Sylphie glanced at her grandpa. She watched him nod and shake his head before she spoke, “You sure are a smart man.
“You have no opponents here in Coreana’s market, nor has anyone here done anything to you. However, you added Sunrise Land into your negotiations, so I take it that you’ve encountered trouble over there?”
“That’s my issue to deal with. All Sentel needs to consider is if this contract is beneficial enough to you,” Jasper spoke indifferently.
Sylphie smiled and replied, “Thirty percent isn’t enough, I want at least fifty.”
“I thought that you were disinterested in the family business, Princess Sylphie. This does not look like disinterest to me,” Jasper commented.
Chuckling, Sylphie explained, “I’m still a member of the family. It’s only right I fight for the biggest benefits for my family.”
“You and I are well aware of the situation here, so let’s both take a step back,” Jasper spoke.
Sylphie looked at Kit again.
Kit, with his head full of white neatly combed, slowly picked up The Black Theory and nodded seamlessly.
“Deal.”
“Wonderful. My people will fly to Sela tomorrow.”
Hanging up the phone, Sylphie rested her chin on her palm and turned to her grandpa. “I thought you’d say no, Grandpa.”
“Why would I decline something that benefits the family?
“Be it the MP4 or the MP5, both of these products exist in small markets. It does not matter if we win or not.
“But those Sunrisers are too insolent. It would be unwise to let go of the chance to take revenge for what they’ve done back then. What that Somer descent, Jasper, has in mind does not concern us.”
Kit’s gaze fell on the book as the old man suddenly smiled, “We can invite him over for a meal should the opportunity arise in the future. If anything, he has a ruthless insight regarding things. He started with a reason we cannot reject, and that alone is worth commending.”
“Opportunity? What opportunity could possibly get a Somer descent to eat with us?” Sylphie asked casually.
“When he becomes the richest man in Somerland. Then he’ll have both the opportunity and the qualifications.”
…
The following day, Jasper sent Chad and Lance to sign the contract in Coreana, as well as welcomed Echo and Yona from Waterhoof City.
A black Benz arrived at the entrance of Southface River Tower and Echo alighted it with Yona in tow.
Echo’s expression darkened when he realized that the person welcoming him was not Jasper, but a man from the United States that was past his fifties.
Realizing the shift in his superior’s attitude, Yona stepped up to talk to Malcolm. “Where’s Jasper?”
Malcolm’s smile immediately faded when he heard Yona refer to Jasper by name without attaching any respectful titles, and he replied indifferently, “He’s a busy man. He’s waiting for you two upstairs now.”
“Is this how you treat your guests?” Yona scoffed and asked, “Is this how you welcome us noble Sunrisers?”
Malcolm glanced at Yona as if the latter was an idiot and replied, “Since when were Sunrisers interchangeable with nobility? And are you discriminating against Somer descents in Somerland?”
When he said this, Yona’s off-handed comment suddenly became one of great importance.
This would be a big issue if word got out.
As expected, Yona’s expression instantly changed.
