How could I not have known? He just wanted to make use of my relationship with Hendrix to gain more ground in the bid!
Deep down, I didn't want to do it. But I did not refute in time, and just fell silent.
As he stared at me, his gaze was somewhat depressed. After a while, he said, "Of course, if you want to reject it, I will agree. However, there is a twenty percent commission from the project, and you will be missing out on it."
I was stunned for a moment. "Twenty percent?"
He raised his eyebrows and said, "For all our projects, the project manager gets twenty percent commission. It's been set since the company's establishment."
It was not that I didn't know commissions were common, but normally, they were in the range of five to ten percent!
However, a figure like this was tempting. It would mean a commission of at least five figures. If the project was bigger, it would even mean a million dollars!
That was enough money to spend for a long, long time!
Seeing me in a daze, Sebastian ate a few mouthfuls before he got up and walked to the desk. He handed over the documents to me and told me, "These are the details of the Roberts Group's plan. In addition, the local government of Asherton also intends to cooperate with Hendrix. It seems that we have no other advantage except for you, at present."
I was speechless. "Even if I have a relationship with Hendrix, he will not choose partners that are not up to par just because of a personal relationship. As you said, the interests of the company are highly valued in business circles."
