359: Played a chain trap

As Liu Hua was driven out, Su Yue officially took the chief seat at the shareholder meeting.

The shareholder glanced at Su Yue, placed his hands on his chest, and said in a very flat tone, "General Manager Su, next, you should fulfill the promise you made to us, right?"

Su Yue looked at the few of them eagerly asking for their rewards and couldn't help but laugh, "Don't worry, I'm currently investigating the exact amount. Within a week, I guarantee you'll have a satisfactory answer."

Based solely on the amount on the bills, the shareholders didn't believe that was all the money.

If the money were distributed based on the amount on the bills, many shareholders would likely be dissatisfied and even feel the money wasn't worth it.

Now, Su Yue mentioned combining all the bills, which made them feel that Su Yue was the one genuinely helping them.

The leading shareholder stood up and walked up to Su Yue, "Now you own twenty percent of the shares. From now on, you will be the spokesperson for Huashi Hotel, and we will stay behind the scenes."

Su Yue saw the shareholder wanting to leave and quickly said to them, "I need someone to help, and I myself am from Yuantu Investment Company. It's impossible for me to become your Manager here."

Hearing that Su Yue was unwilling to become the Boss of Huashi Hotel, the shareholder frowned slightly, "You recommend someone. We all know our limitations; almost none of us can become the Boss of the hotel."

They didn't just have Huashi Hotel as an asset, so they had no reason to care about the money from this one hotel.

General Manager Guo watched as Su Yue directed the conversation towards him; how could he not know that Su Yue wanted to use this time to recommend him?

He straightened his clothes and looked at Su Yue with anticipation, as if wanting to see what Su Yue had to say.

Su Yue saw General Manager Guo's gaze on him and couldn't help but point in General Manager Guo's direction, "General Manager Guo is the company's Deputy General Manager. I think he has the ability to lead the company to glory."

Almost all the shareholders turned their gaze to General Manager Guo, as if wanting to see what General Manager Guo's intention was.

General Manager Guo looked at the shareholders' eyes and quickly walked up to them, taking a deep breath, "General Manager Su is willing to let me manage the company; I feel it's my honor."

Su Yue analyzed all the pros and cons, his goal being to let the shareholders know that he had no intention of deceiving them.

Since the shareholders only cared about how much money they received, they didn't care who Su Yue found to manage this hotel.

The leading shareholder took out his business card and placed it in Su Yue's hand, "This is my business card. If you need help with anything in the future, you can find me."

Su Yue casually glanced at the name on it and read it out loud, "Liu Long, I've noted it."

Soon, the shareholders left the meeting room, leaving only Su Yue and General Manager Guo.

General Manager Guo watched them leave, came up to Su Yue with a smile, his face showing an uncontainable joy, "General Manager Su, I never thought you could actually achieve this."

Su Yue shrugged indifferently, "I told you before, if Yu Qing can sit in that position, why can't you? Now, you should believe me, right?"

The position had been given to him, which meant he no longer had upper management above him.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, General Manager Guo eyed Su Yue, "You don't get any benefit from this. Why are you helping me?"

In his eyes, it was impossible for good things to just fall from the sky.

Su Yue saw that General Manager Guo had become hostile towards him and couldn't help but warn him, "General Manager Guo, don't forget, everything you have now is thanks to me."

With just one phone call from him, he believed the shareholders could immediately dismiss this so-called General Manager.

Even though his current position was General Manager, he actually had no shares, meaning all shareholders could find fault with him.

If he had even the slightest problem, Su Yue would have no reason to spare him.

When General Manager Guo heard Su Yue subtly threatening him, he pondered for a long time before finally letting go of his guard.

From his perspective, as long as his salary increased, he felt that was enough.

Because his warning just now was very direct, it gave General Manager Guo a bad feeling.

Su Yue couldn't help but say to General Manager Guo again, "As long as you do well, you won't lack money in the future. None of the people who follow me fail to make money, understand?"

Without staying in the meeting room to chat with General Manager Guo, Su Yue walked outside, as if wanting to report the matters here to Lan Zijun as soon as possible.

Since the matters here had been handled, staying here was simply wasting time.

It didn't take long before Su Yue drove back to Yuantu Investment Company.

Since the rumors about them online had disappeared, Su Yue didn't need to worry about reporters staking out the company entrance.

In just a few minutes, Su Yue arrived at the office and immediately saw Lan Zijun sitting inside.

When Lan Zijun saw Su Yue return, she quickly gave up her seat, "General Manager Su, our hero is back."

Hearing Lan Zijun subtly teasing him, Su Yue quickly shook his head, "Huashi Hotel has been taken down by me."

General Manager Guo was his person, and now both Huashi Hotel and Muxin Hotel had become subsidiaries of Yuantu Investment Company.

As long as Su Yue was willing, both companies could be used by them.

Lan Zijun saw that Su Yue had already dealt with the Huashi Hotel matter and couldn't help but say to Su Yue, "If I'm not mistaken, the stock price of Huashi Hotel is hitting the limit down, right?"

If no one restrained the limit down of Huashi Hotel, he believed it wouldn't be long before the shareholders inside would leave.

And a Huashi Hotel without money, he believed, would be cared about by very few people.

Seeing Lan Zijun say this, Su Yue couldn't help but take a deep breath, "I will consider this matter. I'm thinking about whether to turn against them."

Although he knew doing so wasn't ideal, he felt that businessmen shouldn't have sympathetic hearts.

Hearing that Su Yue already had a way to handle it, Lan Zijun couldn't help but give Su Yue a look, as if wanting to see what Su Yue had to say.

Su Yue took a deep breath and talked about buying shares at a low price.

No matter what, the majority of Huashi Hotel's shares were still in the hands of others, and he didn't want the shareholders to threaten their judgment in the future.

Conversely, the majority of Muxin Hotel's shares were in Su Yue's hands, and he didn't need to worry about anyone influencing his decisions.

Seeing that Su Yue had the intention to buy shares, Lan Zijun couldn't help but call the financial staff into the office.

Because they had recently invested in many companies, there wasn't much money in the account.

If it wasn't handled properly, they wouldn't be able to keep the capital chain running.

When the financial staff heard that Su Yue wanted to buy shares, he frowned slightly, "It depends on how much money you need. If the required amount is not much, I believe our finance department can fully allocate it."

Anyway, many investment projects had brought returns, so he felt that Su Yue would definitely calculate carefully.

Su Yue saw that the finance department was willing to allocate the funds for him and immediately said, "Then I'll handle it according to my plan."

Although he didn't want Liu Long to misunderstand him, he knew that if he didn't acquire Huashi Hotel, these shareholders would most likely oppose his decisions in the future.

To prevent such things from happening in the future, the only thing Su Yue could do was buy all their shares.

Soon, Su Yue returned to Huashi Hotel.

Perhaps because General Manager Guo had never dealt with such matters, the rumors online never subsided from beginning to end.

When General Manager Guo saw Su Yue arrive at his office, he quickly went up to Su Yue, "General Manager Su, our hotel's stock price has been falling. What should we do?"

Hearing General Manager Guo say this, Su Yue couldn't help but look at General Manager Guo, "Let the stock price fall for a while first. I have my plan. If you follow me from now on, I won't let you suffer losses."

From his standpoint, he felt that as long as he helped General Manager Guo make money, General Manager Guo would have no reason to betray him.

Besides, General Manager Guo had no capital to betray him, after all, he didn't even have the most basic shares.

Unknowingly, ten days had passed.

Huashi Hotel's stock price had fallen by eighty percent, meaning the money in the hands of all shareholders had dropped by eighty percent.

It wasn't until now that Liu Long discovered something was wrong.

Although Su Yue had given them a lot of money, that money was insignificant compared to the shares.

If the stock price continued to fall, he believed their shares would become worthless.

Soon, Liu Long brought many shareholders to General Manager Guo's office, wanting to ask what was going on.

General Manager Guo had already been briefed by Su Yue. He arranged for them to sit in the office, his face full of helplessness, "I don't know either. These matters were personally instructed by General Manager Su, and I couldn't disobey orders."

Although General Manager Guo was unable to solve the problem of the continuously falling stock price, if he were handling it, the rate of the stock price drop would definitely not be this fast.

Hearing General Manager Guo say this, Liu Long slammed his hand heavily on the table, "If the stock price continues to fall, how will we compete with Muxin Hotel? Now you listen to me, we must raise our stock price."

Just then, Su Yue walked in from the doorway, a smile on his face, "If I'm not mistaken, there's no room for the stock price to recover now."

Liu Long saw Su Yue walk in from the doorway and immediately blocked his way, "What do you mean by this? Didn't you promise us?"

Su Yue had long known they would make an issue of this. He shrugged indifferently and chuckled, "Huashi Hotel falling to such a state is actually all your own responsibility."

If it weren't for their internal discord to begin with, Su Yue believed he wouldn't have been able to handle such matters even if he wanted to.

Liu Long saw that Su Yue had already made a plan; how could he not know that their shares were useless in their hands now?

Liu Long took a deep breath and looked in Su Yue's direction, "I am willing to give you that portion of money now. Please raise our stock price as soon as possible. We can't just watch a leading enterprise decline."

Su Yue watched Liu Long's gaze fall on him and shrugged indifferently, "To be blunt, the decline of Huashi Hotel has nothing to do with me, and I don't care if it declines."

Hearing Su Yue say this, Liu Long's face turned red with anger. He was speechless for a long time, completely unaware that Su Yue was the type of person who would abandon his tools once the job was done.

Just as the few of them were about to explode, Su Yue's voice entered their ears again, "I can give you a piece of advice now: transfer your shares as soon as possible."

As is well known, stock prices online are transparent.

Almost everyone knew that Huashi Hotel had problems, so how could anyone buy the shares in their hands?

Su Yue saw Liu Long not speaking for a long time and walked up to them, "Maybe no one online will buy your shares, but you can sell your shares to me and General Manager Guo."

When General Manager Guo heard that Su Yue wanted him to buy shares, how could he not know that Su Yue wanted him to choose a side quickly?

If he stood on the shareholders' side, Su Yue might immediately choose someone else to manage this company.

For Yuantu Investment Company, the thing they lacked least was people.

Su Yue saw General Manager Guo's gaze on him and couldn't help but say to him, "General Manager Guo, do you think what I said makes sense?"

Hearing Su Yue say this, General Manager Guo nodded repeatedly, "Yes, no problem."

Liu Long originally thought only Su Yue was interested in the shares. Nobody expected that General Manager Guo was also interested in the same thing.

Instantly, Liu Long understood. The whole thing was a complete trap, designed to make him fall into it.

In just a few minutes, Liu Long seemed to lose all his strength. He sat down on the stool and took a deep breath, "At the current stock price, take them."

He knew that if he didn't agree, Su Yue might let the shares continue to fall.

No matter what, the shares definitely wouldn't end up in their hands.

Since that was the case, Liu Long had no more hope and simply handed over his shares.

Su Yue saw Liu Long's gaze on him and burst into laughter, "Exactly! Why argue with money? Let's sign the share agreement now."

Saying this, Su Yue placed the contract in front of them, asking them to transfer their shares.

General Manager Guo stood behind Su Yue, unsure how many shares he could buy.

Since Huashi Hotel's shares had reached rock bottom, almost all shareholders were selling shares.

Ultimately, Su Yue held seventy-five percent of the shares, and the remaining twenty-five percent was equally divided among three or four small shareholders.

These people were the kind who wouldn't give up until they saw the Yellow River, believing that since Su Yue had bought shares, he should raise the stock price, and they decided to take a gamble.
