The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 1439

Besides, Zane was not chairing the meeting today.

A middle-aged man with his hair gelled back against his head was the chair of
the meeting.

The few people around him were extremely respectful toward him.

It seemed like the status of the middle-aged man was higher than everyone else
in the room.

“Tell me about your thoughts.”

The middle-aged man with his hair gelled back against his head said in an even
tone.

The five men and women opposite them were representative figures of the real
estate industry in Joules Town.

Therefore, Zane and the other government office workers must have called them
over to discuss something related to the real estate industry.

That was the exact reason why they were all meeting in this room.

Billion Trees Real Estate was a pretty renowned company.

Therefore, the changes that happened to Billion Trees Real Estate would
naturally affect a lot of people and things.

Actually, the higher-ups knew all about everything that Billion Trees Real Estate
had been up to, but why did they not do anything to them?

It was not because Jimmy Lidell had someone's protection.

It was because everyone else would definitely get badly affected if Billion Trees
Real Estate was overthrown.

Plenty of people and companies would also be affected because of this.
Meanwhile, the higher-ups wanted all companies to progress and develop in a
stable manner. They did not have to attain great achievements, but they should
not make any mistakes at the very least.

Therefore, the higher-ups would overlook a lot of things as long as Billion Trees
Real Estate did not go overboard.

Following the downfall of Billion Trees Real Estate, the structure of the real estate
industry in Joules Town would be newly reshuffled as well.

The higher-ups also had to follow up on the major impacts caused by the
company’s downfall.

It was a situation that was similar to how developers are unable to bear the
responsibility for buildings built with defective materials in a city.

Perhaps one of the higher-ups would bear the responsibility for this incident to
give the people an explanation

They could bear the responsibilities, but they still had to let the professionals deal
with the professional side of things.

In terms of one’s profession, these top figures from the real estate industry
naturally became their top candidates

That was the reason why Zane and the others had invited them over

“Mr Dane, we'd first like to hear your thoughts on this....

“We'll definitely work with you to the best of our abilities.”

One of the middle-aged men replied with a chuckle.

Although the five of them had extremely high net worth, they still did not dare to
cause trouble in front of the middle-aged man with his hair gelled to the back of
his head.

They had to show him absolute respect at all times.

After all, Johnson Dane was Zane's direct supervisor!

Zane already had an extremely high status. Johnson's position was two ranks
higher than that of Zane.

They did not dare to delay anything when it came to orders from someone with
such a high status.

“There are many stakeholders involved with Billion Trees Real Estate.

“This includes but isn’t limited to the upstream and downstream suppliers, clients,
and bank debts of Billion Trees Real Estate.

“Besides, all the employees of Billion Trees Real Estate are yet to receive their
salary. There's also all the completed and uncompleted projects under Billion
Trees Real Estate's name.

“These matters need to be taken care of by someone.”

Johnson took a sip of tea and started getting into the main topic.

This was the reason why he had not done anything to Billion Trees Real Estate in
the past.

A corporation could go bankrupt rather easily.

However, it was not that easy to resolve all the problems following the bankruptcy
of the

company.

As the saying goes, one’s debts still existed even after one’s death.

Although Billion Trees Real Estate had just gone bankrupt and Jimmy and all the
shareholders of the company was dead, these things would not disappear just
like that.

They still had to pay all the debts that they owed, and someone still had to
handle all the unresolved

matters.

Johnson had gathered everyone over for a meeting just to discuss this issue.
“Cough...”

The five men and women coughed lightly and remained silent after hearing what
Johnson said.

It went without a doubt that all of them wanted to get their hands on Billion Trees
Real Estate.

Even if wealthy people lose their money, they are still wealthier than poor people.
This saying existed for a

reason.

In sum, all of Billion Trees Real Estate’s assets were worth a total of at least 150
million dollars.

Therefore, all of them wanted to get their hands on the company.

What they truly wanted was Billion Trees Real Estate’s funds.

However, what should they do with all those debts?

“As the pioneers of the industry, don’t you guys have any thoughts on this?”
Johnson was already hinting at them extremely obviously with his words.

The five of them were capable of expanding their company so well. Besides their
personal capabilities, they must have received plenty of support from their
higher-ups as well.

Their higher-ups have provided them with plenty of support and given them the
green light in plenty of areas and during plenty of instances.

Now that their higher-ups were facing a difficult situation, it was only reasonable
for them to stand up and help them resolve their problems.

However, why would these sly foxes choose to work on the mess left behind by
Billion Trees Real Estate just like that?

“I know what you're thinking about.

“Although Billion Trees Real Estate is deep in debt at the moment, the company
will be able to gain profit very soon as long as it's been operated well.

“I guess all of you have a clearer idea on this than me.”

Johnson Dane added when he noticed that no one was saying anything.

The five men and women nodded lightly.

It was true. Given the total funds of Billion Trees Real Estate, one would not have
to pay compensation after taking over the company.

However, one would have to resolve all existing problems within the company if
one wished to operate the company all over again.

This would require a huge amount of time and effort as well as the support of a
large sum of funds.

150 million dollars might not even be enough.

How would they dare to invest so much money into a bankrupt company?
