Chapter 59 Only selling group tickets!
"What? Pay the toll? Am I hearing correctly?" Henry had question marks filling his mind!
Ryder nodded, "You heard right. If you want to enter the company, you have to pay first!"
Henry felt like he had just heard the most amusing joke in the world, with a dumbfounded expression he looked at Ryder, "Is your brain filled with water or poisoned? I've never heard of having to pay before participating in a bidding cooperation! I truly suspect whether you've gone crazy due to poverty!"
"If you don't want to pay, then get lost. Nobody's forcing you to!" Ryder replied indifferently.
"You..." Henry's chest heaved up and down with anger. It was impossible for them to forcefully enter.
After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! Consider me unlucky. I'll treat it as a donation today. Since it seems like the head of security can't earn much in a month, here, take these $200 and go have fun with prostitutes!"
He took out $200 from his wallet and threw them on the ground for Ryder to pick up.
Ryder didn't even glance at the $200 on the ground, he raised an eyebrow slightly, "Who do you think you're looking down on? Trying to dismiss us with $200? It doesn't match the status and position of the son-in-law of the Windsor family!"
Hearing the term son-in-law, Henry became even more furious. He frowned impatiently and said, "Damn it, just tell us how much money you want without beating around the bush!"
"$100,000 for each person! For six of you, that would be $600,000!" Ryder stated.
"What? $100,000 for each person? Why don't you just go rob a bank?" Henry's jaw dropped in astonishment. He knew that even though he was the son-in-law of the Windsor family, all the money of the Windsor family was controlled by his father-in-law, Lucas.
The money he earned in the company was controlled by his wife, Elena. She only gave him less than $10,000 as pocket money each month.
Under the pretext of controlling a man's mind, she first controlled his wallet.
That's why this son-in-law, who seemed glamorous on the outside, actually lived a tight life. He didn't have much money on hand.
Now, Ryder was asking for $100,000 from each person, and this average price was more expensive than visiting any tourist attraction in the world!
"If you think it's expensive, you can just leave. No one is forcing you to enter!" Ryder offered a solution.
Henry rubbed his throbbing forehead, wishing he could tear Ryder into pieces.
At this moment, Elena stepped forward and threatened Ryder, "Do you know that we came here to participate in your company's bidding cooperation? By blocking us outside and delaying the cooperation, your company will suffer heavy losses. If you cause trouble, each and every one of you will have to resign and go home! Now, get out of the way!"
The security guards glanced at each other and then smirked coldly. They remained unfazed throughout whole situation. And it's all planned by the CEO, with the CEO being the one who asks them for money. There's no way for the security guards to just resign and go home!
Seeing this, Elena stomped the ground angrily in her high heels and exclaimed, "Are you all deaf? If you don't leave right now, believe it or not, I'll slap you!"
"How dare you!!" The head of the security guards walked up to Elena, his expression serious.
As long as Elena misbehaved, they could take the opportunity to teach her a lesson!
Frightened, Elena quickly hid behind someone. She had never encountered such unreasonable and fierce security guards before.
Ryder checked the time on his phone and kindly reminded them, "We only have ten minutes left until the bidding starts. Should we spend the money and make a decision quickly?"
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Johnson, who had been observing the situation, instructed the Johnson family, "Don't just stand there! Let's hurry and go in. If we're late for the bidding, it will leave a bad impression on Maple Real Estate!"
The group of them prepared to enter Maple Real Estate.
However, Ryder stopped them abruptly and said, "Did I say you can go in?"
Andy's eyelid twitched as he asked, "You want money from us too?"
Ryder nodded.
Matthew couldn't hold back his anger anymore and said, "Ryder, have you lost your mind? Participating in the bidding would benefit the entire Johnson family. By accepting money now and preventing us from going in, aren't you neglecting the interests of the Johnson family?"
Ryder sneered coldly, "Don't try to get close to me with false concern! Just a few minutes ago, you all said I'm not part of the Johnson family anymore, and from now on, I have nothing to do with the Johnson family. So what's the connection between your interests and mine? Stop with the pointless talk. I made myself clear, if you want to enter, it's $100,000 per person. Not a penny less!"
The members of the Johnson family felt a bit ashamed. They regretted their words from earlier!
Feeling dissatisfied, Andy pointed at Sarah and asked, "What about her? Are you taking money from her too?"
"My wife can enter whenever she wants, without paying!"
"Aren't you being hypocritical?" Abigail questioned.
"Correct! I am being hypocritical. If you don't like it, come and hit me!"
The people of the Johnson family were so furious that smoke seemed to be coming out of their ears! They couldn't give up on the bidding, but paying to enter pained their hearts! In the end, they could only look to Grandpa Johnson with pleading eyes and ask him to make a decision.
Grandpa Johnson glared at Ryder with deep resentment and said, "Bastard! You've gotten arrogant as soon as you achieve a little success! I admit that I've been taken advantage of this time, but once the Johnson family wins the bidding, let's see how arrogant you can be!"
Then, he turned to Matt and ordered him to pay. Ryder's security guards had already prepared the card swiper.
Matthew felt heartbroken to have lost 500,000 dollars through the card payment. The members who participated in the bid were: Grandpa Johnson, Matthew, Lawrence, Andy, Abigail. They had already spent 500,000 dollars without even winning the bid yet. After the transaction was completed, the Johnson family could enter.
Sarah expressed some concern, "Won't this cause big trouble? What if the higher-ups in your company find out about this?"
Ryder reassured her with a comforting look, "As long as I'm here, everything will be fine. You just focus on the bidding, I'll cheer you on later!"
Sarah nodded and walked into the company with her parents. As for her parents, they collected the money directly and went inside.
Witnessing the Johnson family entering the company Henry started to get anxious. If the Windsor family were late, Maple Real Estate would consider it as giving up the bidding.
Wouldn't that work in favor of the Johnson family? Thinking about this, he could only brave himself and say to Ryder, "You're ruthless! One hundred thousand dollars, that's one hundred thousand dollars. My wife and I will go in, and the rest can wait outside. Is it okay with two hundred thousand dollars?"
"Sorry, since six of you are here, you have to pay for six people because we only sell group tickets, not individual tickets!" Ryder shook his head.
Henry felt dizzy after hearing that. Ryder's way of making money was truly despicable!
Seeing time pass by second by second, they couldn't afford the delay. Even if they were extremely unhappy, they had no choice but to spend more to avoid trouble.
Finally, Elena spoke through gritted teeth to Ryder, "Six hundred thousand dollars! Take it quickly, or when I get my revenge, you won't have a cent to spend!"
She took out her card and swiped six hundred thousand dollars! Ryder let them through. The Windsor Group rushed into the office building. Just one second before they got on the elevator.
Ryder waved his hand at them, smiling and shouting, "Forgot to mention, you'll have to pay again when you leave later. Just a friendly reminder."
The Windsor Group couldn't even utter a word amid their frustration.
