577: Chapter 546 Deserved 577: Chapter 546 Deserved Several days later, not until the estimated stock price of Splendor Corporation had plumted by nearly 60% and Liu Hun had converted all his money into Splendor Corporation’s stocks, did Uncle Qi allow the dicine material suppliers from Southeast Asia and South Asia to sign the contract.
Uncle Qi and Liu Hun sat together sipping tea.
Noticing Liu Hun’s slight uneasiness, he reassured him, “Rest assured, as soon as the contract is signed, the stock price of Splendor Corporation will surely rise.
Even if we don’t publicize it, Splendor Corporation will spare no effort in PR.
Although I shouldn’t be asking this, I still want to know, what do you plan on doing with the stocks of Splendor Corporation?”
“Sell part of it, keep part of it,” Liu Hun replied.
He needed to repay Qingwei’s money first before making plans for himself.
“I heard from Jiayao that you’ve acquired as much as 40% of the shares in Splendor Corporation,” Uncle Qi hadn’t expected this young man to possess such substantial financial power.
Liu Hun humbly smiled and said, “Thanks to brother Jiayao, otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to take so much.
Moreover, a large part of my money is borrowed, so I need to sell part of the stocks to repay it.”
Holding his teacup, Uncle Qi slowly sipped his tea and said, “There are two things I need to remind you of.
First, if you hold onto at least 10% of the shares, you can request to enter the board of directors of Splendor Corporation.
That’s the rule.
Second, after what we’ve done, it’s probably impossible to have a good talk with Splendor Corporation, and your investnt plans in the Mainland might go down the drain.
However…” Saying this, Uncle Qi straightened up a bit and switched his tone, “After you have sold the stocks and repaid the money, you should have enough funds to invest.
Have you ever thought about owning a pharmaceutical company?
You’re capable, the Mainland has a broad market and prospects, you have the governnt’s support, and I can also connect with dicine suppliers from Southeast Asia and South Asia to help you.
Most importantly, you have a good affinity with the dicine King Bodhisattva.
Have you thought about it?”
After Uncle Qi’s suggestion, Liu Hun indeed felt it was a good idea.
Since Splendor Corporation wasn’t willing to invest, he might as well register his own company for investnt.
As for technical equipnt and personnel, only the Provincial People’s Hospital would need to slowly conduct R&D.
Continuing, Uncle Qi said, “Although I have so industries in Southeast Asia, the most important thing I possess is not money or assets, but connections that respond at my call.
You would provide the money and at the sa ti expand into the Mainland market; I would manage it for you in Lion City, and communicate with the businessn from the South Seas.
What do you think?”
Uncle Qi firmly believed that Liu Hun must have established a good karma with the dicine King Bodhisattva, otherwise, he couldn’t have cured his illness.
Given this, entering this industry would not be rely about making money but about benefiting more people.
“Since Uncle Qi has put it this way, how could Liu Hun be reluctantly to refuse?” Liu Hun imdiately nodded in agreent.
A week later, with the release of the annual report, Splendor Corporation’s good operational performance had revived its stock price, &harting_price_set the stock price to a historical high, and the supply turmoil also ended with the signing of the contract.
Liu Hun had sold 20% of the stock and directly recouped six hundred million in funds.
When the money was transferred back to Qingwei’s account, Qingwei, after hearing the news, was so excited that she nearly flew over imdiately.
Luckily, considering the business of the headquarters, she didn’t act rashly but still affectionately spoke with Liu Hun on the phone for over two hours.
It was precisely at this ti that Anderson, who thought everything had settled, suddenly panicked staring at a report on his desk.
“President, soone took advantage of our company’s stock price collapsing to heavily buy our stocks in the secondary market, and now they have sold nearly 20% of it in the secondary market.
This afternoon, at the close of business, our company’s stock price fell by nearly two dollars,” Mary calmly told Anderson, then after speaking, she provocatively smoothed her hair.
“Why do I always end up with these sses?
Has it been figured out who is behind this?” Just after Anderson had asked, his secretary knocked and ca in, “President, a man nad Liu Hun from the Mainland wants to see you.”
“Liu Hun?
Mainland person?
No, not seeing him!
There’s no ti to deal with those country bumpkins from the Mainland,” Anderson impatiently waved his hand, indicating his secretary to leave quickly.
However, the secretary stood at the door for a few seconds, seemingly embarrassed, and said, “This Liu Hun ntions he holds 20% of our company’s shares.
He’s a major shareholder so he requests to et you.”
Upon hearing this, Anderson was imdiately stunned.
He couldn’t believe that the mastermind behind all this was soone from the Mainland.
After pacing behind his desk for quite a while, he finally told the secretary, “Let him in.”
“Yes,” the secretary responded and then retreated.
Shortly thereafter, Liu Hun walked in with a smile, imdiately taking a grand seat on the sofa, legs crossed, and said, “How about it?
Don’t you have any courtesy for a shareholder?”
“Prepare a cup of coffee,” Anderson instructed his secretary over the phone.
“Hmph, coffee.
Would a rustic peasant from the Mainland even know how to drink it?” Mary sneered under her breath.
“Mr.
Liu Hun, is it?” Anderson tried to control his irritable temperant, facing the man who had been causing trouble continuously recently.
“Yes, may I ask who you are?” Liu Hun asked, accepting the coffee prepared by the secretary.
“Vice-President of Southeast Asia and Hong Kong-Macau regions for Splendor Corporation, Anderson,” Anderson said as he handed his business card to Liu Hun.
Liu Hun took it, glanced at the card covered in English, recognized the words but really couldn’t understand why these second-class people, all being of the yellow race, insisted on acting like fake foreigners.
“Cough cough…
According to the law, am I entitled to call for an ergency board eting and replace the company president, because…
you’re really too incompetent,” Liu Hun said leisurely while holding his coffee.
Anderson, whose anger had been suppressed until now, suddenly erupted, pointing at Liu Hun’s nose and shouted, “Of course you can!
If you have the ability, get the other directors to vote out.
I was appointed by the headquarters in the United States.
I don’t believe anyone dares replace .”
“Oh?
Is that so?
I made a call to your headquarters in the United States on my way here; the person who answered was Annie Taylor, and she seed pretty angry,” Liu Hun said with a relaxed face to Anderson.
At this, Anderson beca furious, not anticipating that this Mainland upstart would take the matter directly to the headquarters and even call the president.
When Anderson’s uncontrollable rage was about to erupt, the phone suddenly rang.
“Who is it?”
“This is Annie Taylor,” ca the reply in fluent English.
“President Annie, hello,” Anderson, his anger suddenly doused by cold water, vanished completely.
“Anderson, I am extrely disappointed with your performance.
You have three days to get those shares back from that Chinese man at any cost and ensure he doesn’t enter the board.
Do you understand?” the voice on the phone seed deliberately restrained yet angry.
“Yes, I will try everything I can, but what if that Chinese guy demands a huge amount?” Anderson spoke, glancing at Liu Hun, who was leisurely drinking coffee, certain this crude Mainland farr couldn’t understand English.
“Take it out of your salary, bonus, and all your benefits.
Whatever’s left is just the company wasting resources on a manager like you.
Make sure you get those shares back no matter what, and keep him out of the board,” Annie Taylor said harshly before hanging up the phone.
Anderson’s attitude towards Liu Hun changed imdiately, knowing if he could retrieve those shares, he might still have a chance to stay in the company; if not, everything was dood.
“Mr.
Liu, how’s the coffee?” Anderson, who usually had a stoic expression, managed a smile uglier than crying.
“Pretty good,” Liu Hun put down his coffee, an exceptionally standard line of English popping out of his mouth.
Anderson was stunned, not expecting this crude Mainland farr to speak English.
Thinking about the conversation Liu Hun had overheard, he couldn’t hang on to his face, “Uhm…
Mr.
Liu, since you understand English, let speak frankly.
I hope you can sell all your shares, stop holding on to them.”
“That’s fine, not a problem at all,” Liu Hun said casually, which indeed was his intention as he planned to start a new company and hence, holding shares in this company was aningless to him.
Upon hearing this, Anderson imdiately felt relieved and smiled at Liu Hun, “Mr.
Liu agrees to no longer hold shares in our company?”
“I can sell, but not through the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
I want to sell directly to you at the highest price of your company’s shares.
Will you buy?” Liu Hun stated directly.
Anderson thought about it and realized it wasn’t an excessive demand, considering the stock prices were at an all-ti high recently, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Buy!
Of course, I’ll buy!”
“There’s one more condition,” Liu Hun said, holding up a finger.
“Tell !
Tell !” Anderson, thinking money was no longer an issue, felt nothing else was a problem.
Liu Hun pointed to a woman nad Mary who had been standing by the side, “All of today’s losses for your company were caused by her.
When I initially sought cooperation with your company, she was unwilling to cooperate, which was acceptable, but then she insulted terribly, triggering a series of events and your embarrassing situation as the Vice President.”
Mary’s face imdiately turned from pale to red, her expressions confirming the truth in Liu Hun’s words.
Anderson’s suppressed temper erupted at last, finding an outlet for his frustration, pointed at Mary and yelled a barrage of Cantonese insults, then he huffed, “Your arrogant attitude and irresponsible behavior have caused imasurable and irreparable losses to the company!
Idiot!
You are fired!”
Mary looked at Liu Hun with a complex expression, threw the docunts in her hand, and said to Anderson, “Fire ?
I didn’t want to work here anyway!” She then strode out of the office with her head held high.
Anderson didn’t expect Mary to dare defy him and imdiately called his secretary to shout, “Put Mary on the industry blacklist, let her never find a job in Lion City again!”
Seeing Anderson’s reaction, Liu Hun knew everything was settled, no need for further instigation, for this woman nad Mary would surely learn her lesson.
After selling all his shares to Anderson and the company, Liu Hun cashed in another six hundred million.
He stayed a few more days in Lion City to discuss starting a business with Uncle Qi and also bought a lot of things to take back for his won.
A week later, with everything settled, Liu Hun and Uncle Qi each invested one hundred million to establish Yanhuang Pharmaceutical, leaving the managent and operations entirely to Uncle Qi.
Liu Hun, although the owner of Yanhuang Pharmaceutical, was still an official and thus couldn’t reveal his involvent in these matters.
