Merchants place even greater emphasis on profit.

In Gonzalez City, over a hundred entrepreneurs dropped their affairs to gather at Five-state International, not simply to enjoy a meal.

Even the least of them boasts a net worth of millions; countless others own assets exceeding a hundred million.

They arrived punctually today to finalize the scheme for profit distribution.

Bran Cook represents the big financial groups, with the support of many large enterprise owners in Gonzalez City.

In return, the proposals Bran Cook put forward favor large enterprise owners, enabling them to grow larger and gradually take over smaller businesses, eliminating these smaller entities and acquiring them at low prices.

According to Bran Cook’s plan, the business alliance would distribute benefits based on the total assessed assets of the enterprises.

This way, some shell companies, or those with low profitability, would end up occupying a substantial share of the profits.

Yet, smaller businesses often have much stronger revenue-generating capabilities than these larger enterprises.

Ultimately, it would amount to small businesses working for the larger ones, with capitalists simply lying back and counting money.

However, Quella Radcliffe proposed distributing profits based on contribution ratio.

This suggestion garnered support from most small enterprise owners, but their say in Gonzalez City is weak.

They can’t afford to speak out because doing so would inevitably offend the larger businesses.

Under such circumstances, their situation would only worsen.

The Radcliffe Group, where Quella Radcliffe works, is a medium-sized enterprise in Gonzalez City, representing the interests of small and medium-sized enterprises.

And her role as the General Manager is the foundation on which she gambles against Bran Cook.

If she wins, her position shall remain secure for a while.

If she loses, Bran Cook will take her place as General Manager.

Not only would Quella Radcliffe lose everything, but she might also have to pay a heavy price.

“We’ve argued about this matter for a whole day without reaching a result, Chairman, what do you think?”

“Exactly! Neither side is willing to compromise, and I really can’t agree with President Radcliffe’s distribution plan!”

“Absolutely! We’re not satisfied with President Radcliffe’s proposal, but we think Bran Cook’s suggestion is good, and we could give it a try!”

Hearing Itai Huntington bring up the issue, everyone started discussing animatedly, each offering their opinion.

“I’m well aware of everyone’s viewpoints, and I understand them completely,” Itai Huntington replied with a smile and a nod, “Please calm down, everyone. There definitely won’t be a result that satisfies all, and I’m sure you wouldn’t agree to majority rules either.”

“Right! We definitely won’t agree to that!”

“If we’re doing majority rules, then what counts as the majority? Our few businesses make up most of Gonzalez City’s market valuation. Even all the small businesses put together are just a fraction of us! So are we the majority, or the minority?”

“This is a huge issue in itself! The business alliance has just been established, so we must come up with an acceptable explanation, or we won’t agree!”

The big business owners started to make a ruckus, while the smaller enterprises silently protested.

Staying quiet was their way of objecting.

In the face of such a trend, the small and medium-sized enterprises simply couldn’t afford to leave the alliance.

If they left, they would have nowhere to lay their heads in death.

If these large enterprises band together, they could easily monopolize the market and crush the smaller ones.

Small enterprise owners had no choice but to hope that Quella Radcliffe could secure a fair profit distribution plan.

“Since everyone is sticking to their guns, I think we should each elect a representative to negotiate,” Itai Huntington suggested.

Bran Cook slowly stood up and looked towards Itai Huntington on the stage, “Sister, what’s your opinion?”

“We agree!”

“That’s right, Young Master Cook is our representative!”

“We think Young Master Cook should be the General Manager. Quella Radcliffe simply isn’t cut out for it!”

The crowd of large business owners began to cheer wildly below.

Meanwhile, Itai Huntington watched everything from the stage.

They wanted exactly this kind of effect.

As the two factions argued, they would weave between them, reaping the benefits!

Just like ancient emperors who tolerated factional fights to maintain balance, the wisest choice.

The more intense the struggle between the two factions, the greater the personal benefits for Itai.

Although having promised Julius Reed to help Quella Radcliffe hold onto the position of General Manager,

public sentiment is not something that can be commanded. As Chairman of the business alliance, they also had to consider the wishes of its members.

“So, if that’s the case, then…”

Itai Huntington turned to Quella Radcliffe, “President Radcliffe, do you represent the other side?”

“I do!”

Quella Radcliffe stood up, speaking evenly and assertively.

She was the Chairman of the Radcliffe Group herself, and such a profit distribution was, indeed, the best option for Radcliffe Group.

“Regarding the business alliance, I’ve heard from Chairman Huntington that we need to invite a celebrity spokesperson to promote us, to attract more substantial enterprise investments,” she continued.

Bran Cook stood up, hands in his pockets, and looked at Itai Huntington, “Sister, that’s the thing, right?”

“Indeed,” Itai Huntington nodded. “Our business alliance is essentially a huge new enterprise. And the first thing for an enterprise is to build a brand image. The simplest and most straightforward way is to find a spokesperson who brings massive traffic.”

This matter had come up at today’s meeting already.

It was just that, due to the significant divergence in opinions regarding profit distribution, it was set aside for the moment.

Itai Huntington didn’t know why Bran Cook was bringing this up now or what he intended.

“Since this matter concerns the future of our business alliance, I’d like to make a bet with President Radcliffe,” Bran Cook said, turning to face Quella Radcliffe. “Throughout history, high positions have been occupied by the capable, correct? President Radcliffe is the Willson Group’s handpicked General Manager, and Cook wouldn’t dare make unwarranted comments.”

He went on with a heavier tone, “But if one cannot convince the crowd, being in that position would only lead to disgrace! Regarding the selection of a celebrity spokesperson, I want to bet with President Radcliffe on who can secure someone of higher status! If President Radcliffe brings someone better than I do, Cook will henceforth follow your instructions without dissent, never opposing your directives!”

Turning around, he pointed to the business owners behind him, “My supporters and I will also back you fully, acknowledging your role as the General Manager!”

“And if you win?” Quella Radcliffe met his gaze and asked.

The marketplace has always been a battlefield without smoke.

If she couldn’t convince those present, Quella Radcliffe herself wouldn’t want to be the General Manager.

What Bran Cook said was true—it would be nothing but self-humiliation.

Instead, Quella Radcliffe eagerly awaited this chance to prove herself!

To demonstrate that she was more capable than Bran Cook!

She had never been one to admit defeat.

“If I win! The profit distribution plan will follow my proposal! And the position of General Manager will be mine to occupy! The capable take the throne!” Bran Cook roared with emotion.

“I agree!”

Quella Radcliffe, her gaze steadfast, looked at Itai Huntington, “Please bear witness, Chairman, I am willing to take a gamble with Bran Cook!”
