Inside the meeting room of the Marquis group.
“The companies we invested are doing great jobs. Though the profit now is not significant, we expect...”
“For last month, we were ranked tenth in the whole province...”
“According to preliminary statistics, the amounts of the companies we can purchase at the next stage are plenty. Including Dongyue, Xinxi, Hongyuan...”
After the executives finished reporting, they all turned to Colin Ward.
“Excellent!” Colin opened his eyes sleepily and yawned, “You’re all doing great. Just stick to your plan!”
“...”
Nina White was almost speechless because she was expecting Colin could be more serious about the business.
But what was he doing?
Did he treat the reports as lullabies?
While Colin just left for his office after finishing his summarizing, leaving the executives in the meeting room.
Buzz buzz...
He picked up the phone, and it was Doris Lee, “Colin! Shit happened!”
Later, Colin hung up and called Nina at once, “My office, now!”
She came.
“Did someone mentioned Xinxi during the report?” He asked immediately.
“Yes, Xinxi is a company that got potentials, but because of the lack of cash flow, the management can no longer be maintained. Lately, we’re discussing the acquisition with them.”
Hearing the explanation of Nina, Colin was lost in his thoughts.
Doris told him that the new project in Lishi company met a lot of troubles recently, and at the beginning, Doris could still handle them easily, but still, shit happened.
It was Xinxi.
For no reason, Xinxi started to compete with Lishi on price, and moreover they hired people to spread rumors online. They said the materials Lishi used were poisonous, and that almost destroyed the reputation of Lishi. Not to mention the sales.
Colin found it strange.
Xinxi itself was facing a crisis, but instead of solving problems, they launched a frontal attack on Lishi.
“Alright, thanks for your explanation.” Colin left Nina in his office and got to find Doris for details at once.
He did not care about the living or death of Lishi, but Doris Lee was now in charge of the project he invested in. If it went down, Doris would be accused by the Lee family, and let alone the one billion dollars he invested.
Colin was in a hurry and did not pay much attention to the road, while just after getting out of the building, he bumped into a young man.
He apologized at once, “I’m s...”
“Use your fucking eyes, Bro! Look at my suit! It creased because of you blind motherfucker!”
Hearing the swear, Colin frowned and looked to the young man. He was wearing a nice suit and got a regular appearance, with an annoying, arrogant attitude.
The young man glared at Colin with disdainful eyes, especially when he saw the cheap clothes Colin wore, and he turned to the securities at the door, “Hey! That’s how you do your jobs? You are working for a huge company! A peasant like this fellow over here was not supposed to go in!”
Yet the securities did not do anything after his clamor, which made him angrier.
