Contract Marriage With Mysterious President novel Chapter 345

The shareholders of the HD Group were smart. After hearing from Richard that there was a risk, they all began to hesitate again. When Jacob was ready to issue shares, all the shareholders began to hesitate and shirk again.

"What do you want? I've already made it clear, and you've already gotten the benefits, yet why don't you believe me?" Jacob was impatient at this time. The money he borrowed upon usury was due for repayment. If he did not have the funds to repay the loan, then those people would very likely destroy him.

"It's not that we don't believe you, Mr. Carter. I'm having liquidity problems. My wife used my money for investment and hasn't gotten it back yet. I don't have money for the time being," A shareholder said to Jacob.

"Yeah, yeah. I also lent out all the money we had. It's not time for payment yet and they are all people we are close with, so I can't suddenly ask them to repay us," Another shareholder said.

The rest all had various excuses, but the gist of it was that they had no money.

"Our stock will be public after issuance. They'll go up, and once they do, you can sell them. You'll make a lot of money from selling. Haven't you all made a lot of money at the HD Group?" Jacob wanted to swear.

"We did make a lot of money at the HD Group, but the President at that time wasn't you. You made us lose money," Someone spoke out to remind everyone.

All the shareholders thought about it and realized that it was true. Back then, Halbert let his sons take turns being the President for a few months. The first son and the second son all lost money. It was only until the youngest son took office that they received dividends and profits.

"Oh right. I almost forgot about that. It's been a long time, but that year was truly risky. We almost lost money." Some people started to miss Richard.

"What's past is past. What's now is now. It's different now. I'm mature, and I also have my personal connections." It did not matter how Jacob explained himself anymore. All the shareholders came up with excuses to leave, and the shareholders meeting ended on bad terms.

Seeing that everyone was gone, Jacob smashed a few teacups. But watching the teacups fall to the ground and shatter did not diminish the anger he harboured at all.

"Someone, come here. Take these all down. We won't be having another shareholders meeting anymore. They are all just old and stubborn," Jacob said with resolution and anger. Why was Richard always profitable? Because of Richard, he could no run the business anymore. It was all his fault! All his fault!

Jacob went to the bar alone with a bad headache. He called Allison, but she never answered. He had no idea what she was doing.

"Dad, mom, I want that." Allen could already walk on the ground. Amy had been telling him stories about soldiers, which made the kid dream about becoming a soldier.

He began getting past the traumatic experience. He was still young and able to adapt and forget things quickly.
