Chapter 671 Bring Our Daughter Back From the Crawford Family
T Corporation.
Bianca named the development project Longing Greens. She was longing for a man, waiting for a man.
The man was the indelible mark in her heart.
Her heart was like a barren field, and he was like the rain.
When Longing Greens would be completed in the future, she hoped that her rain would come back to her too.
Construction work on Longing Greens started, but T Corporation faced another problem.
They had temporarily removed themselves from the collaboration project with Vivi Group because of certain problems. Now that
news about Luke's death had spread, Vivi Group took the opportunity to seek compensation from T Corporation for breaching
the contract.
Bianca was not going to let Vivi Group get what they wanted.
She immediately called an emergency meeting and decided that they would pursue all legal avenues.
While legal proceedings were ongoing, T Corporation ran into problems with its funding chain. Without funding, construction work
on Longing Greens could not continue.
T Corporation under Bianca's leadership was stuck in a tough spot.
In the CEO's office.
For the past two days, Bianca had been overworking herself to solve the funding problems. The most uncanny thing was that no
bank was willing to lend money to T Corporation. Bianca suspected that someone must be pulling the strings.
However, she could not find out who it was.
Jason entered the CEO's office and saw Bianca’s frustrated expression." Are you still thinking about the funding problem, Ms.
Rayne?"
Bianca put her pen down and stared at Jason. "Any good news from the investors, Mr. Doyle?'
Jason shook his head defeatedly. "It's strange. No bank is willing to loan money to T Corporation, and our major clients have
been keeping silent. They either say that they're facing financial problems themselves or give some other lame excuse. Ingrates,
all of them!"
He clenched his fist and punched the desk. His aggrieved expression made Bianca dejected.
However, that was all within expectation.
She poured a glass of water for Jason and asked him, "Mr. Doyle, how about if we look for partners or investors and get a loan
from the capital market through financing?"
Jason did not agree. "That's possible, but anyone intending to finance T Corporation would also want to manage the company
too. When that happens, you'll have to reduce your shares and profits in the company.
You've only bought the shares not long ago, and now you're selling them again. I can't say that I agree with that idea."
Bianca lowered her gaze and continued thinking. She was faced with difficulties because she did not want to let go of the shares
of the company.
She also thought of looking for financing solutions from Percy and Jim, Luke's good friends. In fact, the two of them had offered
to help.
However, she did not want to owe them a debt of gratitude.
The two men might be Luke's good friends, but they were shrewd businessmen and would not enter a loss-making deal. They
might not scam Bianca because she was Luke's wife, but they would want a big share of the profits too.
Longing Greens was a major project, and the projected profits would diminish greatly.
After careful consideration, Bianca rejected their offers.
"Mr. Doyle, what do you think of private financing?" After considering the options, that seemed to be the only viable one.
"The private financing market is heavily scrutinized now, and it'll take three to five years before the government legalizes it, not to
mention the general public has been wary of such schemes after a series of legal disputes that stemmed from private financing.
It's not that easy to get money from the general public, and it's very prone to financial mismanagement, not to mention increased
scrutiny from the Securities Commission," Jason made a thorough analysis.
"We won't succeed if we don't take certain risks. Illegal funding schemes might pose a systemic financial risk to the economy, but
there are certain gaps in the current regulations regarding private financing. A fund is considered illegal if it promises returns of
twenty percent or more, so we'll have to limit our returns to about fifteen percent. That should still be attractive enough for the
general public to invest, and we can continue with the project as long as we receive enough funding. The early stages will be
tough, but I can guarantee that the project will make a profit," Bianca said confidently.
She had read many books about economics and management lately, trying to find an exploit to finance the company.
Seeing that Bianca had already made up her mind, Jason did not continue persuading her.
He knew that Mrs. Crawford was not as weak and frail as she seemed. He was eager to see her bring T Corporation to new
heights.
When Jack returned home, he saw Leia in the kitchen, wearing an apron and learning how to make soup from Ms. Lang.
Leia had not been making any public appearances lately because of all the negative press. Whenever she appeared, she would
be instantly bombarded by swarms of netizens.
She decided to be a good girl and wait at home for the right opportunity to make a comeback.
Leia's career was in peril, and her parents were not happy about her recent behavior, especially her father, who seemed to be
more distant toward her. Leia did not want the situation to deteriorate.
That was why she behaved herself.
She had never done any housework before, but she had started to learn cooking from her mother and Ms. Lang. Indeed, her
father seemed to be appeased by the change in her behavior.
Jack glanced inside the kitchen and saw Leia working busily, then went to the studio.
Queenie had sent him a message earlier, telling him to look for her in the studio immediately after he got home.
Jack pushed open the door.
Queenie, as gentle and elegant as ever, was painting a portrait.
Jack could not help but be impressed by his wife's artistic skills. Standing at the door, he could tell that the portrait was vivid and
lifelike. When he went closer, he was surprised that the person in the painting was their daughter...
Bianca Rayne.
"Queenie..." Jack called out his wife's name and gazed at her gently. "Do you have something you want to discuss? What is it?"
Queenie put her paintbrush away and wiped her hands with a rag.
She seemed to be mesmerized by the figure in the painting. "Jack, I was thinking that we should bring our daughter back from
the Crawford family!"
