Chapter 843 Rock Panicked
He suddenly squinted his eyes and clicked on the news link. His face changed dramatically.
How... how was this possible?
Was he seeing things?
"Mars!" Rock's voice trembled as he shouted in rage, completely incredulous.
Ten minutes later.
Ronnie personally arrived at the club. His appearance made Rock believe that the Rodriguez Group's new product launch was real and the news was true.
Ronnie, with a grim face, splashed water to wake up the unconscious Mars.
The three of them went to a quiet room in the club.
Mars, still unaware, asked, "Ronnie, what happened?"
Ronnie threw his phone at Mars's head. He touched the corner of his mouth, his face turning pale, and sneered coldly, "I had you keep an eye on Lawrence these days. What did you find out?"
"Explain to me why Lawrence got NexaCore Group's most advanced aerospace technology. Wasn't the Rodriguez Group eliminated by NexaCore Group? Didn't he not sign any cooperation with NexaCore Group?"
"So where did he get the new technology from? What the hell is going on? Can any of you explain?"
Back then, it was Mars who represented the Peterson Group to sign with NexaCore Group. Rock also went personally.
Rock frowned, his phone constantly ringing with calls from subordinates of the Harrington Group.
Something big had happened, and everyone was very anxious.
But he found the situation too suspicious, "Mr. Peterson, NexaCore Group promised to sell the most advanced technology only to us, for us to develop products. It's clearly written in the contract that NexaCore Group wouldn't secretly sell the technology to the Rodriguez Group."
"Moreover, even if NexaCore Group was willing to sell, how could Lawrence afford it with his current strength? Back then, Mr. Peterson, you invested $200 billion, and the Harrington Group invested $100 billion. That's an astronomical amount in the industry!"
"If it weren't for the fact that NexaCore Group had the support of the president, we wouldn't have rashly invested so much money in aerospace and military."
Mars finally sobered up, "Call NexaCore Group! Adam is a cunning man. Ronnie, ask him if he violated the contract and secretly cooperated with Lawrence."
Ronnie glanced at Rock.
Rock, feeling chaotic, decided to make the call.
But when he called NexaCore Group, no one answered.
Mars slammed the table and stood up, "Adam, relying on his position as chairman of NexaCore Group, is blatantly playing us?"
"Doesn't he realize that even if NexaCore Group is powerful, the Peterson Group is now the number one company in Trento City? Does Adam dare to offend us?"
"Fool." Ronnie glanced at the useless Mars.
He frowned in thought, then shook his head after a while, "Adam, as the chairman of NexaCore Group, wouldn't openly sell the technology to Lawrence. Besides, at the previous banquet, I observed carefully, and he had no personal relationship with Lawrence."
"That's why I felt safe letting you sign the contract. Moreover, what reason would he have to risk offending both the Peterson Group and the Harrington Group to help Lawrence?"
This was also something Rock couldn't understand.
Adam didn't seem like someone who would help Lawrence; they had no connection.
But Lawrence's overnight launch of the most advanced aerospace product was a fact!
His launch event caused a huge stir in the industry, and now all major heavy industry companies in Veridiania were paying attention to the Rodriguez Group.
The launch event lasted only an hour, but it was as if the Rodriguez Group had suddenly come back to life in the business world.
Rock felt an unprecedented sense of panic.
His face turned pale as he tried to clear his thoughts, "Mr. Peterson, immediately send someone to investigate whether Lawrence's launch event is fake or if he really has the materials. Although he claims his materials have been used in the latest rocket, has it been verified?"
"We in business understand the power of publicity. With the current state of public opinion, it's hard to say if Lawrence, being so cunning, is trying to make a last-ditch effort by releasing fake news to gain attention for the Rodriguez Group, knowing our product is launching tomorrow."
Ronnie gave him a cold look and sneered, "Rock, do you think I rushed here overnight for no reason? Don't underestimate Lawrence. The new material from the Rodriguez Group is indeed used in the latest rocket."
"He wouldn't dare lie about such a thing, as it would face presidential sanctions! It's very tricky now. I've checked, and his material is more advanced than ours."
"Otherwise, why would his material be used in rockets while our efforts have gone unnoticed by government departments?"
Ronnie continued, "The most troublesome issue is that the Peterson Group and the Harrington Group, using the cooperation with NexaCore Group, have signed a large number of orders from companies worldwide, including foreign arms dealers, who all want to make a fortune in the aerospace field."
"We've taken their deposits, and now our product is in trouble, with a more advanced product on the market. How do we explain this to those companies? Can tomorrow's product launch still go on as planned?"
Rock gritted his teeth. Lawrence had launched his product in the middle of the night at a critical moment!
They had no idea when he started secretly acquiring the technology and producing the product.
He launched first and monopolized the latest rocket launch. With this reputation, was there still room for the Peterson Group and the Harrington Group's products to be released?
Would those companies that signed contracts with them still be interested in their products?
"This is a trap!" Rock vaguely realized.
"What trap? A trap set by Lawrence for us?" Ronnie took a deep drag on his cigarette, squinted his eyes, and shook his head arrogantly, "I don't believe he has the strength to set a trap for us now."
"There's no other explanation."
Rock's face darkened, and he felt increasingly cold. He had clashed with Lawrence several times and had even been trampled by him before. He knew Lawrence's mind was sharp, and his methods were not something ordinary people could match.
He shivered and slammed his fist on the table, "Although I don't know how he connected with Adam, you can see that NexaCore Group isn't answering our calls! This alone shows something is fishy."
"Moreover, look closely at the Rodriguez Group's launch event, Lawrence said his partner company isn't NexaCore Group but Summit Holdings. Investigate this company immediately!"
"Summit Holdings provided Lawrence with the most advanced technology. The mystery lies within!"
Ronnie's sharp eyes turned to Mars, "Investigate, and find out about Summit Holdings as quickly as possible!"
Mars asked, "Ronnie, what about our product launch tomorrow? We've made a big publicity effort, and now Lawrence has preempted us in the middle of the night."
Ronnie checked the time; it was only a few hours until dawn.
He gritted his teeth and laughed viciously, "Control the public opinion, and block any dissenting voices! Make sure the Rodriguez Group's launch event has no channels to broadcast!"
