BXBX NOVEL Chapter 13: The Talk 3
"First, I want you to sell all of our shares in the company to those bloodsuckers at the highest premium you can get," Xu Qianghua said, a smile appearing on his face.
"Highest premium? Will they agree?" Liu Meiying asked.
"They will because only the shareholder doing the illegal activity knows that the police will come after the company. So, we have to divide the shares and distribute them among the others, but we must get the entire payment upfront instead of in installments," Xu Qianghua said, knowing Liu Meiying understood his plan.
"I see. So you want to divide the shares because you\'re worried they might not pay everything upfront and we\'d have to wait, which would be bad," Liu Meiying nodded.
"Exactly. We need to sell the shares as soon as possible, and you should resign from your position and take any loyal subordinates with you," Xu Qianghua continued, outlining his strategy.
"Then, when the money arrives, we just wait until the police intervene, which will cause the company\'s stock market value to plummet. We will then short the company in the stock market" he explained.
"But when you sell the shares, make them agree not to disclose the transaction for a month by imposing a significant penalty for breach of contract. That way, they won\'t reveal that we sold our shares" he added.
"But won\'t they be suspicious about this?" she asked.
"No, because they know most of the people in the company are either loyal to them or are just there for the job. They\'ll think we simply gave up and sold the shares, which is what we want. They\'ll happily pay us in cash for the shares and for the month of silence, they will just think of it as us trying to save face" Xu Qianghua answered.
"Then what?" Liu Meiying asked, feeling uneasy about being jobless as she was usually busy with work or spending time with family.
"Simple. You\'ll have a month of vacation, but during that time, we have two opportunities to make a lot of money," he smiled.
"I know one of them is to short the shares of Xu Group and profit from that, but what about the other way?" she asked, confused. "You\'re not going to do something illegal, right?"
"No, Sister Meiying, the second one is similar to the first, but we will both long and short two companies. This is going to happen within two days," he explained.
"Oh, and what companies are those?" she asked, curious.
"One of them is the Jiang Group, and the other is the WayFlower Group," he revealed without any suspense.
He did this because he didn\'t have much experience in this area. He preferred a carefree life, so after some consideration, he decided to let Liu Meiying handle it. She had extensive experience in this field. Moreover, he knew she didn\'t enjoy vacations, so this would keep her engaged and prevent boredom.
"Oh, and what will they do that will cause their stock values to rise and fall in two days?" she asked, continuing to nuzzle her head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat.
Xu Qianghua liked it when she did this because Liu Meiying, usually a sassy and sexy businesswoman, would turn into a cute and obedient little kitten.
Then Xu Qianghua told her what would happen soon, leaving Liu Meiying speechless as she did not expect the final results.
"So you are telling me that so many things will happen in one month?" Liu Meiying, who heard the whole story, didn\'t know how to feel. She sighed in frustration and amazement.
Frustration due to how the company she worked so hard for would be ruined because of one shareholder. It was baffling to her as the company was worth around 10 billion.
Although this money is a lot in today\'s society, it is not a big company due to advancing technology. A lot of grunt work is automated, which results in many people losing jobs. Governments tried various ways to get their citizens into different companies with stable careers, making everyone much wealthier than people in Xu Qianghua\'s original world.
Liu Meiying, a business genius, couldn\'t turn a 10 billion company into a huge enterprise because the shareholders wouldn\'t approve any of her projects. They liked the status quo and feared losing their positions if the company grew.
"Yes, and we just have to enjoy our vacation and make a lot of money in these two upcoming events," Xu Qianghua nodded.
"And why are we trying to make so much money?" she asked. "We should have enough to live comfortably after selling the shares."
To this, Xu Qianghua didn\'t answer but instead asked the system, \'Hey system, if I tell her about my rebirth, will anything happen?\'
Yes, he wanted to reveal to Liu Meiying that he was reborn because he trusted her completely and could tell her anything.
[You can tell her, host, but I would keep the details limited until the game starts as knowing too much can alert the world\'s will.]
\'So after the game merges then I can tell her more?\' Xu Qianghua asked the system.
[About the future of the game?]
[You can, but the future will change significantly because of the items you have, which will quicken the time it takes for the world to reach the middle realm compared to your past life.]
\'Okay, I will only tell her that I am from the future and that the world will change because of Immortal Odyssey: Paths of Destiny so that she won\'t be surprised later\' Xu Qianghua decided.
"Sister Meiying, I have something to tell you that might sound unbelievable, but you have to believe me" Xu Qianghua said, holding her head with both hands.
"Huh?" Liu Meiying was a little surprised.
"You see, Sister Meiying, I am a reborn."
