Over the past two days over the weekend, public opinion has gradually become exhausted after the uproar.
Apart from the initial brief statement and Su Wantang's personal explanation, there was no response from Henglong. It was like a wall of silence, letting the wind and rain blow against the outside world.
This "cold treatment" has caused many people to follow the trend and lose the fuel for continued fermentation, and the performance of Friday in the market has also diverted some attention - capital is always more concerned about the gains and losses of real gold Silver.
Lin Wanqing closely monitors the changes in public opinion, and the fantasy in his heart of using public opinion to kill him with one blow quickly dries up like a popped balloon.
She realized that Zhao Chen's team was more calm than she expected, or in other words, more ruthless.
They don't care about short-term reputational damage and only focus on the established capital goals.
The knife of public opinion struck the opponent's iron-clad procedural justice and Strategic Resolve without leaving even a single white mark.
"You can't count on those media that are like flies anymore."
On Sunday evening, Lin Wanqing was in an empty office, talking to himself against the dusk outside the window, his face gloomy.
The Rights Issue announcement was like Sword of Damocles hanging above her head, and she had to find a more direct and powerful lever.
Zhao Jianguo.
The name flashed into my mind.
Although this man is now in jail and his prestige has been ruined, he is still the nominal number one Major Shareholder and Zhao Chen's father in the legal sense.
More importantly, Subscription Plan had access to his core interests - the huge amount of cash that he and she had deliberately transferred and hidden from Henglong over the years.
Zhao Chen wants to "suck" the money back through Rights Issue. How can Zhao Jianguo agree?
"He will never agree." A cold light flashed in Lin Wanqing's eyes.
At the same time, a trace of joy arose in her heart - fortunately, when she discovered the signs of a relationship between Su Wantang and Zhao Chen that went beyond stepmother and son, she suppressed the urge to tell Zhao Jianguo immediately.
Otherwise, with Zhao Jianguo's extremely suspicious and controlling character, I am afraid that the father and son have already completely broken up, and Zhao Chen may take more extreme measures. How can she be given a chance to deal with it now?
That incident is the last trump card in her hand that may affect the relationship between father and son. She must not play it easily until the moment of real danger comes.
On Monday morning, Lin Wanqing used many connections to get permission to go to Detention Center to meet with Zhao Jianguo.
Meeting Room is cold and solemn, and the air is filled with disinfectant and a depressing atmosphere.
When Zhao Jianguo was brought in by the guards, Lin Wanqing could barely control the shock on his face.
We haven't seen each other for only a few months, and this man who was once so high-spirited and still trying to control everything even in the ward has become much haggard and older.
The bags under his eyes were swollen, and his hair had lost its former well-groomed luster. He was wearing a uniform prison uniform, and although his back was still trying to hold his head up high, he could not hide the dejection that had been drained of his energy.
"Wan Qing, you are here."
Zhao Jianguo's voice came through the phone, with a hint of hoarseness and imperceptible dependence.
Inside, the external information channels he can rely on are extremely limited, and Lin Wanqing has almost become the most important link for him to maintain substantial contact with the outside world.
"Jianguo, how are you? Are you still used to it inside? I brought you some changes of clothes and nutritional supplements, and they have been handed over to the correctional officer."
Lin Wanqing had just the right amount of concern and distress on his face, and said in a gentle tone, "The children are all well too, and they all miss you."
She deliberately mentioned the children to strengthen the unbreakable bond between them.
"I'm fine... I'm sorry for you, there are so many things going on outside."
Zhao Jianguo sighed and searched her face,
"How is the company now? That boy Zhao Chen... hasn't been messing around anymore lately, has he?"
What he is most concerned about is always Henglong's Control and those assets that have not yet been transferred.
Lin Wanqing was waiting for this sentence. The embarrassment and resentment that she could not speak appeared on her face at the right time.
"Jianguo, the company... the current situation is a bit complicated."
She bit her lip, as if she had made up her mind, and took out the abstract of <Subscription Plan> from her Briefcase, and showed it to Zhao Jianguo through the glass.
"Look at this, Zhao Chen... He wants to promote the '10 for 4' Subscription Plan in Board of Directors, and he wants to withdraw nearly one billion in funds from the market!"
"What? Rights Issue?!"
Zhao Jianguo sat up suddenly and stared at the document summary.
"Is he crazy? At this time Rights Issue? Can the stock price hold up? And he has so much money? What does he want to do?"
A barrage of questions revealed his shock and instinctive revulsion.
Rights Issue means that all shareholders must spend real money Silver to subscribe, otherwise the shares will be diluted.
This will undoubtedly consume the precious funds they finally cashed out from the company.
"What does he want to do? I think he has stiffened his wings and wants to completely leave us alone and go it alone!"
Lin Wanqing's tone brought a hint of grievance and incitement,
"For such a big matter, involving the fundamental interests of the company and all shareholders, he actually...
