Borut said with a grave expression, "From now on, Ms. Jiang Mingxia is our group's largest shareholder!"
Although Richemont Group was a luxury goods giant, its equity structure had become severely diluted through decades of capital operations.
A stake exceeding 5% was already considered a major shareholder, let alone 30%.
One of the directors couldn't help but ask, "What methods did she use to acquire so many shares of our group in such a short period?"
After all, Richemont Group was one of the three major luxury goods conglomerates.
In the Western capital market, people who had set their sights on it were so numerous they could form a line from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
To think that someone could acquire 30% of the shares overnight, and a woman from Longguo at that, was simply unbelievable.
Borut shook his head, "I don't know the specific methods she used; I just received the news. The previous major shareholders, as if by prior arrangement, all emailed me saying they had transferred their shares to Jiang... President Jiang. I haven't been able to find out anything about this mysterious President Jiang's background yet, only that she is from Longguo."
After the shareholders' meeting, Borut immediately called Jiang Ling and had his accompanying secretary translate.
Although he was the group's CEO, his own shareholding was pitifully small. His position looked glorious, but he was merely a senior employee hired by the major shareholders.
Now that 30% of Richemont Group's shares were in Jiang Ling's hands, he naturally had to quickly pledge his allegiance.
"Hello, this is me. I am Jiang Mingxia, the holder of 30% of Richemont Group's shares!"
Jiang Ling had just returned from the airport and was about to take a bath when she received Borut's call so quickly.
On the other end of the line, Borut was greatly surprised to hear her voice.
He had never imagined that this magnate, capable of acquiring so many group shares overnight, was not only a woman but also so young.
The younger she was, the more cautious Borut became.
Rome was not built in a day, nor could immense wealth be accumulated in just three to five years.
If Jiang Mingxia were an elderly woman, the money used to acquire the shares might truly be her own.
Now that she was so young, the money might not be hers but might come from a prominent family behind her.
What kind of family would casually spend hundreds of billions to buy so many shares for a young girl?
The thought sent a shiver down his spine.
There was no doubt in his mind that this must be the daughter of some super-major family in Longguo.
With this thought, Borut's tone became even more respectful, "Miss Jiang, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Borut, CEO of Richemont Group. I'm calling to discuss the group's operations and to ask if you have any time recently to meet."
"We are separated by thousands of miles, and it's difficult to meet, so there's no need for such trouble. I understand your intentions. I bought shares in Richemont Group because I am optimistic about the company's future development and do not wish to interfere with the group's internal operations. It will be as it was before. You just need to do your job well."
As astute as Jiang Ling was, how could she not see Borut's intentions?
He was undoubtedly worried that after becoming the largest shareholder, she would dictate terms within the group, or even dismiss him as CEO, which was why he was so eager to call and inquire about her situation.
Upon hearing these words, Borut's suspended heart finally found its peace.
