Chapter 763: Chapter 759 Master Lewis, You Have a Date…

Charlie Gyons has been the South Asian Minister of Commerce for nearly three years, but this is the first time he’s been sweating at the hands of an opponent’s aura on the negotiating table.

It seems that using Richelle Dunn to provoke Roy Lewis was indeed very effective.

However, this effectiveness went in a different direction than what Charlie Gyons had expected.

And now, Charlie Gyons felt like he wants to die.

He was extremely annoyed that he had failed to control his emotions and had brought personal grudges into the matter.

“Mr. Lewis, didn’t we almost reach an agreement this morning?”

Charlie Gyons tried to bring the negotiation progress back to the state where they had left off in the morning.

But this was just his unilateral wish; Roy Lewis didn’t buy in.

“Mr. Gyons, we indeed almost reached an agreement this morning, but you said you wanted to reconvene! And the result of our deliberation is that, based on the conditions discussed this morning, we’d gain almost nothing!”

Since Roy Lewis was so clear about it, it meant that all the conditions negotiated in the morning were to be nullified, and they had to start over.

Charlie Gyons almost vomited blood. In fact, as the disadvantaged party being choked, they didn’t actually have any bargaining chips to negotiate with East-Asia.

He had previously thought he could use Sonia Seaton’s research achievements as a bargaining chip, but now it seemed that this chip wasn’t on their side at all.

Because, after lunch, he personally called Sonia Seaton to ask about her current research projects.

As a result, Sonia Seaton directly replied to him.

“I’m sorry, but I’ve basically handed over these projects to my youngest apprentice. All future cooperation will be negotiated by my apprentice as well.”

Everyone in South Asia knew that Sonia Seaton’s youngest apprentice was Richelle Dunn, her most proud disciple.

And handing the projects and future matters to Richelle meant that the priority would be given to the East-Asian Federation’s Lewis family, not South Asia or any other country or company.

So, Sonia Seaton’s decision was like a bolt from the blue for Charlie Gyons.

He immediately realized that in the morning, he had probably made a huge mistake.

And the current development of the situation proved that his premonition was correct.

“Mr. Lewis, your Federation and our South Asia have always been advancing hand in hand and cooperating closely in terms of economy, culture, and even military. This time, I hope we can continue to cooperate happily as before.”

Roy Lewis has always been used to leaving a line in his dealings.

But Charlie Gyons should not have provoked him with the old matters between Richelle Dunn and Benjamin Fred.

A man in love is always blind, and when stimulated by a love rival, he becomes even more irrational.

Moreover, he was now fighting for the benefits of the Federation, and being tough wouldn’t affect his reputation.

Even for the enterprises and people of the Federation, he was still a lucky star.

“Mr. Gyons, in business matters, the premise of a happy cooperation is that the conditions given by both sides meet everyone’s expectations. I serve the East-Asian Federation, and the conditions I negotiate for must naturally be in line with our company’s interests. However, the conditions mentioned this morning clearly would only make our company a profitless charity.”

Since Roy Lewis was so clear about it, Charlie Gyons knew that the situation was hopeless.

At least for the agricultural cooperation, the profit margin of South Asia’s entire agricultural industry will significantly decline.

After Roy Lewis set the overall pace of the negotiations, he didn’t speak much for the rest of the day. He listened to his subordinates and South Asian members engage in verbal wars, occasionally wrote a few lines, and then pushed them in front of Benjamin Fred.

Then Benjamin passed it to the negotiator, who would change his train of thought according to the prompt and continue to negotiate with the other party in a new direction.

After a whole day of negotiations, the staff on the East-Asian Federation side were all energetic and high-spirited.

In contrast, the South Asian Federation members were all listless and had no fighting spirit left.

“Master Lewis, you’re amazing. With you stepping in, the profit margin of our companies has at least increased by three to five percent.”

For such large collaborations between multinational companies, a one percent increase in profit margin was already a delight.

But Roy Lewis remained indifferent and composed.

“Don’t rejoice too soon. There are still two days of tough negotiations ahead. Let’s keep our spirits up and deal with it.”

Someone sneered, “I’ve always heard that the South Asian Ministry of Commerce is full of elites. Seeing them today, they’re nothing special.”

The supervisor next to him tapped his head, “Don’t get too cocky, kid. Minister Gyons of South Asia was obviously crippled by Master Lewis today. Otherwise, do you think we could have dealt with the first half of the negotiations so easily?”

Roy Lewis continued, “Anyway, let’s all have a good meal later, and after that, go back and carefully review the process and key points for tomorrow. Let’s try to achieve the same results as today.”

Benjamin Fred handed an iPad to him, “Master Lewis, where would be suitable for dinner tonight?”

Roy Lewis didn’t even look at it and shoved the iPad back into Benjamin’s hands.

“I’ve got some personal matters to deal with later, you guys decide what to eat on your own, my treat.”

Benjamin Fred looked puzzled, “Master Lewis, have you made an appointment with…”
