Chapter 185
‘What? He thought I took a commission from the middle?’ I couldn’t believe his imagination.
I couldn't help but laugh. "Since you said so, I declined the offer over there."
After saying that, I walked away.
"He didn't earn a penny from this. He only helped because of my reputation. The reason why Edward didn't tell you is because he didn't want to exhaust his favors," Marry said.
"Three production lines, not to mention Sevan City, may not even be found domestically. Otherwise, Edward wouldn't have to rack his brains for just one production line. You should understand how difficult this matter is!" Marry added.
Mr. Gonzalez felt a bit embarrassed when he heard this, immediately lowering his posture. "John, I'm straightforward and impulsive. Please don't mind!"
I wanted to facilitate this matter and help out, but agreeing in such haste made me feel uncomfortable!
I thought, ‘Damn, I help out of goodwill without taking a penny. How dare you still question me? If you were so capable, why not find connections yourself?’
I didn't say anything or leave either. Marry quickly said, "John, calm down. Mr. Gonzalez didn't mean it. If you helped Mr. Gonzalez, he wouldn't mistreat you."
"Yes, John, I misspoke." Mr. Gonzalez said, "As long as you help me, I will treat you well as a thank you!"
Marry added, "Mr. Gonzalez, John runs a media company. If you appreciate him, you can support his business!"
"So John is in the media business. That's great!" Mr. Gonzalez, being astute, understood her hint. "My company hasn't found a partner for advertising cooperation in the second half of the year. As long as you help me with this favor, I will repay you!"
In the end, there was still a premise here, which was helping him out!
No matter how I thought about it, I felt like I was at a loss!
But for Marry’s sake, I suppressed my displeasure. "Mr. Gonzalez, you're too generous!"
Mr. Gonzalez asked, "John, are you still dealing with MH Manufacturing Company?"
I nodded. "Yes, if you agree to the premium acquisition, I'll call back and arrange for you to meet this afternoon."
"Great, that's fantastic!" Mr. Gonzalez smiled and nodded. "But, John, how about this? A fifteen percent premium is indeed a bit high. Instead of giving this money to someone else, why not give it to you? You lower it by 5%, and I'll give you half. How about that?"
Honestly, I was tempted, as this operation was very common in business.
I was becoming a millionaire in an instant.
But I couldn't do that.
The Allen Family helped out of goodwill, and favors were the hardest to repay in this world.
I bluntly said, "Yes, I can indeed try to negotiate a lower price, but the effort put in is far more than just this three million dollars!"
Mr. Gonzalez looked at me, his eyes seeming complicated. He sighed and then said, "Ah, I was too greedy. I owe you a big favor for this."
"Let's talk about the favor later. It's not too late to discuss it after the production line is in place." I smiled. "After all, helping you is also helping myself. After this is done, please introduce me to more business opportunities, Mr. Gonzalez!"
"That's a given."
I walked aside and called Frank, arranging to meet at three in the afternoon.
Mr. Gonzalez was also excited upon learning this. This kind of thing couldn't be faked. After all, the Allen Family in Sevan City was unparalleled.
"Come on, John, let me introduce you to some old friends!" As he spoke, he took my hand warmly and introduced me to his friends.
He was helping me attract clients and business.
Surprisingly, there were indeed two potential partners among them. I quickly exchanged contact information with them and decided to visit them after the conference.
Compared to on-site cooperation, there were more potential partnerships.
When it comes to advertising placements, it was all about resources and channels.
I saw Steven walking around with Linda in the crowd. Unfortunately, Linda noticed me.
She looked puzzled, but she didn't greet me. After all, I was just a small assistant supervisor. It was indeed surprising to see me in such a place.
I smiled at her, and she quickly turned her head, seemingly deliberately avoiding me.
I thought, 'Your husband was flirting with other women earlier. Being betrayed by your husband must be very uncomfortable, right?'
I looked at the trading volume on the big screen. Skyliho Group ranked third, with a total trading volume of five million dollars.
Second was TX Media, with a trading volume of six million dollars!
And first was TY Media, with nine million dollars!
The top three trades reached twenty million dollars, which was already very good.
For advertising placements, the profit margins were huge. A department head accidentally revealed at the dinner table that the company's net profit was fifty percent or more, with some of it hidden from outsiders.
I searched the crowd for Joseph. Unfortunately, I didn't see him and didn't know what he looked like.
I asked quietly, "Marry, do you know the CEO of TY Media?"
"TY Media?" She pursed her lips, "That flashy guy over there!"
I followed her gaze and saw a man in his thirties catching my eye.
He was tall and thin, wearing a suit with sequins. He had hair styled, pale skin and deep eye sockets, looking like he indulged too much.
He was accompanied by a woman dressed provocatively, even more so than Grace before.
Grace was sexy. But she was provocative.
With a thin skirt and two crystal patches inside, barely concealed, even the underwear was clearly visible!
Was this really a media conference, or an audition for adult film actresses?
A scumbag with a provocative woman was a perfect match!
"Is that Joseph?" I asked.
Marry nodded. "Yes, that's him. Do you see the woman next to him? He has this woman provide sexual services to lure those bosses!"
