Charlotte was startled for a moment. She drank some water to hide her emotions.
Rick continued, "Right now, NC's situation is not serious. Maybe it's just another one of Shane's plans. He might have suspected that there is a mole in NC, so he played along with Christopher. It's also possible that Christopher is the mole."
"Christopher is a good person." Charlotte immediately retorted.
"There are no good or bad people in the capital market, only profit and loss."
"It's merciless." She lowered her head.
"A few years ago, you promised that by learning, you could definitely take back what you have lost. Are you backing down now?"
"I didn't!"
Charlotte replied in agitation, "I'll get it back in my own way. I don't necessarily have to do it how the capital market does it."
Rick was not annoyed at all. He stretched his body and tapped the armrest of the sofa lightly with his long fingers. "Lottie, have you done anything productive after returning to our home country for so long? Without capital to back you up, you won't even be able to walk through the gates of the Emerson family."
"Yes." Charlotte thought.
"He was right."
She said that she wanted revenge, but in fact, she did not have the courage to cut off all means of retreat.
She was like a frog in warm water, slowly watching herself being boiled to death in the pot.
"Let's not talk about Christopher for the time being, but you have to be clear about what is going to happen next."
"I... got it."
Charlotte didn't expect this.
In the end, what made her qualified to face the Emerson Corporation and Elaine was not hatred nor anger, but Rick's gentle and patient voice.
After a week.
Every day, Charlotte would recite all kinds of terms to an extreme state. She had no basics in finance, and she had to start learning everything about it by reading "The Wealth of Nations".
Fortunately, Rick was always beside her. He
could explain difficult problems in a simpler way, making it easier for her to learn finance than at school. As for deeper problems, she did not have enough time to settle them due to her being in a rush.
In the week alone, NC's stock prices fell. Emerson Corporation had purchased nearly 30% of the shares, and Shane only had about 40% of them.
If things went on like this, it was just a matter of time before NC would have a new chairperson.
"This isn't right." Rick looked at the report and found that there was something wrong with it. "When Shane created NC, which was a wholly-owned enterprise, he should still have 60% of the shares in addition to the old shareholders of the Fuller Group."
"20% of the shares have disappeared." Charlotte also noticed the problem.
"I don't see any information on any share transfer notaries."
So he hid his shares?
No, there was no way to hide shares.
The only way was to transfer it to someone, but who would Shane transfer 20% of the shares to?
Rick asked his special assistant to send
Charlotte back to the villa. After sitting alone in the office for a long time, he finally asked his secretary to call out everything under Charlotte's name.
He finally found the 20% of shares that might not even be found by anyone in the whole world.
Shane actually hid the shares under the name of the woman who he married and divorced in secret.
Not to mention the people of the Emerson family, even Shane's former best friend, Christopher, who had participated in this scheme, would not expect the whereabouts of these shares.
Charlotte was Shane's trump card.
Rick closed his eyes.
"From the point of view of the capital market, I should make Charlotte transfer the shares to me now and let Shane disappear in the capital circle..."
NC was excellent in both angel investments and A rounds. They invested in dozens of companies, large and small.
Not to mention that they still had properties under their name.
20% of NC's shares was almost equal to the lifelong wealth of the top ten wealthiest people in a city.
After a while.
Rick opened his eyes and undid his necktie. He took out his phone and tapped on the word "Anne" in the contacts.
"Brother?" Anne seemed to be in a mall, and the noise over there was very loud.
"How did Shane and Charlotte get divorced?"
