Chapter 379
"It's possible. If the negotiations go well, there will be no competition. If not, there may be a competition,” Derek said calmly.
The little guy clenched his little fist, "Even if they are going to compete, that crazy woman will be no match for my mother.”
"Judy is a bad person, but her design ability... is not bad.” Derek glanced at his son and said slowly. Easton suddenly froze and looked at his father in disbelief. In his mind, not many people could be praised by his father.
Since his dad said her design ability was good, it could only prove that the crazy woman was really capable. The little guy immediately worried.
"Then what should we do?"
"Don't worry, your mother won't lose.” Derek rubbed his little head.
The reason why he said that was that the competition was going to be held on his turf, so no matter what the process was, the outcome had to be the way he wanted it to be.
Easton did not speak, but he rolled his sly eyes from time to time. It was obvious that he was up to something.
At this time, an entire floor of the Emperor Grande Hotel was used to accommodate people from the Horton Family. In one of the suites, all the members of the Horton Family were present. Robert's face clouded over, but Judy, who was in front of him, did not notice it and was still making angry accusations.
"Uncle, that guy Xavier has gone too far. Did you see the way he looked at me just now? I'm the little princess of the Horton Family. What does he want?"
"Besides, the Xavier Group is just a small group in H Country. How dare he treated me like this? Why didn't you speak for me just now, uncle? I was so humiliated...”
Robert couldn't stand it any longer and said in a deep voice, "Shut up if you know you're embarrassed.”
He ignored his niece's incredulous and angry look. He said while his face clouded over, "A small group? The Xavier Group is one of the best companies in H Country. Its business covers various countries and it is no worse than the Horton Family.”
"Also, we can only work with the Xavier Group this time. Otherwise, we cannot get into the clothing market of H Country.”
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand this, and I don't expect you to understand it. Nonetheless, I've told you at home that we are not in M Country, so you have to control your temper, but what have you done?"
"It's foolish of you to offend the Xavier Group before we start negotiating.”
Judy, who had been scolded, was completely muddled. Before she could get angry, Robert continued, "If you cause any more trouble, I'll send you back immediately.”
His words suddenly silenced Judy. No matter how angry she was, she must hold back her anger for this cooperation.
Originally, as the miss of the Horton Family, she didn't have to be here for this cross-border cooperation.
However, her father said that if the cooperation was successful, at least half of the clothes would be designed by her each year, and she could establish her own brand.
Establishing a brand was a dream for every designer, and Judy was no exception.
More importantly, her father had said that she could get a cut of the profits from that half of the clothes, which was a large sum of money, and she could get the money every year.
It was impossible for Judy not to be tempted by such a big temptation, so she also came to H Country this time.
Robert had just said to send her back to M Country. In addition to its literal meaning, it also meant that the cooperation would have nothing to do with her when she was sent back.
How could this be?
When Robert saw that Judy had shut up, his face did not soften much. He then vented his anger on Tina, who was behind Judy and seemed to be invisible.
"And you, Tina, haven't you been with Judy all this time? You're her elder sister. You should stop Judy from doing anything inappropriate.”
When Robert blamed Tina, everyone could tell that Robert was taking his anger out on Tina. However, a gloomy look flashed across Judy's eyes. She turned around and slapped Tina hard. "That's right. You were standing right next to me. You must have stood there and laughed at me, bitch.” As she spoke, she slapped Tina again.
The two clear and loud slaps made Judy's anger dissipate a lot and she was in a much better mood. Others did not seem to be surprised by this scene and no one took it to heart. Robert only glanced at Judy indifferently, "Okay, we're not not at our home. Don't make a scene.”
Both Judy and Tina were members and daughters of the Horton Family, but it was clear that the status of the two girls was very different at home.
Tina lowered her head and covered her face, enduring the burning pain on her cheek. When she heard Robert's indifferent words, deep in her downcast eyes was a strong resentment. Nonetheless, no one noticed this scene. Even if anyone noticed it, they would not care.
Two days passed quickly. Today was the day for both sides to discuss cooperation. Early in the morning, people of the Horton Family came to the Xavier Group again.
One side of the huge conference table was filled with the people of the Horton Family, while Derek, Nora, Damian and several shareholders of the Xavier Group sat on the other side.
Robert, as the representative of the Horton Family this time, had a warm smile on his face, "Mr. Xavier, our Horton Family is very sincere to cooperate with the Xavier Group. I hope that we can maintain a long and mutually beneficial relationship.”
Derek curled his lips, "Of course. Cooperation is about win-win. Whether the Horton Family can get a share of the clothing market of H Country depends on what you can offer.
Robert smiled, but was not angry. He tipped one of the people in his line the wink. That person understood and stood up to go to the front.
He took out a USB flash drive, plugged it into the computer, and began to explain the history of the Horton Family and all the great achievements it had achieved in an orderly way.
In this way, they wanted to tell Derek how famous, amazing, and well recognized the clothing brand of the Horton Family was.
It could be said that as long as their brand was listed in H Country, it could represent confidence, reputation, and sales.
Robert was still smiling, but there was a complacent look on his face, "Mr. Xavier, what do you think?"
Derek nodded, "The Horton Family is indeed worthy of its name.”
His words made Robert happier. Robert handed over a document that had been drafted long ago, "Since Mr. Xavier is satisfied, we can continue to talk. This is our preliminary agreement. Mr. Xavier, you can take a look.”
