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

“There’s someone else?”Rowan was stunned.Then he seemed to remember something as joy appeared on his face.“Mr. Asa, you mean… the shareholders from other factories?”Asa nodded while smiling.“Yes, the shareholders from other factories. They’ve been threatened as well.“I figured that since I would be falling out with Sahar if I sold my stocks to someone else at this point, I’m going to make a big story out of it.“I’m not just going to sell my stock; I want the shareholders from the other factories to sell their stock with me!”Rowan wondered, “Aren’t you worried we won’t be able to afford it?”Asa stroked his beard and grinned profoundly.“Mr. Jefferson, although I’ve only been active in this tiny factory all my life, I’m not stupid.“Anyone who dared to make such a big acquisition at this juncture is definitely not someone ordinary. What they care about is certainly not a momentary gain or loss, but a more far-reaching purpose.“So, I think such an ambitious person wi

“Hahaha!”Asa laughed until tears streamed down his face.Rowan was confused when he saw this.He did not understand why Asa was laughing like this after he asked him that question; he was just being vigilant.He had thought long and hard before asking this. So, it should not be funny.After a long while, Asa straightened his back and took a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe his tears.He apologized, “I’m sorry, Mr. Jefferson. I’m sorry about that. I have to make it clear that I wasn’t making fun of you.“You just reminded me of some interesting people. Perhaps those people are not worthy to be called human.”Asa saw the confusion on Rowan’s face and stopped keeping him on tenterhooks. He said honestly, “You asked why I didn’t doubt if you have any ulterior motives, right?”Rowan nodded.“Because, if you guys were like them, you wouldn’t have gone through the small circle to look for information to facilitate the deal.“How could a foreign power—so arrogant that they want

Soon, Rowan understood what Asa meant when he said those men were getting restless.Asa led him to a huge office in a remote location.Even though it was called an office, it was big enough to serve as a large conference room that could accommodate dozens of people.At that moment, the office was already filled.There were people on the sofa, on extra seats brought in especially to accommodate the crowd, and even on the floor.Most of them were well-dressed, their hair slicked back. However, in contrast to their well-dressed appearance, they could not hide the anxiety and uneasiness in their eyes.Judging from their attire, they undoubtedly held the highest and most respectable positions in the country. However, their eyes betrayed a sense of insecurity that seemed disproportionate to their status.As Rowan looked at the men, he suddenly understood what Asa meant.Since they were here, they definitely did not intend to give in to Sahar.He could even call them Baltimore’s hi

The anxious crowd finally breathed a long sigh of relief as soon as Rowan declared that.It was as if the tension in the air had been broken.One by one, they stood up and surrounded Rowan as if afraid that the opportunity they had waited for a long time might slip away if they did not pay attention.“Anak, calm down! Sit down, and don’t squeeze in Mr. Jefferson.“And Spalding, why are you in the way? Do you want Mr. Jefferson to talk to us standing?“Cona, I know you're over the moon, but can you stop smiling? No, I don't mean you can't smile, but can you smile with a little more restraint? We're in a negotiation right now, not a party!”…Asa wandered through the crowd as he yelled.He was the one who started this negotiation, so he was trying his best to maintain order.The gentlemen had been waiting for too long, so they could not control their emotions. This was making Asa’s job a little difficult.However, Asa did not look remorseful or impatient. A sincere smile was bl
