Before he left, Xiao Yunhai said, "Mr. Stephens, if you want to sell your shares, please come to me as soon as possible. My offer remains the same. After the financing, I'm sorry, but I don't want your shares at all. "
Stephens' eyes flashed coldly. "I'll think about it."
Sylvia and Grote were very polite. They exchanged some pleasantries with Xiao Yunhai before leaving.
Xiao Yunhai went back to his office and saw Kree Christie had just sent away the shareholders. He smiled. "Today's harvest is not bad. Other than the 11% on the market, we now own 74% of the shares. "
Kree Christie said, "Yes. Mr. Xiao, don't you think your offer is too cheap? "
Xiao Yunhai said confidently, "You can't catch the wolf without risking the child. Pekar Oil's market value will reach more than a trillion USD in the future. I don't care about this small amount of money. "
Kree Christie smiled. "Mr. Xiao, I admire your confidence the most."
Kree Christie said as he organized the documents in his hands. Suddenly, a contract fell to the ground. Kree Christie quickly bent down to pick it up.
He inadvertently saw that there was actually a tiny thing under Xiao Yunhai's table. His expression couldn't help but change greatly. He raised his head, took out a piece of paper, and wrote on it: "There's a listening device here."
When Xiao Yunhai saw the contents of the paper, he was shocked and walked over to take a look. It was indeed a small listening device.
Xiao Yunhai's face darkened. He didn't have to guess. It must be Stephens' doing.
It was no wonder that Bessie only sent his secretary to the meeting today. It turned out that Stephens had already overheard his words.
At the same time, Xiao Yunhai was sure that something was wrong with Pekar Oil.
Kree Christie wrote, "Should we take it down?"
Xiao Yunhai shook his head. He thought for a while and wrote on the paper, "Let's beat them at their own game. Let's get their shares first."
Kree Christie was also a smart woman. She nodded and said, "Mr. Xiao, what do you plan to do with Mr. Bessey's 12% shares?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "I want to talk to him. It would be best if I could buy it."
"What if he doesn't sell?"
"He will definitely sell it. After my funds were diluted, he had at most 5% of the shares left. This was meaningless to the CEO of the largest private energy company. If it were you, would you sell it? "
"Unless there's something that attracts me, I'll definitely sell it."
"That's what I've always been puzzled about. His sudden attack really puzzled me. And today, Stephens' behavior was also very strange. We offered him such good conditions, but he didn't sell his shares. He even said that he believed that I would give him more benefits in the future. Haha, he's treating me like a three-year-old kid. I feel like they're hiding something important from me, but I can't figure it out. It's so frustrating. "
"Mr. Xiao, you're just suspecting. Maybe it's not the truth."
"That's why I want to test Mr. Bessey."
"I understand. If Mr. Bessey doesn't care about the shares, it means the company is fine. If he doesn't sell, then … "
"Then I'll have someone investigate the company thoroughly. I won't give up until I find out the reason."
Just then, the phone on the table suddenly rang.
Xiao Yunhai picked up the phone and asked, "What's up?"
It was the receptionist at the front desk. She said, "Mr. Xiao, we have a problem. Thousands of employees came to ask for their salaries again."
Xiao Yunhai paused and said, "Again? Have they come to protest before? "
"Yes, Mr. Xiao. They had been here last week. This time, they even sued the company to the labor union. "
"Okay, got it. I'll be right there."
Xiao Yunhai put down the phone and said to Kree, "The employees are here to protest. Let's go and have a look. I want to talk to them. "
Pekar Oil was on the verge of collapse. The employees couldn't get paid, so they weren't in the mood to work. If Xiao Yunhai wanted to rebuild the company, the most important thing was to persuade them.
He was going to call them for a meeting. Now, they came at the right time.
When Xiao Yunhai went downstairs, he saw a crowd of people yelling in the name of paying him back his salary.
The leaders were three middle-aged men in their forties, and there were a few people from the labor union standing next to them.
This was a big event, so there were a lot of reporters. They were all there with cameras.
Seeing Xiao Yunhai, the richest man in the world, come out, the flashes lit up and the shouts of the crowd became even more deafening.
At this time, the various department heads upstairs also came down one after another and stood behind Xiao Yunhai. A customer service lady at the front desk gave Xiao Yunhai a microphone.
Xiao Yunhai raised both of his hands up high and slightly pressed them down. A powerful aura suddenly erupted, and the clamor instantly stopped.
Xiao Yunhai nodded in satisfaction and said, "Everyone seems to know that today is my first day as the CEO of Peka Oil and Natural Gas Company. I'm really flattered that you're welcoming me in such a special way."
"Haha."
"Hahaha."
With just a single sentence, the originally tense atmosphere immediately eased up quite a bit.
Xiao Yunhai said, "I've only been here for a few hours, so I don't know a lot of things. Can you choose a representative to tell me what you want? I'll take care of it and give you a satisfactory answer. "
A middle-aged man walked out from the Labour Relations Association. He walked up to Xiao Yunhai and shook hands with him. "Mister Xiao, I am the chairman of the Labour Relations Association, Locke Benedict. We received a complaint from your company that you haven't paid them their salaries for three months. Is that true? "
Xiao Yunhai nodded. "As far as I know, it should be true. Young lady, prepare a microphone for Mr. Benedict, so that no one can hear us. "
Soon, Locke Benedict took the microphone and said with a smile, "Thank you. Mr. Xiao, we all know that you've just become the CEO of Pekar Oil. We shouldn't be here today, but your employees are about to sleep on the streets, so we had to come. Your company owes them three months of salary. Mr. Xiao, how are you going to deal with this in front of everyone? We're here because of what you said. "
Xiao Yunhai chuckled. "It's not just one sentence. I have a lot to say."
When Locke and Benedict heard this, they couldn't help but laugh and said, "Mister Xiao is really humorous. Please speak."
Xiao Yunhai nodded and looked at the thousands of employees in front of him. "I'll be honest with you. Even if you didn't come today, I would have called everyone here for a meeting. Pekar Oil has been facing a lot of problems in recent years. We don't have enough funds, our oil reserves are getting lower and lower, and our market value has dropped by more than five times. There are many reasons for this. But no matter what, it shouldn't be your fault. "
"I'm sure you've seen it on the news. All the employees in my company have the highest salary in the industry. From today onwards, you're my employees. Do you think I'll treat you badly? "
Locke Benedict said, "Mr. Xiao, are you saying that you'll pay us three months' salary?"
Xiao Yunhai shook his head. "No."
"F * ck, then what's the point?"
"That's right. My wife and children don't have enough to eat. We need money. "
"They say that Kungfu Xiao is the most generous boss in America. Now it seems that he's no different from the previous boss."
"That's right. We need money."
"Pay us back."
