Triple Blessings: Mr. Fu's Passionate Pursuit

Chapter 861: Chapter 857: Asking for the Hammer and Getting the Hammer

The proposal to sell Dunn Industries in exchange for liquid funds was approved by a majority vote, thanks to the support of major shareholders Harris Dunn and United Ventures.

Richelle Dunn wore a look of “indignation” on her face, but there was nothing she could do.

After the meeting adjourned, Harris Dunn walked over to Richelle Dunn in a show of defiance, saying,

“Richelle, do you want to go out for a meal, as a beginning and an end?”

Richelle Dunn gave him a cold glance and got up to leave.

“Richelle, wait for me!”

Denise Munni quickly got up and followed her out.

The two of them entered the elevator and, as if by tacit agreement, did not speak a word on their way to the helipad on the top floor.

Once on board the plane and seated, Darren Moss called.

“Is it Director Moss? Aren’t you going to explain everything to him?”

Richelle Dunn shook her head, “Forget it, the fewer people know about this, the fewer variables there will be. Once it’s a done deal, I’ll explain it to him properly.”

She finished speaking with Denise Munni and answered Darren Moss’s call.

“Uncle Moss, what’s up?”

“Richelle, are you just going to stand by and watch your parents’ hard work get sold off?”

Richelle Dunn had no choice but to reply, “Uncle Moss, I’ll think of another way.”

“Or, you could talk to Mr. Lewis and have him buy Dunn Industries, that could work too!”

Richelle Dunn didn’t think it was a good suggestion, “Uncle Moss, with Harris Dunn’s temperament, how could he possibly sell Dunn Industries to Roy Lewis?”

“You’re right, even at the same price, or even a lower price, he would choose another buyer. Deep down he knows that Dunn Industries is the most valuable part of the Dunn Group. It’s really their father and son’s inability to let go of their inner demons that are forcing them to sell it!”

Richelle Dunn was grateful that after more than twenty years, Darren Moss was still loyal to her parents.

“Uncle Moss, I’ll figure something out, don’t worry too much.”

After Richelle Dunn’s repeated assurances, Darren Moss finally hung up the phone feeling at ease.

“I estimate Harris Dunn will call Royce Gyons today.”

Denise Munni nodded, “Yes, I’ll let you know as soon as I hear anything from his side so you can arrange for the media to take care of it.”

…

After Richelle Dunn and Denise Munni returned to Kindur and had lunch, they went their separate ways to handle their business.

Around 3 PM, Denise Munni sent Richelle Dunn a simple message.

“Harris Dunn called Royce Gyons, and they’ve already confirmed their intentions.”

Richelle Dunn immediately replied, “Received!”

At around 7 PM, several major media outlets broke the story, headlining,

#Dunn Group splits in two to evade legal liability#

Clicking on this top search term leads to a number of official statements from various major media outlets,

“According to reliable sources, the Dunn Group has recently made big moves to integrate and divide the company, claiming external changes in the company’s business and adjusting its structure to suit the direction of the company’s future development.”

“However, in reality, Dunn Industries has been spun off with the first goal of shouldering the Dunn Group’s recent investment failures abroad.”

“The second goal is to sell Dunn Industries to raise a large sum of money and resolve the company’s urgent need for capital turnover.”

Several major media outlets timed the release of their reports at around 8 PM.

Harris Dunn, who was still working overtime in the office, was immediately informed by the Public Relations department and hastily assembled the key personnel from the department to discuss how to handle the situation.

“Mr. Dunn, these major media outlets are quite certain of their sources, all claiming they have reliable information. If they do have evidence on hand, our current denials and explanations will only backfire.”

The PR director knew the two main goals that the media outlets were discussing were true.

Harris Dunn also felt some agitation, stood up, and paced around the office.

“But if we do not clarify this and let the rumors continue to spread, our stock price will still plummet tomorrow!”

He was cursing internally, as he had almost reached an agreement with Royce Gyons today and had even discussed the approximate transaction price.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

This sudden turn of events rendered everything they had discussed today a waste of time.

More importantly, it was not a matter of wasted efforts.

It was that if Dunn Group’s stock price were to plummet, the price of Dunn Industries would inevitably fall as well!

Mr. Rowen, the director, was undecided for a moment, “Mr. Dunn, do you want us to issue a statement using the official account?”

Harris Dunn naturally knew that doing so was risky because if the media really brought out any evidence, not only would the Dunn Group be proven guilty, they would also have to shoulder the additional charge of losing credibility.

This would only result in the stock price falling even further.

But what if the media couldn’t produce any evidence?

Then the stock price fluctuations would only last for a day or two!

“Let me think about it!”

Harris Dunn continued pacing around the office, more than ten minutes had passed.

Mr. Rowen couldn’t help but remind him, “Mr. Dunn, the earlier we issue the statement, the more forceful it will be. Right now, with all the media coverage, the comments and reposts have already exceeded 100,000!”

Harris Dunn cursed under his breath, looking fierce.

“It must be Richelle Dunn and her malicious schemers who’ve done all this!”

Mr. Rowen didn’t dare to respond to his remark.

Pacing back and forth for another ten or so minutes, Harris Dunn finally told Mr. Rowen,

“Issue the statement!”

Mr. Rowen frowned, hesitated for a moment, then still mustered up the courage to say,

“Mr. Dunn, aren’t you afraid of asking for a hammer and receiving one?”
