Chapter 132 - 132 Brown is in trouble
?Chapter 132: Brown is in trouble Chapter 132: Brown is in trouble The next day, the stock market opened, and due to the recent release of Brown Group’s financial report, the good performance led to a steady rise in the stock price.
However, at exactly eleven o’clock, Brown’s share price suddenly plummeted, and within three minutes, the limit down was sealed with 12 million shares.
The reason for such a heavy drop was that Ms. Audrey Scott, the CEO of Brown Group, was arrested and taken away by the Public Security Office at the company’s morning meeting today.
Arrest reason: Suspected of murder.
This report directly caused Brown Group’s share price to hit the limit down.
The disrupted Board of Directors and numerous shareholders were in a state of confusion.
“What… what is going on?”
“Yeah, how could General Scott commit murder?”
“If it’s really murder, who is the victim?”
Various voices filled the board meeting.
At this moment, Terry Garcia, the Deputy CEO, stepped forward to take control of the situation.
“Please stay calm, everyone. General Scott’s case is still under investigation, and we must not fall into chaos.”
Someone stood up and said loudly, “The stock market has hit the limit down, how can we stay calm?”
As soon as these words were spoken, many shareholders couldn’t sit still. The case was not yet clear, let alone the company’s financial report being so good and performance being stable, how could it hit the limit down?
“Yeah, if it weren’t for this incident with General Scott, the stock market wouldn’t have plummeted so badly, and we wouldn’t have lost so much. We need an explanation.”
A few shareholders were already getting restless.
Garcia’s eyes swept over one of the shareholders for only three seconds before moving on.
That shareholder, who was glanced at by Garcia, stood up and calmly said to the other shareholders, “Given the current situation, a sharp decline in the stock is normal. Once the situation stabilizes and some good news is released, the stock price will naturally rise again. Between the financial report and now, the stock price has risen by 30 percent, haven’t we all forgotten that?”
When someone stood up to speak for him, naturally others would follow.
“Yes, Mr. Taylor is right. We don’t need to be so aggressive. I’m sure Vice President Garcia is more anxious than we are, and we should trust in his ability to stabilize the group.” Saying this, he turned his gaze towards Garcia, and asked suggestively, “Isn’t that right, Vice President Garcia?”
Garcia stood up and replied respectfully, “Thank you for your trust. Although I am not talented, I will do my best to save General Scott, stabilize the company’s development, and protect everyone’s interests.”
“In that case, we’ll wait for Vice President Garcia to give us an answer.”
Various agreeing voices rang out again in the Shareholders’ Assembly, and Garcia stood in the position of Deputy CEO, the corner of his eye falling on the empty CEO position.
If it were not for the sudden return of the Scott couple, he would have already taken the CEO position.
Now, with one dead and the other taken away with the suspicion of murder, the desire for that position ignited a blaze once again.
Not long after the board meeting ended, Clara Brown hurried into Garcia’s office.
“Dear, what is going on?”
Before she even entered the office, Clara’s sharp voice rang out. Garcia glanced at the surroundings of the office; everyone seemed to be working very seriously on their computers, but in reality, their ears were pointed towards them.
Garcia quickly closed the door.
