Chapter 13 Y*u’ll Regret This

Sukie Lane bit her lips in hesitation and nodded.

Alex Cohen was shocked and shook his head.

"Sukie Lane, you can't even sense the sarcasm in those words?"

“What do you mean? I just agreed...”

"Scram!"

Alex scolded Sukie, walked around her, and went into Hudson Designs.

Felix Moore greeted him and smiled teasingly.

"Brother Alex, did Sister-In-Law make you too 'f*cked up' last night that you overslept?"

I wish!

Alex laughed bitterly and held back from saying what was on his mind.

"First, let’s get down to business!"

"Good. Hudson Lowe has officially decided to abandon the company, so now’s the perfect time to take it over!"

“So what are you waiting for? Let’s go!"

Alex grinned and followed Felix into Hudson's office.

Winson Tall, who was bored with smoking in the public smoking area, saw Alex and bounced up at once.

"What are you doing here again?"

With his hands behind his back, Alex said nonchalantly, "You better be polite to me, or you'll regret it."

"Oh my! I’m scared! Alex Cohen, who do you think you are?"

"You forgot so soon? I'm the godfather you'll never get!"

Once Winson heard this, he wilted.

Alex did not bother to talk nonsense with Winson and pushed open Hudson's office door.

Hudson's confident business plan had ended badly after 3 years. He was already in a bad mood, but when he saw Alex, the "little boy toy" who had a good life without having to work for it, Hudson got even more unbalanced.

“Village boys really have no manners at all."

Alex shook his head, pulled up a chair, and sat down. He calmly said, "Minus 10 percent."

"Did you forget to take your medication when you went out or did your brain get squished by the door? 10 percent of what? Who told you to sit down? Mind who you are and stand up!"

"Another 10 percent reduction."

"You’re sick! If you have something to say, say it fast!"

"I heard you failed in your venture? Hahaha… Sorry, I couldn't resist. Hahaha…”

"Are you here to laugh at me?"

Alex put away his smile and said seriously, "Congratulations, you answered correctly."

Hudson Lowe almost vomited blood and pointed at Alex's nose. He shouted, "You…”

Slap!

Alex slapped his bank card on the table and said, "I want to acquire your company."

"What?"

Hudson's throat clogged up and retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted. He responded, "Are you serious?"

"As long as the price is right, I'm willing to take over your company."

"No problem. Give me 2 million and the company is yours."

"I only have 1 million. Take it or leave it."

Before Hudson could respond, Winson came rushing in and said angrily, "Alex Cohen, this is a company, not just a few houses! Why don't you just rob us if you wanted to take it for 1 million? Get out of here! Mr. Lowe, he's clearly trying to take advantage of the situation. You mustn't…”

"Shut up! Get the hell out of here!"

Hudson stared fiercely at Winson.

Although usually, Winson's warm flattery was nice to hear, this could not be taken seriously. It was useless. Money was still more practical.

If the company went bankrupt, he would not get a single penny.

It was not easy to catch an ignoramus. Not to mention making a profit, but at least he could take back his capital. How could he miss this opportunity?

Hudson Lowe blew Winson Tall away and immediately agreed.

"Alex Cohen, we’ll go with it. One million!"

Alex shook his head.

"One million was the price I expected, and after reducing it twice by 10 percent just now, you’re left with 800,000. Although you lost 200,000 since you’ve experienced the feeling of 'words carry an enormous weight’, I think it's worth it. What do you think?"

"Alex Cohen, you...don't bully others too much!"

"Another reduction…”

"Alright, alright. Just 800,000."

Hudson's heart was bleeding. It must not be reduced any further.

Otherwise, his wallet could not stand it and his heart could not take it either.

Alex put away his bank card and got up.

"Wait until the agreement is signed and the formalities are done, then I'll immediately give you the money."

"Don't go! Let’s do it now!"

Hudson was afraid that Alex would go back on his word. He immediately drew up an agreement to sign with Alex and personally cooperated with him to complete the various formalities for the transfer of the company.

At 5:00 pm, they returned to the office again.

As soon as Hudson sat down on the boss chair, Felix's roar sounded in his ears.

"Who told you to sit down? Mind who you are and stand up!"

"I…”

Before he received the money, Hudson dared not speak out in anger and stood up reluctantly.

Alex slowly walked over and sat down on the comfy boss chair. He lifted his feet and spun around twice with both hands on the table. He nodded his head and said, "Hudson Lowe, although your business skills are average, your eye for picking furniture is really good...Okay, I’ll transfer the money."

"Fine fine."

Hudson eagerly handed over the bank card that he had already grabbed in his hand. After he watched Alex transfer the money with his own eyes, his body and mind relaxed a great deal. He even began to pack his personal belongings.

A moment later, Winson Tall came in again and bowed to Alex.

"Mr...Mr. Cohen, I'm sorry. Just now I was too straightforward and should not have said those things. Please, Mr. Chen, don’t hold a grudge and stoop to my level…”

"How could I?"

Alex waved his hand and suddenly said sharply, "You're fired."

"Huh?"

What had to come eventually came, which was why Winson strongly opposed Hudson’s transfer of the company to Alex.

Hudson Lowe packed up his things and patted Winson’s shoulder.

"It’s fine if you’re fired. This company won't last long anyway. Alex Cohen, I'm not going to keep it from you now that everything’s done. I know the company's situation better than anyone else. If you can't get a new business, the company will die. Your 800,000 will be used to support my new business. To be honest, I really didn't expect that there would be a fool like you in this world...Hahaha! I'm sorry, I can't help it…”

Winson was relieved when he heard this.

"This means that I'm out of the sea of misery?"

Alex laughed and said to Hudson, "We'll see how it goes."

"On the day the company goes bankrupt, I'll come to congratulate you. Bye!"

Hudson turned around and carried the box in his arms.

Just then, a middle-aged man who was wearing gold-framed glasses appeared at the door. The man knocked on the door and asked, "Excuse me, who is Mr. Alex Cohen?"

Alex quickly stood up and replied, "I’m Alex Cohen. May I ask who you are?"

"Hello!"

The man with glasses quickly walked over and shook hands with Alex. He smiled and said, "I'm the Deputy Director of Woltman Real Estate Development LLC’s Engineering Department under the Wyatt Corporation. My name is Raymond Zane. Nice to meet you. I came here today uninvited because I want to discuss working with you. Please excuse me if I'm intruding…”

"So soon?"

Alex did not expect that Wayne Larson was so efficient.

As for the others present, they were petrified.

Hudson Lowe, in particular, who had been in business for several years, did not miss a trip to the Wyatt Corporation just to pull in business.

In the end, he still did not get any business even after sweet-talking and was just shy of kneeling. What was more, he had never even met a manager above the level of a project manager. Now, Raymond Zane, who he had dreamt of meeting, had taken the initiative to find Alex Cohen and even came here to talk about cooperation.

It was just talk of cooperation, but through Raymond Zane's words, it seemed like he was even begging for Alex Cohen's cooperation.

Was this a f*cking reverse script?

Raymond was the bigger party, the client's boss!

"How come I didn't get this kind of treatment when I was sitting in Alex’s position?"

Hudson's jaw dropped as he thought about it.

Alex was the first to react. He greeted Raymond Zane and offered him a seat. He asked, "Director Zane, may I ask what cooperation you would like to discuss?"

"It's like this..."

Raymond took out a file from the briefcase he was carrying and continued, "Our company is preparing to develop 100 fully renovated commercial units in the soon-to-be-completed Greenville, and I'd like to give this project to your company. The price is negotiable."

"A hundred units?"

Even though Alex had mental preparation, he was still shocked.

Hudson Lowe was weak in the legs and almost did not stand firm.

Since the opening of Hudson Designs, the business it received was usually singular units. The largest business they got was just two units of houses from the same owner. However, Alex Cohen, f*cking started with 100 units! The volume of this one business was more than the combined business in the 3 years Hudson had been running the company!

They were all men, but how could there be such a big difference between them?
