Chapter 841 Complacency
Winnie retorted, "You all opposed an outsider getting involved in the operations of the Blanchet Group back then, so why the change now? Is it just because he brought in ten billion dollars?"
Rodolfo said, "Ten billion dollars shows Mr. Harrington's sincerity. The fact that he can come up with such a large sum at once also indicates the promising future of the Harrington Group, this emerging enterprise."
"Ms. Anderson, times have changed. Even though you and Lawrence later clarified things, the Blanchet Group's reputation was still tarnished by you. The stock is down now. At this point, having Mr. Harrington invest is beneficial for the long-term development of the Blanchet Group."
Winnie turned pale. "Do you realize that the Blanchet Group might end up becoming Rock's in the future? My father was so good to you all. Are you really going to betray him?"
Rodolfo was silent for a moment, then smiled. "Don't make it sound so harsh. Wasn't it your father who agreed to let Mr. Harrington into the Blanchet Group? Besides, we shareholders ultimately care about who can bring the most profit to the Blanchet Group."
"If Mr. Harrington hadn't invested ten billion dollars, the Serene Haven Hotel wouldn't have been able to start anytime soon. Lately, it's been disrupted by your scandals."
Rock smirked, staring at Winnie. "Winnie, I know you're not happy about me becoming the manager of the Blanchet Group. You made it difficult for me to invest, but I did it anyway. So, can you stop causing trouble now?"
He added, "I genuinely want to help the Blanchet Group. At this point, you're still concerned about your position, which is a bit narrow-minded."
"Handing over the Blanchet Group to you is considered broad-minded?" Winnie sneered coldly.
"Winnie, stop causing trouble," Ishara spoke up, her lips curling into a smile. "Haven't you understood yet? Mr. Jones and Mr. Potts want the Serene Haven Hotel project to start immediately. Once the project begins, we can attract significant investments, and the company's market value will double!"
"Now, Mr. Harrington has invested ten billion dollars, but what do you have? Company decisions have always been made by those who are capable. Mr. Harrington brought in capital, and the shareholders favor him. I suggest you step aside obediently!"
"Ishara, you are heartless," Olivia, standing behind Winnie, couldn't help but curse.
"Olivia, who are you to cause trouble?" Ishara slammed the table and stood up. "Winnie, you brought people to disrupt the meeting, so don't blame me for being rude. Security, remove the irrelevant people!"
"Wait," Winnie signaled to Olivia, looking resolute. "Rock, I told you, as long as I'm in the Blanchet Group, you can forget about starting the hotel project. If you want to take the investment money back, dream on."
Rock narrowed his eyes coldly. He had anticipated that the high-profile launch of the project would attract investments from major companies.
Once his ten billion dollars were invested, the returns would be two to three times more.
Unfortunately, Winnie wasn't stupid; she realized it immediately.
But so what? She had already lost her chance.
The more she obstructed him, the more it proved that the Serene Haven Hotel project was indeed profitable.
Rock adjusted his suit and stood up abruptly, his voice cold. "Winnie, if you keep causing trouble, don't blame me for being ruthless. Security."
"Olivia!" Winnie shouted.
Olivia clicked a button on the computer!
The next second, all the screens in the conference room, including the laptops, went black, controlled by a program.
Rock's meticulously prepared project launch meeting was ruined.
His face turned red as he rushed towards Winnie, grabbing her collar and lowering his voice. "You bitch, do you think this little trick can stop me from starting the project? Or is this all you have left? Fine, I'll show you. I'll start the construction today!"
Winnie's mind was elated, but her face turned pale. "Yes, I have no other way, but I'll keep causing you trouble, making sure you don't get the Blanchet Group."
"Let's see if you can still enter the Blanchet Group tomorrow!" Rock released her without a trace.
Winnie squinted secretly, and Olivia came over to support her. The two exchanged a subtle glance.
Half a month later.
Due to Winnie's constant conflicts with Rock in the Blanchet Group, hindering the progress of the Serene Haven Hotel project, Rock incited some shareholders to order Winnie to take a temporary leave, secretly suspending her position.
Rock and Ishara openly took charge of the Blanchet Group.
The Serene Haven Hotel project started hastily, with all of Rock's money invested. He was confident, knowing that once the project began, it would attract significant investments.
As he continued to raise funds, he could use the project's profits to completely take over the Blanchet Group's other assets and become the chairman of the Blanchet Group.
He was very happy recently, especially since his investment in NexaCore Group's technology was about to start generating profits tomorrow.
In the morning, Mars called, saying that the Peterson Group planned to hold a product launch with the Harrington Group for the new technology.
Rock had used Winnie's marriage to successfully take over the Blanchet Group, a tactic Ronnie hadn't anticipated.
Ronnie was starting to fear him, but at the same time, Rock was becoming more famous in Trento City's circles, and Ronnie wanted to benefit from it.
Otherwise, why would he want to hold a product launch with Rock?
Of course, Mars wouldn't say this over the phone. Mars laughed, "Mr. Harrington, Ronnie thinks you've been doing well lately and appreciates your methods more and more. He often says that it wasn't in vain that he helped you in the past."
"However, now that you've taken over the Blanchet Group and grown stronger, you should give Ronnie a gift, right? In the future, when dividing the Blanchet Group, don't forget him."
"Of course, we're not talking about that now. We're holding the launch together to promote the NexaCore Group collaboration. Also, Ronnie said that after the launch tomorrow, he'll deal with the Rodriguez Group."
"Previously, Lawrence was struggling and refused to sell the Rodriguez Group. Everyone thought he had some plan. But he was busy chasing after Winnie, your still-un-divorced wife. It's ridiculous."
"NexaCore Group gave the collaboration to me and you, and Lawrence got nothing. I think he's given up."
"Tomorrow, the Peterson Group will crush the Rodriguez Group and firmly establish ourselves as the top family in Veridiania. From then on, the Rodriguez Family will be removed from the elite families of Trento City!"
Rock listened indifferently. He couldn't wait for Ronnie to deal with Lawrence and make the Rodriguez Family disappear from Trento City!
Ronnie's vision was indeed narrow. He had to destroy the Rodriguez Group to make the major families in Veridiania fear his power.
The Rodriguez Group's fate tomorrow would be the Peterson Group's fate in the future.
Rock believed that he was the ultimate winner.
He sneered inwardly, but Rock's face was full of smiles. "From the moment NexaCore Group didn't give the collaboration to Lawrence, he was destined to be useless!"
