Chapter 966 No Bottom Line
James clapped his hands immediately after hearing his response. "Okay. Let's say it's 10 billion-from this 10
billion, after deducting sother expenses, there will be almost 9 billion left. You have 60% of the shares, so
your final dividend will be more than 5 billion. That is to say, there are almost 4 billion left to be distributed to
other shareholders. Am | right?"
Matthew nodded. This would be the ideal case, but in reality, things wouldn't always go according to plan.
James continued, "Well, let's say you get 5 billion and the shareholders share 4 billion; after this project is
completed, we will eventually be able to get 5 billion, or even less than 5 billion. However, Matthew, dic you
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtknow that if Liam is the general manager, he will be able to get back almost 1.5 billion to 2 billion worth of
rebate from this basic renovation alone! Do take note that we don't need to share this money with the other
shareholders."
James becmore and more worked up and said loudly, "That is nearly 2 billion in our pockets! And this is not
the end of it. The basic renovation costs a lot, and we would have to scrap the subsequent earnings as an
expense for basic renovation. In other words, the dividends that can be distributed in the end would be about 7
billion. From the 7 billion, you can get 4 billion, while the other shareholders get 3 billion. Just from this
calculation, our family can make 6 billion! Matthew, do you understand what this means? We only have to let
Liam manage as the general manager, and our family can earn an extra 1 billion! Do you understand how big of
a deal this is?"
Sasha finally understood, and her eyes widened from shock. "Dad...h-how can you do such a thing? You are
obviously deceiving the other shareholders! Those people trust us, and that's why they decided to work with us
in the first place. If you do this to them, how are you gonna face them in the future?"
James waved his hand. "And this is why | say that you are not suitable to be the chairman! Sasha, this is
business-you have to be calculative in order to get the maximum returns. Are those people only cooperating with
us because of trust? They cto cooperate with us for the sake of profit! If there is no profit, I'm sure they
would run away, one faster than the other! Lettell you-in the face of real interests, all trust is fake, and
making money is the only truth; and that is the real purpose of the business! | asked Liam to do this to maximize
the interests of our family. Do you understand?" Sasha was stunned. Well, according to what Dad just said, did
Liam just becthe hero of the story? How does that work? He embezzled so much money from the company
just to make more money for the family, and now, he is the hero? What?
"Dad, this is wrong! We can't explain to the shareholders the unreasonable cost of the renovation. Besides, he's

won't be easy for us to handle!" Matthew rebuked.
James waved his hand. "How can you not deceive people in business? That's why | have you to handle the
shareholders. Don't they trust you completely? As for those who bought the houses, just coax them first by all
means. Our goal is to get the sale! As for the follow-up situation, since the villas have been sold, they have
nothing to do with us anymore! There are so many people in Eastcliff who have defended their rights after
buying a house, but how many of them succeeded? In the end, they all had to accept their fate! Matthew, let me
tell you again: Making money is the most important thing in doing business. Okay?"
Matthew frowned while thinking that James' values were too distorted.
He had no bottom line when it cto profit!
