Chapter 228
“We have nothing to do with the seized oil.” One of the entrepreneurs grumbled.
“Who knows if that’s true?” Kennedy’s gaze turned cold. He looked imposing as he said, “One percent is too little. I need at least
ten!”
“Ten percent? You must have gone crazy thinking about money!” A bad-tempered entrepreneur scolded, “The total investment is
about one hundred billion, and you are asking for a tenth of the profit. The amount of money could crush you to death!”
Kennedy glanced at him. “I’m starving for money. Not just a tenth. I have no problem gobbling up half of the profit!”
“How greedy!”
“Don’t even dream about it! You think we are stupid?”
“Our time is precious. We didn’t come here to listen to Kennedy’s nonsense!”
The meeting had gone out of hand. Benny’s expression turned stern as he scolded, “You are all adults. Stop squabbling like
children! Silence!”
Since the leader had spoken, no one could disobey. Thus, everyone, including Kennedy, immediately stopped quarreling.
Benny glanced around and paused his gaze on Kennedy for an extra second. Then, he looked away and said solemnly, “Years
ago, we set up this chamber of commerce with the aim of helping each other and growing together. But in recent years, I noticed
some of you have gone overboard.”
He paused briefly before continuing, “Kennedy, what about this? You can have two percent. Give me a nod and the money shall
be sent to Arture Group.”
“Only two billion?” Kennedy frowned. “That won’t even cover my loss. No, I need at least three percent!”
The bad-tempered entrepreneur from before shouted, “Three percent? Do you have no shame?”
“Enough!” Benny glared at everyone. The office instantly fell silent. “Kennedy, two and a half percent. I can’t offer more than this.”
“Fine, I’ll take two and a half percent. But I’m only accepting this out of consideration of our relationship.” Kennedy nodded, but
he still seemed dissatisfied.
“That’s settled then.” Once the last objecting person nodded, Benny tapped on the table and said, “Looking at the present
development, if Draco Chamber of Commerce doesn’t do anything in three days, we will mobilize Paramount Chamber of
Commerce to gobble it up!”
An impatient entrepreneur protested, “I think you are being too cautious. Why must we wait for three days? Paramount Chamber
of Commerce has enough power to get rid of Willow in a day!”
“Don’t be impatient. The marketplace is like a battlefield. We should give the Meteorites some time to test out Draco Chamber of
Commerce.” Benny’s eyes flashed with a devious gleam.
“Speaking of the Meteorites...” One of the entrepreneurs frowned sadly. “I’ve been cheated about one billion!”
“I’ve lost one hundred million more than you!” Another entrepreneur sighed.
Everyone who had attended the charity auction turned furious.
Kennedy remembered he had lost 250 million. His expression darkened as he said, “Hmph, they are a bunch of robbers. I’m
going to ask Soaring Eagles to wipe them out one day!”
Hearing him, a few of the entrepreneurs pursed their lips in disdain. Soaring Eagles is a mighty army that guards the frontier. It is
not something for a mere businessman like you to order around!
However, these people later remembered Kennedy’s eldest son’s father-in-law was one of the four deputy commanders. Thus,
they quickly concealed their disdain.
