As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd turned their heads back in displeasure, only to see that the speaker was none other than Ouyang.
"Hmph, so what if you are the major shareholder? The contract clearly stipulates a 20% land right, and now whoever gets it owns it, you can't control that much!"
"Exactly! As long as the time hasn't expired, this gentleman can dispose of his 20% land right as he wishes. Do you intend to openly renege on the terms of the agreement?"
"There's no need to pity Wren Webb; he couldn't even uphold one agreement. If that land stayed with him, it would have been squandered sooner or later anyway; better to hand it over to us!"
The onlookers were supportive of Bokes, clearly seeing him as part of their interest group.
As long as they ensured the 20% land right remained in his hands, they had the chance to get a share of the ore from it.
