Chapter 36 Whose Idea Was It

After a pause, Martin James suddenly opened his mouth and asked:

"By the way, how much compensation would be paid to the family members of the workers who died at the construction site?"

"500,000 dollars. This is the compensation standard set by the head office, and we will pay it as soon as possible." Michael Bess said.

"500,000 dollars? It's too little. Double it and pay 1 million for each family! I don't care what the standard of the head office is. Our branch will pay 1 million in compensation whenever there is a life accident in the future!" Martin James said.

Martin James remembered clearly that when his father had an accident at the construction site, the company denied it and did not give any compensation to the Martin James family. His mother asked for it, and she was beaten up and kicked out.

In the end, even his father's burial expenses were not collected by the mother.

"Too little?" Michael Bess looked surprised.

In Michael Bess's perception, the vast majority of companies were dissatisfied with the fact that they had to pay too much compensation. This was the first time he had heard the boss of the company say that the compensation was too small.

"Human life is priceless, and 500,000 is certainly too little!" Martin James's tone was adamant.

"Most companies don't have a lot of conscientious bosses like you now. Mr. James, don't worry. I'll pay out the 1 million compensation within half a month." Michael Bess said seriously.

It was only one small thing, but it made Michael Bess respect Martin James.

Then, Michael Bess took a turn and said angrily:

"In the final analysis, everything is caused by the Mars Group! Think about it. I'm mad at them, Mr. James. Are we just going to settle this?"

Martin James's eyes squinted:

"Forget it? Of course not! For the price we have paid this time, I will certainly give it back to them ten times and a hundred times the price will be paid by Mars Group in the future! And for more than the dozen workers who died in vain, I will certainly get justice for them! I will!"

The more than a dozen workers were also the epitome of Martin James's father. Martin James would seek justice for them, as well as for his dead father.

Martin James used to be a poor boy. He was not qualified to disturb the Mars Group, but now it was different!

Mars Group was the local snake of California City. It could be said that it was deeply rooted in the local area.

It was absolutely difficult for Martin James to defeat the Mars Group on his own without asking his grandfather for help. He was afraid it would not be possible to do in such a short period of time.

But after this incident, Martin James had completely made up his mind. That no matter how difficult it was, he will defeat the Mars Group!

This was a goal that Martin James had set for himself at the moment!

"It must be unrealistic to destroy the Mars Group in a short period of time." Martin James said.

Then, Martin James took a turn:

"But it's rude if we don't reciprocate. He's plotting against us this time. How can we not give him a gift in return?"

"Mr. James, do you have any suggestions?" Michael Bess said curiously.

"I want you to spend some money and to hire a big truck. In the middle of the night, we dump a truckload of feces in front of Horace Edie's house and block his door with shit! That will be our gift to him. It would make him sick." Martin James sneered.

"This method is really amazing. It will definitely make him sick! Mr. James, don't worry. I'll tell someone to do it as soon as possible!" Michael Bess said excitedly.

Michael Bess was also angry about this, and of course he wanted to vent his anger.

Martin James looked at Michael Bess, and said seriously:

"Michael, no matter what the final outcome of this matter is, you must bear in mind this lesson and step up the inspection of other property construction sites that are still under construction. This must not happen again."

Michael Bess nodded: "Don't worry, Chairman. I have learned my lesson. I will strengthen the security force in the future and put an end to this kind of thing!"

Next, for Martin James and Michael Bess, it was a very excruciating wait.

Was it possible to do it on their own way or not? Could they get through this successfully? Martin James was also completely unsure.

Martin James only knew that if he really lost 1.5 billion, he would be ashamed to see his grandfather next time.

After coming out of the company, Martin James suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He had an idea in mind.

"Lone wolf! Come out!" Martin James shouted.

A few seconds later, a figure appeared in front of Martin James.

He was the lone wolf who secretly protected Martin James all this time.

"What can I do for you, Sir?" The lone wolf made a hoarse, low voice.

"Lone wolf. You're good, aren't you?" Martin James asked.

"At least in the California area, I have no match otherwise." Replied the lone wolf calmly.

Martin James continued to ask, "Lone Wolf, you are my man now, aren't you?"

"Of course." The lone wolf nodded.

"In that case, I want you to kill Horace Edie of the Mars Group. Can prove your strength to me?" Martin James said.

"I'm sorry, Sir, but my job is to protect you. The old master told me that only when your life is in danger, can I do it." The lone wolf's face was expressionless.

When Martin James heard the words, he was speechless.

"Gee, I don't think you have the strength, do you?" Martin James could only use provocation.

"Whatever you think, young master."

After saying this, the lone wolf turned and left directly.

"Hey! Hey! Why are you leaving? Didn't you say you were my man?"

Looking at the lone wolf, Martin James, who left without dragging his feet, was speechless.

Martin James also thought that it would be much easier if the lone wolf could solve his problem with Horace Edie.

As a result, the lone wolf didn't do it at all.

The idea of letting the lone wolf do it could only come to nothing.

After leaving the company, Martin James went straight to school.

Along the way, Martin James was also thinking about how to completely defeat the local snake Mars Group without asking his grandfather for help.

Horace Edie, the boss of Mars Group, was the leader of California City's underground strength, and he was also his biggest opposition.

A bold idea came into Martin James's mind. That is, to create an underground force of his own. Then it would destroy the underground force of Horace Edie, and unify the underground force of California City.

Of course, this was just an idea of Martin James, and if it was to be implemented, it would be a very challenging thing.

As soon as he arrived at school, Martin James received a call from Michael Bess.

"Chairman, your method is really amazing! Those customers who are clamoring to get their money back were given a 30% discount. They seem to have picked up a big bargain. No refund, only a few still insist on checking out, but we can still sell it." Michael Bess's excited voice came from the phone.

Michael Bess, on the other end of the phone, was full of admiration for Martin James at the moment. He did not expect that, Martin James' method would successfully resolve the crisis.

"Well, that's good!"

When Martin James heard the news. He just took a long breath.

Although he could not make much money if he sold it at a 30% discount, at least they won't lose money, won't they?

For a problem to have such result, this was definitely a complete victory.

Although the storm had temporarily subsided, the feud between Martin James and the Mars Group had not been completely settled.

Mars Group Building.

In the chairman's office on the top floor.

Horace Edie, with a shaved head, lit a cigar and leaned against the boss' chair with a leisurely yearning on his face.

Standing next to him was Horace Edie's head troubleshooter, A wizard.

" Mr. Edie, the phone lines of the Gold Group must have been ringing nonstop at the moment. I bet the Gold Group must be having trouble solving the check-out problem of so many customers." A wizard said. He looked excited.

"This time, I'll see how the Gold Group will deal with it!" Horace Edie also smiled triumphantly.

"What else can I do? I'm sure I can only lose money. For this real estate, the Gold Group will have to pay more than $1 billion dollars, Sir!" A wizard let out a strange smile.

"A wizard, your strategy is very good. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly." Horace Edie said with a smile.

"Thank you Mr. Edie! Thank you Mr. Edie!" A wizard nodded again and again with delight.

Just then, a thin man hurried in, running and shouting:

"Mr. Edie it's not good! Things have changed!"

"Tell me quickly, what's the matter!" Horace Edie frowned.

"Mr. Edie, Gold Group sold their units at a 30% discount, and those who are clamoring for a 30% discount immediately stop compromising! Now things have calmed down. Gold Group has not made much money, but it has not lost money." Said the thin man.

"What!"

Horace Edie stood up in surprise and his face became ugly.

"Damn it! How come these bastards are so shaky! Give a 30% discount and compromise?" A wizard. On one side I could not help swearing.

"How dare them give such a low discount of 30%? Whose idea was this?"

The angry Horace Edie smashed his cigar to the ground.

Horace Edie never expected that their strategy, which had been planned for such a long time, had been defused by Gold Group in this way.
