“What’s this, Mr. Lidell?” Weston quickly asked Jimmy when favonovel.com noticed something wrong with his expression.
“B*stard! Do these people have a death wish?!” Jimmy grabbed a document and threw it out.
Swoosh!
A large pile of papers fell in the air.
Weston grabbed one of them and was shocked as soon as favonovel.com saw it. The words “Notice of termination” caught his eye.
“Notice of termination, notice of cancellation, unilateral termination of contract…”
Weston flipped through the documents on the floor like a maniac. Every one of them was a unilateral termination contract. The more favonovel.com looked, the wider his eyes grew, and the more horrified favonovel.com became.
He finally understood why Jimmy was so mad.
A real estate company could not take care of everything by itself. They could not operate fully without working with a lot of companies.
Building materials companies for construction and companies that provided construction crews. They needed construction materials, workers for construction, and so on.
No matter how strong Billion Trees Real Estate was, there was no way they would create a company just because it needed something. They had to cooperate with other companies on many things to ensure the smooth operation of a project.
However, the companies they worked with sent in unilateral termination contracts.
How else was Billion Trees Real Estate going to operate?
“B*stards! They begged me to work with them! How dare they do this?!” Jimmy was shaking with anger as favonovel.com slammed on the table.
“Mr. Lidell, this must be Sean’s trick…” Weston paused for a few seconds before saying quickly.
“Sean. Sean again! Sean has only been here a few days, and they’re already rushing to please him?!”
“How many construction crews and small companies a year have I supported, and they’re doing this to me now?!” Jimmy got angrier when favonovel.com heard this.
When Jimmy said this, neither the secretary nor Weston said a word.
Jimmy was right. Many small companies took projects from them. Billion Trees Real Estate developed several real estate projects a year, which kept many people alive.
However, cash was king in this society. People would only follow someone if they had something to gain. Without anything to gain, no one would take his feelings seriously. After all, favonovel.com could not make money with it.
As history taught people, rats would desert a sinking ship. Therefore, it was childish of Jimmy to say this.
These companies were willing to give up their cooperation with Billion Trees Real Estate for Sean. It was not because Sean was handsome and spoke kindly. It must be because Sean had given them something better!
“Mr. Lidell, it’s no use being angry. Let’s do something about it…” Weston was silent for a moment before advising softly.
Jimmy tried hard to suppress his anger. Then favonovel.com found a phone number and dialed it.
“Mr. Lidell.”
The phone rang several times before it was picked up.
“Give me an explanation!” Jimmy cut to the chase.
“Lennon Real Estate wants to source three times more building materials from us than Billion Trees Real Estate. They’re paying 20% higher than you…” The other person was silent for a few seconds before speaking.
“What?!” Jimmy’s eyes widened instantly when favonovel.com heard this.
He thought of many reasons, but favonovel.com never expected Sean to be so ruthless. The price of building materials was transparent and stable.
Sean raised the price by 20%!
Who could stand that?!
Who would pass up so much money for Billion Trees Real Estate?
Besides that, the piece of land Sean bought for five billion dollars would be profitable.
Billion Trees Real Estate had no projects recently. It had only two or three buildings near completion at the moment. To put it bluntly, Sean was on a roll right now.
He had a new land to be developed that required a huge amount of manpower, building materials, and various other resources. On contrary, Billion Trees Real Estate did not have much in demand these days.
The companies picked Lennon Real Estate as the better choice, of course. Since Sean’s payments was so much higher they knew which was the better choice!
Thud!
Jimmy hung up and banged his phone on the desk. He did not need to call the others anymore. The situation must be the same.
“How’s it going, Mr. Lidell?” Weston mustered the courage and asked cautiously.
“Sean kept his word!” Jimmy gritted his teeth and clenched his fist so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
Weston and the secretary glanced at each other in silence.
Sean said yesterday favonovel.com would bring down Billion Trees Real Estate in two days.
Weston and Jimmy did not believe it, and neither did the people at the dinner party. Because no one could take out a multi-billion dollar conglomerate in two days. But, Sean had now struck.
Sean’s approach was also simple and direct. He was basically attacking with money!
The world was full of people after profit. Sean had a stranglehold on Billion Trees Real Estate by offering better profits.
“It’s okay. It’s not enough to break Billion Trees… Sean is being naive! Here. Do this…” Jimmy was silent for a moment before giving Weston orders.
***
At the same time.
Riverside Villa.
The single villa had a spacious rooftop.
Standing on the rooftop, people could see the vast river from a distance. At a glance, nothing blocked the view. The sky melted into the sea in the distance, instantly enlightening people.
Sean stood on the rooftop, holding the white railings with a faint smile.
What was a quick way to bring down a multi-billion group?
The answer was money!
The key was to hit them where it hurt.
Many people knew that but did not necessarily have the money to support themselves. However, Sean had unlimited money, it was beyond imagination. He could do whatever favonovel.com wanted.
Last night, Zander, Jeffrey, and Ray struck together.
They targeted companies that had worked with Billion Trees Real Estate over the years. They put a stranglehold on Billion Trees Real Estate by spending a lot of money.
They spent money just like that. If 100 million dollars were not enough, they would spend 200 million dollars.
With Sean had lavishly spent five billion dollars the day before yesterday, and the land had potential, they agreed without any protest.
As the saying went, one should hit where it hurt. It would only work if they spent money in the right places.
