King's Awakening

Jones Group.

A lingering gloom shrouded over Sherry Jones, making her seem consumed by a sense of foreboding distress.

At this moment, staff were constantly rushing into her office and reporting the real-time market situation.

“Mr. Jones, according to incomplete statistics, all our products have been pulled from the shelves in eighteen large, fifty-six medium and over a hundred small markets and supermarkets in Sayon!

The only places that haven’t moved to remove our products are the largest Thaw Mall and a few small markets in the suburbs. But, at this rate, they will pull our products from the shelves by noon at the earliest, or before the end of the workday at the latest!

Now, throughout Sayon, you can’t find our products anywhere. Some consumers have noticed something is wrong and have already begun returning their purchases.” One of the data analysts reported in distress, sweat dripping from his forehead.

At this time, Mori Jones and Elijah Bailey, who were in Sherry’s office, hung looks of horror on their faces after hearing these shocking numbers.

In just one night, nearly two hundred shops across Sayon had all targeted the Jones Group.

Yes, and it was solely targeted at the products of one company, the Jones Group. There were no issues with any other similar products.

This turn of events was hard for everyone at the Jones Group to accept.

“Sherry, I also received many calls from our distributors this morning. The situation is pretty dire; the retailers are instructing them to return all their stock.

If they don’t, the retailers will just toss the products out onto the streets.

Many of our distributors currently have hundreds of thousands, even millions of inventory on hand and they can’t sell a single unit.” Mori Jiang frowned as she spoke.

Distributors are responsible for distributing their products. But now, the products are all being accumulated in their hands. It goes without saying how great their capital pressure now is.

Hearing this information had Sherry furrowing her brow, feeling an unsettling sensation rushing up from within her.

There was someone definitely targeting their Jones Group from behind the scenes.

And the most likely culprits were none other than Hans Weiden. The Jones family and Woods family simply did not have this sort of power.

However, precisely because she knew this, Sherry was feeling extremely uneasy at this moment.

Hans Weiden finally couldn’t resist making a move personally, and when he did, it was a crushing blow!

This move essentially choked off all sales channels for the Jones Group.

The factories were operating daily, and new products were being produced every day. If these products couldn’t be sold, the inventory would just continue to grow, eventually suffocating the Jones Group.

And the two billion goods they bought back yesterday were now the Jones Group’s biggest headache.

If they can’t sell these goods, the loss would not just be in the tens of millions. It could bankrupt the Jones Group in an instant, leaving them in debt.

As everyone watched this two billion worth of goods about to collapse onto the Jones Group’s own hands, everyone started to worry, just like Sherry.

Elijah Bailey, in his old age, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go out fighting energetically: “Miss, I’m going to ask them for some answers. This really is absurd!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with our products. They were selling just fine before. Why would they pull it off the shelves just like that? I will go confront them…”

But at that moment, Sherry directly stopped the impulsive Elijah Bailey.

“Elijah, if anyone is going, it should be me, not you. Try to find out who else is behind this, aside from Hans Weiden.” Sherry instructed.

She knew that while the Weiden family was one of the top wealthy families in Sayon, they specialized in different areas, and their products weren’t in the same category as hers.

The fact that so many malls obey him at the same time must mean there’s someone else pulling the strings!

Although I’m not sure if we can turn the current situation around, we’re in a situation of making the best of a bad job.

Upon hearing this, Elijah Bailey nodded and immediately started to spread his connections to understand the situation.

On the other side, when everybody in the Jones Group was as restless as ants on a hot pan, in the mansion of the Weiden Family, Hans Weiden was happily sipping red wine with another young man.

They both seemed to be of similar age, around twenty-seven or eight years old, with an air of irreverence on their faces.

“Mr. Weiden, I’ve done what you asked of me. Now, there’s not a single product of the Jones Group to be seen in all of Sayon!

I believe that in a few days, the Jones Group will not be able to hold up and will go bankrupt!

Mr. Weiden, this time, I went against my grandfather’s wishes to help you. You can’t forget about your brother.” At this point, the young man sitting across from Hans Weiden said with a playful smile.

Hans Weiden, after hearing this, took a light sip of the red wine in his cup, and then looked at this young man who was about the same age as him.

This man’s name is Dominic Anderson, the heir to the Green Family, one of the top tycoons in Sayon, and in reality, the real shopping mall tycoon!

They originally made their fortune from real estate, but later they thought that relying solely on real estate wasn’t stable enough for income, so they directly started developing shopping malls as well.

As a result, it got out of hand. Within decades, they have grown from a small real estate company to the shopping mall tycoon in Sayon.

Now, more than half of the shopping malls in Sayon belong to them. The rest either have shares from them, or the buildings hosting the malls were developed by them.

In short, in Sayon, the Green Family may be many things, but when it comes to the products of the mega shopping malls, even David Herb and his team can only look up to them.

The Weiden Family and the Green Family have been on good terms for several generations, from the time of Hans Weiden’s grandfather, to his father’s generation, and now to his own generation.

It can be said that the Weiden Family and the Green Family have been friends for generations. Moreover, what outsiders don’t know is that the Weiden Family and the Green Family have formed a business alliance.

Everyone in this business alliance is at the top of Sayon’s pyramid.

This time, Hans Weiden asked Dominic Anderson to take action based on this relationship.

“Mr. Dominic, don’t worry. When my grandfather comes back, I’ll have him speak for you in the ‘business alliance’. With my grandfather’s support, that wild girl in your family will not be able to shake your position. Rest assured.” Hans Weiden said, patting his chest.

Upon hearing this, Dominic Anderson immediately wore a flattering smile. Although he is the only male in the Green Family, his younger sister has been showing prominent talents in recent years, and there are signs that she is threatening his position.

In order to secure his position as Family Head, Dominic Anderson sought help from Hans Weiden.

Both of them got what they needed and agreed on the arrangement immediately.

Afterwards, Hans Weiden continued to look at Dominic Anderson and said, “Mr. Dominic, this matter is not over yet. I estimate that Sherry Jones will seek you out soon…”

Upon hearing this, before Hans Weiden could finish his sentence, Dominic Anderson immediately said decisively, “Don’t worry, Mr. Weiden, if she dares to come, I will smash up…”

“No, no, no…” Hans Weiden interrupted Dominic Anderson’s words, then a ruthless light flashed in his eyes, and he said grimly, “You should meet her and give her hope!

At that time, you tell her, if White Mitchell is willing to break his own arms in front of everyone in Sayon square in front of Thaw Mall, kneel down and admit his mistake to me, I will give the Jones Group a chance to survive!

Otherwise, I’ll make sure no one from the Jones Group has a place to die!”
