Chapter 870

He had nothing to explain.

Defeated by Sean’s tactics, he had nothing to say No one would believe it even if he explained.

“There were sometimes problems with my strategy and planning.

“But rest assured, I will take responsibility for the money you’ve invested.”

Jon faced the crowd as he shouted.

“Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Zimmer has spoken.

“He said he would take responsibility for the money he borrowed in his name.”

The reporter repeated that Jon borrowed the money personally and not in the company’s name.

The idea had become ingrained in many people’s minds.

“Mr. Zimmer, we’re no strangers. We know each other.

“So cut the crap. We only came to you for money today.”

A middle–aged man with glasses said bluntly to Jon.

“That’s right! Pay up!”

“Pay up, and everything will be fine.”

Everyone chimed in. Jon was not given a chance to defend himself.

However, how could Jon come up with 300 million dollars?

He did not even have 30 million dollars!

However, no one would believe him if he said that.

They handed the money to Jon.

Jon now said the money had disappeared, and he was nowhere to be found.

Even a fool would not believe it.

“Give me a little time. I will settle this.

“Three days at most. Three days!”

Jon held up three fingers and sounded confident.

However, no one was willing to compromise.

“We’ve paid you.

“You’re not developing it right now, and you probably didn’t use the money.

“Why can’t you pay us back?”

A middle–aged woman in her 40s snorted coldly before asking.

“It’s not that I won’t pay you.

“I need a little time to sort this out.

“Am I going to be able to do all this while I’m here?”

Jon gritted his teeth slightly, his scalp tingling.

However, no one would listen to him, no matter what he said.

The companies would be in danger if they did not get their money back.

Although they looked like they were strapped for cash, it was not only about one company.

If one company could not turn things around, other companies could forgive them and keep the industrial chain moving.

However, all the companies had no money left to operate, so who was going to forgive each other?

No one cared about their reputation at a time like this.

Jon was going to have to pay no matter what.

Honk honk!

Just then, several cars from the government came.

Some government officials got out and handcuffed Jon on the spot.

“Don’t worry, everyone. River City government and the CIA are investigating this matter.

“We have also frozen Jon’s bank accounts as well as the Zimmer family’s passports and ID cards.

“They can’t leave River City, so please give us some time to investigate.”

A government official said to the crowd.

Everyone nodded. They believed in the government.

With the government involved in the investigation, Jon would be forced to surrender his money as long as he had any.

It was when they could get their money.

Therefore, everyone watched Jon being taken away without interfering.

The crowd soon dispersed slowly.

However, these companies had no idea how much impact this event would cause.

It was because no one had ever done anything like this before, so they had no experience.

After all, it involved hundreds of companies!

Sean used Jon to cut off the funding of hundreds of companies. What did that mean?

It meant a huge financial storm was about to take over the entire River City business circle.

Companies in River’s City business circle more or less had business deals with each other.

They were all involved in something.

For example, company A had signed a deal with company B, but they also cooperated with other companies at the same time.

They could be material suppliers or outsourcing production.

If Company A had problems, otherpartners would give certain help.If they had cooperated for a long time, theycould change suppliers if they had no other choice.However, now that all the companies were introuble, how were they going to help?How could they help each otherwhen they were in trouble themselves?If this went on, countless companies would gobankrupt and countless factories would be paralyzed.They were either going to be acquired cheaply orhave their assets sold and lay off their staff.No one would have thought that Sean's ultimategoal was not Zimmer Corporation or the landdowntown, let alone the $300 million.Even the process against ZimmerCorporation was just a sham.He was going to take over most of thebusiness circle in River City in one go.It was what Sean wanted.It was also the first time he showed great ambition.However, the heads of various companies werebusy with John at the moment.They had no time or energyto speculate on Sean's intentions.They did not even know thatSean was behind all this yet.
