At noon, Jack was about to leave the company to negotiate the contract at EnRich.
Suddenly, Corbin rushed into the office.
“Jack, it’s bad!”
Jack frowned as he took a sip of tea, “What’s up?”
EnRich’s president has come to our company,” said Corbin.
Poof!
Jack spurted out the tea as he was startled.
No wonder Corbin looked so nervous.
EnRich was the leading local construction materials supplier. It only had long-term cooperations with the top ten real estate companies.
DT real estate agency was merely nothing to EnRich.
Even if they had the West Shantytowns renovation project, they should be the one to visit EnRich to negotiate.
“Let’s go take a look.”
Jack got up, followed Corbin, and left the office.
In the meeting room, Josh frowned as he read the contract while his heart was bleeding.
His good plan was ruined because of the mutual benefits mentioned by Amber.
The housing prices at West Shantytowns are surging against the market. The top ten real estate companies had been so jealous.
And he knew that there was a huge premium there.
That was a huge cake and was destined to be taken only by EnRich.
That was why he kept putting off DT to gain as many profits as possible.
However, Amber was the boss’s only daughter and he could not argue with such a decision.
When Jack and Corbin walked into the meeting room, they saw Josh with a painful face.
Jack said with a calm smile, “Mr. Ellis has made a great visit. Sorry for not being well prepared to welcome you.”
“Mr. Hughes,” Josh smiled bitterly as he shook hands with Jack and said, “This time, DT real estate agency is really going to take off.”
Jack knew well the value of the renovation project of West Shantytowns.
He also knew that all the real estate industry bosses were extremely jealous of them.
He was not modest about such words and he smiled slightly.
Bump!
Josh put the offer contract on the table, “You can have a look. If there is no problem, let’s sign the contract.”
Jack was confused. Beside him, Corbin’s face changed.
Why did EnRich suddenly settle it?
Why would Mr. Ellis come here to sign a contract?
Jack picked up the contract in confusion and flipped through it.
After only reading through two pages, he was startled, “Mr. Ellis, are you sure that you have the right contract?”
“Aren’t there our names stated on it? How can it be wrong?” Josh raised his hand and rubbed his temples as if he got a little headache.
Jack quickly scanned through the contract while he frowned heavily.
He really didn’t know what had gone wrong!
All the material quotations were thirty percent lower than before. Even the payment method had been changed to quarterly from monthly.
The quarterly settlement was only applied to those powerful companies.
This offer contract was like a free lunch for him and DT.
Even he felt his heart beating violently.
After quickly reading through the contract, Jack handled it to Corbin.
Corbin flipped through a page and exclaimed, “What the hell!”
His face turned pale. He hurriedly apologized to Jack and Josh.
Then Corbin looked down at the contract again. The more he read, the more shocked he became. His face changed repeatedly.
“Stop reading it. I feel painful about the contract,” Josh said helplessly.
“Corbin, take a pen,” Jack said with a smile.
The contract was quickly signed.
After shaking hands, Josh said, “By the way, now I am the deputy general manager of EnRich. You have to thank the new president for this contract.”
Jack was bewildered and sent Josh away from the company.
Corbin was holding back his excitement as he said, “Jack, EnRich has changed their attitude towards us. Do you think the new president is stupid?”
Jack couldn’t help laughing. Even he shared the same thought.
The price was reduced by thirty percent and the settlement was changed to quarterly.
This was like a charity to the poor DT!
“Do your job now. Josh had led EnRich for so many years. The new president must have his strength and capabilities to let him down to the deputy general manager. We should always remember this favor he does for us.”
