Chapter 33 They Were Courting Death Now!

It was 10 am, E.C company. Eric and a group of senior executives were standing at the gate to wait for White group. They who cared much about this acquisition, wore suits and ties and looked very serious . Soon, there were four or five Audi cars coming from afar. Eric walked towards the cars immediately. He hastened to open the door of the first car respectfully. Joseph, the representative of the White group, got off. He was handsome and tall and wore the striped suit. His shoes were polished with oil. This man was charming and elegant. His fiancee, Freya, followed him. She had a delicate make-up and looked arrogant. But when she looked at Joseph, she became gentle and clever. The people in the rest of the cars got off as well and stood behind them. Eric reached out his hand and said respectfully, "Mr. White, welcome. I've prepared good tea and wine." Joseph shook hands with him and smiled, "that’s so kind of you. After today, we are in the same group." Eric was so excited."Well, please come in." Then, he led the road for them. They arrived at the general manager's office quickly. The White group wanted to make it, so they found the members who were good at negotiating. Eric invited them to take their seats. After the good tea and wine were served, they began to discuss. The team of the White group was top-notch. They quickly counted E.C company's current total assets, annual turnover, net profit, various resources, market value and the debt conditions. After that, the chief negotiator said directly: " During the first year, E.C company is basically in debt. And during the second year and the third year it doesn’t make profits. An then it earns 30 million dollars in the next two years. In the sixth year, because of the strong market competition, the annual profit is only 20 million. And this year is the peak state. Especially after the cooperation with Jones group, the value of the company has doubled. From the perspective of long-term development and future observability, E.C company still has room to become better. However, due to the unprofessional team, it will fall back in the second half of next year. Therefore, we suggest that the price is this! " The negotiator showed two fingers. 200 million! Eric was not satisfied. Although E.C company had a hard time in the past few years, it was not bad in its field. Even if it was not listed on the market, the evaluation price is too low. "Mr. White, I'm afraid, this price won’t make my boss satisfied. My boss hopes you can... " Eric showed five fingers. Joseph couldn't help laughing. "Mr. Lee, the price given by us is quite good. I'm afraid no company will agree with your price. So, you'd better say a reasonable price." "Yes, Mr. White is right." The negotiating team began to lobby. They were professional and said many weaknesses of E.C company so that Eric almost agreed. Suddenly, the door of the office was knocked. An assistant came in a hurry and reported to Eric: "General manager, the second young master of the Jones group comes." Everyone was stunned. Eric got up surprisingly, "who?" "The second young master of Jones group, Bill Jones!" The assistant repeated. Eric was flustered. Why did Mr. Bill come here? His arrival may let them fail to come to the deal! What should he do, if Joseph cooperate with Bill? Eric was anxious, but he managed to keep calm,"Mr. White, excuse me for a moment. Could we talk later? " Joseph got up with a gentle smile,"it doesn't matter. But I should see Mr. Bill as a courtesy. " Obviously, he wanted to seek cooperation with Jones group. White group would rather cooperation with Jones group than buy E.C company. If he can make friends with Mr. Bill, White group can save this money. The negotiation team also thought of this,"We think we should meet Mr. Bill first and then discuss the price." With that, they went out. Eric was desperate now. … At this time, in the reception room of E.C company, Bill was sitting on his seat with his legs crossed. He looked like a playboy, but no one dared to underestimate him. Bill, the second leader of the Jones group at a young age was pretty and a good talker. No one can deny his charm. The girl who served the tea was attracted by him totally. Bill was not surprised. He deliberately smiled, "thank you." The girl felt her heart has been stolen by Bill now. She left in a daze. Bill was amused. Soon, the door was opened again. Eric and the people of White group came in. Bill smiled more charmingly. Oh the White group took the initiative to see him! Interesting! They were courting death now!
