Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2796: Chapter 1975: Solution Method (Part 2)

Elder Zate had a sudden flash of inspiration and immediately focused, ”You continue!”

Abbot said, ”We’ll be clear with Auston, letting them know that taking this deal is all harm and no benefit. If they agree to cooperate, we can promise them substantial profits. I believe they’ll be able to weigh the pros and cons!”

”This way, on the surface it’s the Auston family taking the order, but in reality, it’s the Caroline Family Company doing the business.”

”Afterwards, we can have the Auston Family spread the word, claiming that they underestimated, that the funding chain broke, given they recently suffered a typhoon and tsunami. They’ll say that market materials have skyrocketed, transportation costs increased, and conditions need to be renegotiated. Since our bidding is done in phases, it’s common after completing one phase. Then, whether to replace them and let a shell company in or whatever becomes easier. We can even use the excuse that even a big family like Auston needs to raise prices, set the price extremely high, and recover phase one losses!”

Upon hearing this, Elder Zate’s eyes lit up, nodding slightly.

”To the higher-ups, to the Caroline Family, you can claim that it’s for caution’s sake, joining forces with the Auston Family to explore a new safe way. After all, it’s too risky to always use shell companies! If they’re not satisfied, we don’t have to use them next time!”

Abbot sneered and said, ”As for the Auston Family, once this business is done, is it any problem for us to crush them!”

With that said, Elder Zate nodded repeatedly, ”Good, good, you spoke well!”

”I was in such a rush and couldn’t think clearly. Fortunately, I have you!” Elder Zate patted Abbot’s shoulder with a face full of satisfaction, ”In the future, when I step down, the position of general manager is yours!”

”You’ve spoken too highly of me!” Abbot immediately appeared flustered with a forced smile, ”If I rise, it would only be because you are getting a promotion!”

These words made Elder Zate overjoyed, laughing heartily.

Having made up their minds, the two walked out of the small room straight towards the meeting room.

Since the political circles only wanted a result, there was no need to move on-site for the contract signing, they needed to handle this trouble now.

...

In the meeting room, ”Mr. Guoba” leaned close to Bai Xiaosheng, whispering like a mosquito, ”Bai, I think that even if you successfully intercepted just now, we still can’t sign this deal. Think about it, it’s entirely a show. Now even the spectators have been asked to leave, so when they return, they won’t look kindly on us, and the contract will still be signed with those people.”

While saying this, ”Mr. Guoba” was quite confident in his analysis.

Bai Xiaosheng put away his phone, smiled, and said, ”Want to bet with me?”

”What bet?” ”Mr. Guoba” was surprised at the words.

”You bet on what you said, I bet that I will get the bid today,” Bai Xiaosheng smiled, ”If you win, I’ll have Mr. Auston manage your family’s big company, and while we’re in Mogran, three meals a day will be on me, every day enjoying gourmet food. If you lose, you have to follow whatever I say in Mogran, if I say east, you go east, if I say west, you go west, without a bit of hesitation, how about it?”

”Mr. Guoba” blinked at that.

This seems advantageous to him, after all, Uncle Auston did say to fully accommodate these people, and going along with them was necessary.

”Mr. Guoba” immediately nodded, ”I bet!”

As soon as he said that, there was noise at the meeting room door.

Bai Xiaosheng looked over, and ”Mr. Guoba” also turned his head to look.

They happened to see Zate and Abbot entering one after the other.

”The answer will soon be revealed!” ”Mr. Guoba” was instantly excited.

But then, he glanced at the people in the room and grew worried again.

The room was already devoid of ”outsiders,” and they might soon face the thunderous wrath of the two executives of Lan GO Company.

Thinking of this, ”Mr. Guoba” couldn’t help but shrink his neck, a bit timid.

Bai Xiaosheng, however, appeared calm and collected as he observed the two individuals.

The other bidders present, including representatives from the three ”special” companies, all watched as Zate and Abbot walked onto the podium.

Elder Zate’s gaze swept the room and landed on ”Mr. Guoba” and Bai Xiaosheng’s faces.

Compared to ”Mr. Guoba’s” shifting gaze, the Asian-faced man was quite composed.

Elder Zate took a deep breath secretly, held back his inner emotions, and slowly began to smile.

Yet upon seeing him smile, the entire room fell silent.

They all found his smile terrifying.

”Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for attending our Lan GO Company’s bidding session. The results are now out,” Elder Zate stared at Bai Xiaosheng and ”Mr. Guoba,” smiling as he said word by word, ”We are here to sign with Okrak Company!”

Upon hearing these words, everyone present couldn’t help but be surprised, involuntarily looking at Bai Xiaosheng and Mr. Guoba.

”Mr. Guoba” was also taken aback.

He never thought he would lose so conclusively.

The room no longer had ”outsiders,” yet Lan GO Company still agreed to sign with their own?

Is it because of the media, or is there someone from the political scene attending?

”Mr. Guoba” was immediately annoyed, realizing he had overlooked this.

It seems that I’ve truly lost this bet!

But it seems that losing doesn’t cost me much...

Thinking this, ”Mr. Guoba” didn’t mind too much.

Next, Elder Zate invited Bai Xiaosheng and ”Mr. Guoba” on stage to sign the contract.

Bai Xiaosheng patted ”Mr. Guoba” on the back and led him forward.

”Mr. Guoba” was willing to accept the loss, obediently stood up, and went onto the stage to sign the contract.

The crowd below symbolically applauded.

However, the applause was filled with hesitation.

”Thank you all for coming, Mr. Abbot has some words for you, and as for these two gentlemen from Okrak, please follow me.” Elder Zate said loudly.

Here, Abbot would speak to everyone about the ”confidentiality” requirements, and leave the heads of the three ”special” companies to instruct them separately.

Elder Zate wouldn’t concern himself much with this part.

He wanted to chat with the two members of the Auston Family, and by the way, make a call to Auston to discuss the next steps!

Bai Xiaosheng and ”Mr. Guoba” got up and followed Elder Zate out.

Bai Xiaosheng remained calm, while ”Mr. Guoba” appeared uneasy, frequently glancing at Bai Xiaosheng.

The strong aura of Elder Zate was too much for him, naturally, he sought ”reliance”.

Seeing that Bai Xiaosheng was unaffected, he was filled with admiration.

Without a word, Elder Zate led Bai Xiaosheng and ”Mr. Guoba” to another room and invited them to sit.

”Did Mr. Auston instruct you two to secure this big deal today?”

Elder Zate asked with a slight smile, his gaze calm yet carrying a hint of sharpness.

”Mr. Guoba” instantly felt immense pressure, trying to smile but finding it difficult.

”Isn’t it obvious, Mr. Zate?” Bai Xiaosheng replied with a natural smile, ”When I announced the minimum price at the meeting, it showed careful consideration. Spur-of-the-moment decisions could never be that precise, right?”

Indeed, lowering by nine percent, with some room to spare if less, and appearing excessive if more.

”You have really mastered this well!” Elder Zate narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice.

Beside them, ”Mr. Guoba” had a slightly peculiar expression.

He was certain that it was Bai Xiaosheng’s first time seeing the bid, and how he calculated the data so accurately was beyond him.

With Bai Xiaosheng’s convincing talk, he felt uncertain, could it be that Bai Xiaosheng had seen it beforehand...

”So, Mr. Auston, what do you want?”

Elder Zate clasped his hands together on the table, staring at Bai Xiaosheng and asked.

Bai Xiaosheng immediately showed a meaningful smile.

”Mr. Auston thinks our previous cooperation was rather trivial,” Bai Xiaosheng mirrored the posture, smiling calmly, ”Mr. Auston believes we can play a more significant role!”

”For instance, this time, we take on the order, but who executes it is up to you.”

”If additional funds are needed later, or new terms to be signed, it’s all up to you.”

Hearing this, Elder Zate’s eyes narrowed abruptly.

This was part of the strategy he discussed with Abbot.

Had the other side already planned this?

Low-balling as a means to force an agreement from us?

Elder Zate took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, ”I’ve always thought I got along well with Mr. Auston, but today I’ve just realized—”

”I am terrible at reading people!”
