Chapter 690: Observing Quietly
People often only see the massive profits of big companies, but they fail to notice that when a crisis hits, these same companies sometimes fall faster than smaller ones.
Profit and risk go hand in hand—the more you earn, the more risk you carry.
Take this time, for example: if the motor company had completed the contract with Soren, their profit would’ve exceeded one hundred million, with future recurring income from services like maintenance.
But the risk was just as high—like the nine hundred million in penalty fees.
If Mr. Wadrick could save the consortium from that penalty and avoid other associated losses, something once out of reach—joining the board chairman group—might become possible.
Pressed by Lynch’s relentless questioning, he finally spoke the truth. The moment he did, he felt a wave of relief sweep through him.
“Yes. If you can get Soren to propose a settlement, I’ll be able to join the board chairman group.” He repeated it, as much to Lynch as to himself.
The voice on the other end of the phone was noticeably more relaxed. “Every effort deserves a reward. I’ll talk to Soren. You handle your end and let me know…”
If Mr. Wadrick became one of the chairmen of the Merrick Consortium, he’d be a major ally for Lynch.
