Chapter 1570
Hendrix raised his head to glance at me, and then continued eating slowly while explaining, "TheRoberts Group has managed to build up its reputation in our country, and international expansion isa must for the group. The group has not explored the construction market here, and this time they'dtaken the initiative to come to foster the relationship with us, they may have the intention ofacquiring us."
I'd just said it casually, but I hadn't expected it to happen. Seeing that serious expression on hisface, I was at a loss for words at the moment. I put the file back into its original place reluctantly.novelbin
Once a business had become a publicly listed company, building a good rapport with an investorwas inevitable to achieve international expansion. For those companies whose foundation was notstrong enough, they might have ended up selling their companies and leaving the industry afterreceiving the money. All the technological resources would be handed over to those investors. Evenbefore they'd managed to enter the international market, they would have lost their hands.
People were willing to die for money. Capitalists took advantage of this to plunder technicalresources to expand their businesses, and at the same time restricting the development of domesticenterprises. On one hand, they could get rid of potential competitors. On the other hand, they couldimprove their capacity to achieve economic leadership.
Obviously, Hendrix wouldn't betray Roberts Group, not just because the Roberts Group was hisfamily business, but more importantly, because of his personal ambition.
Valeria and Freya had mentioned many times that Hendrix was not an ordinary person. One day,the Roberts Groups would become internationally well-known under his leadership. In merely fiveyears, he had managed to move the company headquarters to Jarold City. There was also somelong-term development in his business planning.
There was no end when it came to a man's pursuit in his business. The greater the capability, thefarther the scope of vision.
Of course, as Hendrix said, when the company reached a certain scale, even if it did not innovate,there would also be countless uninvited client companies approaching them for collaboration. TheGW Group was the best example. At that time, in order to enter the market here, they had humbledthemselves in front of Roberts Group.
They had tried to offer capital to the Roberts Group, trying to take advantage of the Roberts Group'sstrong foundation here. The Roberts Group would be their first target to acquire.
There were risks in doing business. That was why Hendrix was so serious when it came tofinancing.
I felt that he had been too nervous about it. After a moment of silence, I changed the topic andlooked towards the door. "Hasn't the project in Oakland finished yet?" I asked.
From my side, I could see Estella's working table. When I spoke, I could see that she was busy withher work. She kept standing up and sitting back down again after a while. I could observeeverything she did clearly.
"Is it how Hendrix and Estella usually work?" I thought to myself.
After being in the workplace for a long time, I had more or less some understanding of the mattersbetween secretaries and supervisors. The tricks those pretty secretaries played were comparable tolustful supervisors who would take advantage of them. In that case, who was the one who'd takenthe initiative to arrange for Estella and Hendrix to work together?
As I took a closer look, Estella was not stunningly pretty. She looked very obedient when she wasfocusing on her work. All in all, she was someone who was very comfortable to get along with.
Vincent, the boy I'd bumped into at the mall, was actually well-matched with her. Was it because ofHendrix that she kept rejecting him?
Thinking of this, I turned to Hendrix and started scrutinizing him.
Hendrix did not notice anything unusual. He sat on the sofa, with his slender, bony fingers, andthere was no expression on his face. He said indifferently, "Evan reported on the video conferencein the afternoon, saying that they ran into some trouble. He still needs a bit more time beforeeverything can get settled."
