Chapter 237
Although it was just an ordinary afternoon, there were many people at Oriental Tower as usual, and business was going well.
Standing on the third floor and seeing people come in wave after wave, Richard was quite excited. “Mr. Lynch, with the foot traffic of our Tower, I can be sure that we’ll have a pure profit of at least five million this month!”
“It’s not easy!” Franklin said regretfully. “Mr. Ramirez, do you know how much funding was invested to attract so many people here?”
Richard had just taken over the Tower and had yet to take a look at financial reports. He furrowed his brows a little and asked, “How much?”
“It’s not much.” A distressed but proud expression appeared on Franklin’s face. “It’s only ten times the pure profit you mentioned just now.”
“Fifty million!” Richard let out a gasp.
Before his family was hit with misfortune, the total of his family’s assets was around fifty million. In just a few short days, they threw out the equivalent of what the Ramirez family was worth back then?
He pursed his mouth, and his eyes were filled with admiration when he looked at Franklin. “Mr. Lynch, sure enough, the way you conduct business is so impressive!”
“What’s so impressive!” Franklin waved his hand. “Do you think I’m not distressed about it? But Jay doesn’t care about this. He just arranged for the money to be spilled out in large amounts!”
“So…” Richard frowned and praised Jacob. “Jay is the one with courage. It truly is the principle of never catching the wolf if one is not prepared to risk his child.”
“It’ll be easier for you to say that I have no ability as a father.” Franklin gave him a sideways glance.
“How could I say that!” Richard shook his head. “After all, you brought up such a courageous son. That’s your ability, isn’t it?”
“That sounds like a compliment…” Franklin wrinkled his brow. “But coming from you, why don’t I feel good after hearing it?”
Richard suppressed his laughter and said with a serious face, “Mr. Lynch, I mean well. You must have misheard.”
Franklin was infuriated. “Hmph, Mr. Ramirez, I didn’t think someone as lively as you would have learned to…”
Before he could finish speaking, in the corner of his eye, he saw a team of people, dressed in uniform from relevant departments, walk into the Tower.
Richard’s brows slowly wrinkled as he saw those them. “Firefighting, security, food hygiene. Why did so many departments join forces and come here?”
“Mr. Ramirez, what’s bad is if they come with bad intentions!” Franklin thought of what his son had said. ‘It won’t be very peaceful these two days.’
“I’ll head down to take a look.” With that, Richard rushed down in a hurry.
Ten minutes later, Jacob and Jerry were still on the way to Oriental Tower. At that point, not only had the customers left, but even those who were merchants in the Tower were chased out.
At the entrance of the Tower, Franklin and Richard were silent but extremely furious after seeing that the doors had been sealed.
With a swish, one of the staff members brought out a document that was freshly stamped in bright red ink and said arrogantly, “This is a written notice restricting you from making any rectifications. Keep it well and go to the District Office’s Rectification Division in the afternoon to pay the penalty.”
“There’s a penalty?” Richard scowled.
“Of course.” That staff member glanced at him. “If you pay the fine after the due date, there will be a daily penalty of one percent of the overdue fine for less serious cases. For serious cases, the person in charge of the Tower will be held accountable in prison.”
“Don’t ever think that you’ll be lucky!” With that, the staff member led his people away pompously.
Standing around the entrance of the Tower were those who were chased out.
