"What on earth is it?"
Seeing the situation getting out of hand, Jon steeled himself and asked.
"Shouldn't the Zimmer family pay the money they borrowed from us?"
Chandler opened the folder in his hand and pulled out a loan agreement.
"What?"
Jon's eyes widened as his worst fears came true.
"Mr. Zimmer, Dragon Bank also ordered me to find you and get the loaned money back."
Yale was more straightforward. He went straight to the point and asked for money.
Jon was stunned, while the others around him froze slightly.
'What's going on?
'Zimmer Corporation has borrowed a lot of money from these banks?
'Has Zimmer Corporation run out of money that even these banks came to collect his debt?
'Doesn't that mean everything Jon said earlier was just a lie?
'Has Zimmer Corporation really run out of money?
'So is it true that Zimmer Corporation's stock price crashed and couldn't trade because they were short of funds?'
As they were involved, the stockholders gathered around with widened eyes.
Jon's scalp tingled as cold sweat poured down his back.
"Mr. Longman, let's enter and have a cup of tea.
"Let's sit down and talk it over.
"We're old friends. We can talk it over."
Jon wiped his forehead and invited the group to come in again with a smile.
He had no idea why Chandler and the rest would make matters worse by collecting debts at such a time.
What he knew was that he had just calmed the stockholders down. He could not let anything go wrong.
If the stockholders knew Jon was a paper tiger and had no money, they would want to sell their stock immediately.
If Zimmer Corporation could not afford the transaction, everyone would hit them at their worst, and they would be finished!
However, the people with whom he had been on friendly terms were determined not to give him face.
They looked as if they wanted to settle it in public.
"Mr. Zimmer, I'm not kidding you.
"I will lose my job if I can't get the money back today.
"So please cooperate."
Chandler said as he frowned slightly at Jon.
"Yes, I will pay you.
"But will you come in and talk it through?"
Jon lowered his voice and said imploringly as he looked at the group.
However, Chandler's expression remained unchanged as he stood where he was.
He was already wondering whether these people had been bribed by his rivals!
Why else would they have gathered here to collect his debt as if in a coordinated fashion?
Just then, several more reporters ran forward and surrounded Chandler and the rest.
"Mr. Longman, did Zimmer Corporation borrow money from your bank?"
"Did Zimmer Corporation not pay the money back when the agreed repayment date has arrived?"
"We heard that Zimmer Corporation lacks funds and has approached many banks for loans. Is it true?"
These reporters had a clear goal, and the questions they asked were on point and damaging to the situation.
Jon widened his eyes immediately. He did not call these reporters.
He had no idea who called them.
"In line with the principle of protecting the privacy of our clients, I won't answer your questions.
"But we did come here today to ask Mr. Zimmer to settle his debts."
Chandler nodded slightly and said to the camera.
Everyone present not only saw it but also heard it.
Sure enough, Zimmer Corporation had borrowed a lot of money from these banks.
Zimmer Corporation had no money at all. They faked everything with their loan money.
They owed money in the stock market, and the banks urged them to pay their debts. Zimmer Corporation had run out of money!
Countless stockholders rushed forward all of a sudden.
