"Then let's go with 15 million!"
Ye Lingchen stopped in his tracks. He pondered for a moment, then looked at Ouyang Qing. "How many shares are you confident you can acquire?"
"These people are getting restless. I'm confident I can acquire more than 30%!" Ouyang Qing said. "Together with the 30% I'm giving to everyone, you'll have 60% of the shares."
With 60% of the shares, Ye Lingchen would definitely be the largest shareholder. He would have the right to decide the fate of Wanrong Automobile Group.
Ouyang Qing was unwilling, but there was nothing she could do. Compared to that, the collapse of Wanrong Group was more unacceptable.
"Mr. Ye Lingchen, I hope you'll treat Wanrong Group well," Ouyang Qing looked at Ye Lingchen and could not help but say.
"Hehe, don't worry. Wanrong Automobile Group is now my company. It won't be the same as before." Ye Lingchen smiled, his tone filled with confidence. "By then, autonomous driving technology will only be in its infancy."
He had always wanted to establish a technology company. Wanrong Group had a good foundation. With such an opportunity, he would be letting himself down if he did not acquire it.
"It's best if I can acquire all the shares from the other shareholders!" Ye Lingchen's eyes lit up, then said to Ouyang Qing, "When you go back, do as I say …"
Sunday was a normal weekend. However, news regarding Wanrong Automobile Group was still everywhere. At that time, all sorts of negative news came one after another. In just two short days, Wanrong Automobile Group's estimated loss was over one billion!
That one billion was not a real asset. It was an intangible asset accumulated from reputation, termination of cooperation, and lawsuits.
All in all, Wanrong Automobile Group's loss could only be described as devastating. From a super large company, it was reduced to a third-rate company. The collapse of the company was imminent.
However, under such circumstances, an extremely shocking piece of news suddenly came out, causing a sensation on the entire internet.
Y Cosmetics' Weibo would occasionally teach people some beauty tips. Their monthly lucky draw was also conducted on Weibo. Due to that, they had a lot of followers and were definitely a big name on Weibo.
On that day, many people habitually opened Weibo to check on Y Cosmetics' updates. However, they were slightly stunned after opening it. One of them realized that he had entered the wrong Weibo account. When he exited the account and reopened it, he was still confused.
'What's going on? Y Cosmetics posted the wrong status on Weibo? '
The comments below exploded.
[F * ck! F * ck me! Y Cosmetics wants to acquire Wanrong Automobile Group?!]
[Wait! Let me think about it. Y Cosmetics is a cosmetic store, right? Wanrong Automobile Group was in the automobile industry, right? You can even buy it?!]
[The previous poster is an idiot! As long as you have money, you can even buy Mars if you want.]
[This twist caught me off guard. My mind is a little confused. What's going on?]
[The spectators can't understand what's going on. I'll give this maneuver a zero.]
[First of all, it's fine if they made a cross-industry acquisition, but they even bought a company that's on the verge of bankruptcy. Does Y Cosmetics not have enough money to spend?]
[Awesome! I feel like a mouse swallowing an elephant. It's amazing …]
…
It wasn't just the onlookers. People from all walks of life were stunned. A cosmetic store acquiring a car company. Not only was this unprecedented, but it was also unimaginable. This was simply the weirdest thing in the world.
Wanrong Automobile Group was already in the eye of the storm. Once the news came out, it became even more popular. In an instant, the news was everywhere!
Many reporters rushed to Wanrong Automobile Group's headquarters to verify it. Some even went to Y Cosmetics for confirmation.
Y Cosmetics was surrounded by people outside. People from all walks of life had surrounded the store.
Zhang Yunxi looked at the situation helplessly, smiling bitterly in her heart.
When she heard that Ye Lingchen was going to acquire Wanrong Automobile Group, her reaction was just as intense. However, she still had to listen to Ye Lingchen's words. She had already prepared her speech in her heart.
"Miss Zhang Yunxi, is it true that Y Cosmetics is going to acquire Wanrong Automobile Group?"
"It's true! We've already reached an agreement with the CEO of Wanrong Automobile Group! "
"Then how are you going to acquire it? Is it through funds or something else? "
"This is a trade secret. I can't tell you."
"Wanrong Automobile Group is on the verge of bankruptcy. Why are you still so confident in acquiring it?"
"Wanrong Automobile Group has always been the symbol of China's automobile industry! I don't want our country's benchmark to fall just like that. Also, although their autonomous vehicle technology failed, failure is the mother of success. The automobile technology they have is still the world's leading! I don't want their technology to disappear just like that, because it'll be a loss for our country! "
That answer immediately received cheers from many people. Their reputation was starting to show signs of being cleared.
"Then how are you going to develop Wanrong Automobile Group in the future?"
"In the future, Wanrong Automobile Group will be renamed to Wanrong Technology. It will be a company under Y Group. Our Y Cosmetics is also a company under Y Group."
The term Y Group appeared in everyone's field of vision for the first time. Many people felt that this group seemed to have great ambitions. Since they acquired an automobile company, would they continue to acquire other companies in other industries?
"May I know who the boss behind Y Group is? Is he related to those Ys that are circulating on the internet?"
"No comment!"
…
At the same time, Wanrong Automobile Group was also surrounded by reporters. However, they were stopped outside the building. On the bulletin board outside the building, it was already confirmed that Wanrong Automobile Group had been acquired by Y Cosmetics.
In the conference room, all the shareholders were seated together with ashen expressions.
"Chairman Xu, it's only been one night. How did this happen? Is it true? "One of the shareholders could not hold back his anger.
Chairman Xu's expression was calm as he spoke calmly, "I took out 18% of my 30% shares, while Chairman Ouyang took out 12% of his 21% shares. That's a total of 30% shares for Y Cosmetics. In other words, Y Cosmetics has the most shares and is the biggest shareholder of our company."
His words made all the shareholders even more anxious. One by one, they stood up, their faces filled with grief and anger.
"Letting a cosmetic store acquire our company? You're pushing our company into a pit of fire! This is the end! "
"Chairman Xu, everyone knows the company's current situation. You're being too disloyal! If you sell your shares for cash, what about the rest of us? "
"That's right! I told you yesterday that I wanted to give up my shares, but you didn't say anything. Now you're playing dirty! I don't care. You must take over my shares! "
"A cosmetic store has the most shares in our automobile company? That's a joke! Chairman Xu, I want to withdraw my shares too! According to our company's market value, I have 3% shares. You must convert that into 100 million! "
