“In that case, what are their plans for cooperation?” Jeric Smith asked while looking directly at Ava.
Ava frowned and thought but suddenly her eyes lit up.
“Grandfather, were they challenging the Jansen Medical Inc.? Does the two companies want to join hands to challenge the dominance of Jansen Medical Inc. in the industry?”
Hearing that, Master Smith said with a smile, “How can it be that even if these two companies add up and multiply by ten times, they will never be at par with Jansen Medical Inc.? You don’t know the horror of Jansen Medical Inc. Ava. In my opinion, in the whole province, Jansen Medical Inc. can definitely rank in the top three, or even win the first place.”
“So what are their aims?” Ava was more puzzled.
“Allen, I want to hear what you think.” Jeric suddenly said to Allen.
Allen was stunned but then he just shook his head with a bitter smile, “Old man, I don’t have any idea. I’m just a doctor. If you want to ask me which medicine works well, I know. However, if you ask me about something else than that, I don’t know.”
Jeric gave Allen a deep look and then turned to Ava, “At present, I can’t guess what they are thinking, so you’d better pay more attention to them, Ava.”
Ava nodded and said, “Don’t worry, grandfather, I will pay attention to them.”
After waiting for Allen and Ava to leave, Jeric stayed in the room alone. It took a long time for him to talk to himself.
“Allen, who are you? If Ava talks with Tommy by herself. I’m afraid she can’t win him at all. It seems that you are the only one who could really lead the negotiation.”
Allen didn’t know that Jeric had guessed that he lead the negotiation with Mr. Ford.
On the way back, he was still very puzzled about the cooperation between Adam and Tommy. Was their cooperation worth more than 200 million?
When he got home, he called Mr. Alberts and asked him to pay attention.
Although Jansen Medical Inc. industry was already dominant in West Coast City, and there was no need to worry about any pharmaceutical company in West Coast City, sometimes it was better to be cautious.
Two days later, in the morning, it was the day of trading between Smith group and Ford group.
After breakfast in the morning, Allen accompanied Ava to the company. Today was very important for the Smith Group.
As long as these antibiotics can be sold, the Smith group could start again and be brought back to life.
Coming to the company, Ava’s mood was very excited. She was looking out of the window, from time to time. She seemed to be waiting for Tommy’s car.
Observing and admiring Ava from afar, Allen couldn’t help but laugh. He always thought of Ava as someone who is always calm. She was a strong woman, but she was also a little girl.
People who achieved great things had to learn to be calm. They had to have the momentum that a big rainbow would collapse in front of them without changing its color. Only in this way could they achieve great things. When things happened, if they were in a hurry all day, such people could not achieve great things.
At about ten o’clock, Tommy’s car finally appeared at the door of the company.
When the guard called to report, Ava had already seen the scene. Her pretty face was full of joy and she turned to look at Allen.
“Allen, Tommy is here. Our company is saved!” she exclaimed excitedly.
Hearing Ava, Allen smiled, he was about to say some congratulations to Ava, but somehow, he felt uneasy and for a moment he confused because he didn’t know where the uneasiness came from.
In Tommy’s car, Tommy sat in the back row as usual, but this time it was not only him in the back row, but also a chubby old man, Adam.
What’s more, it’s Richard who sat in the passenger’s seat.
If Ava knew that Adam and Richard also came to Smith Group, she would not be as happy as she was just now.
“Mr. Ford, don’t look so unhappy. Isn’t it just a quota of the West Coast chamber of Commerce? It’s no big deal at all.” Adam said, smiling.
Tommy said with a bitter smile, “Mr. Green, you have joined the West Coast chamber of Commerce, that’s why you can easily say that. Don’t you know that joining the West Coast chamber of Commerce has always been my father’s greatest wish? But now I have to give up this opportunity for our cooperation. My father will definitely disappointed if he knows.”
Adam shook his head and said, “Did you forget what I told you? When our work is done, your group joining the West Coast chamber of Commerce would not be a big deal anymore”
“No way! Our own Ford group is not qualified enough.” Tommy sighed.
“Don’t forget that although I can’t let you into the West Coast chamber of Commerce, one person can.” Adam was full of temptation in his aura.
Tommy was shocked.
“Mr. Green, what are you saying? Who is willing to help me join the West Coast Chamber of Commerce?”
“Ha ha ha, me of course! I am one of the vice presidents of the West Coast chamber of Commerce! Naturally, I have the right of recommendation in my hand.” Adam said with a smile.
In the West Coast Chamber of Commerce, only the president and vice president could recommend other companies to join the West Coast Chamber of Commerce.
The reason why Mr. Green could recommend others to enter was because his company was also the top company of West Coast chamber of Commerce, and so Mr. Green was voted as the vice president.
The vice presidents of the West Coast chamber of Commerce had great power. Every vice president was the top entrepreneur in West Coast City. Some of them are even stronger than the president.
“If that’s the case, then I’m completely relieved!”
Tommy’s face was full of relief.
In fact, just now, he didn’t figure out who to cooperate with.
After all, he thought that if he cooperated with Adam, he would lose the qualification to enter the West Coast Chamber of Commerce. If he cooperated with Ava, he would lose the opportunity to continue to cooperate with Adam in that project.
Even Tommy was more inclined to the Smith Group in his mind. This was because the Smith Group offered more attractive conditions.
But now that Adam had promised to give Ford group a chance to join the West Coast Chamber of Commerce. His inclination towards the Smith Group slowly faltered.
Seeing Tommy’s expression, Adam was also relieved. Adam didn’t even dare to guarantee whether Tommy could get such a quota in the future. He was completely bluffing with Tommy and he did not even realize that.
This was necessary in case Tommy decided to fall towards the Smith Group. His plan will be ruined if this happens.
A moment later, Tommy and Adam appeared at the door of Ava’s office, followed by Richard, a dogleg.
Today’s Richard had lost his usual arrogance and domineering momentum. Nowadays, he was almost like a pet to Adam. He was submissive and it can be seen that he lost his self-confidence.
Looking at the sign of the general manager’s office, a touch of hatred flashed in Richard’s eyes. If he could sit in this office, he would not betray the Smith Group.
Tommy took a look at Adam beside him. Adam laughs. “Mr. Ford, knock on the door quickly.”
“Okay!” Tommy took a deep breath and knocked on the office door and asked, “Is Master Smith there?”
—
In the office, Allen was sitting on the sofa watching the news, and his uneasiness became even stronger.
Ava was not aware of it. After hearing the knock, her face looked happy.
“It should be Mr. Ford! I’ll greet him first.” She thought in her mind.
The next second, the office door opened, the first person to come in was not Tommy, but Adam!
Seeing Adam, who originally stood up with a smile on his face, Ava was stunned, and the smile on her face also instantly disappeared.
“Adam, why are you here?” Ava’s tone was unbelievable.
Adam laughed. “Oh Ava! can’t I come? Even if you don’t welcome me, I don’t think you won’t want to welcome Mr. Ford, right? Tommy and I have always been close partners, so we should be together in signing a contract.”
Hearing Adam say that Tommy and him were close partners, Ava’s face suddenly changed. She had a bad feeling about this.
