Chapter 315 - Contract Letter
Jack, who was very ready to meet Leonardo Ganke, the man he hated so much, now looked very excited, thatl Erick had to calm him down so he wouldn\'t overdo it when he was dealing with Leonardo Ganke, who was currently his co-worker. However, Jack had to keep his professionalism when he met Leon for a moment and harbored his annoyance at the German man.
"Where\'s my special guest?" Jack asked quietly at the receptionist who greeted him out of the elevator.
"Mr. Leonardo Ganke and his assistant are waiting for you in the waiting room in front of you," the receptionist answered quickly.
"Nice. Oh right, please order us lunch from the most delicious restaurant near our office. I want to welcome this special guest to the maximum," asked Jack suddenly as he stepped closer to the waiting room mentioned by the receptionist.
"Yes sir."
"Good."
After saying that, Jack then stepped back into the waiting room, where Leon was. But when he almost reached the room, Erick suddenly stopped Jack\'s steps.
"Remember sir, please don\'t get carried away. You have to be able to distinguish between personal and work problems. I\'m sure Leonardo\'s purpose here is to discuss work. So I hope you don\'t get too carried away when you meet him later," Erick whispered quietly.
Jack smiled at the words of his confidant. "If he really came here to discuss work, of course I would be professional, Erick, but I have a feeling that the opposite is true. I\'m sure he came here because he wanted to confirm the truth of the photos and videos that Anne had told me before, especially now that Anne has left his office. But don\'t worry, I\'m a player now. Years of dealing with people who only make faces in front of me have made me good at acting now, so don\'t worry."
"Yes, but…."
Erick\'s words were cut short when Jack touched the door handle and pushed him slowly into the waiting room.
"Welcome, Mr Ganke, sorry for making you wait so long," said Jack in a loud voice when he managed to open the door.
Leon and Wayne, who were sitting there, immediately got up when they saw Jack coming. Both of them then approached Jack, who was standing in front of the door with Erick behind him. Leon immediately reached out his hand to welcome Jack\'s hand.
"No sir, we only came a few minutes ago and thanks for meeting us both," Leon replied with a smile.
Jack gripped Leon\'s hand tightly to restrain his emotions. Meeting Leon in person made him remember what Anne had told him a moment ago, where Leon called Anne a cheap woman. However, because Leon came as a co-worker, Jack had to maintain his attitude.
After making small talk, Jack then invited Leon to sit on the sofa previously used by Leon and his assistant. Not long after, a receptionist came to bring soft drinks for the four men, who were talking casually in the waiting room. Initially, Jack wanted to invite Leon up to his room, but Leon refused. He said that he felt comfortable in the waiting room where they were currently in. As a result, they began to seriously discuss the cooperation contract in that room.
"I think that there are several points in this cooperation letter that are inappropriate, starting from the distribution of profits and the investment that you have invested in Ganke Inc. Production in this project, Mr. Muller," said Wayne Scott, slowly explaining to Jack some of the shortcomings in the contract letter that was currently being completed and was held by Jack.
"Didn\'t we all agree on this a few days after we agreed to cooperate with Ganke Inc. Production? Then why is this being discussed again? Hasn\'t this letter of cooperation also been approved by your legal team, sir?" asked Erick seriously in response to Wayne\'s words in place of Jack, who was just silent when he saw the cooperation letter which he thought was good. Therefore, he was surprised why Leon demanded the issue of the contents of the contract which discussed profit sharing and the amount of investment that Muller Finance International invested in Ganke Inc. Production.
"Didn\'t you say that you wanted to ask for a yield of about 20% of all the profits that Ganke Inc. Production would get? Then why did you change it and demand an increase to 25%? Isn\'t that a bit of a violation of the agreement we previously agreed on, sir?" Leon joined in.
"Well, isn\'t it clear in the contract that we hold that we ask for a profit of 25% then why do you say that the profit sharing is only 20%?" Erick asked quickly while showing a copy of the contract that Muller Finance International held.
"But in the contract letter that we hold, Muller Finance International agrees that you only get 20% profit, then why do you even show a copy of the contract containing the 25% profit sharing, sir? Even though it is clear that what we agreed on is the 20% one," replied Wayne Scott, not wanting to lose while showing the contract letter that had been prepared and he showed it to Erick, which in the contract contained a statement of profit sharing of 20% that would be received by Muller Finance International.
Erick, who felt guiltless, remained in his position. He continued to say that what was written in the contract letter was appropriate from the start when they decided to work together. However, Leonardo Ganke, represented by Wayne Scott, did not want to budge. He kept saying that what was written in the contract was not in accordance with the initial agreement. Especially now that Wayne was showing two kinds of contract papers, both of which have Jack\'s signature as CEO of Muller Finance International, that was why he insisted that Muller Finance International had manipulated the contract agreement.
Jack was silent. He was trying to digest the words of Wayne Scott who was Leonardo Ganke\'s personal assistant. He felt that there was nothing strange at all, so he insisted that nothing would change the contents of the cooperation agreement. From the beginning, he had asked for a profit sharing of 25% of the total profit obtained by Ganke Inc. Production, in which the amount of investment was proportional to the amount of profit he requested. Jack felt that this was also agreed by Leon and his team who were present at the signing of the collaboration at that time, so he felt very confused at the moment. Jack really felt that there was nothing wrong at all in the contract that Leon was currently arguing about, but on the other hand he felt strange that there were two kinds of contracts with different contents and both contracts had been signed by him.
"I was not present at the signing of this agreement, but I have read all of Mr. Ganke\'s contracts. That was why I feel confused why there are two types of contracts with different contents. Even when I confirmed to you, it turns out that you have a copy of the contract which contains a request for a profit sharing of 25%, while the contract we agreed to is a profit sharing of 20%. This is not a small project, sir, Ganke Inc. Production is a worldwide production house. Therefore, the profit we will get must be very large and this has been proven in our previous films. That\'s why we must be more careful when working together, so I was really disappointed when I found these two contracts with different contents. Especially when I confirmed to both of you, you actually held the copy of the contract in which the number of requests for profit sharing is greater than we agreed upon, and to be honest I was in shock and disbelief. And if I wanted to, I could sue Muller Finance International on charges of having falsified a contract," said Wayne Scott again enthusiastically. So far, Wayne Scott was known as a person who never lost in an argument. That was why his confidence was so high at the moment.
When the atmosphere was getting tense, suddenly the door of the waiting room was knocked from outside.
"Come in." Jack answered slowly in response to a knock on the door from outside.
After getting permission, the person who knocked on the door, who was none other than Anne, finally stepped into the room, where currently there was a very serious debate between Ganke Inc. Production and Jack.
"Am I disturbing?" asked Anne quietly without guilt.
Leon, who was sitting facing the door, was very shocked when he saw Anne. Anne, who was in front of him, was now beautiful. She looked very elegant in a peach mini dress above the knee with a slightly low chest and decorated with a necklace with a beautiful rose pendant, completed with a pair of white high heels on her feet, looked very suitable with the dress she was currently wearing.
"How could you be, honey," Jack answered quickly as he stood up to Anne and immediately hugged her tightly.
