In the conference room, Matthew told the shareholders about the villa area project.
“I’ve already asked someone to summarize everything. Those who cooperated with Young Master Lach
are in trouble and owe a lot of money because of the suspension of the project. If no one can restart this
project, the money they had invested in it would all go to waste, which is why we can buy this project at a
low price at a time like this. Once the project launches, we’ll be able to make a lot of money,” Matthew
said.
The people around him glanced at each other. At first, they thought Matthew was talking but a small
project and had never expected it to be such a big one.
Then, Jefford asked, “Mr. Larson, this project needs a lot of money, right? I don’t think the funds we have
is enough.”
Hearing this, Matthew chuckled and reassured, “Don’t worry, this project doesn’t require much funding
in the future. I estimate that it’ll need about one billion. The construction company has 250 million and
I’ve also found some other investments, so money isn’t a problem. You can invest as much as you
want, depending on your situation of course.”
Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief. They weren’t worried about whether the investment
would lose money; what they were worried about was whether they had the money to invest! Upon
hearing that, Jefford hurriedly said, “Mr. Larson, I have 20 million in my hands and I have a few shares
that I can sell. Once I sell all of those, I can probably raise 10 million from there. Is it alright if I invest 30
million?”
Matthew glanced at him and asked with a smile, “Jefford, aren’t you afraid that this investment might fail?
This villa area project is under suspension right now.”
However, Jefford only smiled and replied, “Mr. Larson, you’ve already invested so much money yourself.
My 30 million is nothing compared to yours. No matter what happens to the project, as long as it’s a
project that you’ve invested in, I’ll follow and invest in it too. After all, I trust you completely!”
Matthew smiled and nodded in reply. Those shareholders who stayed indeed had great trust in him.
Monte, too, invested 30 million. As for the other shareholders, they each invested a smaller sum. After
combining everything, the total of their investments reached 200 million. This was beyond Matthew’s
expectations as he originally thought that they would only invest around 100 million. After all, the villa
area project was under suspension so it would be pretty difficult for them to relaunch the project.
If they spent the money but in the end failed to restart the project, the money would go to waste and they
would never get any of it back. Under such circumstances, there weren’t many people who dared to
invest.
Who would have thought that these people would have so much confidence in him that they were willing
to invest all their additional funds?
Matthew nodded and murmured, “Thank you for your support. Since you believe in me, I’ll definitely not
let you down!” The group of people then continued to chat for a while before the shareholders got up and
left.
When Matthew walked out of the conference room, he saw James and Liam approaching him with angry
expressions. These two had specially come over today to watch Matthew embarrass himself but
unexpectedly, he managed to solve everything easily. Plus, he didn’t lose anything and instead bought
Eric’s shares on Sasha’s behalf.
James went straight up to Matthew and in a solemn voice, he asked, “Matthew, what did you discuss
with them just now?”
“Some business affairs,” Matthew calmly replied.
Hearing this, James frowned and asked, “What business affairs do you have with them? Matthew, I’m
warning you, don’t have bad intentions and try to trick me! Don’t think that having a close relationship
with these shareholders will help you take over the Cunningham family’s business! It’ll do you well to
remember that this company belongs to the Cunningham family and no one can take it away from us!”
