"But Leah, I don't think the Quinn family and Quill will let us live in peace.
"Actually, I'm worried about Quill going after Sean."
Willow gritted her teeth slightly. As a River City citizen, she knew how powerful the Zimmer family was.
Sean might be wealthy, but he was not as powerful as the Zimmer family.
What Old Madam Quinn had said echoed in Willow's head.
Money was important in this society, but it was not everything.
Civilians would not challenge the rich, and the rich would not challenge government officials.
Between money and power, power came first.
Leah was silent for two seconds before answering softly.
"Well, Sean can figure this out, right?"
Willow's concerns were also hers, of course.
However, she thought Sean must have some confidence to continue living in River City.
She just had no idea what Sean was going to do.
...
It was quiet all night.
The next day.
9.30 a.m. when the stock market opened.
Many stockholders found that Zimmer Corporation's stocks were open for trade.
Things were going well with the funds that Jon had borrowed.
What Zimmer Corporation did immediately silenced the stockholders.
Then Jon held another press conference at 10 a.m.
Zimmer Corporation's public relations department had prepared for this press conference overnight yesterday.
All the reporters present today had been bribed not to ask tricky questions.
Therefore, it was more of a public speech Jon prepared instead of a press conference.
Jon had paid off many of the loans they owed to River City banks.
With the rest secured by 5% of Zimmer Corporation's shares, the banks would not pressure them, of course.
They had settled the stockholders and the bank loans, and Jon was feeling smug.
At the press conference.
Jon stood on the stage in front of a bunch of microphones and cameras and started talking.
He talked about Zimmer Corporation's wealth and development prospects. He was quite ambitious.
After an impassioned speech, Jon brought up the land.
