“Mr. Lennon, we can see your sincerity in telling us this. So since you’re so sincere, we won’t be ungrateful… I’m willing to give you those shares!” The bespectacled middle-aged man called his assistant to take care of it as soon as favonovel.com finished speaking.
Homer and the others also nodded.
Sean did make it clear to them that favonovel.com did not force them to do anything. The choice was up to them.
Anyway, favonovel.com ran a business, but favonovel.com had cut them some slack. They were in a tough spot, so having Sean invest was the best solution.
“Thank you for trusting me. I won’t forget that. I’ll invest money worth 60% of your company shares. But I will only take 55% of the shares. You can keep the rest.”
The crowd froze instantly as soon as Sean said that. None of them expected Sean to be so generous!
They had agreed to let Sean take 60%. Even if Sean did take 60%, it would be a matter of mutual agreement. Sean purposely left 5% for them. It left everyone touched.
“Mr. Lennon, I’m keeping you as a friend!”
“Mr. Lennon, I’ll follow you forever if you don’t mind.”
Everyone spoke their minds.
Sean smiled and nodded gently, feeling amused.
Once favonovel.com had absolute ownership of these companies, favonovel.com would be their chairman and immediate boss. If they did not listen to Sean, who were they going to listen to?
“By the way, Mr. Lennon, if you invest in us at the same time…”
“Your money… Ahem. Mr. Lennon, it’s not that we doubt your finances. It’s that…”
Everyone was silent for a few seconds before cautiously mentioning the subject. They said they were not doubtful, but they were actually the opposite. Even if Larson Pharmaceuticals wanted to help, helping two companies out was
already the best they could do.
With half a dozen company owners in the room, could Sean afford that much money?
“We can sign the contract now if there’s no problem. I will also transfer the funds as soon as possible,” Sean said, and Zander immediately took out his phone to make the arrangements.
Seeing Sean so decisive, the crowd froze for a moment before rubbing their palms excitedly.
“But to be clear, the terms I offered you are only limited to you. I can help other companies if they want it, but I want 60% of their shares.” Sean tapped on the table to warn the people in front of him.
“Yes, Mr. Lennon, don’t worry about that.”
The crowd was momentarily stunned before quickly nodding.
Both of them had been in the business circle for a long time, and they understood the way the world worked.
“Mr. Lennon, do you mean we can ask other companies to cooperate with you in this way?” The bespectacled middle-aged man understood what Sean meant.
The others recomposed themselves. Homer was also shocked, remembering what Old Master Larson had said.
Old Master Larson suspected that Sean wanted to control most of River City’s business circle at the time. It looked like Sean was slowly revealing his ambitions.
“I don’t lack money… But I’m not doing charity. They can trade it for shares if they want.” Sean looked at the crowd and spoke.
The crowd took notice and nodded earnestly.
Zander watched in awe. Chloe was wondering what would be the best way to negotiate with the company owners without rousing their anger.
Sean had now solved that problem. It was impressive.
The companies’ staff soon joined them with documents.
Chloe brought along a few Lennon Group staff to handle the paperwork.
Instead of wasting time, Sean asked Chloe to quickly figure out how much money favonovel.com needed to invest to own 60% shares of each company. Then favonovel.com asked for their company account information to transfer the funds on the spot.
Beep! Beep!
With one after another successful transfer prompt tone, the crowd froze again. Watching Sean spend money without hesitation, everyone was impressed.
He was wealthy!
No one questioned Sean’s ability to afford that kind of money again.
