Just a few percent costs half a billion.
Do you realize what 30 % means? Whats the big deal? Its only about five billion dollars not that much, Kingsley replied with a smile.
Marcus nearly choked
How could five billion dollars not be much? Even as a deputy chief at Jayrodale General Hospital with a high income, the idea of investing five billion dollars in Rhodes Corporation shares seemed like an impossible dream.
Nonetheless, Kingsley kept things simple.
He took out his phone, found Rhodes Corporations stock trading portal, and made a few quick transactions
Suddenly, an alert appeared in Rhodes Corporations stock trading data center.
[Shareholder Mr. Kingsley Baldwin has purchased the companys shares for five billion dollars.
Mr. Baldwin is now the fifth major shareholder, holding 35 % of corporate shares.
] The news hit the executive room like a thunderbolt.
Everyone, including Lauren, stared at Kingsley in complete disbelief.
Mr. Baldwin, d did you really just invest… five billion dollars in the corporation? Marcus stammered, his mind reeling from the absurdity of what had just happened.
Eunices previous hostility and condescension toward Kingsley instantly vanished, replaced by shock and disbelief.
Edward shook his head.
No way! Thats absolutely impossible! Even most successful financiers couldnt pull out five billion dollars for an investment without preparation.
Check if hackers have attacked our network and caused this data anomaly.
Michaels face showed uncertainty as he barked at his secretary, Verify this immediately! The sweating secretary worked frantically at her computer and made several urgent calls.
Two minutes later, she looked at Michael with a pale face.
Mr. Rhodes, its confirmed.
The stock exchange has verified Mr. Baldwins purchase of five billion dollars worth of shares, and… Michael exploded.
And what? Are you all brainless? This kind of thing only happens in movies and TV shows, you idiots!
He had carefully orchestrated this meeting on his turf, rallying nearly all of the companys top executives to pressure Lauren and her thorn in his side pretty boy, Kingsley.
If he could not crush these two here and now, then he might as well throw himself off a cliff.
The attractive secretary in her pencil skirt was nearly in tears after being yelled at.
And … the Chairwoman has confirmed that the situation is … genuine.
Michael had to swallow hard.
The Chairwoman, who controlled the largest share of the corporation, was none other than Tiana, the Rhodes family matriarch who had been supporting Michael.
Noticing Michaels expression, Edward stuttered, M Mr. Rhodes, you don’t actually… believe.
this? Lets welcome our fifth major shareholder, Mr. Baldwin, to our noon meeting, Michael gritted out through clenched teeth.
He did not want to believe it, but with Tianas confirmation, he had no choice.
L Only Laurens applause echoed in the room, as the other executives were either still processing the news or too shocked to move.
Lauren beamed with pride and happiness.
Dr. Baldwin, congratulations on becoming our fifth major shareholder.
Your stake in the corporation now exceeds even mine! This was the man she had fallen for always finding a way to turn things around with spectacular moves that left everyone speechless.
Kingsley stood up, and his previously friendly smile had vanished, replaced by an icy demeanor.
The shift in his expression sent chills through the boardroom, making everyone uneasy.
He stated coldly, Since my shares now exceed both the CEOS and Mr. Hills, doesnt that give me the greatest authority and priority in todays lunch meeting? Michaels face twitched
In principle, yes, thats correct.
Edward was not having it, his face contorted with anger.
Kid, I didnt expect you to pull something like this
But five billion in funding you must have misappropriated it from somewhere
With your position and background, even if your family saved for generations, they couldnt come up with that kind of astronomical sum.
Many heads nodded in agreement around the table.
Edwards logic seemed sound, as instantly injecting fifty billion dollars to become the fifth major shareholder was suspicious.
However, Kingsley could not care less about their suspicions.
He slowly walked over to Michael, his footsteps echoing in the tense silence.
Michael flinched.
Mr. Baldwin, what are you doing? Relax, Kingsley replied blankly.
You’re the CEO of the group, and I’m just a board member.
What could I possibly do to you? I’m simply exercising my rights as the groups fifth major shareholder.
! Edward shouted angrily, Mr. Baldwin, get back to your seat! You might have lucked into becoming the fifth director, but you still need to follow basic protocols
Kingsley nodded calmly
You’re right basic protocols must be followed
He paused before saying, So when a minor shareholder like yourself shouts at me, the fifth director, arent you overstepping your bounds? Edward froze, his lips moving to deliver an angry retort before catching himself
He mocked, Well, well, Mr. Baldwin.
You’re showing your true colors on your first day.
I’d love to see what you plan to do about it.
He leaned back in his chair with contempt.
As a founding member who had built the company alongside Laurens father, he did not view this new shareholder as a threat.
Meanwhile, Lauren, Marcus, and Eunice watched Kingsley with confusion, wondering what his next move would be.
Mr. Hills, you were quite bold earlier, threatening to have me arrested and even making me disappear from this world, right? Kingsley asked with a deceptively pleasant smile
Edward lifted his chin haughtily.
So what if I did? Though now that youve shown your deep pockets and become a major shareholder, I suppose I can’t touch you anymore
Kingsley nodded.
Im glad you understand that, Mr. Hills.
Now its time for me to settle the score.
Mr. Baldwin, thats enough, Edward scoffed.
Ive been plenty patient with you.
Settling scores? Arent you being childish? Kingsley shook his head.
Not at all.
Without warning, he delivered a powerful slap across Edwards plump face.
The impact was explosive.
Edwards 200 pound frame, along with his chair, went flying across the room.
The chair shattered against the wall, while Edward let out a painful groan before his eyes rolled back, and he passed out.
The boardroom fell into a deathly silence.
Edward the company veteran, the CEOS right hand man, the head of corporate security, and a board member had just been knocked out cold with a single slap.
The shocking display of power left everyone in the boardroom stunned and speechless.
Mr. Baldwin, you … Marcus scalp tingled as words falled him completely.
Eunice stared in disbelief.
She mumbled, This is terrible.
We finally had things under control, and now hes ruined everything.
Mr. Baldwin, do you realize how serious it is to assault a board member and disrespect a company veteran ? Even Lauren had not expected Kingsley to make such a bold move.
Slapping Edward across the room was something she had not dared to consider, even when she was CEO with absolute authority at Rhodes Corporation.
Michael jumped to his feet, his face dark with anger.
What the hell are you doing? How dare you assault our company veteran ! Are you trying to land yourself in prison ? Is there a problem with me slapping this old fool ? Kingsley asked calmly
He repeatedly targeted me as a director and showed zero respect, constantly insulting me.
Mr. Rhodes, with my current shareholding, don’t you think I’m entitled to collect some interest on that disrespect ? Michael gritted his teeth.
Kingsley- As Rhodes Corporations fifth major shareholder, Kingsley cut him off, my shareholding and my dignity absolutely cannot tolerate any insults
Insulting me is equivalent to insulting the company, so I believe that slap was completely justified
One executive burst out angrily, Even so, you can’t just hit people! Others chimed in, Violence is bad enough, but you hit him so hard that he passed out.
