That was indeed a valid question. Thomas had told Zach that it was free and favonovel.com did not need to pay at all.
But, did Thomas not just pay $30,000,000 today?
Naturally, favonovel.com already earned a lot with the rock-bottom price of $30,000,000. So, Zach did not mean to antagonize Thomas. He just wanted to tease him. Meanwhile, Thomas leisurely picked up his teacup and calmly said, “Mr. Quinn, although we spent $30,000,000 this time, I didn’t go through the company’s account and use the money from the company. This means that I didn’t use your money. Therefore, it’s still free for you.”
“Oh?” Zach curiously asked, “Did you just fork out your own money and pay $30,000,000 to buy me a ‘gift’? I’ll be embarrassed if that’s really the case.”
Thomas shook his head. “I’m not that generous either.”
Zach was confused. “So, where did you get $30,000,000 from?”
Thomas reminded, “Do you still remember Benjamin and his gang?”
His words woke Zach up. Of course, favonovel.com remembered them. The main purpose of holding a meeting among the management last time was to fire all of them. In that meeting, Thomas had given Zach a surprise, which had been to get the executives including Benjamin to compensate the company and leave.
Could it be… Zach fearfully looked at Thomas.
Thomas nodded. “It seems that you’ve realized it, Mr. Quinn. Yes, we received the money Benjamin and the gang paid. It came to a total of $30,220,000, and it was sufficient to make up for the $30,000,000 for this purchase.”
Zach was totally convinced. He showed a big thumbs-up and totally admired Thomas’ scheme.
From the beginning when Thomas had asked Benjamin and the gang for money, favonovel.com had planned for this scenario. He had wanted to buy Oswin’s stock with Benjamin’s money. He used an enemy’s gun to shoot another enemy’s shield.
He got rid of his enemy with the other’s weapon. It was amazing! It was truly incredible.
Zach admired Thomas, though favonovel.com felt frightened. Thomas’ intelligence was almost monstrous. Luckily, Thomas was on his side, or else Thomas would scheme against him.
At this time, Zach sincerely thanked his old mother. It was only because the Madame had insisted that favonovel.com successfully make Thomas join him, giving Stellar Jewelers a strong pillar of support. It could even be said that Stellar Jewelers could survive without Zach, but they could not survive without Thomas.
This man was too powerful.
Zach added, “With the stock from Oswin and the other two suppliers, we can provide a huge supply to Stellar Jewelers. After we lost a large bunch of executives, we need a motivating matter to pull the company together. This incident is incredibly suitable!”
He paused for a while before favonovel.com continued, “I have to learn from Weiss how to organize a live stream cutting. The scale must be bigger than Weiss’. I want to let everyone see the ability of Stellar Jewelers. The only thing that worries me is avoiding Weiss’ mistake. We have to make sure that the quality of this batch of stock can be live-streamed.”
Thomas gave a firm answer. “Don’t worry. Although not the entire stock contains top-grade gemstones, based on my estimation, about one-fifth are top-grade gemstones. They will definitely provide a good show in the live stream cutting.”
Zach agreed.
Actually, if all of the stones were top-grade gemstones, the show would not be interesting because of a lack of suspense. Only a situation where both normal and top-grade stones were present would make a good show. The audience also had a mentality to bet with their luck.
“I’ll go and arrange it now.”
When Zach wanted to leave, Thomas stopped him. “Hold on.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Mr. Quinn, I think it’s better for us to share happiness with more people.”
“Huh?”
Thomas flashed a mysterious smile. He must have come up with a naughty idea again.
***
In the afternoon, in the guest room of Stellar Jewelers…
The people in charge of dozens of jewelry companies had arrived. All of them were famous and reputable people. They all came only after they received a notification from Thomas. But, they had no idea what this was about.
“Why do you think Thomas has asked us to come over?”
“I don’tknow. I guess it’s to collaborate in boycotting Oswin?”
“How is it possible? Haven’t you heard about it? Thomas bought all the stock from the three biggest suppliers for $30,000,000!”
“What the heck! Thirty million dollars? Doesn’t this mean favonovel.com got the stock for free?”
“So, I guess that favonovel.com has gathered us here to inform us to reconcile with Oswin and go back to the previous arrangement.”
“Yeah, what you said makes some sense.”
Before the meeting officially started, everyone roughly guessed what Thomas wanted to say.
When everyone arrived, the big screen was slowly drawn up.
Thomas held a microphone and walked up the stage in a professional suit. He then said in a deep voice, “Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon.”
After favonovel.com gave his greetings, favonovel.com brought up the main topic. Thomas glanced at everyone and said, “I guess you’re all aware that I’ve bought all the remaining stock from the three suppliers for $30,000,000.”
Although all of them knew about it, they still could not help but exclaim after Thomas personally admitted it.
He was terrifying.
