Chapter 758
Nina nodded, “Helios has to thank Mr. Goldmann for this. Helios has been working in the entertainment industry, so he’s inexperienced when it comes to business. If it hadn’t been for Mr.
Goldmann, he would’ve fallen for the scam. The other party wanted Helios to invest $ 7,500,000. However, Helios wouldn’t get any profit at the beginning, and even the contract was shady.”
Sipping on her fruit juice, Maisie said calmly, “The hot spring tourism in Winston Island is a big piece of pie, and it attracts many businessmen to come here and invest in it. Those well-seasoned businessmen wouldn’t jump straight into it. They would act according to the circumstances since it’s a big investment. However, Helios is different. As you said, he’s inexperienced in doing business, and I guess that’s why they target him.”
Since they had the audacity to demand Helios to put $7,500,000 in their hands as a n investor, it showed that they were going to rip off Helios.
If Helios really had invested in it, although he would be one of the shareholders, those people would have divided all the profit into the early stages and then given the rest to Helios. In the end, Helios wouldn’t be able to get much from this investment, and in the worst-case scenario, he wouldn’t even get his capital back.
Gnashing her teeth, Nina commented,” How can these businessmen be so evil? What are those developers doing? Are they not going to do something about it?”
Maisie chuckled and said, “After all,
Winston Island is a solitary island. It’s a business circle developed under the same developer. They lease their stores to people who do business, and all they are interested in is money. They don’t give a d* mn about this.”
Winston Island was not a large island. It was about the size of the downtown area in Bassburgh. The same developer owned all of the hot spring hotels and restaurants, so the profits were naturally in the developer’s pocket.
The hot spring tourism here was divided into low and high seasons, with business being slow in the summer but gradually picking up in the fall and being most robust in the winter.
Many businessmen valued the opportunity brought forth by the peak season on Winston Island, so they all came here to
invest. Those conscienceless businessmen knew that veterans in the business world would not fall for their trap.
Besides, the developer was the owner of the place. The more the businessmen earned, the more money they would get. They cared nothing but money, so they decided to turn a blind eye to the businessmen’s shady practices.
What’s more, Nolan and Helios might be someone of high status in Bassburgh, but Winston Island was not their territory.
Even if the Goldmanns and the Bouchers were able to get everything their way in Bassburgh, their influences did not extend to Winston Island.
