Yanliang formally proposed to the board of directors to dismiss Xu's current CEO, Jiang Yunan. No one expected that the two people, who had just announced their marriage not long ago, would tear their faces apart at this time. The reason for this was that the two parties were secretive, the directors were ignorant, and the media continued to add fuel.
This also means that at the general meeting of shareholders to be held on the 1st of the next month, there will be two most important matters that need to be voted on by all shareholders: the issue of Jiang Shijun's board seat, and the issue of Jiang Yunan's fate.
Jiang Yunan seemed to have expected to do this a long time ago, so he didn't even come to the company. Although he never met him face to face, Yanliang could always get news about him from the media: where did he go for dinner, where did he go for a phone call? Tennis, and who played a few bridge games with... This man is as carefree as a vacation.
However, she is constantly preparing for this fierce battle. As long as she survives the shareholders meeting next month and Jiang Shijun's plan to enter the board of directors is shattered, the Xu family will not change hands...
It's just that Yanliang doesn't understand that while she is so busy, her opponent has been standing still. She has spent almost all her wealth and increased her holdings of Xu's stock to ensure that her position as the largest shareholder of Xu's family will not be shaken no matter what. .
Until one week before the shareholders' meeting, Yan Liang, who had been busy all night, was about to close his eyes and rest for a few minutes, when he was completely awakened by the assistant who rushed into the door: "Yan... President Yan... that... that… "
Yan Liang pinched her temples, looked at the assistant standing by the office door, who hesitated and said: "What made you so anxious?"
The assistant rubbed his chest, and finally finished the sentence with difficulty: "Well, someone sent something."
Yanliang raised his eyebrows, as if he was puzzled by the assistant's fuss, but the assistant's expression did not relax for a moment, and quickly delivered a large gift box wrapped with a white ribbon to Yanliang's desk.
Yanliang looked at the box, especially the pure white ribbon tied with a fancy knot on the gift box, and instinctively frowned. She hesitated before undoing the strap and snapping the lid open.
Sure enough, as she guessed, the box contained a brand new wedding dress. .
Without her needing to ask, the assistant has already alerted Yan Liang: "It is said that it was sent by Mr. Jiang."
When the assistant's voice fell, Yan Liang had already closed the lid of the box. By the way, she pushed the box aside and said impatiently, "Help me throw it away."
The assistant seemed a little bit reluctant at this moment, after all, even with a quick glance, one could see the excellent workmanship and materials of the wedding dress.
Yanliang immediately turned up the volume and reiterated: "Throw it away!"
The assistant had no choice but to nod repeatedly, and trotted away with the box in his arms.
This Monday, apart from receiving this disgusting gift box, everything else was fine. Yan Liang successively held meetings with the principals of the American branch and the European branch to discuss a reasonable layoff plan.
The revised company articles of association have also passed her final review, and the new articles of association will be read out for the first time at the general meeting of shareholders a week later. One of the most important amendments includes one: Shareholders only have one chance to apply for a seat on the board of directors. If the first application fails, they will be permanently disqualified.
If the new regulations are implemented, her control over Xu's is tantamount to double insurance.
From this point of view, it seemed that her odds of winning were even greater.
But the following Tuesday seemed to have kicked off the prelude to despair...
.
On Tuesday, Xu's stock price fell to the limit within an hour after the opening of the market. It was so abnormal that Yanliang quickly sensed that something was wrong, and ordered his subordinates: "Go and check, has Jiang Shijun sold the stock?".
As she expected, it turned out that Jiang Shijun was playing tricks...or it should be said that Jiang Yunan was playing such a bad move.
Yanliang thought about it again, but couldn't help laughing, Jiang Yunan must have counted the amount of funds she used for the anti-acquisition, but he missed the 1 billion Lu Zheng. He thought he could kill her by playing short selling? This made her pick up a coincidence.
Yanliang immediately told Zhou Cheng who was in charge of the trader: "Watch for me, when the market opens tomorrow, I will buy as much as he sells."
Such head-to-head confrontation, if there is a slight mistake, all efforts will probably be ruined, Zhou Cheng had to think for her: "Are you sure?"
The answer is of course yes-.
Forced to this point, she has no way out.
Wednesday, Thursday... Yanliang, who had been psychologically prepared for a long time, was not confused by Jiang Shijun's continuous selling in the past few days. After buying and selling, the stock price was stable, but Yanliang's losses were getting bigger and bigger like a bottomless pit .
On Friday, Jiang Shijun sold out all of Xu's tradable shares in one fell swoop. In order to deal with Jiang Shijun's failure this time, Yanliang used the last reserve funds.
Finally, victory.
The moment the stock market closed, cheers erupted in the cool office.
Yanliang's nerves, which had been tensed for a week, completely relaxed. She glanced at the ups and downs of data on the computer screen, almost slumped back in the chair, raised her head, slowly closed her eyes, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Someone suggested: "Should we celebrate with champagne?"
Others raised their hands in agreement.
Amidst all the cheerful voices, Zhou Cheng seemed to be the only one who was still shrouded in worries. With a serious expression, he sent the document detailing the losses of the past week to Yanliang.
Yanliang just relaxed and faced such a deficit not long after, and Zhou Cheng solemnly reminded: "If the stock price falls by more than 7 points after the market opens next Monday, it is not a question of whether there is follow-up funds to continue to follow up, but a question of you Will it go bankrupt?"
But there is no need for Yanliang to say anything, someone has already dispelled Zhou Cheng's doubts for Yanliang: "Jiang Shijun's total investment is 5 billion, and the part used in the tradable stock market will not exceed 40%. The losses caused by selling stocks in a week far exceeded the maximum loading capacity of 40% of the funds, and he has no extra funds to use for other tricks. Except for the limit-down on Monday, from Tuesday until today, we have all supported As long as Jiang Shijun doesn't play tricks, it won't cause stockholders to panic, how could it fall to 7 points?"
Zhou Cheng fell silent, with a look of "I hope so", Yanliang got up and said to everyone: "Director Zhou is right, how about this, the champagne will not be open until next Monday... No, it will not be open then It's not a question of opening champagne, but a question of whether to have a big celebration party."
After such a long time, Yan Liang finally regained her slight smile and asked Zhou Cheng: "By that time, should Director Zhou pay all the expenses for the celebration party?".
Zhou Cheng still couldn't laugh: "No problem."
every other week, Monday
Until the midday break, the stock price remained calm without any major movement.
The strange trend of Xu’s stock last week caused many stock analysts to disagree. Many experts concluded that the smoke in the stock market will spread to this week. Obviously, the steady trend of Xu’s stock price makes the experts’ opinions self-defeating. , some were sad and some were happy, and when the noon break came, everyone in the hot office breathed a sigh of relief, especially Zhou Cheng, who was so glad that his premonition was wrong.
The team, which had been shrouded in gloom for half a month, completely relaxed, and the office finally no longer looked dull and depressed: "It seems that we can celebrate with champagne.".
"Fortunately, they don't know that we have the one billion Mingting Group, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to drag them down."
Zhou Cheng naturally became the target of blackmail: "Director Zhou, anyway, you won't be able to get away from the celebration party at night, or...you can invite lunch as well?".
Zhou Cheng smiled with a good temper: "Which restaurant to go to?"
After discussing the restaurant, everyone set off. Zhou Cheng walked to the door and turned around. Seeing Yanliang still standing by the window smoking, he couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going?".
Yanliang paused for a moment, and finally adjusted a barely smiling expression, then turned around: "I still have something to do, you guys go.".
I don't know what Zhou Cheng saw on her face, so that there was a kind of pity that Yanliang was very familiar with in his eyes. Yanliang hated it for no reason, so he dodged subconsciously, and looked at her again while smoking a cigarette. outside the window.
She has never had any addiction to cigarettes before, and she can smoke or not, but during this time she has been smoking almost every night. Nicotine helps her calm down, especially when she dreams back in the middle of the night and her thoughts are most fragile.
At this moment, Yan Liang was standing by the window, and Nicotine filled the emptiness in his heart at the right time. She is... a success? But why is my heart so empty like never before? Yan Liang was not sure, so he could only take another deep breath.
There was a thick fog outside the window, and she was separated from the outside world by only a layer of transparent glass, but she couldn't see any way out.
Zhou Cheng also left, and Yanliang stood by the window for a long time, and finally realized that besides being enveloped by inexplicable sadness, she could do something else:
She had to meet Lu Zheng in person to express her gratitude, after all, it was his one billion that saved the Xu family.
Yan Liang put out the cigarette and contacted Lu Zheng's secretary. The secretary told her that Lu Zheng was in a meeting with his father Lu Mingting and that he was free at around 1:30 pm.
Yanliang calculated the time well and set off at about 1 o'clock. She went to the parking lot to pick up the car. As soon as the car pulled out of the parking lot, Yanliang's cell phone rang.
While she was hooking up the Bluetooth, she was turning the steering wheel and preparing to drive on the curve, but as soon as she pressed the answer button, Zhou Cheng's tense voice came over quickly: "Xu's stock price...suddenly plummeted!"
Yan Liang suddenly stopped the car.
The tires made a sharp friction sound, drawing a rut on the curve, and the cold eardrums were almost pierced by the sound, and asked in disbelief: "What did you say???"
Yanliang abandoned the car and rushed all the way back to the office. The next moment he pushed the door open like a madman, he met Zhou Cheng's eyes that said, "It's over..."
"..."
"We, collapsed..."
crash...
In just two words, like a bolt from the blue, it knocked everyone into chaos. Who made this move? So dark, so ruthless... He killed Yan Liang so hard that he was caught off guard. Yanliang was stunned for three seconds, then rushed forward to look at the market: "How much is the loss per share?"
Before Zhou Cheng had time to answer, Yanliang had already ordered: "Continue to cover positions."
The truth is so cruel: "We... have no funds."
"Impossible...Jiang Shijun obviously only has 5 billion..." Yan Liang's eyes were fixed on the diving-like numbers on the screen, and he shook his head in great perplexity.
And at the moment when she was talking to herself like this, she suddenly seemed to be awakened by a thunderbolt in her head.
Perhaps, Jiang Shijun not only owns MT, a shell company... .
He also owns another shell company…
That company has been secretly buying Xu's stock, just waiting for today to sell short in one fell swoop...
If today is the day when he really shorted the stock, then last Friday... was just an illusion he created to confuse her...
It also means that Jiang Shijun's acquisition funds are far more than 5 billion...
impossible!
Maybe... It's not impossible...
Perhaps, the information Xu Ziqing gave her was...false...
Was Xu Ziqing also deceived by that old fox Jiang Shijun
still…
Xu Ziqing and Jiang Shijun lied to her together
Yanliang reasoned wildly in her mind when her cell phone rang
She looked down in surprise.
This is… .
Jiang Yunan's call.
In the chaos in the office and the chaos in his mind, Yanliang stared at the string of numbers flashing on the phone screen without blinking.
She had already deleted this man from the address book, but it turned out that his number had already been engraved in her mind, far from what she had thought before, that if you forget each other, you can forget it.
Finally, Yan Liang still answered the phone.
The ringing of the phone stopped abruptly when she answered it. However, Yan Liang's ears did not become clean because of this, instead there were bursts of roaring, which almost made her collapse.
In the earpiece, she heard a familiar cold voice: "If you sell the stock, then I will definitely take the opportunity to buy it again at a low price, and then my shareholding will surpass you and become the company's largest shareholder. They will all be under pressure and agree to let me join the board of directors. And if you don’t reduce your position, then in the end you will... go bankrupt.”
In addition to the sinister voice on the phone, she was in the office at the moment, and at the same time, she was bombarded by her subordinates in turn: "Mr. Yan, should we... lighten our positions or...?".
"Before the limit falls, let's hurry..."
"Let's liquidate!"
"Yanliang, don't add any more, or you will go bankrupt!"
Yan Liang was speechless, her lips were already pale, and the other end of the receiver seemed to smell the panic at the scene, so she smiled slightly: "If you ask a bankrupt woman, the shareholders will still think that she is qualified to run a company." ?”
At this moment, Zhou Cheng seemed to see a glimmer of hope in the face of adversity, and immediately reminded Yan Liang: "Actually, we can ask Lu Zheng to invest more...".
The voice on the other end of the phone ruthlessly extinguished the flame of hope just as it was about to ignite. The timing was so accurate and cruel that Yanliang was completely caught off guard: "Of course, as long as that kid Lu Zheng continues to act emotionally Give you some money, and you can win back a city. It's a pity...Jiang Shijun should be drinking tea with Lu Mingting now."
"..."
"Do you feel that you have made a mistake? I sold myself to my son hastily, but I don't know that Lu Mingting has always been my good partner. Of course, I also want to thank you for letting Lu Mingting see that his son would make a big mistake for a woman." Level, this opportunity can be considered to have led to a deeper cooperation between Lu Mingting and us. I am here, and I sincerely thank you."
Yan Liang was violently and completely beaten back to her original shape by his contemptuous laughter, and in desperation, she woke up instead, her ears buzzing from the heavy blow, suddenly regained her deathly calm.
In the calm that was about to engulf her, Yanliang's voice was as powerless as a mosquito's: "Jiang Yunan, you are ruthless."
The other end of the phone finally fell silent.
After a while, the tone without any emotion and without any ups and downs rang in Yan Liang's ears leisurely and cruelly: "If you accepted the wedding dress I sent you that day, or even if you just flipped through it hesitantly, You will find the letter I wrote to you."
"..."
"In the letter, I wrote in detail what I will do to destroy the Xu family this week. If you read it, you can turn defeat into victory."
"..."
"Unfortunately, you didn't...".
With a "snap", Jiang Yunan hung up the phone. No more nostalgia.
