Your Majesty the Emperor sat high on the steps, watching the Prime Minister calmly explain how Yuan Rong Capital should be handled going forward.
Faced with the shareholders' demands, he gave the matter little thought and simply tossed the question to the Prime Minister. "What do you think?"
Naturally, the other ministers had no intention of meddling. The Prime Minister wanted to obtain control over the finances, which had nothing to do with them, so they would not take the initiative to get involved.
As far as the other ministers were concerned, they currently held power, and there was no chance of losing it in the short term. Therefore, they had no need to take the initiative and do anything foolish.
After remaining silent for a while, the Prime Minister said, "Your Majesty, admitting a mistake is nothing to be ashamed of. We should acknowledge the errors in our work that allowed an unsuitable company like Yuan Rong Capital to be listed."
"During this process, some people relied on certain methods to make a dishonorable fortune. I believe we should make them hand over that money to compensate the others, and impose the corresponding Punitive Fine."
"We must make these opportunists—and even those with some connection to Yuan Rong Capital—understand one principle: some money cannot be taken!"
After hearing this, Your Majesty the Emperor pondered. The person who had profited the most from this upheaval should be Lin Qi, right?
If they took away the money he had earned and then fined him as well, it seemed like an excellent proposal. Whether considered from a public or private perspective, it was a wonderful choice, and Your Majesty the Emperor was sorely tempted.
However, he did not agree immediately. Instead, he thought for a while, considering the details of the matter.
