Chapter 845 The Press Conference Failure
Ronnie was also angry. "For the past two months, haven't you been keeping Lawrence under tight control? Didn't you notice he was making such big moves behind your back?"
Rock really hadn't noticed!
Because Lawrence usually either appeared to be pestering Winnie or slacking off!
He deeply regretted his earlier decisions.
"Alright, let's announce the product quickly. We've almost suppressed the public opinion on the news networks. We've also silenced those questioning voices." Rock just wanted to stabilize the hard-won profitable situation for the Harrington Group.
Ronnie picked up the product manual, stepped onto the stage, and began presenting their product to the big screen.
Suddenly, the screen changed. The interface of the Peterson Group's product was replaced by a live news broadcast, displaying the words "Summit Holdings."
The man standing at the podium at the Summit Holdings press conference left Rock and Mars stunned!
"Jeremy?" Mars took two steps back in shock!
He hadn't forgotten that he had hired a group of hitmen to corner Jeremy at a seaside factory. Jeremy's men were all killed, and Mars had shot Jeremy and thrown him into the sea.
How could Jeremy suddenly reappear?
Mars's face turned pale, as if he had seen a ghost!
Rock also looked at him in disbelief, his lips tightly pressed together. "Mr. Martin, didn't you say Jeremy was dead?"
"He's been missing for over two months; he must be dead!" Mars's expression showed a hint of panic, his gloomy eyes fixed on the big screen. The title "Summit Holdings" jolted him awake. "What does Jeremy's appearance mean now? Summit Holdings, could it be that he...?"
Before he could finish, Jeremy's charming and sinister voice echoed from the Summit Holdings press conference on the big screen. "Hello everyone, I heard there were rumors about Summit Holdings in the business world last night. Everyone is curious about who the owner of Summit Holdings is."
"I also heard that the Peterson Group and the Harrington Group have been thoroughly investigating me. Since they're so curious, I might as well make a grand appearance!"
"Yes, I am the president of Summit Holdings, and I sold the most advanced aerospace technology to the Rodriguez Group. Here is the contract I signed with Mr. Rodriguez, now displayed for everyone to see!"
His calm voice slowly faded.
But Ronnie and the others felt as if they had been struck.
The Peterson Group's product launch had completely turned into Jeremy's show.
The reporters invited by the Peterson Group were all stunned. Someone recognized Jeremy and exclaimed, "I know Jeremy! He used to work at the Rodriguez Group, a trusted subordinate of Lawrence. Two months ago, it was rumored that he sold the Rodriguez Group's chip data and then disappeared. How did he suddenly become the president of Summit Holdings?"
"I also remember that Mr. DeRoss and Lawrence were good friends. Now Mr. DeRoss has started a company and introduced the most advanced technology to Lawrence?"
"How did Mr. DeRoss come back to life and gain control of the most advanced technology? What's going on?"
The reporters immediately started discussing.
And these were exactly the questions Ronnie and Rock were thinking about.
Jeremy being alive was one thing!
But Jeremy signing new technology to Lawrence? Rock wasn't stupid; he had suspected last night that this whole thing might be Lawrence's scheme. Now, he was increasingly convinced that this was a trap set by Lawrence for him and Ronnie.
After all, Jeremy was Lawrence's most loyal friend.
But where did Jeremy get the aerospace technology?
Rock's bloodshot eyes darted around.
And on the big screen, Jeremy seemed to anticipate that the people on the other side of the camera wouldn't understand.
His sharp eyes glinted coldly under his glasses, and he flashed a sinister smile, raising his phone and reading, "Since this is a live broadcast, a netizen asked what my relationship with Adam, the chairman of NexaCore Group, is."
"He said it's quite a coincidence that both Summit Holdings and NexaCore Group sell aerospace technology. That's a good question. Adam is my uncle."
This statement shocked Rock again. His stiff legs suddenly took a step back.
Ronnie's face changed rapidly, and the veins on his forehead bulged!
He stared at the faint smile on Jeremy's lips.
They all understood at that moment!
Jeremy had helped Lawrence.
Jeremy was Adam's nephew. Jeremy started a company and took NexaCore Group's technology to sign with Lawrence.
At the same time, to stabilize them, Adam also signed a cooperation agreement with them in the name of NexaCore Group.
No wonder the Peterson Group's product was technically inferior to Lawrence's.
This was all a trap.
"Mr. Peterson, we might have been played hard by Lawrence." Rock slammed his fist on the table, shaking the microphone on the table.
The press conference stage was in chaos, and Mars's face was cold, totally stunned.
He couldn't say he wasn't familiar with this kind of situation. A year ago in Lymington, he tried to mess with Lawrence's group and had Darcy steal the chip. But Lawrence held a midnight press conference, making him lose all his money and flee back to Trento City overnight.
Now, Lawrence was using the same tactics against Ronnie!
Only this time, his methods had upgraded. Mars took a deep breath; he had fallen for it again!
The reporters below were buzzing with discussions.
"Look at Mr. Peterson's face; something's off."
"Of course, it's off. The Peterson Group and the Harrington Group's product launch has been hijacked by Jeremy."
"This looks like Summit Holdings is messing with the Peterson Group! An open declaration of war."
"That's not right. Didn't Mr. DeRoss just say he's the nephew of NexaCore Group's Adam? This cooperation between NexaCore Group and the Peterson Group, the Harrington Group, seems very problematic. Do you think it's just Summit Holdings targeting the Peterson Group?"
"You mean Adam from NexaCore Group is also..."
As the reporters discussed, Rock's face turned completely dark.
His eyes changed dramatically, his fists almost crushing, "Mr. Peterson. I can bet that Jeremy couldn't come up with such a big plan. This must be Lawrence's doing! Damn it, Jeremy is Adam's nephew, which means he's with NexaCore Group."
He added, "Lawrence, that damn bastard. Why is he so lucky? Why can he still find people to help him even when he's down and out? I get it now. The cooperation with NexaCore Group was actually controlled by Jeremy. Adam was even acting according to Jeremy's instructions. Adam helped Jeremy to fool us!"
