In the grand lounge of the Hotel Adlon Kempinski, Michael and Bridget navigated their way through the clusters of plush seating and low humming conversations, towards where two men sat engaged in what seemed like a serious discussion. Dressed in finely tailored black suits that spoke volumes of their status, the men exuded an air of importance that was hard to ignore. They were representatives from two of the leading names in the solar power industry, SolarWorld and Solimpeks, known for their pioneering work and significant contributions to renewable energy solutions.
As Michael and Bridget approached, the men momentarily paused their conversation, turning their attention towards the newcomers.
"Good evening," Bridget began, extending her hand in greeting, "I'm Bridget von Reimann from the JAB Holding Company, and this is Michael Reyes, CEO of SolaraTech."
