“Mr. Brooke, have you ever heard of the Stardust Corporation?” Cheyenne didn’t answer Aston directly and instead asked this question.
Aston nodded. “I’ve naturally heard of the famous Stardust Corporation. After all, its market value and influence are ranked at the top among the well-known enterprises in the US. Besides, the Stardust Corporation has the support of the Huttons, a powerful family in DC, and their power can’t be underestimated. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the Stardust Corporation is the most influential company in Orange County.”
Cheyenne smiled. “Mr. Brooke, since you know how powerful the Stardust Corporation is, do you know that the Brilliance Corporation has already reached a long-term strategic partnership with the Stardust Corporation, which will begin in the near future?
“Besides, the Brilliance Corporation is also in preparation to sign various business contracts with the Sawyer Corporation belonging to Ethan Sawyer, the richest man in Orange County. To be honest, we aren’t short of cooperation objects, but we have to pick our partners wisely because there are so many to choose from.
“Under such circumstances, do you still think that the Solar Corporation, a foreign enterprise without any roots in Orange County, has any competitive advantage to convince us to cooperate with you?”
Cheyenne’s words completely broke Aston’s prideful heart!
Although Aston had gained some understanding of the current situation of some enterprises in Orange County, the people of the Brilliance Corporation were definitely clearer about its current development situation.
Thus, Aston had tried to find out about the Brilliance Corporation from Scarlet Wright.
However, the Brilliance Corporation once belonged to the Carters and had been developing poorly under their management. And as soon as they lost the Brilliance Corporation, the performance of the Brilliance Corporation soared, especially with the support of the Stardust Corporation and the Sawyer Corporation. It managed to win the favor of countless companies of all sizes in the county, thus allowing its market value to increase countless times overnight. And there were numerous companies that wanted to cooperate with the Brilliance Corporation.
Faced with this situation, the Carters were feeling sour.
In particular, Cheyenne even managed to make a comeback and become the new general manager of the Brilliance Corporation, making Scarlet even more furious and jealous. So she wouldn’t say anything nice about the Brilliance Corporation.
Scarlet made the Brilliance Corporation out to be a perennial family business that suffered losses every year. She said that many managerial positions were vacant as a result of poor management after the takeover. She even claimed that there was internal corruption, strife, power struggles, bribery, and all sorts of other disreputable vices in the company.
In particular, Scarlet also informed Aston about Jane Harper’s arrest, further reinforcing her point.
The reason Aston went to Cheyenne today to talk about cooperating wasn’t that he had his eyes on the potential of the Brilliance Corporation. It was purely because he wanted to take this opportunity to get close to her and eventually find a way to make the Brilliance Corporation a springboard for the Brookes to expand into Orange County.
Moreover, Aston had already tried to cooperate with larger companies before going to the Brilliance Corporation, such as the Stardust Corporation and the Sawyer Corporation that Cheyenne had mentioned. However, he was turned down by all of them.
Aston felt that Brilliance Corporation was his second-best choice and that he was doing it a favor by offering it the opportunity to cooperate with him. He thought that Cheyenne should be grateful to him.
However, her words just now were a huge blow to him.
Cheyenne directly expressed her disdain for the opportunity he offered.
“I didn’t expect the Brilliance Corporation to be so powerful. I’ve failed to find out enough. Pardon me,” Aston apologized with a wry smile.
He continued, “In fact, since the Brilliance Corporation is also seeking competent cooperative partners, why don’t you consider the Brookes? After all, we are very competent and capable. If we cooperate together, we’ll definitely reach a win-win cooperation! In the future, if Brilliance Corporation wants to develop its market in LA, we can also provide a lot of support to make things more convenient for you. What do you think, Miss Carter?”
Cheyenne thought for a while and felt that what he said did make some sense. “I’ll consider your offer to cooperate, Mr. Brooke. However, forming a cooperation agreement is very important after all, and it isn’t up to me alone. How about this? I’ll contact you if we confirm that we’d like to cooperate with your family.”
“Okay, I’ll be waiting for good news. This is my business card. Please contact me when the time comes.” Aston handed his business card to Cheyenne and pretended to be gentlemanly before getting up to leave.
After he left, Cheyenne immediately gave Lucas a call and told him about Aston Brooke coming to seek cooperation with the Brilliance Corporation.
After all, Lucas was the person who was really in charge of the Brilliance Corporation.
He simply answered, “Turn him down. We will reject all cooperation with the Brookes.”
Although Cheyenne didn’t quite understand why he rejected the Brookes so resolutely without hesitation, since he had already made a decision, she naturally wouldn’t disrespect his opinion.
Afterward, Cheyenne tossed the business card Aston gave into the shredder.
When it was time to get off work in the afternoon, Lucas drove over as usual to pick up Cheyenne from work before driving to the kindergarten to pick Amelia up.
During the journey, Lucas suddenly said, “If Brooke comes again, just chase him out straight away and don’t let him get close to you.”
Cheyenne was stunned. Only after a while did she realize that Lucas was referring to Aston Brooke, who came to see her this morning.
Cheyenne disliked Aston too, but she was still puzzled about why Lucas detested him that much. She asked curiously, “What did that person do to make you hate him so much?”
“He’s a hypocrite who looks gentlemanly and refined on the surface but is actually a playboy and a philandering scumbug who has cheated on and toyed with many women. He even caused the deaths of many women. He has an ulterior motive for trying to get close to you, so you should be careful,” Lucas said seriously.
Cheyenne was stunned. She could vaguely feel that Aston wasn’t a good person, but she didn’t expect him to be such scum and even caused the death of others.
“How did you find out about this?” Cheyenne asked in bewilderment.
Lucas didn’t say that he had already had someone investigate Aston clearly from the moment they first met and Aston gawked at Cheyenne with an evil gaze.
Instead, he turned to Cheyenne and asked, “Do you still remember that Charlotte used to court a boy when she was in college?”
“Mr. Brooke, have you ever heard of the Stardust Corporation?” Cheyenne didn’t answer Aston directly and instead asked this question.
Aston nodded. “I’ve naturally heard of the famous Stardust Corporation. After all, its market value and influence are ranked at the top among the well-known enterprises in the US.
