Chapter 1387 - 1401: Someone Is Targeting Wenshan
At this moment, a staff member brought over coffee and snacks for the two, and Song Yu even specially fried two eggs for An Ran.
Looking at the two heart-shaped fried eggs, An Ran blew a kiss gesture towards Song Yu behind the bar, turned his head, took a bite of the fried egg, and then looked at Huo Shaohua, "Please continue."
"I can wait for Mr. An to finish eating before I continue," Huo Shaohua looked at the fried eggs in front of her. If any customers saw this now, they would definitely find this café quite odd.
"No need, you go ahead. I can listen while I eat."
"Alright," Huo Shaohua nodded and continued, "President Jin has already contacted companies with related businesses in the provinces and Imperial City to discuss cooperation. However, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst, and the increased travel costs are not the best choice for the company. These days, the stock market of Wenshan Group has been volatile, yet no business matters have been leaked."
"Do you suspect someone is sabotaging Wenshan?" An Ran took a sip of coffee and suddenly asked.
"It’s possible; I have worked at Wenshan Group for over ten years, and such a situation has never occurred. Even during the transition of ownership in the past, there were no financial issues. On the contrary, during that time, because Wenshan Group was announced to be included in the Mu Family, the stock market grew by nearly 30%. So, the reason for these partners breaking contracts must not be a consequence of Wenshan’s change of ownership."
Huo Shaohua analyzed the situation for An Ran very thoroughly.
Recently, he, Jin Weiliang, and a number of senior executives also meticulously analyzed the company’s current situation and communicated with those partner companies that broke contracts. The outcome was unexpected for them, yet it had to be faced.
"Yesterday, the senior executives and the remaining two small shareholders all proposed whether the monthly funds directed to Saintly and Shengwen could be controlled, allowing the company to operate normally."
What Huo Shaohua did not say was that the two small shareholders astonishingly proposed to close Saintly Charity Nursing Home and Shengwen Welfare Institute yesterday. In their view, the existence of these two institutions was merely a financial burden on Wenshan Group.
However, the truth was indeed so.
An Ran took a bite of black forest cake and curled the corners of her mouth. She had long wanted to deal with those two small shareholders. Initially, she acquired all of Cui Deqin’s shares, while the other two shareholders only sold half of their shares.
Later, it was heard that the two of them saw Wenshan being incorporated into the Mu Family and spent heavily to purchase some shares from retail investors, attempting to expand their stakes.
Now, by making these statements, they were merely looking at the decline in Wenshan’s stock market, thinking their dream of getting a share from the Mu Family this year was shattering, so they turned their attention to Saintly Charity Nursing Home and Shengwen Welfare Institute.
When she acquired Wenshan, her greatest satisfaction was that Wenshan owned these three medical charitable institutions.
An Ran stuffed the last bite of black forest cake into her mouth, took a sip of coffee, and then slowly said, "Regardless of Wenshan’s situation, the funding for Saintly Charity Nursing Home, Shengwen Welfare Institute, and Shengde Hospital cannot be reduced by a cent. As for those two small shareholders, if they have objections, they can well sell off their shares. With only 3% of shares each, they have no say."
"Okay," Huo Shaohua responded.
He knew this would be the result. Today, he came to find An Ran merely because the shareholders and senior executives caused a big commotion yesterday. In this situation, he must consult An Ran. Since An Ran has spoken, he has nothing to worry about.
