    Chapter 1542 Nothing Left To Discuss


    “Roxanne is equipped with the technology, while the medicinal herbs provided by the Damaris family


    were only used to produce one batch of medicine. If you aren''t satisfied with the profit division, that''s


    fine. The financial gain from this batch of medicine manufactured using the medicinal herbs contributed


    by the Damaris family can be split ording to your wish. Still, the research institute also has the right


    to only sign the contract with you for this batch of medicine only.”


    At that point, Lucian talked slower. “And that means after this batch of medicines ispletely sold,


    Roxanne can still look for another medicinal herbs supplier to coborate with her because she has the


    manufacturing technology. But what about Damaris Group? Are you able to find another research


    institute that can produce this medicine?”


    His words tantly expressed the research institute''s dominance in that deal with Damaris Group.


    In short, Damaris Group wasn''t Roxanne''s only choice.


    Inparison, Damaris Group could only rely on Roxanne to produce the medicine.


    Hence, the research institute should''ve been the leading party in that cooperation from the beginning.


    As for Damaris Group, it became Jack''s decision whether to choose a long-term, steady yield or a high


    amount of short-term profit.


    Jack didn''t expect Lucian to make that move. He met thetter''s eyes impassively while speaking to


    Roxanne.


    “Ms. Jarvis, are you sure you wish to discuss the terms of this coboration with Damaris Group on a


    pure business paradigm? In your opinion, is Damaris Group just an existence you can toss aside after


    you achieve your goal?”


    She nced at Lucian and he nodded at her. Subsequently, Roxanne braced herself and pursed her


    lips in silence, considering that a response to Jack''s question.


    Lucian uttered righteously, “There are no friends when doing business. You should understand that


    concept better than Roxanne, Mr. Damaris. Profit division has always been the most crucial and


    demanding battle in the business field. Aren''t you attempting to appeal to Roxanne''s emotions with


    friendship and unscrupulously forcing her to concede now?”


    Jack''s negotiating skills were significantly inferior to Lucian''s. As a result, Jack''s face became contorted


    in anger.

    A long silenceter, he said stiffly, “I cannot ept this profit division arrangement!”


    Lucian chimed in, “Perhaps I should let you see the profit division arrangement used by Farwell Group


    when we are in control of the technological aspect of a deal. Maybe you''ll feel contented with the


    current offer after seeing the numbers.”


    In other words, if Lucian were to take charge of the profit division matter entirely, the Damaris family''s


    financial gain would only be reduced further.


    The friendly facade on Jack''s countenancepletely dissipated as he stared at them grimly.


    “If you can ept my offer, we''ll sign the agreement now. If you aren''t, our research institute is willing


    to hire a professional third party to evaluate Damaris Group''s contributions in the early phase and


    compensate you at ten times the price.” Roxanne nudged the agreement toward him.


    Without taking one look at the contract, Jack tore it in half and tossed it back on the table.


    Roxanne was taken aback by his reaction.


    In the past, Jack had always shown his gentlemanly side to her. Not to mention, he was the heir to a


    prestigious family in the traditional medicine business, so she was under the assumption he would


    prioritize keeping up a polite and gentle appearance.


    Little did she anticipate he would do something as impulsive as that.


    The atmosphere inside the office abruptly turned tense.


    Jack said, “If I remember correctly, we agreed to share the patent and split the profit equally when we


    first decided to work together on this project. Now that you''re casually altering the terms, I don''t think


    there is room for further discussion.”


    Roxanne replied with a frown, “You''ve also mentioned you would allow me ess to medical books as


    a reference. I agreed to share the patent because of that. However, I didn''t see any rted medical


    book from you, and I ended up inventing this technology on my own. Naturally, I have no reason to


    share the patent with you.”


    “If you can ept my offer, we''ll sign the agreement now. If you aren''t, our research institute is willing


    to hire a professional third party to evaluate Damaris Group''s contributions in the early phase and


    compensate you at ten times the price.” Roxanne nudged the agreement toward him.
