Jessica Jones has posed:
Finally the day has come for the meeting that Danny Rand's PA he never had, Daphne Summers, has scheduled with Roxon. She naturally accompanied him wearing a tight blue pencil skirt, a peach blouse and a blue blazer. More shockingly, she actually got some blue pumps to match. She carries a professional looking bag, and accompanies Danny in a brisk pace as they head into the Roxon Conference Room in the 12th floor. "You're ready to own this thing, Mr. Rand?" She asks semi-in-character, wearing a rather pleasant smile that expert looks both polite and detached at the same time.

Danny Rand has posed:
Of course, Danny was ready and waiting for this day to come for awhile, making sure even the small parts of the plan was as perfect and sell-able as they could make it. He wore a fine three piece suit with a blue tie, to compliment 'Daphne' of course. As they walk together, Danny perhaps daring puts a hand around Jessica's waist to help sell it.

"Always, Daphne. You ready to bring Roxon into Rand Enterprises?" He smirks in that humorous way as they make their way to the Roxon Conference Room, though Danny did suspect that Roxon had connections to the Hand, since the Hand was using their harbor and other operations, he has no proof. Hopefully this meeting will provide a great deal as to what Roxon truly is.

Jessica Jones has posed:
Jessica doesn't seem to mind the hand around her waist, if she's to be his dependable PA, it wasn't out of the realm of decorum. She gives Danny a thumbs up at the question, as they had towards the Conference Room. "Gentleman," Daphne says to those gathered as they step inside, "thank you for meeting us, please welcome Mr. Rand," and she makes way for Danny to walk in, moving towards the two empty seats left for them.

Danny Rand has posed:
Danny lets Jessica walk into the office first, no doubt the gentlemen in the conference room stand up respectfully for Mr. Rand and his assistant, though some of the office members look between each other and probaby silently compliment Rand's choice. All the same, Danny puts on his charming businessman face on ad he widens his arms. "Ladies and Gents of Roxxon, Thank you for having us today. I know you are all very busy people who would like to get richer by dinner, so I'll make this to the point."

He pulls out a chair for Daphne like a gentleman before taking his own seat and setting his wrists on the table while he makes his bid.

"I would like to offer you, Roxxon, a merger with Rand Enterprises. Each of you would receive double your pay and your stocks would rise by 40 percent-" due to Rand Enterprises being a VERY successful business conglomerate. "While that would mean that essentially all your assets would become mine, think of everything you would receive as payment."

Jessica Jones has posed:
Daphne for her part sits down as Danny pulls the seat for her, offering him a thankful smile, before settling and pulling a small 13" laptop from her bag. She proceeds to type in as if taking meeting, while in actuality, she's attempting to get access to anything about the docks she could find through casual in secure network links. One would be surprise how much personnel at a company often leaves insecure.

Danny Rand has posed:
Danny seems to smile as the members of this conference room seem to be conversing among themselves in somewhat shocked whispers and mumbles, some positive, some negative. They might be at this a bit, he leans over to mumble in Jessica's ear though.

"Any luck?"

Of course, she's only just started, but Jessica is quite the investigator. If she wants in, she'll probably get in. All the same, one of the Gentlemen finally asks. "Why would a place like Rand Enterprises want to buy Roxxon?" Danny smiles then. "Why, for the harbor of course. The revenue that would be streamed into Rand Enterprises would be a significant change in what we are already pulling in from all of our other imports."

They start to mumble amongst themselves once again.

Jessica Jones has posed:
Jessica is all smiles, as she occasionally looks at different people about the conference table, looking to all eyes as if she's just actively taking minutes and little else. She offers no strategic input, and may well be a perk in the form of eye candy and little else. But likely a useful one, as in, taking sharp minutes, her fingers typing tirelessly. In the meantime, she manages to find some data pertaining to shipping logs and casually starts investigating there.

She does nod at Danny when he leans to whisper in her ear, and offers, "I think we're on the right track here, Mr. Rand," she then looks around, and offers, "as an aside, my experience with Mr. Rand is nothing short of outstanding, he's a very caring and attentive boss!" There's an incentive, as well as more reason to not pay much attention to Daphne.

Danny Rand has posed:
Danny nods softly to Jessica. "See if you can find any incomplete or shady logs." he tells her in a hush-hush tone before he smiles at all the businessmen, who try to offer a counter to Mr. Rand.

"Well, Mr. Rand, we are willing to give you twenty percent shares in our company in exchange for $500,000. That would give you business authority over our docks, since that appears to be your main interest."

Danny hums a long moment, just carefully buying time in the literal sense. "Well now, that does sound pretty fair. Slide it up to 30 percent and I'll pay you $450,000." Danny just being a shark over here.

All to give Jessica all the time in the world.

Jessica Jones has posed:
Daphne looks aside to Danny, apparently awed by her boss' skills, albeit it's actually Jessica who is stunned to see magic dragon karate master being able to negotiate with cold business savvy. She didn't expect that of Danny. Well, never judge a book by it's cover. Otherwise you'd be dumb enough to think you can manhandle Jessica Jones.

And there's a breadcrumb trail that Jessica stumbles about, and she goes about grabbing as much of the data for sharing with the Defenders as possible, giving Danny a thumb's up, "that's an awesome counter offer, Mr. Rand," clearly, the thumb's up standing both to show Danny she got the data, as well as make everyone else in the room think she's utterly clueless about business.

Danny Rand has posed:
Danny keeps his attention forward as he stares down all these bosses of bosses. Danny means business. He might be a Kung Fu mystic, but he's very business saavy..which is a little surprising. But there's a reason why he's CEO of Rand Enterprises and has -stayed- CEO. All the same, when Jessica gives him a thumbs up and her cryptic words, he smiles at her knowingly before he looks back at the businessmen.

"So, do we have a deal?"

The bosses look silent for a moment before they speak. "30 percent and $480,000."

"Deal." Danny says with a smile as he stands up to his feet and starts shaking hands, giving Jessica gesture to pack up with his other hand. "My people will get in touch with your people. Its a great day for business gentlemen."

and with that, Danny is already heading out of the room, hopefully with Jessica in tow.

Jessica Jones has posed:
"Thank you gentleman, I will share the meetings minutes via email shortly after I return to my office, thank you ever so kindly," Daphne offers with a brilliant smile, as she gathers her tiny laptop and bag, and heads out along with Danny, keeping quite close to him as they were on the way in. Score one for the Defenders! And this time no snoopy stuckups to play foil!
