Wen Haowen's remarks on the Internet were soon reported by the media, and at the same time, the competition for Ai Shang's shares became fierce.
At this time, in the president's office in the Xiao Group building, Jiang Shaofeng and Xiao Zhiyuan were both paying attention to the Ai Shang stock market.
The stock price was pushed up to 50 yuan a few days ago, which had reached the limit that the Xiao family had originally intended to acquire Ai Shang, but the Wen Group still had no intention of stopping.
"The stock price has been hyped up to over 80 yuan. Brother Xiao, why don't we sell all the stocks we have while Ai Shang's stock is still valuable?" Jiang Shaofeng swallowed his saliva while staring at the numbers jumping on the big screen, feeling terrified.
Xiao Zhiyuan's eyes were slightly swollen, and there was a bloodshot in his eye sockets, like a spider web: "We have acquired 40% of Ai Shang's shares. We still have 11% left to forcefully acquire Ai Shang. There are still 20% of shares floating in the market. We still have a chance and can't just give up like this."
At this point, the Xiao family is in a completely difficult situation. If they give up on acquiring Ai Shang, not only will they lose a huge amount of money, but they will also be indirectly admitting defeat to the Wen family. It will be very difficult for the Xiao family to re-enter the luxury brand market in the future. If they continue with the acquisition, Ai Shang's stock price will reach a new high in the market, and the Xiao family will also suffer heavy losses.
Jiang Shaofeng's eyes turned red with anger: "Aishang is a first-tier domestic brand. Aishang Group itself is quite powerful. We originally expected to acquire Aishang for a maximum of 500 million yuan, but now the development of things has exceeded our expectations. It is very different from the content of the cooperation between Xiao and Jiang. I don't care. Our Jiang family will withdraw from the acquisition of Aishang."
A few years ago, due to financial problems, the Jiang family had to cooperate with the Wen family. Although they still maintained the reputation of the four major families with the help of the Wen family over the years, the financial problem was not really solved. The Xiao family and the Jiang family cooperated to acquire Ai Shang. Although the Jiang family only held 30%, it has lost 200 million during this period, which is a huge blow to the Jiang family.
Xiao Zhiyuan didn't expect Jiang Shaofeng to withdraw from the acquisition at this time and turn his back on him. He felt like he was struck by a bolt from the blue. "Brother Jiang, that idiot Wen Haowen exposed the news that the Wen family and the Xiao family were competing to acquire Ai Shang. Now the stock market of Wen's Group is in great turmoil. I received the news that as of nine o'clock this morning, it had fallen below 500 points. Under the double blow of the stock decline and the acquisition of Ai Shang, the loss of Wen's Group will be more severe than ours. As long as we acquire Ai Shang, we can take advantage of the opportunity, so we can't give up at the moment."
The stock of Xiao's Group has been affected by the acquisition of Ai Shang, and has also been on a downward trend in the past two days. If Jiang Shaofeng really withdraws from the cooperation at this time, it will be a huge blow to both the acquisition of Ai Shang and the stock market of Xiao. Now that things have come to this, they have to drag the Wen's Group into the water even at the risk of suffering losses.
Jiang Shaofeng was a little hesitant. Who wouldn't be drooling over the luxury brand market that the Wen family owns? "Well, I'll think about it again!"
After Jiang Shaofeng left, Xiao Zhiyuan's face turned pale: "Jiang Shaofeng, that despicable and shameless villain, actually wants to withdraw from the acquisition of Ai Shang at this time."
The door of the office was pushed open vigorously, and Li, the special assistant, hurried in: "President, the media reported that a small shareholder of Ai Shang secretly met with a mysterious person and sold 2% of his scattered shares to that mysterious person. Now Ai Shang's stock has been hyped up to 100 yuan."
"Is this news true?" Xiao Zhiyuan's face turned pale. He was competing with the stock market here, and Wen's Group actually went directly to shareholders to buy shares. Now that Ai Shang's stock was speculated so high, there were still idiots willing to sell their shares.
"It is not certain yet, but the magazine did publish a photo of the small shareholder, and it has been confirmed that he does hold 2% of AiShang's shares."
Xiao Zhiyuan saw that the numbers on the screen stopped after one hundred yuan. He suddenly had a bad feeling. Before he could react, a news report about Ai Shang Stock Finance popped up on the big screen, which was like a bolt from the blue for him.
"At 10 o'clock this morning, a middle-aged man who claimed to be a technician in the technical department of Ai Shang said that Ai Shang products contain trace amounts of carcinogens. After reporters' open and secret investigations, they have confirmed that the man is indeed a former employee of Ai Shang!"
Carcinogenic substances, he worked hard to acquire Ai Shang, but in the end, it was all in vain.
Xiao Zhiyuan took a step back dejectedly, his mind was dazed and his brain was blank.
At this time, the door of the office was pushed open vigorously, and a middle-aged beauty in her thirties hurried in: "President, Jiang Shaofeng sold all of his Ai Shang stocks and accepted an interview with reporters. He announced on the spot that the Xiao family and the Jiang family had officially terminated their cooperation with the Xiao family and withdrew from the acquisition of Ai Shang because the content of the cooperation had exceeded the original cooperation documents. He even broke the news that the Jiang family suffered heavy losses due to the acquisition of Ai Shang, which alluded to the current status of the Xiao family's acquisition of Ai Shang. At present, the Xiao family's stock market is very turbulent, and the stock has fallen below 300 points and is still falling."
Xiao Zhiyuan's depressed mood suddenly burst out, and he kicked over the glass coffee table in front of him: "Jiang Shaofeng, this despicable and shameless villain, is so capricious and unjust."
He thought of the situation a few days ago when Wen Haowen caused a big commotion in the Jiang’s building. He was watching from the side at that time, and seeing the smug look on Jiang Shaofeng’s face, he just felt extremely proud at that time. But now the Jiang family has backstabbed the Xiao family, and he realized that there is indeed such a cause and effect cycle in this world.
Li Tezhu suddenly cried out: "President, Ai Shang's stock is falling madly, it has already fallen to 80!"
Xiao Zhiyuan's depressed mood suddenly cleared up: "While there is a price, sell all the Ai Shang shares in your hands immediately."
Assistant Li quickly sat down in front of the computer to deal with it.
Xiao Zhiyuan stood behind Assistant Li and watched the falling figures, feeling extremely anxious: "Assistant Li, hurry up, the stock price has dropped to over fifty!"
Assistant Li was sweating profusely, and he tapped on the keyboard with his nimble fingers, quickly selling all the stocks in his hands. When the selling price was written on the screen after all the stocks were sold out, his stiff fingers clenched into fists.
The big word "Five" on the screen, in bright red, seemed to be mocking him. Xiao Zhiyuan was so angry that his eyes turned red, and he threw the computer in front of him to the ground.
Assistant Li finally reacted: "CEO, the stock price dropped to five dollars in an instant. Someone must have accumulated a large amount of Ai Shang's stock before and took the opportunity to make a profit. The Wen family came prepared. The acquisition of Ai Shang is clearly a conspiracy of the Wen family to attack the Xiao family."
How could Xiao Zhiyuan not understand this? He was first tricked by the Jiang family, and then by the Wen family in one day. He was so angry that his face flushed: "How much do you estimate the Xiao family has lost so far?"
Assistant Li hesitated and said, "A loss of one billion, not counting the decline in the group's stock market."
