Chapter 507
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Even though their responses were quick, the shareholders couldnât help but worry.
Their leader, Zachary was a business whiz, who was already running a global business at a young age.
As for Mr. L from Lindberg Corporation, even though he had only started gaining power in recent years, his work ethic was known to be vicious and relentless.
People would tremble in fear when they heard his name because he had been involved in a few shocking incidents in the business world.
Moreover, given their current situation, the Nacht Group was indeed Lindberg Corporationâs biggest rival. These few years when Divine Corporation had just entered the domestic market, and before the company was able to gain stability, Lindberg Corporation had already made their move to go against Divine Corporation.
âMr. Nacht is right. As long as Mr. Nacht is around, thereâs no need for us to be worried.â Johann said reassuringly, âWe have confidence in Mr. Nacht.â
âYes, yes, yes!â Everyone agreed.
âBreakfast has arrived.â At that moment, Lucy and a few of the level 17 waiters brought over some scrumptious breakfast.
âPlease have your breakfast.â Zachary got up and went to the washroom.
After seeing how calm he was, the shareholders felt more reassured.
However, Theo was still curious as he asked Ben tentatively, âMr. Ben, how is our project with Synder Group progressing? Do you have any idea?â
âItâs in progress,â Ben replied with a smile.
He understood what Theo was worried about. Even though Synder Group wasnât as powerful, they were invested in such a huge project with them. If it were to be terminated due to personal reasons, Divine Corporation would also suffer a heavy loss.
Furthermore, if they were to have a falling out with Synder Group, they would possibly join forces with Lindberg Corporation. That would pose a huge threat to Divine Corporation.
Having a business partner might not be a big deal, but once the partner joined the rivalâs side, the consequences could be hefty.
Johann said reassuringly, âDonât worry too much about it, Mr. Murphy. The Blackwoods have been friends with the Nachts for three generations. Furthermore, Mr. Blackwood treats old Mr. Nacht as family. Even if there are any changes in work matters, it will not affect the relationship between the two families.â
âThatâs good then, thatâs good,â Theo nodded his head.
At that moment, Zachary returned from the washroom and had breakfast with the shareholders. Johann started to chat casually with him and told him about the new product development. Recently, he had been working on a new product for infants and was uninspired because he was stuck at the design.
Zachary told Johann to send him the information via email, and he would go over it when he returned home that night.
After the meeting, the few shareholders returned to their work. Zachary went back to his office to go through some documents as well.
Ben prepared him some ice wine and sighed, âAs you had expected, Mr. Murphy was worried about your relationship with Ms. Blackwood and fearful that if the project was interrupted, it would affect the cooperation between the two companies, which might lead to greater consequences.â
Zachary uttered flatly, âFor him to have shown such great concern, it means that heâs taking his work seriously. Is there anything else?â
âNot really.â Ben handed the ice wine over to him, then he asked worriedly, âDo you want me to go and find out more about Lindberg Corporation?â
Zachary smiled and replied, âIâve already heard the news about them when I went to the washroom earlier. Itâs true that Lindberg Corporation is penetrating the domestic market and the first stop is H City.â
Ben was taken aback. âHuh? Are they doing it on purpose? They knew that H City is Divine Corporationâs territory. Are they trying to rob us?â
Zachary responded disdainfully, âThe Brown family is pulling the strings to help them obtain the South sea area. While Hector joined the Brown family, the Browns joined the Lindberg family. In the end, Lindberg Corporation benefits from all of that, so they would certainly go for it.â
âWhy would they want that part of the sea?â Ben couldnât seem to understand.
âThere are many projects that can be developed in that area. Even though huge investments are risky, the returns would be enormous as well.â Zachary continued, âThe reason why I didnât develop the sea area in the first place was because I was thinking of stabilizing other industries before that. My main focus is the technological industry after all.â
Ben furrowed his brows as his face was filled with concern. âThere was a deep feud between the previous generations of the Lindberg family and the Nacht family. Even though the current generations are minding their own businesses, if both families were to go against each other and bring up the past, Iâm worried the situation would be out of control.â
âWe will not attack unless we are attacked. However, if they do attack usâ¦â Zachary closed his eyes and uttered furiously, âI will definitely destroy them!âq
