Joanna coughed twice, and the three of them reacted immediately. Lawyer Polis immediately went to the side to print the contract, and Snyder and Moore talked to Gao Jin.
Not long after, the contract has been printed.
Gao Jin took it over, read it over, and signed it directly, and then Joanna also signed.
After signing, Joanna went to the wine cabinet nearby and opened a bottle of champagne. After getting a few glasses, several people chatted while drinking.
Claude, the general manager of Aurora Biological Company, did not leave and stayed in Milan. He did not dare to return to the company without getting an accurate reply from Joanna.
While drinking coffee outside, I received a call from Joanna's assistant. Joanna wanted to see him and asked him to come to the headquarters immediately.
Claude didn't dare to delay at all and drove to the headquarters. The assistant knocked on the door and then led Claude into Joanna's office.
As soon as Claude entered the room, he felt that the atmosphere was wrong. All the company's senior officials were there.
"Claude, I'm sorry"
"The company has sold Aurora Biotech to Mr. Gao. Mr. Gao purchased Aurora for 4 million euros and the sales contract has been signed."
"I believe that Aurora will usher in a new life."
Joanna looked at Claude and said these words, Claude's eyes darkened.
Snyder came over and patted Claude on the shoulder to comfort Claude, and he could understand Claude's feelings towards this company.
However, the Aurora sale must go ahead.
Claude rubbed his face, then raised his head and stared at Joanna and said, "Joanna, does the chairman know about this?"
"I know, the list of companies for sale is only executed after the chairman's signature." Joanna said this calmly, and the meaning was very clear. The chairman knew about it.
"How should I arrange it?" Claude continued to ask.
"The company does not have a place for you at the moment"
Joanna continued, although she couldn't bear to say this, she must say that this is what she must do as the boss.
Claude clenched his hands into fists, and everyone else was shocked. Joanna also saw it, and she already held the ashtray behind her back.
Once Claude goes berserk, he must take action when it's time to take action.
"Claude, can we talk?"
Gao Jin said something aside, already seeing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and that Claude was a little out of control.
Joanna is her own woman, and she must not let Joanna be harmed.
Looking at Gao Jin, Claude slowly loosened his hands from the fist shape and nodded to Gao Jin. Snyder and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Joanna, the funds will arrive within two days. I'm leaving first. I need to talk to the person in charge of the company," Gao Jin stood up and said.
"Okay, I'll send you away."
Joanna said something and looked at Gao Jin with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.
Gao Jin shook hands with Snyder and others one by one, and then left Joanna's office with Claude. Joanna and others took them to the elevator before they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Snyder, when we sell all the companies that are losing money, I will have enough capital reserves."
“You can make plans to decorate flagship stores in various European countries.”
Joanna said something, and Snyder's eyes lit up.
"yes!"
Snyder waved his fist and said loudly.
The company's flagship stores in various countries have not undergone any renovation for eight years. The appearance gives people a very antique look and has reached the point where they need to be renovated.
There was no funding before, but now that Joanna has given a clear answer, Snyder is absolutely excited.
Gao Jin walked out of the office building with Claude and stopped, "Claude, you should be more familiar with Milan than me. Let's find a quiet place to chat."
"There is a small garden next to the Pistou drive-in restaurant in the western suburbs. It is quiet enough there," Claude looked at Gao Jin and said.
"OK, you lead the way"
Gao Jin said something and walked towards the parking lot. Claude looked at Gao Jin's back thoughtfully.
The two got into the car quickly. When Claude saw Gao Jin's car, he narrowed his eyes and drove out of the parking lot without saying anything, leading the way.
The two cars left the parking lot one after the other and drove toward the western suburbs of Milan.
Silent all the way
The two cars quickly left the city and arrived at the Pistou Auto Restaurant. Claude got out of the car and went to the restaurant to buy some large food bags and brought them over. He waved and walked aside with Gao Jin.
There is a small garden next to it, which is very quiet. There are basically no people at this time, so I found a seat and sat down.
Claude opened the bag and took out a can of beer and handed it to Gao Jin. Then he took out a can, opened it and drank a few gulps.
"What's your relationship with Joanna?"
"If I remember correctly, I saw you at Joanna's manor when I went to find her," Claude asked.
"Is our relationship important?" Gao Jin said with a smile.
"Very important!"
"You have no idea what Aurora Biotech means to the chairman, this company was founded by Grandma Joanna"
"I don't believe the chairman will agree to sell the company."
"Aurora Biotech will never be sold even if it keeps losing money!"
Claude said with an affirmative expression on his face. Gao Jin was also surprised after hearing this. He didn't expect that this company had such a background.
Aurora Company was founded by Joanna's grandmother. It has experienced four ups and downs during this period. No matter how much it loses each year, the company always receives funding from the parent company.
Claude is not an ordinary person. Claude is an orphan. When he was in junior high school, he received financial support from Grandpa Joanna. Until he graduated from college, Grandpa Joanna sponsored all his tuition and living expenses.
After Claude graduated from college, he went directly to work at Aurora Company. Claude has been working at Aurora Company for fourteen years.
In eight years, my position has changed from clerk, salesperson, regional director, deputy director, director, deputy general manager of the company, to the current general manager.
As general manager of Aurora Biotech, Claude has held this position for six years.
"I need to make a call to Joanna," Gao Jin said slowly, then took out the phone and started making calls.
Claude said nothing, neither agreed nor stopped him. He raised his hand and crushed the beer can in his hand. There were four crushed beer cans in the garbage bag beside him.
Soon, the phone call was connected, and Gao Jin told Joanna everything.
"Gao, I know what you're talking about."
"The assistant made a list of companies that needed to be sold according to my request. When I received the list, I directly crossed out Aurora Biotech."
"When I took the list to my grandfather to sign, he asked me why I wanted to cross out this company."
"I said this is grandma's legacy"
"Grandpa said sell it. When I go to heaven to meet your grandma, I will personally explain this matter to her."
Gao Jin's phone was on speakerphone, and Joanna's words were clearly heard by Claude, with a huge expression of surprise on his face.
"I know, I will make Aurora Biotech reborn"
"See you tonight"
After Gao Jin finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
It was actually the chairman's intention to sell the company. Claude could not accept this fact at the moment, so he opened a can of beer and started drinking it crazily.
"I'm leaving. You can drive to Joanna's manor tomorrow to pick me up and take me to the company." After Gao Jin finished speaking, he patted Claude on the shoulder, stood up and left.
Claude sat there alone without moving, staring blankly at Gao Jin's back.
