The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 765

The money was delicious bait

At that moment, however, Jon had no such concerns,

Zimmer Corporations was in desperate need for financial resources.

It was like a cake had appeared in front of a starving man

He did not care if there was poison in the cake. He would just scarf it down without a second thought.

Even though Jon was a cunning old fox, he did not have any suspicions.

They had bought the most prized land in River City. If they succeeded in developing it, the Zimmer family wil
rise through the ranks swiftly

Therefore, he felt that it was very normal for his company's stocks to skyrocket

Each selloff brought in a huge amount of money.

Jon did not even know how many shares he had sold that day.

However, at the end of the day, he still retained some sense of rationality and did an estimation of the shares
he had

He had to always ensure that Zimmer Corporation's share of equity was accounted for.

He would only be able to retain his position as the chairman of Zimmer Corporations with more than half of the
shares.

"I've counted it, dad. With the 10% that I have, we still have 55% of the shares.
So, we don't have to worry."

Quill was more excited than Jon.

When he saw the steady influx of funds into the company’s account, the feeling
that he felt was indescribable.

"Alright! It's almost time to stop.”

Jon leaned against the backrest of his swivel chair. He felt extremely pleased.
This sell-off had given them plenty of liquidity.

Not only would the 60-million-dollar-debt be paid off, but there would also still be
a hefty amount of reserve funds for the development of the land in the future.
"We'll be spending the most money when we're developing the land, right dad?"
Quill thought for a moment and asked.

"Heh, today I'll be teaching you the ways of a capitalist. We develop the land and
compensate for the demolition. We can negotiate with the original residents to
sell their property with an additional sum of compensation. This way, we'll only
need a small fraction of the capital to get started. Then we can carry out real
estate development. At this time, we can pre-sell in advance and collect funds.
With that money, we can build real estate and sell it to them. We will hardly be
using our capital flow. This is what a capitalist should do."

Jon laughed. The more he thought about it, the more pleased with himself he
became.

"Understood, dad."

Quill nodded along enthusiastically.

They seemed to have seen the moment that Zimmer Corporation would soar to
the top.

The Quinn family, inside Old Madam Quinn's residence.

Ever since Willow left the Quinn family, Old Madam Quinn had been in low spirits.
She never wanted to drive Willow out of the Quinn family.

She still hoped to arrange a marriage between Willow and one of River City's
aristocratic families. This way, the Quinn family would get strong support.

In the end, Willow left. How could she arrange a marriage with them now?

These days, ever since Simon took over the company that Willow was in charge
of, he often complained in front of Old Madam Quinn.

He dug out many of the decisions Willow made during her time in the company
and brought up countless questions.

In short, he was trying to demean Willow.

Old Madam Quinn was beyond irritated.

Today, Samuel and Simon had gathered here again. She did not know what they
wanted to tell her this time.

"What's the matter? Just say it."

Old Madam Quinn picked up her cup to take a sip.

"Old Madam, at today’s auction... Sean bid 60 million dollars and bought a piece of land."

Samuel's sudden words made Old Madam Quinn's hands jolt. The teacup almost slipped out of her grasp.
"What? What did you say?"

Old Madam Quinn's widened as she stared at Samuel in disbelief.

"I said Sean bid 60 million dollars and bought a piece of land."

Samuel paused for a moment before repeating himself.

Old Madam Quinn was stunned. Even though Simon had already known that he sill did not know what to think
when he heard it again.

"He... Didn't you say that he borrowed that 50 million dollars? And he dares to spend it so extravagantly? And
he just spent 60 billion dollars in one go? Moreover, he doesn't even have a company. Why does he want that
piece of land?" 2

Old Madam Quinn had countless questions

However, no one could provide her with the answers she sought because Samuel, Simon, and Faye had
thought about it the entire day, and they still could not figure it out

They could not find out where Sean's money had come from

Sean had not taken a loan nor did he win the lottery. It seemed as if his money had just appeared out of thin
air

It was like he already had that much money, to begin with, and it was just left untouched in the past.

"Could it be that he’s secretly wealthy? But wasn't he in the military? How could someone in the military be so
rich?"

Old Madam Quinn muttered to herself. These were questions that Simon and the others could not understand
too.
