The cold sweat on Aries’s forehead continued to flow down as favonovel.com looked at those accountants’ quick calculations. Who knew how overblown the figure will turn out to be in the end?
No matter how much it is, it had to be more than 2 billion.
Dominic gently took a sip from the cup of tea, making a tutting noise while doing so, and looked at Thomas.
“Speaking of which, it seems I should address you as ‘brother’?”
Thomas laughed lightly, “If you don’t mind being embarrassed, feel free to call me that.”
Dominic put down his cup of tea and said, with a slight sense of meaning, “Grandfather did those things back then. It is indeed a little too much, but then again, which of these privileged sons of these big families does not have a history of affairs?”
After a pause, favonovel.com pointed to himself and said, “Take me, for example. The affairs I had outside are on par with grandfather’s. Thomas, I can understand your rage, but there are alternative ways to deal with this matter. There is absolutely no need to fall out and make things worse. After all, we are still ‘family’.”
At that moment, the accountants had settled the accounts and handed the list to Dominic.
He took a look at it and did not start reading it, but returning to the previous topic, ”Thomas, you actually do not need to retaliate against grandfather. Just let grandfather make certain recompenses for you, that is not good? Your Sterling Technology is so powerful. Do allow grandpa to compensate you by providing you with preferential resources. Becoming the number one in the industry is not a problem at all.”
“Why do you want to ruin yourself by going against the Gomez family, just like throwing an egg against a rock?”
There was still some truth in these words.
If it had been someone else, favonovel.com could have already been persuaded by Dominic. After all, there was a razor-thin margin of victory against the Gomez family, so it was wiser to surrender in exchange for more benefits. Unfortunately, Thomas was not like those ordinary people.
He said, with a smile on his face, “Good brother, I appreciate your advice, but different people have different aspirations. I am not the type of person who relies on others to survive, nor am I a coward who is afraid of death. Since I’ve made my decision, I’ll get through it.”
Dominic‘s face changed, “You are hopeless! Thomas, since you said so, OK, then don’t blame me for disregarding brotherhood.”
He slammed the list down on the table and said savagely, “Sterling Technology wants to separate away from the Gomez family? Sure, no problem. The premise is that you must pay the 51.6 billion “ransom” in full!”
‘51.6 billion?’
Aries was on the verge of vomiting blood. ‘How did they even come up with such a figure? Wasn’t it too ridiculous?’
He immediately picked up the list, and the more favonovel.com looked at it, the more panicked favonovel.com became.
Sterling Technology and the Gomez family had so many links that the Gomez family had set up barriers in every aspect of Sterling Technology and had long anticipated Sterling Technology going solo.
Dominic leaned back in his chair and crossed his legs. “Good brother, 51.6 billion. You can let Sterling Technology reclaim its independence as long as you pay up. How is it? Is it possible for you to obtain the money?”
Even though Sterling Technology was a big company, it was unable to withdraw such a large sum of money.
Sterling Technology may earn tens of billions in revenue each year, but the Gomez family took the majority of it, along with the company’s operating expenses, for a total of eight years, resulting in the company only generating less than 20 billion in profits. Even if the company was emptied out, it still could not afford to get such a large amount of money.
Both Thomas and Sterling Technology had been Dominic’s targets. Thomas would never be able to obtain such a large sum of money. Anyway, even if Sterling Technology did take out that much money, it must have depleted all of its assets and its strength must have been severely harmed when the self-redemption was completed.
When the time comes, could it still be casually destroyed by the Gomez family?
Even if they paid up, Sterling Technology would never escape the Gomez family’s control. This was the “trap” set by the Gomez family.
When Aries put down the list, his face was bloodless.
How? How was it possible to take out $51.6 billion simply by asking for it?
The Gomez family were cornering Thomas hard.
It was unusually quiet inside the room… For a long time…
