Chapter 37 “Doing Charity”
Early next morning, Amber left the hotel for the construction materials company for handover.
Compared with her family business, this company was really nothing.
If it wasn't the first company that her father started, he wouldn't have kept the company.
Since Jack worked at DT real estate agency, it would be easy for her to help him if she got engaged in the industry.
After visiting his mother in the hospital, Jack started his busy working day.
Corbin hurried in Jack's office with a bunch of documents.
"Jack, there's a tricky matter here. I need you to make a decision."
Putting down the documents, Corbin said, "The project of the West Shantytowns is too big so we have asked the top local supplier to provide us the construction materials this time. But they have been hesitating because of the qualifications of our company.”
Jack picked up the document and read through it, not showing many surprises.
DT was just the small one of Aiden's portfolios. Its size was not even among the top ten in the city.
Qualifications had always been the weakness of DT.
If that drunken and pervert Ben Hall had not signed the overpriced 30 million contract when he was still the general manager, it would have been very difficult for DT to get such a big project. Even Jack had addressed the problem successfully. Yet, it was still unrealistic to let the previous suppliers to provide construction materials for such a big project.
They were not able to take it!
The most important thing they needed to do was to find a qualified construction materials supplier.
"EnRich construction materials company?"
Looking at the contents of the document, Jack frowned slightly and smiled bitterly, "This is the exclusive supplier of the major buildings in the city. Our qualification is indeed much worse." "Yes, that's the point. So, even if they know we had this project of West Shantytowns, they are still hesitant."
Corbin was worried, "So Jack, do you think we should follow up the negotiation, or change to another construction materials supplier? Or do we continue using the existing construction materials supplier?" "They can't take such a big project. No supplier is superior to EnRich in the city. "
Jack put down the document with a smile, “Okay, continue to follow up the negotiation. I'll go to meet their president at noon."
Engaging in the real estate industry for three years, he clearly knew qualification was just an excuse.
Moreover, DT had the project for West Shantytowns. After the release of news about YK Group's entry, the housing prices of the West Shantytowns had secured a constant surge.
As long as the president of EnRich was not stupid, they would agree to cooperate.
The hesitated just for the sake of commission.
At the EnRich head office, Amber was flipping through various documents.
The handover was incredibly smooth because of her father's relationship with the predecessor who was also willing to support her.
But if she wanted to take complete control of the company, she needed to learn more.
If she really wanted to help Jack, she had to get a foothold in the company as soon as possible.
Tap-tap.
Someone knocked on the door.
Amber did not look up, "Come in."
A man in his thirties, in the suit, walked in.
That was Josh Ellis, the former president of EnRich. Because of Amber, he took another position as the deputy general manager.
Josh wasn't dissatisfied with this.
Amber was the only daughter of his boss. As Amber was taking over EnRich, his boss's business empire, his boss must have much confidence in the company and him. What was more, he also appreciate Amber's performance.
She was really not that kind of wealthy inheritor who knew nothing but having fun.
Moreover, Josh had some peculiar thoughts of her as they were almost at the same age.
However, all this couldn't be seen through by Amber.
Josh put a document in front of her with a gentle smile, "Amber, you've really worked too hard, take a break."
"It's okay."
Amber saw the document and looked up at Josh, "Mr. Ellis, what's this?"
Josh looked at Amber's pretty face and couldn't help losing his mind for a moment.
After coming to his senses, he hurriedly said, "This is the details of the project on which DT real estate agency wants to work with us. This is also the most urgent project now."
"DT real estate agency?"
Amber hurriedly picked up the document to read. She remembered Jack was the deputy general manager of the company.
Josh reported, "Last month, DT got the renovation project of West Shantytowns. They were really lucky. YK Group announced to enter into West Shantytowns. That's why the housing prices there are increasing crazily."
"Isn't that pretty good?" Amber raised her eyebrows and said, "Once they sign this contract, they will be making a big profit, and we can also benefit a lot by cooperating with them."
"It's good, but DT's qualifications are really bad," Josh pretended to be awkward.
Hearing this, Amber's pretty face turned to a scowl and cupped her hand, "Mr. Ellis, don't talk about qualifications. I'm not a kid, just say it if you want to raise the price." "Oh, Amber, you really read me through."
Josh smiled awkwardly, "In fact, our company has been hesitant to cooperate with them. We have been trying to negotiate to set the price of materials and the commission at a more superior point." "As you said, qualifications do not need to be considered, but DT is holding the project of West Shantytowns. What a cash cow! We should think about maximizing our interests."
Since he took charge of EnRich, he had worked hard to maximize its benefits. Even his boss was satisfied with it.
He knew clearly that EnRich had already been the number one in the city.
But he wanted a bigger piece from his boss's business empire.
However, he said no to Amber, "That's not good."
Amber frowned as she shook her head, "In the business world, maximizing profits is important but the mutual benefit counts more, for that can be longer-term." Josh was stunned and echoed, "Amber, you are right. Then what do you think we should do for the cooperation?"
"Of course we should give it a big yes, and readjust the prices," said Amber.
Josh was a little disappointed. Readjusting the prices meant the profit could not be maximized.
But the decision was made by Amber and he couldn't argue with it. It's just fine to earn less.
Josh smiled and asked, "How much should we adjust?"
Amber pointed at the document, "Reduce all quotation prices of the existing materials by thirty percent."
Boom!
Josh was stunned as if he was struck by lightning. His smile faded.
Instead, he stared at Amber with extremely odd and shocked eyes.
Was the young lady taking over the company to learn lessons at the cost of money loss?
Was she sure not here to be the prodigal black sheep?
Mutual benefit didn't mean money loss, right?
"Okay, just do as I say and go to DT to sign the contract."
Josh left blankly with the documents. When he reached the door, Amber said, "Also, Mr. Ellis should call me Ms. Knight. Stop calling me Amber. I don't like that." "Okay, okay Ms. Knight," Josh said with a pale face.
When Josh was gone, Amber smiled happily, "What a coincidence! I can help Jack so quickly. Is that thirty percent too outrageous?”‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶
