Chapter 918: Pleasant Cooperation
The emblem of Knight Group was printed on the door of the business car.
Raymond Yates immediately approached with a broad smile and proactively opened the car door for Damian Knight,
"Young Master Knight!"
Damian Knight nodded slightly, bent down, and got out of the car, greeting Raymond Yates, "President Yates."
Raymond Yates gestured warmly but without flattery and said, "Young Master Knight, please come inside. I’ve already booked a private room, it’s by the river, so we can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Rivain River while having our meal."
Damian Knight nodded slightly and followed Raymond Yates into Zale Hotel.
As Raymond Yates described, he had chosen the best-positioned private room, with half of the Rivain River’s scenery visible through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
But Damian Knight had no leisure to enjoy the view.
He began directly, "Chairman Yates, it’s our first meeting, and I’m not one to beat around the bush, so I’ll get straight to the point. Are you interested in partnering with Knight Group for the newly developed land in Zale?"
Raymond Yates’ eyes widened suddenly, momentarily unable to believe his ears.
"Young Master Knight, did I hear that correctly?"
Damian Knight’s lips curved slightly, "You heard correctly. I want to collaborate with you. Does Chairman Yates want to partner with us?"
"Of course, absolutely!" Raymond Yates nodded vigorously, but then he couldn’t help but question, "Young Master Knight, may I ask why? As far as I know, you originally planned to partner with Thomas Lewis. Besides... to be honest, the Lewis Group has the backing of the Grant Group. Although their company is about the same size as ours, they have more resources. Why didn’t you choose them and chose us instead?"
Raymond Yates is an honest man who can’t keep questions to himself and asks directly.
Damian Knight doesn’t dislike Raymond Yates for being straightforward; he appreciates honest people without too many twists.
Moreover, the Yates Group isn’t backed by the Grant Family, so there’s no need to worry about the Grant Family causing trouble from behind.
He said calmly, "Because I can’t stand being stood up."
Raymond Yates was stunned for a moment, only to hear Damian Knight add, "I also can’t stand the Grant Family."
With that statement, Raymond Yates instantly understood why Damian Knight abandoned Thomas Lewis and chose him instead.
Thomas Lewis has several projects with the Grant Family, and his sister is married to the chairman of Grant Group. The two families have deep connections, so if Damian Knight dislikes the Grant Family, the reason for choosing the Yates Group is apparent.
Raymond Yates straightened his back and made a decision instantly.
"Young Master Knight, may our collaboration be successful!"
"Successful collaboration!" Damian Knight extended his hand, which Raymond Yates promptly grasped firmly.
The project manager stepped forward timely to present the contract.
"Chairman Yates, if you have no objections to the project plan, please sign. We can commence immediately."
"Great, wonderful!" Raymond Yates signed his name directly and decisively without even looking at the proposal.
Everyone knows that any project Knight Group is interested in is bound to be successful. With this major order, he will no longer be suppressed by the allies of Grant Group and Lewis Group.
The Yates Group has finally seen hope!
...
Meanwhile.
At the largest golf course in Rivain.
Thomas Lewis sat under a sunshade, watching two women with stunning figures play golf.
As they bent over and raised their hands, the scenery ahead could be seen clearly.
At that moment, an aide came over to report.
"Chairman, the person has arrived."
"Hmm, bring them over."
