Chapter 759: Chapter 759: I Want to Meet Ryan’s Representative Chapter 759: Chapter 759: I Want to Meet Ryan’s Representative The next day, Rainy City was awakened by a shocking piece of financial news—the city’s leading enterprise, Chi Corporation, was suddenly put up for acquisition by a bank!
The news came too fast, too unexpectedly. With not a whisper heard beforehand, companies that had cooperated or were in cooperation with Chi Corporation scrambled to find out what had happened.
Outside, the news tied everyone in knots.
Inside Chi Corporation, the news threw everything into chaos. Since this morning, the reception had been tirelessly answering calls from various media outlets and partnering companies, while internally, the prospect of the company being acquired left employees disheartened, unable to focus on work!
In the CEO’s Private Elevator, Chi Jianguo wore a frosty expression as he hastily pressed the button for the CEO Office floor.
The secretary reported the latest news in his ear, “President Chi, just now I confirmed with the bank, and they said they didn’t make a mistake with the listing—Chi Corporation has indeed been put up for sale. And Ryan’s side, they have rapidly completed the interfacing yesterday evening, and have now initiated the M&A solutions.”
The moment the words ‘initiated the M&A solutions’ were spoken, the temperature in the elevator seemed to drop by more than a degree.
Chi Jianguo’s face looked so frosty it was almost icy, nothing like his usual scholarly and elegant demeanor. His eyes, hidden behind gold-rimmed glasses, were so dark and brooding they seemed to drip water. In a deep voice, he asked, “What about the shareholders meeting I told you to arrange?”
“I have already arranged it, but just now, Shanni called from the secretary desk, saying President Liu, President Wang, President Lee…” He listed more than a dozen names in one breath, and after finishing, he quickly looked up at the man beside him, and cautiously said, “They all declined to attend the shareholders meeting, saying…”
“They said that they no longer hold any Chi stock, so they are no longer considered shareholders of Chi Corporation, and it would be inappropriate for them to attend the internal company meeting.”
Chi Jianguo’s face contorted abruptly—so they claimed not to be shareholders of Chi Corporation and therefore it was inconvenient to attend the meeting. Clearly, they didn’t want to tell him how Ryan came out of nowhere, how he made contact with them, how he purchased the shareholding from them!
It felt as though someone had punched him in the chest, leaving a feeling both suffocating and infuriating.
Thinking of what the secretary told him early in the morning, it was as if his ship had capsized in the gutter!
For more than a year, Chi Corporation had been thriving in Rainy City, and his net worth surged along with it. To prevent a power struggle like last time, he had reformed the regulatory system of the company over this period, centralizing power more and more in his own hands.
Little did he know, a company that had never cooperated with them suddenly began the acquisition, and moreover, it happened without his knowledge, concealing it from his network, completing the stock transactions with the small shareholders. They even managed to keep the bank tight-lipped, so not a hint of news reached him. Only this morning when everything was settled did he find out about the acquisition!
Chi Jianguo’s face shifted, his thin lips, which seemed merciless, pursed into a bleak line, “Since everyone can’t make it, there’s no need for a shareholders meeting. You, contact Ryan’s side for me, arrange an appointment with their company representative, and say I wish to discuss the M&A with them!”
No matter what, he absolutely would not let the company be acquired!
Now he could only start with Ryan’s representative!
The secretary immediately replied, “Alright, President Chi, I will contact them right away.”
