Chapter 157: Ending, Eternal Night Arms
London, England.
"Fuck, Franz, that damned bastard, it's all ruined, everything is ruined!"
Charlie swept the exquisite tea set on the table away fiercely, his breathing was a little rapid, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
"Quick, tell them to bring the batch of gold back to me as soon as possible, and the others should not come back for the time being."
As if thinking of something, Charlie hurriedly ordered the secretary who was standing at a loss.
"Yes!"
Looking at the secretary's flustered steps, Charlie took out a tissue to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He walked quickly to the table and directly dialed the number he didn't want to dial.
As the call was connected.
"Count Andre, have you contacted the Grand Duke of Evernight? His behavior has seriously violated British law!"
"Charlie, I'm sorry, I can't help you this time!"
The voice coming from the microphone made Charlie's face change instantly.
"Count Andre, are you afraid of that foreign Grand Duke? He is just a new guy. Don't forget that you still have 20% of the company's shares. Which of your private armed forces' weapons and vehicles are not provided by the company?"
"...Haha, Charlie, you still have the nerve to say that. How low has the company's stock fallen now? 20%? It's a hot potato now! And now I have cleared out my stocks and am no longer a shareholder of the company. I hope you can understand that I have nothing to do with you...beep...beep"
The sound of the phone hanging up came to his ears, and Charlie angrily threw the phone in his hand against the wall.
"Boss, the guy who shorted our company that you asked us to investigate before seems to have some clues."
"Who is it!"
Charlie shouted with red eyes. Although he already knew that the situation at hand was the work of the Grand Duke of Eternal Night, he felt that there must be someone else who shorted his company, most likely several other British arms dealers. How could those guys target him for no reason, and with an outsider?
"It seems to be the Duke of Evernight. We learned that he founded an organization called Evernight Fund. This organization brings together many elites from related industries. At the beginning of its establishment, nearly 100 million pounds of funds were sent into it.
We estimate that he probably made nearly double our money by shorting us. Now many shareholders have called here. They seem to be unable to hold on. Count Andre directly sold 20%!"
"Fuck, damn guy, why is he targeting me? No, if this goes on, the company will be finished. Doesn't the military always want to purchase our armed helicopters and corresponding technologies? Sell them all to them, no, including those bases in Africa, they understand the value of them."
Charlie's brain is working fast. Although he is not the largest arms giant in the UK, he is also famous. Recently, he has signed an arms trade contract with Stark Industries, a rising star in the United States.
Now, this situation has caused his capital chain to break. In order to maintain the stability of the company, he has used most of his money to buy the shares sold by those shareholders, but it is still dwarfed.
Now it seems that even his years of hard work have to be reluctantly abandoned. You know, his recent business direction is all concentrated in the African colonies. The military bases constructed are actually about to be completed. Although they are called military bases, there is actually a small arms processing plant inside. He plans to mass-produce new guns purchased from Stark Industries.
Now he has no choice but to pack these things and sell them at a low price to the military who are watching with eager eyes.
…
In Yongye Manor, Lin Jue carefully tasted the red wine sent by a prince and listened to the report of his blood descendants.
"Ancestor, Charlie Company has begun to sell its own arms processing plant, and Stark Industries has sent news that they have begun to urge Charlie Company to complete the subsequent fund transactions as soon as possible."
"Oh, you can't hold on?"
"What did the military say?"
"They have agreed to Charlie's intention to sell. According to your request, they have cut the price by nearly 20%. It can be said that it is a complete fire sale."
"Take all the things, notify the people in Egypt, and send that guy to the military court as soon as possible. Once that guy sells the stocks and continues to lower the price, we will take him down at once."
"Yes!"
Looking at the figure of the blood descendant leaving quickly, Lin Jue's eyes flickered slightly, and from a perspective that ordinary people cannot see, a light curtain appeared in front of him.
It was the dimensional panel.
Seeing that Twilight City was already full of dimensional energy, Lin Jue suppressed his excitement. Thanks to the unique rules of the Marvel Universe and the DC Universe, he defeated the Charlie Company, which had the worst reputation, and dealt with its mercenaries, accumulating a large amount of dimensional energy at a very fast speed.
After all, for the indigenous people of Egypt, those mercenaries burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. Lin Jue's actions were naturally a punishment for evil and a promotion for good.
This wave really yielded a lot...
Lin Jue looked at the Vampire Diaries, which was about to be fully charged, with some surprise.
…
A month later, along with the headlines of British newspapers, the famous Charlie Company's stock price plummeted due to the imprisonment of its largest shareholder, and was directly controlled by the remaining shareholders and went into bankruptcy.
Amid the wailing of the relevant shareholders, Lin Jue, the Grand Duke, stood up and said that he did not want a rising British arms company to go into decline. He happily invested money to buy a large number of stocks that were being sold, and prevented the bankruptcy of Charlie Company in times of crisis.
This made the people who were not familiar with Lin Jue recognize this British Asian Grand Duke.
All the shareholders who had previously been optimistic about Charlie Company and bought a large number of stocks at the "bottom" praised his behavior.
Soon, Charlie Company resumed operation, and the entire operation and management team was completely replaced. Every important position was held by Lin Jue's descendants. At the same time, it was officially renamed Evernight Arms. After the company was completely transformed, many nobles at the top of the UK invested money and signed a large number of arms contracts with Evernight Arms.
Evernight Arms' stock price soared and once exceeded the highest price in the past, which stunned the shareholders who could not wait to sell their stocks when the stock price rose slightly.
In a gorgeous manor, Andre turned his eyes away from today's newspapers and looked at the man sitting in front of him with some awe.
"Your Excellency, Grand Duke Yongye, Charlie is too greedy and selfish. I have never approved of his behavior, but I have no say in the company's operations. His actions..."
"Ah? Count Andre is joking. I am not here to blame you."
"What does the Grand Duke mean?"
"Nothing. I just want you to be a witness and report some of his evil deeds. It's best to keep him in there to avoid losing his life."
"...Yes!"
