CHAPTER 1261 I CHANGED MY MIND
The man thought he misheard Xiang Gao, so he raised his head and looked at him.
"How much did you say Lin Group had?”
"Not much," replied Xiang Gao swiftly before standing up. "It appears the Chinese Chamber of Commerce has standards, and Lin Group doesn't qualify for your support. So let's forget it."
Xiang Gao turned and prepared to leave, but the man called him back.
"Wait up!" Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
The man immediately smiled ingratiatingly.
Hundreds of billions in market value?
That was an enormous business!
They could make quite the killing with even just 20% off its profits. Since it was such a potentially huge deal, he couldn't let Xiang Gao walk away.
He immediately stood up and pulled out a form as he beamed brightly and he walked over.
"Hold on. I think there is some misunderstanding between us.”
The man reached his hand out and looked at Xiang Gao. Although he seemed polite, there was an undisguisable look of contempt on his face as he said, "I'm Chen Guo, the deputy operations director of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.
But Xiang Gao only glanced at him without reaching out his hand.
Chen Guo was impolite when Xiang Gao tried to be friendly. Now that he heard how huge Lin Group was and the amount of money they could bankroll, his attitude changed. Xiang Gao didn't want to indulge Chen Guo.
Lin Group never needed to fawn on anyone else!
"I'm sorry, but I changed my mind," replied Xiang Gao. "My boss said it takes fate for deals to work, and Lin Group clearly doesn't have the fortune of working with the Chinese Chamber of Commerce."
Then Xiang Gao turned to leave straight away without even looking back.
Chen Guo looked dumbstruck as Xiang Gao left, then he slapped the form on the table and sneered, "You don't know what's good for you! I'll be here waiting for you to beg the Chinese Chamber of Commerce! Without our support, can your foreign expansion go smoothly?"
Chen Guo smiled coldly.
If he messed up with such a huge deal, his higher-ups were going to hold him accountable.
"Get over here!” shouted Chen Guo to the secretary outside. She ran in immediately, "Yes, Mr Chen.”
"Keep an eye on Lin Group."
"Yes, Mr Chen."
Chen Guo didn't think that Xiang Gao would dare to not return.
After they had suffered enough, they would come looking for the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. By then, they would have to pay more than 20% of their profit.
Chen Guo had seen his fair share of people with a temper. In the end, they all obediently bowed to them or ran back to China with their tails between their legs.
It wasn't easy to make a living abroad.
Xiang Gao immediately went over to Jiang Ning's room after returning to the hotel and told him everything.
"Sure enough, they are best at bullying their own kind," said Jiang Ning as he looked at Xiang Gao. "Are you planning to bow to them? Giving them 20% profit ensures that our expansion abroad will go without a hitch."
"Lin Group's profits are for doing good deeds. We can't use it to pay creeps like them."
Xiang Gao had a clear understanding of Lin Group's corporate culture. Then he continued, "Moreover if I agreed to do it, I would be damaging Lin Group's reputation.
I just can't do it."
Jiang Ning smiled as he nodded and said, "Not bad, Gao! Well done. We already gave the Chinese Chamber of Commerce a chance, but they didn't appreciate it."
If Chen Guo were here to hear Jiang Ning's words, he would probably burst out laughing.
Give the Chinese Chamber of Commerce a chance?
These days, no one dared to speak of giving chances to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. Jiang Ning was absolutely arrogant!
Only Xiang Gao knew that Jiang Ning wasn't talking big. Jiang Ning wanted to give the Chinese Chamber of Commerce a chance to share in their profits and do something meaningful to change
their contemptible image back home.
But it was obviously hard for a greedy man to quit his habit, and they only learnt after they got hurt.
