My Billionaire Mom -
Chapter 160
Yvette Jordan knew what they were thinking. Indeed, company cars were an important symbol of how successful a company was. She herself understood this.
But... this car was not that bad, was it? It was nice, quiet, and comfortable.
However, they simply rejected it the moment they laid eyes on it
Yvette sighed, "Please enter."
"Forget it. Since we're already here, let's go and have a look."
"After all, Susan introduced us to her, so it shouldn't be all that bad right?"
The two women said and got into the car.
She breathed a sigh of relief and said to Chuck Cannon, "Hubby, let's go."
He nodded. He could clearly see that the two women were looking down at Yvette.
Chuck could tell that Yvette was feeling upset. She didn't bring it up, but it was obvious. He needed to buy her a good car soon.
He got in the car and drove.
Yvette sat next to him.
After reaching the parking lot of the plaza, the two women got out of the car. Yvette told Chuck to go ahead with his own plans, but he shook his head. He wanted to stay by her side. Yvette was touched. She then brought the three of them into the company.
"Director Jordan, how did you get the idea of starting a company here?" Director Clare asked.
"There's a school nearby..."
"No, what I'm asking is, this plaza's location is quite remote. How did you replace this location? Is it because the rent is cheap?"
"There are many factors," Yvette said. The main reason was that it was close to her school, so she felt that it would be more convenient for her.
"Oh, so it must be because of the cheap rent." Director Clare said.
Yvette was speechless. Why did so many bosses think that this plaza was not suitable? It was indeed remote, but the business prospects of this venue looked good. At least that was what she thought. Moreover, the plaza had been developing rapidly recently, with many investments to improve the facilities here. This would mean that the owner of the plaza was working to renovate this place.
So the future of this plaza looked good. Perhaps it might even become an excellent place in the future. But she had just never met the plaza owner.
"The rent here will be quite expensive in the future," Yvette proudly said.
"I don't think so. I feel that the rent will get only cheaper and cheaper." Director Clare shook her head.
"I think so too, Director Jordan. The prospects of this location don't look that good. I feel it would be better if your company changed places." Director Ayana also said.
"The two of you are mistaken. The prospects of this plaza are very good, and the rent will only be more and more expensive," Chuck calmly said.
Yvette was shocked, her hubby really had a good eye.
The two women glanced at Chuck.
Director Clare shook her head. "You're wrong. This square is too remote. There are no office buildings around here except for the school nearby, and it doesn't seem that there are luxury boutiques here. This plaza is surviving on the income from those low-end businesses. The prospects here are worrying."
"That's right. The foot traffic here is miserable. Without customers and the profit they bring, these shops wouldn't even make enough money to stay afloat. I'm guessing that most of these shops are just barely holding on, and if they start to lose money, they will surely start to move out of here." said Director Ayana.
They had sharp eyes. Looking around, the plaza didn't seem to have many customers, and the shops were clearly recording losses. This would lead to a decline in the level of service provided and the loss of customers. In their minds, if things took a turn for the worse, then the only way out for this plaza would be to close down.
"Although there aren't many people now, there will be soon enough," Chuck said.
"Soon? I really don't see it." The two women shook their heads disdainfully.
"Yeah, there will be a movie production crew coming out to shoot a movie scene in this plaza soon."
A movie production crew? Yvette was shocked. Why didn't she hear of this?
"A movie production crew?" The two women were surprised, but soon laughed.
"What's the use of some rubbish production crew coming to shoot here? That would not help the plaza at all." Director Clare shook her head and laughed.
"The only reason any production crew would be shooting their scenes here would be because the cost is cheap. A poor production crew with outdated stars, it wouldn't help the plaza at all." Director Ayana laughed.
Any crew shooting their movie here would mean that they only had a cheap budget of maybe around one or two million dollars. It wouldn't even be watchable, much less attract crowds to come.
"I think you're mistaken. The director of this movie is the famously acclaimed Erica Yannic, and the female lead is Zabrina Yalden. Surely their appearance here would bring about some crowds right?" Chuck said.
He was now in the film industry. This definitely wouldn't be the only movie he invested in. For all his future movies, he planned for the production crew to shoot their scenes here. He had already started planning for his next movie, which would be a sort of secret dungeon film, also to be filmed here.
The two women were surprised. Of course, they had heard of Erica and Zabrina. Would they really be coming here to shoot the movie?
Yvette was even more stunned now. So did Zabrina come to their school the other time to discuss with Chuck about using the plaza as a backdrop for their movie? But shouldn't she discuss this with the plaza manager Yolanda Lane?
"What's more, there's not just one movie going to be filmed here, but many many more," Chuck continued.
"Alright then, it seems like we're wrong then. If this plaza was really chosen by them, then perhaps the boss of this plaza really had some skills." Director Clare said as she shook her head.
Director Ayana was envious. This plaza was so lucky to have been chosen as a movie shooting venue. Why didn't her farmhouse get that chance!
When they arrived at her company, Chuck saw the two of them criticizing every little detail and continuing to push the price down. Even at Yvette's absolute minimum price, they still wanted the fee to be cheaper.
Chuck knew what they were doing. They were trying to get the best service for the absolute cheapest price.
Yvette sighed coldly. She was under a lot of pressure. She still had a lot of loans to pay, and she absolutely needed them to accept her proposal.
"Let us think about it." The two of them stood up.
Yvette felt disappointed, their words could only mean that that they were not interested to deal business with her.
She couldn't afford to lower the fees for her to be at a loss right? Moreover, the teachers she hired were the best of the best, and the price which the two women were offering was already close to the wages she needed to pay for the teachers. So even if close to twenty people attended her training, she could only earn five to six hundred dollars per person at the maximum.
It was such a big concession, but they still weren't agreeing to it. There was nothing more she could do now.
"Let's not worry about that first. Shall we go for lunch and talk about it after?" Chuck said.
The two of them looked at each other. Did he really think he could persuade them to sign the contract with a mere lunch?
Impossible!
"There's no need for that." Director Clare shook her head. Agreeing to sign the contract over a meal worth two to three hundred dollars? It was not worth it.
"Yeah, we can eat at the airport."
"A meal at the airport doesn't even come close to a five-star hotel, don't you think?" He smiled.
"What? A five-star hotel?" The two of them were surprised. They expected them to treat them to a roadside stall for lunch, but they were actually bringing them to a five-star hotel! This......
Yvette was stunned. A five-star hotel? A meal like that would cost at least several thousand dollars!
"That's right. I know a five-star hotel that serves delicious seafood. Since both of you are already here, you should most definitely try it out," Chuck said.
"Is it really a five-star hotel?" Director Ayana asked tentatively.
"Of course." Chuck was confident that if this deal worked, they would surely recommend them to their friends and bring them more clients. The priority now was to convince them to sign the contract with Yvette With Yvette's capabilities, there was no doubt that these two women would become long-term customers.
The two women hesitated. They were close to agreeing to the terms, and since they were so generous to offer them such a meal, it wouldn't be right to reject them.
"Alright then." The two women nodded.
"Let's go then!" Chuck said as he led the two of them out. Yvette took out all the cash she had on her and gave it to Chuck. She was thankful to him for trying everything he could. She didn't even think of treating them to a meal to secure the business.
"Take it. It'll be expensive to eat at a five-star hotel. You can use this money to pay for it later," Yvette said.
Chuck laughed. Did he even have to pay for eating at his mother's hotel?
