It's Love That Blinds Him
It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 155

The most influential newspapers in South Africa, the United States, Great Britain, France, Japan… as long as the Evans group had business there, had more or less reported on the series of events that had occurred in the mine in South Africa. Enoch was far away in Strinas, the headquarters of the Evans group. Before her car entered the group’s parking lot, she was already tightly surrounded by reporters.

Perhaps it was because foreign media took the lead. The reporters present were no longer paparazzi who wanted to explore the private lives of celebrities, but the main financial reporters of famous domestic financial magazines and newspapers. Such a scene made Enoch, who was in the car, frown.

When the paparazzi asked annoying questions, the Evans group could deal with them in the most domineering way. But once reporters aggressively gathered together, it proved the group was at a disadvantage. They had to face the problem, because the outcome of escape would be worse. After weighing the pros and cons, Enoch ordered the driver to stop, opened the door and got out of the car.

As soon as he got out of the car, the journalists surrounded him with microphones. They asked one pointed question after another about what happened in the mine. In silence, Enoch calmly looked at the reporters in front of him, waiting for them to finish their questions. Reporters discovered that Enoch was unusually quiet. They looked around and chose to remain silent.

“Now I can give you a simple answer to your questions. Tomorrow, the Evans Group will officially hold a press conference to give everyone a comprehensive answer.” Finally, Enoch opened his mouth. Looking at everyone present, he paused for a moment and continued: “Vicious competition is inevitable in the business world. As for radiation and landslides, our Evans group will take responsibility, but we will not stop fighting against the adversary who maliciously created such an outcome.” “

Sir. Evans, what do you mean by vicious competition? Are you talking about the opponents who failed to obtain the mine? » The nature of journalists was to get to the bottom of things.

“I’m sorry. That’s all I can say. Please ask further questions at the Evans Group press conference tomorrow. Now, please step aside. I have a lot of stuff to settle.” Compared to Malcolm, Enoch’s tone was much gentler.

But the Evans family’s innate imposing aura could still inadvertently intimidate others. The journalist gave in consciously. When Enoch returned to the car, the driver drove the car smoothly to the exclusive parking space. Enoch took the exclusive elevator straight back to his office.

Before he could sit down, Bob rushed inside without knocking. Enoch looked at Bob in confusion. Since Bob started working in the group, he had always been scrupulous and rarely did things without a sense of propriety, but Enoch didn’t scold him.

“Sir. Enoch, bad news! Some people bought our group’s shares on a small scale earlier. But all the shares gathered in the hand of one person overnight. We underestimated our enemy .During this period, they also bought the shares of most of the small shareholders, and now they hold more than 20% of the shares. If they want to be against our group and easily sell so many shares, the consequences will be unimaginable”, Bob quickly reports the stock market information he has just received this morning.

“What did you say?” There was disbelief in Enoch’s tone. “Who is our enemy? » he looked at Bob and asked.

“The Dresse group,” Bob said affirmatively.

As the leading European financial group, the Dresse group was only active in Europe. They rarely involved anything in Asia. And they have not cooperated with any companies in Asia. Why did they target the Evans group this time? In his mind, Enoch thought about all kinds of possibilities, but he couldn’t come up with the most reasonable explanation.

The Dresse group was not very visible. They had been in business for a long time, so it was impossible for anyone who had been engaged in business not to know of this group’s existence. Although their power is beyond the scope of Asia, many companies in Asia would try their best to cooperate with the Dresse Group. Now that the Dresse Group held more than 20% of the shares of the Evans Group, if they just wanted to hold the shares and enter the Asian market, it was still possible to trade with them, but they wanted to sell the shares maliciously, the consequences would be difficult to manage.

The word “Dresse” was enough to change the minds of many customers and businesses upstream and downstream. Additionally, the size of the Evans group was too large. Once there was an error in one game, the overall situation was impacted, which was obvious.

‘Who could it be? Did he do this to us? Is it Lowell? In any case, Enoch could not think of Lowell, who had been in the underworld, as an honest businessman. If it really was Lowell, then his strength was beyond their imagination. Their chances of winning were not completely one hundred percent.

“Can you find out who the CEO of the Dresse group is? » Enoch asked Bob.

Bob was quick and clean in getting things done, with no errors. His other strong point was that he would never forget anything he saw. He could quickly discover everyone related to someone. Even some inconspicuous people would be discovered in Bob’s computer as the brain.

“I don’t know anything except that he is European. However, there is a rumor that behind the Dresse Group, the Fredrickson family is its financial backer. In other words, the Dresse Group belongs to the Fredrickson family. But no one has confirmed it,” Bob explained everything he knew to Enoch in detail.

Hearing Bob’s words, Enoch frowned. They did not know whether the Dresse group was their enemy or their friend. Vaguely, Enoch felt something was wrong, but he couldn’t say why. It was as if someone had spent a long time setting a trap, and he was the one who had been lured into the trap. What was this person’s goal? The increasingly chaotic thoughts made Enoch look manic.

Then he looked at the newspapers on the table, which had been sent by his secretary. The entire pages were about their mine in South Africa. Reports in various forms had spread to every corner. As for the Internet, he didn’t even need to check it. He could know what was being said online.

When Enoch remained silent and Bob stood aside, Moore, the group’s general manager, entered. He didn’t knock on the door either. His face was terribly pale. Looking at the rare look of frustration on Moore’s face, Enoch calmed down. He didn’t think Moore would bring many pleasant topics to talk about in the current situation.

“Sir. Enoch, 20% of our group’s shares that were acquired were sold maliciously. The stock market is in panic. Many people are selling their shares. Shortly after the stock market opened, our stock reached its limit. The situation on other continents is not much better,” Moore briefly reported.

Looking at the computer that had just been turned on on the desk and seeing Bob standing aside, Moore immediately realized that Enoch had also just received such bad news. What he just said is what happened when the stock market opened.

The red on the screen instantly changed to green. Then a large number of dispersed shares were sold to small shareholders. Shortly after, the Evans Group’s stock reached its limit. This was the first time a sale of this magnitude had occurred since their IPO. It was also the first time that the Evans group reached the lower limit, which stunned them.

No matter how strong their foundations are and no matter what kind of conspiracy lies behind such an operation, the public only cares about the money in their hands and sees only the most superficial situation. They went with the flow and followed the overall situation. A series of malignant reactions quickly appeared one by one among the emerging problems in the sequel.

The telephones of each department in the group were constantly being called. Companies that originally had good cooperation with them began to hesitate, and some spare parts suppliers even broke contracts. These weren’t big problems. The biggest problem was the credit issue that they were paying attention to. A business could not grow if it only used all existing funds in its hands to do business. Most of the money is expected to come from a bank loan. As part of the stock sale, all loans that needed to be reviewed and approved stopped the process, causing the capital chain to break in some industries. It was not easy to make up such a big gap very quickly.

“Ask the advertising department to hold a press conference. Further malignant chain reactions must be suppressed. Funds will be available in three days. Repurchase the sold shares as soon as possible.” Enoch gave the order quickly.

“Got it.” Moore and Bob nodded and quickly divided the work.

“For now, you are in complete charge of the group’s affairs. I have to go to the Middle East. In case of further problems, ask Kaleb for help,” Enoch continued after thinking for a while.

“Yes.”

After saying this, Bob and Moore quickly left Enoch’s office and began to get busy to work. Today, the Evans group faces an unprecedented crisis. The chaos in the mine in South Africa had not been resolved,

Their enemy had really put so much effort into setting such a big trap and had achieved the result they wanted at the most appropriate time. Until now, except for Lowell, Enoch couldn’t think of anyone else who could do this. Vaguely, he had a feeling that Lowell’s target was not as simple as Malcolm alone. He wanted to destroy the entire Evans family, both in terms of dark force or decent business.

If he were Lowell, maybe he’d do the same thing. With Lowell’s position and situation, it was all too easy for him to enter an irreversible extremity. But now they didn’t even know where Lowell was. He was in the dark, while the Evans family was in the open. If they weren’t careful enough, not only would they be broken into pieces, but they would also end all the glories that the Evans family had had before.

It was a war without smoke. He didn’t need to bleed, but he could destroy everything.
