Chapter 845
After Jeff finished his spiel, the car conveniently came to a stop at the gate of the Raymond Villa.
Tan got out of the car and went straight to the top floor, finally meeting Pearson.
Pearson didn’t exactly have the Raymond family’s signature looks. He was above average, not particularly striking,
but his eyes held the same sharpness as Dennis’s. They seemed calm but were actually razor–sharp
In some ways, this father and son were very much alike.
Pearson was the first to say hello. “Cuz, long time no see. How’s it going?”
The day he joined the Raymond family, he didn’t pay a visit to lan. His position wasn’t that significant, so he didn’t
need lan to get involved.
After Eric passed away, everyone assumed that the finance educated cousin would inherit the position.
But Holden chose lan, clearly wanting him to take over the position that had originally belonged to his brother. Eric
had only just passed away, so no one else had a say.
So when Selena said that this position was Dennis’s, she wasn’t wrong.
lan himself had never intended to inherit the Raymond family.
When he took over Eric’s position, the rest of the Raymond family was somewhat disgruntled.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEven though the Raymond family’s stock kept rising during the years when lan managed from abroad, proving he
was a business genius on par with Eric.
But so what? In other people’s eyes, he was just lucky. Eric had just happened to die.
Moreover, lan’s methods were even more ruthless than Holden’s. He either bankrupted his opponents or forced
them to admit defeat, all within the bounds of the law. He had a knack for business tactics that made people fear
him, so everyone hoped he would step down!
Now that Dennis had finally stepped up, they can imagine how happy the others were.
Pearson looked at his cousin, barely able to hide his jealousy.
Why did the Raymond brothers share such good genes? They were handsome and competent.
When Eric was around, everyone felt suffocated by his aura.
When news of his death came, Pearson had even thrown a celebration with his father, thinking the Raymond heir
would be him. But it turned out to be lan, who had served in the military. What the hell?
Pearson kept his emotions under control, maintaining a smile on his face.
lan just glanced at him casually, nodded slightly, and walked into his office.
Pearson was quite pissed off at this attitude. His hand at his side clenched, but he had to endure.
His father was still aggressively buying up other shares. Ian would soon be ousted, so he had to wait until then to
drive this man out of the Raymond family.
After lan sat down, Jeff handed him a big project.
“Boss, this is the EcoTraverse Group cooperation project. The EcoTraverse Group is a top luxury car brand
worldwide, and they want to partner with us. However, the risk of this project has exceeded our maximum
tolerance. Most importantly, they want to sign a risk investment agreement. This kind of agreement can bring
handsome returns but also requires high risks. If we can win this project, the Raymond Corporation’s market value
might double.”
After all, the EcoTraverse Group had never chosen to cooperate with other companies on such a large scale. This
time, they were probably seeking a significant collaboration.
“Boss, the offer is indeed tempting, but if we fail, Dennis might take the chance to attack you again.”
lan was already being punished for his marriage issue, and Dennis had seized the opportunity. If this risk investment
failed, the Raymond family elders might transfer their shares to Dennis, bringing his total to 45%.
With just a bit more buying up, lan would lose all control.
If lan could win this project, he would be able to make up for his previous mistakes.
It would also show the rest of the Raymond family that despite the criticism he’s faced due to personal issues, his
business acumen was still the strongest among the Raymonds.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlan put down the document in his hand, his eyes devoid of any emotion.
“The contract required me to purchase 5% of the EcoTraverse Group’s shares within two months, and all future
imports of the EcoTraverse Group will cooperate with the Raymond Corporation is that all?” He smiled lightly and
signed his name.
“Jeff, I’m going to meet with the president of the EcoTraverse Group. I’ll personally sign the risk investment
agreement with him.”
Jeff was surprised. He had thought that Ian would refuse.
After all, the Raymond Corporation wasn’t short of partnership projects. Even if the EcoTraverse Group was a top–
tier corporation worldwide, there was no need to take such a significant risk. Especially since they had proposed a
risk investment agreement, clearly targeting lan personally, and he was actually going to sign the contract.
“Boss” Jeff was worried. Anyone with eyes could see that this wasn’t a simple matter.
But lan had already shifted his focus away from the contract, turning on his computer. He said to Jeff, “Have the
chef send meals over to Maja later and don’t forget to do this for all three meals every day. She’s got stomach
issues. Let the nutritionist take care of her health.”
It seemed like, to him, this big project wasn’t as crucial as Maja’s eating habits.
