The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 1439

Besides, Zane was not chairing the meeting today.

A middle-aged man with his hair gelled back against his head was the chair of the meeting.

The few people around him were extremely respectful toward him.

It seemed like the status of the middle-aged man was higher than everyone else in the room.

“Tell me about your thoughts.”

The middle-aged man with his hair gelled back against his head said in an even tone.

The five men and women opposite them were representative figures of the real estate industry in Joules

Town.

Therefore, Zane and the other government office workers must have called them over to discuss

something related to the real estate industry.

That was the exact reason why they were all meeting in this room.

Billion Trees Real Estate was a pretty renowned company.

Therefore, the changes that happened to Billion Trees Real Estate would naturally affect a lot of people

and things.

Actually, the higher-ups knew all about everything that Billion Trees Real Estate had been up to, but why

did they not do anything to them?

It was not because Jimmy Lidell had someone’s protection.

It was because everyone else would definitely get badly affected if Billion Trees Real Estate was

overthrown.

Plenty of people and companies would also be affected because of this.

Meanwhile, the higher-ups wanted all companies to progress and develop in a stable manner. They did

not have to attain great achievements, but they should not make any mistakes at the very least.

Therefore, the higher-ups would overlook a lot of things as long as Billion Trees Real Estate did not go

overboard.

Following the downfall of Billion Trees Real Estate, the structure of the real estate industry in Joules

Town would be newly reshuffled as well.

The higher-ups also had to follow up on the major impacts caused by the company’s downfall.

It was a situation that was similar to how developers are unable to bear the responsibility for buildings

built with defective materials in a city.

Perhaps one of the higher-ups would bear the responsibility for this incident to give the people an

explanation

They could bear the responsibilities, but they still had to let the professionals deal with the professional

side of things.

In terms of one’s profession, these top figures from the real estate industry naturally became their top

candidates

That was the reason why Zane and the others had invited them over

“Mr Dane, we’d first like to hear your thoughts on this….

“We’ll definitely work with you to the best of our abilities.”

One of the middle-aged men replied with a chuckle.

Although the five of them had extremely high net worth, they still did not dare to cause trouble in front of

the middle-aged man with his hair gelled to the back of his head.

They had to show him absolute respect at all times.

After all, Johnson Dane was Zane’s direct supervisor!

Zane already had an extremely high status. Johnson’s position was two ranks higher than that of Zane.

They did not dare to delay anything when it came to orders from someone with such a high status.

“There are many stakeholders involved with Billion Trees Real Estate.

“This includes but isn’t limited to the upstream and downstream suppliers, clients, and bank debts of

Billion Trees Real Estate.

“Besides, all the employees of Billion Trees Real Estate are yet to receive their salary. There’s also all

the completed and uncompleted projects under Billion Trees Real Estate’s name.

“These matters need to be taken care of by someone.”

Johnson took a sip of tea and started getting into the main topic.

This was the reason why he had not done anything to Billion Trees Real Estate in the past.

A corporation could go bankrupt rather easily.

However, it was not that easy to resolve all the problems following the bankruptcy of the

company.

As the saying goes, one’s debts still existed even after one’s death.

Although Billion Trees Real Estate had just gone bankrupt and Jimmy and all the shareholders of the

company was dead, these things would not disappear just like that.

They still had to pay all the debts that they owed, and someone still had to handle all the unresolved

matters.

Johnson had gathered everyone over for a meeting just to discuss this issue.

“Cough…”

The five men and women coughed lightly and remained silent after hearing what Johnson said.

It went without a doubt that all of them wanted to get their hands on Billion Trees Real Estate.

Even if wealthy people lose their money, they are still wealthier than poor people. This saying existed for

a

reason.

In sum, all of Billion Trees Real Estate’s assets were worth a total of at least 150 million dollars.

Therefore, all of them wanted to get their hands on the company.

What they truly wanted was Billion Trees Real Estate’s funds.

However, what should they do with all those debts?

“As the pioneers of the industry, don’t you guys have any thoughts on this?”

Johnson was already hinting at them extremely obviously with his words.

The five of them were capable of expanding their company so well. Besides their personal capabilities,

they must have received plenty of support from their higher-ups as well.

Their higher-ups have provided them with plenty of support and given them the green light in plenty of

areas and during plenty of instances.

Now that their higher-ups were facing a difficult situation, it was only reasonable for them to stand up and

help them resolve their problems.

However, why would these sly foxes choose to work on the mess left behind by Billion Trees Real Estate

just like that?

“I know what you’re thinking about.

“Although Billion Trees Real Estate is deep in debt at the moment, the company will be able to gain profit

very soon as long as it’s been operated well.

“I guess all of you have a clearer idea on this than me.”

Johnson Dane added when he noticed that no one was saying anything.

The five men and women nodded lightly.

It was true. Given the total funds of Billion Trees Real Estate, one would not have to pay compensation

after taking over the company.

However, one would have to resolve all existing problems within the company if one wished to operate

the company all over again.

This would require a huge amount of time and effort as well as the support of a large sum of funds.

150 million dollars might not even be enough.

How would they dare to invest so much money into a bankrupt company?
