Chapter 1069: A Mysterious Visitor
Patrick didn’t know what he said to this person, but the two of them entered the room together, and Jane found it strange.
Even if some friends came here to celebrate for the children, there was no need to have a private conversation in a separate room.
If they needed a quieter place, they could just find an empty spot nearby.
“Who is this person? Not only did they bring so much money, but they also entered the room with Patrick. I tried to think carefully, and it seems familiar, but I can’t recognize them.”
Harrison was still confused at this point, but today, regardless of who came, Jane’s approach was correct – they must welcome the person with a smile.
Even if it was a stranger, receiving a congratulatory message would make Jane happy.
So she let Patrick go and talk to the person. Patrick had been quite relaxed at home these past few days, playing with the children and accompanying Jane when he had nothing to do.
He felt that this was the greatest enjoyment in life – having a family and children to be with, making him feel more relaxed compared to before.
This was especially the case, considering the big business deal that came up at the company. It required an investment in overseas business, with high risks and returns, which made Patrick hesitate.
Therefore, the person in charge at the company didn’t dare to make a decision without him.
When Patrick heard that he needed to go, he hesitated for the whole afternoon.
When Jane came back in the evening, he told her about it. It was indeed a good opportunity for the company.
If they could control it, the company would undoubtedly make further progress. However, if there was a mistake, the impact on the company would be huge.
“I am considering whether we should accept this investment. If we do, I might need to stay abroad for a while and plan accordingly,” Patrick said to Jane.
Upon hearing Patrick’s words, Jane understood his attitude. If he wasn’t uncertain, he wouldn’t speak like this. If he was confident, he would say how to control the risks in the investment.
“If the benefit is significant, as you mentioned, then the risk is undoubtedly high. This is why other companies haven’t collaborated immediately,” Jane said, not trying to persuade Patrick to make a decision immediately. It was his decision, and Jane was there as an advisor, who would express her views after hearing his decision.
The most crucial thing was for Patrick to think carefully about this.
Following her inner thoughts, Jane didn’t want to rush into any decisions. They just needed to observe and collect information. If an opportunity arose during this observation, they should act swiftly.
This phase was also a data collection process. If they could detect success from the information, they could reconsider their decision.
“Yes, the risk is too significant. Even if the projected benefits on the investment plan look good, these are just surface-level data,” Patrick said with a deep sigh.
“The gap between surface-level data and actual operations is significant. People who run companies know that the surface level data could show a 200% return, but in reality, there could be a loss of 50% that might never be recovered.”
Patrick sighed because this was the main reason for his current hesitation. The fact that Jane pointed it out made him more hesitant. He didn’t know what he should choose.
Seeing Patrick’s dilemma, Jane expressed her thoughts. “The company’s development and seizing every opportunity are crucial, so since we have the chance in our hands, we should observe and investigate properly before making a decision,” Jane stated.
“We don’t need to make a decision immediately, but our representatives must investigate the matter as soon as possible.”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Patrick understood the importance of truly reliable data, so he quickly called his subordinates, asking them to conduct an on-site investigation.
He also contacted the company’s foreign representatives, asking for their cooperation with a series of investigations, to make an informed decision later.
“Now that you’ve made a wise decision, we should thoroughly investigate. Even if the chance seems good to us, if there’s no increase in success rate, there’s no need to risk it,” Jane said after Patrick’s decision. He agreed with her.
Back at the company, Patrick continued to research the investment through websites and other channels, as it was a hot topic recently.
Moreover, it was a type of investment that his company excelled in, making it very attractive to him. He always hoped for such a project to transform into real benefits.
However, due to the lack of good projects recently, this foreign project excited him.
Patrick called his assistant. “Take a look at this investment plan and the data I’ve gathered.”
He pushed the computer towards his assistant, telling them that he would be focusing solely on researching this issue. They only needed to thoroughly investigate the project’s risks and legitimacy.
Patrick wanted to make sure that the data collected by his people would put his mind at ease.
So, he called the subordinates to ask them to investigate thoroughly and then revisited the investment plan online and through other channels.
He felt that it was crucial to thoroughly investigate. While there was a fleeting opportunity now, it wasn’t necessary to rush the decision.
After the investigation is complete, they would make a final decision based on the results.
“I think you’ve made a wise decision. You should thoroughly investigate. Even if you see hope, it’s important to grasp it. But if there’s no probability of increased success, there’s no need to take such a big risk,” Jane said when she heard about Patrick’s decision. He agreed with her.
After they returned to the company, Patrick immersed himself in his research on this investment. It was a recent, popular investment project that his company specialized in, which made it highly appealing to him.
He hoped that this project could translate into real benefits. Nonetheless, with no good projects coming up lately, the presence of this foreign project excited him.
Patrick summoned his assistant and asked them to take a look at the investment plan and the data he had gathered. He explained that the assistant should solely focus on researching this issue, without concerning themselves with other matters.
Even at this important moment, Jane was always by Patrick’s side, offering guidance. They both understood the significance of this decision, and the possible impact it could have on the company.
Patrick wanted to make sure that they had thoroughly investigated the project’s risks and legitimacy. He was serious and focused, deeply involved in the critical phase of research and investigation.
