The Hero

Chapter 50 The Certainty He Brings

Matthew knows nothing about money. Similarly, he did not understand how Odello Corp was financially targeted when the company was not listed. The deputy director of finance explained everything to him, but everything sounded like a foreign language to Matthew. He cannot be bothered to digest it.

“You are the expert here. I'll leave this for you. I'll believe anything you suggest! ”

The deputy finance director was quite touched. “I won't let you down, Mr. Odel!”

After the pledge, the deputy finance director suggested that Matthew withdraw all company funds to deal with the possibility of a larger financial attack in the future.

Matthew sent instructions at once to direct all funds that might be withdrawn. His secretary asked softly from the side, "Master. Odell, tire raw material stock, the amount is quite a lot.”

In a way, it was the life and death of Odello Corp. Instead, it had ripped off the Beacon Tyre. Although Matthew refused to miss such an opportunity, he had to agree. “Sell everything in exchange for funding so we can fully focus on dealing with this crisis. Whatever you do, don't sell to Beacon or Midnoon!”

The Secretary agrees and rushes to delegate the task to the relevant staff.

Half an hour later, Larry of Grazin' Tractor showed up at one of Odello Corp's warehouses. After haggling back and forth with the person in charge, all the raw materials were sold to Larry at a price 20% lower than the market price. They made the agreement in writing as well, signed and sealed, so that it was legally bound.

After the agreement was signed, Larry made a logistical arrangement to transport the materials while the person in charge of the warehouse contacted Matthew.

"Trs. Odell, we have sold all raw materials of tires according to your instructions. Payment is made, but we have to give 20% discount%.

Matthew breathed out hearing the news. “It's okay, as long as we manage to sell everything, the discount is negligible. What is more urgent is that we face what we are facing now. Right, who did you sell it to? Not Beacon or Midnoon, right?”

The answer is negative. The person in charge reported that he had followed Matthew's instructions and instead sold the material to Grazin' Tractors.

Matthew felt the name was familiar as if he had met somewhere, but he didn't care because his priority was to fend off financial attacks. He hung up the phone for a while and told the deputy finance director that we had all the necessary funds available again  .

Hearing that, the vice finance director frowned confusedly. Matthew asked

want to know, "What's the problem? Don't we have enough funds?”

The man shook his head. "No, not like that. It's just that they seem to behave a bit strange. They showed signs of going all-out in the previous battle, attacking all the businesses under our company, but everything is calm now. ”

Matthew didn't understand what he meant, so the deputy director of finance explained more simply, "It looks like they're trying to scare us."

"Then?" Matthew asked.

“Truly nothing happened after that which is why I was confused. It was as if the sky had darkened and thunder rumbled some time ago, but all the dark clouds suddenly disappeared and there was not a single drop of rain ." the deputy finance director replied.

Matthew finally understood. "So basically, I was anxious and panicked all day and prepared for an attack that didn't happen?!"

Matthew was angry. He was afraid and worried for nothing. Apparently nothing happened. But there was nothing he could say to the deputy director of finance. The last one made no mistake. He had prepared them just in case.

Matthews confused. And the thought of 20% of the lost funds for the raw materials of the tires upset him. Then, his phone rang, indicating an unknown local number.

Before Matthew could say anything, the person on the other end of the phone spoke first.

"Trs. Matthew Odel's? I am the head of the purchasing department of Beacon Tires. Our boss asked me to thank Odello Corp. for getting raw materials that cost 20% less than the market price and save more than 300 thousand dollars.

“Bos we also mentioned that to show our sincere gratitude, he has decided to throw a mercy party for you at Dum-O-Mattie-Diner tonight and has invited you to join us. Come on, Mr. Odell. We are all at Beacon Tires looking forward to your presence!”

Matthew said nothing during the phone call. Not until the call is cut that he's disconnected. He finally remembered who Grazin' Tractors— was - they were Beacon Tires' biggest customer according to a report Jade sent!

In his office, Matthew roars and destroys his phone in anger. He had repeated himself like a broken cassette to not sell the material to Jade, but he had finally managed to get it.

It was a loss of over 300 thousand dollars. Although it was nothing to Odello Corp., it was a huge thorn in its side. Matthew had dug a trap for Jade, wanting to bury her inside, but ended up jumping into it himself and instead becoming her stepping stone.

That thought alone made Matthew want to explode. He slapped his fist at the table in anger. How dare they say Dum-O-Mattie-Diner-Mattie is short for Matthew, they basically call him a doll!

Paying more than 300 thousand dollars on behalf of others, being called and ridiculed, even called a fake. It's vexing. This is not the way to do something. They are bullies…

Jade had the same problem. Returning to the office in a huff, he felt annoyed. How could they raise the price and do it just for his company? He could not even reach a price agreement together with them. They are bullies…

As he grumbled to himself, the head of the buying department limped.

"MST. Odell, Mr. Kersey is great. He gave us raw materials and saved us over 300 thousand dollars. He's the one!”

Jade seemed lost, not understanding the situation. He had just returned from a negotiation where he failed. Where did Javier get the raw materials  ? 

He rushes to Javier's office to ask him and a look of amazement is flashed on his face when he is told the solution, “Javier, you are great! I'm just wondering how we're going to solve this problem and you're going to solve it. That, and also gave a hard slap across Matthew Odell's face!”

Jade doesn't try to seduce Javier. He really thought that the man with his tactics was brilliant.

Javier did not receive the compliment but replied with a smile, “That has nothing to do with me. It was Miss Gold who managed to achieve that.”

Jade didn't say anything else but she was very aware—Mary Jane should not be underestimated in this achievement, but it was definitely Javier's idea. Moreover, if not for Javier, Mary Jane would not have joined Beacon Tires and thus would have helped them today. Basically, Jade is still very grateful to Javier, grateful that he took care of her and for the trust he gave her ...
