Chapter 759: Chapter 759: I Want to Meet the Representative of Rhine
The next day, Linton City was awakened by a shocking piece of financial news—the leading enterprise in Linton City, the Clark Family Company, suddenly had a takeover bid announced by the bank!
The news came too fast and too suddenly, and there was no prior indication of it. Companies that had cooperated or were currently cooperating with the Clark Family scrambled to find out what had happened.
The outside world was buzzing because of this news.
Chaos ensued within Clark Family Company as well, starting from this morning. The reception desk was constantly answering calls from various media parties and cooperating companies. Internally, the news of the imminent acquisition caused disarray, and people lost heart in their work!
In the exclusive elevator for the president, Jacob Clark’s face was frosty as he quickly pressed the floor button for the president’s office.
The secretary reported the latest news to him, “Mr. Clark, I just called the bank for confirmation. They said that they didn’t make any mistake in posting the information, and the Clark Family Company has really been listed for sale. As for Rhine, they have already quickly completed the docking last night and have now launched the Merger and Acquisition plan.”
As soon as the words “M&A plan” were mentioned, the temperature inside the elevator dropped more than a few degrees.
Jacob Clark’s face twisted with a nearly icy expression that was nothing like his usual refined and elegant demeanor. His eyes, hidden behind gold-rimmed glasses, were filled with dark gloom. He asked in a low voice, “What about the shareholders’ meeting I asked you to arrange?”
“I’ve already arranged it, but just now, at the secretary’s desk, Sunny called to say that Mr. Brown, Mr. Smith, Mr. Miller…” he said the names of more than ten people in one breath, then quickly glanced at the man beside him, carefully saying, “They all refused to attend the shareholders’ meeting, saying…”

“They said they no longer have any shares in the Clark Family Company, so they are not considered shareholders and feel it is inappropriate to attend the company’s internal meeting.”
Jacob Clark’s face suddenly twisted further. This was a clear way of saying they didn’t want to tell him about Rhine’s sudden appearance, how they made contact, and how they had bought shares from them!
It felt as if he had been punched in the chest, leaving him suffocated and furious.
Thinking about the situation the secretary told him this morning, he felt as if he had capsized in a gutter!
For the past year and more, the Clark Family had been thriving in Linton City, and his personal net worth had soared. To prevent a repeat of the power struggle, he had reformed the company’s management system over the past year, gradually consolidating power in his hands.
Who would have thought that a company that had never cooperated with them would suddenly start acquiring the company? Moreover, the transaction was carried out without his knowledge, under the cover of his own eyes, and involving the small shareholders. Even the bank kept the information tightly under wraps, so he heard nothing. It wasn’t until this morning when everything was settled that he was made aware of the takeover!
Jacob Clark’s face changed color, his thin, ruthless lips pursed into a gloomy line. “Since we can’t get everyone together, there’s no need to hold the shareholders’ meeting. You, help me get in touch with Rhine and make an appointment with their company representative. Tell them I want to discuss the acquisition with them!”
No matter what, he would never let the company be taken over!
Now they could only start with the representative from Rhine!
The secretary immediately said, “Alright, Mr. Clark, I’ll contact them right away.”
