Getting $10 Trillion Out Of Nowhere-Chapter 846 - : Different Paths, Different Plans!

Chapter 846: Different Paths, Different Plans!

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

For a company, no matter what project it was, it was all about profit.

If a project couldn’t be profitable, then there was no need to do it.

After all, investing in a project not only required a lot of manpower and material resources, but it also wasted a lot of time.

If he couldn’t get any benefits in the end, there was no need to do it.

However, Connor actually said that he had to win the Metro Line 9 project even if he had to lose money. This really shocked the shareholders in the company.

No one had expected that Connor, the newly appointed Chairman, would announce such a ridiculous decision at his first shareholders’ meeting.

What happened outside just now made the shareholders present feel that Connor was not as useless as the rumors said.

However, when Connor made this decision, the shareholders present realized that he was really an idiot—anyone with even half a brain would never make such a decision!

Even Quenna, who was standing behind Connor, had a puzzled look on her face. Although Quenna did not know much about business, she knew that business was all about making money.

If it didn’t make money and might even make a loss, then what was the use of winning this project?

One of the shareholders hesitated for a moment before reminding Connor softly, “Mr. McDonald, the situation of our company is like this. Some time ago, we just won an oil field development project. Now, most of our resources are focused on that project. As for this Metro Line 9 project, although the profits are indeed considerable, there is still a big gap compared to the oil field project…”

Although these shareholders did not have many shares in their hands, the company’s profits would still affect their interests.

Therefore, Connor’s method of winning the project at this time would not only hurt Connor’s interests, but also the interests of other shareholders. Therefore, they would definitely not agree to Connor’s actions.

“Mr. McDonald, the bidding for the Metro Line 9 project was released two months ago. Many big families in Porthampton have already made preparations for this project. If we compete for this project now, the manpower and material resources we need may be several times more than two months ago. We may not even be able to win this project to begin with, ” another shareholder added.

“That’s right, Mr. McDonald. You have to think it over carefully. Once we really take action on this project, those families in Porthampton will definitely think that our Empire World Corporation will have gone back on its word, ” Clyde added.

For a moment, it was as if everyone present was against Connor’s decision. They simply could not understand why Connor would make such a decision.

Thomas had been squinting at Connor. Before Connor made this decision, he did not discuss this matter with him, so he did not understand why Connor would do this.

At this moment, Connor looked at the shareholders present and asked expressionlessly, “Do you have any other opinions?”

“Mr. McDonald, I think we are putting all our energy into the oil field project. If we compete for the subway project, it might affect the oil field, so I don’t think this is a good choice!”

“That’s right, Mr. McDonald, this choice isn’t wise!” the other shareholders said.

After Connor heard these people’s words, he nodded lightly and said expressionlessly, “Well, I think you might have misunderstood me. I called this shareholders’ meeting today not to discuss this matter with you, but to inform you!”

“Wh…”

When everyone heard Connor’s words, they instantly went into an uproar!

Everyone turned their heads to look at Connor’s position, their faces filled with disbelief.

No one would have thought that Connor would be so overbearing as to call a meeting only to inform them of his decision.

“I’ve already said just now that I want to win this project at all costs. Even if I have to give up the benefits or even lose money, I want to win this project. Do you understand?” Connor said expressionlessly.

One of the shareholders finally couldn’t hold it in anymore and shouted excitedly, “Mr. McDonald, your idea is too ridiculous. Isn’t the purpose of starting a company to make money? What’s your purpose in doing this?”

“I don’t have any motives. I just want to do this. Do you have any objections?”

Connor looked at the shareholder and asked softly.

“Of course I have an opinion. I don’t agree with your decision!”

The shareholder replied excitedly.

“That’s right, I don’t agree either…”

“Mr. McDonald, what you’re doing is indeed a little inappropriate…”

The other shareholders also shouted.

Meanwhile, Thomas sat quietly on the spot and did not say a word from the beginning to the end.

“It seems that none of you agree with my decision, right?” Connor asked the shareholders with a smile.

“That’s right, we don’t agree!”

After hesitating for a moment, Clyde shouted at Connor in a low voice.

“What’s the point of not agreeing?”

Connor sneered and then said indifferently, “You might have forgotten that I, Connor McDonald, am the boss of the Empire World Corporation. I have 75% of the shares of this group, President Morgan has 15%, and the shares in your hands add up to only 10%. Tell me, do you have the right to disagree now?”

When the shareholders present heard Connor’s words, they were all dumbfounded.

They had never thought that Connor would actually be so overbearing in doing things. He did not give them any room for negotiation at all.

Clyde hesitated for a moment and shouted excitedly at Thomas, “President Morgan, please persuade Mr. McDonald. You can’t let him continue to make a fuss like this!”

“Mr. McDonald is right. He is the boss of this company. No matter what decision Mr. McDonald makes, we have no right to object!” Thomas said expressionlessly.

“This…”

When Clyde heard Thomas’s words, he was instantly dumbfounded. He stood rooted to the ground, not knowing what to do.

“This is simply nonsense!” A middle-aged man looked at Connor and shouted, then said expressionlessly, “Since Mr. McDonald insists on doing this, then we can’t work together. I might as well just quit!”

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, everyone present was stunned and turned to look at him.
