Although Ye Chen was very grateful to Caroline for telling him such an important secret, he also needed to be more cautious.
It would make sense if a friend told him, but he and Caroline had never even met or heard of each other before; they were complete strangers.
Logically speaking, such a major secret should not be told to anyone, especially not to the owner of the oil field himself.
However, Caroline did the opposite and told him the truth. As the saying goes, there must be something fishy going on when things are not normal. Ye Chen had to be more cautious in a foreign country.
"I would like to cooperate with Mr. Ye to develop this new oil field together."
Caroline spoke.
"To these large families in the Middle East, Mr. Ye and I are both outsiders. Rather than cooperating with them, I would rather cooperate with Mr. Ye."
"cooperate?"
Ye Chen was somewhat curious.
“Yes, it’s about cooperation. I’ve heard that Mr. Ye is no ordinary person, but it seems that Mr. Ye’s home is in Shanghai, China. This is his first time in Dubai, which is too far away. His connections and influence can’t reach here.”
“Our family is closer to here, and more importantly, our family has been doing business in the Middle East for a long time, for one or two decades now, and we have more connections and influence locally.”
"We've been in the oil business for over a decade, so we have a lot of experience in this area."
"Moreover, if any problems arise, it will be more convenient for our family to step in."
"Mr. Ye will cooperate with me. He will then grant us the development rights to this large oil field, and I will arrange for people to be responsible for extraction, construction, and sales..."
"Mr. Ye can simply wait to count his money."
Caroline spoke with great sincerity.
How many do you want?
Ye Chen continued to ask questions.
"Because the subsequent development and construction are all handled by our family, which is very troublesome and time-consuming, so I might want a little more."
"I want 40%, we'll split it 60/40."
Caroline answered.
"Forty percent?"
Although Ye Chen was surprised by the answer, he felt a little relieved.
Ye Chen would find it strange if Caroline said she only wanted "one or two percent". She would tell him such a big secret, and the subsequent development and sales would take so much effort and time, and she only wanted a little profit.
That's definitely a ghost!
Ye Chen felt that Caroline's request was more sincere and reasonable.
"Things are a bit rushed, Mr. Ye, there's no need to make a decision in a hurry."
Caroline spoke.
"Mr. Ye, you can think about it carefully."
Those major families are still observing each other and haven't made a move yet; there's still some time.
Afterwards, Caroline and Ye Chen exchanged contact information, and Caroline then had the tall young woman escort Ye Chen away.
After sending Ye Chen back, the tall young woman asked Caroline in surprise.
"Boss, didn't you say before that you were going to split the profits 50/50? Why did you suddenly change your mind and only want 40%?"
The tall young woman was very puzzled.
The cooperation involves not only developing sales, but also dealing with powerful families in the Middle East when Mr. Ye is not around. This is more troublesome and requires more strength and connections.
A 50/50 split is the most correct approach.
Now the boss has voluntarily given up 10% of the profits. Although it may not seem like much, in reality, even just 10% is an absolutely terrifying number.
Why did the boss suddenly change her mind after seeing Ye Chen? This puzzled her greatly. Could it be that the boss had taken a liking to him...?
"Look at this..."
Caroline didn't answer directly, but instead handed a photo to the tall young woman.
The tall young woman took the photo and was immediately stunned. This Mr. Ye had so many identities, and each one was quite extraordinary.
The photo shows none other than Ye Chen's business card, which was circulating at the gathering just now.
Caroline's connections in the Middle East are terrifying; she obtained this photo before Ye Chen arrived.
It was this business card that made Caroline willingly give up 10% of her profits.
"I'm taking the initiative to be friendly now so that there will be more opportunities to cooperate again in the future."
Compared to their business in the Middle East, their family has more and larger businesses in Europe, and there may be opportunities for cooperation in the future.
Caroline values Ye Chen's important international roles, such as being a shareholder of Kering Group.
"Of course, the premise is that Ye Chen's character and reputation are not problematic. If there are problems, then there will be no next cooperation."
Caroline added.
In the business world, a person's character and reputation are very important.
While the two were chatting, Ye Chen returned to his spacious presidential suite.
Ning Shuang and the others hadn't returned yet, and the room was quiet, giving Ye Chen a chance to think things over.
First, that oil field suddenly transformed from a medium-sized oil field into a large oil field with terrifying value. This was a windfall, a great thing!
As long as extraction proceeds smoothly, a steady stream of funds will flow into their accounts. This is not a large oil field, but a giant money printing machine.
This will be of great help to Ye Chen in dealing with the Ye family in the capital in the future, as well as in developing his own business empire.
Of course, along with the gains came various troubles and crises. So many powerful Middle Eastern families had their eyes on that new oil field, and who knew what might happen?
Ye Chen needed to be prepared, just in case. After all, they were abroad, and they couldn't be careless.
However, one thing is certain: now that this large oil field has fallen into his hands and become his property, Ye Chen will absolutely not give it up!
This oil field will now belong to the "Ye" family!
Not only these few powerful families in the Middle East, but no enemy can take it away!
Secondly, there's the matter of Caroline.
Ye Chen took out his phone and sent two messages. Putting aside whether he agreed to cooperate with Caroline, Ye Chen wanted to investigate this Caroline first.
It's very passive to be unaware of the other party's situation when the other party knows your situation but you don't.
Ye Chen sent two messages, one to his employees, instructing them to investigate Caroline and her family internationally, particularly in Europe.
Ye Chen sent another message to Moises, asking him to inquire about Caroline's various information in the Middle East.
As a result, Moises replied instantly shortly after Ye Chen sent him a message.
Moreover, Moises' reply greatly surprised Ye Chen!
