“But Leah, I don’t think the Quinn family and Quill will let us live in peace.

“Actually, I’m worried about Quill going after Sean.”

Willow gritted her teeth slightly. As a River City citizen, she knew how powerful the Zimmer family was.

Sean might be wealthy, but he was not as powerful as the Zimmer family.

What Old Madam Quinn had said echoed in Willow’s head.

Money was important in this society, but it was not everything.

Civilians would not challenge the rich, and the rich would not challenge government officials.

Between money and power, power came first.

Leah was silent for two seconds before answering softly.

“Well, Sean can figure this out, right?”

Willow’s concerns were also hers, of course.

However, she thought Sean must have some confidence to continue living in River City.

She just had no idea what Sean was going to do.

It was quiet all night.

The next day.

9.30 a.m. when the stock market opened.

Many stockholders found that Zimmer Corporation’s stocks were open for trade.

Things were going well with the funds that Jon had borrowed.

What Zimmer Corporation did immediately silenced the stockholders.

Then Jon held another press conference at 10 a.m.

Zimmer Corporation’s public relations department had prepared for this press conference overnight

yesterday.

All the reporters present today had been bribed not to ask tricky questions.

Therefore, it was more of a public speech Jon prepared instead of a press conference.

Jon had paid off many of the loans they owed to River City banks.

With the rest secured by 5% of Zimmer Corporation’s shares, the banks would not pressure them,

of course.

They had settled the stockholders and the bank loans, and Jon was feeling smug.

At the press conference.

Jon stood on the stage in front of a bunch of microphones and cameras and started talking.

He talked about Zimmer Corporation’s wealth and development prospects. He was quite ambitious.

After an impassioned speech, Jon brought up the land.

“As you all know, the land that Zimmer Corporation acquired is an area that River City will focus on

developing in the future.

“The government entrusted this task to Zimmer Real Estate Company. They have trust and

expectations for the Zimmer family.

“As chairman of Zimmer Corporation, I, Jon Zimmer, reassure River City’s business circle allies and the

people of River City that we will live up to your expectations and develop this land.”

As Jon finished, the room burst into thunderous applause.

Camera lights flashed, and the sound of camera shutters rang.

Jon beamed with satisfaction as everyone watched him.

Jon made a gesture, and the crowd immediately stopped applauding.

Jon was pleased with the crowd’s cooperation.

“Of course, I’m deeply honored that the government values Zimmer Corporation so much.

“The land is so important that Zimmer Corporation might not be able to build it perfectly.

“So we are looking for a partner.

“Interested partners can meet with us to discuss the follow–up development issues and work with us.”

Jon looked at the camera, smiling broadly.

He did not make himself too clear.

However, anyone from River City’s business circle would understand.

Jon was trying to attract funds!

By seeking partners, he meant attractingother companies to invest in them.In time, he would hand

offsome development projects to other companies.It would be a win win situation.Therefore, many real

estate companies were alittle excited after John finished speaking.Even companies that were not

focusedon real estate development were interested.Everyone knew that River City's major

developmentside had a lot of potential.Businessmen were afterprofits facing sucha potentially profitable

project.Everyone wanted a piece of it.The press conference ended with applause beforeJohn got back

to the office.His personal phone had been ringing nonstop.The ones that did not have John'sprivate

number contacted Zimmer Corporation instead.Many companies wanted to get involved.John laughed

and threw his phone aside.He wanted to keep these people hangingand make his offer once they

panicked.Have you learned your lesson?John lit a cigar and said to quill with a smile,
