You're all crazy.
Enraged, Chen Sancang smashed the cup to pieces after hanging up the phone. Dammit, everyone is picking on me.
Everyone is making things difficult for me. Is it easy for me to work here? I even have to serve a rare Brother Long. What kind of bad karma did I, Chen Sancang, accumulate in my past life to suffer such torment?
The trouble started with Fuzhou Machinery, but I, Chen Sancang, will not take the blame.
He immediately dialed the phone, and after ringing for a long time with no answer, Chen Sancang flew into a rage. This was a streak of bad luck.
This Li Ming is tired of living. As Chen Sancang was cursing, he suddenly froze. Dammit, I, Li Ming, apparently sent him to jail, and he's now eating free boxed meals.
Chen Sancang felt a pang of anguish. Dammit, such a perfect scapegoat, and I sent him to eat boxed meals. There's no justice!
It seems I'm truly unlucky this time. As the saying goes, "Bad luck can't be blamed on society."
After a moment's thought, Chen Sancang dialed Li Yu's number: "Chairman Li Yu, congratulations, congratulations. I, Chen Sancang, have something I wanted to discuss with you..."
"Okay, okay, I understand. It's all Li Ming's fault. I get it," Li Yu said before hanging up.
Chen Sancang's call came at the perfect time, making him and Chen Sancang natural allies. Otherwise, Li Yu would have a headache thinking about the Chen family, and he wouldn't have to find ways to suppress the stock price.
It seems I've been blessed with good luck. I am indeed destined to be a wise and powerful leader. Li Yu was quite pleased.
...
Zhang Tianxing saw the news and burst into laughter. Guo Jiajia asked curiously, "Boss Zhang, why are you so happy?"
"My B-shares have been unlocked. My money can be used soon," Zhang Tianxing said joyfully.
"Aren't there still three companies that have announced a trading suspension?" Guo Jiajia asked in confusion.
"At this point, they'll definitely resume trading first. If you don't make money when it's there, you're a fool!" Zhang Tianxing said with a smile. The market is bustling with activity, and everyone is after profit.
"Then wouldn't they be slapping themselves in the face? Applying to resume trading right after suspending it, isn't that a waste?"
"This is a society full of privilege, a society where anything goes. We can't change it, we can only learn to accept it. Under the established rules, we just need to achieve our goals. Just remember one thing: existence is reasonable!" Zhang Tianxing said with feigned profundity.
Inside the conference room of Huaxia Software Company.
Numerous executives gathered, with Chairman Fan Dongyang presiding.
"Gentlemen, it can be said without exaggeration that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our factory. However, where should our company go from here? What choice should we make? This is the focus of our meeting today. Regarding this rare opportunity with B-shares, should we resume trading directly, or let nature take its course?"
Upon hearing the chairman's words, the room erupted in discussion, and Fan Dongyang couldn't hear anything clearly.
"Quiet down, one by one. Speak clearly, and you'll be rewarded. If we operate effectively, we will usher in an era of soaring growth. Everyone, share your thoughts. One person's plan is short-sighted, but three people's plans are wise. There are no outsiders here, so speak your minds openly and let's figure out the most beneficial course of action."
After Fan Dongyang finished speaking, silence fell over the crowd, and no one spoke first.
Seeing this, Fan Dongyang became increasingly displeased. A disloyal army exhausts its commander.
Leading this broken company has truly worn him out.
Noticing Fan Dongyang's displeasure, his capable subordinate Wu Hong cleared his throat, "Chairman, allow me to share my humble opinion and let everyone hear it. See if I'm right. I hope it will serve as a starting point for discussion."
Fan Dongyang nodded. Fortunately, Wu Hong was there; otherwise, he would have to carry the conversation alone.
"It's like this. The current situation is definitely a huge boon for B-shares, unprecedented even. There won't be such an opportunity again. This is a one-time deal, and we can't miss it. If we're not in the game this time, by the time we enter, the surrounding environment might have changed, and it will be difficult to say," Wu Hong said slowly and gestured around, nodding. "My view is simple. This is a piece of meat, and only B-shares get to have it. If we suspend trading and miss out, it's like missing the boat. Therefore, I believe we must resume trading and take a bite!"
"Manager Wu, I beg to differ. Have you forgotten why we suspended trading? Our suspension had strategic cooperation significance. Granted, we missed an opportunity for stock price appreciation, but have you considered the potential losses if this strategic cooperation fails?"
"I have considered it. The failure of strategic cooperation would result in losses for both parties, but I can assure you that the other party will be in a superior position. Because it was agreed from the start that our company would suspend trading while the other party compensated for the corresponding losses. If we resume trading, are we going to spit out the meat we've already got? Who would spit it out, and how much?" Huang Zixing said coldly from the side.
Everyone was rendered speechless by this. Huang Zixing's words were always so sharp and to the point, making him thoroughly unlikeable.
However, what he said was the truth. When they suspended trading, they had already reaped all the benefits from the Chen family. Now, if they resumed trading, the Chen family would surely have something to say.
The Chen family alone was not a major concern, but no one wanted to create unnecessary trouble, especially since there were one or two difficult individuals in the Chen family.
Fan Dongyang frowned deeply. "How about this, let's resume trading. The company will directly reduce its holdings then and complete our industrial layout. As long as Huaxia Software completes that industrial plan, regardless of whether it's the Chen family or anyone else, they'll have to treat Huaxia Software with respect. Secretary Hu, please issue an announcement immediately stating that our company will resume trading tomorrow."
"Yes, I understand. Do I still need to inform Huaxia Shipbuilding?" Hu Fangfang asked, bending slightly to ask Fan Dongyang for instructions.
"No need to worry about that. Just focus on our own matters. Director Bao is a man with influence. We just need to do our jobs well," Fan Dongyang said slowly.
At the same time, Huaxia Shipbuilding made the same decision. Director Bao delivered the final verdict: "Let the market decide the outcomes in market affairs. Let's have less artificial interference. No one can predict where we will ultimately end up. We often overthink and let go too little, resulting in nothing accomplished."
This hurdle was beyond anyone's control. Although the three companies made the same choice, the price they paid would surely be different, and the heights they ultimately reached would also be different.
