Chapter 190 Striking Back with Great Measures
Inside the city center's largest hotel, Rodrigo prepared a lavish feast to entertain Norman, Jack, and Dorian. These individuals were the leaders of the CC Alliance, especially the Walsh family.
"Mr. Dorian, representing the Walsh family, embodies nobility. Aside from them, Manuel is also here, making a total of five individuals.
"Gentlemen, just now my assistant reported that eighteen more companies voluntarily requested to join CC Alliance this morning. With this, CC Alliance now holds over 60% of the market share in New York. I believe this number will continue to rise in the near future."
Rodrigo raised his glass, joyfully announcing this outcome. They fought this battle so beautifully! They pushed the Power Group; who were dominating the business; down, and he felt incredibly satisfied, having swept away the gloom of the past few days.
"Antony is going to suffer this time. We caught them off guard, and many of their previous partners are now turning to us. It won't be long before no one wants to collaborate with the Power Group anymore, and they'll have to face bankruptcy and closure! Haha."
Jack also stood up, laughing. Just as the Harrison family and the Watson family formed an alliance, they created CC Alliance together. It was pure joy upon joy. Their careers were about to reach new heights.
"It's all thanks to Manuel's cunning strategies! He ambushed those business partners of the Power Group during the wedding, catching Antony off guard. I bet he's currently in a panic. Haha." Norman also laughed happily. Once the Power Group went bankrupt, he could repurchase their shares of the Garcia Group at a very low price, and they wouldn't have to worry about the Power Group controlling them anymore.
"I only had small tricks. It's nothing compared to the elegance of Lord Dorian. It's his influence that allowed us to proceed so smoothly." Manuel was modest, giving all the credit to Dorian. After all, the Walsh family was a well-known prestigious family nationwide, while the Watson family only had some fame in New York. How could they not please him?
"The success we achieved today is the result of everyone's collaborative efforts. Without each and every one of you, we wouldn't have achieved such great results. Let's raise our glasses together and celebrate." Dorian didn't dare to take credit, either. He was a prominent figure, with a sharp and handsome appearance, exuding confidence and calmness.
The group of people toasted and enjoyed their conversation.
Meanwhile, in the office of the Chairman of the Power Group, Antony paced back and forth. They were caught off guard by the Watson family, and it had thrown them into an unprecedented crisis.
"Half of our partners have all gone to CC Alliance, no longer cooperating with us. This has caused Power Group tremendous losses," Antony said grimly.
To make matters worse; one of their real estate managers rushed in and urgently reported to Antony, "More than half of the building material suppliers we collaborate with for our real estate company have gone to CC Alliance. Now we have no construction materials available for our construction sites."
Just as the words fell, several other divisional managers burst into the chairman's office. All of them executives overseeing various industries under the company, each wearing unhappy expressions and looking anxious.
"More than half of the suppliers for our department stores have completely halted their supply. What are we going to do?"
"Many partners in the hotel industry have also canceled their cooperation, especially those travel companies. More than half of the hotel reservations have been transferred to the hotels under CC Alliance!"
...
As more and more managers and executives gathered in the office to bring industry updates, and each piece of news was bad news.
"I understand. You can all leave now," Antony managed to say, suppressing his anger.
The Watson family, the Harrison family, and even the Garcia family dared to conspire against him, ambushing him under the guise of a wedding. This made Antony angrier than ever before. He had been in New York for over thirty years and this was the first time he had been so thoroughly outsmarted! They were pushing The Power Group to the brink of destruction.
"What are you all standing there for? Why aren't you getting out? Are my words no longer effective?" Antony couldn't help but roar at the executives and professional managers who were still lingering in place.
Seeing Antony truly furious, they dared not stay any longer and quickly exited the chairman's office, fearing for their lives.
"Now that the Walsh family from Canada has joined forces with those three families, it will be much harder to turn the tide!" Antony clenched his fist and pounded it on the desk. If it was just those three families, he had confidence in fighting back, but with the addition of the Walsh family from Canada, his confidence was diminished.
Just when Antony was at a loss, someone knocked on the door to his office.
"Didn't I tell you not to disturb me? Get out!" Antony bellowed without even looking back, his irritability showing.
However, the door opened anyway, and then a familiar voice came through.
"Antony, you're panicking over a minor difficulty. How can you continue working with me in the future?" William walked in calmly.
Upon hearing William's voice, Antony quickly turned his body around.
His entire demeanor changed and Antony immediately became respectful upon seeing William.
"Sir, why have you come!" While speaking, Antony hurriedly locked the office door to prevent anyone else from entering.
"The Power Group had such a big incident, and if I didn't come, I was afraid you wouldn't be able to handle it alone." William casually sat down on the sofa in the office.
In fact, the crisis of The Power Group was caused by William himself, but Antony was unaware and inadvertently implicated The Power Group as well.
"Sir, these three influential families suddenly caused such trouble for me, which indeed caught me off guard. However, I am not easily overthrown. It's just that now, The Walsh family from Canada has suddenly appeared, making things difficult for me."
While Antony spoke, he made a cup of tea for William and placed it in front of him before continuing, "I don't pay much attention to these three families from New York. The key issue is that The Walsh family's influence and prestige surpass ours nationwide, which puts me at a disadvantage."
"The Walsh family is manageable. I just want to seize this opportunity and establish our own business alliance to confront their CC Alliance head-on." William smiled faintly. With this move, he aimed to crush the CC Alliance formed by the three influential families.
"Establish a new business alliance and confront them head-on?" Antony frowned, considering the feasibility of this matter.
"Yes, how is your relationship with Mr. Parker?" William asked with a meaningful look after taking a sip of tea.
"My relationship with Mr. Parker is naturally good..." Antony seemed to have guessed William's intention.
"I want you to organize a party in Mr. Parker's name, and the venue will be the YJ Club in the South district. We will publicly announce that the heir of The Browns' Property will also attend." William smiled. Within this statement, he included three major forces.
The first is Mr. Parker, representing the highest authority in New York. The second is the YJ Club, representing wealth in New York. The third is the scion of The Browns' Property, representing the situation of this party and the future prospects of joining the new business alliance.
In addition, The Power Group's own assets were also a major advantage, especially with Antony holding the market opening rights in the North district.
With these advantages alone, they could easily defeat The Walsh family and the CC Alliance.
Greatly diminishing the benefits offered by the CC Alliance, established jointly by the Watson family and the Harrison family.
"Sir, do you intend to reveal your identity?" Antony became excited when he thought about it. If William personally intervened, it would signify the Brown's Property joining, and the Brown family's power and influence in the country far exceeded that of the Walsh family. This would completely suppress the latter.
"Yes, I will personally intervene, but I will wear a mask!" William didn't want to truly expose his face. He just wanted to use the identity of the Brown family heir to put pressure on the arrogant Walsh family.
"Alright, I understand. I will ensure that this reception is well-organized! As for Mr. Parker, I will personally persuade and invite him!" Antony couldn't contain his joy. To bring down Antony, the Watson family and the Harrison family alone were not enough.
