Chapter 764

"Business or battlefields, their essence is the same."

Sean picked up his cup and slowly took a sip once he finished speaking.

"I'll get the job done, Commander."

Zander took a deep breath and nodded seriously at Sean.

"Okay! I'll head back first. Willow said she’s waiting to have dinner with me."

Sean smiled gently, put down his cup, then turned to leave the office.

"Yes!"

Zander and Harry sent him off respectfully.

As he watched Sean leave, Zander had a complicated look in his eyes.

"Say, Brother Zander, doesn't he seem like the type of guy who would excel no matter what field he's in?"

Harry rubbed his chin and muttered to himself.

Zander did not reply as he watched Sean's car drive off. He only turned back once Sean left.

"Blaze Lake wants to bury Commander in the ground but he doesn't realize that Commander is a seed. A seed that will grow into a towering

tree."

As soon as he finished speaking, he left the office with his hands behind his back.

They did not dare to neglect the tasks that Sean had assigned them.

Starting today, the war with the Zimmer family will officially begin.

All the preparations they made will be put to use.

Meanwhile, at Zimmer Corporations.

In the chairman's office.

Jon and Quill were both busy.

They had to make up for the 60 million dollars that they owed.

This debt was different than the others.

If it were their client's payments or even bank loans, they could delay it.

However, they owed 60 million dollars to River City's government. Jon had used Zimmer Corporations

as collateral and signed a three-day guarantee.

If he could not hand over the 60 million dollars, River City's government would not let him go that easily.

Once Jon returned, he called those he knew at the banks.

However, after several calls in a row, he got the same answer, which was that it could not be done at

the moment.

They had recently given out many loans. So they had no way of giving out 60 million dollars to Jon.

Jon did not think too much about it, nor would he have thought that someone had instructed this.

"No worries, I’ll ask someone else."

Jon waved his hand nonchalantly and hung up the call.

He did not think that it would be difficult to amass 60 million dollars.

After all, Zimmer Corporation had a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars. 60 million dollars was

barely anything to them.

So until now, Jon was still not too bothered.

However, after he made a few more calls, only to be rejected again and again. He began to panic.

"Something's not right. We have a pretty good relationship with these companies. Why aren’t they

willing to lend us the money?”

Jon rubbed his forehead as he muttered to himself, confused.

The calls he had made were all to his business partners.

He initially thought that he could collect some money from them, but they all rejected him.

This perplexed Jon.

"Dad, my friends said that they don't have the money either."

Quill shook his head too. He thought that he might be able to amass 60 million dollars from his friends

who were all descendants of affluent families.

"Do you think that your spineless friends would lend you money? Useless!"

Jon spat, glaring at Quill.

He was beginning to feel anxious.

Zimmer Corporation could not produce that kind of money at the moment because Jon had already

gathered as much as he possibly could for this land.

On the company's books, there were still some funds left to maintain basic operations, which must not

be moved.

He thought that he would be able to collect 60 million dollars easily, but now, he did not even get a

single cent.

He could not get any bank loans, and none of his business partners were willing to lend him the money.

His two options did not exist anymore.

"Chairman."

At that moment, a knock on the door sounded.

"Come in."

Jon waved his hand, letting the female assistant enter.

"Chairman, our stock has risen drastically, and many people are buying our company's stock."

After her report, Jon's eyes lit up.

"They must know that our company obtained River City's most prized land and that we'll only become more powerful in the future. It seems

like they're seizing the opportunity now!"

Jon chuckled to himself and said, "Let it go as high as it can. Release it, as much as you possibly can. I want to cash out now!"

A large number of sell-offs would allow equity to be achieved.

This was Jon's plan.

"Yes, sir!"

The female assistant followed his orders.

"This way, we'll have money, won’t we?"

Jon leaned on the executive’s chair, lit a cigar, and laughed.

"Are you sure this is fine, dad?"

Quill was a bit hesitant. If the value of the stock continued to rise and they could not control the overall situation, it would have some impact

on the future.

"Relax. You know how people are. They always buy when it goes up, not when it goes down. They can't resist it when the prices go up. If the

prices go down, they will just keep watching, hoping that it will keep dropping."

Jon, that old fox, was well-versed in this world of business.

"Alright.”

Quill did not say anything else. He did not have Jon’s brains or experience.

One day later.

Zimmer Corporations was hustling constantly.

As he sold the stock and cashed out the equity, Jon could not stop smiling as he watched the funds flow into the company's account.

No one could keep calm when they faced such a huge sum of money.

Jon was no exception.

At that moment, he felt like he had become rich overnight.

However, no one knew that these purchased stocks would eventually be gathered into a small, unknown company.

The Zimmer family has obtained a lot of money.

However, their newfound riches came with a price.

Once they removed the money from the bag, they might replace that what lay beneath was a lethal poison.
