Chapter 68 Raising the Price
However, Reene immediately rejected the idea.
It makes sense for my brother to have a little money, but these cars add up to hundreds of millions, so how could he afford them?
She came out of the office building and exclaimed to the curious employees, “Everyone, curb your curiosity! These cars are indeed your awards!”
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in a frenzy.
Even Benjamin and others, who were going to search for Reene before, looked at these cars with excitement and secretly swore that they would stay forever loyal to Neveah until death!
“But!” Reene glanced at everyone and added lightly, “Not everyone is eligible to receive this award.”
“What? Not everyone?”
“Is it only for people above the managerial level?”
Everyone looked at each other while guessing in their hearts, while Benjamin and others all looked pleased. They were confident that they were the pillars of the company, and Reene was probably trying to win over them in this way so that they would no longer defect and join Alex.
“Mr. Gibson, congratulations. It seems that you can at least get a Jaguar XJ!”
“Yeah, I’m so envious…”
Being cheered on by his subordinates, Benjamin laughed and said, “After I get the car, I will let you all have a good time driving it!”
Reene gave them a disdainful look and continued, “Now, those on the list that I will now read out may come over and take the car keys.”
“Sasha Hompton, the BMW X5 on Transporter No. 1 is yours.”
“Thank you, President! Oh, my! Thank you!”
A woman stepped forward, her face flushed with excitement.
During the company crisis two days ago, she was kicked out by Alex’s men because she refused to betray Reene. At the time, she thought she was going to lose her job.
Unexpectedly, not only did she not lose her job, but she also got a car worth more than 800,000!
“Mike Lamb, the Lexus RX on the first truck is yours.”
“Steven Cole, that red Volvo S90 is yours.”
…
Reene gave out over 60 cars in one go, but Benjamin’s name was not mentioned yet.
Benjamin felt his heart pounding in his chest. Is she saving the best for last?
However, after Reene gave a Volkswagen CC to Gus, the security guard guarding her office floor, she concluded, “The current round of rewards for loyal employees is now over. The rest of the cars will become your motivation! I will be generous to whoever performs well!”
At that, the crowd cheered, and all the employees could not wait to sell their souls to the company at once. Only Benjamin’s expression was terribly ugly.
Even the security guard got a car, but he didn’t even get a wheel. Looking at the strange gazes of everyone, he felt that his dignity had just gone down the gutter, so he left after flinging his sleeve. While Neveah was in full swing with the distribution of rewards, Kingsley drove his new car to Summers Residence.
Today Leroy was going to sign a contract with a construction company for the construction of the Nicholson Family Cemetery, so he intended to take a look.
Seeing Kingsley, Leroy quickly and respectfully stepped forward. “Mr. Nicholson, the representative from Codrington Construction has arrived.”
“Let’s go. It’s still up to you to negotiate with them, though. I’ll only be watching.”
Leroy smiled. “Mr. Nicholson, I feel better with your presence.”
The front hall of Summers Residence looked bleak after being burned down.
A man in a floral shirt was sitting on a chair with a knife and two walnuts in his hand. Behind him stood more than a dozen young men in black suits, each looking ferocious and definitely not normal bodyguards from regular security companies.
Leroy sat opposite the man and put a document on the table between the two.
“Mr. Stephen Cooley, this is the construction contract we have drawn up. If there are no problems, the two parties will sign it, and you may start working in the afternoon.”
Stephen squinted at the contract, but he didn’t even touch it as he said directly, “I’m not gonna look at it further. According to our company rules, you must first triple the price!”
“What?” Hearing that Stephen requested they triple the original offer, Leroy changed his expression immediately. “The price given by Mr. Nicholson has already exceeded the market price! I suggest that you don’t push it.”
“Then I don’t care!” Stephen crossed his legs and raised his chin. “This is the rule of Codrington Construction!”
He threw the contract in front of Leroy. “Change the price so that we can sign the contract immediately and start construction right away!”
Leroy’s face changed again. “Mr. Cooley, we have already negotiated this before. How can you change the contract on the spot?”
Stephen raised his eyebrows. “Are you still a child? Negotiating the price and signing the contract are two different things, right?”
“You are clearly trying to take advantage of us!” Leroy slammed the table and added angrily, “Even if Mr. Nicholson is rich, we won’t be extorted by you like this!”
“Extortion?” Stephen’s face sank. “Codrington Construction is the industry leader in Cleapolis, so don’t you dare slander us!”
At the comment, Leroy was so angry that he stretched out his hand toward the gate. “Mr. Cooley, please leave. We will no longer collaborate with your company in the construction of Nicholson Family Cemetery!”
“Hehehe…” Instead of getting up and leaving, Stephen sneered, “Mr. Johnson, it seems that you are really a child. Do you know that every industry has its own rules? How would anyone dare to take over the project that Codrington Construction is interested in?”
