Unlimited Son-In-Law - Season 2 Episode 79

“Nigel, what do you have in mind?” Jennifer asked.

Nigel thought about it and said, “I’ll give you a million, and I’ll handle the rest of the thing.”

Jennifer’s eyes widened in surprise. Is he actually offering me a mere one million to take the bid off my hands? He’s indeed greedy!

Jennifer shook her head and refused. “No way. I can hand over the project to you, but I have to be the one handling the raw materials and construction.”

The raw materials included reinforced concrete, rock, and granular sands. On the other hand, the transportation sector would involve dump trucks while the construction section would handle excavation work using the excavators.

The project had to be completed in three months, and there was not a single company in Pollerton that was as fully prepared as Jennifer.

Nigel’s eyes grew cold. “What if I disagree?”

Jennifer bit her lip and said, “Then, I’ll handle all of it myself.”

Nigel laughed and said, “Oh really? So you think you are independent enough now, don’t you? Do you think you can handle this project on your own? The excavators you ordered are still in the production process, and you haven’t even started digging the barren mountain yet! What makes you think you are able to handle this project? Besides, I noticed that you only have a few million in your account. You will need at least one hundred million as start-up capital, and another two billion to pay for whatever comes at the later stage of the project. Don’t forget you won’t get any money before you complete the project. Where are you going to get the money if not from the Wilson family?”

Jennifer’s face darkened.

Nigel is right. But I still haven’t started looking for investors yet, so I want to give this a try.

“I suddenly realize that one million is too much for you. five hundred thousand is my final offer. You will hand over the entire project to me, or the deal is off,” Nigel said as irritation filled his eyes.

He desperately needed the project.

Father is going to retire soon, and the Wilson family is in need of a leader. That person will be me! I must achieve something great so I can take over the position easily. The land reclamation project will be the project that would solidify my position! Even a fifth of the project is enough for me to take over Father’s position!

Jennifer said nothing and continued to shake her head.

Nigel laughed and said, “Fine. I’m done playing with you.”

Jennifer’s heart sank as she knew what Nigel meant.

The project she had secured was located in Mark’s territory, and Nigel had various ways to get Mark to give her trouble.

The Horizon Group would not be able to handle Mark by then.

After saying that, Nigel gave Jennifer a long, hard stare and left, leaving her in a daze.

“Jenny, what do we do?” Linda asked worriedly.

Jennifer thought for a moment and said, “Conner asked me to make up my mind before, so he wants me to ignore Nigel and the rest’s feelings.” However, I’m afraid it’s not going to be easy. Nigel wants me to hand over the entire project, but I don’t want to. How can he try to take a project worth two billion away from me with just a mere five hundred thousand?

Jennifer took out her phone and said, “I’m going to give Conner a call.”

The call quickly went through. Conner was ecstatic when he learned that Jennifer secured the project. “Jennifer, you did a good job and didn’t let me down. Don’t worry about Nigel and the rest. Continue to do things your way.”

Jennifer was stuck on the next problem. “But the start-up capital…”

Conner became silent as well.

He wouldn’t be able to allocate more funds to Jennifer as the Wilson family members wouldn’t agree to it unless they got their hands on the project.

Everyone knew that the person handling the project had to come up with a way to raise their capital funds.

“I’m not the sole decision-maker in the Wilson family right now. I have only one question for you. Can you afford to pay an annualized rate of thirty-six percent?” Conner asked solemnly.
