Granger’s rage caused the other high level executives in the same office to shudder.
The CFO said embarrassedly, “Sir, our funds are already in danger. If we continue to buy shares back, we must get the approval of the board of directors…. and we need more capital to inject into the market as well.”
“Where’s the money I invested before?” Granger asked with a grim look.
“We have already used up all of them during the previous repurchase period. Unfortunately we didn’t get many shares, as most of it was swallowed up by the hot money.” The CFO lowered his head, not daring to look at Granger’s face at all.
With a bang, Granger slammed his hand down onto the table. He was trying to suppress his anger.
Even if he was rich, most of this money was reflected in the Weresoft stock he owned. He did not have much in terms of cash, and even if he was willing to continue to invest in the company now, it is
not something he could do just because h
e wanted to.
The company had a board of directors and many shareholders. Any additional investment by a single shareholder would cause the corresponding dilution of other shareholders’ shares, which was something they abstained from.
His last investment was only forcibly passed after a lot of hard work and also because of his authority and identity as the founder of Weresoft. If he continued t o invest this time, the other shareholders. would definitely disagree.
“Sir, do you want to discuss this with the other shareholders and have everyone inject capital together?” The CFO could see Granger’s dilemma and offered this suggestion.
Granger shook his head and said, “It’s too late, not to mention other shareholders… Heh, Layman Investment Bank was our fourth-largest shareholder, but it is now going through bankruptcy proceedings. Without its vote, there will inevitably be problems even if we forcefully pass it.”
The CFO and other high-level executives looked at each other. Everyone felt a little lost as they were faced with such a situation.
Granger waved his hands in dismay and said, “Alright, all of you should leave now. I’ll find a way to resolve this matter.”
After everyone went out, Granger took a few steps around his office. Then, he picked up the phone and dialed a number.
“It’s me. JW Foundation is now acquiring the stocks of all Internet and high-tech companies, including Weresoft. Are you just going to watch him steal our achievements?”
A calm middle-aged man’s voice came from the other end of the phone, “Mr. Billionaire, my darling, don’t worry. We already have a whole set of plans to deal with him. He won’t succeed.”
Granger raised his eyebrows and asked, ” What plan? Why hasn’t anyone notified m e?”
“Mr. Billionaire, you are already very busy. You can’t weigh up and make decisions on everything, right?” Although the person on the other end of the phone kept calling Granger Mr. Billionaire, it was obvious from his attitude that he was not taking Granger seriously.
Granger obviously sensed this. Thus, he took a breath, suppressed the restlessness and anger in his heart which cam result of Jasper’s actions, regained his composure, and chuckled lightly. After that, he said, “You’re right, I was too anxious. as a
“Then, I hope you can start as soon as possible. With every passing minute, countless stocks are flowing into Jasper’s hands. He is from Somerland, and this is not good for us.
“Of course, Mr. Billionaire, we’re on the same page. Don’t worry, we have already started to make some arrangements.”
After hanging up the phone, Granger walked to the French window, raised his hand to the glass, looked at the bustling crowd and traffic under his feet, and suddenly sneered. After that, he murmured, “A billionaire? Heh, what the
hell is a billionaire in front of that capital? Nothing.”
Just as Granger murmured with mixed emotions, there was a shocking reversal i n the United States stock market.
Originally, as the dealer, JW Foundation was starting to actively buy a large part of the stocks of leading companies, which gave the stock market a clear trend of recovery, but just as all the international hot money rushed forward and everyone was ready to ruthlessly enter the United States stock market to take a bite of this huge cake, a huge amount of money appeared without warning and began to wildly raise the stock price.
