"Hmph! If it weren't for them, how could things have ended up like this? I'd long heard that the Bald Eagle bunch were shameless and despicable, but I never expected them to be this despicable." A middle-aged woman seated nearby, wearing a shirt, vest, jeans, and black-rimmed glasses, cursed bitterly.
"What else can we do? Negotiate with them! Lin Jun is being detained now. If those people torture a confession out of him, our losses will only grow." Another lean young man in a gray-blue plaid suit and gold-rimmed glasses spoke calmly. "Don't forget, although this situation looks serious, they've clearly sent us a message: this can be negotiated."
"Negotiate my ass! The stock has already fallen twelve percent today—it hit the limit down! The market has only just opened. It'll definitely fall even harder later!" A chubby executive slammed the table and shouted excitedly.
"Enough. I called you here to discuss this, not to argue." The white-haired old man seated at the head of the table frowned and rebuked them.
He was Nakamura Koji, chairman of RL.
Seeing their boss lose his temper, everyone lowered their heads and dared not speak further.
Nakamura Koji pondered for a moment before asking, "Murata, how much capital does RL have left? I want the truth."
"Reporting to the chairman, one of the projects we previously borrowed money for has been notified by the bank to suspend operations temporarily. Several other projects have also run into unexpected problems, so... they directly froze all our funds in Bald Eagle." A woman in business attire spoke softly.
"What?" Everyone's expressions changed drastically.
"Damn it!" Nakamura Koji furiously hurled the pen holder on the table at the wall.
Bang! The glass shattered and scattered across the floor.
That action made the other shareholders fall completely silent.
