I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier-Chapter 764: Veto Power

"Allow him to make mistakes, but it depends on how big the mistake is. If this time, the investigation clarifies that he was indeed wronged, or that he was framed by others, then we can hold a press conference to clear this matter. I believe it should still have a certain impact on the redemption of our reputation."

"Good, I agree with this point."

"Mr. Li, since you've spoken, what else can we say? Then let's give him this chance. However, we'll have to see the final result. If it really is as such, then nobody's words will be effective."

"Okay, I understand. Hongyu, do you have any questions on your side?"

"Mr. Li, I understand. I have no problems. I will do as you have instructed." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Good. As long as it's settled, harmony brings wealth. It's only when the company is united that we can truly achieve everything. You, ah... never mind, I'll be leaving now. This is the last time I'll intervene in the company's affairs."

As he spoke, he just let out a long sigh, as if he really felt helpless about these matters.

Afterward, seeing Mr. Li getting ready to leave, everyone stood up and watched the old man leave the room.

"Did you all hear that? Now you've all personally promised Mr. Li. Do you still deny it?"

After Mr. Li left, Guo Hongyu's attitude seemed to change abruptly, and even a hint of smugness could be heard in his voice.

"Kid, fine, I didn't expect you to have a trump card to bring Mr. Li here. Impressive, young man. Since Mr. Li has spoken, we have nothing more to say. We'll wait for the final result of the investigation. But Mr. Guo, I'll repeat what I've said—if the end result is as such, no one's words will be effective, understood?"

After finishing, the others nodded their heads, seemingly reluctantly accepting this news.

"Alright, now that it has come to this, there shouldn't be any other matters, right? If not, ladies and gentlemen, you may leave. I will clarify this matter as soon as possible."

After Guo Hongyu finished speaking, the others stood up and left one after another,

until everyone had left, leaving only Ye Chen and Guo Hongyu.

"Big Brother Ye Chen, it's fine. This group of people is just like this; whenever their interests are involved, they will definitely not sit idly by. That's why people who ordinarily don't show up have suddenly appeared today. I'm already used to all this."

"No, what were they talking about—market value, stocks, what's it all about? What impact did this incident bring to them? Can you explain it to me in detail?"

"Big Brother Ye Chen, hasn't the incident already happened? There's really no need to explain. You don't need to understand these things. Rest assured, I absolutely won't let you leave this place. Otherwise, I won't have an explanation for Grandpa."

"Tell me, what does it mean? What losses have the stocks incurred?"

Ye Chen is such a person; if there's something he doesn't understand, he will definitely keep asking until he gets it.

"Big Brother Ye Chen, really..."

In truth, Guo Hongyu was clearer about today's happenings than anyone else, and he originally hadn't wanted to let Ye Chen know about it, but it seemed now he had to tell the truth, otherwise Ye Chen would definitely not let it go.

"Alright, I'll tell you. All of us shareholders hold shares of the conglomerate, but each person holds a different proportion. This morning, due to the impact of the company's events, share prices started to plummet. That's what it means."

Hearing Guo Hongyu's explanation, Ye Chen seemed to understand. The drop in share prices indicated that the shares they held had indeed been affected.

"In the company, the person who holds the most shares should be you, right? Then tell me, how much did you lose today?"

"Big Brother Ye Chen, really, it's not much, you don't need to dwell on this."

"Hongyu, if you don't tell me, I believe I can get an answer if I ask others."

"Fine, I'll tell you. This morning, I lost about seven million."

"What did you say? Seven million?"

When Ye Chen heard this figure, he couldn't believe what he was hearing—it was shockingly high.

Originally, he knew that these people had incurred some losses, but he had never imagined it would be so much money. Now Ye Chen understood why those people had been so angry with him earlier; each probably suffered losses in the millions.

"Big Brother Ye Chen, because our group was listed on the stock exchange quite early, our market value is high, and even small fluctuations can cause significant shock. This is all quite normal. With one piece of good news, all these losses can be recovered."

Guo Hongyu patiently explained to Ye Chen.

"Mr. Guo, I really didn't expect such a huge loss. I admit, it was my carelessness that caused it. What is the good news you're talking about?"

"For example, being able to prove that you were framed or manipulated; that would count as good news, and I believe the share price will quickly recover."

Ye Chen nodded lightly after hearing this.

He might not understand the stock market, but Ye Chen felt that proving his innocence was something he could indeed manage.

"Okay, Big Brother Ye Chen, don't dwell on this matter. It's really not a big deal. Now what you need to consider is how you should handle the subsequent matters."

"You don't have to worry about that; I will have my own way of dealing with it. I want to ask, what exactly does this 'one-vote veto power' mean?"

"Oh, that? That was a rule set by Grandpa at the very beginning of the company. He wanted to retain our ultimate right. However, in the decades that Grandpa has been in charge, he has never used this right."

"Why? One-vote veto power should be very useful. If you have this right, why have you never used it?"

"Hehe, Big Brother Ye Chen, the term of office for each president is five years, and within those five years, we only have one opportunity to exercise the one-vote veto right, so it is very precious to us."
