After Bai Kangyan finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene plummeted to freezing point.
Everyone looked at each other, seemingly taken aback by the suddenness of the question and unsure how to answer it.
"Mr. Bai, the Bai Group is doing so well, why are you suddenly thinking of transferring your shares?"
"It's some personal family matter that I can't discuss in detail here. Is there anyone here who's willing to sell their shares?" Bai Kangyan asked, looking at the crowd.
"What price is Mr. Bai willing to pay for our shares?"
Finally, someone spoke up. Bai Kangyan said, "Based on Bai's current market value of over six billion, I am willing to contribute five hundred million."
"Hehe, the Bai Group is currently cooperating with the UK Fund and is also involved in the oil industry. To be honest, I am very optimistic about the future development of the Bai Group, so five hundred million to buy ten percent of the shares is a bit too little."
"Yes, since the Bai Group partnered with the UK Fund in the second half of this year, the company's market value has continued to climb over the past few months. I think the Bai Group's market value will break the 10 billion mark next year, which means our shares will double in value. So, Mr. Bai, I'm sorry, I won't easily transfer my 5% stake."
"I only have two percent of the shares. Even if I sell them, it won't be of much help. Haha, Mr. Bai, I'm sorry!"
"I don't even have two percent of the shares, so I can't be of any help. I'll just listen to what the major shareholders have to say."
All 23 shareholders began to express their opinions.
Bai Qianmo sat quietly to the side, listening. Although they had different opinions, the conclusion was the same.
Everyone felt deeply sorry for them, but there was nothing they could do to help.
Nobody wants to transfer their shares.
Although they are shareholders, they can only receive the company's annual dividends, holding a majority stake of one or two percent.
While receiving millions in dividends each year may seem less conspicuous than receiving tens of millions in a lump sum, everyone understands the principle of "casting a long line to catch a big fish."
Given Bai's current growth momentum, coupled with its cooperation with the UK fund, it has already begun to make great progress on Wall Street. Within two years, the company's market value is very likely to double, or even several times over.
Therefore, in the long run, Bai Kangyan's decision to spend 500 million yuan to buy 10% of the shares is tantamount to cutting off his own livelihood and source of income.
Everyone was unwilling, so Bai Kangyan said some more emotional things.
However, all shareholders unanimously stated that they would not easily divest their shares.
The matter seemed to be at a standstill; a topic, due to conflict, took more than half an hour to finally come to an end.
When they came out, everyone seemed a little quiet.
Bai Kangyan sat in the empty office, his face full of worry.
"I overestimated my value in these people's eyes. It seems Bai Xiruo was right. In the end, I still have to go back and beg her."
Bai Qianmo twirled the pen in her hand, her eyes fixed on the phone on the table.
"Don't give up easily until the very last step; this seems to be a phrase you often say."
Bai Kangyan gave a self-deprecating laugh.
"Back then, I made grand pronouncements, believing that every difficulty could be overcome, but now it seems that fate is deliberately making things difficult for this blindly confident person like me!"
