Chapter 95 Making Headlines for You!
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's mouths couldn't help but widen in shock.
Did we hear something wrong?
Sarah was speechless.
After remaining stunned for more than ten seconds, she finally reacted and asked, puzzled, "What are you talking about?"
David patiently explained, "You see, the Smith Group has been engaged in business loans with Houston Bank. Due to recent events, the company suffered significant losses, leaving it with more debt than assets. As a result, the company had to mortgage itself to the bank, which subsequently auctioned it off.
"Recently, it was bought by a mysterious person for 300 million dollars, who entrusted me to transfer all the Smith Group assets to you, Miss Johnson. With our team of banking and financial market experts, we've prepared the asset transfer agreement. Once you sign it, the Smith Group will be yours!"
This explanation immediately caused an uproar!
The Smith Group is going to belong to Sarah?
How is that possible?
It's simply unrealistic!
These were the thoughts that crossed everyone's minds at first.
Naturally, they wanted to question its authenticity!
But unfortunately, these words were spoken by David himself!
Given his noble status, how could he possibly lie?
So it must be true!
Thinking of this, they all vaguely realized that something not so favorable was about to happen...
At this moment, Ryder appeared to be the most relaxed person present.
After all, he was the one who arranged everything!
Since the incident with the Smith Group, he had been working on acquiring their assets.
Back then, in the Houston construction materials market, both the Windsor Group and the Johnson family had their eyes fixed on the bidding for Maple Real Estate!
No one paid attention to the subsequent delivery of the Smith Group's assets.
Thus, Ryder easily took advantage of the situation.
A company that was originally valued at over a billion dollars was bought by him for only 300 million dollars.
In Sarah's mind, there was a buzzing noise.
She was shocked!
She was about to take over the entire Smith Group?
Was this a dream?
She discreetly pinched herself!
It hurt a little, so it was real!
But who was this mysterious person who bought the Smith Group and then gifted it to her?
Sarah couldn't figure out who this person was.
She didn't even think about Ryder!
At this moment, Karen excitedly reminded her, "What are you thinking? Hurry up and sign the agreement! Once you sign it, you'll become a wealthy boss!"
"But..." Sarah hesitated.
In her opinion, this agreement wasn't something she had fought for herself, but rather a gift from a mysterious person!
Signing without knowing the other party's identity made her feel inexplicably uneasy!
But Karen didn't care about all that; she wanted to grab the pen and sign on Sarah's behalf. Swallowing her saliva, she said, "What are you still thinking about? If you don't sign soon, our family will be finished!"
Ernest was also excited, urging, "Sarah, sign!"
Being pressured so strongly by her parents, Sarah made up her mind and stopped thinking too much!
She signed the agreement!
"Congratulations, madam. From now on, you're the sole leader of the Smith Group, with 100% ownership!" David reached out his hand and congratulated Sarah.
Sarah, still feeling dizzy, quickly stood up and shook hands with David. "Thank you! You've worked hard!"
Ryder, who had been watching the whole scene for a long time, looked at the people from the Johnson family and the Windsor Group and smiled. "Everyone, now my wife owns all the assets of the Smith Group. Is there anything else you want to say about the gambling agreement?"
At this moment, everyone from the Johnson family and the Windsor Group was sitting in their chairs.
Their gazes were blank, sweat dripping from their foreheads.
This sudden turn of events had left them speechless!
Are they willing to accept it?
Of course not!
Andy stood up, supporting himself with his hands on the desk, nervously swallowing his saliva.
He launched his question. "Even if Sarah has all the assets of the Smith Group, can she prove that she has the construction materials necessary for Maple Real Estate?"
As soon as these words came out, the others seemed to have caught onto something, staring at Ryder and Sarah with questioning eyes!
This was their last chance to turn the tables!
David glanced at them with a cold gaze, flipping to the section in the transfer terms of the Smith Group's assets that contained the asset details, and said to everyone, "Look here!"
Within this section were the detailed assets of the Smith Group, including the quantity details of construction materials.
Prior to this, the Smith Group had done thorough research in order to win the bid for Maple Real Estate!
They had long prepared the necessary construction materials for Maple Real Estate.
Once the materials were stocked up, they were waiting to use it as a trump card at the bidding meeting. Unfortunately, before the bidding even started, the Smith family had already gone bankrupt!
The stocked construction materials were untouched and remained intact!
Now, they rightfully belonged to Sarah!
With this supporting data, everyone fell silent.
The atmosphere in the conference room became extremely tense.
Sophia stood up and said, "Since Sarah has already finalized the terms of the gambling agreement, on behalf of Maple Real Estate, I will fulfill the agreement's content. This bidding will be a collaboration with Sarah's responsible company!"
Upon hearing this, Sarah's excited face turned red as she nodded repeatedly!
Andy slumped back into his chair, muttering, "It's over... We're done for!"
Over the past few days, he had signed cooperation agreements with many suppliers in order to secure the bid.
The total value of those contracts exceeded one hundred million dollars!
If they had won the bid, they would have easily made this money back.
But now, it meant that all the contracts he had signed in the past few days were as good as worthless!
They couldn't even sell the construction materials they had in their hands.
What was the point of buying so many raw materials?
Thinking of breaching the contract?
Then be prepared to be sued by the suppliers!
The rest of the Johnson family were also at a loss for words.
The Windsor Group looked even more grim.
They had expected the Smith Group to fail and the Windsor family to smoothly secure the bid!
Henry had even promised Lucas that they would win the bid!
Because of this, the Windsor Group had even made advanced adjustments to their future company development strategy!
They were just waiting for the bidding contract to be signed so they could start working immediately!
But now, with things turning out like this, he was afraid that when he went back, he would definitely be skinned alive and have his tendons pulled by his hot-tempered father-in-law!
At this moment, Ryder stood up and stretched.
With a harmless smile toward Andy and Henry, he said, "Don't forget about the naked run at the steel factory tomorrow. Don't worry, I'll definitely help you make the headlines in Houston."
