YM778.TV Chapter 91 - 90 Do You Understand What It Means to Be Low-key_l
Titan Group was also holding a board meeting!
It wasn’t even eight in the morning yet, but the shareholders and company executives were all seated in the conference room.
“Chairman! If you keep going your own way, you’ll destroy everyone’s hard work!”
“It hasn’t been easy for Titan Group to get to where we are today! We’ve managed to secure the position of the Boss in Gonzalez City and even vie for dominance in Five-river Province within a few years! But now, everything is ruined!”
“The company’s books show less than two billion in liquid funds left, and our external projects are on the verge of defaulting, while many internal projects can only be halted!”
The executives expressed their dissatisfaction angrily.
Yesterday, when Ovidiu Cook was about to make his move, these people were holding him back. But Titan Group was Ovidiu Cook’s company, and he had the power to decide everything!
Facing the opposition of the executives, the richest man in Gonzalez City was defiant, nearly draining the entire company!
After burning through eighty billion in one day, the executives could no longer sit still and decided to force a palace coup!
In Titan Group, although they held no shares, each person’s salary was top-tier within the industry!
If Titan Group collapsed, their interests would inevitably be damaged!
“Chairman! Golden Eagle Group is completely infuriated, they have started crazily retaliating against us since the morning! And it’s not just them; many of the big companies in Five-river Province have joined the battlefield.” An anxious manager, holding documents, shouted.
Since yesterday, these people had put down their work to focus on this smokeless war.
But the more they watched, the more anxious they became!
Normally calm and steady, Ovidiu Cook was now throwing money around like a man possessed, managing to repel Golden Eagle Group’s offensive just yesterday.
But no one was happy about it.
Because the only outcome of angering Stanislaus Potter was to bear the Potter Family’s storm-like retaliation!
After yesterday’s battle, Titan Group was at the end of its strength, and today it wouldn’t have the power to fight again!
“Is this what you all think?”
Ovidiu Cook leaned back in his executive chair, surveying the surrounding staff.
On his face, there was not the slightest ripple.
“Yes! Titan Group cannot collapse! Even if we are greatly wounded, as long as the green hills are there, we need not fear running out of firewood!”
One of the directors spoke up.
“According to your opinions, what should the group do?”
Ovidiu Cook asked calmly. Even though Titan Group was already in crisis, and Stanislaus Potter had already started the war, he was still indifferent. With the Ridge Family backing him, how big a wave could Stanislaus Potter’s money make?
Up until now, he still hadn’t recovered from the extravagance of the Ridge Family.
The mansion, resplendent with gold and silver, floors inlaid with pearls and jade, every sight was the epitome of luxury!
Only now did he understand how powerful Julius Reed was!
Truman Ridge’s one utterance of “Mr. Reed” had left Ovidiu Cook stunned in place, taking forever to come back to his senses.
“Everyone, I suggest we apologize to Golden Eagle Group, showing our sincerity! At the same time, let’s immediately withdraw funds from Radcliffe Group and assist Stanislaus Potter in his revenge!”
The manager spoke up.
Although such an idea was somewhat humiliating, it could save their lives!
Stanislaus Potter was after face; continuing the fight would benefit no one.
Once Titan Group showed weakness and gave enough face to the Potter Family, Stanislaus Potter would naturally stop his attacks.
“Do you all feel the same way?
After hearing the manager’s words, Ovidiu Cook surveyed those around him.
“I agree!”
“I also agree!”
“Though it’s humiliating, it can ultimately save our future!”
Everyone raised their hands one after another, voting on the decision.
“Very well! Minister Davenport, invest more immediately! Whatever Stanislaus Potter puts in, we’ll match it!”
Ovidiu Cook nodded, then suddenly instructed the finance minister, Lazarus Reed.
“Chairman?”
Upon his saying this, Lazarus Reed was struck dumb in place. The other executives also doubted if they had misheard.
Titan Group didn’t have much money left, so what additional investment? “Just do it! Anyone who doesn’t want to, better quit early!”
Ovidiu Cook slapped the document on the table and turned, striding away from the conference room.
“What should we do?”
After he left, the executives looked at each other in dismay.
In their memories, Ovidiu Cook had never made decisions on his own.
But why, when facing such a big decision, did the chairman insist on pushing through?
“Oh my God!”
Just then, Lazarus Reed exclaimed in surprise.
‘What happened! Is it Stanislaus Potter pressing the attack?” The hearts of the executives were all in their throats. “I must be seeing things! Xiao Gao, come over and help me have a look!” Lazarus Reed rubbed her eyes, her face full of shock!
“Ten million, hundred million, thousand million, billion, ten billion, hundred billion… a hundred billion!”
The woman named Xiao Gao gasped in shock, her face also filled with amazement!
“How is there still a hundred billion in the company’s account!”
With his shout, the executives quickly crowded around.
“Holy crap! It really is a hundred billion! Wasn’t there only eighteen billion left last night?”
“Could the system be in error, Minister Davenport, refresh it again!”
“How is this possible!”
Everyone was talking at once, their faces all spelled disbelief.
“Let me check!”
Lazarus Reed took a deep breath to steady herself, took out her phone, and made a call to the bank.
After the mechanical voice of the digits came through the phone, her hand shook and the phone “clattered” to the ground.
“It’s real…”
She turned her neck woodenly, her body beginning to tremble slightly.
The Titan Group’s liquid funds only had a hundred billion, and they had nearly burnt through it yesterday. The additional funds in the account today were more than enough to excite them!
“Then what are we waiting for! Just do it! The chairman has spoken, let’s beat that son of a bitch Golden Eagle Group!”
“Bullying with power! I’ve had enough of the Potter Family People! What’s so special about Five-river Province! Coming to Gonzalez City, dragons need to coil and tigers need to lie down!”
“Let’s go all in!”
The meeting room, which had been filled with an air of dejection just moments ago, was now extremely excited!
Meanwhile, at the Ridge Family estate in Five-river Province.
An old man was slowly practicing Tai Chi in the courtyard.
His attire was plain, wearing only a loose robe.
But upon a closer look, one would notice that the floor beneath his feet shimmered with gold, inlaid with jade!
And all the surrounding utensils were made of gold and silver! Even the ground was embedded with countless Luminous Pearls! “Master, the money has been transferred. ”
A servant approached the old man from behind and whispered.
“Hmm. You need to pay more attention to this matter, make sure nothing goes wrong! ”
The old man nodded and continued practicing Tai Chi.
After a moment of hesitation, the servant asked, “Master, why not transfer more at once? This little bit of money is nothing, not even enough for the young master’s weekly allowance!”
The servant turned his head, wondering what the Clan Leader was thinking.
A hundred billion, and he had personally made the trip?
“Talon, how many times have I told you! We should be low-key! Understand what low-key means? Look at me, I always dress simply! Even if I walked out on the street, beggars wouldn’t ask me for money!”
The old man chastised with an air of disappointment.
“Master, that Luminous Pearl on your ring is bigger than a pig’s eye! The necklace around your neck, I can see its brightness from hundreds of meters away, is that also called being low-key?”
Talon pouted, clearly unhappy.
“This… ah! Forget it! Just make sure to keep an eye on it! If something goes wrong with this, we really will have to beg on the streets!”
Truman Ridge looked up, his eyes flashing with memories of that young man.
“The snowy night’s returning man, ah!” He muttered to himself..
