Chapter 34
Chris rapped on the table, calling for everyone’s attention.
“Everyone, I would like to share some good news with you all. Nolan Pharmaceuticals. has been looking to increase its share pool, so we are currently welcoming new investors. Is anyone here interested?”
“New investors?” Everyone’s attention was immediately captured.
Nolan Pharmaceuticals was an industry–leading corporation with very limited shares available. That was why Chris‘ announcement came as a shock to everyone at the table.
“Hasn’t the company been doing alright, Mr. Nolan? Why the sudden invitation?” Dahlia asked curiously.
“Of course, it has been. We’ve just been planning to list our company publicly, that’s why. As everyone knows, our company is not short on talent or the capability to overcome competition. This share listing is just so we have some funds to give our employees a good bonus this season.” Chris smiled. “We haven’t officially announced this to the public yet, and the spots are limited. If anyone here is interested, we can save some spots for you.
That sure got everyone on board. Nolan Pharmaceuticals could easily bag them all hefty profits!
“Count me in, Mr. Nolan. I have five million to spare!” James called out eagerly.
“Eight million on me!” Florence followed.
Chris beamed. “Alright, two spots for you guys.
“Hey, I want a share too! You’ve got yourself another three million!”
“Five… five million for me–that’s all my life savings!”
The family started shouting over each other, worried they wouldn’t be able to get at share. It was a perfect example of herd mentality.
“What about you, Dahlia? How many shares would you like to get?” Chris turned to Dahlia. “I can give you extra from the pot, given our relationship.”
“I…” Dahlia gave it some thought.
She had learned a lot on her way up to where she was today. Naturally, she knew not to make decisions based on personal sentiment.
“Don’t you trust me, Dahlia? I’m offering you a share because you’re important to me. You can say no if you want to–there are loads of other people waiting to get their share.” Chris huffed lightly.
