Winner Takes All novel Chapter 9

In the rented house Mr. Ward talked to Jack seriously, "Young master. Acquiring DT seems reckless. That overpriced contract may lead to a bankruptcy."

After receiving Jack’s call, Mr. Ward contacted DT and finished the acquisition with the price three times higher than its market value.

But the situation of the company was kind of headache.

What struck Mr. Ward most was not the financial loss incurred by the acquisition, but Jack’s reputation. The 130 million was only for Young master's practice, which was no big deal.

Young master certainly had to go through such kind of practice if he wanted to go back to the family with his mother.

As long as the business gained profit momentum in the future, he could stop all the rumors from the family.

But the situation turned out to be terrible because of the contract.

It was only a matter of time for DT’s bankruptcy.

It wasn't because Jack couldn't bear the loss of money. After all, he had 1 billion in his Bauhinia bank card given by the old master. Those 130 million didn't account for much.

Mr. Ward was just afraid Jack would hear the gossip from the family—Young master ruined his first business. It would then be difficult for him to have a place in the family.

Jack didn't deny, "You are right, Mr. Ward. I was reckless indeed. But I don’t think I will lose money.”

Mr. Ward said earnestly, "The reason why old master assigns me to help young master is that he wants you to gain glorious achievements. Then old master will grandly and openly transfer the family business to you in the future. He will fairly take you and your mother back to the family. If the acquisition finally leads to a bankrupt, however, all the family will..."

Jack rapped the table with a sneer, "Who says I'll lose money?"

Mr. Ward was startled.

"Doesn't he want me to do something? So I acquired DT to tell him I can make it.

"He has abandoned my mother and me for 20 years. What's the big deal if I lose some of his money?" Jack added with a confident smile on his face and resentment in his eyes.

Mr. Ward got a little anxious, "It's not a matter of money!"

"I didn't expect the West Shantytowns project was 30 million higher than its original value indeed. But since I became the deputy general manager within 3 years, I am fully convinced that I can go through this."

With keen eyes Jack was incredibly confident, which amazed Mr. Ward with a frown. Jack continued, "Tell him don't worry. As a bastard scolded over 20 years, I’ve got here step by step. I'll show my achievements and excellence to him."

"And I'll make him regret for getting us dumped. I'll make my mom proud too!"

Jack spoke with force and deliberation.

Though Mr. Ward looked quite calm, he could read the deep resentment from Jack's words.

Mr. Ward was about to speak but got shocked.

"I won’t let it go bankrupt. Instead, it's gonna be constantly prosperous. Please do me a favor, Mr. Ward. I am convinced to turn the corner within 3 days."

Previously, when facing a dilemma, he could do nothing but accept the failure as he had no idea what to do.

But now, he’d been totally different.

This was also the reason why Jack got shocked for only a second but not desperate when knowing Ben had signed the contract at such an outrageous cost.

He was sure to turn the corner!

"Is it really profitable, young master?" Mr. Ward became excited as if he saw the dawn of hope.

"What can I do for you, young master? I'll definitely ready to help you!" Mr. Ward added.

Ten minutes later, Mr. Ward left delightedly and made a call.

"Old master, we seem to underestimate young master. He makes remarkable progress. The acquisition is going to be a great success as young master planned," Mr. Ward said excitedly.
