Besides, who could guarantee that they would earn money when it came to operating a business?
If they failed to operate Billion Trees Real Estate well after taking over the company. They would really end up losing a large sum of money. And, the companies under them right now might be affected as well. Therefore, they did not dare to invest in such risky projects.
They might really lose everything after taking over the company.
“Your higher-ups provided all of you with support and helped you establish the benchmark enterprises of the real estate industry in Joules Town…”
“But now you can’t even bear the responsibility for such a small problem?” The middle-aged man next to Johnson frowned as he looked at the five men and women.
‘This… Mr. Dane. This isn’t a small problem. This isn’t a decision that we can make on our own. We must discuss this with the company shareholders before coming to a decision…” A woman dressed in a lavish outfit said softly.
Johnson slowly raised his head and met the woman’s gaze. Anderson then swept his gaze across the faces of everyone else.
Similarly, the others avoided Johnson’s gaze as well.
Anderson was not a fool. How could he not tell that this was a polite rejection?
Besides, it seemed like everyone else had the same intention.
“Do you think that I can’t do anything to all of you since your companies are well-established now?” Johnson slowly reverted his gaze and arranged the teacup in front of him as he spoke to them in an even tone.
The tone of his voice was extremely calm. And, it contained a deep sense of threat. However, Johnson could not care about so many things at the moment.
Regardless of whether he threatened or forced them to do anything, he had to give his supervisor and all the parties involved in this incident an explanation. If he did not force them to do something right now, he would soon be placed in an extremely difficult position.
Zane remained silent all along. It seemed like he was waiting for something. Although he had made a promise to Stefan, he could not speak so easily in front of Johnson Dane.
Most importantly, Zane understood what kind of a person Johnson was. Therefore, he was waiting for the most suitable opportunity to speak up.
“Mr. Dane, actually, I really would like to take over the company… However, to tell you the truth, our company just started a couple of projects. We don’t have enough capital!”
“That’s right, Mr. Dane. You know that our company doesn’t have much capital despite being well-established.”
“If there’s a problem with our working capital, we might lose our own companies as well!”
They all started speaking up to express their thoughts.
They were all afraid that their capital chain would break after taking over Billion Trees Real Estate. By then, they would really make a huge loss!
None of them dared to take over such a problematic company. This was similar to how there were times when one knew that a project would be profitable. However, he could only let it go if he did not have sufficient start-up capital.
They could not confirm if taking over Billion Trees Real Estate would be profitable to them. After all, the problems with Double Billion Real Estate were way too serious. They could correct all the other problems, but the reputation of Double Billion Real Estate had long gone down the gutters.
How should they restore the company’s reputation?
Johnson’s expression darkened. Anderson felt extremely displeased when he saw how everyone was pushing the responsibility around.
It looked like these people would rather offend Johnson than take over the company!
“I don’t want to hear any meaningless words. I’d like to hear an answer right now. Will you take over the company or not?” Johnson looked at everyone with a dark gaze in his eyes.
Everyone exchanged gazes and lowered their heads.
It was key for them to operate Billion Trees Real Estate well to achieve a bright and successful future. However, if they failed to operate the company well, they might end up just like Jimmy Lidell.
At the moment, it was impossible for the assets of Billion Trees Real Estate to be liquidated within a short time period. At the very least, they needed a nine-figure initial start-up capital.
Where would this sum of money come from?
In conclusion, they wanted to take over the company but did not dare to do so. Since they did not have sufficient funds, they did not have the courage to do so.
