Chapter 420 - The Method of Selling is a Problem (1/2)

Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong dragged the jelly-legged Boss Li out after 20 minutes.

Boss Pei quickly brought some water to him. “Boss Li, drink some hot water quickly.”

Li Shi sat paralyzed on the chair and took a sip from the teacup with both hands. The paleness in his face did not go away at all. “Boss Li, do you feel better?” Pei Qian asked with concern.

Li Shi waved his hand weakly. He did not even have the strength to speak.

Terrifying!

Li Shi thought it was very simple at first. Wasn’t it just half an hour? You could survive by just gritting your teeth.

He also put a sneaky clause with Boss Pei by saying ‘persevere in this project’ rather than ‘clear it’. That meant to say that he would be considered a win as long as he persisted to the end without clearing it.

The idea was voluptuous, but the reality was all bones.

Li Shi was nearly scared to death by the first project he entered into. He gave up on the fourth project. His legs gave way on the spot, and he had to be brought out by Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong.

There was only one thought left in Li Shi’s unsettled heart: he must not underestimate Boss Pei at any time!

Take this haunted house challenge as an example. It did not seem scary on the surface. The process was not long, and there was no staff acting as spirits or ghosts. However, it was enough to scare a person half to death when they really experienced it!

Thinking back carefully, these projects were indeed not complicated but full of psychological cues.

To put it bluntly, it was to do everything possible to make the guests scare themselves!

He had to say that the effect was outstanding.

Boss Li held the teacup with trembling hands, feeling that he could often wake up in shock for at least a month.

The bloody head on the ceiling, the mirror in the bathroom… the rustling TV in the dimly lit living room…

These were common scenes at home, but they had now left him with a deep psychological shadow in his heart.

Boss Li who had always had the image of a mature man with a successful career was scared like a chicken waiting to be slaughtered. Pei Qian could not help but feel a little embarrassed.

Sigh, Boss Li just wanted to make some money. Therefore, even though he ruined my good plans so many times, his crime is not punishable by death.

I feel a little guilty, letting him experience such a scary haunted house just to hear some stuff from me.

Pei Qian felt that it was possible to temporarily cross out Boss Li from his notebook. Oh, no, push him down the list temporarily.

“Boss Li, you’ve worked hard. Your feedback on the haunted house is of great significance to us! Thank you very much!” Pei Qian’s expression was extremely sincere.

Li Shi’s pale face was now confused. “Huh? What feedback did I give?”

Pei Qian smiled. “Your screams are the best feedback. I have decided to give you information on the ‘Top Student, Come Quick’ as a form of gratitude.

“That’s right, Dream Realization Ventures is selling their shares of ‘Top Student, Come Quick’. This is my decision. Moreover, I hope that you will sell your shares away as soon as possible. These are my heartfelt thoughts; there is not a single word of falsehood!”

Pei Qian looked very serious.

There was no lie here. Pei Qian was indeed selling his shares, and he really hoped that the others would sell their shares, too. However, he hid his true intention: hoping that the ‘Top Student, Come Quick’ project would lose money.

Boss Li would definitely think that Boss Pei was going to sell all his shares in hand and cash out this way. He would naturally follow suit. The other investors would naturally dump their shares if they threw theirs together.

In actual fact, Pei Qian was planning to keep some shares in hand so that these shares would become worthless when the project fails.

That way, it would be a stop-loss order[1] even if this project could not make too much of a loss.

Li Shi observed Pei Qian’s expression carefully before nodding. “I understand. I’ll sell the shares in my hand if that’s the case.”

Pei Qian could not help but smile.

Done!

Boss Li had more than 20% shares in his hand now. Selling it together with Dream Realization Ventures would definitely smash their confidence in this project instantly!

Boss Li’s shares would probably still be able to profit a little if it was successful. No one suffered; it was perfect!

Afternoon, Fu Hui Investments…

Li Shi was in his office, his eyes shut in deep thought. He was rather shocked in the morning at the Thriller Hostel, but work could not wait.

The information that he exchanged for with his life should be reliable.

Boss Pei said Dream Realization Ventures was selling their shares. It was indeed his thinking and recommended that Li Shi should sell his shares with him. Boss Pei should not be lying.

Li Shi decided after considering it for sometime.

Sell!

However, he had to think about how to sell.

The transfer of shares of a non-listed company generally required an internal offering. That meant that a shareholder would have priority to purchase the shares.

If no shareholders were willing to buy the shares, they would then sell the shares to outside parties if the shareholders agree during the shareholder meeting.

In other words, all the shareholders would know if Li Shi wanted to sell his shares in the first place.

The shares that Boss Pei sold were basically gobbled up by these internal shareholders as well. There were no new shareholders.

However, Boss Pei did not sell a lot of shares so these shareholders held their suspicion, but they did not think that Boss Pei was going to exit.
