Chapter 682

Chapter 682 When only the two of them were left in the room, Mackenzie asked impassively, “Is there anything else, Mr. Wallace?” “Yes,” Ignacio hurriedly said. “Ms. Quillen, as you can see, both of us are in the hospitality business, and our previous collaboration went very well. It seems that the Terence Group is short on money when investing in the energy business as of late, so I’m wondering if you need some financing. I happen to have some money sitting idle in the bank.” I see what he’s up to now. Mackenzie finally realized the older man’s intention. The apology was merely a pretense, and he was making use of the wedding to approach her and talk about collaboration with her so that he could venture into the energy business. “Since you’re so sincere, I’d like to know how much money you’re going to invest,” Mackenzie asked calmly. After contending with the Lenoir family and the Verkade family, the Terence Group had indeed suffered some losses. However, their foundation was solid. Terence invested a total of 700 million into the business, forcing the Lenoir family out of the market and snatching all their market share back. Now, their market share was even higher than before the contention. As such, the Terence Group could either choose to get some financing to strengthen its position in the market or stay put to take a conservative approach. “Ms. Quillen, my wealth is no match for your family, but I’m willing to invest 280 million.” What? 280 million? Mackenzie was startled. She was tempted by the figure Ignacio had come up with, and she was also surprised. It seemed that the older man had earned a lot of money by managing his hospitality business in Onza. Although the Quillens were the wealthiest family in Yeringham, Chanaea was a vast country. As such, there were even more powerful families than the Quillens in the country. As the leader of the Quillen Group, she certainly hoped to help the Quillen family reach a greater height. “Mr. Wallace, what’s your condition, then?” Mackenzie quickly pulled herself together and sported an impassive expression. “Haha. If you’re interested in the collaboration, I’d like to go about it according to the business norms. I hope that 280 million would be traded for your company’s shares so that I’d have the right to be part of the Terence Group’s board of directors.” Ignacio directly came up with his demand. That’s quite reasonable. As a woman in power, Mackenzie wouldn’t readily believe anyone. Her suspicion would be aroused if Ignacio’s demand was easy to be fulfilled. However, if his demand was unreasonable, she would turn him down outright. As such, the demand he had come up with was worth some consideration. “I got it, Mr. Wallace. I’ll discuss the matter with my grandpa.” Mackenzie didn’t directly agree to the collaboration. “Haha! I hope you’ll bring me some good news soon. Not only could we collaborate in the hospitality business, but we can also advance together in the energy market. I’m sure we’ll have a pleasant collaboration.” Upon finishing his words, Ignacio was ready to give the woman a gift. It was Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ Fɪndηovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. the dragon and phoenix white jade. “I heard you’re a fan of Mr. Cline’s work, and you have a lover. As such, I’d like to present this little gift to you and hope that you’ll be successful both in your relationship and career.” Then, he held out the gift for her with both hands. A surprised Mackenzie replied with a smile, “I’m afraid I can’t accept such an expensive gift, Mr. Wallace.” She could tell that the gift was worth over 15 million. “Haha. Ms. Quillen, I wouldn’t say it’s an expensive gift when the golden jade phoenix you’re wearing is worth 30 million. In comparison, my gift looks inferior. If you don’t accept this gift, I’ll be very embarrassed,” Ignacio said with a smile. Mackenzie stared at him for a moment before accepting the gift. “Thanks, Mr. Wallace. Please send it to my office.” “Haha, sure. This way please, Ms. Quillen.” Ignacio was excited. Since the woman was willing to take his gift, it suggested that he had secured the collaboration. It was every businessman’s dream to collaborate with the Terence Group in the energy business. He knew that he had seized the chance. After leaving the presidential suite, Mackenzie decided to put the collaboration aside first. She was more interested in finding out what Emmanuel was doing. Milani’s personality is terrible. I don’t want him to offer his blessings to her anymore.
