Betastone Company.
A white Maserati limousine drove up, and when the car was parked, Jason stepped out of the car.
Next, a light gray professional suit against a dry and simple Sally also walked out of the car, her eyes looked at the Betastone Company in front of her and said, “Come on, let’s go in.”
Sally came in person and had already made an appointment with Jordan Morris, the president of Betastone Company, in advance. After walking into this company, there was already a special person waiting, leading Sally and Jason to take the elevator upstairs, all the way to the office where Jordan Morris was located.
“Miss Herthum, Mr. Morris is waiting inside the office, please go in.”
The assistant spoke up and reached out to open the door to the office.
Sally took Jason inside. The office was bright and spacious, luxuriously furnished, and inside, on a row of shelves, there were a number of collectibles with a great artistic aesthetic.
Jordan Morris saw Sally coming and got up to welcome her, he was in his early fifties, his body was slightly blessed, his face looked very kind, and at this moment he said with a smile, “Miss Herthum came personally, sorry to welcome you, sorry to welcome you.”
“Mr. Morris is very kind.” Sally smiled politely.
Jordan Morris’s gaze flickered to Jason, and his face immediately took on a slightly stricken look.
He still has some memories of Jason, who was also present at the party at the Bauhinia Villa. He witnessed the situation and saw Jason slapping Jaden, the young master of the Howard family, in public and throwing Jaden to the ground like a dead dog.
He did not expect that this time when Sally came to discuss with him, she would actually bring this man with her.
Jordan Morris, however, did not move and said with a smile, “Miss Herthum, please sit down please sit down – by the way, this is?”
“His name is Jason, and he’s a minister in my company.” Sally said with a frank face.
“Mr. Miller, right? Hello there.” Jordan Morris said with a leathery smile, then looked at Sally and said, “Miss Herthum, I would like to talk to you alone about the cooperation between our two companies in the energy field.”
Sally heard what Jordan Morris was saying and she said, “It’s okay for Jason to be there.”
Originally, the details of the two companies’ areas of cooperation are extremely private, but Sally has never treated Jason as an outsider, so she doesn’t mind Jason’s presence.
Jordan Morris doesn’t think so.
Jason laughed and said, “Miss Herthum, Mr. Morris is right. This is supposed to be a consultative conversation between your senior leaders, and besides, I haven’t been involved in the energy field, so it’s not very useful for me to stay. I’ll wait for you outside.”
“Jason-”
Sally opened her mouth and was about to say something.
Jason, however, smiled and said, “Miss Herthum, it’s okay, I’ll be right outside. Just give me a shout if you need anything.”
With that, Jason was already walking towards the outside of the office.
“Mr. Miller please bother to wait in the parlor for a moment while my assistant entertains you.” Jordan Morris said with a smile.
Jason did not feel anything, this kind of discussion involving the core business of the company, Jordan Morris does not want a third person to be present, he can also understand.
Led by an assistant, Jason went to sit in an adjacent parlor.
The assistant was also attentive, serving tea and water, and asking Jason what help he needed.
Jason also did not want to bother people, is to let this assistant first go busy things, he sat alone and wait a while on it.
About half an hour later, Jason saw that Sally still hadn’t come out.
He frowned and vaguely guessed that this time the negotiation will not be easy, if Sally came over before Jordan Morris side has the will to cooperate, not to talk for so long.
Inside the office.
The negotiations between Sally and Jordan Morris have indeed reached a certain impasse.
“Mr. Morris, didn’t you initially agree to cooperate with my company in the energy sector last time? Why do you want to think about it this time?” Sally asked.
Jordan Morris said, “I did previously send someone to study the Herthum Group’s development and planning in energy, and overall, I was satisfied. However, since this is a partnership, we should be open and honest, right?”
“This is natural.” Sally nodded.
“But my investigators have learned that your energy department is conducting a research project on new energy sources.” Jordan Morris opened his mouth and said, “But Miss Herthum has not disclosed anything about this new energy project to me, so after a board meeting, I could not cooperate with your company immediately. Because I do not know the direction and use of your research on this new energy project, and your company has not made it public, my board of directors could not pass it.”
Sally immediately knew that Jordan Morris was referring to the Zeus Project that the Herthum Group was working on. This project was the core secret of the Herthum Group in the field of new energy, so how could it be disclosed to the public?
It is as if Betastone Company will not disclose to Herthum Group in the three core industries of biomass, new fuel cells and new energy vehicles.
So Jordan Morris’s comment is a spiteful one, so to speak.
“How does Mr. Morris think we can both work together?” Sally asked.
Jordan Morris smiled and said, “My company has been developing in the field of energy for many years, so the technology is definitely more comprehensive and advanced than your company. I can provide technology in the field of energy, provided Miss Herthum agrees to involve my technical staff in the research projects of your energy department.”
This shameless old thief!
Sally can’t help but to curse out, Jordan Morris this is almost the same as Herthum Group will Zeus Project directly to Betastone Company.
“Mr. Morris, I’m sorry I can’t agree to this condition. It’s like if I let my company’s technical staff participate in the research of your core energy industry field, can Mr. Morris agree to it?” Sally asked rhetorically.
Jordan Morris thought about it and said, “I think anything is possible. If Miss Herthum’s side can be open and honest, our two companies can each contribute to the holding and set up a brand new subsidiary to research the core industries of our two companies in the field of new energy.”
The Zeus Project is a big deal, and Sally really doesn’t want another company to get involved.
At that moment, she said politely, “Let me discuss this with the board. Other than that, doesn’t Mr. Morris see any other way to cooperate?”
“I think this is the best way to work together.” Jordan Morris spoke up and continued, “Miss Herthum might want to consider it, and I’m ready to wait for your decision on my end.”
“All right, then, I’m sorry to bother you today. When I have a decision from my side, I will inform Mr. Morris first,” Sally spoke up, as she stood up.
“Good, then I’ll be waiting to hear from you.” Jordan Morris smiled, and also stood up to see Sally out the door.
The office door opened and Sally saw Jason standing outside the door, which made her heart warm.
“Done talking?” Jason asked.
Sally nodded as she said, “Let’s go first. mr. Morris, then we’ll leave first.”
“Take your time, I’ll deliver it here.”
Jordan Morris smiled, and when Jason and Sally’s figures were far away, the smile on his face narrowed and rose, and the gaze in his eyes became somewhat gloomy and cold.
Jordan Morris returned to his office and, after closing the door, he took out his cell phone and immediately made a call.
