The Spare Wife

Chapter 253 Negotiating the Partnership

Abigail, in no hurry, knew that patience was the key to business.

“Mr. Fernandez, you approached me because of Alana’s reputation, right?” She casually lifted her teacup and blew gently on the steam.

Indeed, this partnership was very beneficial for Ronaldo.

Artistry had no price, and her reputation could elevate the value of his pearls. In actuality, he would not suffer a loss even if he made a slightly smaller profit. Once his pearls were included in Alana’s designs, they would no longer be ordinary sea pearls but artist–approved gems. Businesses seeking to ride on Alana’s wave of popularity would choose to buy pearls from him.

His pearls were good but lacked recognition, which meant they could not fetch a high price. In this day and age, any product would need a celebrity’s endorsement to find buyers. How else did online influencers make money?

Ms. Quinn, it’s a pity you’re only an artist.” Ronaldo chuckled with a hint of resignation.

“Peacock overtones are very precious, but having over a thousand of them suggests you have trouble selling them at your desired price. By selling them to me at a discount this time, your peacock overtones won’t remain unsellable once my designs generate popularity online.” Abigail eloquently pressed on, negotiating for a better price. If she was going to buy, it had to be below the market price.

After many years in business, this was the first time Ronaldo felt like he was getting the short end of the stick. He drank his tea, then bowed his head and sighed. “All right…”
