I picked up the god-level academic system

Three o'clock in the afternoon, Galaxy Company.

"Boss, everything is ready, we can convene the board of directors." Zhen Hao said.

"Okay, got it." Duan Lingxiao walked towards the conference room with a pile of materials in hand.

"Long time no see, everyone, I heard that shareholders have some thoughts recently?"

As soon as these words came out, the shareholders stared at each other, but no one spoke.

"Sister Chen, have you heard any rumors?" Duan Lingxiao asked tentatively.

After hearing this, Chen Han looked at a few old shareholders. Although they were veteran figures, they were indeed a troublemaker.

"Senior elders, didn't you have opinions before? Now that Ling Xiao is here, you can express them as much as you like."

Several old shareholders looked at each other and bowed their heads in silence.

When Duan Lingxiao saw this, he understood something in his heart. They were all a bunch of paper tigers, so he knew how to discuss them below.

"Okay, since everyone has no other ideas, let me discuss something with everyone."

When Chen Han heard this, he was startled. This guy wasn't going to talk about the acquisition of Pratt & Whitney, was he?

"I think everyone already knows about Shi Hong. From what I know about Pratt & Whitney, do you have any opinions about acquiring this company?"

As soon as Duan Lingxiao finished speaking, all the shareholders present became uneasy. This was simply nonsense.

"Ling Xiao, are you kidding me? Pratt & Whitney cannot protect itself now. If we acquire it, aren't we asking for trouble?"

"Yes, Pratt & Whitney will go bankrupt soon. By then, our Galaxy will be the leading company. If we acquire Pratt & Whitney, we will undoubtedly be asking for trouble."

"That's right, Ling Xiao, this matter is no joke. We can talk about other things, but acquisition is absolutely not possible. If you do this, it will harm the interests of shareholders."

"Ling Xiao, although Pratt & Whitney is now leaderless, if you want to acquire it, you will need at least several hundred million in funds. With this money, we might as well grow Galaxy."

"Yes."

"Yes."

Duan Lingxiao had already guessed what everyone was thinking, but he still wanted to try again.

"Everyone, I know what you are thinking. Yes, Pratt & Whitney is an empty shell now, but there are hundreds of employees in the company. If Pratt & Whitney goes bankrupt, where will these people go?"

"We at Galaxy are a large enterprise. We should not only focus on the profit itself, but also the social effects. I worked hard to find evidence of Shi Hong's crime, not to bring down his company."

Shareholders are basically unwilling to accept this kind of rhetoric. After all, the interests are their own. If they can get millions of dividends a year, who cares about the lives of others.

"Ling Xiao, you are a great hero, and you are indeed worthy of our admiration. But the company belongs to everyone, and you must also consider the shareholders."

"Yes, no matter what you say, it is impossible for us to agree to this acquisition."

Seeing how resolute the shareholders were, Duan Lingxiao felt that these people were so greedy for money that they were unwilling to give in to any interests.

At this time, Chen Han said, "Dear shareholders, I think what Ling Xiao said makes sense. Galaxy will definitely become a leading company in the future. While making money, we must also have social responsibilities."

"What if we lose money? Who will be responsible? Who should we ask for money from?"

"That's right. I don't think there's any need to discuss it. Just show your hands and vote. I don't agree."

"I don't agree either."

"Me too."

Led by one shareholder, other shareholders also stated that they would never support this decision.

Duan Lingxiao felt that there was no hope of acquiring the company through the board of directors, so he might as well do it himself.

"Well, since everyone disagrees, I declare that I will not support this proposal."

As soon as these words came out, shareholders also breathed a sigh of relief.

"But," Duan Lingxiao continued, "I will not give up on Puhui. Since you don't agree, then I will buy Puhui in my own name. I will bear all the profits or losses in the future."

"What?" For a moment, everyone became restless, "Ling Xiao, where did you get so much money?"

"You don't have to worry about this, I have my own way."

"Hmph, let me tell you something ugly up front. We don't care if you use your own money to acquire Pratt & Whitney, but we can't touch the interests of shareholders."

Duan Lingxiao listened to their heartless words and wanted to blast them out directly.

"Don't worry, I will never touch you." After that, he left directly.

For Duan Lingxiao, Puhui is a potential stock, but Shi Hong has not managed it well. As long as Puhui is put on the right track, I believe it will be as famous as Xinghe.

……

A week later, as everyone expected, Pratt & Whitney's stock price plummeted, and the company was in chaos. More than 20 shareholders were discussing what to do in the future.

"Mr. Chen, you are the first shareholder to join. Please tell us your thoughts first." One of the shareholders said.

"Hey," Mr. Chen sighed, "Everyone knows that the current Pratt & Whitney exists in name only. The combined shareholder share of all of us here is only 35%. Don't we have no decision-making power at all?"

"Mr. Chen, are you willing to become the new chairman of Puhui?"

"Becoming the new chairman requires at least 3 million in capital. How can I have this money? I can't even afford it if I sell it."

Mr. Chen is the veteran of Puhui Company. He founded the company with Shi Hong, but his share is only 15%, which is the highest among all shareholders.

If he can't afford it, it will be even more out of reach for others.

When there was silence, Mr. Chen's assistant came in.

"Mr. Chen, there is a man named Duan Lingxiao outside. He wants to meet with the shareholders and says he wants to acquire Pratt & Whitney."

"Acquisition of Pratt & Whitney? Who is this person from? How dare he say such arrogant words?"

"Say he's the chairman of Galaxy Company."

"Let him come in." Elder Chen ordered.

"Yes."

After a while, Duan Lingxiao walked in with a group of people.

"Hello everyone, let me introduce myself first. My name is Duan Lingxiao. I am currently the chairman of Galaxy Company. The purpose of this visit is to acquire Pratt & Whitney, of course, in my own name."

"Personally? Young man, you are so loud. Do you know how much it costs to acquire Pratt & Whitney?" Mr. Chen said with disdain.

"In order to calculate how much money is needed, I invited accountants, auditors, lawyers, and property appraisers. I believe they will give me an answer."

The shareholders saw that he had come prepared, and for a moment, they had no idea.

"Mr. Chen, what do you think we should do about this?"

"Yes, Mr. Chen, please give me an idea. You have the highest share in the company now. We will listen to you."

Mr. Chen fell into deep thought. With the strength of the existing shareholders, he would definitely not be able to afford it, but if this kid purchased it in his own name, other shareholders might have to leave.How to do this?
