Chapter 448 Serving the Dinner
The ‘sudden death’ of Nutao Group was something that no one expected.
The Federal Economic and Security Council was just about to take action to "stretch the balance" and allow the two sides to continue to balance power so as to cause internal friction. As a result, as soon as the plan was delivered to the chairman of the committee, Angelo, he received urgent news. It is said that Nutao Group has already lost half of its popularity.
After ending the communication, Angelo smiled mockingly to himself, then closed the plan he had just opened on the virtual screen, and finally said to Vice Chairman Garrison in front of him:
“Well, your plan is in vain.”
"Ah?"
"The news I just received is that the market value of Nutao Group shrank by more than 50% at halftime, and a large number of short-selling institutions suspected of being secretly controlled by Atlas Group held a large number of stocks at low prices. Said it was basically a death sentence."
"Wait, how could it be so fast?"
Galison, who was sitting opposite Angelo, was a little confused. He received it in the morning. After the public opinion offensive about Atlas and the extremely abnormal pre-market trading trend in the stock market, I immediately started planning this plan.
Gellison thought that his speed was fast enough. If Chairman Angelo agreed, the Security Committee would even wait until the market opened in the afternoon to start taking action.
But he never expected that Atlas would move so quickly, and the performance of the Raging Waves Group would be much more difficult than he expected. In the end, he spent the whole morning rushing out the plan, and also failed to complete it. If it is not used, it will be thrown into the recycling bin.
“Have we been marginalized for too long, so we are so slow to act?” Garrison sighed and slumped back in his chair.
Angelo also shook his head and said at the same time: "It is better to say that Atlas's movements are too fast. With such organization and efficiency, it is no wonder that they can rise so fast. ."
"What should we do next? Should we continue to intervene? Or should we stop this conflict first?"
"Stop it? Luo was stunned for half a second, and then directly vetoed: "There is no way to stop it. Do we have any valid reasons to stop it now?"
As he spoke, he opened a report from the analysis team on the virtual screen.
“This is compiled by analysts. The institutions in the market that have recently launched a campaign against these companies in the military-industrial complex include the companies that took action this morning.”
“ Doesn’t this further illustrate Atlas’s vicious competition in the market?”
“Garrison, you are wrong. We have always believed that these institutions are influenced by Atlas? But in fact, our analysis team has searched all the information we can find and can’t find any relationship between these institutions and Atlas.”
Speaking of this. At this time, Angelo's tone also became a little helpless. This feeling of knowing the truth but having no way to prove it made him really uncomfortable.
"This is really a clean slate." Garrison also frowned and stared at the content on the virtual screen. Then after seeing the latest name that appeared, he said:
"Yuge Capital? Wait, this name looks so familiar."
"The financial backer is the Yuge family from the Thousand Star Empire. It has been established in the Federation for a long time and is also a long-established short-selling institution."< br>
Angelo replied that as the chairman of the Economic and Security Committee, he is quite concerned about these institutions with the background of 'foreign forces'.
“Atlas Group is also a ‘foreign-funded enterprise’ from the Thousand Stars Empire, so it seems that they have a close relationship with the Yuge family?”
"I personally think it is related, but unfortunately we cannot verify this. After all, we have no way of knowing what the internal equity structure of the companies in the Thousand Star Empire is like."
The expression on Angelo's face became darker. As the conversation between him and Garrison continued, both of them felt a lot of powerlessness at the same time. At the same time, they began to doubt themselves. They had previously considered maintaining both sides. Is the "balanced" plan a little too naive, or out of touch with reality?
"All in all, after this period of conflict, it should be no problem for Atlas Group to sit at the 'main table' of the federal enterprise circle for dinner, and maybe even sit directly on the main table. "Is this what other people in the military-industrial complex are looking at?" Galison said with a frown.
“Huh, these guys are not as united as you think. Now that the leader of the Nutao Group has fallen, who else do you think can stand up? There is no way to prevent effective resistance. , they will just become Atlas’s meal one by one.”
Angelo said disdainfully, with a look of deep worry on his face.
"Although I hate to admit it, I have to say that we may have to witness the worst case scenario happen."
——
"Serving the table for dinner? ”
In Atlas’s internal remote meeting, after hearing the director of the Financial Business Center describe Atlas’s current situation, Amber said:
"There's nothing wrong with describing it this way, but to be honest, from a personal point of view, I really don't want to sit at the same table with these people."
"Then let's just get rid of them all and sit by ourselves." Just one table~"
A participant, who was also the boss of the 'Longchang Enlightenment', said, immediately arousing laughter from the people around him.
"Very good, as expected of you."
Amber also laughed, and then continued:
"But this is actually my personal ultimate goal. To build Atlas into a true 'global company', rather than the so-called 'giant companies' that are empty in size and only good at forming cliques for personal gain.
In my opinion, a global giant is not just about how many galaxies its business scope covers, but also the company itself must have hard power commensurate with its own scale.
To put it more extreme, Real giants in the world should no longer be restricted by other forces and political systems, but should be able to dialogue and communicate with them on an equal footing.
This is what I think of as 'dining on the table'."
Although Amber was participating in the meeting remotely through a holographic projection device, his words still made them breathless after his words reached everyone's ears.
To be honest, based on what Amber said just now, if it were placed in the Federation or the Empire, at least it would be labeled as a 'rebel', and then the relevant departments would come to visit it.
But this is Atlas, and the people gathered here don’t have a high sense of belonging to the Federation or the Empire, but they basically don’t.
Especially the group of people in the Financial Business Center, they are eager to use their fists and kicks to regain everything they have lost, so the 'big pie' that Amber drew can be said to be quite satisfactory.
After the meeting, everyone at the headquarters left the meeting room talking and laughing, and Isabel also told Amber to return to the headquarters early to accompany her before the communication ended.
But Isabel didn’t know that her friend Ellenita was sitting opposite Amber at the moment, looking at the latter with a playful expression.
When Amber closed the communication, the female elf smiled and said: "I feel relieved to see that you two are still so annoying."
"What kind of old mother are you talking about?"
"Hahahaha, then is it my turn next? Speaking of which, as a major shareholder, I haven't had a good chat with my investment targets for a long time."
"Please listen to your respect. Okay, Ms. Yuge”
