Seeing Chen Dong's grim expression, Annie leaned closer and asked, "Who is it?"
Chen Dong turned his gaze to Wang An. "Engineer Wang, you can go out first. I have something to say to Annie alone."
"yes."
After Wang Gong left, Chen Dong let out a slow sigh. He looked straight at Annie and uttered a few words, "It's Freemasonry."
“Freemasons?!” Annie’s eyes darkened as she recalled their previous dealings with the Freemasons.
The Freemasons are always very careful, and even if they take any action against Long Teng, they will hide themselves very well. However, even without showing their faces, they often cause great harm to Long Teng.
"What do they want from us?"
"They want Amazon's equity!" Chen Dong said with certainty after a moment of silence.
The Freemasons wield immense power in Europe and America, far beyond imagination. Their words to Chen Dong clearly indicate their determination to succeed.
"They probably saw the potential of Amazon's e-commerce and wanted a piece of the pie, but they didn't have a way to buy equity, so they wanted to use me to open up equity financing so that they could legally control Amazon."
Having experienced the power of the Freemasons before, Annie's first reaction to the Freemasons' proposal to open up equity was not to refuse, but to fear that, given the Freemasons' modus operandi, they would interfere in Amazon's operations.
“We’ve watched Amazon grow up. Now that they’ve acquired a stake, won’t they interfere with Amazon’s operations?” Anne asked worriedly.
Chen Dong shook his head. "Probably not. They want to acquire Amazon's equity because they want a piece of the pie, but if Amazon develops in its own way, the returns will definitely exceed their expectations."
A few days ago, Chen Dong had the company's senior management prepare for a vote on whether Amazon should open up equity. Now, the Freemasons are putting pressure on him, and it seems that Chen Dong has to make the decision himself.
After opening up equity, anyone can buy shares in Amazon and become a partner in Amazon.
On the positive side, it can enhance Amazon's competitiveness and help retain key talent.
At the same time, the injection of private capital will attract the attention of a number of angel investors. The resources and channels available to angel investors can minimize obstacles to Amazon's operations.
After hearing this, Anne said, "So, opening up equity is actually beneficial to us, which also meets the conditions proposed by the Freemasons."
"Boss, why don't we just agree to their request?"
Chen Dong looked at Annie and said, "If the Freemasons hadn't made this call, I probably would have convinced the company's executives a few days later to open up equity and restructure the company's shares."
"But the Freemasons just said on the phone that if I agree to open up my shares, I can offer them terms." Chen Dong thought, why not take advantage of this opportunity?
