Chapter 746: Seven hundred forty-one, the mysterious second largest shareholder

If that’s the case, it would mean that the woman just now must have made a mistake.

Either she didn’t bother to verify it at all, or she was already a shareholder and was deceiving herself. However, Gu Chen felt that such deception made no sense because he was already a shareholder, and regardless of what she did, it couldn’t change the fact that he was a shareholder.

At this moment, he felt very anxious and uncertain about whether it was true or false.

But whether it was true or not, he thought that another phone call would clear things up.

As the saying goes, true gold fears no fire, he trusts himself, and as a real shareholder, they could do nothing to him.

He was about to call the receptionist again, but he quickly realized something was amiss.

The woman had just told him she had verified that he was definitely not a shareholder of the company.

That meant even if he made another call, it would be the same.

So he decided not to make that call this time.

He searched online carefully, hoping to find some other contact information for the company.

Although many companies do not have official websites these days, Gu Chen’s search turned up a surprising find.

He discovered that this liquor company actually had an official website, and they were currently seeking investments, meaning he could likely find the contact information he was looking for on this site.

After searching, he indeed found the contact information he wanted on the website.

Looking at the phone number, he dialed, not knowing who would be on the other end.

After a long wait during the phone call, the call finally went through.

"Hello." A voice with a magnetic quality from a man came through the phone.

Upon hearing this voice, Gu Chen found it very unfamiliar.

However, he could sense a serious undertone.

It was as if the man talking had no humanity at all.

"Hello, I would like to inquire about something."

Gu Chen said to the person on the other end of the phone.

The person on the line showed an apparent impatience.

"What is it? If there’s anything, please call our company’s front desk. This is the investment attraction line."

He explained to Gu Chen that the so-called investment attraction line was specifically set up to draw in investors, and clearly, in his view, Gu Chen wasn’t calling with the intention to invest.

"I just want to verify something."

Gu Chen responded.

Although Gu Chen’s tone was sincere and he seemed open to discussion.

It appeared that the person on the other end had little interest.

"If you require any business services or wish to verify something, please call that number directly, thank you."

At that moment, he said on the other end of the line.

After hearing this, Gu Chen wasn’t sure what to say for a moment.

The attitude of the employees in the company seemed quite average.

"I am a shareholder of your company with 20% of the shares. May I use this line?"

Gu Chen’s tone was not as polite as before.

A few times is fine for him, but encountering the same dismissive attitude repeatedly would naturally make him impatient, and he was also someone with a temper.

The man on the phone seemed somewhat incredulous upon hearing Gu Chen’s claim.

"You’re saying that you hold 20% of our company’s shares?"

The man confirmed whether Gu Chen had just been babbling nonsense.

"I am certain, and I firmly believe that I hold that many shares in your company," Gu Chen said assertively.

The person on the phone fell silent for a moment upon hearing this.

The feeling was as if he didn’t know whether to take Gu Chen seriously.

"Tell me your name, and I’ll verify it," he said to Gu Chen.

"My name is Gu Chen."

After Gu Chen finished speaking, the call was abruptly disconnected.

After hanging up the phone, the man indeed started to investigate the matter within the company legitimately.

Caution and prudence were his means of establishing a foothold in the company over a long time; he had noticed many minor details because of his careful nature.

Success or failure often hinges on such details, and there were countless instances where his attention to detail had impressed his superiors, leading to his promotion to his current position through repeated recognition.

Although the call from Gu Chen felt unfamiliar and even abrupt,

Out of his cautious nature, he decided to make inquiries just in case there was an unexpected gain.

He went to the company’s management level and began asking about the shareholders.

After a thorough investigation, he confirmed that there indeed was such a shareholder.

In the company management’s office at the moment, all the senior managers were present.

"Are you saying that this mysterious shareholder named Gu Chen suddenly showed up?"

"Yes, he just appeared out of nowhere, called me to verify his identity as a shareholder. After thinking about it, I decided to come over and check." The man shared his uneasiness.

There was no way he couldn’t be cautious; never had he expected such an ordinary-sounding call to turn out to be from a company shareholder.

The management team exchanged glances, each looking somewhat skeptical.

"This secretive shareholder can be regarded as the most mysterious existence in our company so far."

"Yes, I remember that since the beginning of our company, there has been someone holding 20% of our shares, and I think he made a significant investment in our company at that time."

"Indeed, but at the time, the shares were not registered in any name until we recently found out this person is Gu Chen."

"What does he mean by making this call all of a sudden? Is he planning to liquidate his shares?"

"I think it’s not impossible. With his 20% of shares, he should be able to cash out tens of millions if he chooses to."

"I think we should contact him again to see if he’s really planning to sell his shares in the company. If so, we might just accommodate his wishes and buy them."
