Chapter 68 - The Big Shot Is Coming?
Chapter 68: The Big Shot Is Coming?
After he heard Graham’s words, the middle-aged man’s expression also darkened.
His name was Jacob and he was the chairman of Freeman Co. as well as the proprietor of National Flower Company, which he personally bought from Keith.
“What are you doing here? Are you trying to ruin things for me?” Jacob questioned in a sullen voice.
After seeing Jacob’s appearance, Brianne was furious. If he hadn’t sabotaged things behind the scenes, how could the National Flower Company have fallen into his hands?
But Brianne also knew that if she wanted to get back National Flower Company, it would be very difficult to do so without Jacob’s consent.
Therefore, no matter how angry Brianne was, she could only suppress the anger inside.
“Bruce…” Brianne looked at Bruce and was going to advise him not to be impulsive, but at this time, Bruce was smiling indifferently with a calm and composed look on his face.
“You are holding an auction openly, and I am coming to bid openly. Can’t I do that?” Bruce said with a breezy look on his face.
Jacob narrowed his eyes. At this time, the father and son got up from the ground and glared at Bruce with a resentful expression on their faces.
“Mr. Freeman, don’t listen to this kid’s nonsense. How can a brat who has long been evicted from the Taylor family and a brat who just got out of jail be qualified to come to the auction?
They are obviously here to cause trouble. I think that we should call the police and let them arrest them.” Graham gritted his teeth and said.
But then, Jacob gave him a hard look and said, “You want to call the police now? Do you want the auction to end?
Besides, a big shot from Hugo Group will be here later. If he sees this, will he still be willing to buy the company?
What a fool!”
Facing Jacob’s rebuke, Graham looked ashen, and he had a stifled look on his face.
“Mr. Freeman, do you want to let them go on like this?” At this time, Fabian also couldn’t help but say.
Jacob rolled his eyes and then looked at Bruce with a sullen expression as he said, “It’s not impossible to let you in, but if you dare to make trouble inside.
Hmph! I promise that you will die a horrible death!”
Faced with Jacob’s threat, Bruce acted like he didn’t care and directly took Brianne’s hand while walking into the auction.
Jacob, who saw himself being ignored, had a dirty look on his face.
“Mr. Freeman, look at their attitude. They simply don’t take you seriously. Such people should be taught a good lesson. How can we still let them…” The father and son said indignantly.
However, just as they were halfway through their sentence, Jacob glared at them and said, “That’s enough! Stop talking. The Hugo Group will be here soon.
When the Hugo Group buys the National Flower Company, as the company’s executives, you won’t have to worry about the benefits.
You will have plenty of time to fix him later, so there is no need to hurry.”
After hearing these words, the father and son were in a good mood.
Yes, the Hugo Group, which was at the top of Porta’s business ladder, would be here later.
The Hugo Group was the only company in Porta that had the right to be called the apex!
Moreover, recently there were rumors that the Hugo Group had gotten a big shot from the Ministry of War.
This big shot possessed tremendous power, and Hugo Group would probably be able to reach a new level by riding on the coattails of this big shot!
In this case, once Hugo Group acquired National Flower Company, then National Flower Company could be a subsidiary of Hugo Group and could rise to the top along with it.
The National Flower Company’s executives would be able to enjoy the benefits too.
They would all be able to ride on its coattails!
Not to mention the two of them, even the Taylor family would have to bow down to them.
“Mr. Freeman is very smart to see the problem at a glance. We almost ruined the important thing.” Graham said obsequiously.
“Mr. Freeman, I heard that Hugo Group not only wants to acquire National Flower Company, but also wants to incorporate the Freeman family into the company. It seems that in the future, we will have to rely more on Mr. Freeman” Fabian also took the opportunity to say.
Jacob smiled and said pretentiously, “Actually, I was just lucky this time.
I didn’t expect the Hugo Group to come last night, and they said they were interested in buying Freeman Co.
It seems that in the future, our relationship will have to change. We will no longer be the boss and subordinate, but we will all be Hugo Group’s employees. Hahaha…”
The father and son laughed along with Jacob with a flattering look on their faces.
They know that although Jacob said their relationship would no longer be that of boss and subordinate, Jacob would still be their direct superior.
Moreover, Jacob was also therefore able to establish a relationship with Hugo Group. This was much more promising than before.
Therefore, the father and son made plans to not only curry favor with Jacob in the future, but also to work harder than before.
And just when the three of them were feeling complacent, a Rolls Royce black car suddenly appeared at the entrance of the auction.
The eyes of the three people instantly dilated and immediately, Jacob personally led Graham and his son to welcome them warmly.
Immediately afterwards, Fabian personally acted as a waiter and carefully opened the car door to welcome the person inside.
The next moment, a middle-aged man with a sharp appearance and a trace of arrogance slowly stepped down from the car.
“Hello Mr. Samson, my name is Jacob. Thank you for coming. This is simply a great honor for our auction. Welcome, welcome…”
Jacob had a pleasing expression on his face, but the middle-aged man didn’t even look at him, and showed a hint of disgust at the hand he offered.
This person’s name was Vincent, a relative of Hugo’s family, as well as a manager of Hugo Group’s business department. The task of acquiring the National Flower Company was given to him by Hugo.
Originally, Hugo also wanted to come personally, but Bruce thought it was too conspicuous, so he asked him to send someone over.
When the acquisition of National Flower Company was completed, he would find a way to transfer it to Brianne’s name.
But, even if it was just Hugo Group’s business manager, Vincent’s identity was enough to make Jacob put on an ingratiating attitude.
Not to mention Graham, but Fabian was also acting extremely obsequious.
Unfortunately, Vincent didn’t seem to think much of them. Not to mention them, but he didn’t even think much of National Flower Company.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Hugo personally ordered the acquisition of such a small company, he wouldn’t have come to make the trip himself, because he felt that it was beneath his status.
“Has the auction started yet?” Vincent asked with some impatience.
Jacob replied hastily and flatteringly, “Right away, whenever Mr. Samson says it will start.”
Vincent nodded indifferently, and then walked directly into the auction site.
At this moment, there were already a dozen buyers who came to bid for National Flower Company.
However, as soon as they saw Vincent, they immediately dropped what they were doing and came up in a hurry to curry favor.
Vincent didn’t say anything though, but seemed to enjoy this feeling of being flattered.
But at this time, Vincent found that, among so many people, there were two people sitting there unmoved, as if they didn’t take him seriously at all.
These two people were Bruce as well as Brianne.
When Vincent saw this, his expression instantly became sullen and he looked at Jacob as he asked with dissatisfaction, “Who are those two people over there? Are they also here for the auction?”
