“Or perhaps, Atticus and my name will act as a guarantee.”
Fabian said insipidly, “Mr. Dormer, are you worried that I’ll scam you?”
Mr. Dormer was shocked when he heard that. He quickly smiled and said, “I didn’t mean that. Mr. Atticus and Mr. Morrison are leading this fund so I’m sure it’ll be fine.”
“Some people are more cowardly, just like his father. He only knows how to cower in fear and doesn’t dare to take the opportunity that is standing right in front of him. That is why he is destined to run small businesses selling building materials.” A voice could be heard suddenly.
The person who said that was Mr. Hasting, who was just discharged from the hospital after his surgery. He still looked a little pale and weak.
A lot of people were smiling mysteriously when they heard Mr. Hasting roasting Mr. Dormer.
The circle in Harbor City was not that big and something minor could also cause a huge stir.
Mr. Dormer and Mr. Hasting’s families were business partners. However, after a failed collaboration, they were no longer as closed as before.
They also could not be in the same room as each other. This was a very public secret now.
When Mr. Dormer heard that, his face fell and he said coldly, “Mr. Hasting, please watch your tongue.”
With a scoff, Mr. Hasting turned to Fabian and said, “Mr. Atticus, you and Mr. Morrison are giving everyone a chance to make money, and this is a good thing. The people out there can’t even get it even if they beg for it. In case anyone wants to talk bad about me, I, Drew Hasting, will put in 60 million Harbor Dollars first.”
Fabian’s mood immediately improved.
“Very good, Mr. Hasting. Let’s talk privately after the party.”
This sentence caused Drew’s face to blush slightly from excitement. It seemed that he was cured of all sickness.
Meanwhile, the rest of them were envious and jealous. They were secretly feeling remorseful that they were too late.
Even though they were all members of Empire Meet, they were categorized into different classes. For example, Drew and Mr. Dormer were in the middle class, while the casually dressed man from before was slightly below them.
Of course, Fabian was standing at the top of the pyramid.
Fabian’s statement clearly proved that even if Drew lost his money, it would be worth it.
So, after he managed to stir up the emotions of the crowd, everyone started to put in money furiously.
After that, the fund that was founded a little more than ten minutes ago now contained about ten billion Harbor Dollars.
Some of the children of families in the financial industry had more than enough money than they would ever need. Therefore, to prove themselves to Morrison, they invested a few hundred million in one go.
After all, this was a proper investment, so they would not be stingy with their money.
When Fabian and Morrison saw that the fund was increasing, they looked at each other and noticed a satisfied glow in each others’ eyes.
“Alright, everyone. If you want to invest, there will be people contacting you soon. You’ll just have to cooperate with them when it happens. Now, I have to announce something else.”
Fabian said once again.
The noisy room quieted down immediately. Everyone was looking at Fabian with wide eyes and waiting for him to tell them the next thing.
“Empire Meet never had such a huge event since it was founded. Back then, I aspired to build a platform for you guys to interact and build your connections. However, I still can’t stop people from coming to provoke us!”
“So now, I plan to gather all of the power in Empire Meet to destroy these who are provoking us!”
“This is to teach a lesson to the people who dare to challenge Empire Meet, but at the same time, we’re also announcing to everyone that Empire Meet is not a place of ecstasy where hedonists come to have fun. Rather, it is a genuine commercial power that can’t be neglected.”
