Chapter 1640 Choosing One
Stunned, Chris stared blankly at the will and was lost for words.novelbin
Racking his brains desperately, he realized that he would only have a twenty percent stake in NachtGroup after giving away twenty to Charlotte and not receiving anything from Henry as his inheritance.
Furthermore, he would be relegated to the same position as Charlotte in the company at twentypercent.
Consequently, all his decisions would require Charlotte’s consent.
For example, his plan to get Jesse onto the board would now need her permission.
Therefore, he felt as if he had lost the advantage his identity gave him.
Just when he had run out of ideas, his secretary, Jean, reminded him from behind, “Mr. Nacht, for thisexchange, you don’t necessarily have to use the shares of Nacht Group. Instead, you can replacesome of it with Divine Corporation.”
Chris’ eyes lit up the moment he heard her. He replied excitedly, “That’s right! I only owe her about afew hundred billion, right? I’ll just give her a ten percent stake in Nacht Group and pay off the rest withshares in Divine Corporation.”
“Mr. Nacht, we have already done the math.” The accounted showed him a table. “Divine Corporation’smarket capitalization is only one-tenth of Nacht Group. In other words, even if you hand over yourentire stake in Divine Corporation, you still have to give Ms. Lindberg a ten percent stake in NachtGroup.”
Unable to comprehend the situation, Chris was bewildered. “Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake?It’s only two years’ worth of profits. How can it be equal to an entire stake in Divine Corporation?”
“There’s no mistake,” the accountant replied with certainty. “Ever since its establishment, DivineCorporation has always been investing. It wasn’t until the last three years that they began to turn aprofit. As for the agreement you signed with Ms. Lindberg, it relates exactly to these three years.”
After a brief pause, the accountant added, “As for your share in the profits from Nacht Group over thelast three years, this is how much it is.”
Almost choking on himself, Chris was so infuriated that he was utterly stumped.
“So, which proposal do you prefer?” Rodney carefully inquired. “Do you want to give Ms. Lindberg thewhole of Divine Corporation and ten percent of Nacht Group, or do you want to give her twenty percentof Nacht Group instead?”
“Let me think about it.”
Feeling as if he had his mind blown, Chris didn’t know what he should do.
“Mr. Nacht, given the magnitude of the matter, you will need more time to consider it. Why don’t yougive your answer later?” Jean reminded softly.
“Right.” Chris quickly regained his senses. “I’ll think about it and decide later.”
Subsequently, Rodney and the rest turned to Charlotte and waited for her response.
“How long more do you need?” Charlotte demanded. “The board of directors has been stuck here formany hours. Are you expecting them to spend the night in the conference room?”
“Given that everyone is here, you had better make the decision,” Johann urged.
“That’s right. Everyone is waiting for you,” Spencer reiterated.
“Half an hour,” Chris fumed. “I’ll need to use the washroom first. We’ll talk again when I’m back.”
With that, he turned and left with Jean and a few bodyguards following behind him.
“The washroom is nothing but an excuse. He is obviously trying to discuss the situation with Mr. Gold,”Lucy ranted. “What’s wrong with Mr. Nacht now? Why does he need to seek Mr. Gold’s permission foreverything he does?”
“I noticed it too. During the meeting, he seemed to be directed by Mr. Gold.”
A few of the younger members of senior management remarked with concern, “Mr. Nacht seems to bebehaving strangely ever since he returned.”
“Even his habits have changed,” another secretary commented. “He isn’t focused on work and doesn’tgo through his documents properly. Instead, he delegates them to that new secretary, Jean, and signsthem upon her instructions. Other than that, he plays games in his office all day long.”
