Chapter 1175 Contrary to Kent's Expectation

After Jordon delivered his speech, many of the people present nodded in agreement with his opinions.

Wally stated with a smile, "Mr. Liu, your words sound plausible to a certain extent. But if Zeus Industrial International takes part in the bid, there will be new ideas and opportunities for the development of the First Chemical Works. I think the investment promotion and capital introduction of our city would be negatively impacted if we rashly denied an enterprise that sincerely intends to invest in SH City."

Everyone else in the room also agreed that Wally Tong's words made sense. Now, it was a little difficult to come to a decision. While everyone was lost in thought, Jordon emboldened himself to ask, "Well, Mr. Tong, in your opinion, how shall we deal with this matter?"

"Well, I think..." Wally stammered before he continued, "Since we know nothing about this company, I think what we should do next is to clarify the situation. I feel that it is inadvisable for us to just exclude this company from our bid."

All the other attendants' eyes glimmered in surprise when they heard Wally's words. Until now, Wally had served as secretary-general for over a year but had never made any big move in SH City. But today, to their surprise, determination flooded in the leader's eyes as he spoke. Seeing this, they began to wonder if Mathews was backing him up to do this.

The meeting continued. After his statement, Wally neither elaborated on it nor conveyed any more of his personal views.

He just sat there, listening attentively. The attendants present at this meeting could be grouped into three factions.

The first faction was onlookers from the Construction Bureau, the Power Supply Bureau, and some other representative workgroups. They were attending this meeting as supporters. In other words, they would only have to provide support for whichever company would successfully acquire the First Chemical Works.

The second faction was moderate and particularly favored Hiawatha Chemicals under Jordon's lead. Moreover, Jordon had come to attend this meeting even with a broken finger and was full of energy throughout the meeting.

Of course, it was natural for him to be agitated. For the First Chemical Works to be smoothly acquired by Hiawatha Chemicals, Jordon had done a lot of work. But now, Zeus Industrial International had suddenly entered this bid. If things didn't go according to his original plan, Jordon would have to start from scratch. Everyone involved in his plan would be unhappy. On the other hand, Wally didn't understand the hidden reason why Jordon insisted on having the First Chemicals Works acquired by Hiawatha Chemicals. In spite of this, he had no interest in figuring out the reason either.

The third faction was agreeable. It was represented by Wally, the secretary-general of the municipal government. Most people in this faction thought that the municipal government should agree with Zeus Industrial In

o of them were even.

Besides, after thinking it over, Charles had realized that dissuasions like Kent's were very common in the business circle. They weren't evil, but a normal business practice.

And anyway, the United States was not the principal place of business for the Mu's Group. If Charles couldn't make his entrepreneurial team submit to him with his power and influence, it would be impossible for him to carry out future investments, and then the team would go out of his control.

Charles had never been hostile to Kent either. Now, the two of them had a hearty talk with each other.

Even though Kent still more or less grumbled about how Charles had treated him last time, he was casual about it and not vindictive at all. As a matter of fact, he preferred solving problems in a tactful manner and never argued with others on impulse. To a certain extent, it could be said that this man was fairly sophisticated.

Charles, in essence, was sophisticated as well. The way he treated people and dealt with matters was extraordinary. Always being hopeful about the future, he rarely conceded to others no matter how much he would benefit from the concession.

Of course, this didn't mean that he shouldn't have reconciled with Kent. Even though the Mu's Group had an advantageous position in SH City since this was its principal place of business, Charles thought that, considering the fact that Kent had voluntarily come here to reconcile with him, he should be friendly in return.

After all, harmony brought wealth.

With this thought in mind, Charles received Kent by treating him as a VIP. Apart from introducing the WSS members to Kent, he even introduced Linda, Elmer, Wiseman, and Andrew.

Kent was very pleased and touched by Charles's sincerity. Before arriving here, he had thought that Charles would provoke and challenge him before finally making peace with him, if at all. But contrary to Kent's expectations, Charles hadn't acted that way.
