Chapter 389: 389 Conditions of Willson Group_1

“Impressive!”

After Quella Radcliffe sat down, Yasser Davenport gave a thumbs up.

“It was all his teaching.”

Quella Radcliffe glanced at Julius Reed, not yet recovered from the emotions of the moment before.

Julius Reed simply smiled faintly, acting as if nothing had happened.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“The Radcliffe Group is a local enterprise of Gonzalez City, and I think it can join.”

“There’s no problem with that, since we’re talking about a local alliance in Gonzalez City. There’s no reason not to let the Radcliffe Group in!”

“We do business in an upright and straightforward manner, so what could possibly go wrong by letting them in?”

After a speech, the voices within the meeting room had already changed.

Many of Bran Cook’s supporters chose to remain silent, as openly agreeing at this point clearly lacked rationality.

People are selfish, and when their own interests are at stake, they become very sensitive.

Just like now, stirred by Quella Radcliffe’s words, they each began to worry about themselves.

In the end, the majority of entrepreneurs were still not prospering.

Only a small number of oligarchs were consistently profitable.

But as the saying goes, “It’s the leading goose that gets shot,” these oligarchs definitely wouldn’t take a stand and support Bran Cook at this time.

If they did so, their reputation in the circle would be done for.

Even many would subconsciously regard such a person taking the lead as an enemy.

“Since everyone seems to agree, I also consent to the Radcliffe Group joining the business alliance. But…”

At this point, Bran Cook felt extremely reluctant!

Once part of the business alliance, he couldn’t carry out acquisitions openly and aboveboard.

“But the most important thing now is how to persuade the Willson Group to join us! If we have this giant on board, our progress will be greatly accelerated! And many of you may see the results of our business alliance by this time next year.”

Bran Cook shifted the topic directly to the Willson Group.

He had always been troubled by the Willson Group.

Gonzalez City is in Five-river Province, and the leading enterprise of Five-river Province is none other than the Willson Group!

If they could secure the inclusion of the Willson Group, it would be much easier. Whether it’s capital networking or corporate management.

Relying solely on the local enterprises of Gonzalez City, it is difficult to accomplish anything significant.

As Quella Radcliffe said earlier, most businesses are losing money. A few are profitable, but not by much.

Joining the business alliance, everyone is aiming to make money. If they are asked to put up cash upfront, many would be unwilling.

In that case, the establishment of the business alliance would be indefinitely delayed.

But if the Willson Group can join in, it would make a big difference.

When Bran Cook spoke about this plan, to put it bluntly, he was pulling the Willson Group in to invest.

For such oligarchic enterprises, what they care about is not the immediate profit, but the long-term development.

As long as the Willson Group believes this will bring tremendous returns to the group in the future, they will definitely agree.

They are not short of cash. Once the investment is made, it will quickly turn into cash and be distributed to the entrepreneurs present.

Once the entrepreneurs get a taste of success, they will surely cooperate actively and may even be willing to offer their resources and property to strengthen the alliance.

Once the alliance begins to take shape, Bran Cook can return to the capital with this achievement and draw those rich young masters to invest.

Eventually, all this money would find its way into his pockets, and he would effectively become the chairman of the alliance.

By then, everyone would have unwittingly let Bran Cook grow too powerful and lost their ability to develop independently.

Slowly being eroded by him.

“I got in touch with the general manager of the Willson Group yesterday, but up to now, there has been no reply,”

Bran Cook sighed, his face showing his concerns. “Hopefully, everything will go smoothly.”

“If the Willson Group could join us, we would definitely make a killing!”

“The Willson Group has deep pockets; they might not be interested in us!”

“I’ve also heard about this matter, but according to my estimates, it’s unlikely that the Willson Group would want to join!”

Everyone was discussing fervently, wondering whether the Willson Group would join or not.

They were well aware that such a large company was not looking at immediate profits but at long-term development.

If they could really persuade the Willson Group to invest, they might be able to make a lot of money at this time next year.

Just then, a young man hurried onto the stage and whispered into Bran Cook’s ear.

The scene quieted down again as many people wanted to know what had happened.

After the young man left, Bran Cook said with a furrowed brow, “Ladies and gentlemen, Manager Lu of the Willson Group just had his assistant call to say that the matter has been submitted to the senior executives, but they are not very interested and will likely not consider it.”

“How could this be!”

“Alas! The Willson Group is a behemoth; how could they care about such a small piece of the cake?”

“If the Willson Group doesn’t join us, we’ll have a hard time making a profit!”

Everyone looked at each other, faces filled with doubt.

What would the establishment of this commercial union bring them if they couldn’t pull in the Willson Group?

Would there be any profit? Or would it only subsidize those loss-making smaller companies?

“Please rest assured!”

Seeing everyone’s doubts, Bran Cook calmed himself down and continued, “Even if the Willson Group doesn’t join, I will still invest my tens of billions into it, and my friends from the capital will also invest in this commercial alliance.”

Despite his words, the excitement of the crowd had clearly waned.

Tens of billions wouldn’t make much of a difference.

In a huge place like Gonzalez City, with over a hundred enterprises, this amount of money would hardly make a splash.

Their only hope now was for the Willson Group to change their minds.

At that moment, a middle-aged man entered from the door and bowed to Bran Cook.

“Everyone, I represent the Willson Group in Gonzalez City. Just half an hour ago, I received a call from the group asking me to attend this Gonzalez City Entrepreneurs Conference and to convey the company’s stance.”

After the man walked to the center of the venue, the large conference room instantly became quiet.

Everyone was eager to know the final stance of the Willson Group!

They all waited expectantly; some even closed their eyes and prayed silently.

For big companies, joining a business alliance was just icing on the cake, but for most enterprises, it was a godsend.

“In fact, the high executives’ thoughts are very simple; if you can persuade them, you will get our investment. If not, sorry, we won’t join the alliance,”

The middle-aged man looked around with a smile and said, “You all know, the Willson Group has ample capital and isn’t short of money. But you need to give my seniors a reason compelling enough. Right now, there is a computer in the car behind me; you can try to join a video conference there. Our leadership has taken out the whole morning waiting for someone to convince them.”

“Alright! If that’s the case, I’ll give it a try. I believe in the discernment of the Willson Group executives and in my own abilities!”

Bran Cook, brimming with confidence, walked down from the stage and made his way towards a Maybach parked outside the venue.
