Chapter 434 Generous to Future Father-in-law
"Mr. Taylor, the group has received a large amount of liquid funds, a total of two billion dollars, but it wasn't invested by any corporation, rather by an individual." Leon's assistant reported.
Leon noticed the funds, and the rapid rise in stock prices also proved that someone was secretly investing The Taylor Group. However, he couldn't find any information about the other party. The other party didn't maliciously buy The Taylor Group's stocks, nor did they take the opportunity to suppress any of The Taylor Group's subsidiaries.
Who was helping him?
"I know, but the other party transferred the funds anonymously from a foreign account. We don't know yet if they are friend or foe. These are turbulent times, and we must be cautious." Leon adjusted his glasses, his eyes fixed on the changing curves on the screen. A strange look flashed in his eyes.
If the other party wanted to cooperate with The Taylor Group, why not openly invest?
Did the other party not want a return from The Taylor Group, or did they have other motives?
The assistant nodded, "Okay, I will continue to monitor. However, our new project has been withdrawn by Blue Sky International Group. The project is about to start, and we are very tight on funds. Mr. Taylor, should we look for a new partner?"
The assistant's question was something both he and Leon were well aware of. If the Blue Sky International Group withdrew from the project, other groups would not easily take over, leaving The Taylor Group without funds for the project.
Kevin was ruthless.
Leon took a deep breath, "It's hard to find a new partner for the project right now, but we can't abandon it. If necessary, we can offer a ten percent profit share. If we really give up, The Taylor Group will lose a lot of money..."
His voice grew heavier as he spoke, almost unable to continue.
As a company dependent on Blue Sky International Group's resources for growth, The Taylor Group faced partnership challenges following their corporate separation.
The assistant nodded, and the atmosphere in the office was very oppressive. Everyone felt the urgency of the impending storm.
Leon now had some doubts about Kevin's true intentions. If he was sincere with Scarlett, why did he immediately turn his attention to The Taylor Group after she rejected his proposal?
Did he misjudge Kevin's character?
Leon, who had met countless people, prided himself on his keen judgment, but in the end, he couldn't see through Kevin's disguise.
At this moment, a call came through to the secretary's desk. "Mr. Taylor, hello. Has your group found a partner for the project? Our group is very interested in your new project and would like to meet with you."
Leon looked suspiciously at his assistant, then said, "Who are you?"
"I am the head of MBK Group's Emporcia branch. Are you interested in cooperating with our group?"
MBK Group?
Leon suddenly opened his dim eyes wide. A spark of hope reignited in his eyes.
This was an internationally renowned company! Although its headquarters were in Libertya, and most of its assets were based there, its subsidiaries had extended their business to dozens of countries. Being able to cooperate with MBK Group was a gold opportunity for many companies!
"Yes, of course." Leon was excited.
Then, The Taylor Group was saved!
Blue Sky International Group, President's Office.
"Mr. King, we were a step too late. The Taylor Group's stock price has already rebounded, and the current increase has surpassed The Taylor Group's historical high. It seems The Taylor Group had a backup plan; they still have reserve funds."
Kevin sneered disdainfully, glancing at his assistant, "Reserve funds? Don't I know how much The Taylor Group has? The liquid funds in Leon's hands don't exceed one billion dollars. Such a large amount of funds must have been injected from someone. As for who..."
Kevin played with a gold pen, his blue eyes narrowing, "I think there's only one person it could be."
The assistant looked at Kevin in confusion and cautiously asked, "Who do you think it is?"
Kevin's gaze swept over the assistant, and he snorted, "Of course, it's Sebastian Kingsley from MBK Group. He has now openly helped The Taylor Group."
The assistant said, "So, it seems difficult for us to move against The Taylor Group. MBK Group's influence is not to be underestimated. If it's a financial battle, we don't seem to have much advantage."
Kevin waved dismissively, "This time, we're not fighting a financial battle with MBK Group. Sebastian probably doesn't know yet. When he finds out, he'll be in trouble."
The assistant didn't understand but didn't dare to ask further.
Kevin continued, "Sebastian won't sit idly by regarding The Taylor Group's new project."
The assistant nodded, "That's right. Since he wants to invest in The Taylor Group, he won't ignore the project. So, The Taylor Group will rise from the ashes this time? With MBK Group as a backer, they can be fearless in the future."
Kevin's smile grew more inscrutable, "Really? Maybe he's just adding a gravedigger to help him die faster."
Libertya
George invited Brooklyn to his office, smiling kindly at her. He had been preparing his opening remarks for a long time but still hadn't said anything.
Seeing George's troubled expression, Brooklyn couldn't help but laugh. "Is there something you find difficult to say, Dr. Clark? It's okay, just go ahead."
Usually, George only looked this uneasy when he was about to fire someone. Could it be that Brooklyn was getting fired?
She thought it was absolutely impossible.
George pointed to a teacup and smiled politely. "Scarlett, have some tea. I'm old and prefer tea, while you young people usually like coffee. I don't know if you like tea."
Brooklyn picked up the teacup, which had a blue exterior and a clean, milky white interior. The tea was light in color and had a fresh aroma. At home, Leon liked to drink tea, so she was not unfamiliar with it.
Taking a sip, Brooklyn smiled slightly. "Thank you for the tea, Dr. Clark. The tea leaves are excellent, not too strong or too weak. Now, can you tell me what happened?"
George nervously rubbed his hands, still smiling. "Well, I received resignation letters from your two assistants. They both plan to leave Libertya, they're leaving on Friday, just a few days from now. I want to know, are you also planning to leave Aucester Hospital?"
Brooklyn's suspicions were finally confirmed. So this was what he was worried about?
She replied, "No, they are leaving Aucester Hospital for personal reasons that make it inconvenient for them to stay in Libertya. It has nothing to do with me. I will continue to stay at Aucester Hospital. The project has just started, and I won't go back on my word."
"Really! Oh, that's wonderful!" George suddenly stood up, grabbing Brooklyn's hands and shaking them excitedly. "I thought you were going to leave for Averlake with them. I've been worried sick all day! If I had known, I would have asked you in first thing this morning. Well, I knew I could count on you!"
George's enthusiastic speech made Brooklyn a bit embarrassed. "Dr. Clark, there's one more thing I hope you can agree to."
"Go ahead, as long as you stay at Aucester Hospital, I'll agree to anything! I could even give you my position as dean!"
Brooklyn frowned slightly. Was George being too excited?
"That's not necessary. It's just that since my two assistants are leaving Libertya, I need to find two equally capable assistants to replace them. You know how difficult this project is. So I want to publicly recruit new assistants and hope you can help." she said.
"That's easy! Whether they're from inside Aucester Hospital or outside, as long as you approve, I'll support you. As for the salary, you decide. Just give me the paperwork, and I'll sign it without hesitation."
Brooklyn nodded and smiled. "Thank you, Dr. Clark."
As she left the dean's office, Brooklyn could still hear George's joyful laughter inside. She couldn't help but shake her head. George was indeed an interesting character at Aucester Hospital.
MBK
Whitney knocked and entered the office, placing a report on the desk. "Mr. Kingsley, this is the market research report just sent by the marketing department. It focuses on large shopping malls, the Royal Club, and high-end consumer areas. Please take a look."
Sebastian opened the report. The data was detailed, but it was clear that there was nothing new compared to previous reports. Every time, they presented seemingly flawless reports.
Sebastian set the document aside, a sharp glint in his eyes. "Whitney, our group's market is no longer limited to high-end services. We need to explore mid-range and even low-end markets. Take this back and have the marketing department redo it."
Whitney nodded. "Yes, sir."
Sebastian thought of something and added, "This time, expand the scope of the research. Give the marketing department a week to redo the report. If it's still like this, it looks like we'll need a new general manager for the marketing department!"
"Yes, sir!"
After Whitney left the office, Sebastian dialed a number on his private phone.
Quinn, who was being tormented by the work from the marketing department, straightened up immediately when he saw Sebastian's number.
"Sebastian, what's up? I haven't finished the statistics you asked for, and the deadline hasn't arrived yet, right?"
Sebastian laughed. "It seems you're not very happy in the finance department?"
"No, no! I'm very happy! Extremely happy! Over the moon!" Quinn took a deep breath. Even if he wasn't happy, he had to pretend to be!
Sebastian rubbed his brow with a long finger, smiling indulgently. "Alright, I know what you're thinking. How about this: the marketing department has a research project. Didn't you want to get out and stretch your legs? I'll arrange for you to join the marketing department for the research. How about that?"
Hearing that he could go out and have some fun, Quinn was, of course, very willing!
"Really! When? Where? I'm ready to go anytime!" Quinn jumped up, pushing his chair back ten feet, only for it to bounce back against the wall.
"There are several places you can choose from: supermarkets, parks, plazas, cinemas, universities..."
Universities?
"Universities! I just graduated not long ago, so definitely universities! Which university?" Quinn asked.
"Aucester Medical University."
