Chapter 435 That Is How Luke the Businessman Seeks His Revenge

The urban reconstruction project involved funds of over a hundred billion dollars. The reasonbehind T Corporation and Vivi Group's collaboration was not only because of the astronomical sumof money involved, but also because it was impossible for a single corporation to gain soledevelopment rights over the entire area.

In an attempt to regulate the economy, the local government did not want to give the entire pie toone corporation, even if the company could do so.

Even a single percentage point of profits from this project was a huge sum of money. Vivi Groupwas not going to go down without a fight.

The two parties were caught in a stalemate. All of Vivi Group's higher management was furious.They were planning to fight tooth and nail for one or two percentage points. Now that Luke wanteda whole ten percentage points, they were definitely angry.

After all, all civilities were already off the table. There was no point in courtesies, and therefore theboards of directors from Vivi Group were acting arrogantly.

They insisted on Quinton's proposal.

In fact, some of them even proposed to reduce T Corporation's share by several percentage points,and they were not going to yield.

They did so because they were sure that T Corporation would not be able to win the developmentrights of the entire area. Moreover, their financial resources were equally as strong as T Corporation.The higher management of T Corporation were confused. They did not know what their CEO wasdoing.

Several elderly shareholders of T Corporation were visibly displeased. Even though Luke wasfighting for their benefit, they thought that the young CEO had been too arrogant.

In the board of directors meeting yesterday, they had agreed upon splitting the profits 50-50 withVivi Group. In fact, they were even ready to yield several percentage points so that the collaborationcould happen.

They were ecstatic when Quinton had offered T Corporation five percentage points. That was abonus on top of the successful collaboration. They did not expect that Luke would make such acounteroffer.

The ensuing negotiations were fiercely intense. Neither side was willing to yield.

As time passed, the higher management of Vivi Group began to lose their cool.

Meanwhile, Luke remained seated calmly.

Eventually, even the usually stoic Quinton was beginning to become nervous.

He was quite impressed with Luke's performance.

The first time they met was ten years ago, in a business negotiation.

Luke was a lot younger back then. He might have the drive and the shrewdness, but he was lackingexperience.

Even so, it was already very difficult to deal with Luke.

Quinton had predicted that the extraordinary young man would one day lead the economic sceneof A City.

He did not expect that his predictions came true.

After being immersed in the cruel world of business for so many years, Luke had become moreshrewd and merciless. His imposing and overbearing manner while negotiating indicated that hewas not the callow lad from before.

Quinton could not hope to defeat Luke.

The intense negotiations lasted for more than an hour, but there was still no conclusion.

Luke did not yield a single bit, and Quinton was extremely stubborn.

The higher management of T Corporation was helpless. They had prepared for the project for morethan a year, and they were so close to signing the agreement. A windfall was imminent, butunforeseen circumstances had disrupted their plans. Of course they were worried.

Bianca was even more worried. No one knew better than her the effort that Luke had put into theproject.

He had worked overtime for many nights for the project proposal, and she did not understand whyhis opinion changed.

Luke remained calm as before. He got Jason to light a cigarette for him.

He lazily glanced at the flustered Vivi Group employees, which made those people even angrier.Louis was getting worried as he looked at his elder brother's calm demeanor. "Luke, I think fivepercentage points is enough. How about we sign the agreement?" He whispered into Luke's ear.

It was Louis's first time observing his elder brother in a negotiation. He thought that his elderbrother was too charismatic!

He felt that he could never achieve his elder brother's level no matter how hard he tried.

However, Louis thought that it was important that they agree on the collaboration. Not only wouldthe project bring huge profits to T Corporation, but they could also start on their next phase ofexpansion.

Luke smiled gently and tapped Louis's shoulder. "Don't worry. Even if the negotiations fail, I am stillconfident of winning the development rights,” he whispered.

Louis had many things to say in reply to that, but when he saw how confident his elder brotherlooked, his trust in him grew.

Luke never did anything that he did not have confidence in, and he would never pick fights he wasnot confident of winning. If Luke said that he could do it, then he must be able to do it!

"I can't possibly agree to your proposal, Mr. Crawford. How about this.

Seven points. That's as far as I'm willing to go. If you can agree to it, we'll sign the agreement.Otherwise, we'll have to call it off.” Quinton took a drag of his cigarette. Amid the smoke, one couldsee his anxiety.

Luke took a drag from his cigarette.

He gracefully tapped the cigarette on the ashtray, and his gaze looked past the crowd and fell onBianca.

His penetrating gaze became gentle when he saw her worried expression.

When he looked at Quinton once more, his gaze became cold.

Even though Quinton's tone of voice was threatening, Luke remained nonchalant. “No, I want tenpoints, or else. Mr. Lamarr, I can tell you that we don't necessarily have to collaborate with ViviGroup. Percy Mallory of Mallory Corporation, Jim Holston of Holston Corporation, and even EugeneHawking of JK Media have personally told me that they would gladly join in any of T Corporation'sprojects. I prioritized Vivi Group because you have a talented design team, just like us... If you're notwilling to cooperate with us, Mr. Lamarr, then there's nothing more I can say.”

Luke glared at Quinton coldly. He had never raised his voice against Bianca, and he was furiouswhen the chairman of Vivi Group had reprimanded his woman in public!

What better way to take revenge on Quinton than hurting him financially?
