Chapter 71
Claire looked at Gilmore and said seriously, “I want to cooperate with you to open this restaurant together.”
Gilmore thought about it for a moment and understood that Chire wanted to cooperate with him, because as a businesswoman, she saw a business opportunity.
He picked up Claire’s shares agreement and read it.
The contents of the agreement were that the two of them would work together and each would take 50% of the restaurant’s shares.
“Okay, let’s run a restaurant together.” Gilmore put down the agreement and immediately agreed to Claire’s request
Claire’s face lit up. “Then let’s talk about details. How should we name the restaurant?”
“It’s called Evermore Diner. After our restaurant becomes a restaurant chain, it will be called Evermore Group” Gilmore said.
Evermore Diner was the name given by his parents, and it was also the names of him and his sister, so Gilmore wanted to keep this name.
Claire seemed to have no objection and said, “Well, our company will be called Evermore Group and our restaurant will be called Evermore Diner.
Then Claire asked Gilmore what dishes there will be, their cooking methods, and how he would ensure the naturalness and healthy benefits of the ingredient used
Gilmore introduced to her roast chicken cooked the ancient way tonic drink made with wild herbs, rice noodles, mac and cheese with radishes, etc., which were not only natural ingredients but also cooked healthily,
After hearing these, Claire actually felt a little hungry. When Evermore Diner opened in her mall, she resolved to have a good taste of these natural dishes.
After introducing the food, Gilmore also proposed to Claire that they should purchase natural green ingredients directly from Elmwood and set up special logistics to ensure that the ingredients in the restaurant were absolutely natural and healthy.
That’s because the ingredients were the most important part for Evermore Diner to establish its brand.
“But Gilmore, if we set up a specialized logistics channel and purchase ingredients directly from Elmwood, our cost will be greatly increased.” Claire objected.
Gilmore said, “In the early days, the cost may be high, but when our branches spread in Oakhaven and occupy the market, the large quantity of ingredients purchased can offset the cost of the logistics”
As a businessman, Claire immediately understood. She nodded and said, “Well, I will build a logistics team from the mall’s transportation team to ensure that the ingredients of our restaurant are absolutely natural
The
e two of them discussed some other details of the operation and felt that there were no more problems.
Gilmore said to Claire, “I’ll leave the management of Evermore Diner to you in the future. I won’t participate in it.”
When it came to business operations, Gilmore felt that he was not as good as business family.
aire, who was after all the daughter of a
Gilmore had only discovered a business opportunity through his God’s Eye, whereas Claire was a company’s president with business vision and capability. This was something Gilmore could not compare to.

Claire was also very confident. She said, “Just leave it to me. I will definitely promote Evermore Diner to the whole Oakhaven, and in the future, I will promote it to the rest of Vane Province.
“Well, I believe you can do it” Gilmore had no doubts about Claire’s vision.
According Gilmore’s God’s Eye, after about five years, he saw that Claire had indeed become the queen of the restaurant industry.
Moreover, she achieved unprecedented success in the restaurant industry and officially brought in the concept of natural and healthy products.
It could be said that even if Claire did not cooperate with Gilmore to run the Evermore Diner, five years later, she would also create a natural healthy food restaurant by relying on her accurate judgment and keen business acumen. She would succeed and become the queen of restaurants.
This was also the main reason why Gilmore chose to cooperate with Claire.
Come to think of it. Gilmore had secretly obtained a great advantage.
The two signed the cooperation agreement and each retained one copy.
After discussing the cooperation, Gilmore said to Claire, “It’s almost lunchtime. I wonder if you can have lunch with Miss Carter!”
Claire said, “Okay, but I still have some work to do. Wait a while.
“How about this? You focus on your work first. I’ll return to the Business Department office and talk to my parents about our collaboration,” said Gilmore.
Claire nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll go to the Business Department to look for you later.”
After saying goodbye to Claire, Gilmore went to the office of the Business Department on the fifth floor.
In the office, Harlan and his wife looked forward to Gilmore’s return.
“Son, how did it go?” Sophia asked Gilmore.
Gilmore handed the contract in his hand to his mother and said, “Take a look.”
His parents immediately opened the agreement and began to read.
In the office, Irene and Gerald saw the words shares agreement on the cover and knew that the matter of the store had been settled.
“Son, according to the agreement, our shop will be exempt from rent, and the Newhaven Commercial Plaza will also put in four hundred thousand dollars’ initial investment. What’s going on?” After reading the agreement, Harlan asked Gilmore in surprise.
Gilmore said with a smile, “Simply put, someone has invested in our Evermore Diner, and the investor is Vice President Miss Carter of Newhaven Commercial Plaza,
“In this way, not only will we not have to pay the rental fee, but we can also get a start-up fund of four hundred thousand dollars from Miss Carter. Of course, this is only a preliminary investment. As our restaurant grows into a chain, Miss Carter
will also invest more money.
Do you have any objections?”
Harlan and his wife looked delighted as they immediately shook their heads. “No objections, no objections!”
“However, with her investment, Miss Carter will also own 50% of the shares of Evermore Diner.

Not only did they not need to pay rent, but they also got four hundred thousand dollars as a start-up fund. They had no objection to such a good thing.
Irene and Gerald heard Gilmore say that Irene had invested four hundred thousand dollars in Gilmore’s parents to open a restaurant on top of waiving the rent.
They were stunned! How could it be possible?
She wondered, “How’s it possible?”
Irene knew that her boss, Claire Carter, was a domineering president. She never cared about friendship in business. Furthermore, she knew that Claire was a woman of her word and wouldn’t change her mind easily.
Shop number 10 was the shop with the best location in the commercial plaza. Claire had already ordered that this shop must be reserved for a branded restaurant to attract customers.
This was also the reason why shop number 10 had been empty for so long. She would rather it be empty than used wrongly.
She didn’t expect that Claire would change her thinking and rent the restaurant to Gilmore’s parents instead.
In addition, she had waived the rent and also invested four hundred thousand dollars in a restaurant that had not yet opened, a restaurant that no one knew.
This was simply inconceivable to Irene. How had Gilmore done it?
Irene suddenly felt that this Gilmore was mysterious, as if he always did something astonishing yet hard to fathom.
At this time, Gilmore picked up the remaining ten thousand dollars from the table and handed it to Irene, saying. “The contract was successfully signed. These ten thousand dollars is also yours.”
However, Irene quickly waved her hand and said, “Mr. Reed, I can’t accept it. Serving you is my job. Also, I can’t accept the ten thousand dollars. Otherwise, Miss Carter will blame me.”
She not only rejected the ten thousand dollars from Gilmore, but she also took out the earlier ten thousand dollars from her pocket and returned it to Gilmore.
Now that Gilmore’s parents were opening a restaurant with Miss Carter’s investment, if she accepted Gilmore’s money, did that mean that she didn’t want her job?
Therefore, not only did Irene not accept the additional money, she even spat the first sum out
When Gilmore saw this, he knew what Irene was thinking. He also knew that even if he gave her money now, she would never dare to accept it.
Helpless, Gilmore could only say, “Then I’ll treat you to a meal later, okay?”
Irene looked flattered as she nodded and said, “Of course, Mr. Reed”
He was young, handsome and generous. One look was all it took to tell that he was wealthy and capable.
His sudden invitation to a meal caused Irene’s heart to beat faster and being single, she wondered if Gilmore was interested in her.
