147: Begins to annex the Lin Group, and the embryonic form of Lin Xuan's power emerges

"Bastards? Are you trying to rebel?"

Facing the shareholders, whose faces were contorted in a ferocious expression as they surrounded him, Lin Jianjun felt a chill in his heart, but he still shouted loudly, intending to suppress everyone with the chairman's authority.

But he didn't even stop to think... Lin Corporation was on the verge of bankruptcy, and everyone would be reduced to the same bottom class. Who would still care about an outdated chairman like him?

A tiger with its teeth pulled out is just a cat!

Without Lin Corporation as his backing, Lin Jianjun was naturally nothing!

"Wait, what exactly are you worried about? The company is bankrupt, but I'm still here!"

"As long as you're willing to trust me, with my intelligence and talent, isn't it as easy as drinking water to establish another multi-billion corporation?"

"What I lack now is start-up capital! If you're willing to pool some money for me to operate, I'll definitely give you a tenfold return on your investment in the future."

"..."

Lin Jianjun stood tall, chest puffed out, excitedly narrating his grand ambitions.

Unfortunately, facing his PUA tactics, the board shareholders present all looked at him as if he were an idiot.

These people were all old hands who had been through the mill in the workplace for many years, not newcomers just starting their careers.

How could they possibly believe Lin Jianjun's glib talk?

Especially regarding the ability of this former chairman, they were crystal clear; he was a complete waste.

If it weren't for the solid foundation Lin Corporation had laid back then...

And if it hadn't happened to catch the wave of the times and reap the benefits, with all the blunders Lin Jianjun had made over the years, Lin Corporation might have gone bankrupt long ago... "I've put up with you for too long, Lin Jianjun. You have such little ability, why are you still acting so arrogant?!"

"Hahaha... I'm dying of laughter. Do you really think we're as idiotic as you are! You still want to lead us again? Go take a piss and look in the mirror!"

"Before, we were just flattering you. You didn't actually think the company's creation was due to your own ability, did you? It's laughable, you're just a kept man!"

"Exactly! Without your ex-wife, and having lost the position of chairman, you're nothing now, understand?! You still want to trick me into giving you start-up capital, so you can take the money and run, right?! Trash!"

"Originally, if Young Master Lin had forgiven you, even if we were unhappy, we would have had no choice but to continue calling you 'Chairman'. But I never expected you couldn't even convince your own son! Useless!"

"You will definitely regret it. When you experience the horror of poverty, I can guarantee you'll cry your eyes out and go back to beg your son for forgiveness. But it will be... too late!"

"The more I think about it, the angrier I get! I've been annoyed with your family of three for a long time. Today, I must vent my anger properly and make you pay for all those times you acted arrogant in front of me because of your status!"

"..."

Regarding Lin Jianjun's self-righteousness, the shareholders scoffed and went into mocking mode.

Now the company was destined to go bankrupt.

They just wanted to kick a man when he was down, first severely humiliating and beating Lin Jianjun to relieve the pent-up anger in their hearts.

And listening to those harsh insults, Lin Jianjun froze, his eyes full of disbelief.

In his mind...

He had always been a respected chairman, and the shareholders all admired him greatly.

But now, looking at those exasperated, familiar faces...

Lin Jianjun was bewildered and shocked.

For the first time, he experienced the taste of losing power.

He had thought that even if he wasn't the chairman of Lin Corporation, with his personal charisma, he would eventually leave amidst everyone's blessings.

Then, moving to a new residence and experiencing civilian life wouldn't be bad either.

But the way things were unfolding... it seemed... a little different from what he had imagined... "Forget it, why waste words with him. Let's beat this bastard first."

"Then we still need to find a way to sell our shares."

After reaching a consensus, more than a dozen shareholder representatives approached the Lin family of three with ferocious expressions, rubbing their fists together.

Jie jie jie~~~

"What do you want to do? | _ ・)"

"This is a society governed by law. If you dare to act recklessly, I'll call the police."

Seeing his former colleagues with evil smiles, seemingly intent on wiping them out, Lin Jianjun quickly spread his arms, shielding the trembling Lin Hao and his mother, Bai Yuelan, behind him... Soon.

The Lin family of three stumbled and fell to the ground amidst their mutual shoving.

Seeing the shareholders, with red eyes, raise their fists and surround them, Lin Jianjun quickly lunged, pressing Bai Yuelan and her son beneath him.

Then, he endured the rain of fists relentlessly pounding his back.

Bang bang bang!!!

Indeed, just as the shareholders had mocked... Lin Jianjun had lost everything.

However, he still had his two closest family members, and with them, he could be fearless, spiritually invincible.

At this moment...

Lin Jianjun's eyes were firm, and he took on the responsibility a man should, protecting his wife and child!

Even with blood seeping from the corners of his mouth...

He still endured the pain, offering a gentle smile to his wife and son, as if telling them he was fine... "Daddy~~"

"Husband~~~"

Lin Hao and his mother cried out in alarm, tears streaming down their faces.

Looking at Lin Jianjun, who stood like a copper wall and an iron fortress, blocking their way...

They admitted that for a moment, they were touched, and a strong sense of guilt... and unease... unconsciously rose in their hearts.

As an old saying goes:

The deeper the love, the more painful the wound, and the deeper the hatred.

If one day, Lin Jianjun were to learn an unbearable truth, what terrifying things would he do then?

Lin Hao and his mother shivered, not daring to think any further.

And at this moment...

The hospital's security guards had noticed the commotion and quickly ran over to intervene and call the police ~ (b ･ ω ･).

Seeing this...

To avoid being caught by the police, all the shareholders scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing in all directions, leaving only the Lin family lying on the ground.

And as the three of them were celebrating their survival...

Around the corner of the corridor...

A man wearing a mask was watching them and made a phone call.

"Boss, I've found the Lin Jianjun family."

"Very good. Find a good opportunity and bring them over. Remember! Try not to harm them; I need to use them to get the prescription."

"Understood!"

The masked man hung up the phone, and his peripheral vision caught sight of Lin Jianjun and his family of three getting up, limping as they prepared to leave. He quickly followed... On the other side...

More than a dozen shareholders gathered again, their faces grim, deep in thought about their future path.

"Everyone, what should we do now? Lin Xuan's attitude clearly indicates that he intends to completely sever ties with Lin Jianjun."

"In this situation, no matter how much we plead, it will probably be futile."

"Sigh, today's stock price has fallen to dust. I'm completely hopeless!"

The directors squatted by the flowerbed, sighing, their hearts filled with extreme unwillingness.

"If only I had known! I should have bet on Lin Xuan back then, instead of that good-for-nothing Lin Hao."

"Don't talk about that. Who would have thought Lin Xuan could turn things around? Lin Jianjun, that idiot's attitude back then, clearly showed he wanted Lin Hao to inherit the company! Who would have thought..."

"So much regret! We all had the chance to soar, but that idiot Lin Jianjun ruined it."

"If I could do it again, I would definitely stand firmly by Young Master Lin's side. But there are no if-onlys..."

"..."

The directors gathered together, looking into each other's eyes, comforting each other.

(ﾉ"◑ ◑)ﾉ"(｡ • ́ ︿ • ̀ ｡).

At the same time, they continuously cursed the Lin Jianjun family, filled with remorse.

And just then... a miracle happened!

A man with a face like a horse, incredibly ugly, appeared before them.

"I want to buy your shares! I won't take advantage of your misfortune; I'll buy them at the current market price."

"(Ò ω Ó ױ)!!!"

Hearing the horse-faced man's words, the many shareholders immediately stood up, looking at Ma Yingzhe in disbelief.

Who was this person?

Didn't he know the current situation of Lin Corporation???

Anyone who bought their shares at this time would essentially be looking for death!!!

"Don't waste time! If you want to sell... we'll draft the contract right now and sign the share transfer agreement on the spot."

Hearing the horse-faced man urge them again...

The shareholders looked at each other, completely unable to understand the current situation.

Was there still a chance for Lin Corporation?

Were these shares still useful?!

After all, no one would pay money to buy a pile of useless, defunct shares, right?!

Or was it due to a information asymmetry?

The other party still didn't know about Lin Corporation's impending bankruptcy?

But that also seemed highly unlikely?!

At this moment, some quick-witted old hands among them began to have different thoughts.

But no matter how they thought about it... Lin Corporation's impending collapse seemed to be a foregone conclusion, irreversible...

However, they didn't dare to ask too many questions, fearing that Ma Yingzhe, this 'sucker,' would realize later and then back out of buying their shares. What would they do then???

"Not selling, huh? Then forget it!"

And seeing this group of people hesitate for a moment, Ma Yingzhe sneered and turned to leave.

He was certain that this group of people, having no other options, would eventually sell their shares to him.

Otherwise, these worthless shares would be of no use in their hands.

To be honest!

If it weren't for Lin Xuan's orders...

Even if these people offered to give him the shares for free, he wouldn't bother with them.

"Wait, sir. We didn't say we wouldn't sell!"

Sure enough.

Seeing Ma Yingzhe turn and leave without hesitation, the directors of Lin Corporation immediately panicked and rushed to catch up.

They had finally encountered a sucker.

If they let him get away, their shares would truly be worthless.

If they sold the shares now, they could at least recoup some small amount, which was better than nothing.

As for why the other party wanted to buy the shares, or even the other party's background and identity, they no longer cared.

Anyway, Lin Corporation's collapse was inevitable; if you quickly bought the shares, it would be a blessing.

Perhaps this sucker... was just rich and foolish.

The various directors looked at each other, all able to see the relief in each other's eyes, as well as the ridicule for Ma Yingzhe, this 'fool'... 1 hour later!

Amidst the nervous and expectant gazes of the group's directors, the share transfer agreement was successfully signed.

Phew~~~

The moment the names were signed...

All the major shareholders breathed a sigh of relief, finally showing smiles on their faces.

They were very relieved that no accidents occurred during the signing process, and they finally managed to transfer the hot potato in their hands.

Although the price was shockingly low, it was better than being stuck with them, right?...

Looking at Ma Yingzhe's departing back, everyone's faces showed sympathy.

"Although I don't know why this sucker would buy our worthless shares, he'll probably regret it very soon, right?"

"Who cares if he regrets it or not? Once the contract is signed, it can't be revoked. And we've already received the money, so they can't make us return it, right!"

"Sigh! The only pity is... the price was too low. All our shares combined, at the stock price a month ago, would have been worth at least several billion. But now they only sold for 10 million."

"A huge loss! My heart bleeds just thinking about it. If only I had known, I would have sold them when the stock price was at its peak."

"Don't be a Monday morning quarterback. You couldn't bear to sell them back then. It's good enough that we can sell them now; be content!"

"That's true, let's go! I'll treat everyone to a meal at a snack stall, and we can discuss our future development while we eat..."

"..."

Having lost their status as shareholders of Lin Corporation, everyone felt both relieved and fortunate, exclaiming that they had encountered a sucker and were lucky to have gotten a great bargain.

And at this moment...

The 'sucker' they spoke of was sitting in the back seat of a taxi, looking at the share transfer agreement in his hand, a slight smile appearing on his horse-like face.

At the same time, a sense of honor, having fulfilled his mission, rose in his heart.

"As expected of the shareholder representatives of Lin Corporation; a dozen people combined actually held a total of 20% of the shares."

"Under normal circumstances! These shares would be worth at least 2 billion, but now I've acquired them for 10 million."

"Actually, I could have negotiated the price even lower. But the boss said... to act quickly within a few days and not to worry too much about small gains..."

Although he wasn't clear about Lin Xuan's specific plan...

Ma Yingzhe firmly believed that his boss's acquisition of these shares definitely had a way to make them realize their proper value.

And what he needed to do... was to quickly consolidate the shares of Lin Corporation.

"The boss said... Lin Jianjun holds 55%, so he'll be left for last."

"Let's first reclaim the remaining 20%! And as for those people the boss mentioned, I won't contact them..."

Through his foresight, Lin Xuan knew that while most of Lin Corporation consisted of opportunistic individuals...

There were also a very small number of talented people loyal to the company.

Lin Xuan would not touch this group of people, giving them the opportunity to follow him, considering them his first wave of core staff for the future.

After all, the operation of a company ultimately requires people to run it.

And Lin Xuan had made up his mind to be a hands-off boss.

So, he could only look for reliable and loyal subordinates...
