Chapter 20: Get Out!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Heather drove an Audi Q7. Her company wasn’t far from the liquor factory, just a twenty-minute drive away.
When they arrived at the company, she drafted the contract. After they signed it, the contract officially took effect.
“By the way, Ms. West, do you have the contact details of the distributor?” Samuel asked.
“There are many distributors in New York City, but two main ones basically control the entire city’s market and are very difficult to negotiate with,” she said as she sent the contact details to him.
Pausing for a moment, she continued, “It’s hard to meet those large distributors. So, if you want to speak to someone, you can start with the small and medium-sized ones. Here are their details.”
With that, she took out a piece of paper with a whole page of information on the distributors..
Samuel accepted the paper and said with a smile, “I’ll work hard to report my success very soon.”
After the matter was settled, Heather also let her hair down and returned to her eccentric state. Looking at the handsome young man, she rolled her big eyes around and said, “Samuel, your boss lady originally wanted to introduce you to me. So, what do you think of me?”
“Ms. West, I’m just a small employee. How would I dare to long after you?” He hurriedly waved his hand.
“Do you not want to, or just don’t dare?” she asked.
He looked at her again. She was beautiful, and her figure was perfect. She had a powerful family, knowledge, and manners. He naturally had no objections to such a person being his wife.
After hesitating for a long time, he blushed. “I really don’t dare.”
She smiled brightly. She was even more satisfied with him now. She looked at him with her big, round eyes and said, “If you grow my company, I will date you. How about that?”
“You’re thinking of swallowing the difference in price that I gave to the distributor, right?” he asked.
“Go to hell! Do you think I care about that little bit of money?” she gasped in disbelief and scoffed.
“Haha, I’m just teasing you. How can I be worthy of you?” he said humbly, “I’ll get going first. We’ll contact each other later.”
“Alright.” Seeing him fleeing, the corners of her lips curled up.
Ring—
Her cell phone rang. It was from Arielle. Heather immediately felt guilty.
She picked up the call and said sweetly, “Arielle~”
“Heather, where are you? I haven’t seen you since I came back,” Arielle asked curiously.
“Samuel said he had some errands to run, so I gave him a ride. I’m heading back to the water plant now.” Heather lied.
Arielle didn’t suspect a thing and asked excitedly, “How was your chat? Do you think he’s any good?”
“Pretty good.” To be honest, Heather’s initial impression of him was rather decent.
“Then, you should keep in touch more often.”
“Mmm, I’ll try.” Heather nodded.
The two women, each harboring their own ulterior motives, both thought they had picked up a bargain and looked satisfied.
…
Samuel left the water plant and prepared to contact the two distributors to give it a try.
One of the distributor representatives was Marcus Fields, mainly responsible for the southern part of the city. The other was Chloe Patton, who oversaw the northern part of the city.
After thinking for a while, he gave Marcus a call. From Heather’s introduction, this person’s reputation in New York City was superior to Chloe’s.
The call was picked up very quickly, and a refreshing male voice sounded. “Hello, who is this?”
Samuel knew that when dealing with people of this level, if his status wasn’t high enough, others wouldn’t even bother to meet him.
“Mr. Fields, I’m Samuel Walker. I have a batch of goods with very high profits and over 46 million dollars in total value. I would like to meet you for a chat.” His tone was calm as if he really had a big business deal.
His words had indeed stumped Marcus.
“46 million dollars? What goods?” Marcus asked.
“It’s not easy to describe. Let’s meet and talk,” said Samuel.
After all, businessmen were after profits. Marcus was instantly tempted. “I’m at the company now. Is it convenient for you to come over?”
“Sure. Tell me the address. I’ll head over,” Samuel said.
After Marcus told him the company’s address, he hung up and rushed over to board a bus.
Half an hour later, he showed up at Marcus Co..
The company was located near the city’s perimeter. It had to distribute various goods and stock up in warehouses, so it was gigantic.
After registering at the reception, Samuel arrived at an office building.
Marcus’s office was Room 301. He went to the third floor and knocked on the first door.
A young woman with a hot figure and clad in professional attire opened the door. When she saw him, she asked, “You are?”
“I’m Samuel Walker. I made an appointment with Mr. Fields half an hour ago,” he hurriedly introduced himself.
“Please come in.” The beautiful woman invited him into the room. Then, she said to a man sitting on the boss’s chair, “Mr. Fields, Samuel Walker is here. He was the one who contacted you earlier.”
As Marcus’s gaze landed on Samuel, he frowned slightly.
He’s younger than I imagined. What kind of business can he offer?
“Please take a seat,” Marcus invited, not even bothering to stand up.
Samuel sat opposite him, and the secretary poured a cup of tea for him and then quietly left, leaving only the two of them in the office.
All of a sudden, a piece of information appeared in Samuel’s mind.
[Character: Marcus Fields, 45 years old, top distributor of New York City.]
[Secret 1: Evaded taxes of up to 8.7 million dollars in 10 years.]
[Secret 2: Mixed counterfeits with the distribution of goods to earn large profits.]
[Secret 3: Often has improper relationships with his female subordinates. The husbands of all three subordinates discovered his scandals, and in order to get out of trouble, he hired hitmen to get rid of them.]
“Mr. Walker, you said you have a 46 million dollar business to discuss. What do you want to talk about?” At this moment, Marcus asked calmly.
Samuel took out a bottle of mineral water from his bag and placed it on the table. He introduced, “Mr. Fields, I’m the exclusive agent of Iceberg Beverage. The profits I mentioned are all in this water.”
Marcus sized up the bottle of water and asked curiously, “Is there anything special about this water?”
Samuel explained, “The retail price is relatively high at 50 cents per bottle. But the price I’m offering you is as low as 13 cents per bottle. That way, there will be enough profit margin.”
“This business is worth 46 million dollars?” Marcus’s face darkened.
“Yes, our product has enough advantages…”
“Enough!” Before he finished speaking, Marcus slammed the table and pointed at the tip of Samuel’s nose. “Get lost before I lose it!”
For an unknown mineral water factory to produce unknown bottled water and set a ridiculous price to try to get him to distribute it, this was clearly treating him as a fool.
Samuel knew that if he didn’t reveal his trump card at this time, the negotiation might end here. He immediately said, “Mr. Fields, you have been a distributor for many years. I admit that you have a lot of connections, but you mixed counterfeits in the distributed goods. This might implicate you…”
Marcus glared at him, displeased.
I’m sure no one will find this out, so I secretly sold the counterfeits. But this rascal heard this news from somewhere and actually used it to threaten me!?
“Dumb c*nt, shut your mouth!” With that, he slammed a button beside the table.
Not long after, the door opened with a bang, and a few security guards charged in.
“Chase him out!” Marcus pointed at Samuel and yelled.
