1340 Beg You To Acquire

After hanging up, Weston immediately slammed his phone on the floor and hollered, d.a.m.n you, Hamiltons! Do you really think Im a fool you can bully as you please?!

Hah, double compensation? Its all empty promises! Now that the Glory Group is in danger, you refuse to give me even a single cent or any help. All youre telling me to do is go against the Stardust Corporation and hold on!

Once the Glory Group goes bankrupt, my company and I will no longer be of any use to you, right? When the time comes, Im afraid you wont even bother to look at me again, let alone compensate me! Give me benefits? Bulls.h.i.+t!

Weston wasnt a fool. After the Hamiltons kept being perfunctory with him without giving him actual help and kept asking him to continue fighting against Lucas with only a promise to compensate him afterward, he became completely disappointed with the Hamiltons.

He knew that the Hamiltons werent reliable at all. They certainly wouldnt help him!

At this moment, Weston felt deep despair.

No! I cant just watch the Glory Group that Ive built with my own hands go bust! I cant turn from a billionaire into a bankrupt loser!

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration. Right! Ill go look for Lucas Gray now!

As long as I sell the Glory Group to him, Ill be able to get at least a few billion dollars!

Weston shouted at the secretary, Someone, help me get the phone number of the chairman of the Stardust Corporation! I need to contact him immediately What? You cant find his number? Then find the number of Flynn Davis!

Meanwhile, Lucas was sitting in his office on the top floor of the Stardust Corporations headquarters and handling matters calmly.

He didnt seem to care about the Glory Groups situation at all and didnt ask about it at all.

On his desk in front of him was a stack of design drawings spread out.

Lucas, these are Professor Crawfords latest designs. Not only has she made detailed plans and designs for each area of Stardust City, but she has even drawn some designs for the interior and exterior decor of some main buildings. They are very unique. Please take a look, Flynn said with a smile.

Lucas looked through the drawings carefully and then said with a satisfied smile, As expected of the top architectural designer in the country. Just by looking at Professor Crawfords drawings, I can already imagine how incredible Stardust City will be once construction is complete! These designs are simply works of art! Flynn, since you recommended Professor Crawford to me, you deserve credit for it!

Seeing that Lucas was pleased with the designs and even praised him, Flynn was overjoyed and laughed. Lucas, this is all because youre good at discovering talents and appointing the right people to get the job done! But speaking of which, weve had to suspend construction on Stardust City due to the stopped supply of building materials. Professor Crawford thought that we really had cash flow problems and that we would stop the project, so she panicked and almost strangled me to death.

Recalling the elderly Gemma grabbing his collar anxiously and questioning him yesterday, Flynn still felt lingering fear.

Lucas laughed. Didnt you tell her that this is only temporary and well be able to resume construction soon?

I did. I was almost out of breath trying to explain, but Professor Crawford refused to believe me no matter what. She insists on seeing the materials arrive on the construction site again and for construction to actually start before she believes it, Flynn said helplessly while rubbing his sore cheeks.

Last night, he repeatedly and painstakingly a.s.sured Gemma for several hours. What he said last night was more than what he usually said in a week. It was simply terrible.

Lucas laughed again while also taking some sympathy on Flynn. In that case, you should inform Professor Crawford that the building materials will be delivered to the construction site in the afternoon. Get the construction and engineering team to get ready too.

In the afternoon? So soon? Flynn was shocked.

Weston of the Glory Group hadnt compromised yet. He hadnt agreed to sell the Glory Group to the Stardust Corporation. Could the matter really be resolved so soon?

It wasnt that he didnt believe Lucas, but it just seemed impossible no matter how he looked at it. After a few more days, when the Glory Group couldnt hold on anymore, Weston would naturally compromise. But now, it seemed that the Glory Group hadnt been forced to this point yet.

Suddenly, Flynns phone rang.

He excused himself and answered the phone. He immediately heard a familiar voice.

Mr. Davis, right? I am Weston Barlowe of the Glory Group. Please inform Mr. Gray that I am willing to accept the acquisition by the Stardust Corporation! I agree with the purchase price of seven billion dollars, and I can meet with you to sign the contract right now!

Flynn was dumbfounded.

Weston actually agreed to the acquisition so quickly?

After returning to his senses, he told Lucas everything Weston said and handed his phone to him.

Lucas turned on the speakerphone and said, Mr. Barlowe, if you had agreed yesterday, I would have acquired the Glory Group for seven billion dollars. But do you still think the Glory Group is worth this price today?

Weston was stunned. After a long time, he realized that Lucas was taking the opportunity to lower the price. He was so furious that he wanted to hang up immediately.

The Glory Group had been worth over 30 billion dollars a few days ago! Even though its stock price had plunged two days in a row, and the market value had lost 6 billion dollars, it was still worth over 20 billion dollars!

He was now willing to sell the Glory Group to Lucas for 7 billion dollars only because he didnt have any other choice. After all, he couldnt afford to repay the 10 billion dollars to the bank.

He found it really difficult to accept that Lucas wasnt even willing to pay 7 billion dollars and wanted to lower the price.

However, he really didnt dare to hang up.

He knew better than anyone else just how terrible the situation of the Glory Group was now.

If Lucas refused to buy it today, the bank might freeze all the funds in his companys account, and when the time came, he could only declare bankruptcy and liquidate the company.

The market value of a company was very different from its actual value.

At that time, the liquidated a.s.sets of the bankruptcy would just be some of the companys fixed a.s.sets and materials piled up in the warehouses, which would be put up for auction. The proceeds from the auction wouldnt amount to much, and he might not even be able to repay the ten billion dollars to the bank. He would still be in debt!

Weston quickly thought through it and could only gnash his teeth and ask. Uh, then how much money are you planning to acquire the Glory Group for?

Lucas said with a faint smile, Seven hundred million dollars.
