Since they were going to collaborate, Gerald was definitely going after the biggest project. After all, what was the point if he didn’t?
Hearing that, Zachariah then replied, “You’re in luck, Chairman Crawford. I currently have a very good project regarding the development and construction around Schywater City’s sea area.”
Finding what Zachariah said interesting, Gerald then asked, “Could you perhaps be talking about the development of the commercial area around the city’s sea area?”
Nodding in response, Zachariah smiled before replying, “That’s the one. I see you’ve heard about the project, Chairman Crawford!”
“I won’t deny that I’ve been keeping an eye on that place. Hmm… Why don’t we do it this way, Chairman Kershaw? For that particular area, I’m planning to have my group participate by occupying a great share and carrying out the construction with your group. With that said, I think it’s only fair that all the conditions and designs related to the construction should be handled by the Yonjour Group. What do you think?” asked Gerald after a slight pause.
Though he was momentarily startled to hear that, after snapping out of it, Zachariah immediately said, “Not a problem, Chairman Crawford. I already find it a great honor that you’re willing to cooperate with me in the first place! Regardless, I’ll be leaving everything to the Yonjour Group then!”
After recovering from his genuine shock earlier, Zachariah—for one—knew better than to negotiate any further with Gerald. After all, it would be bad if he somehow got on Gerald’s bad side and ended up losing the chance to cooperate.
In the world of business, knowing how and when to act was crucial. If one didn’t grab the opportunity when it appeared, failure would be the only option left…
It was at that moment when Natallie entered the room with Zacharia’s tea.
Now that the Yonjour Group was stepping in, however, Zachariah knew that their two groups would be more than enough to take on the project. Better yet, it also meant that the project would be exclusively owned by only the Yonjour and Zachariah Groups!
As for Gerald, a billion and five hundred million dollars was nothing to him…
Regardless, it was a little over an hour later when Natallie returned with a contract.
Handing it to Gerald, she then said, “I’ve drafted up the contract, Chairman Crawford. Do have a look at it.”
