“It meant that if we owe you three months’ pay, Mr. Lennon will pay five. If we owe you one month, we’ll pay you three. We’re giving you an extra two months’ pay just to make it up to you,” Zander walked slowly forward and explained to the crowd.
“What the h*ll? Really?!”
“Oh my. Extra two months’ pay? So I’ll make ten thousand dollars for nothing?”
“No way. Is this businessman here to do charity?”
Everyone was momentarily stunned. The unit owners were also confused.
Many businessmen delayed their wages, and the employees were happy if they could pay the full amount. Sean was not only paying the full amount but also paying an extra two months’ wages.
“Well… Is this a joke?” A migrant worker doubted what Zander had said.
“Of course, I’m giving you this compensation in hopes that you will continue to work here. You built the buildings. You know the projects well and are used to them… But I’ll pay you whether you’re going to continue working here or not,” Sean looked at the crowd and said again.
Clap, clap, clap!
Clap, clap!
All of a sudden, the contractors led the migrant workers behind them to clap their hands. Even many onlookers could not help applauding Sean’s generosity.
“That… That’s it?”
In a luxury car on the far side of the road, a middle-aged man said with wide eyes.
“Don’t think it’s easy. Did you see how many migrant workers are here?”
“There are at least hundreds of them. It’s millions of dollars if you pay them ten thousand dollars each. Won’t you feel bad for losing millions of dollars?” A middle-aged man nearby asked.
“Millions of dollars are nothing…” The middle-aged man who spoke first mumbled.
He also knew millions were nothing to him. It was probably the same as buying a car.
However, favonovel.com would be reluctant to spend money like this. Otherwise, why did most businessmen spend a lot of money on wine and even tens of thousands of dollars for a meal, yet they were unwilling to give their employees a raise?
Sean’s method of handling things might seem straightforward, yet few people were this assertive and foresighted.
“Do you believe me when I say we’ll start working in three days and finish in a month?” Sean slowly turned to look at the group of unit owners.
Many unit owners were speechless.
They thought Billion Trees Real Estate was delaying the workers’ wages, so no one was willing to work for them. Now that Sean could solve these problems, the building could start construction anytime!
Some clever unit owners had figured things out by now.
No wonder Sean had the nerve to gather all the unit owners. He just wanted to do these things in front of everyone and settle it once and for all!
Sean’s move seemed crazy, but favonovel.com had absolute control and great confidence.
Where did his confidence come from?
Perhaps it was the endless wealth of his.
“Mr. Lennon, when will the company pay us?” A contractor with dozens of workers asked Sean suddenly.
“Yes, yes, yes. When?”
The crowd realized they had forgotten the most important thing in their excitement. Anyone could tell favonovel.com nice things, but the point was whether favonovel.com could do it.
Sean could say whatever favonovel.com wanted. But, when would they get the money?
After all, money was tangible. No matter how nicely Sean said it, it was not as straightforward as getting money transferred to you right away.
The unit owners looked up at Sean. After all, the workers would start work only if they got their unpaid wages first.
All Sean had done since the beginning of this event were promises and guarantees. They had not seen a dime yet.
“Mr. Lennon, we’ve made some money over the years with Billion Trees Real Estate. Don’t say we’re adding to the misfortunes of people who are already unfortunate. We know Billion Trees Real Estate has been short of cash lately. So, we can give you three days. Is that okay?” A middle-aged man with a big belly wearing a safety helmet said to Sean.
“Three days?” Sean slowly turned his head to look at the middle-aged man.
‘Three days is our limit. We have no choice if you think it’s not enough, Mr. Lennon,” The middle-aged man froze slightly before replying with a frown.
“Let me repeat. I don’t care what Billion Trees Real Estate was like.”
“From the moment I took over, Billion Trees Real Estate has officially changed its name to Lennon Real Estate. Billion Trees’ era is over. It’s now Lennon Real Estate,” Sean said firmly, pointing to the building behind him.
“Mr. Lennon, what’s the point of saying so much? Can we get paid in three days?” Another contractor asked with a frown.
“Why three days? I’ll pay you right now.”
Everyone was shocked as soon as Sean spoke.
He’ll pay them right now?
Is Sean kidding them?
Clap! Clap!
Sean clapped his hands in the air.
The crowd followed Sean’s gaze into the distance.
Vroom vroom!
A truck engine roared as it came this way.
The crowd was somewhat dumbfounded. However, they hurriedly moved out of the way to avoid the vehicle.
Soon the car was in front of the building.
“Three days to prepare the money? Does Mr. Lennon have a lack of money?” Zander stepped forward and opened the truck door.
Swoosh!
All eyes looked at it.
Millions of people soon widened their eyes. It was as if they had seen a ghost.
What did they see?
Money!
Banknotes!
Cash!
Stacks of green cash notes lay quietly in the truck!
