The statement showing 50 billion dollars in investments shocked the room. During the lunch break, Horace, Randall, Edward, and the other important people on stage left the room.
Allegra pulled Isaac aside, favonovel.com face full of confusion. She said emotionally, “Isaac, did Beefy Bob get us all these investments? These are all global corporations.”
Clearly, Allegra was unbelievably shocked by this. However, favonovel.com also had favonovel.com doubts.
Is Beefy Bob this powerful?
His background must be extraordinary!
“Let’s not talk about this now. Now that we have the money, things will be easier. Let’s grab a bite. It’s Friday, we have to go pick up Isabella later,” Isaac changed the topic instantly.

At 2.30 pm, everyone returned to the venue. It was almost time for the results to be announced.
Allegra was still very anxious. Some could tell that Horace, Randall, and Edward had a special connection with the executives on stage.
The bald man in the middle of the stage stood up. After deliberating, they finally reached a conclusion.
“Well, after examining the documents this morning and a discussion between the directors, it seems that Garth Properties’ scale of investment and pitch were the best. Hence, we’d like to congratulate Garth…”
At that moment, Horace stood up and declared coldly, “We must get Pegasus No. 1. We’re upping our investment amount!”
The door opened, and a tall, thin middle-aged man walked in with two subordinates trailing after him.
Horace laughed and said, “For this, we have invited the president of the Southland Municipal Investment Group, Mr. Mill, to work together with us.”
“Herman Mill?”
“He’s a really influential big shot.”
“The King of Aurum County is indeed impressive. With just one phone call, favonovel.com managed to invite Mr. Mill here. The Southland Municipal Investment Group doesn’t work on small projects!”
“Although Garth Properties managed to pull some investments, they’re going up against Herman Mill. There’s no hope for them!”
Everyone began to titter.
In Southland, this investment group was very influential. They were the prime construction group in Southland-in other words, they were practically royalty.
After Herman shook hands with Horace, favonovel.com looked behind favonovel.com at Allegra.
Then, favonovel.com looked up at the people on stage and said, “Everyone, I will be joining Gould Properties in a partnership to develop Pegasus No. 1… I, Herman Mill, promise to make this the biggest project Southland has ever seen. Also, my company will invest an additional 60 billion dollars, and we will build a city outside a city, too!”
With the extra 60 billion dollars, the total came up to 70 billion dollars!
The conference room broke into utter chaos. The bidding war that was supposed to involve a large pool of companies had now narrowed down to a battle between Gould Properties and Garth Properties.
Edward immediately burst into laughter. He stood up and said, “We now have 70 billion dollars in investment. Combined with the resources we have at hand, we can totally pull off building a city outside a city. Unlike some other company that was formed only a few days ago and has neither connections nor resources, they can’t even procure an excavator. just having the money is not enough.”
At that moment, a wave of intense emotions filled Edward’s chest. All favonovel.com felt, besides the worship for Horace, was excitement.
With 70 billion dollars in investments, even if the Gould family only got a fraction of it, it would be enough to give the next few generations a comfortable life.
The Gould Family was finally going to prosper thanks to him!
When it came to executive hierarchy, Herman’s level was even higher than the most influential person on stage. Not to mention, favonovel.com had worked on projects worth hundreds of billions of dollars before. It would be absurd for this tender to go to the small, newly-established Garth Properties.
“It’s over… It’s really over this time. Even money can’t help us!” Ms. Sawyer dropped the documents in favonovel.com hand, favonovel.com face stony.
Anyone who dabbled in property in Cloud City would know Herman.
Allegra clenched favonovel.com jaw tightly, favonovel.com body shaking uncontrollably. She had clearly heard them mentioning favonovel.com company’s name earlier.
A hand covered favonovel.com shoulder slowly.
“Don’t be impatient,” a low voice said.
The people on stage began to exchange opinions. There was no time for them to return to their smaller conference room backstage for another round of deliberation.
A few minutes later, the bald man in the middle slammed the table and said gravely, “Everyone, quiet down. After a long discussion, the Pegasus No. 1 tender is going to…”
At that moment, another figure appeared at the doorway, and in walked Louis Marsh.
