Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth

Jared cast a sharp glance at Leon. The more frustrated Leon seemed, the more fearless Leslie appeared. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Leon was allowing the other party to see through their desperation. Jared shot Leon a sideways glance, signaling him to sit down.

Leon reluctantly took his seat, grinding his teeth.

“Let’s get back to the point and talk about this collaboration. I’m willing to offer seven million to buy out the chip technology in your hands. You should know that no one in the whole of Seacester can offer a higher price than me,” Jared said.

Seven million? Others had invested more in One Technology than that in the early stages. The Synder Corporation simply wanted to buy out the technology and meticulously calculated costs, all without any regard for the time and effort invested.

Jared was indeed skilled in business negotiations.

With the current capabilities of Synder Corporation, the seven million he spent on the technology would turn into 70 million or even 700 million. They would earn an

astronomical profit.

This was exactly how they used to pressure young people into selling their technology at the lowest price possible.

Research and development were arduous tasks that required money, time, and energy. Falling behind even a little could lead to the brink of collapse.

The Synder Corporation had no shortage of time and money. It’s why they exerted their power over those who tried to start from scratch, manipulating them in their moments.

of crisis.

However, Leslie wasn’t lacking in those resources. His goal in founding One Technology upon returning to the country was to bring down Synder Corporation.

He placed his hand on the table and tapped his fingers lightly. Despite his calm demeanor, his tone made both Leon and Jared feel uneasy.

Leon chuckled lightly. “I’m afraid a small company like yours doesn’t even have that much registered capital, do you? You’re just feeling smug about developing a replacement for ML chips.

“Even if your company has connections overseas, foreigners can’t meddle in our affairs. here. I advise you to take the money and transfer the ownership of the technology. Otherwise, it might just rot away in your hands.”

Leon’s words were a blatant threat.

Jared’s expression softened as he began to play the good cop. “Leon, don’t speak so harshly. Seacester still welcomes fresh blood. I do hope this young man in front of us can grow further in the future.

“If we had someone like him working for us, I’d treasure him. Still, if he doesn’t understand the situation, he’s destined to be eliminated.”

Leslie understood immediately what Jared was implying. This was the first time he had seen a person try to poach someone at the negotiation table.

Not only were they trying to poach staff, but they were also threatening Leslie. They were threatening to blacklist him from the industry if he refused to join Synder Corporation.

Even Daniel came close to snapping at their ridiculous attitude.

If Synder Corporation was this audacious in front of them, one could only imagine how much harsher and dangerous their words would be in front of other newer companies.

At this moment, Leslie calmly opened the document. With a flick of his fingers, he slid it in front of Jared and Leon. “The contract is here. If it works for you, sign it. If not, you’re

welcome to leave.‘

Leon glanced at the contract and widened his eyes. “70 million? Do you really think your shabby firm is worth that much?”

Jared tensed and the look in his eyes sharpened. “Mr. Leslie, one shouldn’t be so greedy.”

Leslie leaned back on the chair, his presence formidable. “70 million.”

“14 million! That’s my final compromise and I want ownership of the technology,” Jared demanded.

“70 million and it’s just going to be a sales contract,” Leslie counterproposed.

Jared narrowed his eyes and began panting heavily. “14 million!”

“70 million,” Leslie said.

Jared was instantly rendered speechless by Leslie’s stubbornness.

Leslie ignored his rage and pointed at the door. “Goodbye. All the best to the Synder Corporation.”

If Synder Corporation failed to launch new products again the next month, their stock would only drop further.

Jared stared at Leslie. His imposing presence caused Jared to hesitate.

As soon as Jared hesitated, he knew he had lost.

He took out a pen from his pocket, but Leon stopped him. “Dad, no way. This is too humiliating.”

“Do you have a better way? I told you to reach out to ML and you didn’t even manage to meet with their founder. If we wait any longer, we will all be doomed,” Jared snapped.

“But…” Leon stammered.

“There’s no ‘but‘… Besides, we will get this money back soon,” Jared whispered, his glinting eyes reflecting the schemes he was planning.

Leon realized that One Technology was doomed.

After signing the contract, Leslie didn’t get up and simply said, “Have a good day, Mr. Synder.”

Together with Leon, Jared left without looking back.

Leslie lowered his gaze to the golden ring on his finger and thought of Aurelia. Her father’s blessing was indeed quite effective.

As he curled his lips, he heard a familiar voice from the neighboring room shout, “Wait!”

Leslie wondered if Aurelia was nearby.
