Victory in Life
Chapter 259
What's the Zion family shipyard worth?
The 800-ton Gantry crane they imported from Germany alone was worth 400 million.
There were also the most advanced computer numerical control machines of the time, each of which had a starting price of 100 million.
Members of the Zion family understood that even if the machines were dismantled and sold as scrap metal, they would be worth more than 50 million.
That was why Jasper's offer of 50 million made them angry.
"However, do they have a choice?"
"No!"
The Zion family was a mess both inside and outside.
As they leave the house, they are confronted with people who demand the Zion family to pay off their debts. When they return home, everyone in the family is calculating how they can get the largest amount of money
Most importantly, they understood one thing.
No one other than Jasper Laine would dare to buy their shipyard.
It doesn't matter if there's a huge benefit or gain if you don't live to spend it!
Jasper understands that. That's why he let Mr. Lambert drop by with a check for 50 million.
If it is less, there will not be enough money to share among family members. They won't take the bait.
Jasper wanted to claim the shipyard without causing any casualties. If the Zion family decided to take the risk and did not accept the offer, it would not be in keeping with the consistent approach.
Jasper to maximize profits.
This amount of money was enough to make the Zion family stop and think.
It would hurt them if they agreed.
However, it would hurt them even more if they refused!
Harvey's younger brother, Herman Zion, was the first to speak.
As soon as he spoke, his other relatives turned to glare at him.
The expression on Harvey's face wavered before he shouted, "Are you stupid or crazy? We inherited this shipyard from Old Man Zion. This is our family business and is worth over a billion dollars! How could you agree to sell it for 50 million?!"
When Harvey finished screaming, he saw his other relatives but realized they did not look angry. Instead, the expressions on their faces looked cunning.
Harvey's heart ached when he got a bad feeling.
"Oldest Brother, I think Second Brother has a point."
Another woman spoke.
Harvey glared at him, his eyes resembling the eyes of an angry tiger. The woman avoided her gaze but continued to say stubbornly, "Look at the situation we are in right now. There was no way the Zion family would survive any longer in Brac Province. Fuck the family business."
"You may have made a lot over the years, but we only got a fraction of that money. We have families and children to feed."
A murmur of approval rang out as the woman spoke.
"That's fine. Oldest Brother, you have to sell it."
"What's the point of staying stubborn? You can even earn 50 million if you agree to sell it to Mr. Laine. Do you think anyone else in Brac Province would dare to buy our shipyard?"
The more Harvey listened to them, the more angry he became. He roared, "If no one in Brac Province wants it, I will go to Greene City and Fortune Province. As long as there is sea, there will be shipyards. Does Jasper Laine think he can dominate the world?!"
"Dad," said Mark, "People are demanding that we return our debts. They're surrounding the outside now. There's no way you can get out. They won't give us time to raise money."
The angry expression on Harvey's face melted as his face turned pale.
Mr. Lambert cleaned his shirt as he looked at the expressions on the Zion family members. His respect for Jasper grew even more.
How scary!
The calculation of Mr. Laine when dealing with humans is terrifying.
