Chapter 608 Dragging Them In

• Katherine Cornell smiled with open sincerity. “No, you all deserve it. You’re top dogs in business. I truly admire that. I’ve been listening to your talk about bidding for the amusement park. After thinking it through, I agree with the shareholders’ proposal. W Co. is an overseas company. If we want to break into Cechirus, we need the right channel. Ordinary firms don’t interest me. As for the Levisay Group, to be honest, I don’t want to get tangled up there. Husband and wife mixing business? Hard pass. It’s cleaner if we each handle our own. Now that such a good shot is in front of us, I’m willing to go all in and bid together with the Grant Corporation. As for the Levisay Group, let’s skip it. With W Co., I can make the call alone. The Levisay Group would still need a shareholders’ meeting. Even some retirees love to meddle. Total headache.”
• The shareholders went wild the second they heard that. Applause broke out. Money on the table makes everyone happy.
• But Josiah Grant looked truly torn. He tried to talk her down. “Kathy, you don’t have to get dragged into this. The amusement park is a massive project. We’re talking billions. Most of our cash is already tied up in the high-speed rail. Manpower, resources, funds—we’re stretched thin. Call it a partnership if you want, but it’s basically the partner fronting the capital while we just slap our name on it.”
