"I have observed that an old man seeing us was annoyed. Later I understood that he was the owner of the resort. For the first time someone ignored our ma'am. What is the problem?
"That old man JI Hoon, owner of this resort, was in huge debt. His inefficient son could not handle the business, lent a lot of money from banks and disappeared. Ji Hoon had promised bankers that he would clear all the debt and asked for some time. He was looking for a partner who can invest in his business so that he can repay to banks"
"Then what is the problem? Alex questioned.
"Ashley wanted to take over his business and want to close the deal but Ji Hoon wants a partner who is willing to invest in his resort" Every time we hope either one of them compromises and the deal gets closed but at the last minute the old man loses his temper and leaves the meeting in the middle of the presentation. As you know our boss' temperament, she too leaves the place" Kate explained everything.
Alex now understood everything.
"Shall we go now as I have to prepare some notes" Kate asked
"You go ahead. I will join you at lunch, let us hope finally our deal gets close today" Alex commented.
"Hope so, if some magic happens. See you then at lunch" Kate replied and went away.
Alex thought to go around the resort and he walked all the way, meanwhile he talked to the employees around. While going round his attention was focused on Ji Hoon. He had looked at the surroundings and thought Kate was right, the air here was very peaceful, it touched our hearts, everywhere greenery and people working here were very happy.
Ji Hoon was scolding a gardener that he did not pour water properly and he explained to him how to do it. He had interacted with all the employees right from the gardener to the general manager and understood the nature of Ji Hoon.
Then he went to his room and read all the information on Ji Hoon. After reading everything and talking to his employees Alex understood what was the problem and why Ji Hoon is not signing the deal.
He had prepared some notes and went in search of Ashley.
Ashley was sitting in the lawn working on the deal. She thought that I came with complete preparation and this time will go with a deal signed"
Alex approached Ashley "Ma'am I came to know that you have tried to crack this deal many times and walked away from the meeting as it has not worked"
"Focus more on your work rather than gossip" she warned him.
"I am talking about work, you have visited this place more than three times. It means we're interested in this deal. Am I right?" he questioned her.
"That is true as I want to expand my business" she answered rudely.
"If you want to expand your business and are really interested then you have to compromise," he advised her.
"How can I compromise? I have never compromised in my life" she replied
"If you compromise you get a deal and your name will be tagged with this place and you get a significance or else you lose this deal" he advised.
"I can't compromise, don't give me advice aftercall you are an employee and I am a CEO. Why do I have to listen to you?" she uttered.
