Chapter 1783 The Biggest Beneficiary
Luke stayed silent. His girlfriend coughed. “Luke, just tell us. Everyone’s mentally prepared.” Another person spoke up. “Yeah, don’t scare us. Did Goddess Nicole not like our small company? I thought there was a chance since she came personally…”
OS O “Sigh… I thought I had the opportunity to approach The Goddess again, but it turned out to be a failure…” Luke pursed his lips. He mustered up the strength and smiled. “Since you guys know that the person who came earlier was Nicole from Stanton Corporation, then I’ll tell you the result of today’s meeting.”
Luke paused, and everyone pricked up their ears to listen. “Nicole agreed to make a one-time payment of $200 million to acquire our company, but she’ll take 49% of the shares. I personally feel that she’ll get too many shares, so I wanted to discuss it with you guys first.” After he said that, everyone fell silent.
Luke wrinkled his eyebrows. o DOO Everyone looked dumbfounded and did not react as he expected. Did they agree or disagree? Luke coughed. “If you guys have an opinion, I can talk to her again.” ) One of his buddies tentatively asked him.
“$200 million? You’re not joking, right?” The other guy also stared at him in surprise. “Goddess Nicole wants to acquire us for $200 million and only wants 49% of our shares? Did a pie just fall from the sky?!” a Although Luke’s girlfriend was also excited, when she saw Luke’s reaction, she spoke for the opposition.
“49%? Isn’t that a bit high?” Luke looked over and was interrupted by a buddy 3 O “How is 49% too much? I’ve asked someone to inquire about our company’s market value. Our company is worth $5 million at most. Even if our development i s smooth and we expand operations, our value will only reach $20 million within three years.
Don’t even think about hundreds of millions of dollars!” Everyone immediately looked excited. “Of course, we agree! Boss, this is a once- in-a-lifetime opportunity! Hurry up and say yes! Don’t let them backtrack!” Luke was speechless.
He could not carry this group of companions no matter how capable he was. At once, Luke felt that he was a bit naive before. He lowered and shook his head, then smiled as he looked at them. 3 “In that case, you all agree?” Everyone nodded their heads.
Luke said, “Okay. If you guys agree, then I’ll contact them about the next steps. But there are some things that I must say upfront. Stanton Corporation will take 49 % of our shares. The remaining 51% will b e split among us equally.
Once any one of us has a different opinion, then the biggest beneficiary will be Stanton Corporation.” 1 After that, everyone fell silent. Di Finally, they understood the meaning of Luke’s words. “That is to say, in the future, Stanton Corporation will be the one calling the shots in our company?” Luke nodded his head.
“Then… Boss, what are you going to do? What will we do without you as our boss? We only trust you…” “Yeah, Boss! We followed you, so we believe in you.” Luke bowed his head and smiled bitterly.
His voice was dull as he said, “Don’t worry, I’m not leaving. I’ll also become another employee who works for Stanton Corporation. In the future, if there are no accidents, Stanton Corporation will have a special team come over to take over this place. Or they’ll move us to a better place. The company will only get better.” Luke just would not have the absolute say anymore. However, the company would definitely face a lot less difficulties and resistance o n Stanton Corporation’s platform. Luke could not deny this fact.
