Konami, who had a negative impression on Wil due to her mother's constant undermining of her boyfriend, was also taken aback.
Glancing at her mother, she proudly said, "now that we are in partnership with the Star Group, we received a handful of projects but our focus is on the upcoming Wells tower. Our firm got the opportunity to work together with Alien Architectures to design the tower. After all, it's a 4-billion Yuan project."
"I see." Wil nodded and became silent for a few seconds before he explained, "Well, I intend to shift our headquarters to Leafway city. We are planning to build a headquarters similar to Texel town, but much bigger since it also contains separate villas and dorms for employees and their families.
Then, I remembered that Konami-san owns an architecture firm. So, I thought of asking you to join this project but I guess you will be busy."
"Shifting the headquarters?" Daniel, who was looking for a topic to converse with his son-in-law, finally found it and joined the conversation. "Then, what about the current one? Are you selling it?"
Wil waved his hand, "No. Like I said earlier, our company really isn't facing any financial troubles. We have plenty of funds to do it. So, I intend to convert into a mixed commercial and residential building."
"You said it will be bigger than Texel town, right? That would mean the costs will be higher than at least 4 billion Yuan, right?" Reisa didn't miss any chance that she finds to undermine her second daughter who chose to stay with a mediocre man against her wishes.
Konami narrowed her eyes.
Wil realized her intentions but still, he couldn't help but nod. "It's a ten billion dollar project. That was our early estimate. But, I wanted to employ more workers and finish it as early as possible. So, I bet another couple of billion will be spent more."
For a few seconds, the dining hall fell silent. The servants who were standing behind them stiffened in shock. Thankfully, no one is swallowing the food at that moment or else, they would have coughed nonstop for a while.
"Hmm, what happened?" Feeling gazes on him from all sides, Wil looked at everyone.
Almost everyone thought this squanderer really doesn't know the value of money at all. Thinking of how he spent the money back at a world auction, even Akiko thought the same. Only Reisa and Kiyumi know the real wealth of Wil. So, they weren't that shocked like the rest.
Reisa was a bit against the idea as she needs his money to be spent on meaningful things like for example in elections, not to be squandered for something like this. Still, she didn't speak her true feeling as their relationship isn't that strong yet.
Looking at how awkward her mother and Konami looked, Kiyumi thought of changing the topic. "What's going on in War…"
As Wil abruptly turned his head towards her, she stopped talking. She remembered Wil's earlier text message where he requested her not to talk about the game, especially his identity being Time Traveler in front of his siblings.
Since she didn't tell the same to her sisters yet, Kiyumi didn't continue it and quickly changed her words. "I mean your war with Texel group. Now that the accused was caught, you might lose the case. As for the two billion dollars, if you file a lawsuit against late Jonathan, along with the assets, I think the court might order the bank that holds the money to return it to you as this is a private loan from your ex-CEO to Ark Bank's ex-Chairman.
But, if that happens, the Scarlet group might become the enemy of the public.
So, my advice is to invest at least a billion Yuan in the bank and save it from not getting delisted from the stock exchange.
Then, later, after you receive the money, you should also invest them into the bank and raise the share value to a considerable level before convincing the Federation to take over the bank and turn it into a public sector bank.
However, you need to have at least 51% shares before you do that. Well, ex-chairman Jonathan has a 32% share in the bank. After filing the case, you will already possess them and by now, most people must have already dumped the shares. You can just acquire everything as much as you can and sell 51% to the Federation.
Once it becomes a public sector bank, the Federation will fund the money to the bank, raising its value considerably.
That way, within no time, all of your money might be recovered or might even profit from it; the Federation might not have to pay the deposit insurance to the bank customers; In return, you will also gain popularity. Everyone will be happy in the end."
In reality, she doesn't want to tell him and let Wil realize the issue by himself but due to her earlier slip-up, she couldn't help but point out the situation, which led her to tell him the solution too.
Reisa wasn't happy that her eldest helped Wil without even being asked for advice.
Meanwhile, Daniel was impressed by how insightful his daughter is. As for Wil, while he too thought Kiyumi was as impressive as ever, he still didn't bother to process everything and stated, "Actually, I intended to turn he bank into private and then, acquire all the remaining shares."
"Eh?" Once again, the listeners were shocked to find this Richie rich is even intending to buy a whole bank instead of trying to recover his money.
Meanwhile, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law resumed their own little talk.
Despite hearing confident answers from Akiko, Scarlet felt like the girl doesn't have her own personality, goals, or anything, well, except for the things like examinations, seminars, science fairs, competitions, etc...
She felt pity for the girl's upbringing.
After thinking for a while, Scarlet threw out an unexpected question while whispering into her ear. "What do you think of Wil? Do you like him?"
Almost instantly, Akiko's ears flushed a deep, hot red. She stuttered while not being able to answer properly, "I… I… I…"
Wil and the others who were keeping on this pair for a while wondered what happened.
Scarlet patted her back with a grin, "Alright, girl… No pressure here… You can give me that answer, later…" Watching Akiko's genuine reaction made Scarlet feel at ease in her heart.
