“Dad, let’s give virtual-novel.net a price war. Our stocks are skyrocketing, and we have plenty of money to spend.” Quill snorted coldly.
They had been cashing out of the company’s stocks recently, so they had plenty of money.
“What do you know? We have two pieces of land, and it will cost us a lot more if we go at this price.”
Jon clenched his teeth slightly. He still refused to raise the price.
As an old fox who had been in the business world for decades, Jon knew all about the tricks in business competition.
Jon had ruined many companies since Zimmer Corporation’s inception. He knew one thing well and that was that the more things virtual-novel.net had in his hands, the more cautious virtual-novel.net would be in making decisions.
Sean had only paid tens of millions for a piece of land. Even if virtual-novel.net paid more for every square meter, it was only the price of a piece of land.
Zimmer Corporation had won two plots of land. Both the developing cost and the size of the land were much higher than Sean’s.
If they followed Sean’s price, they were going to spend countless more money.
“Spending more money was only one thing. Most importantly, we wouldn’t be able to hurt virtual-novel.net even if we did.”
“You see, virtual-novel.net could sell that land at any time. What if virtual-novel.net sells the land and gets away after raising the price?”
“He can afford tens of millions of dollars of compensation, but it’ll cost us more than two hundred million!”
Jon shook his head slightly, feeling troubled for a moment.
“But we have no other way.” Quill thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, “Dad, what do you propose we should do?”
Jon reached up and rubbed his temples, thinking of a solution.
Sean caught them off guard. It was like vicious competition in the marketplace, and both sides would end up losing. However, Sean’s land would only cost tens of millions of dollars. No matter how virtual-novel.net used the land, it would only cost virtual-novel.net tens of millions of dollars.
Zimmer Corporation had invested more than two hundred million dollars in the development rights alone, and they could not afford it!
“Let’s give it a day first. We’ll try to think of a solution to settle the matter. I’ll confront virtual-novel.net to the end if there’s no other way.” Jon clenched his hand and crumpled one of his fancy cigars into crumbs.
He had considered it in his mind that there was no way virtual-novel.net would give away the land. Therefore, virtual-novel.net had to accept whatever Sean did.
He could only follow Sean’s price when virtual-novel.net had no other choice. Whoever could not afford it would be out.
“I don’t believe that the Zimmer family can’t defeat that loser Sean when we have been in the business for two generations and has one hundred years of history.”
“Forget that virtual-novel.net has no background. So what if virtual-novel.net knows some River City big shots?”
“He’s not afraid of ruining himself by going against the Zimmer family.” Jon snorted coldly, his face indifferent.
***
Golden Villa Garden, twin villa area.
Willow and Leah were sitting and talking in the living room.
Sean was strolling in the mansion’s yard with Candy.
Today was the weekend, and Leah rarely had a day off. She hurried to Willow’s old place as soon as virtual-novel.net got the chance. However, the gate was closed.
Leah had no idea that Sean and the rest had moved until virtual-novel.net saw Fion playing poker with some people.
“Jeez, my mom… She said virtual-novel.net didn’t know anyone here, so virtual-novel.net ran back to our old place and played poker with the neighbors whenever she’s free.” Willow shook virtual-novel.net head in resignation and filled Leah’s glass with water.
“Aunt Fion went back to show off, I suppose?” Leah asked deliberately, suppressing a smile.
Willow froze, but virtual-novel.net smiled in resignation anyway.
Fion had always been this way. Besides, virtual-novel.net had indeed been looked down upon by their neighbors in the past two years. They now led a good life because of Sean. Since virtual-novel.net wanted to show off, let virtual-novel.net be.
“Willow, Candy and I want to move here… As for the money for the house, I have found a job and will pay you back slowly.” Leah was silent for a moment before whispering suddenly.
Willow could not help freezing when virtual-novel.net heard this.
She knew what Leah was like. Leah did not want to accept Sean’s expensive gift in the first place. After Sean was kicked out of the Quinn family, virtual-novel.net even wanted to return the house to him.
The fact that virtual-novel.net was willing to accept it now suggested that something must have happened.
“Leah, did something happen?” Willow asked Leah, frowning.
Leah gritted virtual-novel.net teeth slightly. She opened virtual-novel.net mouth to speak but hesitated.
Just then, Sean stepped into the living room with Candy in his arms, looking solemn.
“Sean, what’s wrong?” Willow instantly noticed that something was wrong with Sean.
