Link didn't take Andrews' threat to heart. He smiled and said, "As long as the money is still in the company's account, it's okay to freeze it." Wait until we find the gold mine and then apply for the right to use it. ”

Andrews didn't expect him to be soft and hard. He and the other shareholders looked at each other, and had to lower their posture and say, "Mr. Hans." I know what we're doing will cost you. But in a way, we were deceived because we believed in you. And whether it's moral or legal, we have a right to that money. I don't think we're asking too much. I think you also agree that money is money when it is used. If we have to fall out. Although you have no loss for the time being, that money is always half of ours, and you have 600 million dollars less to use. ”

Link looked at him with a smirk, listened to him, and glanced at the other shareholders. He smiled and said, "So, you have been deceived, and it is my fault?

Another shareholder, named Thompson, said, "Mr. Hans, we have no one to blame. Because we own a stake in the gold mining company, we have a share of the $1.2 billion in the gold mining company's account. I don't think you will deny this. So we're just asserting our legal rights. Isn't it?"

"The law will not deny me the right to manage the company. So I have the right to dispose of the funds. Of course, I won't let the shareholders suffer!"

"I know, Mr. Hans, you feel like keeping money in your bank. Then the money will still be your money. But we can't afford to lose. Maybe we can't stop you, but we'll do things that we're not happy with each other, like talking about today's events. ”

Other shareholders are certainly reluctant to keep their money in the bank for interest. And they thought that Link didn't want the company to be deregistered, because he wanted to run the money through the Ozette Bank. As long as the money is available, it doesn't matter who the owner is. The proceeds generated by the bank with that money were Link's. And they can only take the interest that can't even offset inflation.

Although they can't get all their money back, it won't hurt that much if the company deregisters it, and each of them can get back half of the money they were cheated of. After getting that money, they can use it to invest and make money for themselves. Instead of being taken by Link's bank to make money for Link. That, of course, is considered unfair to them.

Speaking of which, Link didn't want to drag on with them anymore. He put away the insincere smile on his face and said to all shareholders seriously: "I'm sorry, everyone. If you want to deregister your shares. I can buy all of your shares for $300 million. ”

"Our stake is worth $1.2 billion!" the female shareholder cried. "300 million? ”

Link glanced at her and said to himself, "Maybe you think it's a loss." But I'm not the one who makes you suffer. You don't believe there's gold there, I can't help it. I don't want to get tangled with you anymore about equity. If you don't want those shares, sell them to me for three hundred million, and not a penny will increase. Of course, you can also find other buyers. If you don't want to sell, just wait for the results of exploration. Maybe we'll have some luck. ”

Link gave a multiple-choice question.

As long as he sent people to explore, they had no reason to apply to the court to freeze the company's funds. Because the company is operating. Link's exploration can last a long time, and that money will always be in his bank.

But if Link's purchase price were accepted, their loss would have reached 75%. That's a huge loss. Link will only lose 25%. It makes them feel unfair.

But Link didn't have to be fair with them. They banded together to want to deregister the company. Don't say that they are just a group of strangers, even if they are acquaintances, they can't be of the same mind, why should he follow them?

He still believed that the gold mine probably existed. Since they didn't believe it, he bought 1.2 billion shares with 300 million at that time.

He looked up at his watch and said, "You can have ten minutes to think about it." If all agree, I'll have my asset manager hand you over. I will only accept the sale of shares at the same time. ”

These shareholders didn't know each other before. This time, it was only because there was a common "enemy" this time that they needed to deal with Link, who owned 50% of the gold mining company, that they temporarily united. It's a bit difficult to get them to be on the same page at this time.

However, Andrews thinks it's better to get 25% back than to come at nothing.

As for the gold mine that Link said was being explored, he only thought that it was either Link's procrastination or his dream.

The longer the money is in Link's pocket, the greater their actual loss. Now Link's attitude is tough. And they also understand that Link's loss of $1.2 billion is not a big deal at all. But for them, tens of millions of dollars is a lot. It might even prevent them from going bankrupt.

They are all billionaires though. But none of them are particularly rich. Some of this investment was borrowed from other places. Now that the gold mines do not exist, their creditors are of course worried about the recovery of this debt.

So they also have pressure on their debts.

Being able to get back tens of millions of dollars has a lot of benefits for reducing their financial pressure.

Andrews offered them a few shareholders to talk.

Link left the conference room to them. About ten minutes later, he walked into the conference room again. Although the reluctance of a few shares was on their faces, they still chose to sell their shares to Link.

Link called Martha in front of them. Let her prepare the contract right away. And let these shareholders go to Las Vegas and sign a contract with Martha. And help to complete the procedures for the change of equity. After the change is completed, they will be able to share the money.

$300 million is a temporary loss for Link. But the results were not good, and he reclaimed 47% of the gold mining company for $300 million.

The last remaining 3% is in the hands of Claude Ross.

Claude Ross seems to have been following this all along. As soon as the change of ownership of the other shareholders was completed, his lawyer contacted Martha and offered to sell the 3% stake for $5 million.

Link didn't agree: "Tell him, give him a dollar at most!

Now the gold mining company is in his hands, and he has a 97% stake. He has absolute power over how to run it. He can deliberately "lose" the funds of the gold mining company to other companies under his name, and even owe huge debts. At that time, he will bankrupt the company, and the debt will fall to the shareholders in proportion to the shares. And Link's debt to his company can be completely unpaid without any loss. Claude Ross, on the other hand, could be in trouble.

As long as Link is prosecuted, Claude Ross will not be able to escape the debt, and there is no such thing as a bad guy in the United States. Once the court makes a judgment, it will directly send someone to be ready to seize the assets of the person subject to enforcement at any time.

Claude Ross seems to be worried about this, and his 3% stake is unlikely to be taken over. In the end, he sold it to Link for a dollar, like throwing away a hot potato.

At this point, Link can be regarded as temporarily solving a trouble.

When he had all the rights to the gold mining company, he called Martha: "You can be serious about the exploration over there." ”

Martha couldn't understand why Link was obviously a hoax or if he had to spend money on exploration in that "gold mine". You know, it's close to the Arctic Circle, and in another month, it may not be possible to continue working there. The cost of exploring in such a place is also much higher than in other places.

But she should have been reminded, she had already been reminded. Since Link was not reconciled, she could only obey the order: "I will inform them to explore other areas immediately." "Previously, the exploration team had only reported areas where Claude Ross had veins. So far, however, the exploration team has not found any veins.

"I heard that it was an abandoned gold mine before, and there should have been a record of exploration before. What is the previous exploration depth record?"

"Two hundred meters from the current surface. ”

"Let them explore to a depth of 500 meters. ”

Martha muttered, "Okay. But it soon became impossible to work. Maybe it won't be until next spring. ”

"It doesn't matter when you can work. Just finish exploring there. ”

He wasn't entirely sure he could really find what he was looking for there, spending a little money, and wasting it as a verification.

Verify that the vice god of decay will always "shelter" him. The final conclusions will be important for his future path.
