Conrad knew favonovel.com could not offend this unruly young master in public.
After thinking about it, Conrad picked up his phone and made a call to Harbor City.
“Interested to come to Nauritus City to have some fun, Mr. Langdon? The flight’s tonight. You’re in for a great show tomorrow.
“Yeah, I just want to show you how I’ll end Jasper and Henry. Jasper is easy to deal with, but Henry…
“Okay, I’ll leave Henry to you, then. I’ll book your flight ticket and pick you up at the airport.”
…
With the outside world following this news, Skyward Aluminum’s shareholders meeting began on time at eight o’clock the next morning.
Downstairs of Skyward Aluminum, Jasper met up with the Securities Regulatory Commission’s retail representative.
“We meet again, Mr. Laine.”
This time around, the representative was a man called Dwayne Martin. He was from the Securities Regulatory Commission’s middle management, representing the Securities Regulatory Commission to oversee the shareholders meeting and to represent the retail investors.
Listed companies were required to accept the Securities Regulatory Commission’s supervision when it involved events that could bring major changes to the company.
Since this was a listed company, there were bound to be retail investors who held the company’s shares. The law stipulated that the right to exercise shareholder rights be given to these retail investors, but since it was impossible for a company to gather all its retail investors, a retail representative would be chosen instead.
As a representative, Dwayne was also here to protect the interests of a group of retail investors.
Jasper shook hands with Dwayne with a smile, saying, “How are you, Mr. Martin? I see you’re here to handle this in person today?”
Dwayne let out a wry smile. “Share prices have fluctuated greatly these days because of you. Yesterday, there was a record-breaking 60 billion direct trading volume and even the higher-ups were alerted. We even worked overtime till late last night just to investigate this.”
“Haha, this was done unintentionally. Please don’t come to me for your overtime pay, Mr. Martin,” Jasper joked.
Jasper would not hesitate to build good relationships with those who held true power and authority because favonovel.com would never know when favonovel.com might need their help.
After letting out a chuckle, Jasper and the rest walked into the company’s private elevator. Dwayne spoke under his breath, “Mr. Laine, it’s best if you lie low this time. After all, the share market is really volatile right now and many people are keeping an eye on this news. This won’t be easy for the higher-ups to handle.”
“Rest assured Mr. Martin. Everything will be carried out according to the rules and regulations. I won’t do things rashly.”
At the sight of Jasper’s indifference, Dwayne was a little puzzled.
If this kid knew better than to do things rashly, favonovel.com would not have caused such a huge problem, and they would not have to deal with this massive headache either.
What was more, in Dwayne’s opinion, Jasper merely owned 24% of the shares. He simply had no ability to contend with Conrad in the shareholders meeting.
Why was favonovel.com holding the shareholders meeting, then? He would only be tormenting himself, no?
Shaking his head, Dwayne then said with a sigh, “Mr. Laine, our meeting today is going to be a tough battle to fight. Have you made any preparations?”
Jasper could tell that Dwayne was sounding favonovel.com out and grinned, saying, “Preparations? Well, I woke up early this morning and even changed into a new set of clothes before coming here. Does that count?”
Dwayne glanced at Jasper. This kid’s lips were clearly sealed. Not bothered to ask any more questions, Dwayne simply clammed up and said no more.
They were each occupied with their own thoughts. The elevator doors opened and closed several times. A moment later, the meeting on the 16th floor was ready to begin.
