Chapter 226: Forced Acquisition

Someone, bring the contract over.

He shouted outside, and soon the secretary came in from outside holding a thick stack, walking in while holding it.

Finally, each contract was placed in front of everyone.

Alright, everyone, if you don't want to transfer your shares, then just sign your name here.

General Manager Zong, what do you mean? We said before that these shares are freely disposable.

Exactly, you can freely dispose of them, but I'm just locking your shares now, meaning no one except me is allowed to purchase shares.

But, but if you try to sell them now, you won't be able to sell them at all.

What else is there to sell? And haven't you seen? From now on, if you comply with the lock-up, you won't get any future share dividends.

Why? This is itself a tyrant clause, General Manager Zong, you can't do this.

I tell you, today you must sign whether you want to or not; believe it or not, I'll make it so you won't keep a single share.

Zong Long, while speaking, suddenly felt his expression turn solemn, and he almost shouted these words out.

These people clearly know his background is quite complex; frankly, letting him join this company back then also involved some coercion.

And now he actually rides on them, forcing them to hand over these shares.

For these shareholders, this is indeed a very difficult choice.

I tell you, Zong Long, don't go too far.

At that moment, another shareholder suddenly couldn't bear it, then slammed the table and stood up, pointing at him and saying.

Don't lose your temper like that, and besides, a big temper isn't good for your health, right? Someone, take him out and then give him proper care.

While speaking, two men in black rushed forward, then forcibly dragged him away, leaving directly from here.

However, everyone was feeling very tense, and they clearly heard the wailing sounds coming from the next room.

After about ten or so minutes passed, a person from the bodyguards came over holding a contract.

General Manager Zong, we just worked on him a bit, and he has now agreed to temporarily transfer his shares to us.

Good, good, good, if that's the case, then he's also a wise person; then our matters will become simpler. Remember, when we get these shares, give him an extra three percent, understood?

Okay, General Manager Zong, rest assured, we've already written it clearly on that.

At this moment, all the shareholders have now understood.

He isn't discussing with them; this is clearly just a notice to them.

Left with no choice, the shareholders could only temporarily give up all of this.

Fortunately, they all have side businesses, so they won't put all their energy into this.

Since Zong Long moved into this company, they've known that the company's control would likely undergo a thorough change.

They just never imagined that all this would happen so suddenly.

After leaving the meeting room, the shareholders merely whispered their discussions, but they all dared to be angry yet not speak out.

Huang Ziguo is one of those shareholders.

This year he is already nearing sixty, and he never expected to still suffer such coercion in the end.

He quietly picked up the phone and then dialed a familiar number.

An hour later, in a private club in the suburbs.

Huang Ziguo here saw the person he had most wanted to see.

Indeed, that person is Xiao Ming.

He had previously tried many times to curry favor with Xiao Ming, but Xiao Ming simply didn't take it seriously.

He never expected that this time Xiao Ming would also use him.

General Manager Xiao, I've long admired you.

Mr. Huang, General Manager Huang, right?

That's right, I'm Huang Ziguo.

Oh, is there something urgent?

I already briefly mentioned it on the phone, but it's not very convenient, so I can only speak to you in person, General Manager Xiao.

You're not currently at Prosperous Asia Group? You're seeking me out now—aren't you afraid Zong Long will find out?

Hehe, I think we're no longer important to him, and whatever we want to do, he probably won't pay attention.

What do you mean?

Because just an hour ago, he forcibly bought back all the shares we shareholders held.

What? Forcible purchase? How is that possible?

Really, he really did that, so I had no choice but to come find you here.

How many shares do you all hold in total?

Let me tell you: about forty percent is floating in the market, our shares together make up sixty percent, and now that sixty percent has all been taken by him.

In other words, that forty percent of shares floating outside now has no effect, right?

Exactly, that's what I mean. Moreover, General Manager Xiao, I won't hide it from you—I've heard some news, and you are currently acquiring this company, right?

That's right, indeed we are acquiring it.

Yes, he already explained all this at a meeting with us, so I suggest we first temporarily halt the acquisition.

What percent?

Exactly, he's also made history; he does things improperly, and when he first acquired Prosperous Asia Group, he used such despicable means.

No wonder, in a short time he actually put a listed company under his name, and everything went smoothly—this is his true purpose.

Otherwise, what do you think? He's wealthy and powerful, and since we're all old and immobile, that's why he's coercing me like this.

General Manager Wang, if you're calling me out now, it seems not just to let me vent; isn't there something else?

Heh, really, nothing can be hidden from General Manager Xiao. General Manager Xiao, I'll speak frankly and not hide it from you: I have in my hand some original shares.
