Chapter 499: Each Has His Own Agenda
Song Wenchang then pointed to Zhang Jingxin beside him and introduced her to Clee Barber with a smile, "This is Zhang Jingxin, Tang Yun's former vice president. I believe Mr. Barber has already met her."
"certainly."
Cribber nodded, shook hands with Zhang Jingxin again, and turned to Song Wenchang and said, "I'm sorry, what did you mean by 'before'?"
"He is my employee now," Song Wenchang replied.
"So that's how it is." Cribber pretended to understand something and immediately extended his hand, saying, "Please take a seat, both of you."
As soon as Song Wenchang and Zhang Jingxin sat down, secretary Abby came over with two cups of coffee. After placing them in front of them, she turned around and walked out gracefully.
"I wonder what brings you two here?" Cribber asked directly.
"We are here to cooperate with Mr. Barber," Song Wenchang replied.
Cribber frowned unconsciously, and his expression became stiff. He didn't know why, but he hated the word so much that he even felt uncomfortable after hearing it.
"What kind of cooperation?"
"We know about your company's cooperation with Tangyun Group."
Seeing the displeasure on Cribber's face, Song Wenchang no longer hesitated, but instead gained a bit of confidence. "I came here in person to discuss with Mr. Barber about replacing Tang Yun Group and collaborating with you."
After listening to Song Wenchang's words, Cribber leaned back in his chair, looking like he was completely relaxed.
After a moment of silence, he asked, "Why should I choose you?"
"Because I can give you more profit." Song Wenchang's eyes flashed, and he answered decisively: "Tangyun Group only gives you 5% of the net profit for each product, but I can give you 30%. Compared to my own strength, I am more suitable to be your partner than him."
Song Wenchang's proposal was actually quite reasonable, and the amount was relatively acceptable to both parties. Therefore, it can be said that Song Wenchang was sincere.
If he only thought about it from the perspective of interests, Song Wenchang knew that this condition was enough to impress Cribber, but he was not naive enough to think that the other party would agree to what he said now.
The cooperation between Tang Shuo and Cribber itself has problems, and it is very likely that they are not issues of interests, and Song Wenchang is just testing the other party's attitude.
"I'm sorry, I can't agree to your terms."
Kribabur shook his head and said with great regret, "We have signed a contract with Tang Shuo and we need to abide by the spirit of the contract."
Song Wenchang sneered in his heart and carefully observed Cribber's expression.
The spirit of contract might really exist, but he had only read about it in books since he was a child. He was also absolutely certain that if given the chance, Cribber would want Tang Shuo to die sooner than he did.
What's more, after Burberry learned of Tang Shuo's death some time ago, it immediately began to put pressure on Tang Yun. If Jiang Tiantong had not handled it properly, the two sides would probably have already torn their faces apart.
Although he knew that Cribber was talking nonsense, Song Wenchang had to save his face at this time.
He pondered for a moment, then said, "What if we can help Mr. Barber take down Tang Shuo before anything else?"
Cribber raised his eyebrows and looked at Song Wenchang with great doubt, but he did not rush to make any statement.
"Perhaps Mr. Barber doesn't know that the Tang Yun Group has been able to hold on until now because of the support of a Chinese family." Song Wenchang continued, "And I can help Mr. Barber deal with that family and cut off the Tang Yun Group's source of funds."
"Idiot." Cribber muttered silently in his heart.
This was the first time he had heard what Song Wenchang said. When he and the Lawrence family had put pressure on Tang Yun before, they had already realized that there must be someone behind Tang Yun, so that's why the Lawrence family sent people to attack Jiang Tiantong.
If the other party could come to Song Wenchang before he met Tang Shuo, then he might really consider the cooperation.
But judging from the current situation, there is absolutely no possibility for him and the other party to cooperate.
According to the agreement signed yesterday, the first payment was transferred to Tang Yun Group's account just before he met the two men, and should have arrived by now.
In the short term, Tang Yun will not have any funding problems and may even be able to continue its previous expansion pace.
However, he showed a very surprised expression on his face. After looking at Song Wenchang for a while, he replied, "That's not impossible. If Tang Yun Group goes bankrupt due to financial problems, I will of course choose a new partner."
Boom boom boom…
There was a sudden knock on the office door, and Secretary Abby pushed the door open and said, "Mr. Barber, the meeting time has come."
A hint of doubt flashed in Cribber's eyes, but he quickly stood up and said to Song Wenchang, "Mr. Song, let's stop here for today's discussion."
Although Song Wenchang wanted to continue talking with the other party and even lobby for some support from Cribber, he could not stay any longer in this situation, so he had to decide to come back at another time.
After all, he was only here to cooperate with the other party, not to beg Cribber.
…
After leaving the office, Zhang Jingxin, who had been silent the entire time, asked, "Who is behind Tang Yun?"
"The Jiang family," Song Wenchang replied, "is Jiang Tiantong's family."
"Is it amazing?" Zhang Jingxin asked again.
"There is no other one like him in China." Song Wenchang answered concisely.
Zhang Jingxin clicked her tongue and then asked, "Do we really want to cooperate with the Burberry family in this way?"
"It seems Cribber's attitude is very vague, and he hasn't said anything useful at all." Zhang Jingxin pressed the elevator button and continued, "Even if you really help them bring down Tang Yun as you said, there's no guarantee that Burberry will choose you as their partner."
"This guy is a little harder to deal with than I thought." Song Wenchang nodded, but soon his tone became stern: "But no matter how powerful the fox is, it can't defeat a skilled hunter. I will find a way."
…
After Song Wenchang and the other man left, Cribber asked, "What happened?"
The meeting was just a reason that Abby and he had agreed upon before. There was actually no meeting now, it was just an excuse.
Secretary Abby replied, "The Lawrence family has arrived and is now in the reception room."
"Is that Todd?"
"No." Abby shook her head and said, "It's his son Jimmy."
"Jimmy?" Cribber straightened his slicked-back hair and repeated in confusion, obviously not having heard of this name.
"right."
Abby replied, "He said his family has handed the matter over to him, so he hopes to talk to you."
"Okay." Cribber nodded and said, "I'll be there right away."
…
Cribber walked into the reception room and was startled when he saw the young man sitting on the sofa.
Did the Lawrence family give up on this matter? Why did they send a half-grown child?
Jimmy, who was sitting on the sofa in the reception room, had a good look. When he saw Chris Barber come in, he immediately stood up and said very respectfully, "Mr. Barber, nice to meet you."
Cribber nodded, walked over and hugged the other person, then sat down and said, "Why didn't your father come in person?"
"My father's leg injury recurred, so he sent me here to handle this matter and gave me the decision-making power," Jimmy replied.
"So that's how it is."
Cribber nodded and then asked, "How are you going to do this?"
"I need Mr. Barber's cooperation." Jimmy began to tell his plan.
At first, there was a hint of a smile on Cribber's face, but as the other party spoke out his plan, the smile on his face began to gradually disappear.
Until the end, Cribber's face was solemn, and there was a bit of surprise in his eyes when he looked at Jimmy.
