Chapter 1174 How Can We Make Sure

At a construction site, the construction of the buildings had almost been completed. As a result, the apartment complex was bare and lifeless. At present, the whole area was quiet and devoid of life. The buildings were still a bit dirty and messy. However, Charles believed that this place would become a bustling, vibrant and flourishing economic zone in the future. The location was excellent since it was very accessible via public transportation and close to major universities, hospitals and malls.

There were 24 apartments in this complex. Charles entered into an agreement with the developer on the spot and consented to a price of around 450, 000 dollars per apartment. After signing the agreement, he asked Wiseman to find a reliable interior design firm which would furnish the apartments at the price of 20, 000 dollars per unit. He would give the interior design firm the freedom to choose the designs provided that the apartments would be made tidy, sanitary and comfortable.

The construction of the apartment complex had almost come to an end. Although the construction hadn't been formally completed, the interior design firm which had undertaken the decoration and furnishing of the apartments was now allowed to enter the construction site to start fitting out the units.

Currently, Charles was carefully inspecting the apartments. Meanwhile, inside the Nalan Group's office, Lenny quietly put his cellphone down on the desk. He wore a calm expression on his face but his eyes failed to hide the great fury that he was feeling.

Recently, Hiawatha had been spending plenty of time dealing with the CEO of the Nalan's Group. By now, he had come to understand the demeanor and temperament of this man who was sitting in front of him. He had found that Lenny never revealed his emotions on his face. His experience told him that the calmer Lenny appeared to be, the more severe the situation actually was.

"Mr. Nalan, what... what happened?" Hiawatha asked, trembling.

Lenny did not speak for almost a minute. In a calm voice, he finally replied, "The circumstances of the First Chemical Works have changed. I'm afraid that our application for the acquisition of this plant would be rejected."

Upon hearing this piece of news, Hiawatha instantly lost his composure. He suddenly stood up from his chair and questioned aggressively, "Is it because of Zeus Industrial International? The local government officials from the Merchants Department have known for a long time that we have been planning and preparing for the acquisition of the First Chemical Works. Zeus Industrial International was established only recently. How dare they compete with us? Don't they know the consequences of their actions?"

Not able to hide his emotions anymore, Lenny raised one of his eyebrows and responded, "They absolutely fear nothing since they've emboldened themselves to meddle with us."

Puzzled a bit by Lenny's reply, Hiawatha asked with a confused look, "Doesn't the Mu's Group consider the consequences?"

Lenny picked up a small knife from the table and played with it before replying with a question, "What consequences? The young man who stirred up trouble at the entertainment club the other day was from the Deng Clan. Do you think that they would be freaked out by the consequences?"

Lenny's words only angered Hiawatha. He grinned sarcastically, "I kno

aiming to make the First Chemical Works more vibrant after getting investment."

The members of the ad hoc committee were indeed listening intently to Wally Tong. Mulling over his thoughts, Wally paused for a moment and went on, "More importantly, we have to explore a new path for similar projects. In addition to guaranteeing property safety, it is also necessary to consider the interests of the First Chemical Works' employees. Now, let's welcome the factory director of the First Chemical Works to orient us about the current situation of the plant."

The current factory director of the First Chemical Works was Fenton Xue, who was very fat and paunchy. He was used to shaking his head while speaking.

Fenton Xue's introduction was extremely lengthy. In summary, he only wanted to tell everyone that the First Chemical Works was on the verge of bankruptcy although it had developed very well in the past. It would go bankrupt within one year if it didn't promote investment or introduce extra capital.

Jordon had heard the same words from Fenton Xue's mouth over and over again, so he hadn't listened to him at all. Instead, he was thinking over what he should do next so that Hiawatha Chemicals could smoothly take over the First Chemical Works.

By the end of Fenton Xue's introduction, the committee members started discussing the acquisition plans among themselves. The acquisition plans of Hiawatha Chemicals and Zeus Industrial International were issued to each of the members. As the committee got to work, the meeting room fell silent and only the sound of the pages being flipped through was heard.

At last, Jordon broke the silence by saying, "Mr. Tong, based on these acquisition plans, Zeus Industrial International offers us better benefits, but for me, Hiawatha Chemicals also has its own advantages. For one, Hiawatha Chemicals is a local and established company of SH City, so we know everything about this company. Although Zeus Industrial International has made some alluring promises, we are not sure if it will keep its promises. Even though they have sworn that the former employees of the First Chemical Works could stay and continue to work in their company, how can we make sure that it will stick to its promise?"
