Chapter 236

When Tanya was on the phone, she was sitting with Vivian, Miranda, and others in a luxurious private room, waiting for the waiter to serve the dishes.

After seeing Tanya finish her call, her face didn’t look too good. Vivian asked, “What’s wrong? What did Tim say?”

Tanya tightly gripped her phone and said, Tim wants to terminate the contract with us and demands we compensate his company for reputational damages.”

What?!

Not just Vivian, but Miranda and Catherine were all surprised.

Catherine angrily said, “We’ve already apologized for this matter. Didn’t that little bitch Ashley say to contact that guy named Tim and sincerely express our apologies, and then this matter would be over? How did it turn into terminating the contract with us and demanding compensation for reputational damages now?!”

Vivian’s face turned cold, and she reacted quite quickly, saying,”She’s doing it on purpose.”

Catherine didn’t understand:”What?”

Tanya said, “Ashley just wants our two companies to terminate the contract, to delay the launch of our company’s self-driving car.”

There are countless companies making self-driving cars now, both domestically and internationally. If their pace is slowed down, one improper operation could significantly reduce the competitiveness of their company’s products in the future.

If they really terminate the contract with Eternal, then they will definitely need to find a new partner.

The probability that the new partner they find will have technology as good as Eternal’s is not high.

What’s more, finding a new partner costs money.

This is no small sum.

Terminating the contract costs money, finding new partners also costs money, and if their self-driving cars’ competitiveness in the market also decline in the future, when all this is factored in, their losses would be simply immeasurable!

Catherine was completely stunned, she never expected things to be this serious.

Not just her, Tanya and the others present also hadn’t anticipated it.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have naively thought that a phone call to Tim, an apology, or even some compensation would resolve the matter.

Catherine slammed her hand on the table and stood up, shouting, “We can’t terminate the contract! Absolutely not!”

Everyone knew they couldn’t terminate the contract.

But whether to terminate the contract or not was no longer up to them now.

Miranda spoke with a somber face:”Find a chance to talk to Tim again. We can readjust the contract terms. We can compensate him with a sum of money. We’re all business people, there’s no reason he’d turn down money. What’s more, terminating the contract with our company would also mean a loss of money for him. As long as we can offer terms, there’s no reason he wouldn’t agree.”

Tanya didn’t respond.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to talk to Tim.

It was that she wasn’t confident Tim would be moved after she offered terms.

Tim would also incur losses by terminating the contract with them, but he was willing to bear those losses to mess with Ashley, which showed he really cared about Ashley.

Vivian also thought of this.

But she thought about it carefully and said: “This matter can be considered big, but it’s not without room to be handled as a small one, so even if Eternal sues us to terminate the contract, they might not necessarily win.”

Catherine’s eyes lit up: “That’s right, if they can’t win, aren’t they just forced to meekly continue cooperating with us!”

Tanya wasn’t as optimistic as her.
