Chapter 153 Our Opportunity Arrives!
When Ryder uttered these words, the high-level executives present were all taken aback! In fact, they had heard a little about Sarah winning the bid for Maple Real Estate through unofficial channels. It was said that at that time, Sarah, together with the Windsor family and the Johnson family, made a high-stakes bet, and it ended with the Windsor family and the Johnson family suffering a crushing defeat!
Therefore, when Ryder suddenly proposed a bet now, they naturally associated it with that incident! Could it be that there was some trap in it? Or could Ryder really have a way to solve the construction material problem?
For a moment, they were all somewhat hesitant!
But at this moment, Paul coldly snorted and said, "Don't fall for this bastard's trick! Stay calm and analyze carefully. What makes him capable of completing such a large supply of construction materials tomorrow? It's obvious that he's intentionally saying this to make us give up due to the difficulties!"
Hearing this, these executives suddenly realized! Currently, only the Windsor family and the Johnson family, united, could provide such a large amount of construction materials in Houston construction companies! But what relationship did they have with Sarah? An unending enmity!
It's impossible for them to provide construction materials to help SR Group! Therefore, it can be confirmed that Ryder is deliberately provoking them! If they are cautious and refuse to sign the bet, they will only fall into his trap!
Therefore, without further hesitation, they nodded one by one and said, "It's only a bet; why hesitate? If he's bold enough to suggest it, we're bold enough to agree."
A sly glint sparked in Ryder's eyes, unnoticed by the others.
"Very well! The agreement is simple. If I can solve the construction material problem, it proves that I am stronger than all of you. I won't need to say anything more at that time. You'll all leave on your own! Of course, if I can't achieve it, you will be the CEO of the SR Group. SR Group will transfer all of Sarah's shares to you, and as for how much each of you will receive, you can decide for yourselves."
As soon as this statement was made, the executives widened their eyes!
They thought Ryder must have gone insane!
You see, even if SR Group repays all of its debts and eventually goes bankrupt, after reclaiming all fixed assets and investment returns, there would still be at least over 200 million dollars in cash flow!
Such a large sum of money, to be divided among just the six or seven executives!
After working for so many years, they never accumulated this much money through greed and deceit!
This bet agreement must be signed, only a fool would refuse!
Therefore, led by Paul, they immediately decided to sign the bet agreement on the spot!
They were even unwilling to wait for a single minute, quickly summoning the company's legal staff to draft the agreement and sign it right away!
Within ten minutes, everyone had signed!
Paul and the others held the agreement, sitting in their chairs, unable to contain their joy!
Everything was thanks to the foolish husband Sarah had found!
At this moment, a representative from the cooperating construction company spoke up, "We don't care about any changes in your company's ownership. We are only concerned about whether we can complete the handover of the building materials tomorrow as stipulated in the contract! If it's not completed, we will sue and claim compensation!"
Upon hearing this, Ryder impatiently waved his hand and said, "I made it clear just now. We will definitely complete the handover of the building materials tomorrow. If it's not completed, you can go ahead and sue! We won't reduce a penny from the compensation you deserve!"
Saying this, he turned to Paul and asked, "Am I right?"
Paul was still basking in the prospect of obtaining company shares and rising to power
Upon hearing Ryder's words, he put on a very generous expression and said, "Rest assured! After we divide the shares tomorrow, we'll have full control of the company. We will definitely provide the compensation you deserve!"
Paul only had money in mind. After all, once all the company's assets were sold, it would be enough to repay the compensation, leaving over 200 million dollars for them to divide!
As for the employees' potential job loss or unemployment compensation—that was none of their concern.
After receiving Paul's affirmative answer, the representatives from the construction company no longer asked any more questions!
After all, their goal was simply to suppress SR Group and obtain compensation!
Now it seems that once Ryder loses the bet agreement tomorrow, both objectives will naturally be achieved!
So, there's no point in staying here any longer!
One by one, they got up and left without even saying goodbye. They had to hurry back and report to their boss.
After a while, the executives of the company also left.
As they passed by Ryder and Sarah, they deliberately showed mocking expressions!
Paul, in particular, bluntly said, "Mrs. Johnson! This may be the last time I address you like this. Since we have signed the bet agreement, it is legally binding! Tomorrow, there's no turning back!"
Everyone left.
Only Ryder and Sarah remained in the office.
Sarah gritted her teeth and said, "Humph! These guys are really shameless!"
Ryder chuckled and said, "You don't need to get angry too!"
Sarah worriedly asked, "You still haven't told me the detailed plan. Can it really work?"
Ryder looked at Sarah, his expression confident, and said, "Remember! As a woman, you shouldn't question whether your man can do it or not! Because the answer is always 'he can'!"
Sarah rolled her eyes helplessly.
Meanwhile, the Johnson family welcomed an honored guest today.
Elena!
Ever since the Windsor family and the Johnson family established a deep cooperative relationship, Abigail and Elena had become very close!
Especially yesterday at the hospital, the two of them teamed up to mock Sarah viciously!
It was like a victorious queen in battle.
To celebrate, they even went to a nightclub fiercely last night!
Elena placed a packaged box in front of Grandpa Johnson and said, "Grandpa, this is what my father sent. He specially arranged for someone to get fish oil. Please accept it!"
Grandpa Johnson stood up from his chair, and his smile stretched all the wrinkles on his face, "Thank you, you both are very thoughtful!"
As he spoke, he sneaked a glance at the packaging of the Fish Oil!
Its market value was likely no more than $500.
How stingy!
But he still had a smile on his face.
Although the two families had a cooperative relationship, it was clear that the Windsor family was stronger, and they were just followers!
Elena smiled and said, "I came right over to share some good news with you!"
Grandpa Johnson asked, "What news?"
Elena's face was filled with uncontrollable joy as she said, "Reliable sources have confirmed that starting tomorrow, Sarah will no longer be the CEO of the SR Group. Additionally, it can be confirmed that the SR Group won't be able to fulfill all the construction material delivery contracts and can only seek compensation, which will further delay the project. So now, each construction company is in a hurry to find new partners to purchase a large quantity of construction materials. Our opportunity has arrived!"
Grandpa Johnson's eyes brightened, "That's great news! What does your father want?"
Elena replied with a determined look, "My father's advice? Raise the prices."
