Chapter 337: Chapter 337: Lowest Price
The producer from the partner company was a middle-aged woman who looked gentle and talkative, named Josephine Warren.
It was clear that Josephine Warren knew Evelyn Clayton; after a warm handshake and greeting with her, she introduced everyone present.
Besides Evelyn Clayton and Josephine Warren, there were a total of four people in the private room: one director, one assistant director, and two deputy directors. Naturally, Josephine Warren focused on introducing the director.
"This is our director, Charlie Lawrence," Josephine Warren said with a smile, "Miss Clayton, would you like to introduce yourself first?"
All eyes were on Evelyn Clayton, not with malice, but purely out of curiosity. The atmosphere was quite pleasant.
Evelyn Clayton wore a fitting dark blue long dress, with a matte satin finish, paired with a broad-shouldered small blazer. It was very stylish without appearing frivolous.
She deliberately dressed in this outfit to make the partner feel her capability.
Evelyn Clayton slightly curved her lips, her elegant profile accentuated by the incandescent light in the room, as she politely began, "Hello everyone, I am Evelyn Clayton, the planner and organizer of the Dream Show. It’s a pleasure to meet you all."
Josephine Warren seemed very satisfied with Evelyn Clayton, full of smiles, "Speaking of that show, originally, Director Charlie and I also wanted to attend, but tickets were extremely hard to get. It was such a pity."
Evelyn Clayton smiled, "If Miss Warren and Director Charlie are interested, we will certainly invite you to the next show. Please do us the honor then."
Director Charlie nodded, and Josephine Warren also smiled in agreement, "That would be great, Miss Clayton, make sure to keep your promise."
Among the harmonious atmosphere, Evelyn Clayton remained vigilant.
How could today’s clients be as easily guided as they appear? They all wear a smile to facilitate smooth dealings.
Evelyn Clayton did not beat around the bush with them nor did she touch much of the food on the table. She went straight to discussing the collaboration details.
"Miss Warren and Director Charlie seeing my design capabilities is an honor for me. It seems, however, that you still have some concerns. Please feel free to ask any questions you have."
Evelyn Clayton’s poised demeanor garnered some appreciation from Josephine Warren, but she was here to negotiate, not to make friends.
So, Josephine Warren exchanged a glance with Director Charlie, then turned back to Evelyn Clayton with a hint of a smile in her eyes.
"Miss Clayton, you are indeed straightforward, so I won’t beat around the bush either," Josephine Warren said with a slight smile, "I just want to know, how much are you willing to compromise for this collaboration?"
With this remark, Evelyn Clayton basically understood.
The seemingly amiable person was actually very clear-headed, implying that she should compromise to secure the collaboration opportunity.
The subtext was that they had plenty of choices and did not specifically need Evelyn Clayton.
Evelyn Clayton did not hesitate, smiling slightly as she said, "I would like to ask what price you have in mind?"
Josephine Warren chuckled lightly, "Our price isn’t what’s important; if the collaborating party lacks genuine talent, wouldn’t any high price be wasted?"
Evelyn Clayton didn’t circle around and stated directly, "Regardless of your team’s budget or your other collaborators’ offers, we will offer the lowest market price."
Her words were unhesitant, seemingly ingratiating, but Evelyn Clayton’s composed demeanor made it appear otherwise.
Director Charlie and Josephine Warren exchanged a glance and asked the first question Evelyn Clayton had anticipated upon entering.
"Miss Clayton, why are you willing to offer us the lowest price?"
