Chapter 305: Sixty Billion Down the Drain!
David Herb’s words ca as a bolt from the blue to Alan Austin at this very mont.
After hearing this, both Alan Austin and Grandy Anderson were frozen in their tracks, unable to hide the disbelief on their faces.
A nature reserve, off-limits for comrcial use, wouldn’t this an the 60 billion they had invested in the Northern Suburb was all for naught?
Alan Austin was almost scared out of his wits, 60 billion, that was 60 billion, not 600 dollars!
This blow cut his arteries, the blood loss was imnse!
But now, he had to pretend like everything was fine and not let David Herb know about the secret maneuvers he had been making behind his back.
“Hehe…hehehe…”
Alan Austin could only force a smile, but deep inside, he felt like crying. It was like he had hit his own foot with a stone.
“Alan, do not be so quick to believe these rumors next ti, okay? This ti it’s 1 billion, next ti it could be hundreds of billions,” David Herb said with a pretense of offering fatherly advice.
Alan Austin, listening to this, felt like he was being cut open and the blood was rushing out. But he could only grin and bear it, nodding in agreent.
“Alright, if there’s nothing else, let’s leave it here for today. Work hard on the Nezzi New City project, I’m looking forward to Imperial Group’s performance,” David Herb continued.
Alan Austin could only nod with a forced smile and didn’t say anything else. At this mont, he was completely preoccupied with how to cover the 60 billion deficit.
Shortly after, Alan Austin, looking like a soulless man, left the Royal Group with Grandy Anderson, feeling utterly helpless.
Just after leaving the Royal Group’s building, his phone was bombarded by calls from Noah Weiden and ssiah Anderson, it was almost enough to explode his phone.
Answering the phone, Alan Austin felt deflated, like a balloon losing all its air. He told Noah Weiden and ssiah Anderson to co over to his house to discuss strategies.
Soon after, Alan Austin arrived ho, where Noah Weiden and ssiah Anderson, who had seen the news, were already waiting outside.
“Fuck! Alan Austin, what the hell is going on? How did the Nezzi New City project end up in the Southern Suburb? Didn’t you swear it was in the Northern Suburb?!”
“Bullshit Northern Suburb, I just saw the news, they’re planning to make the Northern Suburb a nature reserve. The whole area is now off-limits for comrcial activities.”
“Alan Austin, fucking say sothing, is this true?! I’ve put 20 billion into this!”
Noah Weiden and ssiah Anderson took turns berating him, clearly there to confront him.
After hearing their words, Alan Austin’s face seed even uglier. He replied impatiently, “Why are you two yelling? I fucking put 20 billion in there too!
I’m the one at a loss as well, how was I supposed to know the Northern Suburb would suddenly be turned into a nature reserve? Do you think I’m having a good ti?
I’m a victim too, what are you two yelling at for?”
As soon as ssiah Anderson heard this, he imdiately shot back, “Alan Austin, what do you an by this? If not for your promise that there wouldn’t be any issues, do you think I would have invested my money?
Now that there’s a problem, you want to cut ties with ? You really think my money was swept in by the wind?
You better give an explanation today, or else we’re not done!”
Alan Austin, who was already feeling exasperated, gritted his teeth and retorted, “Explanation? What’s there to explain? We lost, that’s it, what’s there to explain?
A few dozen billion, so what? Do you really think you won’t make it back after we get the Nezzi New City Project?
Plus, it’s not like we lost all 20 billion, when the governnt starts requisitioning land, we’ll get that money back. What are you in such a hurry for?”
Facing Alan Austin’s retort, ssiah Anderson did not have much to say. Alan was right, but when the governnt gets involved, the compensations will likely be low. He would be losing at least half.
Plus, no one knew when the governnt would start requisitioning the land, it was not as simple as he made it out to be.
However, for the sake of the Nezzi New City Project, ssiah Anderson chose to tolerate it.
Alan Austin was right, as long as they could secure the Nezzi New City Project, 20 billion was nothing to them.
Thinking about this, ssiah Anderson’s mood slightly improved again.
Suddenly, ssiah Anderson warned, “Alan Austin, you better not trick again. If we don’t get the Nezzi New City Project, the Anderson Family will go bankrupt. If this happens, I will not let you off the hook even in death.
Sherry Jones, that little bitch, not only has the funding but also the land. You better be careful, any hiccup and no one can bear the consequences.”
Upon hearing this, Alan Austin rolled his eyes at ssiah Anderson and said with certainty, “Rest assured. Today, David Herb reassured again. Oh, and you need to keep the land buying a secret.
As for Sherry Jones, that little bitch, having money and land, so what? The Nezzi New City Project was predetermined for our Imperial Group! What is there to be afraid of!”
“Better safe than sorry…” ssiah Anderson couldn’t help but remind.
When Alan Austin heard this, his face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. He said irritably, “Doesn’t your Zhang Group have connections with Leonardo Kim? Don’t you know how to win him over?”
Leonardo Kim is the biggest contractor in Sayon. All the construction teams in Sayon listen to him. If he makes the call, even if Sherry Jones is rich, she won’t be able to find a construction team.
Without a construction team, what would she use to take over such a big project as Nezzi New City?”
Leonardo Kim?
Upon hearing this na, ssiah Anderson couldn’t help but twitch. Soon after, he said with lingering fear: “Leonardo Kim, that demon, you know very well that he is a madman.”
Although I can talk to him, with his madman-like personality, I’m afraid…”
ssiah Anderson had dealt with Leonardo Kim before. He was an unpredictable madman. It was said that he was a forr gang mber, working under Myles with Nan Xiaodu and Longman Jack.
When Leonardo Kim was working under Myles, he had a dispute with another one of Myles’ subordinates. As a result, Leonardo Kim didn’t reason with him and killed his entire family that sa night.
He was irrational, unpredictable, and no gentleman. And he most definitely wasn’t easy to get along with.
Alan Austin, who heard this, interrupted impatiently: “If you can’t win him over, just throw money at him. I don’t believe he wouldn’t be tempted by the project of Nezzi New City.”
As long as we get Leonardo Kim on our side, what resources does Sherry Jones have to fight us?”
Stop fucking wasting your breath, go find out what Leonardo Kim thinks first!”
ssiah Anderson’s face turned bitter at Alan’s words. Always the one to do the dirty work, while Alan just sat there giving orders.
However, to ensure the Nezzi New City project was absolutely secured, ssiah Anderson reluctantly agreed to the task.
anwhile, besides Alan Austin’s group, the Jones Family also suffered a loss on the North Suburb piece of land.
“What!? You asshole! Mori, you borrowed a million in the casino to gamble on the North Suburb land? Why didn’t you discuss such a big matter with beforehand? You…” Old Madam Jones looked at Mori Jones in anger, wishing she could strangle him on the spot.
Mori Jones knelt on the ground crying, wailing: “Mom, I… I didn’t know Alan Austin’s information was wrong. Wasn’t I just trying to increase inco for our Jones Family?”
“I had no idea things would turn out like this. Now the land in the North Suburb is completely ruined. The casino is not only demanding to pay them back but also asking for compensation for their loss.”
“They want to co up with two million. Mom, you have to save . Please, save , I’m your own son…”
When Mori Jones borrowed this money, he also leaked the information to the casino on the side. The casino followed his lead to buy so land in the North Suburb.
As a result, they all suffered massive losses.
Now, the casino was not only demanding Mori Jones to pay back the money, they were also asking Mori Jones to compensate them for their loss.
Mori Jones tried to ask Alan Austin for help, but Alan simply ignored him, and directly kicked him out.
Having no other options, Mori Jones had no choice but to confess to Old Madam Jones.
“Idiot, you are an IDIOT!!” Old Madam Jones said in devastation. Two million, where would she get that kind of money? Even if they sold the Jones family, they couldn’t afford that much.
At this mont, Old Madam Jones was so angry, she couldn’t help but contemplate about killing Mori Jones.
Just then, a group of scar-faced tough guys kicked in the front door of the Jones Family house and barged in.
The leader of the group, a massive figure, imdiately grabbed Mori Jones and growled: “Fuck, Mori Jones, you gave a hell of a ti finding you!”
“You dare to fuck with Bing? Have you grown a bear’s heart and a leopard’s gall?”
“Pay back the money, if I don’t see the two million today, I’ll throw your entire family into the River Arch to feed the fish!”
Bing, it’s actually Bing, Leonardo Kim’s brother!
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Jones family shuddered. A look of dread appeared on their faces.
At that mont, Mori Jones was panicking. He pleaded incoherently: “Brother Bing, Brother Bing, spare , spare . I really don’t have … No, no, no, we have money.”
“Our Jones Group, our Jones Group has money. Sherry Jones, Sherry Jones has billions, she has money, she belongs to our Jones family.”
“Brother Bing, she’s rich. Sherry Jones is really rich…”
