Chapter 524: 464 Rescue the Market (Request for monthly tickets, thanks for the reward!)

"What on earth is going on? Why is this happening?"

K.E Group.

Emergency shareholder meeting.

Compared to the light-hearted atmosphere of a few days ago, the mood in the meeting room was now unusually heavy, as if dark clouds were bearing down, suffocating everyone.

"Takagi Gentarou, have you found out who is behind this?"

A shareholder, nearly accusing in tone, confronted Takagi Gentarou.

As a shareholder, in other words, an investor in the company, the plunge in stock prices meant a direct hit to their own interests. How could they not be furious?

Moreover,

As an independent shareholder, he didn’t really fear Takagi Gentarou, especially since this shareholder was also a friend of Takagi Gentarou’s father, the founder of K.E. In his eyes, Takagi Gentarou was nothing more than a junior.

Not just this shareholder, but everyone in the meeting room was staring at Takagi Gentarou at this moment.

For any enterprise, the founder holds a high status, but there are countless examples where founders have been unceremoniously ousted from their own companies.

With power comes responsibility.

With such a serious issue at hand, Takagi Gentarou was, without a doubt, the one primarily responsible.

The blunt questioning from the shareholder left Takagi Gentarou, who was already in a foul mood, even more irritable.

He disliked nothing more than those who take advantage of their seniority.

But at this moment, he was well aware that he could not afford to offend these shareholders.

Otherwise, if these shareholders also started selling their shares, it would be a disaster for K.E.

There’s an old saying in Shenzhou.

To repel outsiders, you must first ensure internal stability.

The top priority was to stabilize these shareholders.

"We have investigated the issue. It was a group of people from Shenzhou."

"People from Shenzhou?"

The meeting room started buzzing with whispers.

"I’ve said it before, apologizing was the best option. All of this could have been avoided."

Joe Bankton sneered with mockery.

"It’s pointless to talk about that now, we must stabilize the stock price!"

A shareholder declared emphatically.

"Right, it can’t fall any further."

"We need to think of a solution fast."

"What could possibly be done now? The only way is to take out all the money to rescue the market and give the investors confidence."

Joe Bankton pointed out a path that seemingly no one wanted to take, yet there seemed to be no other option.

"How much money is left in the company account?"

Someone immediately asked Takagi Gentarou.

Takagi Gentarou’s face was somber, "Currently, the amount we can freely access is around two billion euros."

"Two billion euros? How is it so little?"

Murmurs of discussion arose.

Takagi Gentarou leaned on the table.

"We can’t touch the rest of the money. Otherwise, it will surely impact production, and once there is trouble with the store business, the situation will truly become uncontrollable."

"It’s already been affected, there’s a lot of negative news about us on Starry Sky."

Joe Bankton added fuel to the fire.

"Despicable Orientals!"

A shareholder cursed.

"Then take out the money quickly, we can’t let the stock price continue to fall."

For the shareholders, the specific operations of the company weren’t of much concern to them. What really mattered to their vested interests was the stock price.

After all, the company’s money, sitting there, is not something they could use, but the value of the stocks is a different story.

K.E’s stock price had fallen to 150 euros, nearly a third down from its peak!

This meant that those present had almost all suffered losses of hundreds of millions of euros!

Looking at the chaotic scene—everyone urging him to spend money to rescue the market—Takagi Gentarou inwardly cursed endlessly.

A bunch of selfish parasites!

No one genuinely cared about the company; they only cared about their own interests!

But as frustrated as he was, he did not dare to offend these people at the moment.

And besides spending money to rescue the market, it seemed there really was no better solution.

Soon.

The shareholders’ meeting had passed the "market rescue" resolution.

Substantial funds from K.E Group’s accounts entered the stock market to repurchase the dumped shares.

The effect was immediate.

The continuously falling stock price temporarily stabilized.

This allowed Takagi Gentarou to breathe a sigh of relief.

At the same time, harboring resentment in his heart, he issued a prohibition through the internal email system.

The content was an order for employees of K.E Group worldwide to stop using the StarSky APP.

Such a command was indeed quirky, with a hint of impotent fury, but there was no other way.

It seemed he could not find any other sanctions.

Luxembourg Park.

Jiang Chen squatted down, feeding pigeons in the square.

A few pigeons leisurely perched on his shoulders.

Wearing a printed skirt, a white camisole, and a simple overcoat, dressed in a very French style, Pei Yunxi stood not far away, watching this aesthetic and serene scene, her heart a mix of emotions.

"Whoosh..."

Jiang Chen raised his hand, scattering the feed.

Countless pigeons took flight.

"You’re still in the mood to feed pigeons here."

Jiang Chen dusted off his hands, slowly rising while steadying his knees, his demeanor utterly relaxed and casual.

"I heard that Liang Chaowei flies abroad every week, doing nothing but feeding pigeons in the square. Why do you think he does that?"

Pei Yunxi was silent.

Jiang Chen dusted off his hands and turned around.

"I just tried it and seemed to understand something. Why don’t you give it a shot?"

"The stock price of K.E has already stopped falling."

Pei Yunxi watched him and said.

"I know."

Jiang Chen smiled nonchalantly.

Pei Yunxi just watched him.

Jiang Chen shrugged.

"It’s quite normal. If such a large enterprise could be easily defeated, that would really be a joke. The current halt in the stock price is probably because K.E has intervened in the market with funds."

"What about you? What’s your next move? You’re not planning to just keep feeding pigeons, are you?"

Compared to Jiang Chen’s indifference, Pei Yunxi seemed more like the instigator of this business war.

Looking at the worried woman, Jiang Chen suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?"

Pei Yunxi frowned slightly.

"Nothing."

Jiang Chen exhaled.

"Haste doesn’t bring success. Dealing with a company like K.E, being impatient is not the way to go," he said nonchalantly, then suddenly changed the subject.

"Do you know what the cruelest punishment is?"

Pei Yunxi’s eyes flickered, and she remained silent.

Jiang Chen stepped closer.

"It’s to give them hope and then plunge them into despair. In a constant tug of war between hope and despair, they will break down completely."

Pei Yunxi was taken aback.

Against the backdrop of white pigeons, symbols of peace and beauty, the aura emanating from the young man was especially profound and unfamiliar, even sending a trace of unspoken fear through her.

As Pei Yunxi was momentarily lost, Jiang Chen unobtrusively took her hand.

"It’s time to have lunch. Mr. Bankton should already be waiting for us."

Once there’s a first time, there’ll be a second, and then a third.

Just like the interactions between men and women, once you get to first base, can second base be far behind?

Perhaps she hadn’t come to her senses, Pei Yunxi forgot to struggle and let the young man lead her away as she turned around.

Pigeons circled over their heads.
