Chapter 682
When only the two of them were left in the room, Mackenzie asked
impassively, “Is there anything else, Mr. Wallace?”
“Yes,” Ignacio hurriedly said. “Ms. Quillen, as you can see, both of us are in the
hospitality business, and our previous collaboration went very well. It seems
that the Terence Group is short on money when investing in the energy
business as of late, so I’m wondering if you need some financing. I happen to
have some money sitting idle in the bank.”
I see what he’s up to now. Mackenzie finally realized the older man’s intention.
The apology was merely a pretense, and he was making use of the wedding
to approach her and talk about collaboration with her so that he could
venture into the energy business.
“Since you’re so sincere, I’d like to know how much money you’re going to
invest,” Mackenzie asked calmly.
After contending with the Lenoir family and the Verkade family, the Terence
Group had indeed suffered some losses. However, their foundation was solid.
Terence invested a total of 700 million into the business, forcing the Lenoir
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfamily out of the market and snatching all their market share back. Now, their
market share was even higher than before the contention.
As such, the Terence Group could either choose to get some financing to
strengthen its position in the market or stay put to take a conservative
approach.
“Ms. Quillen, my wealth is no match for your family, but I’m willing to invest
280 million.”
What? 280 million? Mackenzie was startled. She was tempted by the figure
Ignacio had come up with, and she was also surprised. It seemed that the
older man had earned a lot of money by managing his hospitality business
in Onza.
Although the Quillens were the wealthiest family in Yeringham, Chanaea was
a vast country. As such, there were even more powerful families than the
Quillens in the country. As the leader of the Quillen Group, she certainly
hoped to help the Quillen family reach a greater height.
“Mr. Wallace, what’s your condition, then?” Mackenzie quickly pulled herself
together and sported an impassive expression.
“Haha. If you’re interested in the collaboration, I’d like to go about it according
to the business norms. I hope that 280 million would be traded for your
company’s shares so that I’d have the right to be part of the Terence Group’s
board of directors.” Ignacio directly came up with his demand.
That’s quite reasonable. As a woman in power, Mackenzie wouldn’t readily
believe anyone. Her suspicion would be aroused if Ignacio’s demand was
easy to be fulfilled. However, if his demand was unreasonable, she would turn
him down outright. As such, the demand he had come up with was worth
some consideration.
“I got it, Mr. Wallace. I’ll discuss the matter with my grandpa.” Mackenzie didn’t
directly agree to the collaboration.
“Haha! I hope you’ll bring me some good news soon. Not only could we
collaborate in the hospitality business, but we can also advance together in
the energy market. I’m sure we’ll have a pleasant collaboration.”
Upon finishing his words, Ignacio was ready to give the woman a gift. It was
the dragon and phoenix white jade.
“I heard you’re a fan of Mr. Cline’s work, and you have a lover. As such, I’d like
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmto present this little gift to you and hope that you’ll be successful both in your
relationship and career.”
Then, he held out the gift for her with both hands.
A surprised Mackenzie replied with a smile, “I’m afraid I can’t accept such an
expensive gift, Mr. Wallace.”
She could tell that the gift was worth over 15 million.
“Haha. Ms. Quillen, I wouldn’t say it’s an expensive gift when the golden jade
phoenix you’re wearing is worth 30 million. In comparison, my gift looks
inferior. If you don’t accept this gift, I’ll be very embarrassed,” Ignacio said with
a smile.
Mackenzie stared at him for a moment before accepting the gift. “Thanks, Mr.
Wallace. Please send it to my office.”
“Haha, sure. This way please, Ms. Quillen.”
Ignacio was excited. Since the woman was willing to take his gift, it
suggested that he had secured the collaboration. It was every
businessman’s dream to collaborate with the Terence Group in the energy
business. He knew that he had seized the chance.
After leaving the presidential suite, Mackenzie decided to put the
collaboration aside first. She was more interested in finding out what
Emmanuel was doing.
Milani’s personality is terrible. I don’t want him to offer his blessings to her
anymore.
