Chapter 817
Paul had not been involved in the company's affairs for many years, and today he was just brought here by Luna on a whim, but he was deeply moved by what he heard. What frustrates Paul the most is that in his lifetime, the Chapman family had never been able to break into the top three of the Madison elite circle.
"Paul, say something. We trust your judgment," one of the directors complimented. "Now that Mr. Chapman senior has been poisoned and his health is not what it used to be, the Chapman family can only rely on you."
"Yes, Mr. Chapman junior, you should return to the company," several shareholders persuaded in succession. "In recent years, the Chamberlain family has developed rapidly and has become the second largest enterprise in Madison. I believe we should not miss this opportunity."
"Right, no matter what private grudges there are, if it weren't for the e-commerce venture we established with the Chamberlain family, the Chapman family would not have developed rapidly in recent years." one shareholder urged.
"Mr. Chapman junior, lead our Chapman family to greater glory," another shareholder advised.
Paul was filled with a surge of enthusiasm by what everyone said. Although he had been in seclusion for many years, his ambition still burned within him. His previous retirement was purely due to health issues, and over the years, his health had been recuperating and had improved significantly, and suddenly, a sense of ambition welled up in him again.
"Mr. Chapman junior, I’m speaking frankly." A director leaned in towards Paul and whispered, "Although Mr. Chapman senior designated Cassie as the heir. Cassie never really been a child of the Chapman family. We, the Chapman Group, cannot possibly change to the Brooks Group in the future."
Paul's expression changed instantly. If no one had mentioned it, he hadn't realized this matter. Luna's thin lips curved slightly as she turned and said, "Mr. Chapman junior. I've heard Felix mention the establishment of a joint venture several times before. It's indeed feasible. Many people want to take shares now. If it weren't for our two families' marriage alliance, Felix wouldn't have considered the Chapman family first for such a good case. Of course, with tens of billions invested, it definitely requires someone with your courage to make a decision."
Paul took a deep breath and slapped the table. "Alright, it's decided then."
"Grandpa, what's been decided?" Cassie icily retorted.
The office door suddenly opened, and Cassie walked in with a smile, clicking in high heels. She was dressed in a white suit, efficient yet not lacking in femininity.
"The matter of establishing a joint venture with the Chamberlain family, I think it's very feasible," Paul said with smile. "Cassie, why are you here today?"
"Dad said Luna returned to the company today, so he asked me to come and have a look." Cassie glanced meaningfully at Luna and Felix. "I didn't expect that my sister would have something big to handle on her first day."
"That’s also for the development of the company," Luna said modestly. "Moreover, the Chamberlain family has been preparing for half a year. We can't delay any longer."
Cassie's eyebrows twitched slightly. If it were the old Luna, she would have been complacent already. But today she was surprisingly patient, a change indeed since Vera went to jail.
"So, Grandpa, do you agree?" Cassie questioned and looked at Paul.
"I just heard Felix explain in detail, I’m quite satisfied. With net profit of over ten billion in the first year, why not do it?" Paul was now full of confidence.
Cassie frowned, explaining, "Grandpa, sometimes it's easy to... believe unrealistic promises made by others..."
"Cassie, I never make unrealistic promises. The Chamberlain family and the Chapman family are not new to collaboration. Everyone is well aware of my character. If I say it, I can do it. After all, the success of the Chamberlain family didn't come out for nowhere." Felix stated and raised his eyebrows. "I understand that you have a grudge against my wife. But when it comes to significant matters, it's not the time to dwell on minor grievances."
The implication was that if Cassie disagreed, it was directed at Luna.
Cassie inwardly sighed, Luna's tactics were quite formidable, subtly encouraging Paul to come to the company and make decisions. If Cassie didn't support it, then Paul would definitely be displeased with her.
