Chapter 285: Kicking Him Out of the Group
"Understood, Noah!"
Sofia quickly responded.
In the private room, the sponsors and the production team exchanged pleasantries for a while longer before the celebration banquet concluded. Everyone then headed outside the restaurant.
Outside, Noah walked to his car, and Skylar followed him.
His Mercedes G350 was parked next to Noah's car.
"Noah, have you considered what I mentioned earlier?" Skylar asked with a smile, not in a hurry to get into his car.
"The Turner Family is interested in my rare metals, but even if I wanted to sell them, I can't," Noah replied. "Most of the rare metals have been made into radiotherapy devices and sold to hospitals for cancer treatment. There's none left."
"Noah, you must be joking."
Skylar shook his head, a glint of determination in his eyes.
"One-third of the medical equipment in Starlight City's hospitals is provided by me. I know the exact number of radiotherapy devices in these hospitals. The production process of these devices is extremely complex; there's no way you could have used up all the rare metals so quickly."
"According to the information provided by the Turner Family, half of the rare metals were sold to the Starlight City war zone. One-quarter was used to make radiotherapy devices, leaving one-quarter unused."
Hearing this, Noah's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Skylar was right. One-quarter of the rare metals remained unused. This was because the Benson Family's influence extended primarily to Oceanbridge City and its surrounding areas. As a result, only a dozen radiotherapy devices had been produced and deployed in the surrounding cities.
Expanding to all major cities in Starlight City faced significant resistance. Deploying a radiotherapy device in a city meant encroaching on the interests of other medical equipment companies, which naturally resisted the Benson Family's devices.
Lily had been working hard to deploy the devices throughout Starlight City, but progress was slow due to the intense pressure. This left one-quarter of the rare metals unused, with no immediate application.
"Skylar seems to have quite the intelligence network."
Noah glanced at Skylar, his gaze turning slightly cold.
"It's not my intelligence network; it's the Turner Family's," Skylar laughed, emphasizing "the Turner Family" with a heavier tone.
Noah understood Skylar's implication. He was using the Turner Family to pressure Noah.
"Noah, that rare metal was worth ten billion. Now, with only one-quarter left, it's worth 2.5 billion. How about this: the Turner Family is willing to pay five billion for the remaining one-quarter," Skylar proposed.
"This deal would be very beneficial for you, Noah. Think about it?"
Noah chuckled coldly. "Skylar, you're quite the schemer. Even with only one-quarter of the rare metal left, if made into radiotherapy devices and deployed in hospitals for cancer treatment, the profits over the next five or ten years would far exceed five billion. By my estimate, the five-year profit would be at least ten billion. So why should I sell the rare metals to you?"
Skylar remained unfazed, smiling lightly.
"Noah, you're right. The profits from one-quarter of the rare metals over five years would be at least ten billion. However, one-third of Starlight City's medical equipment is under my control. I know all the hospital leaders in Starlight City's forty-three districts and have deep cooperation with them. With just one word from me, I guarantee that their hospitals won't accept your radiotherapy devices."
Skylar's eyes were filled with confidence.
"At that point, your one-quarter of rare metals will be useless, rotting in your hands. Even the radiotherapy devices you've already deployed will be returned."
"Your rare metals will become worthless!"
"Noah, I advise you to think carefully. Otherwise, all your previous efforts will be in vain. Those rare metals will rot in your hands, completely useless."
After hearing this, Noah looked at Skylar and spoke calmly.
"Are you threatening me?"
"Yes, a threat!"
Skylar admitted directly, his smile turning cold.
"And it's not just me threatening you; it's the Turner Family of Starlight City."
"If you sell the rare metals to us for five billion, everyone wins. The radiotherapy devices in the surrounding cities will already bring you significant profits. You should be satisfied."
"But if you refuse, then I'm sorry. Don't blame the Turner Family for being ruthless. All the radiotherapy devices in those cities will be returned, turning the rare metals in your hands into worthless scrap. And I guarantee that no hospital in Starlight City will dare to accept your radiotherapy devices."
"You, Noah, will suffer a massive loss! Just producing a single radiotherapy device costs a lot, right?"
After finishing, Skylar looked at Noah with a cold gaze, waiting for his decision.
In his view, Noah wouldn't refuse. Selling the rare metals would benefit both parties. Refusing would mean Noah alone would lose a lot of money, and the rare metals would become useless scrap. Moreover, he would offend the Turner Family.
Skylar believed that anyone with a bit of sense would agree. Naturally, Noah would too.
"No one has ever threatened me like this before."
Noah sighed, waving his hand.
"Noah, what are your orders?"
Nathan immediately walked over.
"He's also one of the sponsors of 'I Am a Tycoon,' right?" Noah glanced at Skylar.
"Yes, Mr. Skylar sponsored one billion for 'I Am a Tycoon,'" Nathan confirmed.
"Kick him out of the group, and we'll cover the one billion from our company's account," Noah said calmly.
"Understood, Noah!"
Nathan took out his phone and immediately removed Skylar from the 'I Am a Tycoon' sponsors' group chat.
Ding!
Skylar's phone chimed with a notification.
He looked at it: "You have been removed from the group chat."
"Noah, you dare..."
Skylar's eyes widened in anger. Noah was blatantly disregarding him and the Turner Family!
"This is just a small lesson."
Noah opened his car door, glancing at Skylar.
"As for selling the rare metals to you, I suggest you go home and sleep. In your dreams, you'll have everything."
"Additionally, you mentioned making me lose everything and turning my rare metals into scrap."
