Chapter 312: Trap

Osborne Group Building.

"Mr. Eldridge, I feel sad for what happened to Mr. Lin Jue of your company. How much has he contributed to America? He has created hundreds of thousands of jobs, but the American government actually let him suffer a terrorist attack in the center of New York..."

The words with a hint of sadness echoed in the empty Osborne top floor reception room.

Eldridge remained silent. He stood in front of the huge French window, looking down at the prosperous city below, with a flash of scarlet in his eyes. More and more reporters were like flies smelling sweetness. Not long after he arrived at the Osborne Group, those reporters had already surrounded the door of the Osborne Group.

After a long time without a response, Norman Osborne looked a little embarrassed, but he was not angry because of Eldridge's silence.

Who would have thought that in just one night, the capital market in New York had undergone earth-shaking changes.

And all this was just because of one person.

Yongye Company controls more than 90% of the shares of each branch, and as the direct helmsman of Yongye Main Company, Duke Yongye controls 100% of the shares of Yongye Main Company.

The accident of the Grand Duke Yongye is equivalent to a heavy blow to Yongye Main Company, so Yongye's major branches, including Yongye Arms, Yongye Biology, Yongye Medical, and even Yongye Marvel Company and other emerging industries have suffered serious blows.

Especially the newly established entertainment industry, Yongye Marvel, it is said that this film and television company is one of the most important projects of Yongye in recent stages, and the initial investment is more than 100 million US dollars.

This is simply incredible in the United States now, but now, the development of Yongye Marvel Film and Television Company has stagnated instantly due to the turmoil of the main company.

It was jointly encircled and suppressed by other film and television companies in the United States, and a large number of excellent film and television producers recruited were poached one after another. It can be said that it was torn apart.

It caused an uproar in the entertainment circle of the United States, and several artists who were originally planned to sign were also suspended.

This is just a microcosm of the Evernight Company.

If Marvel Studios had not had a huge amount of liquidity, the entire company would probably no longer exist.

Small industries have suffered a fatal blow, and large industries are also wavering. As for the man in front of him, Norman Osborn mourned for half a second in his heart.

Eldridge controls the Evernight Fund, the largest pillar industry of Evernight Company. In just one night, it was jointly besieged by major securities companies and fund companies on Wall Street, and the situation is precarious.

If it were another company, it would have been killed by the wave of the stock market. This is because 90% of the shares of the Evernight Fund are controlled by the Evernight Group. Otherwise, it is estimated that it is the most dangerous branch of the Evernight Group's major industries!

The Wall Street stock market is frantically shorting the shares of the Evernight pillar industry. The turbulent stock market has set off a huge wave because of the death of the Evernight helmsman.

All capital seems to have fallen into madness, trying to devour and divide the Evernight capital.

Norman Osborn's face could not help but flash a trace of sadness. For the Osborn Group, the newly established Yongye Biology is in the early stages of development and has not even been listed. It is impossible to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune. Now even the billion US dollars of financing that is delivered to its mouth is about to disappear.

"There is no friendship in front of capital, only eternal interests. Obviously, a cooperation agreement was signed before, but just because a flaw was revealed, these guys even paid a huge penalty to take a bite. This is a group of typical jackals!"

Eldridge's mouth curled up a sneer. As a business wizard who has swallowed up various companies, these guys' methods, whether openly or secretly, have been seen by him.

He is not only not worried about the current situation, but even smells a hint of the taste of Yongye's further development.

"Mr. Aldridge, we at Osborne Group deeply sympathize with your company's current situation, and I can promise that we at Osborne Bio will never add fuel to the fire for your company."

Norman Osborne quickly stood up and explained. Although he was also envious, he was also the head of a potential American giant company, so he could see more clearly than those guys who were controlled by capital.

Eternal Night is not so easy to deal with. Except for the various pillar industries that have been listed, the core assets of Evernight have no plans to be listed at all, and they will not be controlled by capital if they are not listed.

No matter how jubilant these guys are, they can only gnaw on some scraps. After studying Aldridge for a period of time, he deeply understood that once Evernight recovers, the jackals will be greeted with a crazy blow.

Slowly turning around, Aldridge looked at Norman Osborne with a smile.

"Mr. Norman, you know, due to the Evernight Company's affairs, we are eager to bring Miss Eve back to our Evernight, so I have to come to your company in advance at this critical juncture."

"I know, I hope that the news that Miss Eve will become an executive of Evernight can temporarily calm down the previous turmoil a little bit."

"Well, I'm glad you understand! We are eager to get some important news so that the situation of Yongye will not look so bad in front of the world."

"Thank you for the help of Osborn Group."

Looking at Aldridge who bowed slightly and did not mention the billion-dollar financing, Norman Osborn, who was originally a little hesitant, felt a little regretful.

Such a huge investment originally made him wary, because he preferred to hold the shares in his own hands, but seeing that the investment was gone, he felt a sense of loss.

Sometimes people's emotions are like this, they don't cherish what they get, and they feel regret when they lose it.

The subtle change in Norman Osborn's face was fully seen by Aldridge, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The timing is just right!

"Mr. Norman, in order to express our sincere gratitude to you and our appreciation for the Osborn Group, our company will still fulfill the 1 billion U.S. dollar financing proposal. We plan to acquire 20% of your company's shares. I wonder what Mr. Norman thinks!"

"You still have 1 billion U.S. dollars?"

Norman Osborn was stunned, looking at Eldridge in front of him with a serious look in disbelief.

You must know that with the current situation of Evernight, the huge amount of cash of 1 billion U.S. dollars should be used to stabilize the shares of Evernight's pillar industries. Once injected, it will definitely have a certain impact on the current capital turmoil.

But now, Eldridge is still willing to pay 1 billion U.S. dollars without caring about his own company.

From this, the smart Norman Osborn smelled something extraordinary.

Evernight Company is hiding its shortcomings!

Shit, Evernight Group definitely has a huge amount of funds beyond our imagination. It seems that they are blooming and spending money crazily, but in fact they still have spare energy!

The thoughts in his mind changed quickly in a flash, and Norman Osborn could not hide the shock on his face even if he had the deepest scheming.

"Shouldn't your company need this money to maintain the company?"

"Haha, Mr. Norman doesn't know that at present, in addition to those major entertainment industries, there are also companies in the real estate pillar that have been listed by the Evernight Group. The core capital of the Evernight Group has no intention of listing at all. As long as they can't shake the core of Evernight Capital, they will never be able to completely defeat Evernight.

Some new industries under Evernight, such as film and television, medical care, and biology, are just details. The original high stock price is just relying on the current popularity of Evernight Company. Even if those people sell off in large quantities, it can't affect the interests of Evernight. On the contrary, it can allow us to further gather more branch industries."

"..."

"If that's the case, it seems that I'm overthinking. Your company is more powerful than we thought!"

Norman smacked his lips, but secretly clicked his tongue in his heart. Looking at Aldridge who seemed unusually calm in front of him, Norman Osborn knew that the guy in front of him was showing his strength to him.

Judging from the situation, the Evernight Fund is undoubtedly the core industry of Evernight Capital, controlling most of the cash of Evernight Capital, and his words show that the Evernight Group still has sufficient funds.

He seemed to be a bystander, watching his children being beaten up one after another. Once the storm is over, he will definitely attack as a parent, using this as an excuse to plunder the flesh and blood of those jackals.

Hiss...

The expression changed quickly, and Norman Osborn smiled: "I don't doubt the strength of your company, but 20% of the shares worth one billion US dollars..."

He showed a trace of embarrassment on his face.

"Mr. Norman, I am sincere this time. One billion US dollars, judging from your company's current stock price, can at least reach the level of 21%. In addition, you also know the current situation of our Yongye..."

"But, at present, the Osborne Group has just signed cooperation agreements with several biomaterial companies. A breakthrough in drug research in a certain aspect will surely bring a huge leap to our Yongye Group. To be honest, the current stock price is just our foundation!"

Norman Osborne frowned. 20% of the shares is equivalent to cutting off an arm of their Osborne family. Even if one billion US dollars is extremely tempting and can greatly accelerate the development of the Osborne Group, the hidden pros and cons still make him think carefully.

"What if 20% of the shares, plus the cooperation of Yongye Biology?"

"Yongye Biology?"

Norman Osborne looked puzzled.

Yongye Biology is just a pillar industry that Yongye Group has just established. It seems that it has recruited many talents in biomedicine, but in fact it has just started. It is not obvious who will take advantage of the cooperation with Osborne Group.

With Aldridge's ability, it's impossible not to see it!

"Eternal Night Biology can cooperate with us by taking out a werewolf specimen we recently obtained!"

Aldridge's mouth curled up into a smile, and his words made Norman Osborn stand up from the sofa instantly.
