Chapter 1570


    Hendrix raised his head to nce at me, and then continued eating slowly while exining, "The


    Roberts Group has managed to build up its reputation in our country, and international expansion is


    a must for the group. The group has not explored the construction market here, and this time they''d


    taken the initiative toe to foster the rtionship with us, they may have the intention of


    acquiring us."


    I''d just said it casually, but I hadn''t expected it to happen. Seeing that serious expression on his


    face, I was at a loss for words at the moment. I put the file back into its original ce reluctantly.


    Once a business had be a publicly listedpany, building a good rapport with an investor


    was inevitable to achieve international expansion. For thosepanies whose foundation was not


    strong enough, they might have ended up selling theirpanies and leaving the industry after


    receiving the money. All the technological resources would be handed over to those investors. Even


    before they''d managed to enter the international market, they would have lost their hands.


    People were willing to die for money. Capitalists took advantage of this to plunder technical


    resources to expand their businesses, and at the same time restricting the development of domestic


    enterprises. On one hand, they could get rid of potentialpetitors. On the other hand, they could


    improve their capacity to achieve economic leadership.


    Obviously, Hendrix wouldn''t betray Roberts Group, not just because the Roberts Group was his


    family business, but more importantly, because of his personal ambition.


    Valeria and Freya had mentioned many times that Hendrix was not an ordinary person. One day,


    the Roberts Groups would be internationally well-known under his leadership. In merely five


    years, he had managed to move thepany headquarters to Jarold City. There was also some


    long-term development in his business nning.


    There was no end when it came to a man''s pursuit in his business. The greater the capability, the


    farther the scope of vision.


    Of course, as Hendrix said, when thepany reached a certain scale, even if it did not innovate,


    there would also be countless uninvited clientpanies approaching them for coboration. The


    GW Group was the best example. At that time, in order to enter the market here, they had humbled


    themselves in front of Roberts Group.


    They had tried to offer capital to the Roberts Group, trying to take advantage of the Roberts Group''s


    strong foundation here. The Roberts Group would be their first target to acquire.


    There were risks in doing business. That was why Hendrix was so serious when it came to


    financing.


    I felt that he had been too nervous about it. After a moment of silence, I changed the topic and


    looked towards the door. "Hasn''t the project in Oand finished yet?" I asked.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    From my side, I could see Este''s working table. When I spoke, I could see that she was busy with


    her work. She kept standing up and sitting back down again after a while. I could observe


    everything she did clearly.


    "Is it how Hendrix and Este usually work?" I thought to myself.


    After being in the workce for a long time, I had more or less some understanding of the matters


    between secretaries and supervisors. The tricks those pretty secretaries yed wereparable to


    lustful supervisors who would take advantage of them. In that case, who was the one who''d taken


    the initiative to arrange for Este and Hendrix to work together?


    As I took a closer look, Este was not stunningly pretty. She looked very obedient when she was


    focusing on her work. All in all, she was someone who was veryfortable to get along with.


    Vincent, the boy I''d bumped into at the mall, was actually well-matched with her. Was it because of


    Hendrix that she kept rejecting him?


    Thinking of this, I turned to Hendrix and started scrutinizing him.


    Hendrix did not notice anything unusual. He sat on the sofa, with his slender, bony fingers, and


    there was no expression on his face. He said indifferently, "Evan reported on the video conference


    in the afternoon, saying that they ran into some trouble. He still needs a bit more time before


    everything can get settled."
