Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1382

Beatrice Winthrop’s mind worked quickly before she replied, "Well, since you've already made your decision, we'll help wherever we can."

Brandon Mercer practically overflowed with gratitude. "Thank you, Beatrice. I knew you'd support this."

Miles Winthrop chimed in. "Brandon really has what it takes. He decides to build a factory, and just like that, he’s dropping over a billion dollars like it’s pocket change."

Brandon was completely blindsided. "Over a billion?"

Miles nodded. "Yeah. From the initial planning to now, our plant has cost nearly two billion dollars, I’d estimate.

And that doesn't even include the ongoing machinery and operational costs. But you have great vision, Brandon. Once the orders come in and those machines start running, the money will come rolling in."

Just a moment ago, Brandon’s mind had been spinning with anxiety over a billion-dollar investment.

He had only budgeted a $500 million investment, scraped together by diverting funds from various Mercer Group projects, even factoring in the projected IPO earnings from Bella Ward’s venture.

In other words, even for the $500 million, a portion of it was still a blank check. He had to wait for the product launch to recoup costs and profits before he could continue funneling money into the plant.

But hearing Miles talk about the endless stream of cash, Brandon was tempted.

Over a billion, huh? His mind immediately started working out the logistics. He could simply split the investment into three phases. Five hundred million was a bit tight, but he could launch phase one. Once he secured the manufacturing contracts from Lillian, he could reinvest the profits into finishing the factory.

She was his own sister, after all. What could she possibly say?

If she wouldn't give this kind of convenience to outsiders, surely she'd give it to her own family?

With that thought, Brandon’s worries evaporated.

"Miles is right. As long as the business is there, it's not a problem."

Miles smiled. "I am a bit curious, though. How are things between you, your father, and Lillian lately?

Has Lillian mentioned when she might return to the Mercer family?
