Collective Interests
Under the suggestive gaze of Yvonne, Claude had no choice but to open his mouth again.
“Mr. Collins, I was wrong this time. I… Apologize to you. I am really sorry for what I did before. Please.”
Claude felt like being trampled underfoot.
No matter how furious he was, he could only keep a tight lid on himself and behave well.
Jordy cast a cold look at Yvonne and said in a flat voice, “Well, I can only grant you a conditional
cooperation.”
Yvonne cut in gratefully, “Thank you so much, Mr. Collins. What conditions? You name it!”
Claude bowed his head slightly. He didn‘t want to say a word now.
Jordy, on the contrary, said calmly, “Firstly, Collins wants another 10% of your profits for the next year
temporarily. Secondly, Collins will only accept Gloria‘s plan and she herself has to be here for
implementation.”
?
Claude was a bit shocked.
Jordy‘s requirements were basically the same as what he said at the meeting before.
After all, the two companies had been partners for so many years. They did know something about the
other party‘s way of doing things.
?
But Jordy outweighed Claude in every way.He had reckoned how things would turn out after the
meeting and known the biggest compromise the Whites could make.
Claude was against the whole idea of having Gloria work with Collins Group, which was in her best
interest.
However, the Collins suffered great losses which could only be made up by Gloria‘s proposal. Besides,
Claude had become the target of attack in the Whites Group, and the only one who could save him was
Gloria.
Yvonne and Claude dared not expect too much now. Things had come to this and they had no choice
but to accept. Yvonne turned to Claude immediately and spoke nothing. She had no final say after all.
Claude took a deep breath and nodded in the end. “OK. Mr. Collins, it‘s our great honor to be your
partner again!”
Their partnership would last for one year temporarily, which had been discussed at the meeting earlier.
The Whites knew that this was the best deal they could get now. The Collins might have refused them
from the very beginning. It took the Whites a great effort to strive for this one–year partnership and they
would try their best to make Jordy relent and renew their agreement even longer.
