Chapter 284 Triton in Hand
This change is too fast. Just this morning, the shareholders blocked Winnie in the warehouse.
"Why would the shareholders collectively sell their shares? The companies under Lymington did not apply to me. Who would dare to acquire them?"
Luke had already found out about this, and the other side didn't hide it either.
Luke said, "It was acquired by the Royal Gem Jewelry because there were rumors outside that you were suppressing the shareholders, and they were very anxious. So the other party acquired all the shares at an extremely low price and became the big winner."
Lawrence R's eyes casually changed, "European Royal Gem Jewelry?"
"Yes."
Darcy's face changed slightly, "How could such a famous jewelry company acquire such a small stake in Triton? Those shareholders must have been deceived!"
Luke looked deeply at Darcy, "Miss Ordelia, perhaps you don't know yet. The reason why Royal Gem Jewelry is willing to personally acquire shares in small companies is because Miss Anderson has served as their design director, which means that the behind-the-scenes acquirer this time is actually Miss Anderson!"
Lawrence R's face had already darkened. And after Darcy realized the whole story, her eyes suddenly became sullen.
"Impossible, with her ability, how could she become the design director of Royal Gem Jewelry?"
Darcy forcefully controlled her jealous urge to scream and tugged at her lips, "Assistant Luke, she is still being kept by the shareholders now, are you sure you have made a mistake?"
"She is being kept, but the shareholders might regret it very soon." Luke reported truthfully, "As soon as Triton's shares were collected, Miss Anderson immediately delivered five billion dollars to Mr. Powell. Now that Triton has been lifted from the ban and relisted, its stock price has hit the limit up two times in thirty minutes, thanks to the acquisition by Royal Gem Jewelry. It hasn't even officially reopened yet, but it is expected that Triton's market value will rise to eighty billion dollars."
Eighty billion dollars is still not worth mentioning to Lawrence R. But Triton's market value was only three billion dollars three years ago. Clearly, it was a failing company on the verge of bankruptcy.
Clearly, Darcy had intended to snatch it to humiliate Winnie. She instigated the shareholders to make things difficult for Winnie, released the news of Mr. L suppressing the shareholders, but it turned out to be her successful assist.
Luke said, "Madam Winnie's supporters are gathering outside Triton's headquarters. They seem to be planning something big. In a moment, the situation around Triton became turbulent. Miss Anderson spent 800 million dollars to acquire a company worth 80 billion dollars."
Upon hearing this modest figure, Darcy's heart filled with anger. Those old shareholders held at least 40% of Triton's shares in their hands!
It's like giving it away to Winnie for free.
That bitch, she wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to let her die in disgrace, but she succeeded.
Lawrence R's cold eyes sparkled, unable to discern the true emotions in his eyes. There was anger from being played, but also an imperceptible strangeness.
This woman is really different. Although her means of threatening Mr. Powell are not entirely fair, it is a behavior familiar to businessmen like him.
She ruthlessly deceived those old shareholders, not showing any mercy, and with the lowest price, excluded dissenters, monopolizing Triton.
No wonder she was so triumphant just now and refused to beg him. From beginning to end, this was a well-planned scheme.
Both he and Darcy were pawns used by her.
A surge of anger, mixed with a trace of inexplicable admiration. After Lawrence R regained his composure, he couldn't help but feel annoyed. Damn it, he unexpectedly found her methods impressive.
The distracted gaze of the man did not escape Darcy's sight.
This bitch has become difficult to deal with. Darcy couldn't afford to be careless.
No, she must sleep with Mr. L as soon as possible, so as not to distract him any further!
Darcy clenched her fists, her face full of gloom.
-
Evening, at the warehouse.
Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Jones happily went out for a while and returned to the warehouse.
"I didn't expect someone to want these shares that badly."
"It's because the price was pressed too low."
"Mr. Jones, it's lucky for them to earn money from it."
Mr. Mitchell lamented with a serious tone, "Otherwise, if it's frozen in our hands, the stocks would turn into debt notes, owing billions of dollars!"
"That's true, and the buyer is none other than the royal jewelry company..." Mr. Jones's eyes shimmered with joy.
Winnie held her son in her arms. It was very cold at the moment, and she couldn't help but speak up, "Congratulations on cashing in your stocks, but could you give us a blanket or let us go?"
"How dare you speak!? If it weren't for kind-hearted people buying the shares, you would've caused us to die!"
"..." Winnie's eyes revealed a look of enjoying the spectacle.
The elderly men continued their conversation, "Who would've thought Triton would catch the attention of the royal jewelry company. If we could establish a relationship with them..."
"You won't be able to do it." Winnie interrupted.
"Shut up!" Mr. Mitchell became annoyed and mocked, "Are you the royal jewelry? With the little money you have from seducing men, you still want to compete with Darcy, Winnie, your brain isn't as sharp as it was three years ago."
Winnie smiled, "Is that so?"
Just then, with a loud bang, the warehouse door was kicked open.
Manager Nelson rushed in with a large group of bodyguards, "Ms. Anderson, are you alright?"
Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Jones were taken aback and surrounded by bodyguards.
"Manager Nelson, what are you doing?"
"Mr. Mitchell, you have illegally kidnapped Ms. Anderson, assaulted and threatened her, which constitutes a criminal offense."
"Nonsense, we just called her to discuss company matters." Mr. Mitchell lied with his eyes open, not feeling nervous because he had some connections at the local police station.
He glanced at Manager Nelson and suddenly leaned in, "Manager Nelson, the Royal Jewelry purchased our shares. Do you know anyone from the European headquarters?"
After hearing this, Mr. Jones quickly joined in, groveling, "If you know them, please introduce us!"
Manager Nelson smirked and glanced at Winnie, who was calm and had untied her ropes.
"To be honest, I actually know the former design director of the Royal Jewelry."
"Who is it?" The shareholders gathered around.
"Right in front of you, aren't your old eyes blurry or blind?" Manager Nelson laughed.
Mr. Mitchell didn't catch on.
Mr. Jones looked at Winnie's calm face and his expression turned suspicious. He pointed at her, "Manager Nelson, are you saying Winnie, she is..."
"Impossible!"
The other shareholders stared at Winnie, and finally their trembling fingers pointed at her in anger, "So you mean Winnie is the one who secretly acquired our shares at a low price!"
After the old fellows completely understood the trap, they were so furious that they spat blood. Winnie dusted off her buttocks and stood up, carrying her son.
But Mr. Mitchell wasn't happy about it, "Winnie, well done! You set us up!"
"Sly and cunning, give our shares back! I just checked, Triton's stock price has soared, with a market value of 80 billion dollars. I have at least 10 billion dollars!"
Winnie walked to a bright spot, turned around, and with a sly expression on her indifferent face, she said, "Whether you sell or not is up to you, don't dream anymore. Go home and have dinner early. I won't press charges against you for kidnapping."
"You can't escape! Bearing an empty wolf glove, you are capable of such things! We are longtime employees of the company, we've worked our entire lives for Triton, and in the end, you treat us like this?"
"And how did you treat me? Sucking up to Darcy, wanting to kick me out of the company. After your failure, you immediately tried to please Darcy, kidnapping and assaulting me. Your minds haven't been on the company for a long time. Since you are so eager to climb the ladder of success with Lawrence R, I'll give you a chance. As for me, I don't need disobedient shareholders because I want to manage the company well!"
Initially, the plan wasn't meant to proceed this quickly. She intended to slowly deal with these shareholders once Mr. Powell released the news of asset freeze.
Today, Darcy's jealousy helped her out.
Winnie took a step forward, looking at the shareholders with unpleasant expressions on their faces.
"That slap, I won't let it slide. Since you're older, are you sure you want to go to the police station?" Mr. Mitchell's face turned pale, and he had no choice but to endure the threats from the bodyguards and Winnie.
"Winnie, just you wait!" Mr. Mitchell roared unwillingly.
