Chapter 312 Strong Backing
The three of them entered the ground floor lobby, where they noticed a crowd gathered in thecosmetics section. The staff of Ozin Tower were in negotiations with representatives from OshiCosmetics.
"Ms Knight, you're here!" A tall woman in her forties, with striking features, an elegant figure, anddressed in professional attire, approached quickly. She was Thelma Perkins, the General Managerof the Shopping Mall Department at Ozin Tower.
"Ms Perkins, hello." Harleen nodded.
"Mr Gardner, you're here too!" Thelma Perkins paused slightly as she recognized Billy.
During the previous social event, she had been present and was aware that Ms Knight's husbandwas no ordinary person.
"Hello!" Billy smiled.
"Hello, Ms Knight." other Ozin Tower staff greeted Harleen.
Harleen nodded at the greetings before turning her attention to the other group.
At the forefront was a tall white man in his forties, standing nearly two meters tall. He wasaccompanied by two burly men in black suits. Next to him was a Glavalean man in his fifties,followed by four more staff members.novelbin
"Ms Knight, let me introduce you," Thelma Perkins said to Harleen. "This is Mr Peter, the MarketingDirector of Oshi Cosmetics, and this is Mr Matthews, the head of Oshi Cosmetics in Glavale."
She then turned to the two men. "Gentlemen, this is Ms Knight, the President of SunPark Group."
"Are you Ms Knight?" Peter asked in somewhat broken Glavalish.
His gaze roamed over Harleen, and there was a hint of male fervor deep in his eyes. On the otherside, Richard Matthews also looked at Harleen with an admiring expression.
"Mr Peter, you've traveled a long way, and I apologize for any inconvenience. What brings you toOzin this time?" Harleen inquired.
"Ms Knight, it's not very convenient to discuss matters here," Peter said. "I'm staying in thepresidential suite on the top floor of Ozin Tower. How about we go to my room and talk?"
"No need, let's discuss it here." Harleen said with a slight frown.
"If you aren't concerned about disrupting your mall's normal operations, I have no objections." Petersaid with a narrowed gaze. He then pointed to a nearby counter. "I came this time to request thatyour mall relocates our Oshi counter over there and doubles its size. I'd also like to discuss theentrance fee, I believe it's too high."
"I'm sorry, Mr Peter, but I'm afraid I have to disappoint you." Harleen responded calmly. "Firstly, thelocations for all the counters in the mall were determined during the leasing process, and we won'tmake adjustments without special circumstances. Moreover, if we were to move your counter there,it would likely lead to objections from other companies, and I hope you can understand that."
"Secondly, regarding the entrance fee, we've already signed a contract, and we can't make any mid-term adjustments."
"I suggest that you reconsider my request." Peter smiled.
"I'm sorry, but we can't accommodate these requests." Harleen reiterated.
"Ms Knight, have you considered the consequences of rejecting us?" Peter smiled again.
"If you insist, we can only terminate our cooperation, that'll be a pity." Harleen replied sternly.
She knew very well that the mall only brought in big brands. Making concessions this time could seta precedent, and other brands might follow suit.
"Ms Knight, you're truly a formidable woman! I admire your determination." Peter said. "However,you might not fully understand the background of our company, so you may underestimate theconsequences of this matter. If your company refuses our requests, I can guarantee that all theinternational top-tier brands in your mall will leave. In addition, if I'm willing, I can bankrupt SunParkGroup at any time."
"Hmm? Mr Peter, are you overestimating yourselves?"
"Ms Knight, I suggest you first learn about Oshi's background before we continue our discussion. Itwill save you from potential regrets." Richard Matthews said calmly.
"What do you mean?" Harleen asked.
"Ms Knight, I've just had someone look into it. Oshi Cosmetics is backed by the Gater family,"Thelma Perkins explained to Harleen. "the Gater family is a well-established international familywith assets worth over a trillion, and they hold significant influence globally."
Harleen's brow furrowed again. This news came as a significant shock to her. She had heard of theGater family before; their reputation was known far and wide. Compared to them, not only OzinTower but the entire SunPark Group would be insignificant. If they were determined to causetrouble, there was a real possibility that SunPark Group could be bankrupted.
On the sidelines, Billy, upon hearing this information, narrowed his eyes. He hadn't expected thesituation to take such an interesting turn. Oshi Cosmetics was apparently an industry under the
Gater family.
What a coincidence!
"I can also reveal a piece of information to you. The old patriarch of the Gater family is Mr Peter'scousin." Richard added.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the vicinity who knew about the Gater family couldn't help but gasp.No wonder the other party dared to make such bold statements; it turns out Peter was a member ofthe Gater family.
"Ms Knight, now, are you ready to consider my suggestion?" Peter smiled faintly, enjoying theshocked expressions on everyone's faces. After a brief pause, he continued, "Of course, theconditions I mentioned earlier are not set in stone. If you're willing to negotiate, we could go to myroom. I have a nice bottle of red wine, and we could discuss business while enjoying a drink. If bothparties have a pleasant discussion, I might be able to make some concessions."
His purpose in coming to Glavale was quite simple - he intended to visit various malls and findreasons to gain advantages from them. This was something he had experience with in othercountries. Upon arriving at Ozin Tower, he had similar intentions. However, upon seeing Harleen, hehad a different idea.
A beautiful woman was an opportunity he couldn't pass up, especially when he had leverage.
