If he could help the company land a ten–million–dollar project, he could earn hundreds of thousands of dollars in
commission
At that point, he would be able to impress women with his fortune.
Just as Kellen hung up with Mr. Barnett’s wife, he received another call.
It was from his boss, Nelson Barnett.
“Kellen, where are you?” Nelson sounded extremely anxious.
“Mr. Barnett, I’m near the restaurant. What’s going on?” Kellen asked.
“Do you remember Stellar Group was supposed to invest in a project worth 140 million dollars in our company? For some reason, the order was suddenly canceled! The Stellar Group is our biggest client. We relied on this project to promote other products, so the company’s profit index has risen in recent years. If we lose this big client, we will suffer a great loss!” Nelson was extremely worried.
Kellen also knew about the Stellar Group.
It was the largest multinational corporation in the country and was like a commercial empire.
The president of the Stellar Group, Joshua Melendez, was a powerful figure in the business world.
If any company could get an investment from the Stellar Group, it could thrive. On the other hand, if the Stellar Group wanted to destroy a company, it would surely be bankrupt.
“Mr. Barnett, we need to contact the project manager at Stellar Group and find out what went wrong. We must retrieve this contract no matter what happened,” Kellen said seriously.
“Kellen. I have the same idea as you. I just called the secretary of the president of the Stellar Group to make an appointment. We will have a chance to meet Joshua in the afternoon. Kellen, you are very good at handling situations. Come with me and help me out, Nelson said urgently.
“Okay, Mr. Barnett, Kellen agreed without hesitation.
“Kellen, to be honest, even if this contract reduces our profits by fifty percent, I will still get it back.” Nelson’s tone was determined.
Fifty percent?
Excluding the costs and expenses, the net income of this contract was about sixty million. If the profit were reduced by fifty percent, it would be equivalent to 30 million!
“Mr. Barnett, this is not a small number!” Kellen was surprised, and his expression became serious.
“There is no other way. If we lose this contract, we will lose more than eighty percent of our market share, which will be at fatal blow to our company’s long–term development! We can’t afford to lose this contract, even if there is no profit. Nelson’s expression was very grave.
“If that’s the case, then we’ll do whatever it takes to retrieve this contract, Kellen said confidently.
A challenging mission would give him a sense of accomplishment.
If anyone could do it, why bother looking for Kellen? What was the point of his profession if anyone could replace him?
“Also, if you can successfully get this order back, I will definitely promote you and give you a raise! Over the years, I have been working as a director and general manager alone, which has been a little difficult. If you perform well, I have great hopes for you to take my position as general manager, Nelson said earnestly.
Now the Barnett Group had reached its survival moment. Even if Nelson had to make a promise that was hard to deliver, he needed to motivate Kellen.
“Mr. Barnett, don’t worry. I will do my best to assist you and complete the task,” Kellen answered excitedly.
He was secretly delighted!
He was wondering how to climb up and strive for success.
Unexpectedly, he had such good luck getting an opportunity so soon.
If he could help Mr. Barnett successfully retrieve this 140 million dollars project, he could take a step forward and become the general manager of Barnett Group, surpassing that dandy. By then, he could show off in front of Christy that all the deals he made were worth tens of millions, and he didn’t believe that Christy would not be moved!
Soon, Kellen drove to meet Nelson, and together they arrived at the Stellar Group.
Seeing the high–end design of the office building here, Kellen was also excited. He felt that he had walked into an auditorium.
Chapter 67
He didn’t expect Joshua to be so rich.
It was just an office building. Was it necessary to decorate it like this? The main lobby was almost like a palace.
“Kellen, you must be careful with your words later. Mr. Melendez has a mercurial personality, and he doesn’t like to hear nonsense. All your negotiation skills in business battles won’t work with him.” Nelson reminded Kellen.
Kellen said with a serious face. “Mr. Barnett, don’t worry. I will be cautious. However, a big entrepreneur like Mr. Melendez must value interests and strengths. The advantages of our Barnett Group are more obvious than other companies. I am confident about this. I believe he won’t settle for less.”
“Well, I think so too.” Nelson said calmly. “In fact, we still have a trump card. My wife’s niece is Joshua’s girlfriend. With the relationship between my niece and Joshua, I believe I can get us a favor. If we really can’t negotiate, I can still ask my niece for help.
At the mention of this, Kellen vaguely recalled that there had been news reports about Mr. Melendez’s romance with the current popular star Gloria.
But he never paid attention to this kind of entertainment news and didn’t even notice what Joshua looked like. Those pictures were all blurred, and even if he saw Joshua in front of him, he might not recognize him.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Barnett turned out to be Gloria’s relative! This was really amazing.
Why had they never mentioned this to him before?
Could it be that Mr. Barnett got this deal among many competitors because of his niece?
Speaking of which. Mrs. Barnett’s maiden name happened to be Osborn. It seemed that it was true since Mr. Barnett would definitely not lie to himself at such a time.
Kellen and Nelson anxiously waited in the waiting room for half an hour, and Lorene finally informed them that they could go in to see Mr. Melendez
Mr. Melendez’s office was incredibly huge!
The decoration was luxurious, and the room was at least 2000 square feet. Under the gorgeous chandelier, the tiles on the ground were shining, showing a high–end style.
Nelson, a billionaire, became cautious even while walking there.
Joshua sat calmly in front of the office.
His eyes were cold and deep, and his face was as handsome as a sculpture. He was dressed in a handsome and fashionable suit, which vividly set off his cold and elegant temperament.
He was just sitting there, and the whole president’s office was filled with a cold and serious atmosphere.
What a powerful aura!
Nelson was nervous and sweating on his forehead, not daring to look directly at Joshua.
“Mr. Melendez, hello!” Nelson greeted Joshua anxiously.
Nelson was about to ask Kellen to greet Joshua quickly when he found that Kellen was standing still, looking scared.
