Beautiful CEO's Super Expert

Chapter 223: Too Little Given



At the same time, in the meeting room of Rose Mansion.

Ye Mei and Xiao Yaning were sitting on one side of the conference table, while on the other side sat a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was elegant, with gold-rimmed glasses, dressed head to toe in top-tier brands, clearly a big shot. He was Yuan Dong, the Asia region head of Almei Corporation.

Behind him was an old man and a young man. Both were expressionless, and their attire was unlike any brand or style Ye Mei had ever seen, somewhat resembling the garb of medieval nobility.

"Ms. Ye, how have you considered our terms?"

Yuan Dong quietly watched Ye Mei and Xiao Yaning, confident, admiring the graceful figures beneath their business suits, a hint of undisclosed desire flashing in the depths of his eyes.

He hadn't expected the two women from Red Rose to be so beautiful and shapely. Getting both into bed for a threesome would certainly be enjoyable!

"President Yuan, to be honest, your terms are a bit excessive."

Ye Mei looked at Yuan Dong, her face full of indignation.

The Almei Corporation was too bullying. For a project collaboration between the two companies, not only did Red Rose have to advance all the initial expenses, but the financing in the late stage was also to be split between the two companies in a 40-60 ratio, with Ye Mei contributing 60%.

That might have been acceptable, but the profit-sharing ratio should mirror the investment ratio, right?

Moreover, Ye Mei was taking on all the initial risks, and anyone who understood business knew that the initial risks were the greatest!

Yet Almei Corporation wanted to take seventy percent of the profits, which was blatant extortion!

Ye Mei hadn't expected them to be so ruthless. They were like a hungry wolf, a wolf that devours without spitting out the bones!

However, collaboration with Almei Corporation was something Ye Mei had long dreamed of. It was a critical opportunity for Red Rose's transformation. If successful, Red Rose would embark on a completely different path of development!

If not for this, given such harsh conditions, Ye Mei would have walked away long ago; it was clearly an unequal treaty!

Anger also covered the beautiful face of Xiao Yaning sitting next to Ye Mei, her fists clenched tightly beneath the table, as if she might explode at any moment!

Yuan Dong was well aware of the two women's anger and reluctance, yet he didn't care in the slightest.

The powerful intelligence system of the Phillip Family had long since informed him about the situation of Red Rose.

He knew that domestically, there were no reputable corporate groups willing to collaborate with them, and abroad, they lacked connections.

Which meant, he had them cornered!

Of course, the actual decision-making today did not fall on him but rather on the two individuals behind him!

He didn't know their true identities, only that they were beings he absolutely could not afford to offend!

Timing was essential, and the Phillip Family also valued the vast market of Huaxia, which was why they had sent such important people; otherwise, a project worth several billion wouldn't warrant their visit.

"President Yuan, considering how much we've put in and how little we get back, isn't that a bit unfair? With this, I can't even explain it to my team!"

Ye Mei said, though distressed, she knew she had to endure for the future of Red Rose.

"Ms. Ye, that's not the right way to put it. On the business field, what really has value isn't just money but brands, reputation, recognition, channels, capabilities—these intangible things! If we had to put a monetary value on what our Almei Corporation brings, it would far exceed the amount you've mentioned,"

Yuan Dong spoke fluently about this subject. In terms of eloquence in this area, how could Ye Mei compare to Yuan Dong who had graduated with an MBA from Harvard and had been battling on the business field for so many years?

Ye Mei was immediately at a loss for words, unable to utter a single one.

But she felt she was completely being robbed, and there was nothing she could say about it.

Forget it, consider it paying for a ticket to enter the game.

Ye Mei and Xiao Yaning exchanged glances, both nodding slightly yet still somewhat unwilling.

"All right, this time we will agree to your company's request,"

Ye Mei stood up and extended her delicate hand, saying:

"We hope your company can support us more in the future."

"Sure, sure!"

Yuan Dong laughed heartily and also extended a hand.

Since the conference table was quite wide, the two were far apart, so to shake hands, they had to lean forward slightly.

As Ye Mei bent slightly to shake hands with Yuan Dong, the pendant hidden under her shirt suddenly fell out and dangled in front of her.

The elderly man sitting behind Yuan Dong immediately narrowed his pupils, and a shocked expression appeared on his previously calm face!

He suddenly stood up from his chair. His movement was so sudden that he even knocked over the chair, but the elderly man paid it no mind.

His expression changed, and he stuttered:

"Where did you get this pendant from?"

His previously dim eyes suddenly shot out two sharp arrows, firmly staring at Ye Mei...

Everyone was startled by the elderly man's sudden action and looked at him bewildered.

Ye Mei was also somewhat bewildered; she hadn't expected that her pendant would cause such a loss of composure in the elderly man who hadn't spoken a word until now!

Ye Mei honestly said, "It was a birthday gift from a friend of mine."

But in fact, it was from Su Chen; she was too embarrassed to say so.

Xiao Yaning was also a bit puzzled about the situation. She had been there when Su Chen gave Ye Mei the pendant and hadn't thought it was anything valuable!

Upon hearing Ye Mei's words, the elderly man took a deep breath and murmured:

"I didn't expect you to be that person's friend!"

After a moment, the elderly man finally recovered from his shock and said:

"All previous contract plans are void! The new contract plan is that Almei Corporation will provide ninety percent of the funding, and Almei Corporation will only take ten percent of the profits. Is that acceptable to you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was startled; this was almost like giving it away for free!

Seeing that Ye Mei didn't respond, the elderly man quickly said:

"How about this, Almei Corporation will provide all the funding, and we at Almei Corporation won't take a single penny of the profits."

"Ms. Ye, does this seem acceptable to you? If you're still not satisfied, we can negotiate further."

The elderly man said respectfully, his voice even trembling slightly.

"Grandfather Augustus, you are just the steward of the Phillip Family; how can you give away our family's assets so freely?"

The young man said discontentedly, Augustus truly had become senile!

"Yes, respected Sir, this would be too big of a loss for our Almei Corporation."

Yuan Dong also agreed, shocked, failing to understand why the elderly man would suddenly act this way.

"Hammam Young Master, you can report this to the Family Head. I believe the Family Head will only blame me for giving too little, not too much,"

The elderly man cast a glance at the young man and said indifferently.
