The Federation has a very famous saying: "Victory or defeat is decided outside the courtroom."
This phrase was once used to hint at those capitalists and politicians who interfere with judicial justice through various thods, as they have the capability to undermine judicial procedures and fairness from the outside.
Even now, such situations exist and are more severe than before; only the capitalists and politicians have gradually learned how to handle these things quietly, resolving them away from public attention.
"Every Mont’s lawyer did not object, it seems their stance is not firm."
A prosecutor took a small sip of coffee, "We all know why those exclusive counters are missing. If Every Mont’s stance is too firm, it might cause unnecessary trouble."
He walked to the wall and leaned against it, holding coffee in his hand, "Once the public thinks this is Every Mont’s persecution of ordinary people, they might be mobilized to find those fraudsters."
"Two thousand counters, think about it, just storing these items alone requires a huge space."
"Once people find where they are stored, they can eventually pinpoint who’s behind all this through so details."
"So I don’t find Every Mont’s attitude strange, they just want to drag out the ti until the acquisition battle is over, and they’ve found new sources, then they won’t be afraid to pursue the lawsuit."
"Find any reason, say soone mistakenly announced the news and take these counters back ahead of schedule."
"Compromise privately with those store owners, and they can survive this crisis."
The prosecutor is a middle-aged man in his forties, having handled many cases; he easily understood the situation like today.
The Federation has this peculiar phenonon that, once soone angers the dignity of the lower society mbers, they beco very united.
Being excessively tough makes bystanders feel offended too, and combined with so guidance, it becos very unfavorable for Every Mont.
It’s better to maintain a relaxed attitude like now, neither agreeing nor refusing the request to delay the trial.
Bystanders continue watching, while Every Mont has enough ti to solve what they must first face now.
The judge nodded after listening, "What you said makes sense."
"Then next, I think we may set the date for the next hearing on..." He looked at the calendar on the table, "How about the tenth of next month?"
Others nodded too, with no dissatisfaction about this decision.
Soon, the recess ended, the hearing resud, and after both lawyers submitted so irrelevant evidence, the judge announced a temporary adjournnt. The next hearing would be on May 10, urging the defendant’s lawyer.
If he has any other ideas, he should find ample evidence before May 10, otherwise that would be the final hearing.
The court cannot indefinitely delay ti just for their convenience; this is a court, not a restaurant, and people must maintain respect toward the court, judge, and law.
The hearing was sowhat unsatisfactory; both lawyers didn’t physically argue over these issues, making many feel regretful, as the key point was not intense.
Both sides seed to be going through motions, the motions finished, and the court debate ended. Even TV stations found it unnecessary to produce a special program for this matter.
For this, they invited two senior lawyers, but the station could save that lawyer fee now, as there really wasn’t much to say.
Without these noisy summonses, the world seed to quiet down instantly...
When turmoil seed absent everywhere, Every Mont’s shareholder eting beca the center of a storm.
The two companies initiating hostile acquisitions had been in contact with smaller shareholders, hoping to gain their stocks at a premium price; Rongsheng Gold Bank wasn’t idle either, constantly evaluating the expected profit after splitting Every Mont, aiming to garner more supporters.
Just as Mr. Wardrick said, Lynch isn’t the foreign president predecessor, Every Mont has also shifted from a multinational to a local company, rendering many sanction thods useless.
If Lynch were a typical capitalist, part of the system, Rongsheng might continue holding shares.
But look at what kind of person Lynch is; from the first penny he earned, he never once operated within the rules, yet he hasn’t broken them.
He’s like a macaroni at the bottom of a pot, your ladle can never scoop it up, leaving you helpless!
Such a difficult and assertive president does not fit Rongsheng Gold Bank’s strategy of continuing to hold shares, especially when Lynch just took control of Every Mont, showing he will not safely hold the shares without action; he will certainly do sothing.
Future Light Investnt Company has stabilized its structure so far, after internal shareholder rgers, about forty shareholders remain.
The weight of these shareholders far exceeds the ordinary definition of "shareholder."
Holding such a force, coupled with Lynch’s obsession with absolute controlling power, Rongsheng Gold Bank’s think tank believes if not escaping soon, it will beco increasingly troubleso later.
He is likely to continuously expand the total number of shares to dilute all shareholders’ holdings, ultimately aiming to control more shares.
If following Lynch’s continuous investnt, as more funds are injected into Every Mont, it becos harder to turn back or leave later.
If not investing with Lynch into the company, undoubtedly, the shares will be diluted to an unacceptable level.
Although doing nothing from a wealth perspective won’t incur losses, and might even make a small gain, the value of shares compared to equity is sowhat lacking.
After internal evaluation, Rongsheng Gold Bank believes selling their shares to Shi Haoyun or Colorful at a suitable price is optimal, as they would offer a good price for Rongsheng Gold Bank’s shares.
As for other details?
They couldn’t care less, as they are a bank, this is their job. If soone goes bankrupt because of this, it rely reflects their own business capabilities, which has nothing to do with the bank.
The representative from Rongsheng Gold Bank looked at the representatives from Shi Haoyun and Colorful Company—of course, they wouldn’t just outright say this; they are still representing a relatively unknown small company.
Once they truly achieve these—such as acquiring enough Every Mont shares—that small company would be wholly purchased by Shi Haoyun or Colorful, reaching their initial goal.
If failing to accomplish it, they can sell their shares anyti and dissolve the company, as if these events never happened.
Wild speculation poses no burden to them; without evidence, they can sue for defamation anyti.
The exchange of glances among the three continued, shareholders had gathered, but surprisingly, Lynch seed uninterested in imdiately convening the shareholder eting.
Soone reminded him, "Mr. Lynch, everyone has gathered, should we..."
Lynch lifted his head, moving his gaze from a booklet in front to the faces of others, his eyes seemingly montarily lost.
He then smiled, "There are still so people who haven’t arrived, let’s wait a little longer."
"Are there others?" The inquiring shareholder continued asking.
The shareholder eting’s situation is never simple; for the one speaking up, they had already planned to sell their shares to the acquiring company.
The other party was willing to purchase the shares at a 20% premium on the closing price the day before Every Mont’s collapse.
This price and timing are considered very sincere.
Facing an uncertain future for Every Mont, the offer had already stripped small shareholders of rejection courage.
Thus, he spoke up at this ti, caring little about what Lynch might do later, because he’s about to leave anyway.
After taking more note of the usually ignored minor shareholder, Lynch glanced at the watch. As he was about to say sothing, the eting room door suddenly swung open.
Several security guards stood by the door, a gentleman accompanied by a young girl entered, "I’m not late, am I?"
He had an apologetic smile, "Ran into a fire alarm on the way, held up a bit, am I late?"
Lynch stood up, turned, and shook hands with Mr. Wardrick, "You are five minutes late, but I can pretend you weren’t."
He glanced at the secretary who had lost the ability to think, "Add a chair for Mr. Wardrick, right next to ."
After speaking, he turned towards the shareholders shocked by the introduction, warmly introducing, "This is our new shareholder."
"Yesterday evening, I transferred five percent of my shares to Mr. Wardrick and his daughter, Miss Severa, from today, they will also be our shareholders. anwhile, Miss Severa will serve as a board mber. I hope everyone welcos their addition."
Applause erupted instantly. Mr. Wardrick’s reputation is too prominent. Unlike Mr. Bruno, who consistently hides in the background, only elites know his influence.
Mr. Wardrick always remains visible; every federation citizen recognizes this gentleman, excelling in wealth, power, influence, and social status, ranking among the federation’s top.
Not everyone likes the President, so even spit at the President, but upon encountering Mr. Wardrick, everyone can’t help but show their brightest smile and offer, "I’m truly honored to et you!"
