My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 955

How could I not have known? He just wanted to make use of my relationship with Hendrix to gain more ground in the bid!

Deep down, I didn't want to do it. But I did not refute in time, and just fell silent.

As he stared at me, his gaze was somewhat depressed. After a while, he said, "Of course, if you want to reject it, I will agree. However, there is a twenty percent commission from the project, and you will be missing out on it."

I was stunned for a moment. "Twenty percent?"

He raised his eyebrows and said, "For all our projects, the project manager gets twenty percent commission. It's been set since the company's establishment."

It was not that I didn't know commissions were common, but normally, they were in the range of five to ten percent!

However, a figure like this was tempting. It would mean a commission of at least five figures. If the project was bigger, it would even mean a million dollars!

That was enough money to spend for a long, long time!

Seeing me in a daze, Sebastian ate a few mouthfuls before he got up and walked to the desk. He handed over the documents to me and told me, "These are the details of the Roberts Group's plan. In addition, the local government of Asherton also intends to cooperate with Hendrix. It seems that we have no other advantage except for you, at present."

I was speechless. "Even if I have a relationship with Hendrix, he will not choose partners that are not up to par just because of a personal relationship. As you said, the interests of the company are highly valued in business circles."

He smiled but said simply, "How would you know if you don't try? The auction will start in the evening, which means you have to rush out the bidding plans now."

I looked at him, and said a little angrily, "Mr. Milton, don't you think you are making things difficult for me?"

He raised his eyebrows. "You can't do it? Or you don't want to do it?"

For a moment, I was speechless. I was neither unable nor unwilling to do it, but just felt a little strange.

At my silence, he told me, "Arianna, you can consider it for your own interests. Also, if there's anything you don't understand, you can ask Linda."

With that said, he continued to focus on his documents.

I was stunned for a moment. I looked at the food on the table, a little absent-minded.

But it didn't take long for me to quickly pack up and leave his office.

I had not crafted a bid for a long time, so I didn't know how and where to start.

When Linda arrived, she saw that I was staring blankly at the computer. She smiled and told me, "The Roberts Group came to bid for this local company in order to promote and expand its own. Roberts Group is a listed company here. In other words, Hendrix is a capitalist to some extent. The purpose of his plan is to make a hundredfold profit! All these interests are very important to them."

"The state-owned enterprises in Asherton intend to cooperate with Roberts Group, just like us. Seeing the development of this project, they want to share the profits. The advantage is that they remain stable and safe, even if their prices may be lowered. After all, the funds of these state-owned enterprises are limited. This also means that they will appear in the later process for the sake of saving costs, or in some other process."
