I Really Didn’t Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World

Chapter 159: Chapter 136: Buying Your Company and Your

People for a Billion_3

Translator: 549690339

“I appreciate your kindness, Mr. Owen, but I really have no intention of selling the company.” Harrison Clark took a deep breath, and even the title he used for the other party changed, becoming more distant.

He decided to refuse more straightforwardly, so as not to experience the pain of having a billion dollars almost at hand and then vanishing again, “I understand your intentions, Mr. Owen, you want Ward Owen to return to Whale Group, right?”

Chris Owen nodded in half truth and half falsehood, “Yes.”

“Don’t you think that’s very unfair to him?”

“How is it unfair? How, taking over my position humiliates him?”

Harrison shook his head, “That’s not the point. But you really didn’t respect his personal wishes. You have a high position and great power, but that’s just your personal will. Imposing it on Ward Owen is unwise. With all due respect, his talent is not in corporate management. Forced melons are not sweet, and if you really force him to return, you are not only hurting him but also hurting Whale Group.”

“No, he can learn. There is nothing people can’t do, only whether they are willing to work hard or not.”

“To become a barely satisfactory helmsman, to control a not-so-big and not-so-small company can indeed be achieved through hard work. But Whale Group has a market value of several billions, it is a national treasure. You must put Ward Owen in your place, which is a mistake for both you and him, and for the country.”

“Absurd! What nonsense is this! Did he ask you to tell me these things? It’s unbearable!” Chris Owen finally got angry, “He is avoiding responsibility! He is making excuses for his laziness and mixed mentality! Being born as a human being, he must bear his own weight! Since he was born in my family and enjoyed the conveniences I brought him, he should bear the corresponding responsibility! His personal interests and hobbies cannot override historical responsibility! Taking over the helm of Whale Group is a responsibility he must face!”

Harrison was stunned.

It seemed that he really could not argue against the other party.

If it weren’t for knowing how bad Ward Owen was at managing a business, Harrison would have almost been convinced.

If Harrison were still his old self, he might have been defeated in front of the other party.

As for now, he can still hold on.

After all, what Harrison carries on his own shoulders is probably a million times greater than Chris Owen’s so-called historical responsibility.

Harrison has seen the grand scene a thousand years later and has the future of all humanity in his heart.

“Anyway, I just won’t sell it! Whatever you say, Mr. Owen, is useless!”

Harrison was expressionless, confronting each other.

Chris Owen glared, “You …”

The two looked at each other without a word.

The office suddenly became silent, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

At this moment, Julia Lambert, who was waiting outside, entered the room.

While Harrison can be stubborn and play rough when he can’t win, Julia Lambert has to clean up the mess for him.

But Chris Owen is not the kind of person who clings and fights to the death either. Seeing that the personal visit has reached an impasse, he quickly adjusts and stands up, saying, “Today doesn’t seem like a good day to talk business. Is this General Manager Julia Lambert? Just before returning to the country, I happened to have met with Mr. Lewis. He has some words for me to convey to you in person. Let’s go, the two of us will go to your office and chat.”

After finishing, Chris Owen got up and walked outside.

Julia Lambert exchanged a glance with Harrison, nodded, understanding each other’s intentions.

The “Teacher Lewis” Chris Owen mentioned was Julia Lambert’s mentor when she studied abroad, a respected Chinese-American economist.

The circle of the top-level elite is just that big, and the relationship between Lewis and Chris Owen is not shallow.

The two gradually walked away.

With his amazing hearing, Harrison secretly listened for a while, his face turning red and white.

Owen’s old man seems to be upright, but in fact, he is a rather unreasonable and ruthless person who acts in a deviant manner.

He failed to acquire my company, and he actually tried to poach my capable lieutenant in my face. That’s too much!

Luckily, Harrison didn’t win over Julia Lambert with money but with gratitude, so he wasn’t worried about her being poached.

About ten minutes later, Julia Lambert knocked on the door and entered the chairman’s office, wiping her sweat.

Harrison laughed and asked, “How did it go? Did you send the person away?”

Julia Lambert sat down and took a big gulp of tea, “Yes, it was difficult to deal with, very oppressive.”As he said this, he looked puzzled at Harrison Clark, “Harrison, how did you withstand him? You actually dared to stare him down.”

Harrison shrugged, “He is very wealthy and powerful. But I have a reason to reject him.”

“No, I mean, don’t you feel any pressure when facing such a big shot?”

Harrison shook his head: “No pressure. Let me put it this way, when a person is already carrying billions of tons of pressure on their shoulders, adding a few more tons won’t make a difference. As for big shots…”

Harrison thought about it and decided not to talk about himself.

In the next thousand years of human history, Carrie Thomas’s status would be even higher than Chris Owen’s.

If I am not afraid of even higher-ups, why would I be afraid of Chris Owen?

As he thought about this, the little sheep Carrie Thomas that had been sold, even helped Harrison count the money, came in right on time.

“Ward Owen just called me to ask about the situation. You didn’t fight with his dad, did you? I have been telling you that as a creative person, you are not the same as those cunning businessmen. You wouldn’t be able to negotiate well. From the very beginning, you should have let Julia Lambert stand by your side and speak for you.”

Julia Lambert was taken aback, pointing to her face.

“How am I the cunning one?”

Carrie Thomas covered her mouth, “Oh, a slip of the tongue.”

Harrison waved his hand, “Don’t change the subject, Julia, what did he say?”

Julia Lambert: “He wanted to poach me, but I refused.”

Harrison and Carrie Thomas, who were sitting next to him, nodded in unison. “Mmm.”

“Aren’t you going to ask what conditions he offered?”

Harrison shook his head, “I don’t feel like asking, it’s not important.”

Carrie Thomas added, “Your own sister has said before that you are a loyal person. Once Susan graduates, she will join our Summit Ventures too. There’s no way you would leave.”

Julia Lambert felt a little deflated, “Well, anyway, he told me a lot of big principles and tried to pressure me with my teacher’s influence. The salary and benefits were very generous. But in the end, I persuaded him. He said he was willing to observe for a while and reassess the value of Summit Ventures.”

Harrison was curious, “How did you persuade him? People like him don’t usually change their decisions and are hard to take advice, right?”

“I recalculated the accounts with him. I told him that if you, Harrison, can maintain your current creative ability, ten billion is just a small fraction of Summit Ventures’ value. Since we need to talk business, he should understand that our company does not lack funds at the moment, and there is no need to seek finance. We won’t accept any financing under too billion before our development reaches a bottleneck and our value stops growing.”

Harrison understood.

Julia Lambert fought poison with poison. If he attempted to take advantage of us with money, she would use money to drive him away.

Julia Lambert’s words can be understood like this:

“Do you think we’re fools? You want to pick up a bargain with just 10 billion? Please respect your judgment and our intelligence.”

Harrison thought it made sense.

Carrie Thomas, who was originally not very sensitive to money, was even more surprised.

Carrie Thomas asked, “Is our company really worth that much?”

Harrison grinned, “You alone are worth 50 billion.”

Carrie Thomas hit him, “Stop lying! You didn’t even want me to join your company in the first place!”

Harrison: “Uh…”

Ignoring the playfulness between the two, Julia Lambert on the side nodded and shook her head.

“Actually, I just went by Harrison’s thinking and deliberately mentioned a sky-high price to crush his hopes. He obviously won’t believe it, but we can slowly prove how much we’re worth in the future. Setting aside the influence of the Whale Group, he is, after all, Ward Owen’s father. If he deliberately sets obstacles for us, it would be quite uncomfortable for us, especially since many of our operations need to use resources from Oxfordshire.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

That makes sense..
