The Consortium's Heir

Chapter 119 Erin and Zack both felt chills run down their spine as they looked at Darius who had a smileon his face.

Int'l could just build in a day. Working with them would be extremely beneficial, as West Atlantics Int'l was still a relatively new company. As a result, Erin and Zack were both taken aback by Darius' sudden decision to blacklist the three companies. "Mr. Reid, isn't this too hasty a decision?" Zack asked tentatively. Erin kept silent as Zack questioned Darius, which meant she thought the same thing as well. Darius looked at Zack, who had a panicked expression on his face, and Erin, who had the same expression on her face despite her efforts to hide it, and smiled slowly before speaking. "Terra Int'l, Venus Inc., and Sky Industries have backed out from a total of seven projects which cost us quite a lot to acquire, including the Swallow park project; and about four of these projects have already been set to be completed in the next four weeks." "Their backing out has left us several holes for us at West Atlantics Int'l to fix. It will be extremely unwise to continue to work with them in the future, regardless of their status and influence now." Darius explained slowly. However, Zack wasn't convinced with Darius explanation, and gave his reason. "But Mr. Reid, these companies only pulled out of the projects because of the false rumors that the news channel spread. If we contact them now and explain the situation to them, I'm sure that they will request to rejoin the projects." Zack argued. Darius sighed slowly and looked at Zack. Sure enough, Zack still had the experiences of being the head of a third rate company deep rooted in him, and it clearly affected his way of conducting things After managing a colossal technological company like Nix Inc. for some time, Darius knew how these bigwigs thought. He knew that the only reason they partnered with West Atlantics Int'l was because of the seemingly large capital they had. It was hardly a secret, as big companies like theirs had their way of discovering things. Even if they didn't know the exact amount West Atlantics Int'l capital was, they knew that it was big enough to give them a solid foundation in Capital City. As such, they were only with them for the benefits. They had no intention of helping them out if they encountered any crisis, as this was shown by the fact that the three companies pulled out from the projects without hesitation the moment they encountered what could be called a ' small issue. They couldn't even wait for Darius, the chairman of the company, to issue a statement concerning the issue before backstabbing them. While Zack might be a bit overwhelmed by their status and influence and overlook this action of theirs, Darius won't. There was no room for partnerships with companies like them. As for Zack, Darius believed that soon enough, when West Atlantics Int'lgrew to the level he expected it to, his mindset would surely change. Not everyone could easily adapt to the difference in status, and it was completely normal for Zack
