A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

"Mr. Gu, I'm sorry to tell you this, but my company... We've already signed a contract with the KING Group. We were struggling for so long just to stay afloat. Unfortunately, we're a hair away from bankruptcy. I had no other choice but to cooperate with them. I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, I can't," the factory owner said apologetically.

Jacob focused his gaze on the cup of chrysanthemum tea in front of him. He had an amused expression on his face and couldn't stop chuckling to himself. A few moments later, he casually stood up, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured tea for the raw material factory owner. After doing so, he sat back down and took a sip of his tea. He then raised four fingers and said, "Remember my offer? What if we multiply it by this much?"

The owner was a little shocked by his sudden proposal. When Jacob's assistant called him, the offer was only twice the price of Darren's, but now, it was an astounding four times of that! All of a sudden, the owner couldn't think of a single reason to reject Jacob's offer.

It seemed like fortune favored the bold in business world. The unfortunate circumstance of being so close to bankruptcy had made the owner of the raw material factory cooperate with the KING Group. If only he had had the courage to wait for a better offer, he wouldn't be stuck in this predicament. Although the KING Group had given them a decent deal, they didn't gain anything special from it.

But now, Jacob was offering an insane deal. It was truly enticing. Moreover, everyone in the business world knew that Jacob and the HT Group treated their partners very well.

Upon noticing that the owner was still hesitating, Jacob put his teacup down and smiled. "I think your company's current growth is stagnant. The industry you're in is very competitive, and the companies around you won't hesitate to overproduce goods. I know this must be difficult for you. But I'm sure you're a person who wants a better future for your business, right?"

The tea tasted bitter, but the fact that he was putting a stop to Darren's momentum made it taste sweet. Jacob took another sip and said, "The KING Group is in a very good condition right now. It will definitely try to find a raw material supplier with higher quality goods as time goes on. It's very likely that you will be replaced any day now. You'd better find a stable tree to lean against. Don't you think so?"

These words were the last nail in the coffin. The owner of the raw material factory couldn't agree more. As he sat opposite Jacob, his facade of a shrewd businessman was completely gone.

The cup of tea that Jacob poured for him was already cold, but he drank it up in one gulp. "Mr. Gu, this tea is wonderful and so are the mutual benefits if we choose to work with you. I hope to have a pleasant partnership with you." The owner of the raw material factory reached out to shake Jacob's hand.

Jacob complied and blissfully replied, "I'm sure we will."

The owner excitedly signed the contract. After that, Jacob walked the owner and his assistant out.
