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.
âYoung Master Jones, what brings you here?â The Chief Financial Officer grinned and flipped through the documents Daniel had passed to him âSoitâs about the investment funds for the resort. Mdm.
Zhenny mentioned it to me this morning Iâll stamp the document and release the funds now. Young Master Jones, please wait for a whileâ
Daniel waited patiently. The moment he received the funds, he frowned. âThe preliminary investment funds required for the project is at least $1,500,000,000â
The Chief Financial Officer smiled. âThe tal proposal stated the project required $ 1,000,000,000. I am doing my work according to the companyâs policy The remaining $ 2,000,000,000 in the companyâs account is meant for the petrochemical project. Hence, I canât release the funds to you, Young Master Jones Tapologizeâ
Danielâs 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 companyâs 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.
âYoung Master Jones, please donât put us in a difficult position Mdm Jones who is not willing to approve your fund request. I cannot do anything for you,â said the Chief Financial Officer Daniel understood. The company didnât 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, âYoung Master Jones, several investors turned down my request without even considering it. Mdm.
Jones must have contacted them.â Graham was disappointed. âIâll figure out another way and contact other investors. Ms. Daugherty assigned me for this mission, and I will do what I can.â
Danielâs 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.
âMr. Tissot, Iâll gather the investment funds with you,â said Daniel in a low voice. âIâm the young master of the Jones family. The investors might be more willing if I am present. Wait for me for thirty minutes, I -â
Before Daniel finished his words, his phone vibrated. âMr. Tissot, please wait for a moment. Adina is calling me.â Daniel took in a deep breath and answered her call. âAdina, how are you?â he pretended to be cheerful.
âIâm much better now, but Duke refuses to let me work,â she said. âHowâs the progress of the project?â
âIâve received $1,000,000,000 from the company as the project fund. We can start the construction work for the foundation of aquatic activities,â said Daniel calmly. âI am meeting up with Mr. Tissot later, and Iâll report to you about other updates tonight.â Adina narrowed her eyes. â$1,000,000,000 only?â
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.
âWhy did the company approve only $1,000,000,000 for the resort project?â
