Chapter 864
Jones Corporation headquarters was a skyscraper. It was a landmark within the commercial arena.
After several decades of steady development, the foundation of Jones Corporation now was deeply
rooted in the Sea City.
The succession contest kicked off. The internal management got even busier.
Daniel went to the finance department with the documents.
“Young Master Jones, what brings you here?” The Chief Financial Officer grinned and flipped through
the documents Daniel had passed to him “Soit’s about the investment funds for the resort. Mdm.
Zhenny mentioned it to me this morning I’ll stamp the document and release the funds now. Young
Master Jones, please wait for a while”
Daniel waited patiently. The moment he received the funds, he frowned. “The preliminary investment
funds required for the project is at least $1,500,000,000”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Chief Financial Officer smiled. “The tal proposal stated the project required $ 1,000,000,000. I am
doing my work according to the company’s policy The remaining $ 2,000,000,000 in the company’s
account is meant for the petrochemical project. Hence, I can’t release the funds to you, Young Master
Jones Tapologize”
Daniel’s face darkened. The required investment funds for the initial proposal was indeed $
1,000,000,000. However, the proposal had been revised and approved, thus the required investment
funds had been changed to $1,500,000,000
Moreover, Graham had to raise another $5,000,000,000 investment funds from the public aside from
the company’s internal funds of $1,500,000,000.
In other words, they had to gather at least $ 2,000,000,000 in a month before the construction work
began.
“Young Master Jones, please don’t put us in a difficult position Mdm Jones who is not willing to approve
your fund request. I cannot do anything for you,” said the Chief Financial Officer
Daniel understood. The company didn’t lack funds. It was Zhenny who denied the finance department
from releasing additional funds for the resort project.
Daniel left the finance department. He called Graham. If Graham managed to collect more investment
funds, Daniel did not have to plead with the finance department for more funds,
“Young Master Jones, several investors turned down my request without even considering it. Mdm.
Jones must have contacted them.” Graham was disappointed. “I’ll figure out another way and contact
other investors. Ms. Daugherty assigned me for this mission, and I will do what I can.”
Daniel’s face turned gloomier.
Graham was a marketing manager. Zhenny must be acquainted with the investors he was going to
contact, and she might have pulled some strings for them to refuse to invest in their project.
A phone call from Zhenny and the investors certainly would not dare to get involved with the resort
project.
Zhenny had blocked all their paths.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Mr. Tissot, I’ll gather the investment funds with you,” said Daniel in a low voice. “I’m the young master
of the Jones family. The investors might be more willing if I am present. Wait for me for thirty minutes, I
-”
Before Daniel finished his words, his phone vibrated. “Mr. Tissot, please wait for a moment. Adina is
calling me.” Daniel took in a deep breath and answered her call. “Adina, how are you?” he pretended to
be cheerful.
“I’m much better now, but Duke refuses to let me work,” she said. “How’s the progress of the project?”
“I’ve received $1,000,000,000 from the company as the project fund. We can start the construction
work for the foundation of aquatic activities,” said Daniel calmly. “I am meeting up with Mr. Tissot later,
and I’ll report to you about other updates tonight.” Adina narrowed her eyes. “$1,000,000,000 only?”
Her estimated investment funds for the first quarter were $2,000,000,000. Jones Corporation was
expected to release $ 1,500,000,000 for the project. Meanwhile, Graham had said he would raise
another $5,000,000,000 from other investors.
‘Why did the company approve only $1,000,000,000 for the resort project?’
