Chapter 147
Chapter 147 Humiliation Karina learned that there was a trillion—dollar fund as a backing, and her anxious heart finally settled.
She was well aware that the main purpose of all the shareholders of the Huber Group coming over tonight to demand an explanation was to immediately break away from the Huber Group.
These shareholders were worried that the Huber Group would harm their interests after purchasing the South City plot.
With Wayne’s funds received.
Once the Huber Group’s equity in the hands of these shareholders was cashed out on the spot, no one said anything anymore. “Robin, thank you.” Karina looked at Robin, her eyes slightly moist.
Robin smiled indifferently and said, “Tomorrow will be better.”
Karina thought that Robin was comforting her, choking back tears as she said, “If it weren’t for this money, even with my grandfather’s old face, it would probably be difficult to pass smoothly today.”
She didn’t know that tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, the city government would announce an explosive news.
The Hallcester government focused on investing in the southern area of the city in the next twenty years.
As soon as this news was released, trillions of capital would pour into the southern city block within a very short period of time. Chapter 147 Hum
Back then, the Huber family’s investment of one trillion would grow at several times the speed every day!
If these shareholders really signed the agreement to withdraw their shares from the Huber Group tonight, they would probably regret it to the point of spitting blood.
At that moment, Nia called and said, “Karina, where are you now? Can | come over and pick up the money?” Last night, Nia left in a hurry because she had to go on a mission.
Devin’s four billion cash was temporarily stored in a small vault at the Huber Edifice.
“Nia, | am currently at the Huber Edifice, come over, | am waiting for you in the Conference Room for Executives.” Karina and Robin returned to the conference hall.
All shareholders looked at them with strange expressions in their eyes.
“Ladies and gentlemen, | am well aware of the purpose behind your visit tonight as shareholders. You are concerned about your interests. being compromised within the Huber Group.”
“But | did not back down because of it.”
“Today, the Huber family invested billions to enter the southern city plot, which was by no means a momentary impulse.” “Tonight, | wouldn’t give you any further explanation about a so-called detailed investment plan.”
“Since | sat in this position, | had the authority to decide the direction. of the Huber Group.”
“And besides, the investment in the southern plot of land has already become a fact, even if you are unwilling, you cannot change it
anymore.”
Shawn angrily slammed his cane on the ground a few times, “It’s simply child’s play! We have put in half of our life’s efforts, and yet you have ruined it! If it weren’t for the sake of my elder brother’s reputation, 1...”
Karina calmly said, “Mr. Sherman, you don’t need to worry about anyone’s face. Don’t say so many hypocritical words.” Shawn angrily pointed at Karina, “You, how dare you speak like this?! Your grandfather and I...”
Karina didn’t wait for him to finish speaking and said indifferently, “If you really cared about the loyalty of starting a business with grandpa, you wouldn’t have forced me and the Huber family into this situation. today!”
Shawn's face turned red, and he trembled with anger, but he couldn’t say a word.
Karina glanced around the conference hall and continued, “Ladies and gentlemen, if you have lost confidence in the Huber Group’s significant investment this time, you can withdraw your shares!”
“Yesterday, my grandfather already mentioned in the meeting that if anyone wants to withdraw shares from the Huber Group, the Huber family will not have any objections.",
“All of you present here have once followed the Huber family from weakness to strength, and have contributed to the glorious present of the Huber Group.”
“When did you lose faith in the Huber family, you can request to withdraw at any time, and the Huber Group will immediately redeem your equity at the highest market value price!
“The current situation is meaningless no matter what is said.
“| have 20 share transfer agreements here, and any shareholder can sign and withdraw their shares on the spot. The Huber Group will not create any difficulties, and furthermore, cash will be provided immediately!”
“Ah? Cash on the spot?” Everyone was shocked by Karina’s words. If all the shareholders on site were to cash in their equity in the Huber Group, it would require at least over 20 billion. Did Karina want to convert it into cash?
Today, the Huber Group invested billions to purchase the land in the southern part of the city. Will the Huber Group have more money in the future?
Could it be that Karina deliberately displayed this posture to intimidate them?
Harold was also startled.
The Huber Group had no money left!
He came over with Camdyn tonight, just to support Karina.
Worried that Shawn and Ernest, these old guys, would use this matter to pressure Karina.
But isn’t Karina causing trouble for herself by saying these things now?
| wanted to stop Karina, but it has come to this point, there is no way
anymore.
At this moment, in the conference hall of the Huber Group
shareholders‘ meeting, the silence was so profound that one could hear each other’s heartbeat.
Shawn, Ernest, and other senior shareholders never expected that Karina would dare to say such words.
All shareholders knew that today the Huber Group used its only 50 billion dollars of liquid funds.
The Huber family borrowed 50 billion dollars from six or seven banks, using all of their fixed assets and equity as collateral. Just enough funds were gathered to purchase the land in the southern part of the city.
At this moment, the Huber family should have run out of money.
According to Karina’s current statement, all shareholders who withdraw their shares will be cashed out on the spot. Suddenly, everyone’s heart started pounding.
Did the Huber family really have the confidence to say that they would cash in their equity on the spot?
You should know that the combined equity in the hands of the twenty shareholders amounted to nearly 30 billion. This was not a small amount.
However, if Karina didn’t have so much cash, how could they dare to propose the idea of selling their shares and cashing out at this critical moment?
In the Conference Room for Executives of the Huber Group.
Twenty shareholders were calculating the pros and cons of this matter in their minds.
Over the years, following Harold, Camdyn, and Karina, they earned at lot of money and gained a certain status in Hallcester. More than 90% of the shareholders here were penniless followers of Harold back then, and they have become billionaires today.
The Huber family made a significant decision this time, which suddenly made them feel that the wealth in their hands could possibly vanish overnight.
Coupled with rumors circulating online and in the community, it made them even more uneasy. In the face of interests, they had long forgotten the kindness that the Huber family had once shown. In the conference hall, everyone remained silent for a while.
Shawn sneered, “Karina, what do you mean by this? Are you suggesting that we raise these questions now and you don’t need to explain, just asking us to withdraw our shares?”
Everyone understood that Shawn said so, he wanted to push the responsibility for leaving the Huber Group shareholders’ meeting onto Karina.
Ernest immediately understood and agreed, “Karina, it hasn’t been easy for us to come this far with Mr. Harold in creating the Huber Group. And now you're suggesting that we withdraw from the Huber Group shareholders’ meeting.”
Karina understood that Shawn and Ernest, these two old foxes, spoke these words because they did not want to be labeled as ungrateful.
So, in a cold voice, he said, “Since Mr. Sherman and Mr. Roberson have already made it clear that they are unwilling to withdraw their shares and exit the Huber Group, forget it then, Karsyn, take back their withdrawal agreement.”
“You!” Shawn and Ernest stood up together. “I didn’t say that! | just need you to give us a reasonable explanation!” Robin chuckled, “Wanting to be a role model and wanting to be praised, isn’t it tiring?”
“Why not just sign the withdrawal of shares directly?”Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“You! Ignorant brat! How dare you insult me? I...” Shawn slammed the table and roared angrily. “You old bastard, what’s wrong with scolding you!” Robin said indifferently, slapping his hand on the table.
“Bang!” The enormous conference table instantly shattered into pieces, and Shawn, unable to support it, fell to the ground. The scalding hot water cup on the table spilled all over his head and face.
“Hiss!”
The entire conference hall fell silent again, suffocatingly.
Disheveled Shawn wiped the tea leaves off his face and was about to roar in anger.
However, when he saw Robin's half-smiling face, the words stuck in his throat and he swallowed hard.
Suddenly, | remembered that it was rumored that Conway had beaten up Barry so badly that his teeth were scattered all over the ground.
This kid must have been a tough character. Chapter 147 Humiliation
The wood used for the Huber Group conference table was made from a type of wood called blackwood, which is as hard as iron blocks.
Robin slammed his palm on the table, causing the conference table to shatter into pieces. If he dares to provoke him again, it is hard to say whether Robin’s palm will slap him on the head.
Shawn no longer concealed it and directly tore off that fig leaf, coldly saying. “I have at least 8 billion shares in my hands! Karina, you promised immediate cash redemption upon withdrawal of shares, and tonight is the deadline!”
Karina coldly pointed at the agreement. “Shareholders, those of you who want to withdraw your shares, can sign now.”
Shawn picked up the pen and suddenly caught sight of Harold sitting behind him. He awkwardly said, “Brother, that’s not what | meant. It’s just that over the years, my family business has also grown bigger, and there are many aspects that require money. If...”
Harold nodded with a smile, “It’s alright, Shawn. You have been following me for decades. Back when we were conquering the world barefoot, we were full of passion and only cared about loyalty, not money.”
“After all these years, it seems that it wasn’t entirely correct. Money still matters.”
“It's okay, you can withdraw your shares.”
Shawn let out a long sigh and said, “Big brother, I’m sorry, there’s nothing | can do, | really can’t.” Ernest also stood up and said, “Mr. Harold, it’s not that | am heartless or unkind, | am also...”
Harold nodded and said. “I understand! The investment in the southern part of the city was also my final decision. | cannot guarantee that it will definitely make money.
“Alright, let's not say anything more. Let’s work together and part ways amicably.” Shawn and Emest, as shareholders, were not bothered much and directly signed their names on the withdrawal agreement.
Several shareholders saw that the two elders had already signed to withdraw their shares, and they also followed suit and signed.
There were still ten shareholders watching the scene in front of them, hesitating to make a move. Shawn glanced at them and said, “What are you hesitating for? Ms. Huber said...”
Ashareholder named Harry Lyons shook his head and said, “Mr. Sherman, we have followed the Huber Group together until today, from nothing to the present prominence, all thanks to the Huber family.”
“Now, when the Huber Group is in need of money, we are worried about withdrawing so much cash due to the fear of investment failure.”
“This is so unfaithful!”
“Hehe, Mr. Sherman, you were the earliest veteran to start a business. with Mr. Harold. You, of all people, should not have done this. It’s really outrageous!”
“In conclusion, | did not withdraw my shares!”
