Chapter 926: Chapter 926: Unable to Win the Bid

Hayley Cole is indeed someone who mingles in the circle, surrounded by quite a few of the second and third generation. No matter what their purpose for being around her is, she can still find quite a number of people when needed.

Then, very quickly, her influence started to show.

——

"James, are you aware of the news about you?" Benjamin Walton asked with a smile.

James Reed took a sip of coffee at a leisurely pace before saying, "The word from Hayley Cole? I’m aware."

Just because of a single word from Hayley Cole, many companies in their industry altered their bids.

Securing the bid meant obtaining the project and profits.

But offending Chairman Cole’s daughter indirectly meant offending Chairman Cole, didn’t it?

If they pleased Hayley Cole now, wouldn’t they gain more opportunities in the future?

Business people have their own calculations, and maximizing profit is their pursuit.

"You’re much better than I am," Benjamin Walton said with admiration.

"You’re not bad either," James Reed replied with a smile, "Old Mrs. Wilson must be getting restless, right?"

Old Mrs. Wilson is also part of the business world, so she naturally would have heard this news.

Furthermore, Walton Family and Wilson Clan originally have cooperation, allowing their things to participate in the bidding together. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Old Mrs. Wilson certainly won’t miss this opportunity.

"Even if she’s restless, I can’t wait for her to come to me. As the son-in-law, I must ease my father-in-law’s concerns." Benjamin Walton said with a smile, "I need to go have a discussion with her, to help plan for the Wilson Clan."

"Then I first congratulate you on bringing Wilson Corporation into your fold." James Reed raised his coffee cup with a smile.

"Congratulations to you too; the Seymour Family will surely see your capabilities and might use a grand parade to invite you back." Benjamin Walton also laughed, if someone were to take a photo of the two of them now, they would see the same scheming, fox-like sly smile.

"President Wilson, something has happened." Edward Palmer called, startling Sophie Wilson, "What happened?"

"President Wilson, we may not win this bid," Edward Palmer’s words puzzled Sophie Wilson, "It’s not time yet, how do you know we won’t win?"

She can’t recall Edward Palmer having foresight.

"Our competitors are likely to cut prices drastically, regardless of the costs," Edward Palmer said worriedly.

As soon as he verified the authenticity of this news, he immediately called Sophie Wilson.

They’ve worked hard for so long, yet in the end, it might all be in vain; it’s truly frustrating.

But the opponent is more aggressive, what can they do?

"Are they nuts?" Sophie Wilson raised an eyebrow, "Cutting prices regardless of the costs, what will they earn? Haven’t heard that bidding isn’t about making money but doing charity."

The company can’t disregard employee interests and randomly do charity.

If they don’t make money, how can they pay their employees?

"The main thing is someone let slip, not wanting you to win the bid. Whichever company wins this bid won’t make money, but will be compensated with other projects." Edward Palmer said helplessly.

"Geez, who is this?" Sophie Wilson asked angrily, clearly being targeted.

"Heard it’s Chairman Cole’s daughter, Hayley Cole." Edward Palmer replied, "President Wilson, do you have a vendetta with her?"

"Who?" Sophie Wilson was shocked, "That idiot?"

Well, Edward Palmer thought he knew the answer and didn’t need to ask further.
