81: Chapter 82: It’s getting cold, let the Hook Group go bankrupt.

81: Chapter 82: It’s getting cold, let the Hook Group go bankrupt.

Not to mention expelling problematic students, with a single word, he could even replace the principal.

But Hook Group…

Cody Aberton thought for a moment and spoke honestly, “President Ashton, Hook Group is a well-known medium-sized enterprise with a decent scale and is not struggling with revenue.

If we suddenly propose acquisition, they might not be willing.”

Ashton Heath lifted his head, and with a glance from those cold eyes, Cody Aberton dared not speak anymore.noveldrama

“Are you implying that whether the Heath Group acquires a company or not depends on the consent of the other company?”

Upon hearing this, Cody Aberton trembled with fright and quickly responded, “President Ashton, that’s not what I meant.”

Ashton Heath half-closed his eyes, slapped the file onto the table, and said, word by word, coldly, “If they are not willing, then short them in the stock market and make Hook Group go bankrupt.

When the time comes, they will be begging Heath Group to buy them out.”

A look of surprise crossed Cody Aberton’s eyes.

Shorting Hook Group in the stock market?

That would require pouring in a lot of money, right?

Although Heath Group isn’t lacking such a sum, the original intention of acquisitions is to make a profit.

But if President Ashton operated in this manner, he wouldn’t be aiming to make a profit at all.

He would be losing money.

He had been with President Ashton for many years, and he had never seen him engage in loss-making deals,

This was truly an unprecedented first.

Cody Aberton felt that all the unorthodox things President Ashton had done recently seemed to be related to Ms.

Joanna.

This time, would it be about Ms.

Joanna again?!

“…Yes, President Ashton!”

Although Cody Aberton was full of questions, once the boss had made a decision, besides obeying, dare he ask another question?!

President Ashton said to make Hook Group go bankrupt, then Hook Group must go bankrupt!

No matter whether the sky is cool or not!

The next day.

Joanna Lawrence heard that Moon Broadley and Tessa Wright had been expelled from school.

They were publicized throughout the school due to the severity of their actions.

At the same time.

That afternoon, all major Financial News Channels were broadcasting the bankruptcy of Hook Group overnight, stating that Hook Group’s stock price had plummeted overnight, so quickly that there wasn’t even a chance to salvage the situation.

Hook Group was also a locally known enterprise that had been operating for over twenty years without encountering any significant financial crises.

Just overnight, it all of a sudden went bankrupt, surprising everyone.

People were speculating about the reason behind Hook Group’s bankruptcy.

Someone suggested that Hook Group had internal problems all along but just kept it from the public.

Now, it could not hold up anymore and is finally exposed.

Some people believed that the boss of Hook Group offended someone, and someone intended to ruin Hook Group.

If it were the latter, given the astounding power and wealth of these people who could bring Hook Group down overnight, one could only imagine their might and money.

As everyone was speculating, Joanna Lawrence heard the news and was shocked.

She texted Ashton Heath, “Is the bankruptcy of Hook Group… your doing?”

Ashton Heath replied quickly, “Yes.”

Seeing his reply, Joanna Lawrence was stunned for a moment.

She asked again, “Is it…

because of me?”

Ashton Heath: “Yes.”

Joanna Lawrence: “…”

Even though she wasn’t well-versed in business, she understood that causing a fairly sizable company to go bankrupt overnight wasn’t a simple task.

She never thought Ashton Heath would go this far for her.

In fact, she hardly suffered any losses yesterday.

Speaking of which, the ones who suffered were Moon and her group.

She thought that beating those guys up and having them visit the police station would be punishment enough.
