Chapter 632 - 656 Crisis
Many people below were instantly excited, initially thinking they’d have to bankrupt themselves to save their lives. They didn’t expect these robbers to be so humane and to demand money proportionally. Those with ten million only had to give up one million. Although it pained them, it was entirely bearable.
However, some of the super-wealthy couldn’t share in the joy at this time. They had hundreds of millions, even tens of billions in assets. To ask them to give up ten percent meant they had to fork out tens of millions, even hundreds of millions to save their lives.
Regardless, the demands made by the robbers didn’t seem particularly high; they were still somewhat acceptable to everyone present. Thus, both ordinary people and the super-wealthy didn’t react much.
Cole Hovde was quite satisfied with everyone’s reaction and then said, "Good, I see nobody has any objections now, so we can get down to business. I have a computer here; please transfer money in order, starting with those in the front rows."
A robber immediately pointed a gun at several people on the left, gesturing to them. They stood up shakily but did not dare to resist under the threat of the gun and sluggishly made their way to the computer.
Among these people were Sunx Dongran’s father, Sunx Nenghui, and Sunx Dongran himself. Because their family was wealthy, they were seated at the very front, but now it was their turn first, which made them all bitterly complain.
"This... I don’t have that much liquid assets in my company... What do I do?" The first wealthy individual asked, trembling with fear.
"Mr. Zheng, your company has assets of more than two billion. It indeed might be difficult to mobilize two hundred million instantly, but I think fifty million shouldn’t be a problem, right?" Cole Hovde squinted and asked.
Upon hearing this, the wealthy Mr. Zheng knew they had a clear grasp of his financial situation. With a pained expression, he said, "That should be about right."
"Then let it be fifty million," Cole Hovde replied swiftly.
