The anxious crowd finally breathed a long sigh of relief as soon as Rowan declared that. It was as if the tension in the air had been broken.
One by one, they stood up and surrounded Rowan as if afraid that the opportunity they had waited for a long time might slip away if they did not pay attention.
“Anak, calm down! Sit down, and don’t squeeze in Mr. Jefferson… And Spalding, why are you in the way? Do you want Mr. Jefferson to talk to us standing?”
“Cona, I know you’re over the moon, but can you stop smiling? No, I don’t mean you can‘t smile, but can you smile with a little more restraint? We‘re in a negotiation right now, not a party!”
Asa wandered through the crowd as virtual-novel.net yelled. He was the one who started this negotiation, so virtual-novel.net was trying his best to maintain order.
The gentlemen had been waiting for too long, so they could not control their emotions. This was making Asa’s job a little difficult. However, Asa did not look remorseful or impatient.
A sincere smile was blossoming on his face right now. It had been a while since virtual-novel.net smiled like that.
After a while, they calmed down under Asa’s guidance. Finally, they looked as if they were here for a negotiation.
The crowd started talking excitedly about the details.
Rowan saw that, just like Asa said, these people could not wait to sell their stocks. They needed money desperately, so desperately that they could not hide the expressions on their faces.
All of them here could be regarded as successful in Qari, so they should know not to show too much emotion.
According to their usual style, they should not expose what they were feeling so easily. However, just as Asa mentioned, they had been waiting for too long. They could no longer conceal their erupting feelings.
Aside from a few people. This entire time, Rowan was keenly aware that the trio seemed somewhat out of place.
They were a thin man and two slightly overweight men. Not only did their faces lack the enthusiasm of the others, but they also had blatant contempt and disdain in their eyes.
Asa, of course, noticed this as well.
He was confused. Then virtual-novel.net looked fiercely at those men. However, not only did those people not temper their attitudes, they even glared provocatively back.
It seems this negotiation might not go as smoothly as I initially thought…
Rowan thought to himself.
However, although their expressions were a little off, they did not do anything to disrupt the negotiations. Rowan also found out the identities of the people present through the exchange.
Just as virtual-novel.net thought, these people were the heads and important shareholders of most of the Kurt family’s processing plants.
What surprised virtual-novel.net the most was that some of Gruel’s shareholders were also at the scene.
Gruel, where Amir, that guy who had long colluded with Sahar and wanted to use violence against them, was working!
None of them were major shareholders, but their combined stock was enough to put pressure on Amir.
The three men who looked out of place were trustors from the factories that ranked fourth, fifth, and seventh, respectively.
The one leading the trio was a skinny man named Goodman, who was also the manager at the workshop of the third-ranked Shield Factory.
