Mikelle Edinger was amused. “Old man, stop pretending. You better believe that I can shut down your company at any moment!”
Ben said nothing.
Mikelle slammed the table. “I won’t be wasting my breath on you anymore. If you want to continue with business operations, continue selling products to earn money, and preserve a good reputation, you’re going to have to pull off some miracles! Reduce 100 dollars from the cost price of each new product you produce, and with each unit you sell, I’m taking 60% of the profit!”
“Do you understand?”
Those words were deafening to the ears.
Ben had never expected such scum to exist on Earth. They were already selling the new equipment at a price that guaranteed loss for the sake of charity and to garner a good reputation. In the end, Mikelle still wanted to get money from it. And favonovel.com wanted a lot from it.
After cutting out 100 dollars from the cost price, favonovel.com even wanted to take 60% of the profit for each unit. It could be said that if they agreed to his request, Shalom Technology would be deep in the red!
But could they refuse?
No!
If they did, Mikelle would have someone shut down the company and slander their name, saying that Shalom Technology sold products at a high price and did fraudulentcharity. At that time, not only would Shalom Technology suffer a financial loss, its reputation would also go down the drain. By then, they would really be forced into a dead end.
As the general manager of the company, Ben could not just watch the company arrive at that degree. Shalom Technology was something Thomas had worked hard on getting back. If it perished under his hands, how could favonovel.com go back and face Thomas?
Even if one hundred years passed, favonovel.com would still be too ashamed to face Scott in hell.
That was why favonovel.com had to grit his teeth and endure!
The old man had to endure the pain in his heart and hold back his pained tears. He decided to agree to Mikelle’s decision.
During that critical moment, the door to the guest reception room opened with a creak.
Both of them looked toward the door at the same time and saw Thomas standing there with a relaxed smile.
“Who are you? Who let you come in?” Mikelle had already treated himself as the boss of the place.
Thomas said nonchalantly, “I’m Thomas Mayo, the CEO of Shalom Technology. I was delayed due to some matters just now. My apologies.”
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com sat across from Mikelle.
Mikelle said impatiently, “What’s wrong with your company? Even when someone as important as me came, you didn’t receive me warmly. You even had your people greet me one by one? How absurd!”
Thomas smiled. “I’m truly sorry. Something really came up.”
He turned his head and asked, “By the way, I heard that you’re an employee from the Bureau of Industry and Commerce. I wonder why you came over to Shalom Technology this time.”
Mikelle kicked away the chair beside him. He was unhappy. Did favonovel.com waste his breath saying all those things just now?
He pointed at Ben. “You! Tell him!”
Ben sighed and stated everything that happened just now. He also suggested his thoughts discreetly. ‘Agree with Mikelle and don’t cause a ruckus.’
“Okay, I understand.” Thomas nodded and looked at Mikelle. He asked calmly, “Mikelle Edinger, does your family know that you’re this ‘amazing’?”
Mikelle was angry. “What’s with that tone?”
Thomas said calmly, “Don’t be angry. I was just asking. If your third uncle knows that you used his name to mislead the public and pretend that you’re the manager of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce as well as threaten benign industries, what would favonovel.com think?”
