NovelEnglishChapter 845 "But if I do that, the company shares he promised me..." Jane trailed off.
"Jane, you can't have it all. It's already a blessing in disguise that Grandpa hasn't completely lost faith in you. You'll have other chances for the shares in the future," Gabriel advised.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJane was upset, but she knew Gabriel was right. She reluctantly nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go talk to Grandpa." A little over ten minutes later, Pedro's voice boomed through the study of the Wilkie mansion. His expression was grim. "How did you raise your son?! Wilhelm actually dared to tell such a lie! And you approached Damon for negotiations without verifying the facts? You've completely embarrassed the Wilkies!" Jane kept her eyes down, displeasure flickering in them, but she didn't dare retort.
Once Pedro finished his tirade, Jane cautiously looked up and said, "Grandpa, it seems the collaboration with Prospectus Technology is definitely off.
"I met with Mr. Shane Tonra from Starlite Enterprise today, and he agreed to let the Wilkie Group participate in the Golden Waters Resort project. The initial investment might be quite high, though..." At the mention of "Golden Waters Resort", a hint of surprise crossed Pedro's face. He was familiar with the project. Several companies had previously sought to collaborate with Starlite Enterprise but had been turned down. "Are you sure Starlite Enterprise is willing to let the Wilkie Group join?" he asked.
Jane nodded. "I'm sure. Starlite Enterprise is open to other companies because they've been facing cash flow issues and won't be able to handle the project alone. That's why they're willing to allow others to join." As she spoke, she observed Pedro's expression.
Realizing he was receptive, she continued. "When I spoke to Mr. Tonra, Mr. Calnan from Start Vic and Mr. Ludlam from the Ludlam Group were also present. They want in on this project as well." Pedro frowned and asked, "How much capital is needed to join this project?" "Half a billion dollars," Jane answered.
"What?!" Pedro's eyes widened in shock. He flatly refused, "No way! This project won't yield any profits in the short term. If we invest this much capital, the Wilkie Group may face bankruptcy if anything goes wrong later." If he were younger, he would have jumped at such a great opportunity, willing to risk everything. Now that he was older, he lacked that sfighting spirit. If the Wilkie Group went bankrupt now, he wouldn't have the energy or courage to start over.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing his refusal, Jane grew anxious and pleaded, "Grandpa, this opportunity is hard to cby Once the resort is built, it will start generating profits, and we'll get our money back gradually." Pedro rejected her argument. "You don't need to say anything more. I won't agree. Just go home."
Jane was frustrated, but she knew that most of the Wilkie Group's m Milking shares were in Pedro's hands. If he didn't agree, nothing would happen. She sighed. "Grandpa, I hope you can reconsider. I'm meeting with Mr. Tonra tomorrow. If you change your mind, letknow—"
Pedro coldly interrupted, "Jane, I b know you're eager to make a nfor yourself, but business is like war. If you rush in too hastily, you'll only make mistakes." "Yes, Grandpa, I understand," Jane replied.
Realizing she wasn't truly listening, Pedro waved her away. After she left, he moved to the window and gazed grimly at the dark night.
