Starting as a War God: Global Goddesses Blocking my Door

"I'm sorry, I cannot accept this!" Xu Ruoxuan firmly rejected.

She keenly understood that the market for electronic products was already saturated, and with numerous competitors, the so-called potential value Jack spoke of could well be disregarded.

Xu Ruoxuan was a woman who combined beauty with talent, and even though the Chris Family was a super world-class financial powerhouse, she wouldn't engage in a losing deal.

Just as Xu Ruoxuan finished speaking, Xu Haoran immediately said, "Sis, are you really not going to think it over? I believe Mr. Jack's mentioned potential value is worth a fortune!"

"Mr. Xu is a wise man, Miss Xu, perhaps you should reconsider!" Jack said with a smile.

Xu Ruoxuan frowned and said in a heavy tone, "Mr. Jack, it's true that cooperating with you would bring a lot of potential value, and I won't deny that, but to have the Xu Family enter into a loss-making deal is just impossible! So let me tell you the truth, my bottom line is a twenty-eighty profit share, you take eighty percent of the profits, and we keep twenty percent to break even!"

"That's my bottom line, it can't be any less! Understand that by taking only twenty percent profit, I'm essentially working for you for free. If the potential value isn't great, it would be nothing but a futile effort for the Xu Family!"

"A twenty-eighty split? No, no, no! The Young Master's intention is a one ninety split, and we will cooperate with whoever accepts that!" Jack said with a grin.

Before coming to Central Plains, the Chris Family's delegation had already discussed this; they would partner with anyone who agreed to a one ninety profit share, believing that there was huge potential value in working with the Chris Family.

This trip to Central Plains had the Young Master Justin of the Chris Family coming in person. In Justin's eyes, a place like Central Plains was nothing but a backwater. By deigning to come here, they were bestowing a favor on the locals, and the fact that these people dared to bargain was akin to not knowing what's good for them.

Xu Ruoxuan's expression turned gloomy as she said, "A twenty-eighty split, a one ninety I cannot accept!"

She had predicted that the Chris Family, in pursuit of expanding profits, would be ruthless, but she never expected them to be so insanely obsessed with maximizing profits.

"Are you sure you won't reconsider, Miss Xu? I believe many noble clans and powerful families in Central Plains would like to partner with us!" Jack said with a mocking face.

Xu Ruoxuan responded with a playful expression, "Then let them! The Xu Family is no longer considering it! Haoran, let's go!"

As a highly intelligent woman, Xu Ruoxuan was very decisive. If she could negotiate, she would, and if negotiations failed, then she wouldn't force the issue. To make her take a loss was out of the question.

"Sis, wait a moment!" Xu Haoran suddenly said.

Xu Ruoxuan asked in surprise, "Haoran, what's the matter? Is there something else?"

"Sis, you forgot about the ring Ye Fan gave you, didn't you?" Xu Haoran reminded her.

Although Xu Haoran wasn't convinced that the ring Ye Fan gave could be of any use, seeing the Chris Family put on such grand airs had irked him a great deal.

"Right, Haoran, you're correct, I almost forgot!"

Xu Ruoxuan slapped her forehead and immediately took out the dark ring Ye Fan had given her from her pocket.

After taking out the dark ring, Xu Ruoxuan handed it to Jack and said, "Mr. Jack, surely you must recognize this ring, don't you?"

As the dark ring was presented, Xu Ruoxuan's stunning face filled with anticipation, her woman's intuition distinctly telling her that this ring must possess some magical power.

"What is this?"

Seeing Xu Ruoxuan's mysterious demeanor, Jack took a close look at the dark ring he had picked up.

"Such a heavy ring for its size?" Jack was somewhat surprised.

Holding it in his hand, Jack could feel that the dark ring weighed at least three to four pounds.

Staring at the surprised Jack, Xu Ruoxuan said, "Well, Mr. Jack, does this ring look familiar to you?"

"I'm sorry, Miss Xu, although it looks magical, I do not recognize it!" Jack handed the dark ring back to Xu Ruoxuan.

"What? Don't recognize it?"

Hearing Jack's response, Xu Ruoxuan was somewhat astonished.

She had never imagined that the ring Ye Fan had given would have no effect whatsoever in front of Jack.

Xu Haoran's eyes widened as he said, "Mr. Jack, are you sure you do not recognize this ring?"

"Mr. Xu, forgive my poor eyesight, but I genuinely can't see anything special about this ring, other than its heaviness!" Jack said with a smile.

"Damn! Ye Fan, that damn fool!"

Confirming that Jack did not recognize the dark ring, Xu Haoran angrily grabbed the ring and furiously threw it into the trash can inside the negotiation room.

He angrily exclaimed, "Sister, Ye Fan is nothing but a big fraud, what a crap ring, it's utterly useless! It's just trash, we've been deceived by him!"

"How can this be?" Xu Ruoxuan's face showed complete befuddlement.

She knew Ye Fan was a man of considerable standing; even Commander Lin Wu of the Central Plains War Zone had to show him utmost respect.

How could someone as enigmatic as Ye Fan easily fool her?

Xu Haoran continued irritably, "Sis, I told you yesterday, it's just a broken ring, even a dog wouldn't take it! You're taking that Ye Fan too seriously. In my opinion, Ye Fan is just a minor character; he has no real skills, we've been played by him!"

"Played?" Xu Ruoxuan felt utterly disappointed.

Xu Ruoxuan had thought the ring Ye Fan gave her would showcase its prowess, but instead, the Chris Family's representative didn't recognize it at all.

Squeak!

Just then, the room's door was pushed open, and a blonde, blue-eyed young man walked in.

The young man was handsome, with a hawk-like nose and pale blue eyes, wearing a Patek Philippe watch worth millions, and his clothes were handcrafted by world-class artisans. He had an air of arrogance about him, like an imperious elf out of a fairy tale, drawing all eyes to him.

"Young Master, you have arrived!" Seeing the young man, Jack immediately stood up.

The youth was indeed Young Master Justin of the world-class Chris Family. Through the negotiations that had just taken place, he had already come to understand the attitudes of the various Noble Clans and Powerful Families from the Central Plains. Stay updated via My Virtual Library Empire

Justin asked in his unfamiliar Chinese, "Jack, how are the negotiations going?"

"I apologize, Young Master, Miss Xu does not agree to a nineteen percent share!" Jack reported truthfully.

"Oh? Miss Xu doesn't agree to a nineteen percent?"

Upon hearing this, Justin looked at Xu Ruoxuan with some surprise, "Before coming here, I had heard of Miss Xu's beauty and intelligence. I didn't expect Miss Xu to be so foolish. Don't you know what benefits cooperating with the Chris Family could bring you?"

"Foolish? So only the Chris Family is intelligent? I think you're clever to the extreme, treating everyone else like fools! Just because you're from a world-class conglomerate, you expect others to engage in a losing business, that's just too much!" Xu Ruoxuan retorted, clearly displeased by Jack's haughty demeanor.

"Too much? Miss Xu does not seem as clever as you appear, but rather pitifully stupid! Jack, let's go!"

Justin carried himself with an air of superiority, his expression arrogant. Seeing Xu Ruoxuan not giving him face, Justin looked at her with increased contempt.

"It's over! Completely over!"

Seeing Justin ready to leave, Xu Haoran's face filled with bitterness; he knew it was impossible for the Xu Family to cooperate with the Chris Family now.

"Huh? What... what is this..."

Just as Xu Haoran thought the cooperation was hopeless, Justin's gaze suddenly fell on the dark ring in the trash can.

In an instant, Justin seemed to think of something, his muscular body trembling wildly as if electrocuted.
