Chapter 381 Negotiating a Partnership James seemed to admire her courage.
Holding the IV drip in one hand, Harold used his phone to send the document to Chloe's phone.
When Chloe opened it, she saw it was a partnership deal with Paramount Airlines.
She looked up at James' irritatingly smug face. "You did this on purpose, didn't you?" She felt that James knew Paramount Airlines was the first party in this project, so he sent her.
"Mr. Shawn is your husband. Maybe it'll be easier to negotiate. I'm actually making it simpler for you." "Well, thank you very much!" Chloe, fuming, grabbed her phone and walked out.
"Where are you going?" Standing in the elevator, Chloe flipped him the bird.
Where else could she go? With less than an hour until the meeting, she had no choice but to head to Bright Moon International. "Damn capitalist!" she thought.
This partnership with Paramount Airlines involved making them the exclusive airline for Bright Moon International.
Not only was Bright Moon International a financial company with extensive domestic and international business, but its entertainment division, Bright Moon Entertainment, had many signed artists.
These artists frequently traveled for events, and if the partnership was secured, they would all fly with Paramount Airlines.

Chloe's task was to negotiate this deal.
Michael arrived with Ethan at Bright Moon International's conference room ten minutes early.
But he didn't see James or his assistant.
Instead, a manager led them to the meeting room and asked them to wait.
With tto spare, Michael wasn't worried.
"Did you see Chloe earlier?" Ethan shook his head. "No, I didn't see Mrs. Shawn." He figured Chloe might not be on this floor.
Michael felt a bit disappointed.
He had hoped to see Chloe, thinking she might cto discuss the project.
Ten minutes passed quickly, but no one else cinto the meeting room.
As a pilot, Michael was always punctual.
With Bright Moon International's people being late, he was getting a bit annoyed.
Just as he was about to ask Ethan to check, the door opened from the outside. "Sorry, I'm late!" Chloe's voice reached Michael's ears.
His eyes lit up instantly.
Chloe had thought that someone else from Paramount Airlines would cfor this kind of project. Usually, the project department handled the meetings, and Michael just needed to sign off.
She had even mentally prepared herself on the way over.
When she looked up, she saw Michael's sharply defined face.
Her heart skipped a beat, but she remained composed and took a seat. "Mr. Shawn, I'll be representing Bright Moon International in today's negotiations." Michael was more than happy for her to represent them.
After all, negotiating with his wife was far better than dealing with a bunch of shrewd businessmen.
"Paramount Airlines has an excellent reputation. In all these years, there haven't been any passenger fatalities in the past decade. Your company has nothing to worry about regarding safety." Chloe knew all this.
This partnership was practically a done deal.
But James had given her the challenge of securing a twenty percent profit increase, which was giving her a headache.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"We've reviewed Paramount Airlines' information and have no doubts about your professionalism. However, there are spricing concerns from our side." Michael was a bit surprised.
Paramount Airlines had initially offered Bright Moon International a very competitive rate.
It was a win-win collaboration, focusing more on longevity and stability rather than short-term profits.
"Mr. Shawn, as you know, Bright Moon International has a large employee base, plus international branches and its entertainment division. This collaboration would not only benefit Paramount Airlines' reputation but also bring considerable business. Therefore, we're hoping for more favorable terms." In simple terms, Bright Moon International wanted to know how much cheaper their people could fly with Paramount Airlines than buying tickets at market rates.
It couldn't just be the sas regular market prices.
Otherwise, what was the point of the partnership?
"The contract states that if the deal goes through, Bright Moon International will receive a twentyn percent discount on all flights, including all internal discounts from Paramount Airlines." Chloe had seen the contract. Paramount Airlines was already very generous. Asking for further discounts seemed unreasonable and greedy on Bright Moon International's part.
But James' strict target was there, so she had no choice but to press on.
"A twenty percent discount can be found during promotional events at most airlines. Besides, just offering a twenty percent discount seems a bit lacking in sincerity from your side." Chloe had to lie through her teeth. After hearing that, Michael immediately knew she had a specific goal today, not just casually asking for a discount.
"So, what discount is your company looking for?" X
