Chapter 41 Reciprocity
“Buy it???”
“Take over!!!”
One stone aroused thousands of waves! Lilith Carter was in the middle of her sentence when she surprised everyone, especially the Moore Group shareholders and executives at the door. They rushed to the hospital because they were worried Dylan and Isaac would take over the Moore Group.
Now suddenly, there was another guy talking about buying the Moore Group???
How could they live with that?
However, the Campbell family of the Crane Town was so intimidating that they were afraid to say it out.
“Is this the Campbell family’s way of delisting the Moore Group in Hilshire?”
Carter Moore sighed, his head spinning. He opened the folder, scanned it for a few moments, then looked up at Lilith Carter and said in surprise, “Fifty million?”
“The Moore Group is valued at over 100 million. Seventy-two percent of the shares are worth at least $80 million. You want to buy it at such a low price, are you trying to force me to accept that?”
Hearing the price, Dylan and Isaac looked at each other, teeth clenched and resentful.
Carter Moore made it clear this afternoon that he planned to step down and hand over control of the Moore Group to them. They were gonna own the Moore Group.
At this time, the Campbell Family wanted to acquire the Moore Group at a low price. It was like ripping out their flesh and drinking their blood!
“Of course not.”
Lilith Carter shook her head and smiled, “Over100 million, that’s just your estimate, and 80 million, that’s just your expectation. As far as we’re concerned, those shares you own are worth 50 million, no more.”
“In business, the Campbell family always pays attention to reciprocity and win-win situation. If you are not satisfied with the price, you can choose to reject us.”
Reject them?
Carter Moore’s mouth twitched sharply, thinking, “The Campbell family was aggressive and poised to win. I’d like to say no, but I do not dare.
After a moment’s hesitation, Carter Moore tried to ask, “What happens if I say no?”
“Well…”
Lilith Carter laughed, “At your own peril.”
“…”
Carter Moore was very angry. In his decades in business, this was the first time he’d been cornered.
From the moment she walked through the door, Lilith Carter had a gentle smile on her face. The words that came out of her mouth, however, were so commanding and forceful that there was no room for Carter Moore to negotiate.
The acquisition contract had been drawn up in advance and there was absolutely no possibility of change. He could only either say yes and sign it or refuse at his own risk!
“Fuck you…”
Isaac, who had been silent, suddenly jumped to his feet and glared at Lilith Carter, ready to lash out. Being bullied was fucking depressing!
Carter Moore could take it, Dylan could take it, and Isaac wanted to take it, too, but he was so young, and he couldn’t help it!
“I refuse.”
Almost at the same time Isaac stood up, a man’s voice interrupted him from the hospital room door.
Then the man came into the room.
“Carter Moore is not the sole owner of the Moore Group, and even if you want to buy his shares, you must go through the board of directors. Isn’t it a little overbearing to show up at the hospital with the acquisition contract without even noticing us?”
This man couldn’t take it anymore, like Isaac.
As one of the shareholders of the Moore Group, he had a great say in the future development of the Moore Group. Although he was afraid of the Campbell family in his heart, he certainly stood up for what he should fight for in front of interests.
“Yeah, the Campbell family went too far!”
“Unilateral pricing, compulsory acquisition. This isn’t business, it’s robbery!”
“Mr. Moore, you can’t sign a contract like that!”
With the first speaker, the otherwise quiet shareholders, and executives outside also became agitated. They crowded into the ward together and talked in a menacing manner.
The three of them breathed a quiet sigh of relief.
They didn’t dare stand up to the Campbell family. They were happy to have someone stand up for them.
Lilith Carter remained calm and turned to look at the head of security beside her.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
The next moment, the head of security moved.
Bam!
He was very fast. He took a few steps up to the first man and, without hesitation, lifted his foot and kicked him directly in the chest. There was a dull thud and a shrill scream, and before the man could react, he was flying backward.
He fell into the crowd and felled five or six people.
“It’s…”
The shareholders and executives who had just mustered their courage and braved their way into the room were terrified, and the shouting stopped. Their eyes widened. Their tongues gaped in disbelief. They grunted and became silent again.
Damn it! It was so cruel of them to hit others like that!
When the man who had been kicked fell to the ground, he spewed out a cloud of blood. He tilted his head to one side, closed his eyes and passed out. And he fainted in such a strange way that, at first sight, he really looked like a crab.
The first speaker was now lying there like a crab.
You could see the power of the security captain’s foot!
“There you go.”
Lilith Carter smiled as she looked down at the man lying motionless on the ground and said, “We can talk. Why do you yell so loud? Like I said, when we do business, it’s about reciprocity.
“Now, any objections?”
With that, she looked up at the shareholders and executives.
