Chapter 356: Chapter 356: The Overbearing William Group (9 more)

At the door, two blond-haired, blue-eyed Caucasian men in suits walked in, one after the other.

These two Caucasian men were both nearly six feet three inches tall, almost tall enough to reach the door frame, with faces full of arrogance as if their noses were pointing to the sky.

They merely glanced at Lin Tong and, without even a greeting, sat down on the chairs.

Seeing this, Lin Tong bitterly smiled to herself but dared not show any dissatisfaction.

She knew they had the right to be arrogant, as they were from the William Group, and if she wanted to succeed in this negotiation, she had no choice but to endure!

After adjusting her mood, Lin Tong sat opposite the two men. Before she could speak, one of the Caucasian men took the initiative.

"Miss Lin, what do you think about the terms offered by our William Group? Today is the final deadline, there will be no extensions!"

This man’s Yan Country language skills were obviously lacking, and his speech was very awkward and unnatural.

As he finished speaking, he lifted the corners of his mouth in a smug smile, as if he was certain that Lin Tong, no matter how reluctant, would ultimately agree to their demands.

After all, they were from the William Group. To negotiate with them? Fine, but first accept our terms, otherwise there’s no point in talking.

In the realm of conglomerates, the people from the William Group were just that domineering!

Upon hearing this, Lin Tong’s expression changed, and with furrowed brows, she earnestly said, "Mr. Andrew, your demands are too harsh! We can accept a profit share of thirty-seven percent, with the Eastern Group taking thirty percent and the William Group taking seventy percent! However, with your proposed twenty-eight percent, I’m sorry, but I cannot accept it."

In fact, a thirty-seven percent profit share was already Su Yumo’s bottom line.

The technology and patents were theirs; the William Group merely provided the channel, opening the foreign markets. Their demand to take seventy percent of the profits was something Su Yumo couldn’t accept.

Moreover, thirty percent profit was just enough for the Eastern Group to break even!

If they continued to be this harsh, with a split of twenty-eight percent, the Eastern Group would not even be able to afford their pants.

"No, no, no, Miss Lin, you might have misunderstood!"

The Caucasian named Andrew, after hearing Lin Tong’s words, flashed a cold sneer, waved a finger, and said, "A twenty-eight percent profit share was the result of previous discussions. Today we’re discussing a split of ninety-ten! Our William Group takes ninety percent! Your Eastern Group... heh, just ten percent!!"

What!

Ninety-ten?

Upon hearing this, Lin Tong, no matter how good her temperament was, couldn’t help but stand up abruptly from her chair!

"Mr. Andrew, what do you mean by this?"

Lin Tong’s face was icy cold as she stared angrily at the other party and questioned.

She hadn’t expected them to jack up the price while sitting down, directly raising the profit share to ninety-ten!

If the two sides were really to cooperate, ten percent of the profits was utterly like skinning them alive! The Eastern Group would essentially be wedding dressmakers for them. This wasn’t cooperation; it was blood-sucking! Sucking the blood of the Eastern Group, leaving not even the dregs.

The William Group was going too far!

"Mr. Andrew, we have a saying in Yan Country, ’No credibility, no strength; no trust, no success.’ We came with full sincerity to cooperate with you, hoping that the William Group would also adhere to the covenant of good faith and show your sincerity."

Although Lin Tong was filled with indignation, she still forcefully suppressed her anger.

After all, for her, the position of the William Group was simply too high, a global super-conglomerate among the top hundred! A mere sneeze from them could topple the Eastern Group.

If the cooperation failed and they offended the other party, the Eastern Group might face annihilation.

Clearly, Lin Tong could not afford this trouble, let alone provoke the William Group!

Faced with Lin Tong’s questioning, Andrew sneered, "Hehe... Integrity? Miss Lin, that is your Yan Country’s way of thinking. We in Beihai Country only believe in hegemony! We are honest only with those who are stronger than us! Your Eastern Group, obviously, is not among them. So, a 19% share already reflects our greatest sincerity. If Miss Lin agrees, we can cooperate, but if she does not agree... hehe, the Eastern Group’s dream of expanding overseas will just be a fantasy!!!"

That would be a dream!

One sentence, as if a bomb had been dropped, turned Lin Tong’s face pale with her delicate body trembling uncontrollably.

The William Group indeed had the right to say this; without their consent, the Eastern Group’s desire to expand into international markets would surely be a fool’s dream! Not to mention establishing a foothold overseas, they would likely be attacked by countless competitors as soon as they appeared.

Thus, the fate of Eastern Group could at best be severely weakened, just surviving in a corner of East Sea City. At worst, in the vortex of the international market, they could be crushed to pieces, not even leaving dust behind, thereby erased from the businesses in East Sea City!

This was not only a blatant threat but also coercion!

Coercing the Eastern Group to sign a contract with them!

The domineering nature of the William Group was fully demonstrated in this moment!

Lin Tong’s ten slender fingers tightly clenched together, her palms were filled with sweat.

She now faced two choices, one was to cooperate, relying on the William Group to open up overseas markets! The other was to give up on the overseas markets and continue to retract within East Sea City, merely trying to preserve themselves.

However, the Eastern Group produced cosmetics, and if it established itself in the international market, its business would only become narrower in the future! Eventually, it could only close down.

"What should I do? Should I cooperate or give up on the cooperation..."

Lin Tong bit her red lips, struggling internally, her smooth forehead covered with cold sweat.

Seeing Lin Tong’s indecision, the two Caucasians sneered.

They had seen this scene far too many times, with countless well-known companies like the Eastern Group seeking cooperation from the William Group. No matter how tough they were initially, they would eventually cooperate obediently.

"Humph! Miss Lin, since you can’t decide, I think we should forget about this cooperation! We need to catch a plane back to Beihai Country."

The Caucasian named Andrew snorted arrogantly from his nose.

As his words fell, he and the other Caucasian prepared to leave!

Lin Tong’s delicate body trembled, then suddenly remembered Ye Xuan’s ring; there was no other option now but to try it.

She took off the ring from her left hand, swiftly held it high and shouted to them, "Wait! What... what do you think this is?"

Andrew paused, frowning as he looked over and saw only a rusty skull ring, then scoffed in mockery, "Hahaha! Miss Lin, what are you playing at? Bringing out a broken ring, do you think this is the ’Magic Ring’ that will make us sign the contract?"

Hearing Andrew’s laughter, Lin Tong’s expression stiffened, feeling like a fool, utterly embarrassed.

Indeed, she had been played by that bastard Ye Xuan!

Just then, the other Caucasian, who had been silent until now, his face originally filled with arrogance, suddenly changed dramatically upon seeing the skull ring!

"My God, this, this is..."

He stared wide-eyed, in disbelief.
