Therefore, Johnson and the rest waited. They wanted to see if George had any good ideas about how to solve these problems.
Johnson’s attitude aside, the big shots of the business circle alone did not believe in Ishac. Even they felt helpless when they had been in Joules Town for years.
George was so young, where did he get the confidence to fix this?
It attracted many many people to see Lennon Real Estate make a fool of itself. Even the top companies were ready to acquire Lennon Real Estate. Because Lennon Real Estate would be affected if George failed. It would also be settled the same way as Billion Trees Real Estate.
These giant companies would be ready to take over, of course.

At the same time.
Joules Town Collins Residence.
“Ridiculous. How ridiculous! I told you he can’t go any further!” Old Master Collins shook his head after hearing Hubert’s report.
“What do you mean, Old Master?” Hubert was confused.
He was only filling William in on what happened today. However, he did not express any opinion or comment.
“Billion Trees Real Estate might look valuable. It’s actually a hot mess. George isn’t bold to take over it, he’s stupid!” William took a sip of coffee with a flicker of disdain.
He was shocked when George brought down Billion Trees Real Estate. However, William was left speechless when George made the next bad move.
“I don’t know about that…” Hubert paused and whispered.
“Why not? Are you questioning my judgment? I don’t know much about the outside world, even though I’ve been staying home all the time. But I’m more experienced. Can I not see what’s good and bad?”
William was immediately upset at Hubert’s question.
“Old Master, that’s not what I meant…” Knowing William’s temper, Hubert quickly tried to explain.
“What do you mean then? Let me ask you, are those top companies fools?” William asked Hubert with a cold snort.
“Of course, they’re not…” Hubert quickly shook his head.
What fools could grow a company into a billion-dollar company?
People could call them lucky for making several million dollars. However, they must be fore-sighted and intelligent to make a billion dollars!
“Yes, they’re not fools. Would they say no if it’s good? But these smart people dare not take on Billion Trees Real Estate’s mess. And this George took it. Who gave him the courage to take it on?”
“In terms of seniority, the top companies were well-established in Joules Town. In terms of connections, these companies have been in Joules Town for decades. You can say they know people in the government and the underworld.”
“What does George have that can match them?!” William slammed his hands on the desk and began to reason with Hubert.
“But Mr. Lennon has plenty of money… He paid five billion dollars for the land a while ago,” Hubert said after hesitating for two seconds.
He did not have to go against William. It was because Hubert had always thought George was not as bad as William said he was.
“What a joke! Money matters, of course. But being wealthy alone isn’t enough if you want a foothold in this society. Do you think money can solve everything?” William curled his lips slightly.
He had also retired from the army. Therefore, he had always weighed things from a soldier’s point of view. Because he thought George would think in the same way, having been a soldier.
However, one could only say William did not know George well. He had no idea who George was.
“I won’t dispute what you say, Old Master… But let’s not deny that having enough money can solve many problems. Moreover, money is the biggest problem Billion Trees Real Estate faces, isn’t it?”
“As long as Mr. Lennon can afford it, he can make it,” Hubert tried to speak calmly to Old Master Collins.
He did not want to irritate William by being tough.
“Even if you’re right, I don’t believe George can come up with the kind of money to save Billion Trees Real Estate after spending five billion dollars. Do you think he’s a money-printing machine with endless money?”
“I’m telling you. Even if Colin left him all his assets, he wouldn’t have that much either,” Old Master Collins sounded affirmative.
“What if he can, Old Master? If he can come up with the money to settle this… Does that mean he’s foresighted?” Hubert looked at William earnestly.
This time, William frowned slowly and did not answer immediately. He thought it over in his mind.
After a moment, William shook his head again.
“Have you ever heard the saying, Use the best resources in the most important areas? Money is only a tool…”
“Many people have the tool, but the key is whether they can use it right. I don’t believe he can do it. So even if he can come up with the money, there’s no way he can solve Billion Trees’ problem so soon.” William shook his head slowly, still firm with his ideas.
If Billion Trees Real Estate’s problem were so easy to solve, Jimmy would not be arrested right now.
Hubert glanced at Old Master Collins before nodding gently and saying no more. It was too early to say anything. There was no telling whether George could turn the tide and solve Billion Trees Real Estate’s problem and make Lennon Real Estate more powerful.
“If he can do it, I, William Collins, will invite him to dinner myself!” William snorted coldly and turned away.
