?Chapter 345:


    Each negotiation with them felt like a battle, leaving him drained for days afterward. At times, they considered cutting ties with Briggs Group, but the potential gains always lured them back.


    Briggs Group apparently felt simrly; their previous team had been relieved not to be the ones dealing with Shaw Group this time. Everyone knew dealing with Shaw Group was a formidable challenge!


    Shortly after, Chaz, along with his secretary and Richie, made their way to the reception room. They settled in, and the partnership discussion officiallymenced.


    This meeting truly showed Chaz and Richie what despair meant. Melvin led most of the conversation, while Freya only spoke up during crucial moments. Her calm approach was effective, and her words were impactful.


    Thirty minutes in, the negotiations were winding down.


    Richie, drenched in sweat and smiling stiffly, said, “We’ll take this back for further discussion and follow up with you. Is that okay?”


    “That’s fine,” Freya responded softly, giving them ample time.


    Melvin, sitting beside her, maintained a calm presence.


    After the meeting, Chaz and Richie left the reception room, leaving the secretary to assist the Briggs Group representatives if necessary. Back in Chaz’s office, Chaz loosened his tie, his usual lightheartedness reced by a serious demeanor.


    Richie quickly drank a few sses of water.


    “These neers from Briggs Group are surprisingly more persuasive than the ones before,” Richie said, still holding his ss. His stocky build was evident.


    “If the boss wasn’ting inter today, I might’ve just agreed.”

    “Exactly,” Chaz responded, his face grave.


    This deal was highly lucrative. It was tempting for any businessman in their field. However, Briggs Group was pushing for an additional seven percentage points of benefitspared to their previous terms. They were entitled to a major portion of the project’s benefits, but now Briggs Group’s share was nearlyrger than theirs.


    epting their terms felt like a loss, and hoping Briggs Group would return to the earlier conditions seemed like a waste of time. Still, no otherpany could match what Briggs Group was offering. What should they do? It was a real dilemma.


    “Why don’t we tell them that we’ll get back to them by this afternoon?” Richie proposed. “Let the president deal with it when he gets here?”


    “No,” Chaz dismissed the suggestion. “That would not only question ourpetence, but also, Briggs Group is unlikely to tolerate such a dy.”


    These negotiators were not like the ones before; they had ess to resources beyond those typically avable to Briggs Group.


    Promising an answer but then dying it until the afternoon would surely upset them, potentially putting the whole partnership at risk.


    “What should we do then?” Richie asked, clearly torn.


    “Agree to the partnership,” Chaz concluded after a moment’s thought. “In the long run, it won’t be a loss for us.”


    “Are we really going ahead with this?” Richie pressed.


    “Yes,” Chaz affirmed.


    “But what about future projects? We’re bound to have more projects with Briggs Group.” Richie was worried, dreading the thought of negotiating with those two again. He sighed heavily.


    Then, Chaz’s expression lightened, and he grinned, seemingly relieved. “Whatester isn’t our problem.”
