Chapter 761: Chapter 757: Steady Victory
The negotiations were divided into three rounds, with each round focusing on different projects.
The first round of negotiations revolved around agricultural products.
South Asia is an agricultural powerhouse, while East Asia has the most comprehensive and advanced agricultural processing technology.
Both sides went back and forth for hundreds of rounds, attacking and defending their positions.
Charlie Gyons wanted to hold onto the high-quality raw materials and negotiate for high cooperation prices, but Roy Lewis did not think so.
“Mr. Gyons, pardon my frankness. While your country is not the only raw material supplier, currently, only our Federation can provide the same level of processing technology.”
The Lewis Group, as the Federation’s holder of several leading processing technologies, had enough say in this matter.
When Charlie Gyons saw that Roy Lewis was in charge of today’s negotiations, his heart skipped a beat.
For one, as fellow disciples, their master had always openly favored his junior brother.
Secondly, to be honest, apart from his prominent family background, Roy Lewis was indeed a talent that ordinary people could not reach.
In the past, Charlie Gyons used to feel a mix of envy, jealousy, and resentment towards Roy Lewis.
Later, after graduation and no longer in the same country with no direct competition, he began to truly scrutinize his junior brother.
One could say that Roy Lewis possessed 90% of the advantages that ordinary people would want.
It’s just a pity that he was rumored to have a terminal illness and wouldn’t live long.
But recently, it was said that he had completed the surgery, performed by none other than Master Seaton’s top disciple from South Asia.
Later, he also heard that Master Seaton’s disciple not only cured his junior brother’s illness but also bore him three genius triplets.
And this disciple of Master Seaton was once thought to become his sister-in-law.
So, with old and new grudges combined, Charlie Gyons couldn’t help but feel emotional.
However, Roy Lewis remained calm and composed throughout, while Charlie Gyons seemed a bit disorganized in comparison.
“Mr. Lewis, are you saying that we have no choice but to cooperate with you?”
Roy Lewis shook his head, “No, you have plenty of choices. Whether you choose to produce high-quality, irreplaceable products or produce common, low-priced products with no competitive advantage, both options are in your hands.”
Roy Lewis’ words sounded nice, and the choice was indeed in Charlie Gyons’ hands.
But the conditions for cooperation were firmly held by their side.
Charlie Gyons knew his side’s conditions and limitations from the very beginning, so he selected the best representatives from various fields to increase their chances of winning as much as possible.
But once Roy Lewis appeared, it was destined that the negotiation would end with the East Asian Federation as the ultimate winner.
“Mr. Lewis, please allow us to discuss this morning’s negotiation content after the meeting.”
Roy Lewis nodded, “Alright, let’s discuss it separately.”
The first round of negotiations ended, and the South Asian hosts invited Roy Lewis and his delegation to dine at the top floor of the original hotel.
Although it was an official banquet, the content of the conversation was no longer about official business, so everyone enjoyed a relatively relaxed atmosphere.
Charlie Gyons changed his cold demeanor from the morning and took the initiative to offer a toast to Roy Lewis.
“Junior brother, you don’t mind me addressing you like this, do you?”
Roy Lewis hurriedly picked up his wine glass, “If I said I minded, I’m afraid our master would drive me out of the sect.”
Charlie Gyons glanced at the drink in his glass, “You don’t drink alcohol?”
Roy Lewis smiled, “I’m sorry, I had surgery not long ago, and the doctor ordered me not to drink.”
