YM778.TV Chapter 231: A Scheme
"That\'s right. Not only did you take all the money that the company currently has, you also had to go ahead and take loans. For what, for your own personal use? That is completely unacceptable."
"Mr. Moore, you will have to return the money to the company soon. Without liquid cash, it is impossible for the company to continue operating the same way. In case there is an emergency, how are we supposed to solve it if we don\'t have money?"
"Yeah. It is impossible for us to be able to borrow again, considering that you have already borrowed the money. So, you better return the money to the company as soon as possible, before the company collapses."
"I\'m afraid that our company is going to collapse in his hands. If possible, I would like to buy the shares from Mr. Moore. Who is supporting me in that?"
"Who do you think you are? You think that you are the only one interested in taking over the shares that Mr. Moore has? As long as Mr. Moore is willing to sell the shares, I am willing to buy them, even if we go at a slightly higher price than the market price."
Jaden looked at the group of shareholders that were chatting. Initially, they had all been talking to him, asking him to return the money that he had taken from the company back to the company.
But, somehow, the conversation changed. Now, they were actually fighting against each other, on who was going to buy the shares that Jaden had.
This made Jaden\'s expression to change. Of course, he was displeased by how the situation turned. It would have been better if they wanted to sell the shares. But now, they were actually competing on who was going to buy his shares, even though he had not said that he was going to sell them.
Matthew noticed that Jaden\'s expression had changed. But, there was nothing but he could do here. Among all the people here, he was the one with the least amount of power. So, in such a situation, he was not allowed to speak, unless he was given the permission to.
Jaden did not interrupt them, as he allowed them to continue talking with each other. Finally, about 5 minutes later, they finally stopped talking.
It was as if they had come to an agreement of some sort, considering that the moment that they stopped talking, they all looked towards Jaden, as if waiting for him to make a decision.
Jaden remained silent, without saying anything, for the next few seconds. And when he realized that they were getting impatient, he finally spoke.
"The reason why I asked to meet you all is not only to make an introduction face to face, but there is another thing that I would like to communicate with you." Jaden started.
Upon realizing that everybody was paying attention to him, and nobody had interrupted him, Jaden continued, "The main reason why I asked you all to come here is simply because I want to buy your shares."
"What? Are you serious? You must be joking Mr. Moore!" One of them suddenly stood up as he shouted. Anger could be seen clearly on his face as he spoke.
Even his eyes had bulged to the extent that they had actually began reddening. This guy was a person with a short temper. Additionally, he was amongst the ones that was competing to purchase the shares that Jaden had.
And now, he just heard that Jaden was claiming that he wanted to purchase the shares that they had. That was completely against the plan that he was having in his mind. So of course, with his short temper, he could not bear to listen to that.
"Mr. Moore, you have to be serious. We are not willing to sell our shares at all. But you are welcome to sell them to us, if you feel like you cannot continue being the leader of this company."
"What are you talking about not feeling like? He is clearly not suited for that position. Previously, it was impossible for us to be able to purchase the rest of the shares from the one that had them. And now, I do believe that it should be possible for us to be able to get the shares from him." Find exclusive stories on m_v l|e-NovelBin.net
"That\'s right. The founder of the company was not willing to hand over the power of the company to any of us. So, he made sure to retain 51% of the shares of the company, while selling the other 49% to raise revenue for the company. Still, now that he has given up the position to someone else, we should be able to get those shares."
Jaden watched as this group that was previously fighting against each other, suddenly began talking to each other, as if they were intending to collaborate with each other. From the way that they were speaking, it was as if they had already determined that Jaden was no longer interested in owning the shares of the company at all.
Jaden was momentarily stunned. At the same time, he could not help but begin to doubt the intelligence of these people. After all, he had just mentioned that he wanted to purchase the shares that they had. But now, they were talking about him selling the shares that he had? Were these people out of their minds or something like that?
Jaden did not stop them from talking. But of course, he was not going to change his mind about buying the shares from them. As for selling the shares to them, Jaden had never considered that.
It might be true that having a lot of money was quite good. But still, money was not enough. One might have a lot of money, but they might end up in prison, even if they have not committed any crime.
But if Jaden used the money that he had in order to purchase an influential company like this one, he would be able to gain more connections through this. That way, he would be able to solve many of the things that he would have not been able to solve by just the use of money.
A little while later, the group finally stopped talking. They gazed at Jaden, waiting for him to make a decision. It was clear that they were still anticipating that Jaden was intending to sell the shares, instead of buying them.
Jaden\'s expression did not change that much. With his hands interlocked, and placed on top of the table, with confidence in his voice, he spoke once again.
"Just like I had said before. I came here to meet all of you because I wanted to purchase the shares from you guys." Jaden stated with a calm voice.
The moment that they heard Jaden\'s words, this group of shareholders was dumbfounded. Initially, they had already thought about how to deal with Jaden. They had already known that Jaden was a youngster.
According to what they believed, they thought that perhaps Jaden was just from a big background, a first tier city, who had come to this city to play. For that reason, he chose this company of theirs, as his playground.
But they were unwilling to lose the positions that they were having. They could not allow a reckless person like Jaden who just took the company\'s money without considerations, to continue holding the position of the chairman of the company.
For that reason, they came up with a plan, that they were going to team up in order to deal with Jaden. They had to make sure that they took all the shares from him. Previously, it was impossible for them to be able to get any shares other than the ones that they had, unless they bought from each other.
Still, it was impossible for them to be able to exceed 49% of the shares of the company due to the founder\'s unwillingness to sell the shares. They did not know how Jaden had managed to convince that guy, but somehow, he had obtained those shares.
They thought that it was finally time for them to be able to increase the shares that they held. So, they decided on this strategy, of trying to pressurize Jaden to selling the shares to them.
But Jaden did not seem to budge at all. The confidence that he was having when facing them was something that was beyond their expectations.
Before any of them could speak, Jaden continued, "Of course, I do understand that each of you is unwilling to sell the shares that they currently hold. But, don\'t worry about that, because I\'m willing to offer compensation for that."
"Mr. Moore, it is not that we lack money. Just as you have heard us speaking, it is clear that we are willing to spend money in order to buy the shares from your hands." The middle-aged and only lady in the room spoke.
The others Immediately echoed her words with their own phrases. It was clear that they wanted Jaden to sell the shares.
"Okay, here is the thing. I will be straightforward with you. I like this company, and so, I want to buy it off. It is just that I don\'t want to be disturbed in the way that I am going to manage this company. That is the reason why I want to buy the shares from you, and be the only shareholder of the company." Jaden stated with a resolute voice.
