Chapter 382: 382 Chapter Bran Cook’s Tactics_1
“A distinguished guest?”
Itai Huntington raised an eyebrow and asked, “How come I don’t know about any distinguished guest?”
Her purpose today was to let the people of Gonzalez City know that she was back.
She had planned to announce some big news at this cocktail party, but didn’t expect Julius Reed to mess things up for her, causing her to lose interest.
Now that Bran Cook mentioned a distinguished guest was coming, it naturally piqued her interest.
“Sister might not know, but I’ve used some significant connections to invite the general manager of Willson Group. The reason I came back from the capital city was to invest in building a factory here in Gonzalez City, to benefit the local folks,” Bran Cook said, regaining his confident smile. “The Willson Group emerged suddenly a few months ago, and even the young masters in the capital are paying great attention to it.”
“I know about the Willson Group. They appeared out of nowhere! Even those big families in Five-river Province are scrambling to curry favor with them!”
“I also know, very impressive indeed! At the last banquet held by Willson Group, my father and I took an interest and attended once. It was brilliantly golden and extravagantly luxurious!”
“I attended that banquet too. Not to mention anything else, just the location of Willson Tower and the building itself are worth a lot of money!”
All the rich second generation here have very wealthy families; their fathers are some of the most prominent figures in Gonzalez City, so they basically all attended the Willson Group’s banquet with their fathers.
According to Julius Reed’s instructions, the ingredients used for that banquet were all of the highest tier, and the entire dinner event was incredibly lavish. It was meant to show off the power of the Willson Group to the wealthy businessmen of Five-river Province.
From the words of these wealthy second generations, it was clear that the Willson Group was a gigantic entity!
Therefore, when they heard that Bran Cook had invited the general manager of Willson Group, everyone was very surprised.
Even Itai Huntington was quite amazed.
“Bran Cook, I heard that the chairman of Willson Group is very mysterious, and to this point, nobody has seen him, right?”
Itai Huntington also wanted to establish contact with the Willson Group, but she was in the capital city and had not been able to find the leader of the Willson Group.
Despite leveraging numerous connections in the capital, all she got was some insignificant information.
The Willson Group, unlike other conglomerates, had mysterious figures behind the scenes, possessing wealth that others couldn’t fathom.
It was said that the boss was a businessman from Taiwan, who, because of managing the family business, had not been able to come over to the mainland.
For Bran Cook to have been able to invite the general manager of the Willson Group was quite impressive indeed.
“Of course, Sister might not know that this general manager of the Willson Group is the brother-in-law of Xiao Feng Leopold from the Leopold family in the capital,” Bran Cook said with a faint smile, brimming with confidence. “If it were someone else, they definitely wouldn’t have the chance to meet this general manager. I am friends with Xiao Feng Leopold, and only because of him did he agree to help. His sister pestered him for a long time before the general manager agreed.”
“Bran Cook is truly formidable!”
“Amazing! Amazing! Truly deserving of being called the number one young master of Gonzalez City!”
“Following Bran Cook, we’re sure to make a fortune!”
The rich second generations once again started to admire Bran Cook.
The Willson Group was too mysterious. This company had a broad range of operations and was rumored to possess so much wealth that everyone lost count.
If one could enter into a partnership with the Willson Group, it would certainly be a lucrative deal with no losses!
Just thinking about making money by following Bran Cook excited everyone immensely.
“I’m just trying to do my bit for our hometown brothers. After all, when there’s money, we should all earn it together!”
Bran Cook thoroughly enjoyed the flattery from these people; his return was all about chasing after this feeling of being the center of attention,
In the capital, he was a lapdog for those powerful young masters, always bowing and scraping, behaving according to others’ looks.
Now that he had returned home in glory, he immediately straightened his back.
No one can resist this feeling; everyone has vanity.
Bran Cook was no exception.
“So you’ll have to introduce me to your sister,” Itai Huntington said with a gentle smile, walking up to Bran Cook. “My sister has also got a project recently, with money to be made together.”
“Since sister has spoken, I will definitely do my best to matchmake. It’s just… it’s just that the General Manager of Willson Group is quite proud and dismissive, which might require some patience from you, sister.”
Worried that Itai Huntington might misunderstand, Bran Cook quickly explained, “I didn’t mean it that way, it’s just that he might be a bit overbearing when he speaks. Please bear with him.”
To bed Itai Huntington was probably more than even the General Manager of Willson Group dared to dream.
It’s not that he didn’t dare, but that it wasn’t necessary to invite that kind of trouble.
“No problem, it’s all about making money!”
Itai Huntington chuckled and turned around.
“Here they come!”
At that moment, Bran Cook’s previously arrogant demeanor vanished, as he quickly trotted toward the entrance with a smile, calling out, “Director Thatch, you’ve arrived.”
A portly man with a big belly and a man in white walked in together.
“Boss?”
Upon seeing the man in white, Aaron Martin hurried over to introduce him to Bran Cook, “Bran Cook, this is my boss, Aron Jackson! I’ve mentioned him to you before.”
“Aron Jackson! I’ve heard so much about you!”
Bran Cook quickly extended his hand and shook Aron Jackson’s, politeness in his voice, “Back in the capital, I’ve long heard of the great name of Aron Jackson. Now that I see you, indeed you carry an air of valor!”
Upon returning to Gonzalez City, he had immediately got to grips with the local situation.
Learning that the entire martial world of Gonzalez City was in the hands of a man named Aron Jackson, he began to plot how to ingratiate himself with this formidable boss.
He started by approaching Aron Jackson’s employees, first enticing Aaron Martin with a hefty sum, then using him to contact Aron Jackson.
To his delight, Aaron Martin personally invited Aron Jackson to today’s social gathering, and his own boss honored the invitation.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you! I heard from my employee that Bran Cook has big plans for Gonzalez City, and of course, I had to come and see our young hero for myself. Don’t forget us when you get rich, Bran Cook!”
Aron Jackson also spoke politely.
As the boss of the martial community, it was his duty to monitor everything happening in Gonzalez City on behalf of Julius Reed.
The moment Bran Cook arrived and made such a scene, Aron Jackson had to come and assess the situation.
“On my way here, I happened to run into Aron Jackson, so we came together. There was a traffic jam on the road, and we’re a little late,” Thatch Rose said with a glance at his watch, speaking cheerfully.
He was another of Julius Reed’s men, implanted in the company as a mole, not part of the Ridge Family.
But apart from a few people like Julius Reed and Aron Jackson, no one else knew his true identity.
“No problem, the social just got started,” Bran Cook quickly extended his hand, making a welcoming gesture.
“Gentlemen, this way, please.”
The crowd parted to create a pathway.
Aron Jackson and Thatch Rose walked side by side towards the most secluded spot.
Just as they reached the piano, Aron Jackson caught sight of Julius Reed.
He was about to speak, but he saw Julius Reed shake his finger, signaling to pretend they didn’t know each other, and Aron Jackson sat down in his place.
Meanwhile, he wondered why Julius Reed hadn’t notified him of his own arrival?
“Ladies and gentlemen, today we are honored to have both the General Manager of Willson Group and Aron Jackson with us. Let’s discuss how we can invest in building factories in Gonzalez City!”
Leading the applause, Bran Cook waited for the clapping to cease before smiling lightly, “I propose we start by acquiring Radcliffe Group.”
