Chapter 259 Crisis Managed
This unannounced disinvestment was undoubtedly a major blow to the Jones Enterprise because Daniel knew that Zimmer Enterprise would have no benefit in doing so as well.
“Father, are you alright?” Though Dylan grew pale from this series of events, he went up to his father in a hurry after noticing his father was pale as well.
Daniel waved his hand. “I’m fine. I want you to immediately have a meeting with the upper-level management to see what we can do.”
“Alright.”
It wasn’t a big deal if these contracts had some sort of problems or were even terminated. The problem was that it all happened at the same time abruptly. With Zimmer Enterprise’s disinvestment, Jones Enterprise was facing an unprecedented crisis.
Now that Dylan was the vice president of the company, he was gradually taking over his father’s job in managing the company. He had suspected that this series of events was orchestrated by someone else, as he was caught off guard by how abrupt it was.
After the meeting, Dylan came into his father’s office and noticed his father seemed to have aged in this short amount of time. “Father, how are you doing?” he asked with concern.
Daniel shook his head. “You don’t have to worry about me. I’m fine. We have to solve these problems as soon as possible. Otherwise, the company will have a crisis on its hands.”
Dylan nodded. “We’re now seeking for other companies to take over the East River project. If all goes well, we’ll be signing with a new company tomorrow and we will be able to finish the project within the deadline. As for the new park project, we’ll just lose the project, as we can consider the land in Whitborn, as it is better than the new park project. Lastly, I think it’d be best for you to discuss things with Zimmer Enterprise, Father.”
Satisfied with his son’s arrangement, Daniel nodded. “Good. You’ve indeed grown. I would be relieved to leave the company to you. As for Zimmer Enterprise, I’ll need time to think about it,” he said with a thoughtful expression.
Since Dylan thought the events today were rather strange, he asked his father, “Father, don’t you think these incidents are just too strange? These incidents came so suddenly and to varying degrees. The report we heard together was considered huge news, but there have been many other incidents that were reported to me during the meeting. All these things adding up together would disrupt the company’s operation.”
When Daniel heard his son’s report, he frowned as he recalled recent matters and determined that they wouldn’t have offended someone, as they were not in a conflict with anyone at the moment. Although Jones Enterprise was not a powerful company in Hammond, it was still a legit family business. Who would come after us like this? Then, he said solemnly, “I want you to keep an ear to the ground for these two days and immediately report to me if you heard even the smallest movement.”
“I understand. Please take some rest. Just leave the company to me, I will take good care of it.”
“Alright.”
When Hanson read the message Larry had sent him on the phone, he snorted as Jones Enterprise was already on the verge of collapsing when things had only started for them. He was fully anticipating how they would endure the upcoming onslaught ahead of them. This is the price of bully Vania. As for Dylan Jones, perhaps I’ll allow him to get used to the new status quo, for now, he thought.
Then, Hanson kept his phone and turned to find the four little children standing before him. James wore a serious expression with a sheet of paper in his hand. Considering James’ expression and the fact Hanson couldn’t see the contents of the paper well, his expression changed as he asked, “What are you all doing?”
He raised his hands and showed Hanson the sheet of paper he was holding.
