Chapter 30
These relatives from the Lawson family wished that they could get their hands on more of Hayley Pharmaceuticals‘ shares.
Hayley nodded. That would work too. She needed to raise funds anyway. This way, she could help her relatives get rich at the same time. So, why not?
“Hayley, how much funds are you short of?” William queried.
“Around 1.2 billion dollars.”
“1.2 billion dollars?”
The Lawsons were shocked. They only had assets of approximately a few million dollars at most. How were they going to gather that much money?
William was taken aback too. Even if he were to put all his savings in, he would only have 100 million dollars worth of funds.
However, the value of Hayley Pharmaceuticals was sure to have an upsurge of tenfold. The more they invested, the more returns they would get.
William had already mentioned this to Fernando Porter, his father. Fernando was also feeling optimistic about Hayley Pharmaceuticals.
Thus, William was prepared to put in Fernando’s savings as well. He could use them to purchase Hayley Pharmaceuticals‘ shares.
Besides, he had greater ambitions. He wanted to become the largest shareholder of Hayley Pharmaceuticals. He wanted to be in control of this company that had infinite potential.
William had been attentive toward Hayley. He wasn’t doing so just because he coveted her beauty. He was also scheming to take over her company.
In particular, he was eyeing Hayley Pharmaceuticals‘ trump card–their cough medicine. Its efficacy was the best against all similar products on the market. Its potential was limitless!
“1.2 billion dollars. That’s a lot of money. We’re unable to gather that much,” the Lawsons grumbled.
“How about this?”
William spoke up. “I’ll put in 1.1 billion dollars to purchase Hayley Pharmaceuticals‘ shares. At the same time, I’ll be able to help Hayley out.”
1.1 billion dollars?
The Lawson family members were flabbergasted.
Wasn’t William being too supportive? He was forking out more than 90% of funds individually. He was being extremely helpful to Hayley.
Chapte 30
“You’re amazing, Mr. Porter. You have such deep pockets. You are truly Hayley’s benefactor!” Charles exclaimed.
“Not bad indeed. Mr. Porter’s on another level.” Cole nodded in agreement.
Maya was smiling from ear to ear. “Hayley, I’m touched. Once your new factory is ready, we’ll sort things out between you and Mr. Porter.”
Hayley was very touched too. In a sweet voice, she said, “Thank you, Mr. Porter.”
William reveled in the praises sung by the Lawsons. He waved his hand in a cool manner. “It’s not much. I’m just glad that I am able to help Hayley. The rest of your Lawsons can put together the remaining 100
million dollars. It should be enough then.”
“Alright. I will put in five million!” Charles was the first to initiate. He was chipping in with all of his funds. After all, this was a chance to get rich. The more he invested, the more he would be able to earn.
“I’ll invest three million!”
“Nine million dollars for me!”
“I will put in all I have. I will invest 50 million dollars!” Maya shouted as she slammed on the table.
The Lawsons roared with laughter. The living room’s atmosphere was one that was full of joy.
Wyatt smiled too. Hayley Pharmaceuticals was probably going to close down in less than two months. These people… They would probably lose everything.
Especially William Porter. His 1.1 billion dollars was all going to be in vain.
Just then, everyone looked toward Derek Lawson, Hayley’s grandfather.
To be frank, he wasn’t familiar with shares. He had no other choice but to express his support for Hayley by forking out all he had.
“I will put in six million dollars. This is all the savings that I have,” Derek explained.
Wyatt furrowed his brows. He would want Derek to keep his money so that he could enjoy his old age.
But, he was using all his money to invest in Hayley Pharmaceuticals. This was no different from throwing his money away. How was he going to get by in the future?
Thus, Wyatt said, “Grandpa Derek, you should think twice about it. There are risks involved in the stock market. You shouldn’t invest so much into…”
