Jack naturally understood and said, “Teacher, it’s really difficult to raise funds, but I know some friends. I might be able to contact them to ask if anyone is willing to invest.” Beatrice’s eyes lit up and said, “Great! We need patriots like you! Jack, as long as the institute is established, I’ll recommend you to be the first batch of medical researchers to enter the institute!” Jack said gratefully, “Thank you, Teacher.” After that, he was about to dial the phone numbers of some business owners he knew. It was also at this time that Philip stepped forward and asked, “How much needs to be raised?” After asking this question, both Beatrice and Jack looked at Philip dubiously. As far as Beatrice knew, Philip had already invested billions in helping Henry’s cardiology department. Was he going to invest in the comprehensive research institute now? Impossible! This was simply not the kind of financial support that could be given by one person! Moreover, the research pla
Ten… Ten billion? Instantly, everyone was stunned! Jack looked at Philip dumbfounded. From his expression, he could not read any deception.Was he telling the truth?How could it be? Ten billion! Was he crazy? Who could have so much money? Anyone who could simply invest 10 billion in the development of a research institute must have tens of billions of funds! Would such a person be unknown? However, when did Riverdale produce such a character? Jack had never heard of it! He had never seen a rich man like Philip! Therefore, he immediately sneered and mocked, “What did you say? Ten billion? Young man, you’re overly pretentious. It’s a good thing to be grateful to our Professor Swann, but it’s not good for you to talk nonsense like this.” He refused to believe that a guy like Philip could spend ten billion! Even if he had some wealth, it would be a million to ten million at most. Ten billion? Ludicrous! Beatrice was also taken aback. When she heard the nu
If he could not come up with ten billion, just reduce it to 100 million? Did he really think that money fell from the sky? He could come up with 100 million just like that? Beatrice also shook her head helplessly and said, “Mr. Clarke, I know you really want to support this project, but if it doesn't work out, we don't have to force it. We will find a way.” However, Philip was unperturbed and continued to dial another number. “Buffer, transfer ten billion to…” Philip turned to Beatrice and asked, “Do you have a bank account?” Beatrice was startled in puzzlement. However, Henry stepped forward and recited the bank account information. Soon, Philip hung up the phone and said to Beatrice casually, “Professor Swann, the money has already been transferred. You can check it later.” It was transferred? Beatrice’s face was full of disbelief. Jack sneered and mocked, “Young man, aren’t you done pretending yet?” He said this with a tone full of dissatisfaction. Was this g
Phoenix Pavilion, Phoenicia. The four Phoenix brothers were gathered together at the moment, wining and dining merrily. “Wallace, since Mr. Clarke and Theo are dead, the underground chamber of commerce this time will be different. When the time comes, a big piece of cake like Riverdale will definitely be popular.” The fourth brother, Gerald Phoenix, held the red wine in his hand. His face was full of joy. “In my opinion, we did a big favor to those people in the South River District. We’ll score a piece of this cake,” the third brother, Harvey, said. Only the second brother, Jerome, with bandages on his hands and accompanied by a special nurse, asked in a deep voice, “Wallace, what do you think?” Wallace stood in front of the large French window with his hands behind his back, looking at the darkening sky in Phoenicia, After a brief silence, he said, “Don't intervene in the affairs of the underground chamber of commerce for the time being. Let those big bosses fight it ou
At the same time at Fenix Hotel and Restaurant in Ken Cooke’s suite. Yana sat on the sofa with a vague look of joy on her face and said, “Master Ken, you’ve also received the news, right?” Ken put his hands in the pockets of his suit trousers and stood in front of the window, looking far away. His thoughts were unknown. He said, “I received it. Something happened to Theo and that Mr. Clarke.” “This is good news for us,” Yana said. Ken shook his head and turned around, looking at Yana with a profound look. He asked, “Do you think this news is reliable?” Yana shook her head and said, “No.” “Why not?” Ken asked and sat opposite Yana. Yana got up, stepped forward, and walked to the wine rack to pour two glasses of red wine. She said, “Because Bowen Roy’s people are all gathered in the north of Phoenicia and haven’t moved a single step.” Bowen Roy! When Ken heard this name, his heart suddenly tightened. Yes. Bowen had supposedly joined that Mr. Clarke, but now that t
The city was full of volatility. On this night, Phoenicia was very lively. There were twice as many people on the streets than usual. The underground chamber of commerce was taking place ahead of schedule tonight at an ancient building in Phoenicia. It was a theater lobby. It was an ancient theater that had been handed down ages ago. The place had carved beams, red tiles, and lamps hanging everywhere—making it seem extremely lively. At this time, the ancient theater building was heavily guarded both inside and outside. An endless stream of various luxury cars drove in from the gates of the building and stopped on the red carpet in front of the main entrance of the theater. From inside the cars, glamorously dressed prominent figures walked down one after another, accompanied by their female companions. They entered the venue one by one! To the outside world, these people were infamous leaders in their respective areas! Big bosses in their own rights! Tonight, they we
At this moment on both sides of the stage, many big bosses from various districts were stepping out from backstage to the front to take their seats. “Oh, Mr. Wood, long time no see.” “Haha, Mr. Saunders, you’re here too.” Several people who knew each other greeted politely. On the surface, they were courteous like blood brothers. As soon as they sat down, however, their faces became cold. They were each thinking of ways to crush the other party later! Soon, the main guest arrived. “Master Cooke is here!” someone shouted in the crowd. The leaders who were all seated got up and smiled at Ken Cooke who was walking out from backstage. Ken, dressed in a black suit, looked vigorous with a ruddy complexion. He was determined to win the top spot tonight. “Master Ken, please take a seat. I’m afraid you’ll be taking the main seat tonight.” Someone stepped forward at this moment and flattered. Ken waved his hand and said, “Hey, the most important thing is to participate.”
The majestic and elegant Shawn Hane walked out from backstage under everyone’s gaze. His face was ruddy as he politely greeted everyone. Two assistants followed behind him, both middle-aged men who appeared calm and serious with torch-like gazes. They did not look like ordinary people at first glance! They were experts from the Hane family! “There’s no need to be so polite. Please have a seat.” Shawn smiled, giving people a very refined and approachable feeling. “Master Hane.” “Master Hane has traveled a long way. It must’ve been hard on you.” Many people gathered around Shawn at the moment, flattering him. After all, Shawn was the current head of the Hane family in Capital City, one of the eight wealthiest families out there! In terms of strength and financial resources, none of them here could compare to him! In terms of influence, the Hane family had long solidified their status in Capital City! Furthermore, the Hanes was established as a martial arts famil
