Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1962
âThank you, Natallie,â replied Gerald in an appreciative tone as Natallie smiled back before leaving.
Following that, Gerald began looking through the contract⦠and once he was done, he handed it to Zachariah.
âDo have a look at the contract, Chairman Kershaw, and tell me if thereâs anything you find dissatisfactory. Iâm open to further conditions or requests as well, if you have any. Since weâre collaborating, this project should benefit both our groups,â said Gerald in a calm manner. Gerald, for one, knew that in order for the collaboration to work, he needed to show his sincerity and respect to Zachariah instead of simply putting up an aggressive front. After all, at the end of the day, Zachariah wasnât exactly a small fry. He was a chairman as well, and that earned him the right to have Gerald treat him with respect.
Either way, after carefully reading through the contract, Zachariah nodded before replying, âI see no problem with the contract, Chairman Crawford!â
âI see. Then letâs get it signed then!â said Gerald with a nod as both of them got their pens and signed their names on itâ¦
With that done, their collaboration was now official.
Respectfully reaching his hand out for a handshake, Zachariah then declared, âIl hope for a great collaboration between us, Chairman Crawford!â
Shaking Zachariahâs hand, Gerald politely replied, âBut of course! Well said, Chairman Kershaw!â
âWell then⦠If there isnât anything else, Iâll be taking my leave first, Chairman Crawford. If you face any problems, feel free to contact me anytime!â said Zachariah as he got up to leave.
Once he was gone, Natallie walked in before asking in slight bewilderment, âChairman Crawford⦠I may be stepping a little out of line, but what made you take the initiative to cooperate with the Zachariah Groupâ¦?â After all, for Natallie, the Yonjour Group could easily have taken on the project without the Zachariah Groupâs help. Due to the collaboration, they now had to share the profits with the Zachariah Group, which was why Natallie found Geraldâs actions to be so confusing.
âYouâre probably thinking why we have to share the profits with the Zachariah Group instead of just taking the project for ourselves, right?â replied Gerald, reading Natallie like an open book.
Watching as Natallie then nodded, Gerald revealed a subtle smile before saying, âLetâs just say I did it to gain an ally. After all, if we keep making enemies, itâll be sure to backfire against us somedayâ¦
Besides, Zuri was the one who had caused us all that trouble yesterday, not Zachariah.â
âYou could say that Iâm returning good for evil. Through this collaboration, Iâll be able to win him over, allowing him to cooperate with us in a sincere way. In the long term, that benefit will surely stick. While we could surely benefit immediately by taking the project all for ourselves, doing so will only cause us to lose a lot more things in the long run.â
After hearing Geraldâs explanation, Natallie simply nodded in responseâ¦
