"What are you doing?"
Victor Von Doom shook the share transfer agreement in his hand and said comfortably, "Don't you recognize words? Of course, I'm transferring the shares in my hand to Hyperspace Group!"
"I don't agree... and the board of directors will absolutely not agree!"
Ned Sizzle roared hysterically.
He never expected the other party to suddenly pull such a move on him.
Although theoretically, a chairman can freely transfer their shares without needing the approval of the shareholders' meeting, board of directors, or supervisory board.
However, in practice, there are still some restrictions.
Because when transferring shares to someone other than a shareholder, at least half of the other shareholders must agree.
Furthermore, other shareholders also have the right of first refusal.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, Ned Sizzle would indeed have the right to refuse this transaction.
But wasn't that under normal circumstances?
The current situation was clearly not normal!
"I'm sorry, your objection is invalid."
Victor Von Doom directly ignored the other party's man-eating gaze, feeling incredibly relieved.
Damn it, aren't you and the capital behind you so impressive?
Then have the guts to directly confront Hyperspace Group.
I'm going back to my hometown to cultivate immortals... oh no, to practice magic now!
Good luck!
Victor Von Doom immediately waved his hand and signed his name on the contract.
As for how Hyperspace Group would "persuade" the board members to accept this fact, that was no longer his concern.
Since the other party dared to acquire the shares from him, they must have the confidence to deal with all the subsequent messes.
The one who needed to be nervous was finally no longer him, but these dogs of capital giants!
"Happy cooperation!!"
"Happy cooperation!!"
Zemo smiled as he took the contract, then watched Victor Von Doom leave the office before unhurriedly walking to the main seat and sitting down.
He turned his gaze to Ned Sizzle and the others and said,
"Alright, from now on, let us re-evaluate the relationship between everyone and Doom Group... ah no, from now on, this company officially belongs to Hyperspace Group, and a new name will be decided very soon."
"So regarding the continuing relationship between you and the new company, and the shares in your hands, everything needs to be re-evaluated!"
"Hmph, don't think that just because you two reached a deal privately, this contract will take effect as desired."
Ned Sizzle narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered, "Your actions do not comply with the rules, so the board of directors will absolutely not..."
However.
Before he could finish speaking, Zemo interrupted him with an undeniable, dangerous tone: "I'm sorry, the rules I set are the rules!!"
"Although our Hyperspace Group has always adhered to the concept of win-win cooperation and does not exclude business cooperation with other companies or individuals, we have very strict management systems for our subsidiaries."
"So... if you all still want to continue cooperating with this subsidiary, then you must transfer more than 100% of the shares you hold, and promise not to interfere in any company affairs during the subsequent operation."
"Of course, we will repurchase that portion of the shares in your hands at a price higher than the market price."
"Alright, I've finished speaking... Who agrees, who objects?!!!"
"You..." Ned Sizzle and the others almost exploded with anger upon hearing this.
Transfer 100% of the shares?
That sounds so elegant, but translated, doesn't it just mean they want to kick us out of Doom Group?
Why don't you just rob us directly?
No.
Robbing wouldn't be as fast as this!
"Haha, I really haven't heard such a funny joke in a long time."
Ned Sizzle stood up angrily, sneering with disdain, "Hyperspace Group, huh? Good, let's see what happens next!"
Apparently, he had already recalled the relevant information about Hyperspace Group and Zemo.
So what if Sokovia had a Titan?
This was a business war, and he didn't believe they would dare to openly release King Kong to bite him?
Even a strong dragon doesn't oppress a local snake!
What's more, in his opinion, in terms of business warfare, the hitherto unknown Hyperspace Group was simply not worthy of comparison with established capital like Citigroup.
If he didn't let them know the true depth and methods of an old capital giant this time, wouldn't he have wasted all these years toiling in the financial World!
Ned Sizzle then led the board members away in a huff.
"Sir, should we..."
A Thunder Warrior made a slicing motion across his neck with his hand, clearly very displeased with these somewhat arrogant old farts.
Still want to contend with our Hyperspace Group?
You... are you even worthy?
"It's alright."
Zemo calmly shook his head, looking as if he had everything under control, and said, "I believe General Ross will be very happy to help us solve this small problem!!"
Then he took out his phone, found a number, and dialed it.
"It's me, you can send people over to take over Doom Group's related industries now!!"
.....
....
Two days later.
Zemo finally obtained all the shares of Doom Group as he wished.
The originally arrogant Ned Sizzle looked as if someone in his family had just died when he signed, his old face bitter throughout the process.
After signing, he immediately left dejectedly.
In the past two days, this old fellow finally understood a truth—there is always someone better, and there is always a higher power!
Although Citigroup, backed by the Stillman family, had a very large influence throughout America and even the World.
However, in this resource game, they lost completely.
Even if the former directly called the U.S. President's office.
But the Department of Defense then provided their professional guidance to the President—Hyperspace Group is currently one of America's most important strategic partners!
This one sentence alone had already determined the final direction of this acquisition.
That's right, Citigroup's background was indeed very strong, but Hyperspace Group was clearly stronger—because strength is the real hard truth!!
After successfully reclaiming all the shares, Zemo returned to Sokovia to report back to Karl.
However, upon arriving at the office door, two One-term Thunderbolt Warriors on duty gave him an ambiguous look.
Coupled with the blonde secretary outside, whose eyes were green with envy, Zemo instantly understood what was happening inside the office.
An hour later.
The office door opened, and Selena, whose body and mind were greatly satisfied... no, it should be said, supremely satisfied, smoothed her sweat-dampened hair, her face once again resuming the cold demeanor befitting a Vampire Queen.
Only in her icy blue eyes did a hint of lingering tenderness still remain.
(＾ ＾ ●)
I'm full, truly full this time.
At least for a month... oh no, half a month, right?!
"Mr. Zemo, Boss wants you to come in."
Selena said softly, then, under the incredibly envious gaze of the blonde secretary, swayed her elegant figure and disappeared into the elevator.
Secretary: Wuwuwu, when will it be my turn, Boss, please have mercy on me? I'm truly craving it!
As soon as Zemo entered the office, he began to report the acquisition process and details to Karl, who was leaning against the Golden Throne, propped up by his arm, "generating electricity."
However, after only a few sentences, he was directly interrupted by the latter's wave of hand, "You handle the acquisition matters; has Victor Von Doom left?"
"Yes."
Zemo seemed to have long been accustomed to his Boss's hands-off approach, and immediately nodded, "After entrusting his New York properties to a real estate agency for sale, he directly flew back to Latveria."
"It seems Tzeentch's plan worked." Karl's face couldn't help but show a hint of longing, and he muttered in his heart:
"Lord Doom... no, it should be called the fated laborer, is truly something to look forward to."
Zemo then reported the initial screening progress of the Thunder Warrior Battalion to Karl, and then hurried off to deal with other group affairs.
There was no other way; who made him have a Boss like Karl who was a complete hands-off—"doesn't care about this, doesn't care about that, doesn't care about anything"?
Apart from setting the general strategic direction and path, almost all important decisions within the group on a daily basis relied on Zemo to complete.
Truly busy with a myriad of affairs!!
And Zemo was both pained and happy about this.
The "pain" was because his daily work was truly too damn busy...
The "happiness" was because being able to receive such trust from Karl made him feel an urge to die for someone who truly understood him...
Soon after Zemo left, Karl's phone suddenly rang.
He looked at the number; it was General Ross calling.
"It's me, what's up?"
"Boss... ah no, Mr. Karl, that... I'd like to ask for your help?"
General Ross said with a slightly ingratiating tone on the phone.
"Tell me about it?"
"Recently, something very significant seems to have happened at the Vatican Church. It seems that a forbidden item they were responsible for guarding has been lost, and all the guards responsible for that forbidden item have also been killed..."
General Ross said cautiously, "Originally, the people from the Church wanted to ask S.H.I.E.L.D. for help, but their recent performance has been truly disappointing.
And then they saw your heroic performance on the internet when you dealt with the alien Invaders in Greenwich.
So they proactively contacted the Department of Defense, wanting me to inquire... if you could help find out who did it and retrieve that lost forbidden item?"
"A forbidden item guarded by the Vatican Church?"
Karl raised an eyebrow slightly, clearly intrigued.
What could something that the Church called a forbidden item be?
Was it the legendary Spear of Destiny, the Lance of Longinus, that pierced Jesus?
Or the True Cross used to fix Jesus during his execution?
Or those few Holy Nails used during the execution?
Or the Crown of Thorns that Jesus once wore?
Or the Shroud of Turin that wrapped Jesus' body?
However, all these things seem to be revered as holy relics by the Church, right?
They would most likely not call them "forbidden items."
Then what could it be?
Wait a minute.
No!
Karl suddenly thought of a crucial question.
Compared to the frequently appearing Hell, the Heaven Faction, led by God, has always had little presence in the Marvel Universe.
It's even questionable whether it truly existed!
At least he hadn't seen any related descriptions in any Marvel movie to date.
Not even in Blade or Ghost Rider?
So...
Just as Karl was doubting the possibility of Heaven's actual existence, General Ross on the other end of the phone, perhaps fearing rejection, added proactively and somewhat guiltily:
"If it were ordinary circumstances, I wouldn't have bothered you, but I heard that among the dead guards, there seemed to be an Angel's agent... Ordinary people clearly don't have the ability to deal with such supernatural events?"
"And because all the guards died, no valuable clues were left at the scene, so even though the Vatican Church tried many methods, they still had no leads..."
To be honest, General Ross's mood was very anxious right now.
On the one hand, he eagerly hoped that Karl would accept this commission.
Because he firmly believed that with the other party's strength and wisdom, he would definitely be able to help the Vatican Church resolve this special incident.
At that time, as an intermediary... no, perhaps now it would be more appropriate to call him an "agent."
General Ross could completely rely on the Church's immense influence to further consolidate his position and voice within the Department of Defense.
Thereby far outstripping several other competitors on the promotion list.
He could also incidentally crush the plans of those opportunists who recently tried to unseat him and take his place.
There was no other way; who made him so prominent recently?
First, he hugged Karl's big thigh through the DiDi Substitute Driving Service;
Then, he was prescient during the "Seven Cities Crisis," protecting a large number of survivors;
Subsequently, he represented the human government and re-signed the "Armistice Alliance" with Vampire Queen Selena, and so on...
These one by one, all were genuine, great achievements that others could only dream of!
Naturally, they would cause much jealousy and scheming.
General Ross even received news that many competitors had secretly formed a small group, with a very clear goal: to take him down and replace him.
General Ross naturally would not fear these conspiring scoundrels.
After all, he had climbed to the position of Army Three-Star General by overcoming challenges; if he didn't have some solid methods, it would truly be too unreasonable.
However, he deeply knew that this series of recent highlights was all thanks to Karl.
If he lost that man's support, he would immediately be "reverted to his original form"!
