Inside the meeting room, the atmosphere was immediately tense. At first, none of them understood what Travis meant.
"What'sthis? Our family is the most cash-strapped right now, and you, Travis Jensen, want us to pay off those twenty million before lending us those thirty million?"
Jorge immediately asked, "Travis, what do you mean? Why don't I understand what you're saying?"
Travis' lips formed a wide smile, revealing teeth as white as pearls. He did not reply because the meeting room door had just been opened by someone.
This new arrival is Travis' third uncle, Ford Jensen. Following behind him were two burly men in black suits. They have a sinister face and are clearly like professional debt collectors.
A second later, the whole family stared at Ford, feeling very confused.
Jorge immediately rushed up to Ford, and the sixty-year-old man now humbly said, "Manager Jensen, why didn't you tell us in advance that you were coming. We could've waited at the entrance to greet you."
Ford smiled formally and said, "Mr. Zea, there's no need to be so polite."
"Not at all, I behave accordingly." Jorge quickly sat down before continuing, "Manager Jensen, you must have heard from Travis about Zea Group wanting to get a loan. We're so sorry if you came."
Ford replied, "It's okay. We, in this field of profession, are used to running around."
After that, Ford issued a contract that had been designed to be put on the conference table. "Mr Zea, please sit down. Let's talk about this loan."
Jorge hurriedly returned to his seat at the end of the table and smiled. "really. Let's talk fun. We'll trouble you again this time, Manager Jensen. Although Zea Group secured another thirty million loan from Golden Peony Bank, we know the rules. And with Travis' connection, can you..."
"No, no, no ..." Ford cut Jorge. "Mr Zea, I'm afraid you're wrong. I'm not here to discuss that thirty million loan with you, but I'm here for that twenty million dollar loan."
"Two million loans?" Jorge and his family were once again stunned.
'What does this mean? Why did Travis and Ford both state the twenty million dollar loan problem? The loan had been disbursed for over a month. What needs to be discussed?'
Jorge quickly said, "Manager Jensen, the loan has been divided into twenty-four installments, and each payment is one million dollars, including principal and interest. We just paid off the first installment a few days ago. No problem, so what to talk about?"
Ford laughed and shook his head. "Mr Zea, what do you mean there's no problem? The problem is huge."
Because of this, Ford opened another page and pointed to another term. "The cooperation of parties A and B is based on trust. Suppose the Zea family commits any illegal act that damages its own credit and reputation, in this case, the, Golden Peony Bank may also terminate the contract and make mandatory purchases of the land on the South Hill Plains for twenty million under this contract."
Over the next three minutes, Ford continued to demonstrate a number of terms in the contract, and all of these provisions were related to the purchase of Zea family land on the South Hill Plains. The overall conclusion was that if the Zea family could raise twenty million in two days, they would still lose the land.
Each of these terms was a pre-installed trap for the Zea family. Now, no matter what means the Zea family used, no one could solve this problem. The land on the South Hill Plains will be sold to Golden Peony Bank for twenty million dollars.
This contract was tailor-made by someone Ford hired. Everything was written manually in black ink, not giving the Zea family a chance to change their luck!
After outlining the requirements, Ford closed the document with a bright smile and said meaningfully. "Mr Zea, that's the point. If everything goes well, I'll bring some people in two days to sign the land ownership papers!"
The forehead of every member of the Zea family broke out in cold sweat. The meeting room was silent for three seconds.
Three seconds later, Jorge regained consciousness.
Bam!
He slammed the table in front of him. His face was pale with anger and his body was trembling. "The land on the South Hill Plains was worth sixty million on the market. How dare you try to take my land for twenty million? You must be kidding me!"
Because of this quarrel, Ford pulled back the polite smile he had spread at the beginning. His expression was now a dead red, then he spoke in a cold tone, "Your family signed the agreement, and this is your company seal. We are only doing the work under this contract. Mr Zea, do I look like I'm joking with you?"
The anger of Jackson, Lilian, and the others also exploded. Iris was stunned for a while before turning to Travis.
"Travis Jensen, what does this mean? What are you guys trying to do?"
Travis grinned. "What else? The reputation of your Zea Group is very bad at the moment. I don't think you guys can even raise two million, let alone twenty. That's why my third uncle spontaneously carried out his duties according to contract."
The buzz... A buzzing sound exploded in Iris' mind. In an instant, he seemed to have realized something.
"Travis Jensen, I'm your girlfriend! How dare you cooperate with third uncle to deceive the family?"
Travis grunts. "What do you mean by fraud? Oh, Iris, you're the one who signed this contract yourself. I remember how happy you were when you did. We may take legal action if you continue to defame us!"
