Chapter 931 - Trouble Surfaces (1/2)
The Colin Group Was One of the Local Financial Groups Within the Shattered Star Ring. It Was Well-known for Its Large Business Scope That Encompassed Areas Such as Resource Mining, Logistics, and Transportation, as Well as the Production of Processed Materials. While It Was Not a Galactic-level Financial Group, It Was Still a Sizable Company in Cooperation With Many Planetary and Star System Level Civilizations. At the Same Time, This Group Was Also Partnered With the Black Star Army and Provided Business Channels for the Army.
Many Similar Organizations Cooperated With the Black Star Army, Partly for the Evolution Cube, and Partly Because They Were Attracted to the Influence of the Black Star Army in the Area. Their Identities as Black Star Army Collaborators Could Bring a Lot of Convenience to Their Businesses.
The Colin Group, as One of the First Companies to Cooperate With the Black Star Army, Had Experienced a Booming Performance in the Past Few Years, and Their Prospects Were Broad, but at This Moment, All the Corporate Executives and Shareholders Were Gathered Together in the Conference Room of the Colin Group With Frowning Faces.
The Current Head of the Group, Colin Duller, Sat at the Head Seat. His Expression Was Terrible, and He Was Suppressing His Fury.
“the Hebrew and Sayde Civilizations Have Terminated Their Cooperation With Us. They Not Only Withdrew the Planetary Mining Rights That We Purchased but Also Cancelled the Long-term Contract for the Supply of Materials. Furthermore, I Was Negotiating With the Wiese Members Before, Which Would Have Allowed Us to Obtain a New Business Area. The Negotiation Had Already Come to an End, but the Wiese Actually Went Back on the Previous Terms and Chose to Cooperate With Others. Our Situation Now is Very Bad.”
One of the Upper Echelons Sighed. “That’s Right. Many of the Heads for the Civilization Departments That Had Cooperated Happily With Us Have Now Cut Off All Contact. This is Not Normal and Should Be Our Competitors Pulling Some Underhanded Moves…”
“Humph, I Know Who They Are.” Colin Snorted Coldly. “a While Ago, the Limitless Financial Group Sought Me Out, Wanting to Purchase the Colin Group, but I Rejected Them. The Recent Movements Were Most Likely Made by Them.”
“What, There Was Such a Thing‽”
“Why Didn’t We Know That the Limitless Financial Group Had Contacted Us?”
A Few of Them Displayed Expressions of Shock While Some of Them Remained Silent. Obviously, They Had Found Out About This Matter.
Colin’s Tone Was Furious. “I’ve Already Inquired About It. The Limitless Financial Group Has Been Acquiring Companies in the Shattered Star Ring Recently, and Those Businesses That Did Not Agree Were More or Less Suppressed. I Heard That the Limitless Financial Group Has Decided to Enter Shattered Star Ring Due to the Development of the Flickering World, and They Are Preparing to Invest in the Large Scale Construction of a Factory in the Hebrew and Sayde Civilizations. They Should Have Made a Deal Behind Our Back, So Both of Them Terminated the Cooperation With Us.”
At This Moment, the Second Largest Shareholder of the Company, Who Had Always Been Dissatisfied With Colin, Suddenly Sneered.
“It’s Not Only That. There Are Also Several Important Cooperative Businesses That Have Stopped Businesses With Us. Several Civilizations No Longer Approve Our Loans, and Our Management Level Employees Were Also Poached, Leaving a Significant Gap… Now Our Business Has Shrunk by More Than Thirty Percent, and Our Price on the Stock Market Has Plummeted. As I Said Earlier, You Should Not Have Rejected the Limitless Financial Group, One of the Largest Financial Groups in the Universe. There’s No Disadvantage to Turning Them Against Us.”
Hearing This, Colin’s Face Was Pale.
He Also Knew That They Could Not Compare to the Brand or Financial Power of the Limitless Financial Group. If There Was an Opportunity, Many Would Cooperate With Them, Even Abandoning Their Previous Partners, as the Limitless Financial Group Would Bring Immense Benefits.
The More Colin Thought About It, the Angrier He Got, and He Heavily Thumped on the Table, Leaving Behind an Indentation. He Gritted His Teeth.
“Don’t Even Think About It. The Colin Group is My Hard Work, and I Will Not Agree to the Acquisition Requirements of the Limitless Financial Group!”
The Second Largest Shareholder Sneered. “How Are You Going to Solve the Current Problems? If There is No Way, the Group Will Collapse Sooner or Later. Everyone Here is a Shareholder. If You Want to Gamble, You Have to Go Through Us First.”
Colin Fell Silent for a While Before Shaking His Head. “I Have No Method at the Moment…”
A Document Was Thrown Out by the Shareholder, Landing on the Table. He Coldly Laughed. “Since You Have No Methods, Just Sign This Shareholder Acquisition Document.”
Colin’s Expression Changed. He Stared at the Shareholder. “You’ve Been Bought Over by Them‽”
“Bought Over? I Was Just Acting in the Interests of Our Group.”
The Second Largest Shareholder Laughed and Surveyed the Shocked or Calm Faces of the Upper Echelons.
Another Large Shareholder Understood the Idea and Said, “Colin, Just Agree. We Will Have a Hard Time Contending With Such a Large Financial Group at That Level. Besides, Their Purchase Price is Very Reasonable, and After Joining the Limitless Financial Group, Our Businesses Can Be Further Developed With Their Support.”
This Seemed to Be the Signal to Get Many of the Upper Echelons to Open Their Mouths.
“You, All of You…” Colin’s Eyes Widened. How Could He Not Understand That All of Them Had Been Bought Over? The Sum of All These People’s Shares Was Enough to Overrule His Decisions.
To Think That the Board Had Been Infiltrated Like This!
Even Those Hesitating Shareholders Were Also Staring at Colin With Hopeful Eyes Now.
Colin’s Eyes Were Unreadable. “if I Don’t Agree, Are You All Planning to Overthrow Me?”
The Second Largest Shareholder Indifferently Replied, “That Will Depend on the Strategy You Can Come Up With. If You Want to Drag This Whole Group Into the Abyss, Don’t Blame Us for Saving Ourselves.”
Colin Stared at the Acquisition Book on the Table, and Hesitated. Without a Word, He Grabbed the Book and Read It Carefully Before Signing the Agreement With a Heavy Expression.
Pa Pa Pa…
A Sudden Applause Could Be Heard Outside the Door, and the Room Opened, Showing a Man Clapping as He Walked in, a Confident Smile on His Face.
“a Wise Choice.”
Colin Looked Over Frowning, but Before He Could Ask, the Second Largest Shareholder Beat Him to It.
“This is One of the Upper Echelons of the Limitless Financial Group, Mr. Madick.”
