Chapter 1794 Young People These Days Are Impressive.
Yancy's face turned ugly after being countered. Lucas stopped him and asked, "Then tell me, what good suggestions do you have?"
"If I put forward all the suggestions, what are you sitting here for?" Nina mocked, "Am I here because Lucas is good-looking, has a great body, and has a bunch of people guarding outside? Whoever doesn't comply, we force them to comply?"
As soon as she said this, the shareholders in the meeting all turned pale.
Did they know people were guarding outside? Of course, they did.
Everyone was well aware of Lucas's tough methods.
But over the years, Lucas had indeed brought them considerable profits, so no one cared. However, this time the money was less, and the shareholders were already dissatisfied. But Lucas's authority could not be challenged, and without a leader, everyone could only keep a low profile.
Nina's words seemed to voice everyone's thoughts.
For a moment, the people in the conference room were so tense that they didn't even dare to breathe loudly, fearing that the people outside would rush in and drag Nina out.
No one expected Lucas not to get angry. Instead, he started clapping, "Your speech was quite good. But Reborn, you don't understand everything about the company. Take the mismanagement of local hospitals, for example. Every director and shareholder arranged for some relatives or friends to come in. I was also in a difficult position. I also want to ask you all, when you arranged for people to come in, you swore there would be no problem. So what now?"
Several directors and shareholders' faces changed, and they immediately lowered their heads without saying a word.
"Speak up, come on, give Reborn an explanation." Lucas smiled coldly, "Otherwise, she'll put all the blame on us."
No one dared to answer this question.
Nina took a sip of coffee and said with a smile, "Naturally, it's still your problem. If you agreed to let people in with just one word from others, it shows that, as the president, your supervision is inadequate. As a multinational company, you can't see the real talents from above. Can you listen to the people below? Don't just know how to charge high fees and forget the mission of running a hospital."
Everyone was stunned.
Nina said, "I remember the Nelson family founded the Nelson Group with the original intention: to make healthcare affordable for everyone."
The conference room was extremely quiet.
Even Yancy didn't speak, feeling very ashamed.
Lucas looked at Nina thoughtfully, "So, what you're saying is, you don't care how much the Nelson Group earns each year, as long as people can afford healthcare, right? Reborn, your thoughts are indeed noble. We are not as good as you."
Nina crossed her arms over her chest, unhurried and calm, "The Nelson Group has a complete industrial chain, from medical equipment to pharmaceutical companies, to hospitals, and even funds various research and poor students in medical universities every year. With so many free platforms, you mean to tell me that I have to sacrifice my personal interests to give back to society? This is the famous Nelson Group. I've seen it all."
"Reborn, it seems you have a big misunderstanding about the Nelson Group and me personally." A dangerous smile appeared on Lucas's handsome face, "Why don't you just say what you think, or maybe you don't want to see me sitting here."
"No, I think you misunderstood me." Nina said with a smile, "I personally still believe in your abilities. You have the means, you have the connections, and I know nothing. This is my first time at the Nelson Group. I was just stating my demands. As a shareholder, I naturally need to see the Nelson Group's annual profits. It doesn't have to be like before, but it can't drop like it has in the past two months. Do you think my demands are high?"
"That's what we wanted to say too." Domingo immediately nodded in agreement.
Seeing someone take the lead in agreeing, the shareholders also nodded one after another, "The current situation is that the Nelson Group can't dominate as it did before, but we can give up at most fifty percent of the market. The other fifty percent must be strictly defended."
Lucas looked at Nina, "Is that what you think too?"
"Of course." Nina smiled faintly, "I spent so much money to buy shares in the Nelson Group. I just want to make money. Actually, I think everyone's demands are not high. If you can't do it, I suggest you step down. Really, I recommend myself. I can definitely meet everyone's demands."
Efren, Oscar, and others were speechless at her bold words.
Even if Lucas stepped down, it wouldn't be her turn as a newcomer.
Yancy said angrily, "You're an actress who knows nothing about the pharmaceutical industry. This is not the entertainment circle."
"I'm just saying. I know no one would agree." Nina's gaze swept over the directors opposite her, "Maybe some of you think that if Lucas steps down, it would be your turn to take over."
Everyone was silent.
Lucas chuckled lowly.
He had never seen such an interesting and smart woman.
"Bernice, rest assured, I promise to meet your demands." Lucas adjusted his silver-framed glasses and looked over with deep eyes, "Welcome to the Nelson Group. I look forward to our cooperation."
Their eyes met, and Nina raised her eyebrows slightly. "Looking forward to our cooperation."
...
The meeting ended.
Some shareholders were packing up their things and preparing to leave. Efren and Oscar exchanged glances, all thinking about finding an opportunity to get in touch with Nina and bring her into their camp.
But since Lucas hadn't left yet, they didn't want to be too obvious, so they lingered and chatted while secretly observing Nina.
It was hard to believe she was only in her twenties. She had made it in the film industry, shorted the Nelson Group's shares, and became a shareholder without spending a dime, enjoying the same treatment as them, who were in their sixties.
Young people these days were impressive.
First, there was the formidable Lucas, and now there's Nina.
Nina ignored the others' stares, packed up her things, and left with Sofia.
"Bernice."
Lucas's lazy, magnetic voice came from behind.
Nina stopped and turned around. Lucas walked over with a noble and elegant stride, his dark shirt unbuttoned at the top two buttons, and his tie hanging loosely. The mix of sophistication, wildness, and arrogance in him was not at all contradictory. On the contrary, his charm was even more suffocating than before.
