Lovely Baby Came to Me

Chapter 33 Asking for A Trouble

At 10:00am, the general manager Monty as well as some management, were standing at the gate of

Excellent Company’s office to welcome the on-site team from Gardner Group. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

All the management level of Excellent Company paid attention to the chance of acquisition; they were

well-dress today to wait for the team.

Soon, four to five Audi cars were arriving in high speed and stopped at the gate.

Monty went to open the door of the first car with great respect.

The first one who got out of the car was the representative of Gardner Group, Robbie Gardner.

He was in a suit of stripe and a pair of extremely clean shoes, tall and handsome; he looked gentle and

high-class, much outstanding among the folk.

The one following him was his fiancée Agnes.

She was well-dressed in luxurious brands and wore elegant make-up, appearing as an arrogant

peacock.

But she would become lovely and warm as soon as looking at Robbie.

The other team members got off in succession to stand behind Robbie and Agnes.

Monty extended his hand to talk respectfully, “Mr. Gardner, welcome your team. I prepared some drink

for you. This way, please.”

Robbie shook hand with Monty and smiled, “Thank you so much. We will be a family from tomorrow.

Please kindly help us in the future.”

Monty was happy to hear it, “Sure, I will. That is my work. Come in please.”

He led the team to the office.

They were in the CEO office soon.

Gardner Group could not allow any loss of this chance, so its best negotiators were here now.

Monty invited the team to have a seat and served welcome drink, then started the topic.

Gardner Group was a top business group which certainly sent a top team for the acquisition. Excellent

Company also intended to sell. Gardner Group took little time to count all the assets, annual income,

annual profit, resources and value, including whether holding liability.

After all the work, the chief representative of negotiation said, “Excellent Company has been

established for three years. In the first year, it lost; in the second and third years, it just broke even; in

the fourth and fifth years, it started to earn profit of thirty million dollars per year. In the sixth year, the

profit was only twenty million dollars due to more competition. In this year, namely the seventh year, it

came to a peak, especially after doing business with Rogers Group, being tripled valued. If we talk

about the development and profitability, Excellent Company is still potential to earn more profit in short

time; but considering the incompetent staff, we are afraid it will not earn so much from the second half

of next year. To conclude, we suggest the buying price is …”

Then, he showed his two fingers to give everyone here an answer about the value.

Two hundred million dollars!

Monty frowned with the price.

Although Excellent Company had a hard time in the first years of establishment, it had a good fame

and well-known in the industry. All of these had been invested plenty of money.

Even it had not been a listed company, the buying price was too low.

“Mr. Gardner, my boss will not satisfy the price. He said we should sell at...” Monty showed five fingers

to say.

At the beginning, Robbie listened to the talk without saying anything. But now, he laughed and said,

“Monty, you know it’s too tough. We quoted with the overall evaluation of your company; I still think it’s

overestimated. But your price is too much to meet the budget. We will not agree; neither company will

agree on your price. So, please make it fair.”

The team also said, “Mr. Clark, please get to be realistic.”

All the team were greatly professional who started to talk about details of Excellent Company’s weak

points. They were good at negotiation; after a couple of rounds, Monty was unable to negotiate with

them anymore.

Just the moment he lost it and agreed to sell at two hundred million dollars, someone was knocking at

the door.

His assistant came in hurriedly to report Monty, “Mr. Clark, Master Rupert is here.”

Everyone in the office was stunned.

Monty stood up to ask her, “Who is here?”

The assistant repeated, “Master Rupert Rogers from Rogers Group.”

Monty was worried about the reason of Rupert’s visit.

Both partied just finished the negotiation. Rupert’s appearance would exactly lead Robbie to contact

him.

What would he do if Robbie and Rupert have the same opinion, even finally agreed on the business?

Everything he intended to have would be gone.

So worried as him, Monty still tried to be calm in appearance and said, “Mr. Gardner, I have an

important visitor now. Do you mind stopping our talk for a while? We will continue when I am back.”

Robbie smiled and stood up, saying, “Never mind. But Master Rupert should not come here so often;

may I meet him together with you?

Obviously, he had the same idea with Monty.

So big a company as Gardner Group, Robbie preferred to negotiate with Rogers Group instead of a

small entity as Excellent Company.

Robbie believed he could save some money for Gardner Group if he got to know and talk with Rupert

now. He had to try it.

Someone of the team had also realized it and laughed to say, “Good idea. Let’s meet Mr. Rupert now

and then come back to confirm the price.”

Robbie and the whole team left the office; only the helpless Monty was here.

…

Just now, in the meeting room of Excellent Company, Rupert sat cross-legged casually. Though he

appeared to be silly, nobody would ignore his ability.

In the Rogers Group, Rupert took the jobs only under Hector at a young age; he was open-hearted and

talkative, looking greatly charming as well.

He was really the one who would surely obsess everyone meeting him.

The administrative lady serving tea for Rupert could not be more excited to see him and got a lovely

pink blush on her cheeks.

Rupert got used to the way he was treated and smiled to her, “Thank you.”

The lady got fast heartbeat and felt too shy to stay beside him; she left the room mindlessly.

Rupert laughed and then drank some tea while having a humming.

The door was pushed open later.

Monty being followed by the team from Gardner Group came in.

Rupert had a look at them and smiled secretly.

They were in a rush to see him before he taking some action!

Asking for a trouble!
