Chapter 135 Time for Candy
Looking at the spirited girl in front of him, Lin Yue took a deep breath.
"Okay, tell me, how do you make his company even less valuable?"
Tu Yao didn't answer, but turned to look at him and asked seriously:
"Hey buddy, do you know what the biggest risk for this company is right now?"
Lin Yue's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Lin Qiuping."
Tu Yao nodded: "Yes, Lin Qiuping."
“I checked yesterday. Lin Qiuping and that major shareholder each hold 30% of the shares, while the remaining 40% are held by several minor shareholders.”
"Because Lin Qiuping offended the Jiang family, those minority shareholders had previously announced that they wanted to sell their shares."
Based on the original market value of this transportation company, 30% would require at least a million.
"But because the risk was too great, they sold it to the public for less than half of its market value."
Tu Yao blinked: "Brother, what if I want these shares to continue to depreciate?"
Lin Yue's eyes flashed: "The greater the risk to Lin Qiuping, the greater the risk to the company. When those shareholders are eager to sell, the shares will continue to depreciate."
A hint of pride flashed in Tu Yao's eyes.
Her younger brother, although he seems quiet, is actually very smart.
Tu Yao continued, "Is there any other risk we can uncover about him?"
Lin Yue was silent for a moment, "...Lin Qiuping is still in the police station cooperating with the investigation, and he will most likely have to stay for another three to five days."
Tu Yao nodded, looking on with emotion: "Yes, if I'm not mistaken, those shareholders are probably keeping the news a secret right now, not daring to let more people know, otherwise it will be even more difficult to sell their shares."
He sighed and said, "Lin Qiuping is in a bad situation. We have Xiaochi to bail us out, but he has no one to help him get out of jail."
Lin Yue's eyes were unfathomable as he said in a deep voice, "I wonder if those colleagues will be willing to lend a helping hand once they hear the news."
Lin Jing was stunned.
A few seconds later, he spoke up: "...So I'll help put up a banner to inform them?"
An eerie silence suddenly fell over the scene.
...
Lin Jing scratched the back of his head and tentatively asked, "No... is it not allowed?"
The next second, Tu Yao burst out laughing!
"Why not!"
"That's absolutely amazing!"
Lin Yue couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Tu Yao grabbed him and said, "Brother Lin Jing, I need those huge banners. Send them to those minority shareholders and employees first! Remind them to bail them out!"
"How can I stand by and watch someone die after so many years of friendship! Absolutely not! I won't allow it!"
"Let's send out a few more invitations! To our existing partners! And the rest to our competitors!"
Lin Jing became more and more excited as he listened, nodding repeatedly: "Great!"
"My sister is right!"
"I'll buy it right now!"
Then he asked, "What are the invitations for?"
Tu Yao said seriously, "Invite them to the welcome banquet to celebrate their release from prison!"
"What my brother and I don't have, Lin Qiuping must have!"
Lin Jing suddenly realized what was happening and immediately took out his phone.
The three of them began to rack their brains to figure out what to write on the banner and invitation!
Xu Chi, standing nearby, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Before even officially entering the business world, Tu Xiaomao had already learned the unpretentious ways of business warfare.
...
Shen Rui is Lin Qiuping's major shareholder and a professional investor involved in various industries.
Lately, he's probably been having a run of bad luck; none of his investment projects have been satisfactory.
Of course, the most dangerous one was Lin Qiuping's transportation company.
Not only have we not made a profit this year, but now we can't even find anyone!
It's ridiculous that a respectable boss like him ended up in jail.
Shen Rui and the other minority shareholders agreed that Lin Qiuping was a dangerous element and that they should get rid of their shares as soon as possible, otherwise they would be stuck with them!
He met up with two colleagues this afternoon.
Just as she was about to leave, she received a call from Lin Qiuping's assistant.
Shen Rui's eyelids twitched: "Your boss is out?"
The person on the other end stammered, "The boss hasn't come out yet..."
"But... news came out that the boss is in jail."
Shen Rui: ...
Pingrui Transportation, Lin Qiuping's transportation company, was surrounded by several small shareholders as soon as Shen Rui arrived!
"President Shen! You've finally arrived!"
"What's going on?!"
Then I saw a thick stack of banners in front of me that read: "Before President Lin is released from prison, please do your job well and do your best in your work."
It's clearly written for employees.
The already demoralized people are now like a pile of loose sand.
There was a pile of colorful invitations on the side.
Upon opening them, each letter read: "To celebrate Mr. Lin's release from prison, we cordially invite you to a welcome banquet in five days."
Shen Rui's vision went completely black.
"...Where did all of these come from?!"
The assistant, his voice trembling, pointed to the first stack of banners: "This...this was hung at the company entrance this morning."
Pointing to the second stack of invitations: "...These were sent by our previous partners, Mr. Liu, Mr. Qi, and Mr. Wu."
Pointing to the third stack of invitations: "These are...these are from the assistants of several other colleagues and investors."
"Their assistant asked me to pass on a message...they won't be attending this welcome dinner..."
"Is that what I'm asking you? I'm asking who delivered these things!"
The assistant was almost in tears: "I...I don't know! I can't find it! I don't know how either!"
They're just a small transportation company, and now the bosses are either in jail or have run away, so who's going to investigate?
Several shareholders who were planning to abscond were extremely anxious.
"President Shen, it's too late to investigate now!"
"The shares were already hard to sell! Now the news has spread that Lin Qiuping is in jail, what are we going to do!"
"I've lost most of my market value, and I finally found a new job today, but now they're not answering my calls!"
Shen Rui was so angry she almost fainted.
It's not just your next client who's not answering the phone; mine isn't either!
Seeing that Shen Rui was also silent, the shareholders exchanged glances.
Stepping out of the office, they looked around and found the place eerily quiet.
The group shook their heads in unison.
"...This company is failing; we can't keep wasting our time here."
Inside the office, Shen Rui, with a dark expression, also updated the sell-off information.
...
On the other side, Tu Yao stared at the screen, and the next second, her eyes widened suddenly!
"It's gone down! Bro! Brother Lin Jing! It's down to 350,000!"
This banner was cut in half!
Tu Yao couldn't help but mutter, "I'm really born to be a bandit!"
Lin Jing leaned closer and said, "350,000 is still a bit too much. We only have 200,000. Can we negotiate it down a bit more?"
Tu Yao turned her head and blinked: "...Brother Lin Jing, you're more suited to be a bandit than I am."
Lin Jing was eager to try: "Then I'll chop it? That's something I'm good at."
Tu Yao shook her head. "We can't take the initiative now. If we do, they'll seize the initiative."
"But there's no need to rush. They'll definitely lower their prices again before Lin Qiuping comes out."
Lin Jing finally couldn't resist and picked up Tu Yao's head to examine her.
"Little sister, tell me the truth, what did you eat to grow up like this? Is it too late for me to start eating it now?!"
Tu Yao was caught off guard: "Hey!!!"
Lin Jing chuckled awkwardly, "Sorry, I got too excited. Please forgive me."
Tu Yao waved her hand: "You and Xiao Ge are also very smart."
"Us? We're not smart."
A bitter look appeared in Lin Jing's eyes: "...Otherwise, I wouldn't be the same after all these years."
Tu Yao shook her head and said seriously, "She is intelligent."
Lin Yue and Lin Jing must be quite capable to have risen from a disastrous start to become rising stars in the business world.
"You're just unlucky; you've suffered more than others."
"We've almost finished with the bitterness, it's time to eat the sweetness."
Lin Jing's eyes reddened instantly.
He seemed to understand more clearly why so many people liked the girl in front of him and were willing to be her friends.
He rubbed his eyes hard: "My sister's right! It's time for candy!"
Three days later, the price dropped to 200,000.
