“How can I trust you? Will the millions of River City citizens believe me? There is no way I will hand over such an important place to a problematic company.” Mr. Schmidt shook his head slightly.
There was no way favonovel.com was going to ruin his career over this. Zimmer Corporation was not worth defending.
“Give me some time. I can fix this… I will!”
“Given how much Zimmer Corporation contributed to River City’s economy and taxes, give me some time, Mr. Schmidt!” Jon pleaded to Mr. Schmidt as favonovel.com gritted his teeth slightly.
Mr. Schmidt fell silent at this. He nodded his head gently after a while.
“I’ll give you one day at most. If you can’t solve the problem in one day, we will retract Zimmer Corporation’s rights to develop the land.” Mr. Schmidt hung up the phone after saying this.
“Whew!” Jon let out a long sigh, but his mind was not at all relaxed.
He thought Zimmer Corporation had a chance even if the situation was tough. After all, they owned the biggest and best land in River City, so they had some confidence. However, Jon panicked after receiving Mr. Schmidt’s phone call.
His confidence came from the land. Mr. Schmidt was about to seize it.
What did Zimmer Corporation have left if they lost it as well?
After much consideration, the only decision Jon could make was to sell the land. Or use the land to get Zimmer Corporation some money to tide them over.
With that in mind, Jon immediately summoned Quill and several of the company’s core shareholders.
After listening to Jon’s words, the crowd nodded in agreement after thinking it over. Although they were reluctant, it was the only solution for now.
“Sir, many companies would be fighting over the land if we tried to sell it. So we don’t have to worry about that.”
“The question is whether you have any ideas about who we are selling it to?” A middle-aged shareholder asked, looking at Jon.
“Absolutely not to Reach For Will Group! Reach For Will Group brought Zimmer Corporation into this situation.”
“Anyway, there’s no way I’m giving in to them after the trouble they brought us!” Jon gritted his teeth slightly.
Everyone had a temper. How could favonovel.com endure it when Reach For Will Group bullied them so much?
It was more impossible if Reach For Will Group wanted the land. Again, favonovel.com would never give the land to Reach For Will Group even if it rotted in his hands.
Jon’s hatred for Reach For Will Group could not be described in words.
“Dad, why do we bother? Just let Mr. Schmidt take the land so we can get back more than two hundred million dollars.”
Quill whispered after giving it some thought.
“Shut up! Do you think we can get our money back quickly by giving away the land?! They could drag us out for any amount of time and wear us out! We’ll lose both land and money. We can only wait for our destruction!” Jon snorted coldly.
He was no fool and knew these things very well. More importantly, the land would become Reach For Will Group’s once River City’s higher-ups retract it.
It would go against Jon’s idea.
“Sell it to someone else or get some money by mortgaging it to solve the immediate crisis. We still have a chance as long as they don’t retract it.” Jon pondered for a moment before finally making a decision.
“But Mr. Zimmer, have you ever wondered… With Reach For Will Group’s influence in River City today, many companies are associated with them. There are few forces that can compete with them. So it might still end up with Reach For Will Group even if we sell to another company!”
The other nodded as soon as the middle-aged shareholder said this. Even Jon knew the middle-aged man was telling the truth.
Reach For Will Group was such a giant that few dared to challenge them. Besides, many companies had ties with them. Reach For Will Group might take it no matter who Jon sold the land to.
Jon frowned and pondered for a moment, but favonovel.com could not think of the best person to sell the land to.
No one in River City’s business circle had the financial resources to take over the land and the courage to fight against Reach For Will Group!
Suddenly, a young man said with a frown. “Sir, I don’t think we should necessarily look at individual companies. I’ve heard that River City underworld is recently taken over by someone named Flint Howard, who had a lot of money and connections!”
“Yes, yes, yes! I’ve heard of Boss Flint. He’s really capable!”
“Many of my friends want to meet him.”
Quill jumped to his feet. As a good-for-nothing heir, favonovel.com occasionally had something to contribute in such matters.
“A member of the underworld? It’s inappropriate.” Jon had heard of Flint, but that idea never occurred to him.
“Sir, do you think Flint can get to where favonovel.com is now without someone behind him?”
“Even they were not as good as Reach For Will Group’s, nobody dares to touch him.” The young man added again, and this time Jon did not reject it immediately.
Moments later, Jon nodded slightly.
“Arrange an appointment with Flint. I want to talk to him.” Jon got up slowly, hope reemerging in his eyes.
