Winner Takes All novel Chapter 8

Jack sat on the chair with a cold grin.

It wasn’t easy to acquire a company.

Furthermore, in these couple of years, the company had secured strong profits under his management.

But, as long as the money was enough, everything could be bought. All it took was to pump into it!

He had a billion in his Bauhinia bank card and it was ample to acquire DT.

But it would be more expedient for Mr. Ward to do the acquisition.

Ben answered the call and laughed gleefully, “Hey, Aiden, when are you coming to the company? I’m ready to welcome you and report the project progress. I also helped the company get rid of a trouble maker.”

Since he had fired Jack, he could make Jack take the blame for the overpriced contract.

After all, the fired Jack was ‘dead’ to DT and if Ben was to put the blame on a ‘dead man’, how could a ‘dead man’ speak up for himself?

However, at the next second, Ben’s smile turned into terror.

“What? The company is sold?”

The deafening shrill reverberated through the office.

The workers outside were all stunned.

DT had gained increasing profits these couple of years. If the boss was wise enough, he would not sell this cash cow!

Immediately everyone seemed to be sober and remembered what Jack had just said.

They gazed at Jack in disbelief.

Ben looked pale and said in a raspy voice, “How… how do you make it?”

“The company is mine now.”

Jack stood up slowly and laughed proudly. What surprised him was how fast Mr. Ward completed the task.

However, Aiden was well aware that it took more than just money to acquire the company valued at a hundred million in a matter of minutes.

“Impossible. This is impossible.”

Ben was flushed with shame and spoke on the phone like a mad man, “Aiden, why do you sell the company so suddenly? Don’t you discuss with me? Our company is profitable, and can soon be listed, you…”

Bang!

The last sliver of Ben’s hope evaporated when the call ended.

Jack laughed and said, “You’re jobless now. Even if God comes, you will not be able to retain your job!”

With a tone of disdain, Jack used Ben’s exact words against him.

Ben trembled furiously with bloodshot eyes as if he had just been slayed by Jack.

He couldn’t figure out how this weak scapegoat made it.

Ben could sense that the workers were rejoicing at his misfortune.

Shame, fury, dismay… all sorts of feelings were raging within.

Suddenly, the contract on the table caught his attention and he laughed heartily.

“Hahaha… acquire the company? Jack, you are so incredible that you just bought a ‘hot potato’. How amazing!”

Ben pointed at the contract and continued with his arrogant laughter, “You must have seen this contract on the West Shantytowns. I overpriced it by 30 million! Since you buy out DT, you have to perform this contract. This hot potato is enough to bankrupt your company!”

Just a minute before, he was upset for such a huge mistake when he was drunk. But now that Jack beat him in front of so many people, this overpriced contract gave him an unexpected victory and he revenge.

Although DT was valued at a hundred million, the contract overestimated by 30 million was undoubtedly a disaster for DT.

Jack was practically taking over his mistake by acquiring DT at this moment. This contract would lead to a bankruptcy.

“30 million?”

Jack shouted with a dark face and narrowed eyes, “You are truly a fool!”

Whoa…

The crowds’ faces were distorted by astonishment.
