Super Island Tycoon

Jiang Cheng looked at Zhang Manlin and asked, ”What is it? Just say it directly.”

”Well, a company wants to buy our stocks. They’ve offered $1.5 billion for 50% of our shares,” Zhang Manlin said casually.

”$1.5 billion for 50% of our shares?” Jiang Cheng looked at Zhang Manlin with confusion and said, ”Is the person in charge of that company mentally challenged? By the way, what do you mean by bringing this up to me? Can’t we just refuse directly?”

”I don’t know how to say it...” Looking at the documents in her hand, Zhang Manlin forced a smile and handed a document to him.

Jiang Cheng nodded, taking the document, knowing that things weren’t that simple and there must be other reasons.

Jiang Cheng took the document and examined it carefully.

A company called Tengyue Technology proposed to acquire shares of the Cosmic Umbrella Company.

This company’s background is not simple. As detailed in the document, it’s backed by big figures from the Luocheng Government!

After seeing the company’s name, Jiang Cheng understood that the document refers to not so much the company CEO but the person behind the company.

Jiang Cheng knew the rise of Cosmic Umbrella must be affecting these people’s interests. They knew that even under pressure, they couldn’t resist Jiang Cheng suing the company. Meanwhile, they wanted the actual realization of virtual reality devices, which might bring huge benefits. Thus, the other party proposed such a request to buy 50% of Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company’s shares.

If Jiang Cheng refused, she worried he’d face a lot of trouble, whether it be ongoing loan issues from banks, material procurement for the company, or production lines for virtual devices, all could be blocked or even cut off!

Of course, Tengyue Technology didn’t blatantly state this but said it obliquely. Actually, the meaning was the same—

If Jiang Cheng disagreed, the company’s development would face various obstacles, causing all sorts of troubles. That would make Zhang Manlin’s head explode with headaches, no wonder she approached him so cautiously!

Perhaps Zhang Manlin had encountered such troubles before, knowing the seriousness of the matter, she quickly came to consult Jiang Cheng.

”The person trying to pluck the peaches...” Jiang Cheng sneered coldly, surprised to find someone trying to pluck his peaches at this moment!

These people are not only greedy but stupid!

Originally, Jiang Cheng thought having a few armed police as his security was enough to indicate the attitude from above, but some people still ignore this!

Do you really think this peach is easy to pluck?

They’re underestimating Jiang Cheng’s influence too much now!

If Jiang Cheng’s chosen technology wasn’t virtual reality devices but some less influential little gadgets, and these forces came to trouble him, he might not be able to handle them. If Jiang Cheng didn’t relinquish his interests, all aspects of development would be hindered, and the company might go bankrupt.

But now, these people dare to use this scheme against him, truly ignorant of life and death!

Jiang Cheng calmly said, ”Reject them for me.”

Zhang Manlin looked at Jiang Cheng, seemingly wanting to say something but hesitated for a moment before closing her mouth. Jiang Cheng definitely has a solution, she didn’t interrupt and followed Jiang Cheng’s instructions!

”Alright!” Zhang Manlin nodded.

”You go busy yourself first. If there’s anything else, come find me—Also, try to urge nationwide production channels. Before the release date, reach a finished product output of 10 million units. This production of 10 million finished units will probably be in a hurry; subsequent operations will surely be busy.” Jiang Cheng said calmly.

”Yes—” Zhang Manlin turned and left.

Jiang Cheng glanced at the documents not far away and sneered.

These people who love to pluck peaches are the most detestable, truly disgusting.

He took out his phone, preparing to call someone from above...

Actually, Tengyue Technology Company is not entirely at the president’s disposal; although company’s major events and directions should be handled by the CEO, some ordinary matters the president could command regardless. But some department heads always like to go against.

Looks pretty bad.

The CEO doesn’t have much power—What’s left to do?

However, the big directors on the board don’t think like that. They’ve continuously privately controlled the company and seized some power. It’s almost entrenched. They’ve formed a faction on the board and had many conflicts with the president.

Perhaps, truly grown old, the suffocating situation that couldn’t be tolerated when young, but now, the president of Total Teng endures.

As Jiang Cheng speculated, Tengyue Technology’s attempt to take away the Cosmic Umbrella Technology’s peach wasn’t the CEO’s viewpoint. He opposed it but still couldn’t stop the board’s few big bosses’ ambition. From the CEO’s perspective, the people on the board are fundamentally foolish.

In fact, in the eyes of several board bosses, the president is an old-fashioned character. If he hadn’t some ability, he would’ve been fired long ago!

Work is work; still want to oppose my ideas? It’s utterly ridiculous.

Board of Directors Office.

Several directors are discussing how to divide this attempt to acquire Jiang Cheng’s Cosmic Umbrella Technology’s 50% shares.

”Let’s share this through our shares.” A chubby middle-aged man squinted and smiled.

”That’s impossible! I’ve made the most effort, and I want 30%!” A serious expression, glasses-wearing middle-aged man coldly said.

”What do you mean you’ve done most? Just saying a word, does it mean contributing the most?” A sixty-something old man snorted, coldly smiling, ”That’s exactly the number I want!”

The old man made a gesture, ”20%, one-fifth of the shares!”

”You’re delusional!” Another director said.

”What’s delusional about it? Isn’t it natural? There are five of us, shares are 50%, one person is 10%! Very normal!” The old man snorted.

”That’s impossible!

”If it can’t be done, what other methods are there?”

For a moment, the directors began arguing in the office over the benefits they haven’t acquired yet.

Suddenly, the phone rang, someone answered the call, after a while, put down the phone with a slightly different expression.

”Gentlemen, be quiet!” The man spoke up.

Everyone stared at him curiously and quieted down.

”What’s the matter? What happened?” Someone asked.

”The other party refused.” He said.

”What?”

”Cosmic Umbrella Technology, they’ve refused us, very promptly, very decisively refused us,” the man said slowly.

”How dare Cosmic Umbrella Technology refuse?” Fatty squinted, staring at him in disbelief.

”Isn’t this utterly ignorant of the heights of heaven and the depth of earth?”

”Do you think they have the right to refuse?”

”Do they want more money?”

”Simply insatiable!”

”If that’s the case, give them some trouble, let them know no one can refuse us!” The glasses-wearing middle-aged man said coldly.

”You’re right!”
