“How dare they do something like that right under my nose? Are they looking for trouble?” Levi fumed.
Levi realized that these foreigners were accorded many special benefits in Erudia.
Meanwhile, his own countrymen didn’t get any special privileges.
“It’s not going to be easy. The Triple Group contributes a significant portion of Quebec’s GDP and creates a lot of job opportunities. Therefore, they are allowed to act with impunity as the local government turns a blind eye to their actions. In fact, the government is going to introduce many policies that favor their business.” Azure Dragon explained.
“What does South City have to say about it?” Levi inquired.
“South City is not keen on pursuing the matter and has agreed with their actions. They said that the Triple Group has promised to increase their contributions towards public welfare and charity.” Azure Dragon sighed.
Bang!
Suddenly, Levi slammed the table forcefully.
“This is unacceptable! How can the great Erudia be manipulated by a foreign company? Why do we allow them to dictate what we do?” Levi thundered.
Azure Dragon was caught by surprise at how angry Levi was.
“Tell South City to deal with this immediately!” Levi barked.
“Alright, I understand.”
Levi was aware that Scott’s assets were very valuable, and many parties had their eye on it ever since Scott’s demise.
The Suarez family and the Lopez family knew the truth about what happened, so they stayed away.
However, the Triple Group didn’t and did whatever they wanted due to their powerful position as a foreign company.
They used about a billion to acquire an asset worth a hundred billion.
That came up to a profit of eighty billion!
Perhaps South City could tolerate the issue, but it was unacceptable to Levi.
The funds were supposed to be used for good; hence, whoever dared touch it would feel his wrath.
With that, Azure Dragon was sent to South City to deal with the problem.
Meanwhile, Levi arrived at Oriental Star Group to meet with Zoey and was told that Zoey was in the midst of discussing a collaboration.
Outside the meeting room, Gerry related to Levi in delight, “Mr. Garrison, the stars, which we have groomed – Helena and Maurice, are now wildly popular. The Triple Group invites us to form a collaboration today. They want Helena to be their product spokesperson, and I heard her fee would go up to a billion! Also, this is only the beginning. There are plans for a series of projects later on.”
The more Gerry shared, the more excited he became.
When Levi heard that the Triple Group was involved, he frowned.
“Did you mean the Triple Group from South City?” He asked.
“That’s right!”
After a short while, the negotiations for the partnership were complete.
The groundwork for the collaboration had been laid. What came next was the discussion on price and the signing of the contract.
Zoey was all smiles.
Ever since their two blockbuster movies, the number of companies who wanted Helena to be their spokesperson or attend their commercial events increased significantly.
Even the contract with the Triple Group was worth more than a hundred million.
The Oriental group had opened the door for them to make it big in the entertainment industry.
Helena and the other stars’ value jumped many-fold.
“Ms. Lopez, If there aren’t any unforeseen issues, we will sign the contract tomorrow. I have run this through our big boss, and he has agreed to all your conditions.” Horace confirmed with a smile.
Horace from Triple Group was responsible for the negotiations.
“Alright, no problem!” Zoey nodded in agreement.
When she returned to her office, Levi asked, “Are they signing a spokeswoman to showcase their electronic products?”
Everyone knew that the Triple Group’s electronic products were top-notch.
Zoey shook her head. “No, the electronic products will come later. They are signing Helena now for a charity event.”
“What? A charity event?” Levi furrowed his eyebrows and could feel something wasn’t right.
