It turned out that besides being Kimbra’s man, Amir was also a spy that Sahar planted.The incidents were a farce that he directed to sabotage Kimbra’s plan to rescue himself.He was so arrogant and domineering to Rowan because he did not plan to sell the stocks at all.The so-called trading demand was actually a bait to pre-emptively cut off all external forces that might provide financial support to Kimbra. The internal financial pressure the Kurt family faced was also just a trap set by Sahar and the others.The Kurt family was indeed shot on liquidity due to the overall economic situation and changes in the external environment. However, it was far from the critical state they showed Kimbra.Of course, only Amir and a few other people working for Sahar knew the truth.Most people had been kept in the dark, including the general managers of some processing companies.Like Kimbra, they genuinely thought the family did not have enough cash flow.As everyone knew, Sahar and t

Faced with Rowan’s probing, Asa just smiled and said, “Everyone will run into some problems at some point, and when that happens, it is always nice to have a place to talk.“There are too many eyes on our factories. Moreover, we need working capital, so we released news about selling stocks. Yet, many people don’t want us to get the money.“Mr. Jefferson, I don’t want something to happen to you in our factory before we even have the chance to talk.“So, instead of meeting up in a crowded factory, it was better to choose a place no one knows so we can all be at ease.”After hearing this, Rowan’s eyes lit up.He knew the hidden meaning in Asa’s words.Asa knew someone was preventing the factory from solving its financial problems by selling stocks. At the same time, these people were lurking inside the factory, and they were pretty powerful.Even if Asa had absolute control over the factory, there was no guarantee that accidents would not happen.With this in mind, he now underst

“I actually don’t have any blood from the Kurt family,” Asa admitted, solving the mystery.“My mother married into the family after I was born and later gained Baltimore’s trust. That’s how I got to manage Murire.“When Baltimore was around, he would give Murire a lot of support, but we still had to bear part of the operating expenses ourselves. In a sense, Murire is more like a company I contracted from the Kurt family.“As for following Gruel, Abdul and I look like we’re operating according to our plans on the surface, but in reality, we still have to obey Baltimore’s command.“Even though the family has been opposing it, Baltimore has been doing his best to secretly support our operation.“All this changed after Baltimore was overthrown...”Rowan was a little confused when he heard this.“You mean Kimbra cut off your supply after he came to power? Why didn’t he just remove you from your position and cut off the processing plant’s funds? He was the one who suffered the loss at

Rowan did not say anything after he heard that.Asa said nothing more, but Rowan could guess what he meant.Normally, it would be fine if Kimbra did not get the financial power for the time being because the law was on his side. Moreover, with Rothschild as his backer, those opposing elders would only be stubborn.However, things were different now.Kimbra was running out of time as the Elvis family was threatening him.With trouble coming from both sides, he could only rely on his family’s processing plant to help him deal with the Elvis family’s provocations until he could find a new foreign processing plant.This meant that he not only had to get his own processing plants back up and running at full capacity, but he also had to get them to rapidly increase production capacity within a short period.Therefore, he would need money for all of those.Not money that stayed on the books, but real liquidity.Since the books were with the elders, it was very challenging for him.A

Asa’s mood inexplicably improved after he discovered the ‘truth’.He was inspired after he discovered a kindred spirit, and it was even one who could be very successful in the future.This would mean that he might also be successful in the future.However, Asa never suspected that Rowan might be unable to finance the acquisition.After all, he only put out the news of the acquisition to a very small circle, and the people who could enter that small circle were all heavily vetted.If someone from that circle negotiated a deal but refused to fulfill it, they would be scorned by the entire circle and even kicked out.After that, they would not have any opportunities or information exclusive to the circle.For this small group of people, it was not worth jeopardizing their credibility in the circle for the sake of a whim.Therefore, Asa felt that Rowan would not joke about this matter.Since he discovered that Rowan was a member of the same circle, Asa’s attitude improved. So, he

Asa nodded after hearing Rowan’s question.“If it’s just that, I can still hold on. Like I said, Kimbra is not trying to get me to side with him. Coincidentally, he has started to gain control of a part of the family’s finances.“Even though it’s not enough to allow the factory to resume operation, it’s enough for me to get through this tough time.“Of course, the premise is that I have no one exerting pressure on me.”“Is there someone else?” Rowan’s interest piqued. Then, a thought entered his head, and he blurted out, “You mean Elder Sahar?”Asa’s expression turned unpleasant when he heard that.“It seems that you know quite a lot about the Kurt family. You even know such secretive things.”Rowan looked down and pretended not to hear anything, keeping a neutral expression on his face.He knew he had blurted out a secret.Elder Sahar’s foreign connections were so secret that even Kimbra was kept in the dark.Kimbra might still think that Sahar was against him because he was

Asa continued, “I never expected it to be Elder Sahar.“Who would have thought that the kind Elder Sahar, who is highly respected in the family, would do something so vile? How can he work with an outside force to cut off his family’s financial flow?“The clan praises Elder Sahar’s wisdom, but he used all his wisdom against his own family!”Asa was overwhelmed with anger, causing him to curse even more.After Asa calmed down, Rowan hesitatingly asked, “So why didn’t you say yes?”Rowan was nervous because he believed that although Elder Sahar’s methods were vile, there was no way that Asa would refuse the conditions he offered.Given the current internal and external problems, Asa could not get out of this situation under normal circumstances.His only reinforcement right now, Kimbra, was all tied up, not to mention the huge amount of funds needed to fill the hole.So, selling stocks to the public was a last resort and was not even a guaranteed success.Although it is widely k

“I’ve decided I won’t let Sahar get the factory so easily, even if my creditors forced me behind bars!“I don’t like Kimbra, but at least he wouldn’t do something so vile. So, I’d rather leave the factory to Kimbra than give it to Sahar!”Asa looked at Rowan gratefully after he said the last sentence.“Well, Mr. Jefferson, I am truly grateful for your presence.“I have been making trade demands in my small circle for many days now, and none of them came to the deal in good faith. You’re the only one who came up with a price from the start, and it’s a very sincere price.“Besides, you have the best background of all. Anyone would be satisfied with a buyer like you, a buyer I very much need at this time.“I was afraid that old thing Sahar would continue to play dirty tricks after I knew you were coming. Then, at that very moment, I received a phone call.”Asa’s face turned a little strange as he spoke.However, Rowan knew why Asa had that look on his face shortly after.“It was
