Chapter 1595
Sean had also brought three assistants with him, all of whom were foreigners and experts in thebusiness field.
Then, everyone took their seats.
Sean took the initiative to come to us, seemingly with great sincerity. As soon as he sat down, hespoke, "Mr. Roberts, about the proposal your company suggested... After the financing of GWGroup, our company can only get 15% of the Roberts Group shares. We had further discussionsand decided on 17% instead. That's our last offer. If there's no problem, let's sign the contracttoday."
As Sean spoke, the assistant closest to him stood up and placed the contract in front of Hendrix.novelbin
About the financing of GW Group, Hendrix had probably postponed it until now since the yearbefore. Sean and his assistant had been staying in the country for nearly half a month. It wasunderstandable that Sean was anxious to settle the matter and return to his country.
I had looked through the documents and saw that the initial condition was 20% of the RobertsGroup's shares. Hendrix insisted on lowering the shares for the GW Group, and Sean showed hissincerity by making a huge step back. Businessmen would never carry out business at a loss.Regardless, GW Group had other benefits too, so there was nothing for us to be grateful for.
Hearing that, Hendrix exchanged a look with me. Then he reached out his hand and pushed thecontract back to Sean's side, saying calmly, "We would like to apologize, Mr. Sean. I ask for yourunderstanding that the general situation in the country isn't that smooth- sailing for Roberts Group.We have other plans, so I'm afraid that the financing needs to be postponed."
As soon as Hendrix finished speaking, Sean's initial cheerful expression immediately changed. Hemanaged to hold it in and forced a stiff smile, saying, "Are you kidding me, Mr. Roberts?"
Compared to Sean's huge parent company, Roberts Group could only be considered a smallcompany. GW Group personally went that far from abroad to settle the matter in Zuckerburg. It wasdifficult enough for them to lower their pride, and they had even given in a lot while negotiating. Butright then, Roberts Group was rejecting their offer. Anyone would be furious in such a situation.
Offending GW Group was not a good thing. Looking at Sean's face, I couldn't help but worry forHendrix. Rejecting their offer like that meant that Roberts Group would probably have a new enemyin the future.
At that moment, Hendrix suddenly his chair around and leaned against me. He wrapped his armsaround my shoulder, embracing me as he gently placed his other hand on my belly. With a hopefullook in his eyes, he said, "I'm not joking. Mr. Sean. I believe you've done your research about me.Surely you know my wife miscarried twice. It's not easy for us to have this child, so I don't want anyaccidents to happen. Therefore, I won't take any risks in business before my child is born, and untilthe child is one year old."
I was confused and thought to myself, "I'm pregnant? Why do I not know it?"
Hendrix glanced at me affectionately and turned to Sean. He asked with a serious expression, "Towant to become parents is the nature of mankind. I believe that Mr. Sean and the directors of GWGroup can understand my feelings, right?"
Hendrix's tone was not aggressive, but every word was so forceful and powerful. Sean wasspeechless and didn't know how to retort. He sat in the chair with a frown, and his expression wasindeed unpleasant.
Noticing that Sean was in a dilemma, Hendrix immediately withdrew his gaze. He looked down atmy belly and stroked it carefully as he said softly, "Mr. Sean, if you're afraid that it'll be hard toexplain to your superiors when you go back, I can sign another agreement with you. In the future, if
Roberts Group starts its own international financing, we'll first consider GW Group. What do youthink?"
