Scarlett refused Brycen's request, looked at Caroline, and gestured for her to go on," Pray continue, Miss Moody." After being scolded by Brycen, Caroline then performed even worse.
Brycen scowled his displeasure. But the formality of the occasion and Scarlett's refusal made him have to hold his temper.
That ten minutes report was a great ordeal for both Brycen and Caroline.
Caroline subconsciously looked at Scarlett at the end of her report.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMeeting Scarlett's charming eyes, Caroline becflustered and almost lost her footing when she stepped down from the stage.
Katherine reached out to steady her.
Caroline took a look at Scarlett and felt embarrassed.
Then, she moved to her seat in despondency and was terrified to look at Brycen.
There was an awkward silence, and a tense air filled the reception room.
However, only Oschane Corporation's negotiators felt that way.
Scarlett was silent to wait for the other side to speak first.
She did not mean to embarrass Caroline. The accident that day was no big deal after all, and it was over.
Besides, she had said those things to Devin that day, and then they were quits.
She gave them a rough start in order to bring the price down to her expected price range.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe nervousness and panic of the other side proved the effectiveness of her approach.
"Ms. Reed, Caroline has reported the details. So..." Though Brycen was awkward, he asked Scarlett what she thought.
Scarlett also bluntly repeated the problems Caroline had mentioned and delivered a knockout blow to Brycen in the end, "Mr. Howard, as far as | know, your company's situation is far more complicated and worse than what you said. Secretary Lawrence has discovered that the reason for your company's revenue decline over the last two years is not only the product upgrades are too slow to keep up with the market changes mentioned by Miss Moody, but also because of your company's public relations management. Three years ago, several customers suffered from severe facial allergies after using the face cream produced by your company. | don't think much of your handling, frankly." Scarlett's words make Brycen unable to refute, "Well, what's your offer, Ms. Reed?" Scarlett replied with a smile, "Four billion dollars." After a little pause, she added, "I'm sure you understand that the price is quite reasonable. ‘Oschane’ is a brand with a long history. | don't deny that. However, that accident has tarnished the brand's public image. It will cost a large number of human and financial resources to revitalize the brand. Beyond that, your company property inventory suggests that many valuable machines are nearing the end of their service lives. You must be well aware of the cost of replacing the machine, | suppose." Scarlett then took a look at Caroline and said to Brycen, "Mr. Howard, for the sake of Miss Moody, that's the best price | can offer. It's okay if you can't accept it. Future cooperation is possible." Brycen was rendered completely passive in that situation.
Brycen knew very well that Scarlett was right.
Although Tsing Corporation's offer was attractive, they would completely alter the brand from the original 'Oschane’.
On the contrary, MoCorporation could remain 'Oschane’. That was exactly what Brycen looked for.
