Chapter 1025 Seizing the Opportunity
The decline of Patrick’s company’s stock presented an opportunity for Jane. She had always wanted to acquire the company but never had the chance. Now, she had found that opportunity.
She knew this wasn’t merely kicking someone while they were down; if she had to describe it in one word, it would be “fulfillment.”NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
“The company should come back, but where should I start?” Jane pondered. Soon, she had an idea. She needed to investigate the financial issues within the company.
It was like adding fuel to the fire. Finding operational and production-related problems would be enough.
With the current stock decline, it was like pushing the company closer to the edge of a cliff, inevitably causing a greater crisis.
Even if Harrison wanted to salvage the situation, it would likely be an impossible task. So, for Jane, her course of action was simple.
Sitting at her desk, Jane’s fingers danced across the keyboard like an agile sprite. This was something she was familiar with beyond measure.
She had rediscovered the feeling she once had. This feeling was even more intriguing than managing a company.
Especially when she saw a string of data on the computer, one after another, they were her soldiers.
She would command these soldiers to attack and capture the fortress, particularly the internal data of Patrick’s company.
Jane believed that once she had access to this data, every aspect of its operations would be transparent before her eyes.
She only needed to carefully search for any vulnerabilities. After a busy afternoon, a smile appeared on Jane’s face.
She had returned with a full load. However, someone needed to cooperate with her to investigate and execute these findings.
Jane went to her office, where the absolute core elite of the company sat.
She first mentioned her intention to take advantage of the opportunity to acquire Patrick’s company.
“It is indeed a good opportunity, but if we obtain such a company, can it really be revived?” one assistant raised concerns. “Moreover, Harrison won’t just stand by; he will definitely find a way. It will increase the difficulty of our acquisition.”
The assistant was rational, considering everything in the best interest of the company, which led her to voice her judgment.
“Harrison will never have such an opportunity. You all just need to follow my orders and seize the chance, using the best timing to swallow this company bit by bit.”
No one knew what method Jane would employ, but since Jane had made up her mind, they could only follow her lead.
After everyone left, only the assistant remained in Jane’s office.
“Pay attention to the dynamics on the internet. Adjust our team’s plans according to those developments. I’ll email you based on the actual situation.”
“Don’t miss the best opportunities, but also remember what we’re here to do. We can also fan the flames from behind.”
The assistant was somewhat puzzled, but she also had a sense of understanding Jane’s words.
She could tell that Jane had already concluded that a crisis was bound to occur within Patrick’s company. They would take advantage of the situation to make a grand appearance.
This would make Patrick’s company face an even greater crisis, causing the stock to continue its descent. Then they could strike.
After Jane gave a few more instructions, she finally let the assistant leave.
She took out her computer again and after some typing and clicking, a mysterious smile appeared on her face.
The next day, news about Patrick’s company flooded the internet, one wave after another.
No matter what the news was, it seemed to have some semblance of truth, even if it could be considered as evidence.
Even if it was just a rumor, it sounded so real. In any case, Patrick’s company’s stock continued to plummet.
Following Jane’s instructions, members of Jane’s company took advantage of the situation and acquired a considerable amount of stock.
Now Harrison had realized what was happening, but it was too late.
Facing such a low stock price, he couldn’t save the situation with his own abilities. He could only continue to support the company forcefully.
He also knew that the scattered stocks in the market were not enough to allow his company’s ultimate fate to be controlled by others.
Jane released another bombshell online, and although the news was true, she deliberately concealed certain details.
Now, everyone on the internet was discussing Harrison’s incompetence and ignorance.
“No wonder Patrick’s company is facing such huge problems. It turns out the CEO is incapable of managing a company. How can the company develop in a positive direction with someone like him!”
“I really hope the authorities thoroughly investigate Patrick’s company. Otherwise, it’s highly likely that this man will drain it completely.”
Rumors spread online, dividing into two factions.
One faction focused on the company’s management issues, relentlessly pursuing them.
The other faction demanded strict punishment for Harrison.
Initially, these voices were spontaneous from internet users.
But later on, they were intentionally guided, leading to several instances of the company’s stock hitting the limit down.
All of this was orchestrated by the members of Jane’s company.
While Jane’s employees were stirring up trouble from behind the scenes, they accidentally had their identities exposed by internet users.
Harrison, furious, sought out Jane.
“You’re doing a great job of kicking us while we’re down. How can you bear to watch Patrick’s company collapse? Can’t you spare us?”
“This is Patrick’s company we’re talking about. Can’t you believe that I don’t want to see it fail? Can’t you let us off the hook?”
Although Harrison was angry, he knew he had done something wrong.
If Jane hadn’t helped or if Jane didn’t stop, it would be difficult to handle the situation.
“It’s not that I can’t help you or stop. It’s just that I don’t trust you to continue staying in the company. That’s why I’m going to acquire this company!”
Harrison couldn’t agree with Jane’s words, and they argued, resulting in Harrison’s defeat. However, he still refused to let Jane acquire the company.
After the heated argument, they parted ways.
Jane had already anticipated this outcome beforehand.
