The leader was a man with an average build, dressed in a grey tailored cloth robe.
Seeing the Chaplin family arriving, Julia Stewart led her upper-level staff to greet them anxiously.
Lionel Yeager followed and quietly asked Sunny Tolkien, “Assistant Tolkien, who is that middle-aged man?”
Sunny Tolkien whispered back, “That middle-aged man is Chen Haisheng, the third brother of the current family owner of Chaplin Family, Jeremy Chaplin, and he is also the representative the Chaplin Family sent this time.”
“Oh…”
Lionel Yeager nodded with an understanding look.
“Welcome, Mr.
Chaplin, to East Beauty Pharmaceuticals!”
Julia Stewart smiled and extended her hand to Henry Chaplin.
“Sorry to have kept President Stewart waiting,” Henry Chaplin also extended his hand.
Although Henry said so, his face was arrogant, with no sign of apology.
The others of the Chaplin family also looked down upon the East Beauty Pharmaceuticals staff with disdainful expressions.
After all, they came from an ancient medical family in Arthur City, and their ancestors were even imperial doctors of the previous dynasty.
So no matter where they went, they would be treated as distinguished guests.
Thus, they had the capital to be proud.
Julia Stewart shook her head with a smile and said, “Mr.
Chaplin, we’ve only been waiting for a little while.
By the way, we’ve booked a hotel.
Later, after we finish the negotiations, everyone can go directly to the hotel to rest.”
Saying that, Julia Stewart gestured, “Please come inside, everyone!”
Afterwards, Julia Stewart led Henry Chaplin and others towards the company.
Lionel Yeager didn’t follow them inside, but called out to Sunny Tolkien, “Assistant Tolkien, come here!”
“Assistant Yeager, what’s the matter?”
Sunny Tolkien came over. freēwēbnovel.com
“I have urgent business to attend to at the Lewis Family, so I won’t be accompanying you guys upstairs.”
Lionel Yeager apologized and then took the documents and pen from Sunny Tolkien’s hand.
He opened the document, found a blank piece of paper, picked up the pen, and quickly scribbled a beauty secret formula on it.
Then he handed the document and pen back to Sunny Tolkien, “Assistant Tolkien, this is a beauty secret recipe I’ve written.
If President Stewart and the Chaplin Family can’t come to an agreement later, give this secret recipe to President Stewart.”
“Assistant Yeager…”
Before Sunny Tolkien could ask, Lionel Yeager hurriedly ran to the roadside and stopped a passing taxi before leaving the company.
She opened the document and looked at the secret formula Lionel Yeager had just written, mumbling, “Is this really a beauty secret formula?
Since Assistant Yeager said so, let’s show it to President Stewart later.”
With that, Sunny hurriedly closed the document and walked into the company.
At this moment, in the company lobby.
“Mr.
Chaplin, would you like to take a tour of our company first?”
Julia Stewart asked Henry Chaplin.
“What’s there to see in a small company?”
An ostentatiously dressed young woman behind Henry Chaplin suddenly said.
Hearing those words, Julia Stewart couldn’t help but frown and become displeased.
Although East Beauty Pharmaceuticals had not expanded beyond River City, it was not considered small in size either.
Being spoken about in such a manner, she naturally wasn’t happy.
But Henry Chaplin didn’t reprimand the woman; instead, he spoke indifferently, “President Stewart, let’s not bother with a tour and get straight to the point.”
“Alright then.”
Julia Stewart nodded.
Soon, Julia Stewart led everyone to the conference room on the twenty-ninth floor via the elevator.
Entering the conference room, everyone took their seats.
Julia Stewart also ordered several employees to bring coffee.
When the conference room door was closed, Henry Chaplin took a sip of his coffee and said, “President Stewart, I’ll not beat around the bush.
As long as you can afford it, I’ll sell you the beauty secret recipe handed down from our Chaplin ancestral lineage.”
“Mr.
Chaplin is indeed a man of his word.”
Julia Stewart nodded and said, “May I ask how much Mr.
Chaplin intends to sell it for?”
Henry Chaplin raised five fingers.
“Fifty million?”
Julia Stewart was taken aback.
Her budget was one hundred million in her mind.
If she could buy the secret formula for fifty million, she would save fifty million.
Henry Chaplin shook his head and said, “President Stewart, my asking price is not fifty million, but 500 million.”
Before the words even fell!
There was an uproar among the employees of East Beauty Pharmaceuticals!
“What?!
Five hundred million?!”
“Five hundred million is too much, that’s a blatant rip-off!”
“President Stewart, you must consider this carefully!”
People from East Beauty Pharmaceuticals all chimed in.
Julia Stewart’s eyebrows furrowed.
Her budget was one hundred million, but the other party’s asking price was five hundred million.
This has already far exceeded her budget.
Moreover, the company’s account currently cannot afford that much money.
Henry Chaplin squinted his eyes and said, “President Stewart, we came all the way from Arthur City with sincerity.
We hope that President Stewart won’t let our sincerity down.”
Julia Stewart took a deep breath and said, “Mr.
Chaplin, we want to see the secret formula first and check if it’s worth the price.”
“No problem.”
Henry Chaplin nodded and then took out a password box and started inputting the password.
Soon, Henry Chaplin opened the password box, took out a piece of golden cloth, and handed it to Julia Stewart.
Since the secret formula only had the medicinal materials listed, and important information like drug dosage and configuration method were not included, he dared to show it to Julia Stewart and others.
Julia Stewart took the golden cloth and glanced at it but couldn’t understand.
So, she handed the golden cloth to the people from the Research and Development group.
The R&D group people began to browse the secret formula recorded on the golden cloth.
A few minutes later.
An average middle-aged man with glasses said, “President Stewart, this is indeed the beauty secret recipe ‘Eight Whites Powder’ from the Imperial Court of the previous dynasty.
It is said that the queen and concubine of the previous dynasty also used this secret recipe, and it’s very precious.
However, this formula is just a defective one and not complete, which is a pity.”
This middle-aged man was the head of the R&D group, Irving Luther.
Henry Chaplin proudly said, “If this ‘Eight Whites Powder’ formula were complete, our asking price wouldn’t be just 500 million, but at least ten billion.”
Julia Stewart said, “Mr.
Chaplin, we are sincere in buying this secret recipe; we hope the price can be lowered.”
Irving Luther also put on a smile and said, “Mr.
Chaplin, we hope to establish a long-term partnership with the Chaplin family, so…”
Henry Chaplin interrupted, “Five hundred million is already the lowest price; we cannot go any lower.”
“This…”
Julia Stewart pursed her lips and suddenly found herself in a difficult position.
The smile on Irving Luther’s face also froze.
Henry Chaplin was too unreasonable; there was no room for negotiation.
“If you can’t afford it, then don’t buy it!”
“It’s not like your company is the only one that wants to buy our secret formula!”
“You can’t even afford to buy the formula, yet you caused us to come this far!”
The rest of the Chaplin family sneered, their eyes filled with disdain and mockery.
The faces of Julia Stewart and her employees became more and more unpleasant.
If it wasn’t for their request, they wouldn’t have put up with this humiliation.
“Since you can’t come up with the money, forget it then!”
Henry Chaplin disdainfully said and then stood up, “Let’s go!”
With that, Henry Chaplin led his family members to leave.
