Chapter 614
Chapter 0614 Jonathan's command took immediate effect.
Within just two days, almost all the mining bosses in the entire northwest were stirred up.
The phones at the Wafford Mining Corporation Industry Department were ringing off the hook! "Miss Chesire, Mister Kane, something's gone wrong!" The next noon, the newly appointed manager of the Wafford Mining Corporation rushed into the general manager's office in a fluster.
Seeing Alexander and Amber sitting on the sofa, he was flushed with urgency.
"Mister Hansen from Lyndar, Mister Carnigan from Yonderfell, Mister Hest from Zitherwood, and Mister Ymir from Magellan City... Just this morning, our department received over fifty calls. Previous orders were all canceled, and they won't cooperate with us again! "And the planned release of copper ore, iron ore, rare earth ore... Over two million tons of ore in total, all release plans are on hold. If we don't act quickly, our funding chain will soon
break!" He was genuinely panicking.
The manager before them had been serving the Chesire family for over a decade and was undoubtedly a senior figure in the New Chesire Group. He was exceptionally capable, so Amber specifically brought him over to manage Wafford Mining Corporation.
However, such severe business obstacles on his first day in office were unprecedented in his over 10 years of career! "Mister Ackerson, calm down a bit." Alexander remained calm, gave a slight smile to Amber beside him, then turned to Mister Ackerson. He poured a cup of hot tea himself and smiled. "Here, have a seat and some tea." Tea? How could he even drink it?! ‘Mister Kane, there's no time for tea. I'm so anxious my mouth is dry!" Mister Ackerson was sweating profusely, stomping in place. "l just counted. The total \
number of bosses terminating cooperation with us has exceeded ninety! "If we can't come up with a solution, our ore will be stuck in the warehouse, even if we've mined graphite! Once the funding chain breaks, we won't be able to pay workers’ wages, and we'll have to report losses to the headquarters of the New Chesire Group to fill the deficit! "Mister Kane, Manager Chesire! With both of you here, the blame for the losses won't fall on me, but we can't afford this loss. Why did this happen? It shouldn't have!" No. This was rather expected.
"Mister Ackerson." Alexander smiled as he stood up and gently pulled Mister Ackerson to sit down. He pushed the tea toward him and chuckled softly. "After arriving in the northwest, you must've visited the warehouse, right? What do you think of the quality of our ore?" The quality? Of course, it's unquestionable!
"The warehouse was indeed visited, and the quality report was examined," Mister Ackerson said despondently, a face filled with resignation. "Even if you look across the country, the quality of our ore ranks among the best. We used to even have contacts with the military, supplying ore for weapon manufacturing. We even issued a quality certification specifically for that.
"And that's why I'm even more puzzled. With such good quality and reasonable prices, why would those bosses terminate cooperation? Where exactly did the problem arise?" No problem was the biggest problem! Beside him, Amber blinked her beautiful eyes rapidly, suddenly realizing. "No, I get it now.
"Since both quality and price are not the issue, then the problem must lie with the people! If my guess is correct, someone is definitely sabotaging us in the shadows, maliciously cutting off our ore sales.
"Someone who harbors hostility towards us, and they must possess significant power...
The Walbeer family. It must be the Walbeer family!" ‘How clever!" Alexander praised inwardly, gently holding Amber's delicate hand before turning to Mister Ackerson, smiling softly.
"Now that we know it's the Walbeer family, there's no need for the colleagues in the business department to be nervous. Let everyone relax and work as usual.
"Furthermore, if any other bosses demand termination of cooperation, there's no need to persuade them. A few collaborators are insignificant in the grand scheme of things!" What? I Mister Ackerson was dumbfounded, and even Amber wore a bewildered expression, wondering if she misheard.
Terminating cooperation without persuasion, relaxing, and working as usual? ‘With ore sales stagnant, the financial chain facing rupture, and the business department in dire straits, how could anyone possibly
relax? Does Mister Kane even know how difficult the current situation is?!" "Don't worry," Mister Kane chuckled, lightly patting Mister Ackerson's shoulder. * Ackerson, you and Amber arrange it. Get the colleagues in the business department to prepare themselves. Orders will soon come pouring in." With that said, he got up from the sofa and walked out of the office with a relaxed expression.
"Umm..." Mister Ackerson glanced at Mister Kane's retreating figure, then turned to Amber as if trying to discern something from her expression.
"No need to look at me. I don't know either," Amber blinked her eyes, staring at the closed office door intently.
After a long while, she turned back to Mister Ackerson and spoke softly.
"Whatever Alexander intends to do, we just need to unconditionally trust him. If he says he can get the orders, then he definitely can!"
