YM778.TV Chapter 80 - 79 Business War Begins_l
When Zade Radcliffe sat on that small stool, everyone’s heart skipped a beat.
As the Radcliffe Family head, the old man had never experienced such humiliation in decades!
But they also understood that Zade Radcliffe had the winning cards in his hand today!
Because the Radcliffe Group’s liquid assets had already been drained, facing the iron fist of the Golden Eagle Group, their meager financial strength simply couldn’t withstand the fatal blow!
“Since everyone is here, let’s talk about why we’ve urgently convened this board meeting,”
As soon as Zade Radcliffe sat down, Julius Reed immediately called for a secretary to bring over an executive chair and sat beside Quella Radcliffe with his legs crossed.
This stark contrast made the Radcliffe family patriarch’s face change colors once again!
The Radcliffe clan members present couldn’t help but sweat for Julius Reed; this was too harsh, wasn’t it? They could even imagine how the patriarch would retaliate!
“Julius Reed, who do you think you are! It’s not your turn to speak here!”
Otis Radcliffe finally couldn’t hold back the anger he was harboring inside.
Seeing victory right before his eyes, he no longer needed to remain patient.
“Otis! Julius Reed is my secretary. Watch your tone when you speak! Don’t forget that I am the chairman now!”
Quella Radcliffe slammed the desk, startling everyone.
In their memory, Quella had always been gentle, and it was rare to see her act so assertively.
“Fine! Fine! Fine!”
Otis nodded and said with a forced smile, “I really want to see how long you can remain as the chairman.”
He looked down at his watch and then turned to his secretary, “Now, report the stock situation to our chairman.”
According to his guess, with so much time passed, the Radcliffe Group’s stock price must have plummeted!
And according to the agreement, once the stock fell by more than 3%, Quella would have to roll out of the company!
“The stock price has already dropped by 2.8%, and there’s a continuing downward trend.”
The secretary quickly operated the computer, eyes glued to the screen without moving.
“Haha, Quella, are you scared?”
Hearing this news, Otis felt somewhat disappointed. He had expected the stock to plummet, but it had only fallen by this much. No matter, the Golden Eagle Group had just started.
He believed that in a minute or two, the position of chairman would change hands.
“Even if I sit here for a minute, I am still the chairman!”
Quella replied with a firm tone.
But at that moment, she started to feel panic inside, and she couldn’t help trembling.
Although the news of Titan Group’s renewed investment was good, it was still far from enough compared to the bombshell dropped by the Golden Eagle Group.
A small change of 3% could easily be achieved with just a little effort from the Potter family.
She was also very aware that without the ten billion from the Titan Group, the Radcliffe Group’s stock prices would have probably already plummeted.
Her departure was just a matter of time.
Sensing her nervousness, Julius Reed quietly took Quella Radcliffe’s hand.
“Quella, although I really don’t want to see you roll out from here, unfortunately, it has happened.”
Zade stood up slowly, once again assuming the authority of a chairman, and said softly to the secretary, “Tell her who is the chairman now!”
According to the agreement, as soon as the stock fell by 3%, Quella would immediately have to leave the chairman’s position, and Zade would return to the helm!
The events of the past few days had left the Radcliffe family’s true master unable to swallow his indignation, so at Otis’s instigation, he summoned all clan members to witness Quella’s downfall.
As the founder of the Radcliffe Group, he knew the strength of the group all too well. After withdrawing three billion in liquid assets in the morning, the entire group had become stagnant water.
If the Golden Eagle Group made a move, not to mention 3%, even 30% would just be a day’s work.
It was a case of using an egg to hit a rock, a mantis trying to stop a chariot— this was the most accurate description of the current situation.
However, compared with the twenty billion contract weighing on him, Zade would rather the group collapse!
“The stock price…”
The moment the secretary saw the stock price, her complexion changed drastically.
“Hmm? What’s wrong with you? Tell her how much it has dropped!”
Zade Radcliffe, upon seeing the secretary’s expression, felt somewhat dissatisfied. Wasn’t the drop expected? He was now eager to witness the despair on Quella Radcliffe and Julius Reed’s faces.
“Haha! Did it drop so harshly that even you got startled?”
Leaning back in his wheelchair, Otis Radcliffe made no effort to conceal his
Schadenfreude. He had long wanted to pay back double what he suffered today!
“President Radcliffe, the stock price…”
The secretary took a deep breath, her hands clutching the laptop trembling slightly.
“No worries, this CEO will personally escort our Chairman Quella Radcliffe out of her position and welcome back the real Chairman, Mr. Zade Radcliffe!”
Rotating his wheelchair slightly, Otis Radcliffe gave Quella Radcliffe a taunting smile.
“Sister, I’m so sorry.”
He snatched the laptop from the secretary’s hands, unable to hide the thrill within him any longer.
“Now, I officially announce…”
But when Otis Radcliffe’s eyes landed on the screen, he let out a cry of shock that matched the secretary’s!
“How is this possible!”
His face turned wildly, his hand holding the laptop trembling slightly as well.
“What’s going on!”
“Could it be that the stock price plummeted, and we hit the limit down?”
“The family head pulled all the liquid funds, now facing Golden Eagle Group’s assault, anything could happen!”
The Radcliffe Clan present understood the actions of their grandfather and grandson and subconsciously assumed that the stock price had fallen to an unimaginably low level.
But it was understandable: after bullying the Potter Family people that way, if Stanislaus Potter wasn’t harsh in his retaliation, where would he put his face in Five-river Province?
How would he continue to mix in the business circles afterward?
“Otis, don’t act like you’ve never seen the world.”
Zade Radcliffe walked over with a smile, adopting the stance of a victor, and said to Quella Radcliffe, “I know what you’re thinking. For Titan Group to dare to pour money into Radcliffe Group at this time, I really admire Ovidiu Cook’s courage.”
He paused before continuing, “But you should know, Stanislaus Potter’s move is nothing! His friends in Five-river Province have started to enter the scene one after another! For Ovidiu Cook to protect you, you’d need at least three Titan Groups! You’re up against half of Five-river Province!”
As soon as he uttered these words, everyone’s hearts sank.
This was too ruthless!
Everyone knew that Stanislaus Potter had massive influence, but they hadn’t expected him to have such tremendous power!
Quella Radcliffe felt fear in her heart as well, her grip on Julius Reed’s hand tightening even more upon hearing Zade Radcliffe’s words.
Indeed, who could stand against half of Five-river Province? Golden Eagle Group had vast resources and a broad range of partners.
Now that Stanislaus Potter wanted to make a strong comeback, these people wouldn’t mind gilding the lily.
“Now, please take your husband and roll out of here!”
Zade Radcliffe patted the chair Quella Radcliffe was sitting on and asked with a sneer, “Is it still comfortable? But unfortunately, it doesn’t belong to you!”
“Wait a moment!”
Julius Reed interrupted him, asking leisurely, “Is the family head so confident?” “Heh? Still harboring fantasies? Otis, tell her how much the stock has fallen!”
Seeing Julius Reed’s defiant expression, Zade Radcliffe could hardly wait to slap his face!
“Grandfather… the stock price has risen by 5%…”
Otis Radcliffe’s face turned pale, his brows knotting tightly..
