<h4>Chapter 135: 135. He is a big crocodile_1</h4>


    Even if it couldn’t catch up with major conglomerates like Jones and Qi’s, it was still among the top ranks nationwide.


    Therefore, when Chairman rk approached him, he considered for a few days and agreed.


    Chairman rk truly believed in him and entrusted him with full authority over all thepany’s decisions and operations. Nevertheless, when it came to Jones’s funding, he still formally consulted Chairman rk, who, to his surprise, rejected Jones’s investment.


    This was something he couldn’t understand, but he was someone who knew his ce. If the boss appreciated you, you had to respect the boss. Thus, even with the loss of a major sponsor like Jones, he could only feel regret and disappointment.


    Now that Chairman rk had handed over thepany to CEO Campbell, and CEO Campbell was young with ideas surely different from Chairman rk’s, he brought out the previous nning document.


    With that thought, he again said to Elly Campbell, "Jones has substantial financial power. With Jones’s financial support, our development would be much faster."


    Elly Campbell had already finished reviewing the nning document provided by Jones, and she had to admit that the people from Jones had done an excellent job; she couldn’t find any faults. But...


    Jones’s belonged to Adam Jones, and she didn’t want to have anything to do with Adam at all. To raise funds, Jones was not the only option.


    "Mr. Ainley, I understand and agree with your point, but have you considered one thing? Ourpany started with technological research and development. All of this technology is our proprietary patent. We’ve invested countless manpower and financial resources into R&D. If Jones invests money, they will surely covet our R&D technologyter on."


    Seeing Greenhill Ainley fall silent, she continued, "Technology is the soul of apany. Mr. Ainley, I won’t hide it from you, President Jones of the Jones conglomerate is my ex-husband. I am more familiar with his tactics than you are. He’s a big crocodile, not a small fish, and he is not someone willing to make wedding dresses for others."


    Greenhill Ainley was a bit surprised to hear that Adam Jones was Elly Campbell’s ex-husband.


    "Jones has sizable industrialpanies under its g with fields simr to ourpany. There’s no reason for him to finance us and help ourpany develop topete with his ownpanies. Why would President Jones agree to do such a thankless task?"


    Elly Campbell smiled. She was naturally incredibly beautiful, and as she smiled, leaningzily against the chairback, her beauty was so dazzling that it was mesmerizing.


    "Even if Adam has made no moves now, he will certainlye up with other methodster."


    She tapped the nning document in front of her with the pen in her hand and said, "Ourpany has the technical strength; what weck is funding. Steady and careful development may be slow, but as long as we can hold our ground, everything will be ours. At any time, whatever we do, we won’t seem passive. Don’t you agree?"


    Elly Campbell spoke steadily, her voice neither light nor heavy, her arguments clear and supported by reason. Even though Greenhill Ainley had thought of how to counter if Elly Campbell refused, he found himself speechless at that moment.


    He looked at Elly Campbell, who was much younger than him, only in her mid-twenties, and seemed quite young in his eyes.


    But Greenhill Ainley was not someone who easily judged others’ capabilities, nor would he assess people’s abilities based solely on age and gender. Therefore, even when Chairman rk had handed thepany over to a youngdy, it didn’t concern him much.


    Everything would be evident after working with Elly Campbell for a while.
