Chapter 1456 1451: One Billion US Dollars
Su Chen certainly didn't buy it on a whim; he studied it thoroughly!If nothing unexpected happens, Su Chen estimates he'll just be killing time at the company today.
But today clearly isn't about him just killing time.
The company's top-floor conference room, the familiar scene again, but the people aren't the same as before.
The person sitting in the main seat today is not Lin Xi.
"... Little Xi, your uncle did do something wrong before; I've already criticized him."
The person sitting in the main seat now is a middle-aged man in a suit, with a faint resemblance to Lin Xi; he likely was quite handsome in his youth.
Yes, even now, he still looks quite presentable.
"Hmm." Lin Xi responds with a soft, noncommittal sound.
"Ahem, Little Xi, I'm here today primarily for one reason..."
"Uncle, if you're here today about the Yimena shares, there's no need to talk. Previously, when Yimena faced difficulties, my uncle decided to sell his Yimena shares, and I don't blame him; after all, it's understandable."
"Sigh, it's great that you think this way; I truly feel embarrassed for your uncle," Lin Xi's uncle agrees.
But Lin Xi changes the tone: "However, if you intend to reclaim that ten percent of shares now, I won't agree."
"Little Xi, you can't say that..."
"Uncle, you should be clearer than I am about what you've done. I had already compromised with the family and agreed to that marriage proposal. When Yimena faced difficulties, I sought your help, but you didn't see a future for Yimena. I don't blame you, because if business were easy, everyone would do it."
"But if you can't share the hardships, how can you share the prosperity? When Yimena struggled, you weren't there, and now that it's back on its feet, you come around. There's no such logic in the world," Lin Xi says firmly.
"Little Xi, you can't say that. First, the marriage proposal from the family was for your own good. Also, you knew what kind of difficulties Yimena faced before. If the Lin family had rashly supported you, it could have shaken its own foundation, and that risk couldn't be taken."
"That risk couldn't be taken, so what risk can be taken? Now that Yimena is earning again, you are willing to take that risk?" Lin Xi mocks.
"Bang! Lin Xi, do you know who you're talking to?!" Lin Hanyi slams the table in anger.
Selling ten percent of Yimena's shares certainly benefited him greatly, but now it seems that Yimena's shares will only become more valuable. So he communicated with the family and had his older brother approach Lin Xi to reclaim the ten percent of shares.
At that time, he held twenty-five percent of Yimena shares, which granted him some say in Yimena.
Now, Lin Xi holds over sixty percent of Yimena shares alone, making him seething with envy.
He wishes he could tear off a chunk from Lin Xi.
Ten percent of shares is merely his bottom line in claiming shares from Lin Xi this time; if possible, he wouldn't mind obtaining more shares from Lin Xi!
But now, it seems even ten percent of the shares won't be given by Lin Xi.
"I'm talking to my uncle," Lin Xi responds in a supremely calm tone.
Yet her calm composure makes people even more uneasy.
Lin Xi's uncle holds back Lin Hanyi, looking at Lin Xi with a heavy gaze: "Little Xi, the reason the family couldn't support you has its explanations, but currently, your uncle holds too few Yimena shares. You have to at least offer ten percent to supplement your uncle. But rest assured, the family won't let you suffer a loss; I'll compensate you with five billion."
"Heh..."
A snicker emerges from the gathered crowd behind Lin Xi.
This causes Lin Xi's uncle's face to turn sour.
"Who's laughing?" Lin Hanshu asks solemnly.
"Sorry uncle, I couldn't help it, haha..." A professional-looking woman dressed in a straight skirt, holding files, covers her mouth with a giggle... well, she seems to be quite shameless.
"What's funny about what I said?!"
"As far as I know, Chairman Lin sold ten percent of shares for more than ten billion before, and now you're offering five billion for Lin's ten percent shares, isn't that funny?" The girl widens her innocent eyes.
"This is a family matter; you, a meddlesome girl, are interfering too much. I see you like to meddle; you don't need to work here anymore. You can settle your salary at the finance department and resign now!" Lin Hanshu says forcefully.
He himself doesn't hold any position within Yimena Company, but he boldly bypasses Lin Xi, issuing a dismissal notice with the authority of being Lin Xi's uncle.
The straight-skirt girl merely smiles, remaining silent.
"Didn't you hear me?" Lin Hanshu, feeling embarrassed, asks; his word doesn't work? Is the world upside down? Lin Xi is his niece, and although he's not any level of leadership within Yimena Company, his word is supposed to be law, a truth within Yimena!
Yet now even a mere employee doesn't pay him any attention?
"Little Xi, tell her, does my word count? Aren't you going to let her pack up and leave?" Lin Hanshu turns his aim towards Lin Xi.
Lin Xi doesn't reply.
The previous straight-skirt girl slightly smiles at Lin Xi's uncle and says, "Uncle, let me remind you first, I'm the newly hired legal advisor for Yimena Group's legal department. Hmm, I have a contract with Yimena, and if I'm terminated, Yimena Company will unconditionally compensate me ten billion US dollars."
"Ten billion US dollars?! Are you crazy?!" Lin Hanshu exclaims wide-eyed.
What's the whole value of Yimena? Ten billion US dollars is nearly half of Yimena's value, and the shares Lin Xi currently holds, if truly valued, probably amount to ten billion US dollars.
Who is this girl?
"It's written in black and white in the contract; it's not me who's crazy." The straight-skirt girl shrugs innocently.
Lin Hanshu immediately is unwilling to provoke this thorn, but he hasn't achieved his goal for coming today, so he won't just let it go.
"Little Xi, if you're not satisfied with the price, I can offer more. How about this: whatever your uncle sold his shares for, I'll offer him the same amount; what do you say?"
"Brother..."
"Shut up!" Lin Hanshu reprimands.
Lin Hanyi, although reluctantly, keeps quiet.
Now even a fool can tell that Yimena's shares are more valuable.
But who wants to give up money that's already in hand?
