"I see," Caleb and the others were visibly disappointed. Though Hugh was here to discuss the collaboration between the Morrisons and Cynthion Group, the purpose of this visit would be fulfilled regardless. However, Hugh was merely a vice-president and his status could hardly hold a candle to Leon's. The Morrisons gathered everyone who held power in the family to await Leon's arrival, yet Leon simply sent one of his subordinates over. This felt like Leon was disrespecting them, so they were all displeased. "How arrogant! We all gathered here to welcome him upon knowing that he is coming, yet he dares to look down on us! He lacks sincerity!" A man in his fifties stood beside Calbe and said angrily. He was Hugo's uncle, the leader of the second generation of the Morrisons, Jayden. The Morrisons were slightly different from the Thompsons. There was only a single bloodline that stemmed from Caleb. However, Caleb had two sons, with one being Hugo's father and the other being Ja
"Well," Leon frowned. Though Renee was upset over this as well, all she did was throw a small temper tantrum and did not insult him. However, Jayden and Georgie were different. They acted like they were above everyone and their words were aggressive, making it clear that they looked down on Cynthion Group. Still, considering that he was partly to blame for this conflict, Leon did not say anything. As the situation escalated, Hugo chimed in hurriedly, "Uncle, please calm down for now. You may not know this, but Mister Hugh here is Mister Leon's close relative. Mister Leon's caught up with something urgent and has his reasons for not coming. He didn't mean to disrespect us." Due to what Leon said earlier, he could not reveal Leon's true identity. Hence, he could only hint that Hugh was Leon's close relative in the hope that Jayden and Georgie would hold their tongue. Otherwise, if they accidentally offended Leon, the Morrisons would suffer a loss when Leon decided to terminat
"Here's the thing. Cynthion Group intends to establish a branch here. Once the branch is established, we will be responsible for production and sales, while the Morrisons will be responsible for supplying herbs and marketing," Leon said, before proceeding to explain his plan. Since he did not know the western region well, it would be challenging to dive into the market there within a short period. The Morrisons were the most powerful family in the area with great influence and once he partnered with them, Morrisons would take care of the supply and marketing, facilitating the establishment of the branch. Furthermore, Cynthion Group's alchemical pills had great market value and could easily attract unwanted attention. Since Leon was based in the southern region, he would not have much time to manage the branch in the western region and could only partner with the Morrisons to seek their protection, preventing others from trying to take over Cynthion Group. That way, the risk would
"What? That's impossible!" Leon was stunned and stood abruptly. He was about to agree to give the Morrisons thirty percent of the total profit. To his bewilderment, Georgie greedily demanded seventy percent of profit and shares. This was an unreasonable request and there was no way Leon would agree to it. "Nothing's impossible! Mister Wolf, you should that Cynthion Group means nothing in the western region. You have no backers! If you want to establish a branch here and grow swiftly, you need to rely on us! All you need to input is technology and produce some pills, and you can just sit around waiting to profit. If that’s all you're contributing, it's considered generous that we are letting you have thirty percent of the total profit!" Georgie sneered arrogantly, sounding almost as though the Morrisons were being extremely generous. "Mister Morrison, if the technology in producing alchemical pills is that insignificant, why don't the Morrisons just go ahead and establish a few
"Kid, you better know your place! Cynthion Group is just a small pharmaceutical firm in the southern region. The Morrisons are already making great sacrifices to split the profit in half! Don't get cocky!" Jayden was displeased upon hearing Leon's refusal. Though Cynthion Group gathered tremendous fame in the southern region and became the most successful enterprise in the area. However, the western region was too far away and the Morrisons did not know anything about Cynthion Group or its success. Jayden decided that Cynthion Group was a small pharmaceutical firm with no connections in the western region. Without the Morrisons' help, it would be almost impossible for them to open a branch there. Hence, Jayden and Georgie felt a sense of superiority, thinking that the Morrisons were above Cynthion Group. If Cynthion Group wanted to expand to the western region, Leon would have to agree to their terms. "Yeah, Jayden's right! Fifty-fifty is the best we can do! Mister Wolf, please
"It's fine. Elder Morrison, the chairman has left me in charge of this matter before I come to the western region. There's no way that you're getting fifty percent of the profit!" Leon said decisively. "What do you propose, then?" Caleb's expression darkened as he was displeased by how difficult Leon was being. "I'll repeat: if the Morrisons want to work with Cynthion Group, the profit will be divided by twenty-eighty! The Morrisons will have access to twenty percent of Cynthion Group's total profit made in the western region, but you will have no company share!" Leon said. He initially planned to offer the Morrisons thirty percent of the profit as a gesture of courtesy. However, the Morrisons remained arrogant and greedy without any respect for the Cynthion Group. It was clear that they did not treasure this opportunity. Leon was mild-tempered but was still enraged by their attitude. Hence, he did not hold back and insisted on offering the Morrisons twenty percent of the pro
"Well," Caleb fell into silence upon hearing Hugo's words. The profit Leon offered earlier was too low for the Morrisons to consider, but Hugo was right. the alchemical pills sold by Cynthion Group held great potential and the Morrisons would only benefit from partnering with it. It would be foolish of him to miss this opportunity and refuse to work with Cynthion Group. "Grandpa, this is a one-in-a-lifetime chance. You need to consider it more carefully," Seeing the hesitation on his face, Hugo continued. When he participated in Cynthion Group's sales drive, Leon did not intend to expand his business to the western region at the time. It was Hugo who proposed to collect herbs for Leon and therefore fought for a chance for the Morrisons to work with Cynthion Group. Everything was about to be finalized, yet Leon seemed ready to call off the deal due to issues with the profit division and the arrogant attitude the others put on. For the sake of the family, Hugo could only try
"But," Hugo refused to give up and wanted to talk to Caleb, only for Caleb to interrupt him. "That's the end of the discussion. Hugo, show our guests the way out! Mister Wolf has come a long way, so send him to the best hotel to rest! As for this collaboration, allow me some more time to consider!" Caleb said. Though he was not pleased with the terms Leon offered, with his experience, he could tell that the Morrisons would surely benefit from working with Cynthion Group. Hence, he did not turn the deal down. He intended to get Hugo to settle Leon down and leave Leon hanging for a few days. Once Leon started to feel nervous or became willing to make compromises, Caleb could agree to work with Cynthion Group. That way, the Morrisons could remain in control and keep Cynthion Group at bay to fight for the most profit. "Well, alright, then." Rendered helpless, Hugo could only give up. "It's fine! Thank you for your kind offering, Elder Morrison! I will find my place to stay, s
