Chu Jin was silent for three seconds, then looked up and asked, "So you agreed?"
Zhong Rou smiled: "When did I refuse?"
"Then stepmother, please let Hua Ruitong go." Chu Jin looked at the other party firmly.
“No problem.” Zhong Rou nodded. “But… shouldn’t you consult with Shao Xiang, the person in charge, first?”
"good."
Chu Jin flicked her ponytail and left the office.
Watching her niece's disappearing figure, Zhong Rou stroked her chin.
... ...
Go downstairs.
This time, Chu Jin was smart and deliberately hailed an expensive taxi.
We soon arrived at Huaruitong.
When I got downstairs, I happened to see Xu Yuexin.
"Aunt Xu."
"Xiao Jin, what brings you here?" Xu Yuexin asked with a smile, her eyes narrowed into slits.
"I've come to see Shao Xiang," Chu Jin replied.
The two then went upstairs together and arrived at Huaruitong.
At this moment, Huaruitong was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and the entire company was preparing for battle.
In the conference room.
Shao Xiang crossed his arms, looked out the window at the blue sky and white clouds, and remained silent.
The shareholders looked at each other and whispered:
"Old Li, can you feel it?"
"How does it feel?"
"Shao Xiang and Bowen are very similar."
"They are father and son, so they naturally look alike."
"I'm not talking about appearance, but rather temperament and charm. When Bowen founded Huaruitong, we also faced a crisis, and Bowen single-handedly led us out of it. Shao Xiang at that time was very similar to Bowen back then."
Shareholder Lao Li: "They are indeed similar."
"I hope Shao Xiang can lead us out of this crisis just like Bowen did back then."
"I hope so."
Just then, the conference room door opened.
Shao Xiang turned around and was surprised to see his mother and Chu Jin approaching together: "Why are you here?"
Chu Jin went straight to the point: "Shao Xiang, your stepmother promised me she would let Hua Ruitong go."
These words caused an uproar among those present.
What is she saying?
Did I hear that right?
"This woman should be Zhong Rou's niece, and she and Shao Xiang are childhood sweethearts."
"They've come to save our company."
"Our company is finally saved."
“... ..."
The shareholders were overjoyed.
It's truly a case of "when you think you've reached the end of the road, a new path opens up before you."
Shao Xiang smiled broadly, a bright smile spreading across his face.
"Are you laughing at me?! You'd better agree right now, and I'll call my stepmother and tell her to stop." Chu Jin said urgently, ignoring Xu Yuexin who was standing next to her.
Shao Xiang replied, "I won't agree."
Wow!
The shareholders present erupted in noise.
"Xiang'er, what nonsense are you talking about?" Xu Yuexin asked anxiously.
The company is facing difficulties and is on the verge of collapse. Now that the answer is right in front of him, Shao Xiang refuses.
No one present understood.
Chu Jin: "Are you sick in the head?"
"Xiao Jin, thank you for your help. I'm very happy and pleased." Shao Xiang shook his head. "But you can only help for a while, not forever."
"If Huaruitong wants to get out of its predicament, move towards the future, and even achieve greater success, it must rely on its own efforts, not the charity of others."
“A momentary act of charity can solve the problem, but it cannot last a lifetime. Aunt Zhong Rou has let us go this time, but there are still wolves lurking outside, eager to devour my Huaruitong.”
"We must defeat Aunt Zhong Rou on our own. If we win, that would be great. If we lose, even if we lose to Aunt Zhong Rou, I'm willing."
“My father once said, ‘Hua Ruitong can die, but he must die standing.’”
Xu Yuexin looked at her son, her mind in a daze.
She seemed to see Shao Bowen's shadow in her son.
The shareholders who had initially objected fell silent, then continued:
"Mr. Shao is right."
"Even in death, one should die with dignity!"
"Even if I die, I will bite off a piece of flesh from my enemy's body."
“... ..."
“You… ……” Chu Jin couldn’t understand what these people were thinking.
Shao Xiang addressed the numerous shareholders directly: "Alright, since everyone thinks this way, then we must adopt a counter-attacking attitude and offensive. Do as I just instructed."
"Understood, Chairman Shao." The way people addressed Shao Xiang changed accordingly.
Afterwards, many shareholders left the meeting room to do what they needed to do.
... ...
Zhong Rou lay on the chair with her legs raised high, her eyes slightly closed, looking relaxed and at ease.
Jiang Jiaqi knocked on the door and came in, saying, "Rou Rou, Hua Ruitong has issued an announcement stating that many shareholders have unanimously elected Shao Xiang as chairman."
"Oh, that's interesting. That kid is more capable than I thought. He actually convinced those old fogies to elect him as chairman." Zhong Rou opened her eyes, and a glint of light flashed across them.
“Those old fogies were Shao Bowen’s loyal subordinates and had always supported the eldest son of the Shao family to become chairman. With the eldest son’s defection, Shao Xiang took the opportunity to gain the support of those old fogies.”
Zhong Rou stroked her chin: "Did Shao Xiang plan this all along?"
She strongly suspected that while she was fighting with the eldest son of the Shao family, Shao Xiang had been pulling many dirty tricks behind the scenes.
Jiang Jiaqi continued, "With Shao Xiang taking over as chairman, Huaruitong's stock price stopped falling."
“Sell your shares,” Zhong Rou said. “I want Huaruitong’s stock price to keep hitting the daily limit down.”
Jiang Jiaqi nodded and then left.
Not long after, Wen Qing rushed in: "Rou Rou, Hua Ruitong has released its financial statements to the public, and its financial situation remains excellent."
"As soon as this report was released, the market went wild. Many retail investors and institutions rushed in to buy stocks. What should we do?"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Rou, who had been calm, frowned.
She didn't say anything, but walked to the window and looked at the 'Hua Ruitong' building in front of her.
Zhong Rou was silent for half a minute before saying, "Keep selling. I'll sell as many shares as they want. I want to see just how determined and resolute they really are!"
Subsequently, Zhong Rou's company began selling off Huaruitong shares, causing the stock price to fall again, but this time the decline was different from the previous ones.
Previously, a drop would result in a direct limit down, but this time, when the price drops to a certain level, someone will come in to take over, so the stock price has not fallen any further.
"Rou Rou, we still have 27% of Hua Ruitong's shares."
"There's still 23% left."
"There's still 15 percent of the shares."
Huaruitong's stock price fluctuated wildly, and Zhong Rou kept selling shares to drive down the price. Originally holding 31% of the shares, she suddenly had to reduce her holdings to only 15%.
However, Huaruitong's stock price never hit the daily limit down, reaching the level she wanted.
Zhong Rou's voice carried a hint of fierceness: "Throw, keep throwing."
"Rou Rou, we can't keep dumping," Wen Qing advised. "If we continue like this, this project will result in a loss."
This time, Zhong Rou wasn't so resolute; instead, she said, "Let me think about it."
Then, she fell into deep thought.
Wen Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Jiaqi entered the office and said, "Rou Rou, there's some inside information. It's said that Hua Ruitong Company is going to cooperate with a state-owned enterprise to develop a project. As soon as this news came out, the whole market was in an uproar, and everyone rushed in to grab shares. Hua Ruitong's stock price hit the daily limit."
Wen Qing asked, "Is this for real? How could it be such a coincidence that we've partnered with such a big company?"
Zhong Rou sighed: "Whether it's true or false is no longer important. What's important is that Huaruitong has confidence, and market traders also have confidence in Huaruitong."
"Shao Xiang is a pretty good kid."
In financial market trading, the most important thing is 'confidence'; confidence is more important than gold.
Shao Xiang persuaded many shareholders to elect him as chairman, which was the first step in building confidence and telling the market that Huaruitong had recovered from the chaos.
Then, they released their financial statements ahead of schedule, showing that revenue and profit had not declined and were still performing well.
This tells the market that Huaruitong's current stock price is severely undervalued, which in turn attracts many market traders to buy the stock.
The last piece of news about cooperation with a state-owned enterprise is both important and unimportant.
The important thing is that it symbolizes Huaruitong's future. Although we don't know if it's true or not, it's enough.
The important thing is that, for Zhong Rou, she has no chips left and has already lost.
She was certain that Huaruitong's biggest buyer was her share sales.
With confidence established today, Huaruitong is expected to hit the daily limit up tomorrow, and may even continue to do so for several days.
