Chapter 59 The Share Agreement
The shareholders sitting in the conference room were all people in the business field.
It quickly became clear what the Winston Group's intentions were. Although The Winston Group had no personal relationship with the DeRoss Group, they extended a helping hand just when the DeRoss Group was facing difficulties.
While it seemed that The Winston Group had goodwill toward The DeRoss Group, they only provided an intangible project.
Mr. Smith spoke up, "Regardless, this project benefits The DeRoss Group. Since construction won't start for another three years, let's discuss this case again then. Now, Emily, please update us on the major projects currently being progressed by the DeRoss Group so that we have an idea."
Emily opened the file and slowly began reporting, "The DeRoss Group has a total of three major projects, two of which are nearing completion, and one is still in progress. Additionally, the company is in talks for new projects---"
"So, you mean to say that out of the vast DeRoss Group, there's only one profitable project at the moment?" Taylor sounded displeased. "We need to secure more projects, or else the financial report for the second half of the year will look bleak."
"Mr. Taylor, the company has been trying its best to secure projects," Emily said softly.
Taylor responded coldly, "Tell me, who are the clients that you need to negotiate with? Let's see if I know any of them."
Emily froze for a moment. "I apologize, Mr. Taylor, I didn't prepare the client list. I will send it to your email after the meeting."
She had been preoccupied by Haley recently and hadn't been able to focus on her work for a long time. She had no idea which clients the company was negotiating with and what projects they were working on.
Frank was well aware of her situation and spoke up, "Currently, we are in contact with three important clients. One is Mr. Brown from the Brown family, which is engaged in ocean shipping. They have a component in their production line that our DeRoss Group factory can manufacture. The other is Mr. Hill from the Hill family, involved in heavy machinery---"
"Sorry, I must interrupt," Haley calmly interjected. "Father, you got it wrong."
Emily weakly responded, "Haley, Dad is speaking. How can you interrupt? It's very impolite."
Frank had an icy expression, anger evident in his eyes.
Haley sitting here was like a thorn in his side, and now she interrupted him while he was speaking. He wanted to throw her out.
"I'm not being impolite. I care about the dignity of our clients," Haley said calmly. "The Brown family is engaged in heavy machinery, while the Hill family is involved in ocean shipping. Father, you mixed up the information on these two clients. Everyone here is from the DeRoss Group, so it's fine to make mistakes, but if such a mistake happens in a public setting, the Brown and Hill families may never collaborate with the DeRoss Group again."
Frank's face turned pale.
Being exposed publicly by his own daughter made him angry. However, what his daughter said was right. If he flipped the table, he would appear angry and lose his ground.
He snorted. "You seem to know a lot."
"Haley, how do you know about the Brown and the Hill families?" Emily's eyes gleamed with a trace of darkness. "These two conglomerates are not local to Cuenca. You just returned home, so how could you know so much? Did you sneak a look at the company's client information?"
Frank narrowed his eyes. "The client information is classified as S-level confidential files. Did you sneak a look?"
Haley chuckled. "Father, why do you believe everything Emily says? If it weren't for me, people would think you're Emily's puppet."
She turned her gaze to the shareholders present and calmly said, "I am the daughter of the DeRoss family, so I have always paid attention to the DeRoss Group's developments. In these four years, I have never let go of the responsibility on my shoulders. Several years ago, I noticed the need for cooperation between the Brown and Hill families in this field. However, at that time, I wasn't an employee of the DeRoss Group, so I could only watch from the sidelines. Now that I am part of The DeRoss Group, I naturally have to share what I know. Don't you agree, fellow shareholders?"
