Chapter 725

Lauren adjusted Harrison’s tie as she said, “I’m going to the finance department now. You go ahead and meet Mr. Yates!”

Harrison double-checked his appearance before returning to his

office with the secretary.

“Apologies for the intrusion, Mr. Harrison. Please don’t take it personally!”

Andi Yates, a man in his 40s, smiled as he got to his feet and walked forth to shake Harrison’s hand.

He was wearing a well-pressed suit and was clean-shaven. His hair had been combed into a neat hairstyle. He was a walking example of

what a successful man should look like.

“I didn’t know you’d drop by today, Mr. Yates. My apologies that I was not here to greet you!”

Harrison used his left hand to shake Andi’s hand while using his right

to beckon him to sit. “Please take a seat, Mr. Yates!”

Then, he turned to the secretary and said, “Ruby, bring us my

treasured collection of Earl Grey tea!”

As the two settled on the couch, Andi placed the tea, cigars, and wine

he had brought along on the coffee table. “These are some simple gifts I’ve prepared for you, Mr. Harrison. I hope you’ll enjoy them!”

Harrison chuckled. “You’re too kind, Mr. Yates. It’s enough that you’re here. You didn’t need to prepare any gifts!”

Aged wine from Tuscany, Davidoff cigars, and rooibos tea from 1963. These items cost roughly two million dollars in total, and though not ridiculously expensive, they were not particularly cheap either. Such gifts were perfect for a first-time meeting.

Andi looked around the office and smiled as he said, “Baroque Group is doing better by the day, but your office remains as simple as ever, Mr. Harrison. That’s a rare sight to behold!”

Harrison chuckled. “You’re too kind, Mr. Yates. I just prefer having a calmer office because they say tranquility yields transcendence!”

The secretary brewed tea while they exchanged pleasantries.

Harrison poured Andi a cup of tea and then smiled while saying, “One does not drop by unannounced without reason, Mr. Yates. I wonder why you’re here to see me today?”

He motioned for Andi to take the cup after he filled it.

Andi did not bother with formalities and sipped on the tea as he smiled sadly. He said, “I won’t bother beating about the bush anymore. I have a nephew who has just graduated from universi and he’s founded a smartphone company with a few of his friend

“That young, impetuous man wants to produce high-end phones despite just starting out, and they’re interested in using 7nm chips. However, they don’t have access to any suppliers, and I heard that Baroque Group has a photolithography machine for 7nm chips.”

Harrison paused halfway in bringing the cup to his lips.

Could things really be this wonderful?

The other two companies had monopolized the market for 7nm chips, and Baroque Group had not yet found any clients because their skills

were not mature enough.

They had just been worrying about this, and a client had arrived at

their front doors.

Harrison put his cup down and smiled as he said, “It’s good that the youngsters are full of drive. Technology is advancing at a rapid pace today, and smart technology is taking the world by storm now.

“Only high-end phones will be able to withstand the challenges the market throws their way… The world is going to belong to the younger generation soon!”

Andi laughed. “You’re right, Mr. Harrison… We went through the same thing during our times!”

Harrison asked, “May I know how large your nephew’s company is and roughly what their demand would be, Mr. Yates?”

Andi smiled knowingly. “Don’t worry, Mr. Harrison. I’ve invest

two billion dollars in their company and will continue to mak

investments if things go smoothly for them. Baroque Group the only company supplying them with the chips!”

Excitement washed over Harrison, but he arranged his features in calm expression. He merely smiled slightly as he said, “In that ca why don’t we arrange to have a meal with your nephew soon?”

After all, Andi was merely the middle-man here. If Harrison wanted to discuss business matters, he had to speak to Andi’s nephew.

“Sure thing. I’ll have everything arranged!”

Andi laughed. “If you could spare me one of your business cards, I’ll have my nephew contact you directly, Mr. Harrison!”

The secretary retrieved a business card from Harrison’s desk and held it in both hands as she handed it to Andi. She said in a soft voice, “Here’s Mr. Harrison’s business card, Mr. Yates!”

Andi took the business card and glanced at the clock before he got to his feet. “It’s getting late, and I still have some business to take care of at work. I won’t keep you from your work any longer, Mr. Harrison. We’ll meet again soon!”

“Alright, I’ll walk you to the door!”

Harrison walked alongside Andi to the elevators.

Andi patted Harrison on the shoulder and smiled as he said, “No need

to accompany me any farther, Mr. Harrison. I’ll head downstairs. myself!”

“Alright. Goodbye, Mr. Yates!”

Harrison pressed the button that would make the elevator doors

close.

The elevator doors closed slowly.

Harrison was in an excellent mood. He clasped his hands behind his

back and hummed under his breath as he walked toward the finance

department to share the wonderful news with Lauren.

Yet, he had only taken a few steps before he received another phone

call.

“Mr. Harrison… A man claiming to be the heir of the Kennedys wants

to meet you!”
