Chapter 820: Chapter 820: Termination of Cooperation?
Caleb Mamet’s eyes were full of rage, ready to take Xaviera away, but to his surprise, she did not seem annoyed at all, instead, she said with a smile, “How should I prove myself then?”
Vivian Drew held her head high, putting on the air of an elder, “It’s quite simple. The Drew Corporation and the Mamet Corporation have a clothing store collaboration, but we have yet to settle on a sales plan. If Miss Evans can draft a comprehensive, feasible plan within an hour, I will agree to let you stay.”
Everyone was dumbfounded, Steve Price and Sean Price mourned in their hearts, “This Vivian Drew has provoked Mrs. Mamet, whose retribution will certainly be severe!”
Employees from both companies have been unable to come up with a concrete sales plan for quite some time, which goes to show it’s no simple task. Even if Xaviera is capable, it’s absolutely impossible for her to come up with a viable sales plan in such a short amount of time. Vivian Drew is obviously giving Xaviera a hard time.
Just as everyone thought Xaviera would back down, she confidently nodded, “Alright.”
Vivian Drew scoffed, “You certainly agreed readily. But let me tell you, if you lose, the lead role in our collaboration will automatically switch to the Drew Corporation, and whatever plan we come up with, the Mamet Corporation must accept it!”
At this point, Caleb Mamet’s expression had grown icy cold, he seemed to have envisioned a hundred ways for Vivian Drew to die in his mind.
Meanwhile, Sir Drew chuckled mirthfully on the side. This was an excellent opportunity. While it might not deal a severe blow to Caleb Mamet, it was still pleasant to see him uncomfortable, and moreover, if the Drew family were to propose the plan, they could also gain quite a bit from the collaboration.
Xaviera laughed, “If I lose, the lead role switches to the Drew Corporation. But what if I win?”
Vivian Drew sneered disdainfully, “You think you can win? Impossible!”
Before Vivian Drew could respond, Xaviera said casually, “If I win, the Mamet Corporation will be in charge of this collaboration, and the Drew Corporation will have to concede 10% of the profits. In other words, the Mamet Corporation will take 70% of the profits, and the Drew Corporation will have to settle for 30%.”
The room fell into silence and took a few seconds for the stupefaction to wear off. One of the senior executives from the Drew Corporation angrily shouted, “Mrs. Mamet! You are taking advantage of us! In this initial collaboration, the Mamet Corporation is already taking 60% of the profits, and now you want to take an additional 10%? What should the Drew family earn, then?”
This was a challenge proposed by Miss Vivian Drew herself, weren’t her requirements taking advantage of us as well? If I lose, you can gain benefits from the Mamet Corporation. If I win, you don’t have to pay any price. Where in the world is there such a risk-free good deal? Does the Drew family want to gamble without staking anything? Is this fair?” Xaviera retorted, leaving everyone with a sour expression.
Seeing that Xaviera was making some solid points, Miss Vivian Drew couldn’t help shouting, “Caleb Mamet, look at your wife! She’s disrespecting her elders! I happen to be your elder, and I’m responsible for this collaboration. Who gave her the right to speak to me like this? If she doesn’t apologize, we should terminate the collaboration!”
This little bitch Xaviera is getting out of control thanks to Caleb’s favoritism. She publicly humiliates me, if the collaboration ends, how could he let her continue to act so recklessly?
Hearing Vivian Drew’s shouting, Xaviera raised an eyebrow; who gave Vivian Drew the confidence to think that Xaviera would apologize?
Why do people from the Drew family have this kind of unfounded confidence? They always consider themselves superior. If they are this powerful, why has the Drew Corporation been declining year after year?
Just as Xaviera was about to open her mouth, a cold, masculine voice rang beside her, “The penalty fee will be sent to the Drew family later.”
Everyone was stunned.
Vivian Drew had just stated that if Xaviera didn’t apologize, the collaboration would cease, and Mr. Mamet, without the slightest hesitation, directly offered the Drew family a penalty fee. This meant he would prefer to terminate the collaboration than let Mrs. Mamet apologize.
Caleb Mamet’s eyes were calm, portraying no emotion, but his tall figure and the commanding aura he radiated made everyone extremely nervous.
His voice was indeed very calm, absent of anger, but it commanded awe, deterring any offence.
At this point, the entire banquet hall was in uproar. They had just managed to collaborate with the Mamet Corporation, and now it was being terminated as if it was insignificant?
Caleb Mamet slowly said, “I’ve always been able to separate business from personal matters, so when Miss Drew approached me for collaboration, I didn’t refuse. As long as both parties work hard, we could certainly reap great benefits. However, Miss Drew might have misunderstood something…”
