in the South. So the two groups worked together on the project. The investment of the project is huge, and it should be worth billions of dollars. The current situation is that Prosplin Group becomes picky and finds some minor mistakes in the contract. They decided to stop cooperating with us. Universe Group has been working on the project. for several years.”
When Gerald heard this, his expression changed slightly. Then he said, “Does this mean that Prosplin Group wants to get all the investment?”
“Yes!” Jolie became excited as he added, “And it seems that there is more than that. There are other companies involved in this matter. Now, Prosplin Group wants to stop cooperation with us and
develop the project with other companies again.”
Gerald licked his lips and said, “Well, they’re cunning. Do you know the details of Prosplin Group?”
Jolie said, “Prosplin Group is also one of the top 500 companies in the country. In the South, it is one of the top companies. Its market value is about 25 billion dollars, which is about the same as the current Universe Group. But Prosplin Group works on a brick-and-mortar business, and it has gone public. Because of the suspension of the cooperation with Universe Group recently, the share
price of Universe Group dropped. But Prosplin Group’s share price has risen rapidly.”
As they were talking, the receptionist came over and said with a smile, “Sir, please don’t stand at the door of our company.”
Gerald turned his head and looked at the receptionist. He said, “What? Are we in your way?”
“Mr. Barry will not meet you,” Jolie said.
“Is that so?” Gerald touched his nose and added with a smile, “Miss, do you believe that in three minutes, Mr. Barry will get down here and beg me to go to his office?”
The receptionist was stunned for a moment, and then she said with disdain, “Really? Even Mr. Hanson of Universe Group can’t do it.”
“Fine. Then just wait.” Gerald smiled and added, “Let’s make a bet. In three minutes, your president will come down and beg me. If I am right, you need to kiss me.”
“Humph!” The receptionist said with disdain, “What if you fail?”
“Then I will kiss you,” Gerald said with a smile.
“Get lost!” The receptionist was speechless. “Leave here quickly! Otherwise, I will call the security guards over.”
Gerald smiled slightly. He took out his phone, found Claude’s number, and made a call.
