Chapter 196: Malik's Conspiracy
"Lawyer Hogarth, your task today is very simple, is to help me see if there are any loopholes in this share acquisition agreement, whether it is unfavorable to me, the early negotiation with Darren Krauss, CEO of Pym Technology, has been completed by Congressman Malik, and we are going to sign the agreement today!"
Sitting in the extended Lincoln maglev given by Ford, Allen was explaining to Jerry Hogarth, the chief lawyer of the company's partner law firm, next to him.
Some time ago, Alan was invited by Congressman Malik to visit the new product exhibition of Pym Technology, where Alan also met the Maximov siblings who stole the "yellow shirts".
What happened at the time was a bit weird, and Mitchell Carson, the former defense minister of S.H.I.E.L.D., even died in the riot caused by the mutant siblings, but in Allen's opinion, Carson was obviously the same as the twins.
Later, Councillor Malik, who visited the new product exhibition together, was very optimistic about the new invention of Pym Technology, and even invited Alan to participate in the financing or buy the shares of Pym Technology, but Alan didn't think much about it at the time, because he was also very optimistic about this technology that created Ant-Man, so he casually agreed.
Unexpectedly, not long after, Congressman Malik actually called, saying that he had reached an agreement with Darren Krauss, CEO of Pym Technology, and he had agreed to transfer his shares.
Although Allen's reason made him very unable to believe that the other party would make such a decision, but the matter has come to this point, these shares should not be in vain, so he brought his lawyer to sign the share transfer contract today.
"Be careful!"
At this moment, the originally very smooth maglev extended Lincoln came to the brakes suddenly, because a maglev car suddenly flew in front of him and approached quickly, trying to block Lincoln's way.
"Who, do you want to die?" Alan cursed unhappily, and immediately wanted to open the car door and rush out to take revenge, if he hadn't brought Lawyer Hogarth with him today, and he had to have the demeanor of a big capitalist, he wouldn't have come in a long Lincoln.
"Alan, look, the guy in the other car's car is gesturing to you, oh my gosh, that guy seems to be Hank Pym, the founder of Pym Technology, and he seems to want us to lower the car!" Hogarth said to Alan in surprise.
"Interesting!"
Alan looked at the two people in the car opposite and was a little surprised, there was not only Hank Pym in the hovercar, but his daughter Hope, who was the chief operating officer of Pym Technology, was also in the car.
He came to buy Darren's shares today, but he didn't expect to meet Hank Pym and his daughter on the way, are they here to stop him from buying the company's shares?
It's okay to see what they have to say!
The two maglev cars stopped on the grass not far away, Hank Pym and Hope got out of the car in a hurry, while Alan and Hogarth were unhurried and walked off the extended Lincoln.
"Isn't this Dr. Pym, I don't know what you have to do to intercept my maglev car on the road!" There was a hint of dissatisfaction and complaint in Allen's tone.
didn't care about Allen's tone, Dr. Pym, whose hair was already gray, looked at him seriously and said, "What do you want to do when you come to Pymtech today?" ”
Alan was stunned, Hank Pym was actually questioning him, he was actually questioned, Alan has never been angry like this, he was originally upset when he was stopped halfway, and now the other party is still in this tone, of course Alan will not give him a good face.
"You already know that I'm here for Pym Technology, so what am I doing here, don't you know?" Allen's disdainful tone was vividly reflected in his slanted eyes.
"Sure enough!" Dr. Pym's eyes froze instantly, and he immediately said angrily to Allen: "Alan Coulson, let me ask you, what is the deep hatred between me and you, and it is worth you to treat me like this, and you actually want to join Gideon Malik to forcibly acquire Pym Technology!" ”
"Huh?" Hearing Hank Pym's words, Alan was stunned: "Forced acquisition, what are you talking about, aren't these shares voluntarily sold by Darren Krauss, how can it be a forced acquisition!" ”
But looking at Hank Pym and his daughter Hope on the other side, all looking at him with angry faces, Alan always felt that something was wrong!
Hearing Allen's words, the originally angry father and daughter were also stunned for a moment, the two glanced at each other, wearing a professional suit, and Hope, who had bright red lips, couldn't help but say: "Don't pretend, Gideon Malik's old fox obviously told us that you would join forces with him to forcibly buy our company, how can you ...... Wait, what did Malik say to you! ”
Hope seems to have figured out what was wrong!
"Councillor Malik told me that Darren voluntarily sold his shares to the two of us, and I came to sign the contract today, who knew that you stopped me on the way, do you know a different story than me?"
Alan was also shocked at this time, as smart as him, he had already sensed something wrong from the other party's few words, and now his interest was also suspended, it seems that the acquisition of the company's equity is not as simple as it seems on the surface!
"Well, you don't seem to be as smart as you seem, but you're also being kept in the dark by Gideon Malik's old fox!
When Malik talked to us, he kept pressuring us in the name of your union, saying that if we didn't sell our shares, we would join forces with you to short Pym Technology.
When the time comes, under your strong capital strength, the enterprise is yours, and we will lose all our money! ”
Speaking of which, Hope is gritting her teeth, it seems that she has been bullied by Malik a lot.
"Oh, that's it!" Alan said thoughtfully, "It seems that Councillor Malik really wants to buy your Pym Technology!" ”
"But first of all, I have no intention of forcibly buying Pym Technology, and if this business is negotiated, it will be very good and the icing on the cake for me.
If it can't be negotiated, it will have no impact on me, you know the strength of the Coulson Group, and our scientific and technological strength is not comparable to yours! ”
Although Allen's words were more emotional, Hank Pym and Hope still had to nod and admit Allen's words.
"Again, I want to say that this takeover has been a unilateral effort by Councillor Malik, and his last feedback to me is that Darren is willing to sell his shares, but I just listened to you, and it seems that even you want to sell your shares?" Alan asked the father and daughter seriously.
Hearing Allen's words, the father and daughter looked at each other in shock, as if the object of their long-standing concern and anger had been mistaken.
In this case, Hope could only nod hurriedly and said, "Yes, Gideon Malik also threatened us, and we had to agree to sell our shares at a price one percent higher than the market price, otherwise we will have nothing!" ”
"Huh!"
Hearing this, Alan was completely interested, it turned out that Councillor Malik had so many operations behind his back, what did this guy want to do, why did he oppress Darren and Hank Pym in his own name to forcibly acquire Pym Technology.
Could it be that this company is so important, and Malik actually hid from him that Hank Pym was also going to sell his shares!
