Chapter 304: Chapter 304
Chapter 304 Declaration of War
While Martin discussed with Payne on their villa, what they weren't aware of was that the Wright family and the Birrell family also had a special bond because the Wright family was ranked fourth of the most influential families in JD City.
And because the Wright family didn't have a particularly strong background, the Birrell family always did something about it.
However, the Birrell family didn't do it out of the goodness of their hearts. Every year, the Birrell family always took away the benefits from the Wright family. At the same time, the Wright family always helped the Birrell family in times of need as well.
Inside the living room of the villa, Dominic Wright had a smile on his face as he said, "Winston, I can't believe you're visiting us so late at night. What's the matter?"
"Did you know about the Gold Group spending huge sums of money just to suppress me?" Winston said with a serious look on his face.
"Well, yeah I've heard about that," Dominic said as he nodded.
"I'll be straight to the point, then," Winston said as he leaned on the sofa. "The Birrell family urgently needs a lot of money to get over the difficulty of the situation, so I was wondering if you could fund my company at least five billion."
"Five billion?" Dominic said as he was taken aback. "Winston, don't joke around. I'm doing an underground business and regardless of the superficial beauty, I have to raise some funds for it because it's really expensive."
"Furthermore, the Wright family still has to provide you some money every year. If I give you five billion, I'd have nothing left for me, so I can't spend that much." Dominic said.
"Don't try and fight back, Dominic. You've done some shameful business over these years and you tell me that you've made less money? Don't think I don't know!" Winston said coldly. "The Wright family depends on the Birrell family for protection, so if my family can't get through all the difficulties we're facing, the Wright family will be dragged down!"
"Winston, I understand that, but I truly don't have that much money, Dominic said. "I tried my best to give you one billion at least."
At that moment, Winston narrowed his eyes, stood up, and took out a pistol as he pointed it at Dominic.
"P-Please don't be so hasty, Winston," Dominic said as he trembled in fear.
"Tell me the truth, then," Winston said. "Can you give me the money?"
"F-four billion is my limit! If you don't believe me, you can go and check my bank if you want," Dominic said.
"I need that four billion transferred to my account within two days!" Winston shouted. As he put away the gun.
"Y-Yes!"
Because of what happened, Dominic was mad. Since he also had a gun on his waist, he wanted to take out the gun and shoot it at Winston, but he knew that he couldn't do that because he once shot Winston, the Wright family would not only be massacred, but they would also have to die without a place to be buried.
Moreover, as long as the Wright family wanted to mix in with JD City, he had to rely on the Birrell family because they had such a strong background.
Dominic pondered about it, but he eventually said, "Winston, even with four billion dollars, I'm afraid that won't be able to completely resolve the crisis that the Birrell family has."
"Don't worry. As long as the four billion lasts for a while, it'll be enough," Winston said sternly. "The Birrell family will soon be a part of the Tomlinson family because of the arrangement, so as long as the marriage is successful, that will be the time when the Gold Group will be destroyed."
"T-The Tomlinson family? Do you mean the hermit family?" Dominic said as he looked horrified.
"Yes," Winston said with a smile.
"I didn't expect the Birrell family to have such a connection with the Tomlinson family. If that's the case, then the Gold Group will be over!" Dominic said. He knew about the horrible existence of the Tomlinson family, so he reminded himself not to get in touch with them, but he truly didn't expect that the Birrell family had an ace up their sleeve.
"With the help of the Tomlinson family, the Birrell family will eventually take over JD City," Winston laughed. After that, he left.
The next morning, the Tommy family announced that all industries that competed with the Birrell family have carried out substantial price reduction activities. As soon as the news came out, the entire business community was in an uproar because everybody knew that the Tommy family declared a war on the Birrell family.
The Gold Group declared war against the Birrell family yesterday but they also wondered if there was an alliance between the Gold Group and the Tommy family.
All the bosses in the downtown business were simply amazed and since the customers of the Birrell family noticed the discount, they immediately became attracted to the price.
Meanwhile, inside the Birrell family villa, Winston got the news that the Tommy family declared a war on them, so he smashed the teacup on the ground as he exclaimed, "God damn it!"
Winston thought that since he finally got four billion from the Wright family, he would be able to counter the Gold Group in no time. However, the Tommy family intervene and because of that, he could only though that four billion wasn't enough.
The intervention of the Tommy family disrupted his plans again, which was why he wanted to call Payne. However, his calls were ignored, which made Winston realize that Payne already changed his mind.
"Damn that old man, I'll destroy with Tommy family with my bare hands if I have to!" Winston angrily roared.
Time passed by and a week passed in a blink of an eye. Because of the efforts that the Tommy Group and the Gold Group had, the Birrell family had a very difficult time.
Martin also hurriedly looked for artificial influence, but because of what happened, the Birrell Group's capital chain broke and the news was about to die down.
The Birrell family's loan from the bank was still due for some time, but upon hearing some public opinions that the Birrell Group was about to fail, the bank began to collect the loan in advance. However, the Birrell family couldn't have anything to take out to repay the loan.
Time passed by, and a week passed in a blink of an eye.
To further expand the results, Martin invested an additional 1.6 billion so he could suppress the Birrell family even further. Not to mention, judging by what little the Birrell family had left, they knew that the company would be dead soon.
As for Renee, she began to gradually promote her company. Because all the advertising, the shooting commercials, and the offline promotion required a certain amount of time, which was why Renee planned on negotiating and finalize the preliminary preparations.
It was expected that after another week or so, Renee's advertisements would suddenly sweep again the company and make everyone familiar with what she promoted.
As for C City, everything went smoothly and it's slowly developing and thriving.
In addition to that, Martin also had a live broadcast, so the popularity of Hedy Julian's live studio was very high. Although Martin couldn't see Hedy in person, he thought that it wouldn't be a bad idea to meet up with him sometime soon.
Meanwhile, in the Gold Group's office, Morgan discussed something to Martin and said, "According to the current situation of the Birrell Group, I'm sure it'll be declared as bankrupt if it lasts another day."
"Grandpa, when the Birrell Group goes bankrupt, I can kill Edwiin, right?' Martin asked.
"Just because the Birrell family went bankrupt doesn't mean that they're entirely dead. Edwiin is a major, you know?" Morgan said as he shook his head. "We can only destroy him economically and make him suffer, but we can't kill him."
Martin simply nodded because he trusted Morgan's words and understood the reason why.
The Gold Group defeated the Birrell Group through economic means and the compliance was legal, so even if the head of the Birrell family had an incredible background, he wouldn't be able to find an excuse to get out of the mess he was in.
"If I can take down the Birrell Group, my life will be complete," Morgan laughed. Since he had been fighting with the Birrell Group for many years, he truly didn't want to worry about them anymore.
