Chapter 220: 216. Just Refusing to File!

~7 min read 1,300 words

Meng He walked over from outside and said helplessly, "Brother Zhang, that group of people from the Securities Regulatory Commission called again to ask about the situation."

He was now a bit confused about what Zhang Ran was doing; they had to know that they had already purchased nearly twenty percent of Yaotian Pharmaceutical's shares on the market.

According to normal procedures, they should have filed a disclosure of interest long ago.

Even with agreements and various other factors, it is not permitted to exceed three days.

In other words, if Meng He and the other current shareholders were preparing to sell their shares to Zhang Ran privately, then regardless of anything else, they had to file a disclosure now, and they were already considered to be in some violation.

But Zhang Ran simply chose not to file a disclosure; although each person's individual shareholding ratio did not exceed five percent, doing this still seemed improper to Meng He.

This would cause many unnecessary troubles and might even be classified as a hostile takeover, which would be troublesome when the time came.

After hearing what Meng He said, Zhang Ran smiled and said indifferently, "Don't worry about them, we aren't in violation anyway."

Meng He opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything; he didn't understand why Zhang Ran was doing this, but he also knew that it was impossible for Zhang Ran not to understand the current stock market rules.

It could only be said that Zhang Ran had his own ideas.

"How much capital do we have left?" Zhang Ran asked.

Huo Zhiyuan said, "There is about four billion left now."

This time they had raised a total of twenty billion in funds and used fifteen billion to acquire nearly twenty percent of the shares.

This indicated that the current stock price of Yaotian Pharmaceutical had fallen by nearly thirty percent.

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Buy another one billion in shares, then keep three billion as a reserve."

Huo Zhiyuan nodded; from beginning to end, she didn't ask a single extra question; anyway, she would do whatever Zhang Ran said.

Meng Mingxuan, who was on the side, was speechless watching this; he felt that even if Zhang Ran wanted to sell Kangshilan now, Huo Zhiyuan would do it without hesitation.

"Don't buy this one billion all at once, do it slowly," Zhang Ran reminded.

Huo Zhiyuan indicated she understood, and then she began to instruct people to operate.

The next day, Tian Yaohui received the money from Huang Lin and the others; these funds added up to nearly twenty billion, and combined with the loans he had taken from the bank, he had a total of thirty billion in capital.

As for the money within the company, just as he had said himself, not a single cent had been touched.

When the money was received, Tian Yaohui immediately had people start creating momentum, and then he began to save the market with great fanfare.

Currently, the reviews for Yaotian Pharmaceutical online were not very good; many people were not optimistic about Yaotian Pharmaceutical.

It was truly because Yaotian Pharmaceutical's stock price had fallen too hard during this period; no one expected it to fall so hard and so fast!

One had to know that Yaotian Pharmaceutical was not an internet company, it didn't have much fluff in it, and it had always been very stable, but now it was as if the floodgates had suddenly been opened.

During this period, although Tian Yaohui had made frequent moves, the effect had become smaller and smaller following Zhang Ran's actions, and in the end, they basically had no effect.

Therefore, this time Tian Yaohui not only had to save the market, but he had to do it with great fanfare.

Because until now, he had not figured out exactly how many shares Zhang Ran held in his hands; he did not dare to let Zhang Ran hold too many shares, and if Zhang Ran entered the Board of Directors due to holding too many shares, he had no idea what kind of changes would occur.

The reason the Securities Regulatory Commission frequently called Meng He and the others was not only because Zhang Ran's actions were too large and his failure to file a disclosure caused them suspicion, but it was also the result of Tian Yaohui finding people to help.

However, Tian Yaohui also did not find out from the Securities Regulatory Commission exactly how many shares Zhang Ran had acquired; he only knew it was quite a lot.

With Tian Yaohui's high-profile market rescue, some retail investors really slowly began to rekindle hope for Yaotian Pharmaceutical.

And at this moment, Zhang Ran's three billion also began to enter the market; however, although they looked imposing, the money was far less than what Tian Yaohui had.

Therefore, from this moment on, Yaotian Pharmaceutical's stock price began to climb steadily, as if everything before was just an illusion, and it was now beginning to warm up.

This caused many retail investors to maintain a wait-and-see attitude and not rush to sell; since the stock price was starting to rise sharply, why would they sell? Wouldn't it be better if it rose a bit more?

However, Tian Yaohui also slowly sensed that something was wrong; logically speaking, their Yaotian Pharmaceutical's circulating shares on the market were around thirty-five percent, and the rest were held by major shareholders.

But at this moment, he discovered that the shares circulating on the market seemed to be more than just thirty-five percent, even if he had tried his best to underestimate the shares in Zhang Ran's hands.

However, after Tian Yaohui thought about it carefully, he understood; some shareholders must have started selling shares privately.

This made Tian Yaohui curse out loud; these old guys were truly a bunch of fence-sitters. They had spoken well before, saying they believed in him and would not sell the shares in their hands, but they turned around and sold off their shares.

Tian Yaohui's expression was uncertain; he didn't know who had sold the shares, and he didn't know who else would sell.

"Since you all don't think highly of me, then don't blame me. It just so happens that I will recover more shares this time, so even if Zhang Ran enters the Board of Directors, don't even think about fighting with me!"

This time, he also completely made up his mind. "Director Wang, regarding the loan procedures for Huamei, there must not be any mistakes; it needs to be done carefully, understand?" Tian Yaohui called the Financial Director over and said.

"Uh, Chairman, we have done this many times, there won't be any loopholes," Director Wang said cautiously; he felt that Tian Yaohui had something hidden in his words, but he couldn't quite figure it out.

Tian Yaohui glared at him with annoyance; why were all his subordinates such a bunch of brainless things?

"I told you to do it carefully, so do it carefully. Don't create loopholes just to speed things up, do you understand now?" Tian Yaohui raged.

If the Financial Director didn't understand Tian Yaohui's meaning now, then he could just get lost today.

The Financial Director was not a fool, so he understood and hurriedly agreed.

After the Financial Director left, Tian Yaohui nodded with satisfaction, but soon he stopped paying attention to this matter; his main energy still needed to be placed on the stock market.

Although Tian Yaohui didn't understand what Zhang Ran wanted to do, he understood one thing: he absolutely could not let Zhang Ran do whatever he wanted.

Furthermore, the stock price could not just fall like this; once retail investors lost confidence in their Yaotian Pharmaceutical, then they would truly be finished.
