“Then I’m competing for the Metro Line 9 project now. Do you have any objections?”
Connor looked at everyone and continued to ask.
“No objections…”
“None…”
Everyone shook their heads without thinking.
“Alright, since none of you have any objections, then this matter is settled! From today onwards, I don’t care what price you have to pay or how much money you have to waste. Even if you end up losing money, you have to win the Metro Line 9 project over, understood?” Connor said as he looked at everyone.
“Yes, Mr. McDonald!” everyone hurriedly replied.
Clyde hesitated for a moment before asking Connor softly, “Mr. McDonald, what if we don’t get this project in the end?”
“I told you that we have to win this project at all costs, so the situation you mentioned won’t exist at all!” Connor calmly replied.
Clyde looked at Connor with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, but did not continue speaking.
“Alright, that’s all I have to say. If you have nothing else to say, then the meeting is over!” Connor said indifferently.
The shareholders in the meeting room were relieved when they heard Connor’s words. They quickly packed up their things and prepared to leave, not wanting to stay here for a second longer. In the eyes of these people, the newly appointed Chairman was not a rich heir who had nothing to do. On the contrary, they felt that Connor was more like a tyrant, and the kind of tyrant who did things without any reason at that.
The shareholders couldn’t take it at all!
A few minutes later, all the shareholders in the meeting room left.
At that moment, only Connor Thomas, and Quenna were left in the meeting room.
Thomas turned to Quenna and said, “You can leave first. I have something to say to Mr. McDonald in private…”
“Ah…Alright!”
Quenna quickly nodded when she heard what Thomas said. She then turned around and walked out of the meeting room.
After Quenna left, Thomas looked at Connor with a faint smile and said softly, “Mr. McDonald, your performance today really surprised me!”
“I just wanted to scare these shareholders. I know that in their eyes, I’m just an ignorant and incompetent rich kid. That’s why they’re so opposed to me competing for the Metro Line 9 project,” Connor replied with a smile.
“That’s good. At the very least, when you take over this company in the future, these shareholders will be more honest!” Thomas nodded.
“Don’t worry. I don’t have any intention of taking over the Empire World Corporation for the time being. You’ll still help me manage it in the future. There are many things in the company that I don’t know…” Connor explained.
“You can learn if you don’t understand, but no matter what, this is what the old Chairman left for you. I am just here to assist you in taking over these things. Once you can control the situation, I can step back safely…”
Thomas said slowly.
Connor couldn’t help but smile when he heard Thomas’s words. He said softly, “If you reach the age where you should retire, I will let you retire, but that will have to wait until I can take over Rockefeller. It’s impossible for you to retire now!”
“Hahaha…” When Thomas heard Connor’s words, he immediately laughed out loud.
In fact, Thomas was very pleased to see Connor like this today because he was waiting for Connor to take the initiative to manage the company. He had never wanted to force Connor to intervene in the company’s affairs because he felt that if he forced these things on him, it would bring a lot of pressure to him.
Moreover, the more he forced Connor, the more Connor might dislike these things.
“Alright, let’s get down to business. Aren’t you curious why I want to take action on this project?” Connor asked Thomas softly.
“Because of Rockefeller’s people, right?”
“That’s right, because of them!” Connor nodded lightly.
“Mr. McDonald, tell me about your current plan!”
Thomas asked.
Connor hesitated for a moment, then said in a serious tone, “I heard that you snatched the oil field project from Birdie Schroder some time ago. She suffered heavy losses because of that project. Is that true?”
“Yes…” Thomas nodded.
Connor narrowed his eyes and asked, “I heard that Birdie is putting all her energy into the subway project again. If we get the subway project, what will happen to her?”
“Birdie Schroder is just the person-in-charge of Rockefeller in Davenport. If two projects fail in a row, Rockefeller will suffer heavy losses, and Birdie will lose her position as person-in-charge…” Thomas said slowly.
“That’s right. If this project really threatens Birdie’s position as the person-in-charge, then she will definitely do her best to remedy the situation. The remedy is also very simple: either we give up the bid before the bidding results are out, or Birdie will think of a way to snatch the project away from us after we get the project…” Connor mused.
Thomas looked at Connor and said nothing.
“But no matter what choice Birdie makes, she will still need to contact the Empire World Corporation because we are her biggest enemies! And I only have one condition, which is for her to talk to me about this matter in person!” Connor said clearly.
Thomas took a deep breath and slowly said, “Mr. McDonald, you actually spent so much effort just to meet Birdie Schroder?”
“That’s right. As long as I can see her, I’ll know her true identity. In that case, we can find a breakthrough to deal with Rockefeller!”
Connor nodded lightly.
In fact, Connor had been thinking about how to deal with Rockefeller, but Rockefeller was so secretive to the point where he only knew the name and no the face of the person-in-charge of a region.
This also caused Rockefeller’s people to always be in the dark, while Connor’s werealways in the light.
If this continued, it would be impossible for Connor to deal with Rockefeller. He did not know who the enemy was, nor did he have any information about Rockefeller.
But at this moment, the Metro Line 9 project was the best breakthrough!
