Chapter 1299 - 1299 Distribution of Benefits

1299 Distribution of Benefits
Jonah was taken aback.
He knew that Damon and his family had come over from Orange County.
Seeing how close Bruce and Edmund were to Damon, he reckoned that they had come from the same place to develop in DC.
This wasn’t all. To Jonah’s surprise, the Hales and the Coles had only arrived in DC for two days, and he hadn’t even heard their names before. Yet Damon was already confident that they would rise up and be on par with the Parkers!
!!
What made him so confident?
While feeling puzzled, Jonah had a flash of sudden inspiration and thought about the fate of the seven-family alliance led by the Holmes a bit ago.
These seven families had all pledged allegiance to Lucas and handed over half of their family’s assets.
Half of the seven families’ assets could easily make up for the assets of three and a half second-tier families. Their combined net worth was simply staggering.
If Lucas supported the Hales and the Coles, like he did the Parkers, they would be able to become famous and powerful in DC overnight as long as he distributed some of the seven families’ assets to them.
What kind of terrifying power did Lucas, who held power over these three families, possess?
Thinking of this, Jonah admired Lucas even more, and he didn’t dare to be negligent with the two elderly men in front of him.
“It turns out you’re Mr. Hale and Mr. Cole. It’s a pleasure to meet you! Please guide me in the future!” Jonah bowed to them politely, showing a respectful look on his face.
Although he was now under Lucas’s command, his status and age were junior to those of Damon and the other two. Jonah was aware of this himself, so he subconsciously bowed to them as a junior.
After the few of them exchanged some pleasantries, Lucas said, “Since everyone is here now, let’s go to the conference room. I have something to say.”
“Yes, Lucas!” Damon brought everyone to the reception hall where they had just been.
Lucas naturally sat in the master seat while Damon, Bruce, and the others sat next to him. Kenneth and the other juniors didn’t dare to take a seat and simply stood at the side and served them drinks.
After they sat down, Lucas said, “Today’s matter has come to an end for the time being. The seven-family alliance has already pledged allegiance to me and handed over half of their families’ assets. I plan to divide them into seven portions and distribute them among you to manage.
“The Hales and the Coles will each take three portions, which will serve as your start-up funds in DC. As for the remaining portion, I will give it to the Parkers, which you can use as additional help to stabilize your position as the strongest family under the eight top families of DC.
“As for the Fullers, you are natives of DC, and you own enough businesses, so you will keep your businesses as is and develop them on your own.
“Does anyone have any objections to this plan?”
Lucas looked around at the few of them.
Bruce was very satisfied with this outcome. “Lucas, you’re already giving us plenty of support by letting us manage three-sevenths of the businesses! Actually, we’re already very grateful to you for allowing us to follow you to DC to develop further. Now that you’ve given us so much support, I’m not even sure what to say to express my gratitude.”
Edmund was just as satisfied. “Lucas, your distribution arrangements will be of great help to the Coles, and we couldn’t have asked for more. I have no objections at all. Just like Bruce, I’m extremely grateful to you as well!”
Lucas smiled. “Since you have already pledged allegiance to me, and you’re helping me manage my businesses, it’s only right for me to provide you with some help. You don’t have to be so grateful.
“Speaking of which, I know I’ve said so before, but I really don’t want you to be too formal with me. If you have any opinions or suggestions, feel free to raise them with me. You don’t have to worry much. As long as your suggestions are reasonable and good, I’ll adopt them.
“Two minds are better than one. If we can all contribute excellent ideas, I believe we will be able to develop better and faster. What do you think?”
Everyone felt touched again.
Damon and the rest were actually very clear that without Lucas, they would still be minor families of Orange County, and there would have been no way they could have attained such great achievements as they did now.
Besides, Lucas was powerful and invincible. As long as he wanted, he could easily find more partners or subordinates willing to help him manage his properties.
Even then, Lucas didn’t give up on them and instead kept supporting them to become stronger. Now, he even valued their opinions greatly and asked them to speak out if they had anything to say instead of treating them as tools.
Thus, their loyalty to Lucas increased further.
“Lucas, we really don’t have any opinions about your distribution plan. You’ve already been very considerate toward us. If we really have any dissatisfaction or better suggestions in the future, we will certainly talk with you about them!”
“Yeah, with a great leader like you, there’s nothing for us to be afraid of. Your decisions are apt, and we really have no objections!”

Hearing what everyone said, Lucas stopped dwelling on this matter and nodded. “Okay, it’s settled then. Let’s move on to the next issue.
“As you all know, Rayson Williams has left 150 men behind to me, and Norman Holmes has left 60. There are 210 people in total. Do you have any ideas about how we should distribute these people?”
Lucas looked at everyone.
Everyone was stunned.
They originally thought that Lucas had kept these people behind for special purposes, but they expected that Lucas planned to distribute these people to them too.
But they were puzzled as to why Lucas asked them for their opinion on the distribution.
The few of them remained silent. After some thought, Jonah said, “Mr. Gray, I have an idea regarding the distribution of these experts, but I don’t know if I should say it.”
As he spoke, his expression became anxious.
After all, he had just become Lucas’s subordinate, and it was his first time attending a group meeting with them. Logically speaking, he should remain silent and listen carefully and then carry out the instructions he was given.
So he was rather nervous, as he didn’t know if Lucas would let him voice his thoughts.
Lucas nodded. “Go ahead.”
