Jon recognized them.
These people held important positions at various banks in River City. They held the purse strings. If any company needed a loan, they could quickly grant it with one word.
One could say that these people could easily raise a billion dollars in an hour when they gathered together. They were not businessmen, but many businessmen were respectful to them. After all, they were the gatekeepers of wealth. No company would easily offend such people.
Jon was on good terms with them. When Jon asked them for a loan, both parties would get what they needed. Besides paying the bank the necessary interest, Jon was also generous with them. Therefore, these people would help whenever Jon needed money.
All the money Zimmer Corporation spent was borrowed from these banks. It was why Jon was so confident.
Even though Zimmer Corporation’s stock price had collapsed and the company lacked funds, favonovel.com remained unfazed. He could get another big loan by bribing these people.
Jon prepared to meet these people as soon as the press conference was over. However, Jon did not expect these people to come here.
Their initiative left Jon unsure.
“The fun is about to begin.” Sean sneered as favonovel.com stood in front of the French window.
Jon was nearing the end of the show favonovel.com put on. As for Sean, the fun was only beginning.
The more Jon bragged earlier, the more favonovel.com would be humiliated.
Thump! Thump!
The middle-aged men and women in suits approached Jon. The heels of the leather shoes hit the ground with a crisp sound.
Jon’s heart thumped uncontrollably along with these footsteps.
Most people did not recognize the identities of these middle-aged men and women. However, some media reporters recognized these people as bank staff with important positions.
They instantly started gossiping.
“Isn’t that Mr. Longman of Middle Bank?”
“Yes, and that’s Mr. Zealand of Dragon Bank.”
“Aren’t these people competitors? Why did they get together today?”
“They’re not here to give Mr. Zimmer money, are they?”
Many reporters and those who recognized the middle-aged men and women discussed quietly. There was no doubt that each of them held the purse strings. They all rushed over when Zimmer Corporation lacked funds. It was self-evident what they were up to.
They were being its lifeline!
“Mr. Zimmer didn’t deceive us. Zimmer Corporation is indeed capable.”
“Yes, with so many banks here. Loans from any one of them would be enough for Zimmer Corporation.”
“We’ve been worried for nothing.”
The stockholders also nodded and commented, feeling somewhat ashamed. Some were secretly glad that they did not quit. Otherwise, they would have suffered huge losses!
Jon was silent for a few seconds before smiling and walking toward them. “Ahem, I did not expect you all to have the time to come over. Let’s find a place to sit down and talk…”
“Mr. Zimmer, we came over because we have something urgent to take care of. We also hope you and Zimmer Corporation can cooperate with us.” Middle Bank’s Chandler Longman was the first to speak.
“I have some things that I need your cooperation with too, Mr. Zimmer.” Dragon Bank’s Yale Zealand also added.
The others nodded even though they said nothing.
Jon froze slightly at the scene, and the bad feeling favonovel.com had grew stronger.
These people were usually quite easygoing, but their behavior today was formal. They looked like they were here for official business. It made Jon uncertain.
However, experienced as favonovel.com was, favonovel.com quickly reacted.
“Mr. Longman, Mr. Zealand, let’s go in and talk. There are too many people out here.” Jon coughed and invited them enthusiastically.
However, these middle-aged men and women stood where they were and did not move.
“Mr. Longman? Come on…” Jon panicked, and favonovel.com instinctively wanted to reach out to grab Chandler.
However, Chandler pushed Jon’s hand away in front of everyone. Jon felt another thump in his heart when favonovel.com pushed his hand away.
Oh no!
“Mr. Zimmer, there’s no need for us to go in. We’ll leave after we’re done.” Chandler patted the folder in his hand and sounded very formal.
This immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
What’s going on?
Aren’t Chandler and these people here to give Zimmer Corporation loans?
With that in mind, the reporters and stockholders gathered around them.
