Quavon was too careless. He had not noticed all this time.
Clayton smiled. “I know that you probably don’t want to see me, so I switched my first-class ticket to business-class to avoid meeting you.”
Quavon snorted coldIy. “You’re really doing this for that woman. Fine, I want to see how long you can keep this up!”
Quavon lowered his head and looked down at his watch. He spoke in a calm voice.
“Chairman Sloan, I’ve calculated the accounts for you. As of now, Sloan Corporation hasn’t made any response to the stock market. Their stocks have been falling continuously and are about to fall out of line. You’ll have to pay $10 million in sunk costs for every minute of delay.”
Clayton described casually. He then smiled and offered.
“By the way, this field is my specialty, so if you need help, please contact my assistant to make an appointment for you. Although I’ll still refuse you, I don’t mind giving you a hint.”
Quavon was surprised by Clayton’s words. His expression became extremely gloomy.
“Clayton, tell me the truth. Were you behind this?”
Clayton said, “Why do you have to make it sound so bad? You touched my woman, so of course, I have to protect her.”
Quavon’s eyes twitched viciously.
That was basically Clayton admitting it frankly.
Clayton smiled, but it was full of coldness.
Quavon gritted his teeth. “You actually went against your own family for a woman?! You ingrate! I really underestimated you!”
“My family? Chairman Sloan, you and Isaac are a family. I was an unwelcome outsider from the beginning. Don’t be so grandiose. You talk as if you made a great contribution to my growth.”
Clayton smiled self-deprecatingly and lowered his head. When he looked up again, his gaze was somewhat somber.
“I’ll wait for your counterattack, Chairman Sloan. If you’re at a loss, then call me. I’ll accept your surrender anytime. Of course, you know my conditions.”
Clayton finished speaking and watched as his driver drove up in front of him.
He lifted his feet and got into the car.
Although part of Clayton’s business was in Mediania, some could not be transferred, so it continued to take hold in Wall Street.
Everyone knew that Clayton had returned. Those who were foolish enough to take advantage of his absence all became obedient.
His assistant was waiting for him in the office.
“Mr. Sloan, we did everything according to your instructions. Although we lost money, everyone’s eyes are on Sloan Corporation now. However, it’s strange. Sloan Corporation’s reaction was a little too… Childish.”
Their first reaction was not indifference, nor was it to explain themselves.
The Vice President of Sloan Corporation did two things. First, he bribed the politicians in Liberty to come out and speak up for Sloan Corporation.
There really were fools who listened to them and came out to appease the fierce emotions of the stockholders.
However, the effect did not meet expectations. Instead, it implicated the politicians as well. A series of inside stories regarding power and money deals brought about another intense and sensational drama.
The second thing they did was to send out a statement in the name of Sloan Corporation, stating the risks of the stock market turmoil and that all stockholders should calm their emotions, actively take the risks, and be brave in the face of hardship.
Once the statement was issued, the group of emotionally charged stockholders almost barged into Sloan Corporation’s building with guns.
Sloan Corporation was basically acting as an armchair
expert.
It was because the biggest winner in this turmoil was Sloan Corporation.
Thus, their statement was self-righteous as they gently brushed past the matter.
