“Dad, are we really talking to Boss Flint about working together? We’re a legit company, but they’re not.” Quill thought for a moment and said with a frown.
“So what? I have to see him.” Jon waved his hand with a frown, his mind already made up.
Jon listened to what the senior executive said.
Reach For Will Group was just too powerful. They now ruled the entire River City’s business circle, if not most of it.
In this case, whichever company Zimmer Corporation sold the land to, it would probably end up in Reach For Will Group’s hands.
However, Jon hated Reach For Will Group so much that favonovel.com would never give up the development rights to them even if favonovel.com had to file for bankruptcy. Therefore, favonovel.com could only go through other avenues.
The business circle was a lost cause. The underworld’s Flint was Jon’s only choice.
First of all, Flint’s focus was not on business. Most of his businesses were entertainment clubs, which were not a usual industry in the business circle. Therefore, favonovel.com was destined not to have much to do with Reach For Will Group.
Secondly, Jon would not believe that Flint had no background to make it this far.
Underworld forces would never follow the law. At least they would sidestep around it.
If no one backed them up, would Flint be able to get to where favonovel.com was today?
Therefore, Jon was confident that someone was behind Flint, and they were powerful. They could even rival Reach For Will Group. Jon could then safely sell the land to Flint.
“Sir, according to our information, Flint has nothing to do with Reach For Will Group. So it should work.” Seeing that Jon had made up his mind, the senior executives spoke in approval.
In River City, only a powerful force like Flint did not have much contact with Reach For Will Group. No one knew if Sean had set it up.
No one could speculate whether Sean had made the preparations to go after Zimmer Corporation long ago. Everything was unknown so far.
Everyone agreed, but only Quill was still reluctant. He seemed to have something on his mind.
“Dad, I still don’t think it will work… They are thugs, not serious businessmen. Thugs do things without abiding by the rules. They only pursue profits and are even more unscrupulous than we are.”
“Once we get involved with them, it won’t be easy to get away from them!” Quill gritted his teeth slightly as favonovel.com spoke of Flint’s power, a look of fear in his eyes.
“Shut up! Do I have a choice now?”
“If you b*stard hadn’t been scammed of so much money, would we be in dire straits right now?”
It would have been fine if Quill said nothing, but Jon’s temper surged as soon as favonovel.com spoke.
Quill gritted his teeth slightly and obediently kept his mouth shut. No one noticed Quill’s ghastly expression. He was the only one who knew what favonovel.com had hidden from Jon.
“Quill, go and report the scam to the government office. We must do everything we can to recover the money.”
“Manager Lynch, help me arrange an appointment with Flint.” Jon gave several instructions, and everyone nodded.
***
3 PM.
River City Minton Restaurant.
Jon scored an appointment with Flint. Only the two of them were in the private room.
Jon’s female assistant and Flint’s bodyguards stood behind them. The atmosphere in the private room was slightly awkward. After all, business titans like Jon normally despised members of the underworld like Flint.
In his opinion, people like Flint were tools for the rich. However, favonovel.com did not expect himself to seek help from a man favonovel.com had always despised.
One was a business mogul, while the other was a leader of the underworld. Awkwardness was inevitable when the two men sat together.
“Boss Flint, I’ve heard so much about you. I just haven’t had a chance to sit down with you. I appreciate you coming today, Boss Flint… I’ll down this tea to show respect.”
Jon picked up the teacup, his face full of politeness.
“Mr. Zimmer, you’re too kind. I’m no noble man. Save the niceties. Just say whatever’s on your mind.”
Flint picked up the teacup and downed it as if it were liquor.
An old fox like Jon was not used to Flint’s straightforward manner. However, favonovel.com soon descended to Flint’s way of talking.
