Chapter 487: Chapter 487 Contract Terms_1
Although he was a top-tier young idol, Nando Brandon’s income wasn’t as astronomical as one might imagine.
His previous endorsement deals were only worth a few million, and there were even quite a few demands.
Even after becoming hugely popular, it was just ten or twenty million at most. Deals starting at three hundred million like this one!
It was like a godsend!
“I… didn’t hear wrong, did I?”
Nando Brandon could hardly believe it.
Rich and imposing!
“Correct, it is three hundred million. But there are some restrictions in the terms.”
Bran Cook watched Nando Brandon with a cold eye, feeling a sense of disdain inside.
He was just an actor, one who had been hyped up, with not an ounce of acting skill.
Putting on airs in front of me?
What capital does he have?
If the money is right, won’t he still call anyone daddy?
“Speak!”
Nando Brandon’s attitude took a one-hundred-eighty-degree turn; he even personally moved a chair for Bran Cook, then sat opposite him.
“First, this is an exclusive endorsement! Within a month’s time, you cannot accept any endorsements in Gonzalez City. Even the whole of Five-river Province is off-limits. Any problems with that?”
Bran Cook leaned back in his chair, while an assistant from Enlighten Group immediately brought over a cup of hot tea.
He was a god of wealth indeed!
“No problem!”
Nando Brandon nodded.
Although before coming here, he had already been approached by many businessmen about collaboration, none of them compared to a three hundred million deal!
Those were all minor deals worth a few million, how many would it take to amass three hundred million?
“Second, I need you to play a part in a little play for me!”
Bran Cook said with an intrigued tone.
“Speak, what role?”
Nando Brandon asked cautiously, hoping it wasn’t some distasteful joke.
He had once spent a night accompanying a patron behind the scenes.
But if the other party insisted, for three hundred million he would fight for it!
Even if he only ended up with seventy or eighty million after Enlighten Group’s cut, he still considered it worth it!
“I reckon there will be someone named Quella Radcliffe coming to you for an endorsement. You’ll agree right away, and promise to do it for a mere one million. Later, you’ll breach the contract. On the day of the endorsement event, you’ll appear as my guest, endorsing for me. Can you do that?”
Bran Cook lightly blew on the tea cup in his hands, took a sip of the tea.
The taste was nothing special, far from what he had at his own home.
“That…”
Nando Brandon was conflicted; he turned to look at Arvid Woody, unsure of what to do.
Contract breaching was taboo!
It was an act despised by everyone in the industry.
Plus, breaching a contract could lead to negative publicity that might result in a loss of fans.
That would be a major loss.
“Mr. Cook, this Quella Radcliffe you mentioned…”
Arvid Woody also maintained caution.
A three hundred million deal, a sky-high endorsement!
The money certainly wouldn’t be easy to obtain.
“Relax, a local from Gonzalez City, an almost bankrupt local enterprise owner. He’s a business rival of mine; we made a bet on who could secure your endorsement. If I win, I stand to make a lot.”
Bran Cook swirled the tea cup in hand, speaking with a smile.
Money talks.
And now, he was the one with the money!
Rich and imposing!
“This…”
Arvid Woody hesitated, then turned to look at Nando Brandon, “What do you think?”
If Nando Brandon himself agreed, he would be more than happy to make this money.
Three people had died in Gonzalez City, and just compensating them would cost a lot of money.
Upon returning, he would undoubtedly face censure from his colleagues.
But with such a big deal in hand, the general manager would have nothing to say once he returned.
For him, it was a complete opportunity.
And Nando Brandon was tempted too.
Money can make people lose their reason.
“I agree!”
He nodded.
A huge sum!
Can’t miss out!
“Since that’s the case, let’s wish ourselves an enjoyable collaboration in advance!”
Bran Cook raised his teacup, smiling as he looked at Nando Brandon and Arvid Woody.
When you’ve got money, that’s how refreshingly smooth things can be.
There was nothing more to say, a heap of money was thrown down, and the deal was done.
After giving Nando Brandon a few more instructions, Bran Cook finally left with his people.
He was determined to make Quella Radcliffe face a resounding slap on the face on the day the wager was settled!
He imagined the despair that would follow Quella Radcliffe’s hopes when she expected Nando Brandon to approach her, only to find out that everything was a sham!
Bran Cook felt a surge of exhilaration within.
“This matter feels a bit mystical!”
After Bran Cook left, Arvid Woody felt that something was slightly amiss.
The person they were supposed to hoodwink, why did that person seem so familiar?
“Who cares! As long as there’s money to be made, that’s what matters!”
Nando Brandon reverted to his previous cold demeanor. He looked at Arvid Woody, “General Whitaker, are you perhaps a little paranoid because of the deaths of those three men? I’ve long felt those three were perverts, not good for anything!”
The news of the deaths of Houston Green and his two companions had already been circulated within Enlighten Group.
Everyone knew about it.
“I just feel that the risk of breaching the contract is a bit high!”
Arvid Woody tapped his head forcefully, talking to himself, “A boss on the verge of bankruptcy, is he worth Bran Cook spending so much effort on?”
If everything Bran Cook had said was true, with their immense financial strength, they could easily crush Quella Radcliffe’s company.
What kind of irreconcilable enmity would necessitate such a cost just to embarrass Quella Radcliffe?
“I will take full responsibility for everything!”
Nando Brandon was slightly irritated; as the company’s top act, he didn’t regard anyone apart from the general manager and the financial backers behind him.
“Alright, go prepare for tonight’s concert!”
Although Arvid Woody was quite upset, he still suppressed it.
It couldn’t be helped. They still relied on Nando Brandon to make money for them!
Meanwhile, at Quella Radcliffe’s end, after returning home, she kept Julius Reed in the dark and quietly made her way to Valentine’s Hotel.
Quella Radcliffe was not content!
If she had to rely on her husband for everything, she would feel like nothing more than a vase!
Merely a useless person!
This was not the outcome Quella Radcliffe desired.
She hoped that through her own efforts, she could gain everyone’s respect and prove her capabilities.
“Can you do it?”
Anna Harris thought back to the morning’s events, still feeling shaken.
Those three louts had almost succeeded!
If Julius Reed had been delayed, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
“There’s no other way! This is their place of work, nothing should go wrong in broad daylight.”
Quella Radcliffe took a deep breath, recovering from her earlier fright, and headed towards the third floor.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
“Come in!”
Arvid Woody, who was working, called out.
“Hello, is this Enlighten Group?”
Quella Radcliffe pushed open the door, cautiously asking.
“You are…?”
Arvid Woody glanced at Quella Radcliffe, feeling she was a stranger, probably haven’t met before.
“Hello, I am the chairman of Radcliffe Group, Quella Radcliffe.”
Quella Radcliffe said with a smile, introducing herself.
“So you’re President Radcliffe!”
Arvid Woody quickly stood up while starting to admire Bran Cook in his mind.
Quella Radcliffe really did show up not long after he had left.
Following the agreement, Arvid Woody picked up the phone and called Nando Brandon, “President Radcliffe wants to discuss an endorsement with you, please come over.”
After hanging up, Arvid Woody gestured to the assistant, “Quick, serve Miss Radcliffe and her party some tea!”
