After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 384

“No.” Hannah said bluntly, “There are three reasons. First, they have started the project and may shift the responsibility of stealing trade secrets to anyone else if they want. Secondly, the bureau has handed the project to Sawyer Group. I’ve read the contract they signed, and it’s not written in the contract that they can break it if there is something wrong with the plan. So it’s impossible for them to end their cooperation in this situation. At most, the bureau could let them redesign their plan, and the project still belongs to them.”

Hearing her words, Miguel’s face clouded.

“Thirdly, I didn’t even think about taking on this project. Admittedly, the project is a collaboration with the Municipal Bureau of Land Management, and it would be an advantage for our company’s development if we build a good connection with it. But there are also other ways to do it. We only need to help them in doing a good deed, then the heads of the bureau will think they owe us a big favor.”

“What do you mean?” Miguel was confused.

“I’m not gonna tell it to you for the time being, because I’m not one hundred percent sure about it yet. Now I’m gonna talk about why I’m not gonna take this project. Actually, the project isn’t profitable that much. I’ve calculated and discovered our benefit can only be at most one percent because of our low price, and we have to wait three to five years for the collection of payment. It means we invest $10 billion and only earn $100 million after three to five years. Although it’s not a small amount of money, it’s not as big as we think. And this project requires us to utilize a huge capital chain, so it’s not such a pity to its failure from the point of efficiency.”

What Hannah said made sense, and that made Miguel realize that this project wasn’t that valuable.

In this case, Cooper Group lost its chance to cooperate with the governments, which made a difference to its public image. Besides, there was a point of pride.

But now if Wayne was found guilty of stealing the trade secrets for Sawyer Group, the pride thing won’t be so important. Anyway, Sawyer Group won the project by stealing their plan. And it might become free publicity for Cooper Group.

As for the last point Hannah mentioned, Miguel would trust her since she had said she had a solution.

Thinking over it, Miguel relieved with a sigh and said, “Hannah, you always release me from anxiety. I have to say I was very upset these days because of the project’s failure. I really didn’t expect Sawyer Group would be able to snatch the project from us. We already have had tensions with them, and it annoyed me to see them showing off. You didn’t know during the week you put your plan into action, I met Lee Sawyer once. He was so proud of himself that I still want to punch in his face now.”

Hannah smiled because she felt that her dad got much more funnier than before. She used to make trouble for her father in her last life, making him look years older than he was. In this life, she was determined to let Miguel take an easy and free life.

“I can’t wait to see Lee in disgrace!” Miguel said with excitement.

Noticing Miguel’s change from a serious, hard-nosed chairman, she felt somehow delighted.

“Just wait for it nicely. I have something to do and I have to go.” Said Hannah.

“OK.” Miguel still didn’t forget to say, “Although work is important, don’t tire yourself.”

“Got it.”

“Hold on.” Miguel suddenly asked, “You went to see Oscar these days. Is he all right?”

He didn’t forget to care about his son-in-law, which made Hannah smile more at the thought of Oscar. And that was seen by Miguel. He felt lucky to consent to her marriage to Oscar before. And he couldn’t have dared even to imagine that she was going to marry Charles at the beginning.

“I think he’s okay. He’s getting along all right in his new job, except the living environment isn’t very good.”

“Good. It’ll be beneficial for us if Oscar can work for the government. Or we will have a hard time if Charles becomes a big one.”
