Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Sign the Contract in Advance
As the family of three arrived at the entrance, a familiar voice soon echoed from nearby.
“Mr. Chen! What are you doing here?”
Katherine rushed over excitedly and respectfully performed a deep bow.
Today, the young lady was dressed in a gown, looking very elegant.
Chen Yu was also somewhat surprised; as a direct descendant of William’s family, Katherine should have been staying in Frankfurt. Why had she suddenly come here, and dressed so formally at that?
“I’m out traveling with my wife and child! What about you? Why are you dressed so grandly?”
Katherine pointed towards the picture on the church, “To attend the Edward Family’s wedding, one must, of course, dress up.”
Chen Yu’s brows furrowed slightly, “You’re saying that person is from the Edward family?”
“That’s right, he is the current head of the family, Brown Edward!”
Tong Ya beside him was slightly stunned, subconsciously glancing back at the wedding poster.
As a child, she had met the leaders of various ancient royal families in the West and had seen Brown when he was a child.
But just now, her attention had been all on Fang Yuan, and she hadn’t noticed Brown.
Looking at him now, Brown still bore some resemblance to how he looked in his childhood.
Katherine reached into her gown and after rummaging around, she pulled out a few invitations.
“Mr. Chen, this is an invitation to the inner ceremony of the wedding. Mr. Victor will be attending as well!”
Chen Yu’s brows furrowed slightly—he really did not want to accept the invitation before him.
On one hand, the person getting married was his ex-wife, and on the other was his delicate relationship with William’s family.
Just as he was about to refuse, Tong Ya suddenly reached out and took the invitation.
“That’s great, Tong Group still has some overseas contracts to sign with William’s family!”
Chen Yu looked at Tong Ya with a hint of confusion, not quite understanding what was going through the young lady’s mind.
But now, Tong Ya’s decision, in a sense, represented his decision.
Moreover, since the invitation was already accepted, he didn’t feel it was appropriate to say much else.
“By the way, Mr. Chen, last time Mr. Victor had investigated the Eastern market and found that the semi-finished products sold by your company are very popular, hence he is interested in introducing them to the Western market.”
Chen Yu perked up at this; lately, Hou Jianchang had been bringing him good news—factory efficiency had increased manifold compared to before.
Furthermore, a comprehensive cooperation with Tong Group had been achieved.
According to the current factory operations, they could achieve a production cost of three billion a month, with a net profit reaching one billion eight hundred million.
This was after deducting the factory’s various basic expenses and worker benefits.
However, the products leaving the factory were barely enough to supply Tong Group; to supply the Western market, they would have to expand their factory.
“At present, it appears that introducing my products to the Western market will take some time. The question is whether Mr. Victor can wait that long.”
“Of course!” Katherine raised her wrist and gently tapped a few times on the device attached to it.
“If Mr. Chen is willing, I can sign an order with you right now, although my authority is limited—Mr. Victor has only granted me the power to exercise three billion.”
Chen Yu was slightly taken aback; in his view, Katherine was at most an executor for William’s family.
To put it bluntly, a steward!
“`
I couldn’t believe Victor actually gave Katherine the authority to exercise three billion. Such immense trust.
“Aren’t we hurrying too much? Even if you sign the order with me right now, I’m afraid it’s going to take half a year to fulfill it, as I still have to expand the factory…”
