Chapter 301
Director Porter seemed to have just noticed him, stared in surprise for a moment, and then exclaimed, “Mr. Ellis, are you here also to compete for this project? That’s fantastic!”
Ellis was dumbfounded.
Brian scoffed. “Mr. Ellis looks down on our project, saying we’re deceiving people.”
Director Porter immediately became anxious. “Brian, is the project research outcome you just told me about on the phone fake?”
Brian said, “How could that be possible!”
“Then how could it be a deception?”
Director Porter was puzzled.
Brian handed over the project proposal to him.
“Because Mr. Ellis said, there’s no project worth several hundred million!”
Director Porter was shocked.
He instantly opened the project proposal and after a few glances, he immediately looked toward Ellis. “Quick, Mr. Ellis, sign the contract!”
This was Davis Corporation’s territory – what if they didn’t secure the contract, and it got snatched away?!
Ellis was utterly confused.
Staring at the contract, he was flabbergasted!
Even Ken’s expression changed as he looked towards Brian.
Brian immediately explained, “Director Davis, do you think I would deceive you? Porter and I have always been in competition; surely Porter wouldn’t be deceiving you either, right? But Mr. Wayne just said that they would no longer cooperate with Keera Technology in the future, so for this project, we can only collaborate with Olsen Group now!”
After saying this, he felt incredibly satisfied, releasing a long-held resentment with relief.
To be honest, working in such a large corporation,
with so many relatives in the company weighing down on him, he had long felt frustrated.
Now, seeing the expressions on Wayne and Ken’s faces, he felt indescribably thrilled!
Ken furrowed his brows.
Ellis then voiced what he was feeling inside. “Is this project really that important?”
Director Porter immediately said, “Mr. Ellis, let me put it this way. Everyone is working on new energy. In the future, who makes money will depend on whose technology is in the leading position. I can say that, among the things currently circulating in the market, this project is definitely the most advanced in technology. At present, apart from Dr. South’s company, there’s no other company in the country that can develop it!”
He leaned in close to Ellis and spoke in a lowered voice. “Mr. Ellis, I see Keera Technology is just a small company, why not spend a few billion to acquire them? This way, the technology will be ours!”
Ellis was shocked.
He coughed slightly and exchanged glances with Ken.
The next moment…
Ellis and Ken simultaneously said to Keira,
“I offer three billion to acquire your company!”
“I offer two billion to acquire your company!”
Ken, offering one billion less, quickly added, “I can also offer three billion!”
There were rules in the industry.
That was, malicious bidding wasn’t possible, so Ken and Ellis wouldn’t engage in malicious competition here. The price offered was the same, so what came next was to see each one’s sincerity.
Brian watched the two of them, his eyes smiling as h looked at Keira, “Miss South, who do you want to sell
to?”
Ken smiled. “Keera Technology, right? I know you’re Mary’s good friend. Although we had some unpleasantness in our cooperation, just now, I’ve withdrawn your family’s lawsuit, hasn’t he?”
The implication was, Ken had given her a break!
Ellis became anxious, saying, “That was only because of what I said, otherwise, how would you know about this today? Uncle Davis, please don’t compete with me on this project!”
Ken still smiled warmly. “My dear Ellis, it’s not that I want to compete with you, but from their recent conversation, it seems that Miss South was originally planning to work with us on this project, right?”
Keira heard this and glanced at Wayne, whose face had already turned dark, with a smile. “That’s right, but Mr. Wayne rejected it! He even said that he would never work with our company again in the future.”
Upon hearing this, Ken glared at Wayne. “His words don’t count; I have the final say, and besides, it’s all a misunderstanding.”
After finishing his statement, he turned to Brian.
“Brian, you’ve been with the company for over twenty years, and the company has treated you well, right? Now that you’ve found a new job, you can’t forget your old employer, can you? You’re familiar with Davis Corporation, and now that we’ve acquired it, won’t it be even more convenient to work together in the
future?”
Brian just smiled. “Director Davis, this matter still depends on Miss South. Actually, I don’t mind
cooperating with anyone; I’m quite familiar with Porter
too…”
“Right, right, right…
Director Porter nodded repeatedly while nudging Ellis.
He didn’t have the guts to argue with Ken over the project.
Ellis then twitched the corner of his mouth.
He came today originally to laugh at Keera and Mary, so how did it suddenly turn into him having to coax Keera to snatch the project?
How quickly his status had changed!
He coughed, and considering how he had always himself above Mary and Keera, he found it quite h to admit his new position.
He could only cough again and say, “Well, Keera, you have some connections with my uncle… Let’s be partners, and the price is negotiable!”
“The price on my side is also negotiable!” Both Ken and Ellis knew they couldn’t compete in price but needed
O
r
to make a statement.
If three billion wasn’t enough, they could add more
money!
Ellis coughed again, ready to speak, when Ken looked towards Mary,” Mary, Miss South is your best friend; you should come and help persuade her!”
Mary was perplexed.
Who was going to tell her what had happened?
Just a moment ago, she was still immersed in the joy that Keera finally didn’t have to repay the massive debt and worried about being pressured and lured by Wayne’s threats when returning to the company. How suddenly, the eldest uncle from the first branch of the family had become so pleasant toward her?
She felt a bit overwhelmed by the sudden favor, “U
Ken, I…”
Keira slowly began. “Actually, if Mary were to be in charge of this project, it wouldn’t be impossible…”
Understanding dawned on Ken, and he immediately said, “Of course, Mary will take charge. You two are good friends; it’ll be easier that way…”
His tone was quite affectionate now…
Keira then looked at Director Brian. “But Director Brian, you’ve resigned. The person coming to coordinate this project should at least be a director, right?”
Ken instantly burst out laughing. “Well, Mary, Director Brian has resigned, and since you’ve also been with the company for two years now, you should be promoted to that position!”
Wayne’s expression changed.
Mary was so young, but she had become a director, and from now on, he could never press down on Mary’s family again!
Keira was pleased with this. Then Director Da shall we begin…”
Just as the negotiation was about to succeed, D Porter from Olsen Group was becoming frantic, nudging Ellis urgently.
Ellis came to his senses and immediately shouted,
The others all turned to look at him.
–
Ken said with a smile, “Dear Ellis, why not? We already have a partnership with Keera Technology, and Mary and Keera have this relationship between them; we’re closely related!”
Ellis immediately retorted. “Keera, my uncle and you also have a close friendship as well…”
“What friendship can compare with a bestie from childhood?”
Ken laughed triumphantly. “Right, Keera?”
Keira didn’t know what to say.
She pulled a face, exchanging glances with Mary, and could see the joy in Mary’s eyes.
Seeing this, Ellis became anxious, and for the sake of the project, he blurted out, “Keera and our family ha an even closer relationship! She’s my cousin!”
