Jacob glanced at the stack of documents, extracting two in particular. "Apex Innovation Enterprises and Axiom International Group have both struck preliminary deals with Strand Group. The letters of intent have been signed, and representatives from both sides will be sitting down to hammer out the details any day now."
"No way!" Sanderson exclaimed in disbelief, his eyes wide as he regarded Jacob. "You? You're nothing but a playboy!"
"Is that so?" Jacob, unfazed, leaned casually against the edge of the desk, arms folded across his chest as he looked at Sanderson. "Then why are they willing to work with me, a playboy, and not with you? I heard you were waiting at Apex Innovation for two days, and you didn't even get to see the CEO, let alone the director of the project department?"
Sanderson's face turned ashen, "Did you orchestrate this?"
"You flatter me too much. At that time, I was living like a wild man on the plains of East Africa." Jacob let out a cold chuckle. "Sanderson, no offense, but your actions, demeaning yourself like this and representing Strand Group in the process, it's embarrassing the company."
But Sanderson still couldn't believe it. He had been in the business for over thirty years, longer than Jacob had even been alive!d2
Apex Innovation Enterprises refusing to talk business with him, only to reach a preliminary agreement with Jacob within three days of his return. And Axiom International Group...
His eyes roved over the documents beside Jacob. There was so much more!
"I don't buy it! You could just be pulling out any old document to fool me!" Sanderson snatched the papers from Jacob's hands and started flipping through them.
The more he read, the colder his heart sank. The proposal from Apex Innovation was no trifling matter...
His own attempts to negotiate with Axiom International Group had been for a few tens of millions, and they hadn't even glanced at the project proposal.
But Jacob's deal was worth over eight hundred million.
"Why? How is this fair!" The blow to Sanderson's ego was substantial.
