chapter 8 Bidding quota

After hanging up the phone, Lily was a little curious.
"Dennis, who called you?"
Dennis replied, "My junior called."
"Oh." Lily was just asking casually. If she knew that the person who called Dennis was Hugh, her jaw would drop in shock.
Soon, the two arrived at the Clarkson residence. At this time, Richard was already waiting at home. Seeing Dennis again, Richard seemed very excited.
He patted Dennis on the shoulder and spoke for a long time.
"Good boy, you've grown up!"
Richard hadn't seen him for ten years, and when the son of his old friend returned, he couldn't help but feel emotional.
The Buchanan was so powerful back then, but only Dennis was left now.
Richard prepared some food and wine, and the three sat at the table, chatting about the past while eating.
Seeing Richard seem preoccupied, Lily asked, "Dad, is Grandpa not in good condition?"
Richard nodded and responded, "Dennis's medical skills are excellent. Your grandfather is fine. As long as he rests, he will be discharged in a few days."
"There are some troubles in business."
"What happened to the business?"
Richard sighed and answered, "I just got the news that the Zark family will start a new company called ACE Group. This large company has been in preparation for nearly five years and has an initial capital of 5 billion. It is mainly engaged in the pharmaceutical industry."
Lily raised her eyebrows and became interested. "That is an opportunity for us. The new company must have many projects to invite bids for. We should strive for it."
Richard frowned and said, "This is what I'm worried about. Just now, Ben called me and told me that Clarkson Pharmaceutical would also participate in the bidding this time. Let me not be overwhelmed and not compete with him."
Lily slapped the table angrily. "He can't have anything his way! How can he control our business affairs?"
"Why can't I take care of your business?"
Ben's voice came from outside while Lily was speaking.
Ben was arrogant, looking smug.
"Lily, let me tell you clearly that this time, Clarkson Pharmaceutical will win the bid for all the medical projects of ACE Group. No matter the brand or the size of the group, you are incomparable, so don't waste your efforts and resources. Okay?"
"Besides, I just heard something that made me very angry..."
So, Ben pointed at Dennis and continued, "Do you know that he went to make a big fuss in the Harris today and brought blood to splash on Cole's head? After causing such a catastrophe, how dare you still associate with him?"
The Harris family was Dennis's mother's natal family.
It stood to reason that Harris would inevitably be implicated if Buchanan lost power.
However, Harris judged the situation and made a decisive decision. After the Buchanan was wiped out, they directly cut off the connection between the two families and even got rid of them all.
In this way, the Harris family expressed their heartfelt gratitude to the three prominent families.
Dennis was so reckless that he offended one of the Harris family. If one got close to him, there must be no good end!
Lily was very surprised. "Dennis, did you make trouble at the Harris residence?"
Dennis sat on the chair with an indifferent expression on his face.
"It's only the Harris family. Why are you scared?"
Ben's face darkened, and he sneered, "How shameless you are at such a young age. Look at you! If you didn't rely on my relationship with the Clarkson family, do you think the Harris family would let you go?"
He continued, "You can't deal with the Harris alone, let alone the forces behind him!"
Then, Ben added, "Lily, let me tell you, you should have less contact with him at this juncture. The family business is the most important thing. We must do our best to prepare for the bidding."
"Two days later, at the opening ceremony of ACE Group, the Clarkson family has received a total of two places, so you don't want to go. Kyle and I will go."
Lily face suddenly changed. "Why? There are two places for the Clarkson family. You have a seat, and my father should have one, too! Why should both of you go?"
Lily's company was small in size. If she was not allowed to participate in the on-site bidding at the opening ceremony, wouldn't it be that there is no chance at all?
For such a large group to open, whether they can win the bidding project will almost determine the development of their company in the next five years.
Ben loved to deceive others!
Ben snorted coldly, "Our father and my son will go. On behalf of the Clarkson family, Kyle and I represent the Clarkson Pharmaceutical."
"Your family? Who can you represent?"
"You..." Lily turned pale with anger. Grandpa fell ill, and they bullied her!
When Dennis heard this, he sneered, "Lily, don't worry. You and I will go in two days."
After Dennis finished speaking, everyone was stunned.
Who was Dennis?
Ben sneered and said, "Who do you think you are? The Zark family owns the ACE Group. Ordinary people are not qualified to be present. Who do you think you are? Do you still think you are the young master of the Buchanan? It took a lot of effort to get two places. Can you get in? Are you kidding me?"
Felicia Clarkson also said, "Lily, you can't trust him. ACE Group opening ceremony, with so many wealthy families present, what will people think if they see you with him? It doesn't matter if you need clarification. The main thing is not to implicate the Clarkson family! "
Everyone in the Clarkson family was very angry as if Dennis would implicate them.
Ben said, "Felicia, you don't have to worry, they won't be able to enter the venue, and they won't meet those rich men. They're just here to show off their skills, haha."
After speaking, Ben and the others dispersed, leaving only Dennis, Lily, and Richard.
Lily clenched her fists, "Richard, you're playing tricks!"
Richard's face was also extremely gloomy, "Lily, does your company have any business relationship with Zark Group? Or should we discuss it with Zark Group in private?"
Lily shook her head, "How influential is Zark Group? How can it be possible to interview us?"
The two sighed, worried because of this invitation quota.
Dennis said, "Lily, Richard, as I said, don't worry about the quota. I will take you there."
Richard and Lily looked at each other with strange expressions on their faces. They met the young gentleman of the Buchanan ten years ago. Did he learn how to lie in these years?
...
It will be an important day for the Donghae City business community two days later.
Soon, it was the opening ceremony of ACE Group.
ACE Group was an enterprise with an initial capital injection of 5 billion, and it was Hugh and the Zark Group's painstaking effort for five years.
Once the group was established, it would affect the economy of the entire Donghae City and even the entire Handong Province.
All the big and small family businesses in Donghae City want to come to get a share of the pie. If they could achieve this project, they would have nothing to worry about for the next five years.
However, with so much competition, it was challenging to stand out.
