Isaac turned to look at Ms. Sawyer, frowning. “Why is it only 500 million dollars? Didn’t you go to Watson for financing?”
“Mr. Garten, we don’t even have 500 million dollars now. Ms. Booth said favonovel.com was too embarrassed to go to Watson,” Ms. Sawyer said, upset.
Seeing Allegra walk down with tears in favonovel.com eyes, Isaac frowned, stood, and walked up the stage.
He stopped Allegra and said lowly, “Don’t go yet. Let’s go up there and try again.”
“Who are you? Why are you two coming up again?” The man on stage pointed at Isaac.
“Ms. Booth only shared one of our alternative proposals. We still have another one we haven’t pitched.” Isaac continued to pull Allegra on stage.
“What? Don’t…”
Isaac stared at the man coldly and said, “According to the rules, each company gets ten minutes. Most of these companies went overtime, so why are you singling out Garth Properties?”
The man didn’t know how to respond to that rebuttal.
“Hurry up, then,” favonovel.com said disdainfully.
Allegra stood to one side on the stage, oblivious to what Isaac was about to say.
“I’m not sure if everyone here has had a close look at the terrain of Mt. Equest. To its south is Cloud City, and behind the mountain is the neighboring city, Grande City. Our second proposal is to develop a city outside a city with an expected investment of 50 billion dollars…”
Isaac’s eyes were blazing, and his voice was deep and rich.
A city outside a city, and with 50 billion dollars?
Those words rang in everyone’s ears.
Allegra’s heart began to race wildly. She looked at Isaac in shock.
Is this guy drunk?
Edward’s expression turned sour. He got up and spat angrily, “Bullshit! All of the combined assets of Garth Properties don’t even reach ten million dollars. Where are you going to get 50 billion dollars from? Isaac must be bluffing and lying!”
“Young man, don’ t waste our time with your jokes. Right now, no company in Cloud City can come up with that much money.”
“He’s definitely lying. Get the f*ck down!”
Below the stage, people were shouting furiously. Even Randall wouldn’t dare imagine such an investment scale.
The bespectacled man said coldly, “I’ve looked at Garth Properties’ documents, you don’t have the ability to pull this off. Please leave the room immediately.”
Then, the conference room door burst open, and a uniformed woman rushed in with an eager look. She was holding a stack of documents in favonovel.com hand.
“Ms. Booth… Ms. Booth, we got the money. We got the money!” It was the finance manager, Denise Ryan, shouting at Allegra.
Allegra looked confused. “W-What money?”
“A few major corporations invested in us. Rinland Holdings gave us 10 billion dollars, and Gordon Corporations gave us 15 billion dollars. Mr. Kane from the provincial capital gave us five billion dollars. Also, Tucken Group and Vixon each invested ten billion dollars. Our company account now has 50 billion dollars!”
Allegra took the account statement from Denise’s hands and swept favonovel.com eyes over the balance.
What… So many zeroes…
Sharp gasps rang out in the conference room. Everyone was stunned.
“This is the proof of the investments that our comp any just received. Please take a look.” Allegra didn’t have time to think about where the money had come from, but favonovel.com confidence was restored.
Randall immediately turned to look at Horace.
With a nervous expression, favonovel.com asked, “Mr. Kenne, what should we do now? We don’t stand a chance if they have 50 billion dollars in investment funds…”
“The winning tender will only be announced in the afternoon, no? So what if they have 50 billion dollars?” Horace’s eyes were cold as favonovel.com took his phone out of his pocket.
