Chapter 193 Lucas' TechNova Group was one investor, and Brandon counted as another.
Excluding them, how many more investors would it take to pull together 500 million dollars? "Lucas, what do you think?" Tiffany turned her head to catch Lucas' eye.
Lucas closed his eyes for a moment as he fiddled with his metal lighter. After a thoughtful pause, he smiled. "Perhaps." Brandon also shot a glance at Tiffany, silently affirming her point.
Deep down, he was convinced that by the teverything ctogether, Sebastian would know exactly when to let go of the lesser asset. Maybe he'd even personally invite Tiffany to join the temporary research team.

They're just all secretly looking down on you and trying to getto boot you from the team. They just want Tiffany on board!" Lucas probably wasn't even keen on having Evelyn on the team.
Besides, Tiffany was clearly eager to get involved in technology development, and Lucas wasn't about to let Evelyn overshadow her.
Evelyn neatly gathered the files. "How about using our own funds for the investment?" Sebastian paused. "It's 500 million dollars! Flying Seal Group doesn't have that kind of liquidity." "What if I do?" Evelyn looked up at him calmly.
Sebastian slowly raised an eyebrow. "You? You've got 500 million dollars?" Evelyn nodded. "After I finalized my divorce from Lucas, he gaveour marital property. That place is worth at least 500 million dollars. I was already planning to sell it, and now, it fits our needs perfectly." As for the one-billion-dollar divorce settlement Lucas had promised, he planned to pay it out over three years. And he hadn't even paid the first installment yet.
There had been a twhen she felt deeply attached to their marital home. After all, every painstaking detail of those three years shared with Lucas had been etched into those walls.
But these days, Lucas was nothing to her, and the house was merely an asset. "Well, that works perfectly!" Sebastian exclaimed while clapping his hands. "Self- financing means we keep full control over decision-making." He never thought of that. He never expected Evelyn to have another ace up her sleeve.
For an investment project that wasn't set to yield immediate dividends, many investors had taken a wait-and-see approach regarding the 500 million dollars. Even though Flying Seal Group had teamed up with the government, there was still a process to go through when needing to secure financing.
With Evelyn bringing that money to the table, only technical and production issues remained.
Evelyn wasted no time. Once she made her decision, she immediately began working with the housing authority to list her hfor sale.
She had weighed all the pros and cons. Self-financing might mean sacrificing the promotional muscle that investors typically brought, but since this was a government-backed project, promotion and market expansion would eventually cinto play.

The next day, Evelyn accompanied Sebastian to a meeting with Donald from the government. They were En there to discuss the future partners.
Donald explained, "Yesterday, Mr. Grant brought Ms. Moore over, His suggestion was to add her to our collaborative team. What do you two think?" Evelyn's gaze darkened slightly, and a trace of irritation crossed her face.
Lucas, knowing full well that she was with Flying Seal Group, had still recommended Tiffany. How could she face Tiffany every day? Besides, Sebastian had already politely turned that suggestion down.
But with Lucas' credentials, he could easily negotiate it with Donald himself.
Without hesitation, Evelyn replied coolly, "Sorry, but Flying Seal Group's technical team is already set. We En.
aren't adding anyone for now." No sooner had she finished speaking than the person who had just arrived at the door suddenly paused in his tracks.
