Mysterious Mrs. Pansy

But from the expressions on both sides, it was clear that Mr. Mann nodded and, along with the people around Patrick’s father, went into another room to discuss these matters.

When Patrick came down, he was surprised and asked his father why he didn’t just reveal his identity, instead of summoning him abroad in this way.

“In business, we must be formal in our cooperation. If I had directly revealed my identity, would you have seriously considered all this?”

“What I want is for you to see this as an opportunity to cooperate with me, and for us to work together for mutual benefit, rather than agreeing to this cooperation because of our relationship.”

Patrick’s father directly explained the reasons, showing that he was not a person who uses strong-arm tactics.

Although he hoped to have communication and cooperation with Patrick, this kind of communication and cooperation was not just a one-sided effort from Patrick.

Maybe he really considered the emotions, and that’s why he chose this way of cooperation, which made him uncomfortable.

Patrick nodded and understood his father’s attitude. In fact, when doing business, he also occasionally considered the issues between each other and also considered family matters.

But he knew his father was right; doing business was doing business.

And everyday communication was just that, and both sides could do as they pleased without worry.

Even if it involved some money borrowing or other methods, it could be discussed in everyday communication.

But once it came to formal business, this issue had to be considered. Now, Patrick’s father was using his actions to show Patrick his attitude.

In the process of business negotiations and operations, what principles and regulations should be followed? Both parties were very happy in their communication, and Patrick accepted his father.

The two of them didn’t involve much business communication this time, only a few simple sentences already passed.

The rest was their communication about daily life. As for business matters, as Patrick’s father had said from the beginning, it was left to the people below to handle.

This way, the people below would not get involved in the emotions between father and son; they would cooperate in the usual way.

But Patrick had already decided in his heart that this cooperation would definitely be very pleasant, and the investment would also enable him to gain something.

Even if there was indeed a risk in the end, it was an unavoidable risk.

It wasn’t because there were problems with the project or with the cooperation partner.

Back in China, Jane had been worrying about some things these days. Now, Harrison’s studio was developing vigorously according to Jane’s views.

This scope and scale of the business were unsatisfactory to her. Jane felt that with Harrison’s ability, it could be done better.

The business could be larger, not just what it was now. Harrison had already shown his professionalism through his skills and talents in jewelry design, but he just lacked a few good platforms.

Today, Jane called the manager of the external business department.

The manager believed that Jane was about to launch some new business and was already prepared. Their business targets still lacked a little bit now.

If they could achieve it, it meant they wouldn’t need to worry in the second half of the year.

“Which jewelry companies and studios have we been cooperating with? What is the current feedback on the items our artists have been wearing?” Jane asked the manager.

When the manager heard this question, he thought for a moment and told Jane, “Jewelry is all about quality and unique design. Every person has their own needs, and the demands for different occasions are also different, making it difficult to have a unified standard.”

It’s the so-called different strokes for different folks, so we have quite a few jewelry partners and several studios, but there are still people who are unsatisfied with the jewelry they wear.”

Jane nodded as she heard this. It was within her expectations. She was able to anticipate these details beforehand, but the company had made such promises before.

So, it had used this method to purchase items for each artist. But now, the latest method had already changed into providing the artists with a subsidy for clothing props, and they could make their own choices.

“I have watched the jewelry exhibitions and listened to some industry evaluations recently. Currently, the reputation of Harrison’s jewelry designers is good, and some of the designs are very distinctive,” Jane said.

The manager of the business department nodded. Of course, he knew who Harrison was.

“I plan to have all of the jewelry worn by our artists come from Harrison’s studio. I want to start with one or two pieces for each person. When we collect everyone’s feedback and real needs, we can continue to follow up,” Jane continued.

The manager of the business department nodded when he heard this. This would require financial applications and also communication with the other artists.

But there was no problem with the communication. When it involved financial matters, Jane would need to handle it. He expressed his thoughts as well.

Jane asked him to first communicate with the artists and then called the manager of the finance department to explain the situation.

“There is no problem with this. This part was already included in our original budget. Now, it’s just a matter of which company the money will go to. The communication with those artists by the business department manager also should not be an issue. So, the two of our departments cooperating closely will solve this matter,” the finance manager assured Jane.

Jane nodded and asked the finance manager to handle it as well.

Three days later, Harrison called Jane and requested a meeting at a coffee shop.

When the two met, Harrison had a frown on his face.

“Why have you brought all the jewelry worn and designed by the artists in your company to me? Will they be satisfied with this? I can also use my own methods to gain market share; you don’t need to help me like this. It will cause problems for your company’s operations,” Harrison said, with a hint of a smile on his face, his first reaction of course, was very happy, but then he thought of the consequences.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
