Money Only to Burn

Chapter 88

Cyril smiled and did not say a word. At that moment, Hatcher sent him a message.

"We've got Maarten distracted. We have also purchased more than all shares from other shareholders. Shareholders' meeting is underway to elect a new chairman."

After reading the message, Cyril moved her forehead, turned around and told Niena

"Let's talk business now"

Niena thinks Cyril could have taken her time. He just doesn't know what's up his sleeve. He'll find out soon enough.

"So you took great pains to bring me here. What do you want? "

"I love your live streaming business. You did a very good job. I want you to join me... "

Niena cut it off before she could finish it.

"No, the Flying Dutchman is my baby. I started from zero. There's no way I'm selling it to anyone."

Niena did think that was what Cyril had been after all this time. That really isn't.

"Don't rush to give me an answer. I'm not done yet. Listen to me carefully. " Cyril smiled and continued.

"We will separate your live streaming business into a business entity by itself. You have complete control over operations and management. You have thirty percent shareholding and an initial capital of two hundred million dollars for early stage marketing.

"In addition, Permanent will prioritize all streaming programs and stars to promote Flying Dutchman. What are you thinking? What an interesting term? "

Cyril also admired Niena as she spoke. She was a sultry beauty who looked mature.

The red cheongsam on it is very attention-grabbing which compliments its curved sex figure.

"Everything sounds so sweet and perfect. Then again, why should I trust you?

"You're just a division manager at Permanent. You have no say in acquisitions and strategic planning. Come on, two hundred million... I'm not stupid. "

Niena does not believe Cyril has the power to make this decision.

Once again, he refused but Cyril blinked his eyes and said, "Well, you can choose not to trust me but I think soon, you might not have a choice."

"What do you mean?" he caught Niena's attention. He doesn't like his tone of speech. He has a bad sign.

Cyril pulled out his phone and showed Niena a picture.

In it, Maarten is hammered intoxicated in a bar.

"What did you do to Maarten?!" Niena is upset to see Maarten not listening to her and instead leaves Green Enterprises for her negotiations with Hatcher Chambers.

It was all set to lure him into a trap.

Now, Cyril and Hatcher had the upper hand instead.

"Don't worry about it. He's just drunk. Wait, there's another photo." Cyril smiled and showed what Leo sent him.

In the photo, Niena sees Green Enterprises shareholders in a conference room with DH Enterprises management staff.

"Whatis that? What the hell is going on? "

Niena thought it might be possible for them to call a board meeting to re-elect the new Chairman of the Board but she did not want to believe it was true.

Little by little, he began to put it all together.

Now he understood why he was being lured to this abandoned factory.

With him and Maarten out of action, Hatcher Chambers can manipulate shareholders into acting in their favor.

Anyone in his situation would not be able to remain calm.

"To be honest, I'm not interested in changing management for Green Enterprises. What I'm more interested in is making you Chairman of the board. "Cyril grinning.

Between changing the controlling party at Green Enterprises and creating a rift between Maarten and Niena, he decides on the latter.

"What if Maarten comes to her senses and finds out that it was you who betrayed them to overthrow her as the group leader?

"And what if I told them you were the one who led me to cheat on their assets? What will your brother and nephew think? "

"You are sneaky. You want to make a split between Maarten and me." Niena nagging.

He never thought he could be so cruel. He looks too ordinary. She creates a desperate situation for Green Enterprises and simultaneously, she wants her brother and she is estranged.

That is the reality of the business world.

Either stay ahead in the game or admit defeat.

"What can be done to preserve Green Enterprises?" Niena was getting tired of emotions.

He knew he had to compromise. The choice between retaining as much family power over Green Enterprises as possible or being estranged from her brother was a choice she did not want to choose.

Seeing such a hot, sultry woman admitting her defeat made Cyril smile and say, "Don't worry. You can try this 1) Try giving Mr. Chambers the shares you hold in Green Enterprises unconditionally.

"Mr Chambers hates it when someone tries to figure out what the point is. 2)

"If you faithfully work for me, the conditions I offered before still apply. You have complete control over the Flying Dutchman."

Niena was moved. He instinctively knew that the person in front of him was not what everyone thought.

"I can work with you but I need the shareholder meeting canceled, or I won't be able to commit."

Niena wants to test whether Cyril really has the power and authority to lead the management of DH Enterprises.

"It was considered finished. Give me a minute. " Cyril then makes a FaceTime video call to Leo.

Leo answered the call from the conference room at Green Enterprises.

"Mr Woodley, what can I do for you?"

"Cancel the board meeting. I'll tell Mr. Chambers. " Cyril said with great dignity.

"Yes, Sir. I'm gonna do it now. "

Without closing the video call, Leo turned to announce to the shareholders that the meeting had been canceled. The shareholders grumbled but started to leave.

Niena saw the whole video conference.

When it was over, Cyril turned to her and said, "So how is that? Do you agree now? I have kept my promise. "

"good. I concur. I concur. I'll work for you next." Niena actually had no choice.

But in his heart, he knew this might change lives. Although the person in front of him looked to everyone as someone insignificant.

"We are co-workers. Don't be so formal. I just happen to be responsible for the live streaming business." He said humbly, his heart pounding.

"good. Lunch with yuk." Niena sighed.

Ever since he came back from M for his studies and started working for his family, he has faced many business opponents, but never has he met someone who beat him so badly.

So much so, he had to use himself as part of the negotiation.
