Chapter 1242: 1242. The Jones couple taking advantage of a crisis
Seeing Elly Campbell slowly place her coffee cup on the table, she looked at Jas Campbell with a faint smile and said,
“That day was that day, now two days have passed, and the situation has changed.”
Jas Campbell had always known that Elly Campbell was a venomous and ruthless woman who wouldn’t show rcy, even to her own father.
So, hearing her say this, his heart imdiately tensed.
“What do you an?”
“What I an is, CEO Campbell spent two days considering, and we too spent two days thinking. The transfer agreent we offered that day is now void.”
Jas Campbell certainly didn’t naively believe that “void” ant Elly Campbell no longer wanted his shares or to provide capital to help him weather the crisis.
Her demands would only beco more outrageous.
He watched Elly Campbell with a dark gaze, waiting for her to continue.
“The amount we offered that day, given the current state of the Campbell company, was a bit much.”
On that day, when he saw the 55% of the shares, Jas Campbell was furious, so much so that he didn’t even notice how much money they had proposed to pay.
But judging by Elly Campbell’s tone, it was probably several tens of billions.
After all, at the peak of the Campbell’s prosperity, his shares could sell for fifty to sixty billion.
Even if cut by half, that would still be twenty to thirty billion.
Thinking this, Jas Campbell looked at Elly Campbell coldly and said,
“Then how much do you want to offer?”
Seeing Elly Campbell hold up one finger, looking at him.
Ten billion?
His eyebrows furrowed. Nearly sixty billion worth of shares, and she offered ten billion?
Ha!
He was just about to curse back at her, but then reconsidered. Given the current stock price of Campbell, ten billion was actually quite generous.
With that ten billion for investnts, or just earning interest at the bank, he wouldn’t have to worry about his livelihood for the rest of his life.
Although it would not be as glorious as the past days, by any asure, he would still be a billionaire, which he could grudgingly accept.
After so ntal preparation, Jas Campbell managed to suppress his anger.
“Fine, ten billion then. When do we sign?”
“Ten billion?”
Elly Campbell looked at Jas Campbell as if he were a fool, and chuckled.
“CEO Campbell might be a fool himself, but don’t treat us, husband and wife, as fools too. With the shares you currently hold, are they really worth ten billion?”
The anger that Jas Campbell had just suppressed flared up again.
“What do you an? My shares worth sixty billion, and you think ten billion is too much?”
“Sixty billion? CEO Campbell, perhaps you are living in a dream and have no intention of waking up?”
Elly Campbell didn’t give him any leeway, and sarcastically said,
“The Campbell company that you’ve driven to the verge of bankruptcy – do you truly not know its current worth, or are you playing dumb in front of us?”
Jas Campbell felt sowhat guilty at her words.
The current state of Campbell was nearly declaring bankruptcy; the shares simply represented how much debt he was in.
The reason he was quarreling with the Jones couple was that a few tens of billions didn’t seem much to them.
Besides, once they had control of Campbell, it would beco a massive fortune again.
In his opinion, spending ten billion to buy his shares was not a bad deal for the two of them.
But they still were unwilling to buy.
Jas Campbell was filled with resentnt but now, like a tiger fallen flat being teased by dogs, he could only follow their will.
“Ha! Then what does your one finger an? It can’t possibly be one billion?”
He originally ant it as a sarcastic retort, but saw Elly Campbell nod without hesitation, “Correct!”
At that, Jas Campbell was truly unsettled!
