From A Prisoner To A Big Short’s Inheritor

Chapter 143

“Everyone, here is a report issued by the Blueville’s Barrett Institute. Please take a look.”

Leonard took out a few pieces of paper from the folder next to him and asked Gracia to pass them on.

Soon, everyone got Leonard’s report.

At first, everyone was a little confused and did not know what Leonard was showing them.

But when they saw the words “Awakening the vitality of senescent cells” and “Expected to extend the human lifespan by ten

to thirty years” written on it, everyone’s eyes suddenly widened, and their breathing became rapid.

“Mr. Santos, is this true? If true, being able to extend life span by ten to thirty years would be a miracle.”

Even Waylon could not believe it.

“Yes, how can this ointment be so magical? Mr. Santos, you’re not conned, are you?”

Everyone shook their heads in disapproval.

They were indeed excited just now, but after calming down, they knew that this was completely impossible.

“I believe it.”

At this moment, Ethan spoke.

“I know the Barrett Institute. The director, Barrett Bailey, is known as the White–robed Medicine King. He is the top miracle doctor in Griffinland.

“Many of the products he developed were classified as confidential by Griffinland. I only learned about his deeds by chance.

“Since it’s a report issued by the Barrett Institute, it cannot be fake.”

After Ethan finished speaking, everyone’s eyes became filled with passion.

Gracia’s magnificent chest was heaving, too.

She finally knew where Leonard’s confidence came from.

Once this product came out, the world would go crazy.

After all, everyone wanted to live longer.

Even if those young people did not care, what about the old people in their fifties to eighties?

Among all the wealthy families, which family did not have such elderly?

Plus, these people were the real leaders of their families.

It was not difficult to imagine what this product meant to them once it was launched.

Furthermore, for women, awakening the vitality of cells meant the aging of their faces would be delayed too.

“It seems that I will not only become the president of a 120 billion dollar company but also the president of the biggest company in Griffinland.”

Gracia thought fervently in her heart.

Moreover, as the president of the company, she had priority to experience such a product.

Ethan and the others‘ eyes also became passionate.

They were not young anymore, and this kind of product was simply priceless to them.

The room was quiet for about eight minutes before a burst of noise broke out.

Leonard looked at the excited people and said with a smile, “The product is still under research. I have decided that all the 150 billion dollars you have invested in Santos Group will be used for the research and development of this ointment. Do any of you have objections?”

“Of course not.”

Waylon was the first to speak.

“Yes, we all listen to you, Mr. Santos.”

A wealthy man also looked excited and said.

At this moment, Ethan suddenly stood up, hesitated, and said, “Mr. Santos, do you think you can allow me to invest another 10 billion in Santos Group?”

Upon hearing Ethan’s words, the eyes of everyone present lit up.

“Yes, Mr. Santos, I also want to invest another four billion dollars,” Waylon said.

Reg also said excitedly, “Mr. Santos, please give us this opportunity. I will also invest another four billion dollars.”

“Mr. Dewey, I remember that you almost emptied your cash last time you invested 10 billion dollars. Where did you get the money to invest again?”

Leonard remembered that Cherry did not even have the money to bid for the Saffron that she wanted so badly.

Reg immediately said loudly, “It’s just four billion dollars. I’ll get it for sure.”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Santos. A product like this is 100% profitable, so of course, I’m going to invest my every last penny in it.”

Seeing everyone’s eager eyes, Leonard nodded.

“Since you are all so enthusiastic, I can let you invest again. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“But the shares cannot be the same as before. This time, 10 billion dollars will only get you 1% of the shares. What do you think?”

Leonard was doing the right thing. When he had not discovered the black ointment in the past, giving them 5% of the shares of Santos Group for their 10 billion dollar investment was normal.

However, now that he had the black ointment, it would not be cost–effective to still give them so many shares.

In business, everything should be transparent.

“No problem.”

Ethan agreed immediately.

Others also nodded.

“Okay, that’s the end of the meeting. By the way, who of you has time at five o’clock in the afternoon? Accompany me to do something,” Leonard suddenly said.

“I have time,” Ethan spoke first.

“Me too.”

“Mr. Santos, please take me with you too.”

Of course, all these people had a ton of things to do every day. However, no matter how busy they were, establishing a good relationship with Leonard was their top priority right now. After all, Leonard would be making them so much money.

Leonard originally only wanted to recruit one or two people to support the scene, but to his surprise, all these thirteen wealthy men were free.

He nodded immediately and said, “Okay, then it’s settled.”

“At four–thirty in the afternoon, everyone will gather at the Santos Group. We will be at school on time at five o’clock…”

In the morning, at 10:40, thirteen investors walked out of the Santos Group.

Gracia immediately convened a meeting with the Santos Group employees to boost their morale and asked the public relations team to publicize the additional investment by Ethan and others.

In an instant, the entire Santos Group was in a frenzy.

Not only did the feared bankruptcy not come, but they got an additional 40 billion dollar investment.

This meant that the Santos Group’s market value had reached 174 billion dollars.

There was a burst of cheers from all over the Santos Group.

However, in the crowd, Kenia’s face instantly turned pale.

The Santos Group’s stock was about to skyrocket, but before, she had asked her family to sell off all its stocks.

At this moment, Kenia really wanted to slap herself in the face.

She took out her phone and made a call with trembling hands.

“Dad, we were all wrong…

In a private hospital.

Melanie listened to the report from her subordinates.

“Madam Rodgers, those thirteen investors have left the Santos Tower, and news of their withdrawal of capital will surely

come soon.”

Melanie sneered.

“That’s their consequence for daring to go against the Rodgers family.”

However, very soon, she could not laugh anymore. A piece of news quickly leaped to the top of the list of Newden’s trending

news like a rocket.

[Ethan Watts, Chairman of Fox Bank, Waylon Lambert, Chairman of Newden Chamber of Commerce; and multiple others. have decided to myest additional capital in the Santos Group. The accumulative amount is as high as 40 billion dollars.]

“What? How can this be?”

Upon seeing this news, Melanie’s eyes suddenly widened, and her face began to turn red with rage.

“Not only did the thirteen investors not withdraw their capital, but they all invested again? What’s going on?”

At the same time, as the news spread, it once again caused a sensation in the entire Newden.
