Chapter 1026 Seize the Initiative
Harrison was skilled at the tactic of taking action before reporting. He knew that the company was in a life-or-death crisis.
If he didn’t make a choice now, it would be difficult for the company to survive. The next day, he released a smokescreen to the public.
Online discussions had already begun, and Jane’s assistant found Jane and showed her the news.
“What a clever way to divert attention. He thought this could ease the shareholders’ emotions, but he’s wrong!”
“I’ve already told him before to acquire Patrick’s company, but he disagreed. Now he’s playing this merger card, thinking he can get away with it.”
Jane’s expression was complicated as she spoke. She couldn’t fathom how shameless someone could be.
If they had directly refused Harrison, it might have meant that they silently approved of using certain methods to save her. Of course, this was also to help Patrick’s company.
But after their previous argument, Jane had made her stance clear. Yet Harrison still dared to use his reputation to carry out his actions.
This made Jane feel that Harrison had reached a desperate point, and she wouldn’t proactively step forward to speak out.
However, Jane believed that Harrison’s calculations were off. Soon, a bigger bombshell emerged the next evening, a life-or-death revelation.
This revelation fermented online with accompanying evidence.
This time, there was more evidence than before, which simply pointed out the problems with Patrick’s company’s management.
“No wonder they say Harrison is incompetent. This is not incompetence. It’s about stuffing all the money into his own pocket.”
“It seems Harrison has completely ruined Patrick’s company. No wonder the stock has plummeted. It’s understandable.”
Media journalists had already set their sights on Harrison while internet users commented.
When they interviewed Harrison, he sternly warned them.
“Our company will release a statement. Someone is maliciously defaming us online, and we will investigate.”
Although Harrison said so, these journalists’ noses were as sensitive as a dog’s, very sharp.
Through various comparisons of information and data, combined with the evidence released online, they could already confirm the possibility of the situation being true.
The internet was flooded with reports and news, one wave after another.
Jane’s office was filled with smiles, and several people were waiting for Jane’s next command.
When Jane looked at them, she knew what choice to make.
“You’ve all done well before, but you were a bit slow. Now, you need to act faster.”
“We can’t give others a chance. Although I hope to see Patrick’s company in crisis, we must be the ones to resolve that crisis in the end.”
Jane’s intention was clear: she had to have control over the stocks. Only then could she control everything.
But if there were problems even with the basic competition for stocks, if someone took advantage of the situation, Patrick’s company could completely collapse.
“We need to complete the acquisition as soon as possible. Even if we make a big show of our stance, there’s no problem.”
“This will make those companies who want to muddy the waters retreat, and it will be easier for us.”
The others understood Jane’s meaning and nodded in agreement. Jane told them all to go out and get to work.
Now Jane has sent another official letter to Patrick’s company, expressing her attitude.
Harrison never even considered Jane’s intention to acquire the company and directly ignored it.
With such a significant problem in the company, it was only natural for the other board members to convene a board meeting.
For them, the daily stock prices were like knives, cutting into their flesh. They couldn’t just sit idly by.
Several board members called Harrison one after another, asking for explanations, but he struggled to provide satisfactory answers.
Initially, he had hoped that the board members would continue injecting funds, giving the company a chance to see if any miracles could happen and revive it.
That way, they could persist a little longer. Unfortunately, his idea of calling a board meeting to discuss this matter was directly vetoed by the other board members.
Now everyone had lost confidence. If someone could offer them a high price for their stocks immediately, they would willingly sell them. Some board members even intended to sell their stocks to Jane, but the current transfer would result in significant losses.
So these people were still hesitating, constantly urging Harrison, all in the hopes of turning the company’s fortunes around.
“Push, push, push… What can I do? Jane is pressuring us at every step. It’s not like I’m doing nothing.”
Harrison was so frustrated that he smashed the water glass in his hand. Patrick’s uncle frowned beside her. At this point, he felt there was only one option left.
“The others may not be able to persuade Jane, and Jane won’t give them any face either. Now, it’s up to one person to take action. Perhaps it will have some effect.”
“Even if it’s just a slight effect, it will give us an opportunity. But if we continue like this, we’ve already reached a dead end.”
Harrison immediately realized this when he heard these words. He wasn’t dumb; he was just anxious and hadn’t thought of this path before.
He hurriedly went to find Mike because he might be able to make a difference in this matter. After pleading with him, Mike had no choice.
Because no one wanted to see this problem in Patrick’s company, Mike decided to go directly to Jane.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
He hoped that with a genuine attitude, he could touch Jane’s heart and discuss countermeasures together.
This might save Patrick’s company from bankruptcy.
Since Jane had made this decision, how could she easily change her mind? She had no intention of seeing Mike.
So she simply found an excuse to avoid him. Even if Mike was waiting there desperately, she had to be firm.
After all, they had hurt her deeply before, and there was no longer any sentiment between them.
Mike had no choice. In the evening, he had to leave Jane’s company.
Jane continued to instruct her subordinates to continue acquiring the remaining stocks in the market, and some people attempted to contact the shareholders.
