NovelEnglishChapter 807 More Difficult The moment she arrived at the research institute, she received a call from Jack. She schooled her emotions and answered her phone. “Mr. Damaris, what can | do for you?” Roxanne’s voice reminded him of the incident last night. “Nothing really. | just want to seek your opinion on something. Herbscape Group hopes you can take on the role of technical advisor for them. I think you're up for it, but what are your thoughts?” Roxanne was stunned by the proposal. It took her a few seconds to agree with a smile. “Since it's something you and Herbscape Group want, | naturally won't say no.” Jack chuckled. “I'm glad to hear that.” After discussing sdetails, both of them ended the call. When Roxanne put her phone aside, an avalanche of emotions descended upon her again.
According to Jack, my assistance is crucial to the collaboration between Damaris Group and Herbscape Group.
Now that | have agreed to take on the role of technical advisor, Lucian would probably be angry withagain when he found out about it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRealizing what was going through her mind, Roxanne put an end to such thoughts and laughed self-deprecatingly at herself.
The matter has been settled, and the competition between Lucian and Jack has ended. Why would he continue to be involved with me? Meanwhile, Lucian didn’t return to Farwell Group. Instead, he drove straight to Queen Group to see Jonathan, intending to discuss the matter related to Herbscape Group with him.
Jonathan stood up and greeted Lucian with a nod when he saw him making his entrance. “I heard that Herbscape Group has signed the contract with Damaris Group last night. Our plan to takeover Herbscape Group has failed.” Lucian took a seat opposite him, looking solemn. “Other than Herbscape Group, do you have your eye on any other pharmaceutical companies?” Since Jonathan's expertise was in the medical industry, Lucian would usually seek out the former's opinion on such matters.
After pondering upon the question, Jonathan gave a helpless shrug. “In Horington, there's no other company | can think of other than Herbscape Group. That's the only company that will bring us the biggest benefit with a takeover.” As soon as he said that, both their expressions turned grim.
Jonathan's conclusion was that they had no other choice other than Herbscape Group.
However, now that the company had signed a contract with Damaris Group, negotiating a takeover had becsignificantly more difficult.
“If we fail to acquire Herbscape Group, our project will be put in a disadvantageous position,” Jonathan said matter-of-factly.
Lucian nodded in understanding, then began to think of other ways.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey had spent a lot of tnegotiating the contract clauses with Herbscape Group before obtaining the latter's agreement.
Yet, Damaris Group swooping in suddenly had caused Herbscape Group to renege on the contract.
Now that Herbscape Group and Damaris Group had established a partnership that was well publicized, the chances of acquiring the former were as good as none.
All of a sudden, Jonathan suggested, “Um... How about | get another company to negotiate a partnership with Damaris Group? We can learn about the price Herbscape Group asked for. Then, if we lower our asking price, we may be able to induce Damaris Group into breaking the contract with Herbscape Group, which will create an opening for us to continue negotiating the takeover. In fact, we may even be able to do so at a lower price.” In the event Herbscape Group was abandoned by Damaris Group, they could use it as a talking point. Moreover, it was Herbscape Group that had reneged on the contract first. They were naturally in their debt for doing so. If takeover talks were to be revived, Herbscape Group would definitely feel pressured to give in.
Jonathan beamed with pride over his idea that was capable of killing two birds with one stone when he finished.
