My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1570

Hendrix raised his head to glance at me, and then continued eating slowly while explaining, "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 to come to foster the relationship 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 place reluctantly.

Once a business had become a publicly listed company, building a good rapport with an investor was inevitable to achieve international expansion. For those companies whose foundation was not strong enough, they might have ended up selling their companies 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 potential competitors. 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 become internationally well-known under his leadership. In merely five years, he had managed to move the company headquarters to Jarold City. There was also some long-term development in his business planning.

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 the company reached a certain scale, even if it did not innovate, there would also be countless uninvited client companies approaching them for collaboration. 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 Oakland finished yet?" I asked.

From my side, I could see Estella'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 Estella usually work?" I thought to myself.

After being in the workplace for a long time, I had more or less some understanding of the matters between secretaries and supervisors. The tricks those pretty secretaries played were comparable to lustful supervisors who would take advantage of them. In that case, who was the one who'd taken the initiative to arrange for Estella and Hendrix to work together?

As I took a closer look, Estella was not stunningly pretty. She looked very obedient when she was focusing on her work. All in all, she was someone who was very comfortable 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."
