Chapter 382 His Terms
Chloe took a deep breath. "A thirty percent discount on economy and business class tickets, plus priority upgrade services. For cargo, both international and domestic, the rates should be ten percent lower than market prices."
Ethan sat beside Michael, his face full of disbelief upon hearing these conditions.
Leaving aside the significant revenue loss from a thirty percent discount on tickets, just the ten percent below market rates for cargo was already extremely unreasonable.
If he agreed, Paramount Airlines would essentially be non-profitable on this project.
"Is it really necessary for Paramount Airlines to partner with Bright Moon International, earning just a reputation without profit?" he thought.
"Mrs. Shawn, isn't this a bit too demanding..."
Ethan couldn't hold back and spoke up.
But before he could finish, Michael said, "Agreed."
Both Chloe and Ethan were stunned.
"Mr. Shawn!"
"Bright Moon International has significant influence both domestically and internationally. Even if this partnership isn't profitable, the new passengers and collaborations we attract will bring substantial benefits to Paramount Airlines. Your company's requests are acceptable."
Chloe knew his personality too well.
For him to concede this much, he must have conditions.
"What does Mr. Shawn want?"
"I want you to move back to the master bedroom."
Chloe was taken aback.
She thought, "Why does he always ask for this?
Doesn't he have anything else he could demand?"
Ethan was also dumbfounded.
He thought, "Even though Mrs. Shawn is sitting across from him, she is representing Bright Moon International right now.
Mr. Shawn finally has the upper hand, and he asks for Mrs. Shawn to move back to the master bedroom?"
"Even if I move back to the master bedroom, it won't resolve our issues."
The cargo rates alone were ten percent below market.
She had more than fulfilled James' challenge.
James, seemingly unsurprised, opened the file and glanced at it. After seeing Michael's signature, he chuckled, "Ms. Nelson, you're indeed impressive. Perhaps you should take over as the CEO of Bright Moon International."
"Don't even think about it. I have no interest in running your company."
Chloe hurriedly declined.
If anyone else said it, it might be a threat or a mockery.
But coming from James, it was different.
Chloe suspected that if she agreed, he'd pack up his things overnight and vacate the CEO's office for her, then casually return to the Mythica military.
James closed the file and turned serious.
"The issue with Monica has been resolved. She will publicly apologize to you, and a full apology statement will be posted online. Since she deliberately harmed you, she'll serve time in prison as per the law.
"How did you end up having a conflict with Monica?"
